Lorraine is amazing, amazing, amazing. She is an affordable wedding planner who was a DIY bride herself and understands and respects those types of weddings. When I first met her, I knew she was an on the ball woman who had it together. At our run-through, she asked questions only a professional would know. She went through a certified program (helpful when interviewing to ask either if your planner has this or how many weddings exactly they have done). There were a few twists and turns that came up day-of and she handled it like a pro - we never even knew anything had happened. I'm truly sad I don't get to have more weddings because I would love to work with her more. Hopefully I can recommend her to all my friends so I may see her again! :)

P.S. She worked with us at Falkirk Cultural Center. If you are planning your event there it is very helpful to use people who have been at the venue before.

Lorraine was a pleasure to work with.

She was very professional and stayed on top of things.

We had an issue with our flowers being delivered late to church but with Lorraine's help and professionalism I was able to stay relaxed and able to get a refund from the vendor after.

We had 250 guests at our reception and although there were several incidents that happened I was not made aware of since they were all taken care of by Lorraine.

Very affordable and now I feel like i did not pay her enough for all the great things she did for us!

Our wedding was a success and I owe a big part of it to our wonderful wedding planner Lorraine.

She's worth every dollar spent!

She is very organized, experienced and informational. She is kind and funny while being strict. She totally bring all of my dream about wedding come true and adjust it so it fits my budget. Lorraine was confident that i can have my affordable beautiful wedding. I can never thank her enough. She made the whole preparation fun and secure where it could easily became chaos. My wedding was so beautiful, people guessed that I spent twice more than what I actually spent. Thank you Lorraine!
