Laura is a dream to work with ! Very thorough and highly creative. She brought our dream to life and made our wedding experience very calm. She's the best !!

The Kenai Peninsula has just found its latest wedding planner! Laura was just amazing—so knowledgeable, organized, and patient. She truly went above and beyond for our wedding. We couldn't have pulled it off without her. Our guests and family couldn't stop raving about her, and we're just so grateful for all her expertise. Thank you, Laura!

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.

Working with Laura has been an absolute joy and an experience beyond words. Her kindness and professionalism shine through in every aspect of her work. Laura's organisational skills are truly top-notch, evident in how she seamlessly orchestrated the entire day for us. From start to finish, she collaborated with the most incredible vendors in the area, curating an unforgettable settings that exceeded all our expectations.

Laura's attention to detail and dedication to creating a magical experience made this day truly special. Her ability to navigate the intricate details of wedding planning with grace and precision is commendable.

Thank you, Laura for everything. We are very happy that we met you and could create this magic with you.

As a fellow wedding vendor, I'm always excited to see Laura from Forever West Weddings & Events on a client's list. She's a pleasure to work with as a professional, and I can always count on her to be organized and communicate clearly throughout the wedding planning process. Investing in her services will help you streamline your planning and let you enjoy your dream day with those you love.

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!

Laura was so sweet and easy to work to work with! She had wonderful vendor recommendations, which were SO appreciated as we were planning a wedding from several states away. She crafted a beautiful timeline for our wedding day, took care of confirming details with all of our vendors leading up to the wedding, set out (and nicely packed back up at the end of the evening!) all of our decor and so much more! Perhaps what most impressed me about Laura was how she seamlessly handled our back-and-forth ceremony setup plans to accommodate a rainy wedding day! Hiring Laura is most definitely a worthwhile, valuable investment for your wedding day!

Laura is everything you want and need in a wedding planner- she is organized, patient, detail oriented, kind, and brilliant. From Laura and I’s first meeting over a year ago to our very last meeting before the big day, it always felt as if she lifted a huge weight off my shoulders. Every single time. She always had the right answers (and when she didn’t, she would find the answer in a heartbeat), quick to respond, and always worked within our budget. Laura worked so well with other vendors, kept me on task at all times, asked me questions when needed, and had great communication throughout the whole process. I never felt alone in the wedding planning process all thanks to Laura.
On the day of my wedding, she worked tirelessly to make sure every detail was perfect and in place. She checked in on me, always stayed cool, calm, and collected. I truly do not know what I would have done without her. She is worth her weight in gold. And then some.

Laura was my wedding planner angel sent from heaven!! - TRULY! James and I got engaged in August and originally found and booked Laura for a "Month of Planner" to get married out at HF Bar Ranch our happy place. Laura ended up being our FULL TIME planner for about 8-9 months. She went ABOVE AND BEYOND for me..and was of such great help to my mom and I. I loved our calls..so much so that I honestly miss her. She is so incredibly organized and was always going out of her way to send me links and research beautiful plates, candles, links to pinterest boards to help me create the rustic elegant ranch wedding on my dreams. Laura was the calm to my crazy. I am extremely picky when it comes to the finder details and Laura was so patient with me and did an incredible amount of research to help find the perfect vendors for us. She even took on little side products for me like organizing my guest list and creating spreadsheets for me when I was busy working my day job as a nurse. Not only was she an incredible planner, organized, and detail oriented -- but you could tell how PASSIONATE she was about our wedding and how much she really enjoyed the entire process. There is absolutely no way we could have pulled off our special day without Laura. Laura, we love you. You are AMAZING and we will be forever grateful for all of your blood, sweat, tears, organization (always with ease) and love. Thank you for being the calm to my crazy. If you are looking for a planner - look no further. Laura is the one! All my love, Demi Gagliardi (Darien, CT - Denver, CO)

Lindsy is an ANGEL and has such incredible taste. I was a very picky bride wanting a rustic elegant vibe and lindsy at Linden House DELIVERED! I was SO grateful to have found her - even just by looking at her instagram I knew we would be taken care of as her taste is so chic and beautiful. Our blue willow plates were paired perfectly with white wash wicker chargers, gorgeous glassware, antler sheds for the tables, beautiful cow hide rugs for the bar and more. Seeing my vision come to life with Lindsy at Linden House help - was a dream come true. Lindsy, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You traveled a long way and were incredibly responsive to me throughout my anxious wedding planning process. Your mock up proposals were stunning and gave me such peace of mind, and our décor and table settings on wedding day were absolutely STUNNING. Linden House I am so grateful for your impeccable work! It was truly magical. THANK YOU! XO Demi and James Fuller

Laura McCutchen from Forever West Weddings & Events is an incredible wedding planner. She helped us plan an amazing wedding celebration in Jackson, WY and we could not have done it without her. We live on the East Coast and were not able to come out to Jackson to meet with any vendors, and were so impressed that Laura found amazing vendors. She communicated with vendors for us, and always communicated with us about updates. We met over Zoom over the course of 2 years, and developed a great relationship. It felt like Laura truly understood our vision for our rehearsal dinner and wedding, and it showed in the final product. We will miss working with Laura and would recommend Forever West Weddings & Events to anyone who wants to plan a wedding out west!
