So helpful!

She's super detailed and goes above and beyond to help alleviate stress from wedding planning and coordination. I'm not someone who generally enjoys planning, so planning a wedding plus my own workload was a lot to manage. Lauren was so helpful throughout the whole process and really helped calm the chaos especially right before the wedding. 10/10!

Thank you!

From our first phone call with Lauren, we knew we needed her to be a part of our day! Lauren's expertise of the industry and attention to detail are unmatched. We hired Lauren for month of coordination services, but she truly went above and beyond that. Leading up until our day, Lauren attended venue walk thru's, consistently checked in on the planning process and always was willing to answer any questions, and provide her recommendations. Once the month of came around, we were so confident in letting Lauren take it from here! Lauren was crucial in getting all of our vendors on the same page, and ensured the day ran so smoothly with her detailed timeline. When it came to set up for our reception, Lauren and her assistant Sue executed our vision perfectly. Every place card, sign, and candle were carefully and thoughtfully placed. At the end of the night, Lauren was to credit for all our items being packed up, and safe in our room, including all of our cards, keepsake items, and decor. From the rehearsal night to tear down of our reception, Lauren was there for whatever we needed, and did so with such professionalism and a smile. Without Lauren, our family, bridal party and my husband and I would not have been able to enjoy our day as much as we did. Thank you, Lauren!

10/10 Wedding Coordinator!!

We would absolutely recommend Lauren to all newly engaged couples! She was so kind and professional and clearly very knowledgable about the industry. We utilized her "month of" package and her expertise and organization made the last month and especially the day of our wedding truly stress free. Knowing everything was in such good hands allowed us to actually enjoy the day and make lasting memories rather than worry about the little details, which were consistently taken care of by Lauren. She flawlessly helped coordinate with all of our vendors, set up decorations at our venue, and keep everything on our timeline. We researched and booked vendors ourselves and she knew many of our vendors , such as our DJ, already, which shows that she has a strong presence in the San Diego wedding scene. Plus, as a bonus, she made sure I had a glass of my favorite drink in hand the entire night (and even brought me St. Germain when the bar didn't have it!), which was such a special touch and very much appreciated! Certainly do not hesitate, book Lauren as your wedding planner!

Wedding 2024


Lauren & Ashley were AMAZING! From the first phone call, I knew that she was who I wanted to have as our coordinator. Her vibe & energy was very bubbly and welcoming!
I had chose the month-of to the day-of coordination package.
We communicated mostly through email & phone calls, cuz we don’t live in SD.Thankfully, Lauren was very quick when it came to responding & got back to us ASAP. She was very transparent as well, which I appreciated a lot. Lauren was so helpful & let us know that she was there if we needed help with anything at all. She did check ins & made sure we kept up with meeting deadlines.
The month leading up to the wedding way was the most stressful thing EVER! We had no clue how we wanted the tables/decorations to be set up or how the inside of the venue was going to look. We did a mock set up of the center decor for the tables & for the welcome table. But, we had no idea how it was going to be set up.
When it came time for the reception, Lauren let Mike & I go in by ourselves to have a first look. We were speechless. It was absolutely PERFECT, better than we imagined!
The rest of the night went so smoothly. I’m so thankful & grateful for all the time, effort & hard work that Lauren & Ashley put into making this day as perfect as possible. Ya’ll are amazing and we appreciate you both so much!

So Happy With Our Wedding Day

Lauren and her crew did an incredible job planning our wedding. A month before our wedding, Lauren jumped right in and got started. We went over everything from the timeline to the amount of candles on each table and I felt so confident with Lauren by our side. She did an incredible job. The day went perfectly! I told her how I wanted to spend a lot of time on the dance floor and she was able to make my dream come true by making the day move so smoothly and allowing extra time on the dance floor for me! I also had a vision of how I wanted the reception room to look and with her expertise she blew it out of the park. When I walked into the reception room my jaw was on the floor. The room was decorated so beautifully and exceeded every expectation that I had. If you want your wedding day to move smoothly and want someone to listen to everything you desire, I recommend going with Happileigh Hosted Events. Lauren was not only an amazing planner but also felt like she was a friend. She really cares about your wedding day and will do everything she can to make the day run smoothly & turn out beautifully.

Happily Hosted Events is ABSOLUTELY amazing!

From the start of planning, to our wedding day - Lauren was absolutely amazing and the sole reason why our ‘destination’ wedding was completely stress free. She was always available to help with random questions and concerns that popped up during the planning process, despite being in a different time zone. From timelines to venue seating charts, and ordering decor - Lauren took care of everything. Her attention to detail and eye for design was incredible. We had A LOT of moving parts on our wedding day and Lauren took care of everything seamlessly!! Not to mention, our guests RAVED about the service and how smooth the wedding was, which is 100% due to Lauren and HHE. If you’re looking for a wedding planner in any capacity - look no further than Lauren at Happily Hosted Events. We are forever thankful for her!

Amazing Experience with Happileigh Hosted Events

I am certain our wedding day would not have been as perfect and magical as it was without Lauren from Happileigh Hosted Events.
For the majority of the wedding planning, I was in Michigan and Lauren was in California. This did not matter one bit; Lauren would answer texts with questions or concerns almost immediately, and would schedule phone calls as needed. As the wedding got closer, she completely took over communication with vendors and planned all logistics.
As for the day of the wedding, I can't even express in words how smoothly the entire day went because of Lauren. I was able to get ready with my bridesmaids and family without even thinking about the set-up happening at the reception location because I knew Lauren would make it look absolutely beautiful. As expected, it was everything I had pictured in my head, knew I wanted, and what I had communicated to her.
Lauren was professional, passionate about my wedding, and overall a wonderful and lovely woman to work with.
I would highly recommend anyone planning a wedding to work with Happileigh Hosted Events!

Exceptional events from the sweetest!

Both my photo team and I had the pleasure of working with Lauren for the beautiful wedding of Athena and Alex. Her responsiveness and attention leading up to the day was such a breath of fresh air as a wedding vendor. Often, to get photo timelines etc. from a planner requires multiple emails. Not with Lauren, the experience she gives starts well before the day of the actual event and that is the mark of a great planner.

The energy she brings to the wedding day is contagious. She can wear so many hats to get everything done all while checking in on her vendors and clients and you’ll never catch her without a smile on her face. As a wedding photographer having a planner that gives my couple an exceptional experience is key to the success of my photos. I need my couples to feel relaxed, happy and feel that they can just soak in their day with the confidence that their vendor team will handle all the rest. Our couple didn't feel an ounce of stress from the wedding day because Lauren was behind the scenes executing everything flawlessly.

The event we worked together had three different locations throughout the day, something I've seen go awry if not planned out well, but the day went off without a hitch. I would highly recommend Lauren to any of my couples and she is in fact on our preferred vendor list which we take very seriously as direct reflection of us. Couldn't be more confident having her name on there.
