Creative, Supportive, and Calm

Lauren was wonderful - she truly thought of everything. When we first started planning our wedding, we didn't think we would need a planner. As we began to see what was involved, we were SO grateful to have Lauren. She took care of so many details so that we could enjoy the day. Our Vow Renewal was beyond what we could have hoped for, and so much of that was thanks to Lauren's organization, advice, and positivity. We are so grateful!

Perfect Planner

We began working with Lauren a little over 1 month out from our wedding date and helped bring all our wedding needs over the finish line in such a seamless way. From the first day we met until the last our of our wedding day she put me, my husband and both sets of parents at ease thanks to her professionalism. Lauren was extremely knowledgable and organized which helped for a seamless transition of vendor conversations, finalization of plans and last minute adjustments. Lauren had an extremely calming presence that made us feel confident in our decision to work with her to bring out wedding dreams to life. Everyone was able to enjoy the special day without any stress thanks to her and her teams help. I can't wait to recommend her time and time again to all my friend and family who will be entering their own wedding journey.

The perfect planner for the perfect wedding!

My husband and I got married a few weeks ago and Lauren played an essential role in executing the most perfect wedding day! By the time we met Lauren, we had already booked our venues and had some of the wedding plans organized. We began working with Lauren 1 month out from our wedding date and WOW, thank god we did! She is SO warm, knowledgeable, organized, and helpful. Who knew there were so many little things that needed to happen before the wedding?! We certainly would have left out a few things if it weren't for Lauren.

Lauren met with us weekly, and truly, whenever else we asked. She was always on time, prepared, and guided us through next steps. She ended the meeting by going over our to do lists so nothing went unnoticed! Lauren took a ton off of our plate! She was able to quickly draft our wedding ceremony program, order our table cards, menus and other paper products, and gave feedback on color schemes and font choices. When in doubt, we deferred to Lauren's judgement and expertise and she did not steer us in the wrong direction!

Lauren is calm under pressure and has such a reassuring presence; she knew just what to say when I started to panic about Covid guidelines or the impending rain on our wedding day. On the day of our wedding, she checked in with us to see if there was anything we needed. Lauren then proceeded to check in with all of our vendors and make sure that the reception room was being set up - she helped bring our vision to life. Lauren's assistance didn’t stop on our wedding day. Prior to, we had discussed ways to preserve our wedding bouquet. The next day, she shipped my bouquet off to be preserved while we jetted off to our honeymoon. Lauren was with us every step of the way and she made the wedding planning process so much easier and the wedding day so relaxed. We cannot recommend Lauren enough! Thank you for being a part of the best day ever!
