Talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular

We were so lucky to work with Lauren and her assistant, Amy. Lauren was our week-of coordinator but just within a few emails and a video call, we felt like we'd known her for years. She was so quick with her responses and feedback. She validated all of our frustrations and completely took all the stress off our shoulders. Even our vendors complimented us on Lauren, saying how confident they felt in their own work under her direction and leadership. My husband (!!) literally said "I wish we could have Lauren's help every day of our lives". She is the ultimate problem solver, initiative taker, and just a lovely person who lends an ear.

I never had to leave the dance floor (and best believe I didn't) because Lauren and Amy handled everything. Every time someone has asked me how our wedding went I keep saying "Amazing. And if anything went wrong, Lauren and Amy must've worked their magic because I couldn't tell you who, what, when, where, or why".

I could go on and on. Anything in the wedding industry is HARD work. These ladies are at the top of the charts for a reason. They made us feel like A list celebrities. I've been recommending Elle & Co. to all of my engaged friends (and even my single friends!). If you're on the fence, this review is your sign to inquire!!

Beyond amazing experience!

Our wedding was March 9, 2024, at the spectacular Mt. Washington Mill Dye House. From the moment we began working with Lauren and her team at Elle & Co., we knew we were in the best of hands. Their week-of support was simply unparalleled.

From the outset, Lauren's dedication and foresight were remarkable. She anticipated details we hadn’t even considered and deftly arranged a rain backup transportation plan, which turned out to be a lifesaver. Her proactive approach, coupled with her insightful advice and seamless vendor connections, transformed what could have been a stressful planning process into an absolute joy.

Lauren's availability and responsiveness were outstanding. She was always there to answer our questions and offer valuable insights. In the crucial week leading up to our wedding, she was available at a moment’s notice, meticulously tying up every last detail. The creativity Lauren brought to our wedding was extraordinary. She took our vision and brought it to life in ways we couldn't have imagined, showcasing all our months of planning with effortless beauty and elegance. Lauren and her team made our wedding not just special but a true reflection of our personalities and love story.

Lauren's connection with our vendors was seamless. She ensured everyone had exactly what they needed, and any potential hiccups were managed with grace and efficiency. She even assisted us in arranging “happy birthday” to be sung to our two flower girls, turning 6 and 1 the week of the wedding. She also assigned a team member to escort in the Orioles Bird who made a surprise appearance for our guests during cocktail hour! Ushering him in during our ceremony, with our guests none the wiser.

One moment that stood out was when she discreetly removed a tip jar we hadn’t planned for, knowing we had already taken care of tipping the bartenders. Her thoughtful actions ensured everything flowed smoothly, keeping our families and guests at the forefront of her mind. Another was when we surprised our bridal party with a dance floor champagne toast — a detail we forgot to tell her about, but she stepped in and magically made multiple bottles of champagne appear at a moment's notice.

On the day of the wedding, Lauren and her team executed a master plan that was detailed and perfectly timed. Every aspect of the day went off without a hitch. Their meticulous attention to detail was beyond anything we could have imagined. If there were any issues, we never knew about them, which is a testament to their flawless coordination.

We cannot thank Lauren and the Elle & Co. team enough. They helped us created a magical experience that will forever be etched in our hearts. Our guests were equally impressed, with many commenting on the seamless and well-thought-out details of the day. I wholeheartedly recommend Lauren and the Elle & Co. team to anyone seeking a wedding planner who will go above and beyond to make their special day extraordinary. We can’t thank them enough for their incredible support and professionalism that has left an indelible mark on our lives.

Thank you, Lauren and Elle & Co., for making our wedding day a perfect, unforgettable celebration of love!

Amazing! Outstanding!

We love Lauren! She made the entire process fun. Because of Lauren, we felt confident that everything go smoothly - and it did.
She handled all of the details - coordinating vendors, giving us a comprehensive timeline, managing things we couldn't have anticipated - and also made sure the overall event was wonderful for everyone. Lauren is charming; she is super-personable, easy to work with, professional, and just incredible.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Elle and her team are amazing to work with! We know that when we are working with EED on an event it will be run smoothly and professionally. He designs are always breath-taking. One of our favorite things about working with Elle is that because her designs are so polished and unique, they are also challenging to execute. Having worked with her for many years we know her to be fearless in design and steadfast in execution- and we love how she continues to push us to be on the cutting edge of event production.
