Lauren, Angela, and team were incredible. We originally hired them to coordinate a venue that was already decorated and they just had to coordinate day of. Because of COVID, our plans were cancelled. Angela not only helped us negotiate with the venue to get our money back, she helped us plan a whole new wedding in less than a month!!!! She was there for me every step of the way while I had meltdowns about the whole fiasco. Not only did she not ask for more money, she helped me to organize, she took it upon herself to come early to set up for our special day, and kept me calm throughout the process. She felt more like a friend than a planner! We are so thankful we had Angela on our special day. It was absolutely perfect and we couldn’t have asked for more. 100% recommend them for whatever you need! They are the best.

Truly COULD NOT have done it without her!
Yes, we're still in the midst of a pandemic. And, for someone who was still so absolutely ready to throw a wedding, we knew we were going to be performing a bit of a balancing act. In fact, this was our one-year-postponed wedding. Lauren and her team have been with us through it all - the very low (i.e. contacting ALL of our vendors to let them know the new plan and set things up) and then, even more importantly, when it was time for replanning our wedding from scratch.
Lauren helped me navigate the ever-changing restrictions, kept in CONSTANT contact with the entire vendor team, and reminded me regularly to HAVE FUN with it all. But then, on the day of, that's when she REALLY shined.
From the moment the morning started, Lauren and her assistant Grace were there for every question I had - they kept us on schedule, they grabbed everything I needed to move to the venue, they held onto my phone [AND took some BTS pictures!], they brought my overnight bag to the hotel because we didn't have time to check in due to having no gap between getting ready and game time... I can't get over how they made the day so flawless.
Everyone we spoke with [including all of our vendors] said that Lauren and Grace EXECUTED THE HECK out of what was arguably one of the more complicated weddings I've ever attended. But, best of all, they made it look effortless. I could not have done it without them. I might like to think I could've but I would've been miserable, I would've been hungry, AND I would've been the least happy bride.
Lauren and Grace kept us fed and handed us drinks [booze and water], they kept us informed, AND they surprised us with a fully decorated hotel room with some snacks the night of. If you are on the fence for hiring a planner GET OFF OF IT, Hire Lauren and her squad, and you'll be a totally blissed out bride (and/or groom) the day of your wedding, and the weeks/months [or in our case, YEARS] before!

Lauren is a boss and you must hire her!
Hiring Lauren for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made! We did most of the planning ourselves so used Lauren for day-of coordination but she made herself available for questions and check-ins while we were planning which was so helpful! On our wedding, Lauren made sure everything ran smoothly and on time. I don’t know how she did it but it felt like she was next to us the entire night and also running things at the venue simultaneously, and knew what we needed before we even asked! She’s also so organized, sweet, and easy. Definitely hire Lauren! It’s money well spent and having Lauren’s help makes everything a lot less stressful.
