Probably just about the coolest wedding planner

TLDR; Laura was so wonderful to work with for our destination wedding. She was super personable, communicative, prompt with responses, organized, and held great relationships with our vendors while meeting our vision and staying within our budget.

My husband and I were looking for a wedding planner to help us plan a destination wedding in the Grand Tetons. We are from Washington DC and didn’t get a change to view any venues, meeting any vendors, or do any food tasting prior to our wedding.

We hired Laura with the full planning package and have zero regrets as Laura was so hands-on, friendly, and organized. We had previously met with a few other wedding planners in the area, but felt that we liked Laura’s personality best and knew we would get along with her. To any other couples looking for a planner, we can’t stress how important it is to find someone who we thought we would get along with.

Laura listened to our ideas, fed us some great suggestions, and never pushed any ideas on us. She always came back promptly after every meeting we had with her to communicate what she was able to discuss with vendors to make sure our vision was met, but also made sure it fit our budget. Throughout the process, Laura kept us on track to make sure we had everything we needed leading up to the big day.

We felt that she also had a great relationship with all of our vendors which made it easy to continue communicating with the vendors leading up to our big day. We had gone back and forth with some of our vendors a few times, and Laura was able to maintain that great relationship with them to make sure what we wanted was met.

My husband and I didn’t see the venue or do any food tasting prior, but the big day turned out perfectly. There’s a small fear that something may not turn out the way you envisioned because we planned this remotely, but since the day turned out so great – food was delicious, venue was beautiful, etc., it just goes to show how good Laura is at her job and how much she can be trusted with such a monumental occasion in your life.

Can’t stress enough how amazing Laura was to work with and how there are literally zero regrets from the moment we started working with her.

The Best Wedding Planner for the Best Day!

Laura made my wedding day absolutely magical! She was fantastic from start to finish, including many virtual meetings as my husband and I live several hours away. Laura made sure to check in regularly and was available anytime leading up to the big day -- she was always quick to text me back when I had a question, no matter how small. On our wedding day, she was invaluable in coordinating with all the vendors, setting up the tent (cleaning up the tent), going above and beyond in everything, and answering questions from all our family and friends. I am so happy to say that Laura has become one of our dear friends and that hiring her was the best (and easiest) wedding decision I ever made. If you are getting married at the Brinton in Big Horn, WY (or anywhere for that matter), be sure to choose Forever West!

Owner / Lead Planner

Born in Richmond, Virginia, I grew up surrounded by southern women who seemed to have a natural flair for hosting and entertaining. Memories of my aunt's floral designs and grandmother's beautiful table settings still help inform my design aesthetic today. However, ever since I could ride a hobby horse, I've been enamored with the American West and moved to Wyoming at the first opportunity. After meeting my husband in Lander, we settled down in Sheridan and have been loving the wide open skies, mountains that soar straight out of the plains, and endless possibilities for adventure ever since.
