Best decision ever

So glad we had Lydia to help plan and coordinate our wedding. One of the best investments we made for our wedding. Their team handled all the timeline logistics and let us relax. They helped bring our design to life and ended the night with a silent disco, we couldn’t have done without them. Would recommend over and over!

Wedding Date: March 22, 2025 | Venue: Richwood on the River, Milton, KY

Working with Lauren from Bourbon City Events was one of the greatest joys of our entire wedding planning experience. Not only is she so sweet and so fun, but we quickly discovered we had a personal connection—she was in the same sorority and the same pledge class as my Matron of Honor at the University of Kentucky! What are the odds? We spent so many planning calls laughing, reminiscing, and bonding over our shared college roots, which made the entire experience feel personal and full of heart.

Lauren seamlessly stepped in to take over after our original planner had to step away—and I truly mean seamlessly. At 10 months out, she filled in every vendor gap, ensured nothing slipped through the cracks, and elevated every detail with her next-level organizational skills. She’s as Type A as they come in the best way possible—her timelines were air-tight, her follow-through was impeccable, and her attention to detail was unparalleled.

On the day of the wedding, Lauren was truly my guardian angel. She made sure I was calm, happy, stress-free, and always had a drink in my hand and food in my belly. She wrangled groomsmen with grace (even if they grumbled a little) and ensured every single one of my last-minute wishes was executed without me lifting a finger. I didn’t want to be overly involved in the small design choices, so I left a lot up to her discretion—I didn’t even know what my cake would look like, or what flavor it was, or what my signage or flowers would be! I just showed up… and it was like walking into the most magical, personalized surprise party.

The end result? A wedding that exceeded every expectation. Our venue—which has hosted over 30 weddings a year for the past decade—said it was one of their Top 10 weddings of all time. Our photographer called it one of his Top 3, and our videographer said it was the best wedding he’s ever shot. And we truly believe that’s thanks to Lauren and Bourbon City Events.

They took our vision—classic, timeless, "champagne wedding on a somewhat beer budget"—and made it feel effortless and completely us. Months later, our friends and family still talk about how amazing it was, and my husband and I keep saying, “That really was the best day ever.”

If you’re even considering working with Bourbon City Events—do it. They will make your life easier, your wedding better, and your memories unforgettable.

The BEST - creative, genuine, professional, organized

I truly can’t say enough wonderful things about Lydia, Lauren, and the entire Bourbon City Events team! I hired BCE for their full-service wedding planning, and it was easily one of the best decisions I made during the entire process. From start to finish, they were incredibly responsive, organized, personable, and genuinely fun to work with. More than that, they truly cared about making both the planning experience and my wedding day as smooth and stress-free as possible.

Their expert guidance on budgeting and vendor selection was absolutely priceless. Having them review and negotiate contracts, manage vendor communication, and keep everything on schedule lifted an enormous weight off my shoulders. There were countless small details I would have never thought of; BCE not only caught them all, but addressed each one with care and precision. Their attention to detail, creative eye, and knowledge of wedding trends made a huge impact on how beautiful and seamless everything turned out.

On the big day, they were an incredible source of support. Everything ran perfectly, and I was able to truly enjoy the moment knowing they had everything under control. I received so many compliments from guests about how professional, knowledgeable, and helpful BCE was. Lauren and Lydia are true pros with strong vendor relationships across the state, a fantastic sense of style, and a sincere passion for what they do. I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone planning a wedding or special event. They are simply the best!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
