From the moment we first reached out until the very end of the celebration, working with Lorell and I Do Events was the most seamless and rewarding part of our wedding planning journey. Lorell strikes the perfect balance of resourceful and supportive—always focused on ensuring that your day reflects exactly what you envision. Her wealth of experience gently guides you toward the best choices for your celebration, without ever steering you away from your vision.

As someone who doesn’t easily relinquish control, this was exactly why we chose Lorell. We shared our wishes with her ahead of time, and she effortlessly took the reins. To my surprise, I even found myself with free time on the morning of the wedding—something I never thought possible!

What many couples don’t realize is how all-consuming a wedding day can be. Between the excitement and the countless details, there’s little time to think about logistics—or even to eat. But Lorell and her team anticipate those needs and make sure you truly enjoy every moment. They ensure you get the most out of this once-in-a-lifetime celebration.

Of all the vendors we hired, I Do Events had the greatest impact on making our wedding not just memorable, but truly amazing.

When my fiancé said he wanted to get married in Alaska, I thought it was just a phase and that he would change his mind. After a few months of planning a wedding on our own, we knew we needed help. That is when we found Lorell. She took what seemed to be an impossible dream and made it a beautiful reality. She went way beyond my expectations! She was always there for us. In every detail, step by step, she created my fairytale wedding. Hiring Lorell is a must! You will not be disappointed! She is very kind, professional and listens to what you want and need. She offers top notch service and the outcome was a person I can now call my friend.

Lorell with I do Events was our day of wedding coordinator, for our special day. I can not recommend her enough!! She ensured that everything was perfect and I did not have to worry about a thing the day of our wedding!! It made the day so much more special for our families and for us to not have to worry about any of the details of setting up and organizing vendors! She also took care of the take down for our wedding and made sure that everything was taken care of at the end of the night! She also 100% saved the day when the zipper on my wedding dress broke!! She knew just what to do to get me down the aisle without anyone even knowing!! I always tell the new brides in my life to hire a wedding planner. Lorell is amazing and the absolute best at making your dream wedding come true!

Lorell was an incredible day-of coordinator for our wedding; I give her full credit for how smoothly and calmly our wedding proceeded. She listened closely to our vision and needs for the day, gave us all the advice we asked for, led our ceremony rehearsal and made sure everyone knew where they needed to go on the day of, and coordinated with several vendors to get everything set up perfectly on the morning of our wedding. After our wedding was over, we found out she had independently noticed my mom had been gone from the reception for a strangely long time, found her in the bathroom struggling with a false eyelash, and helped her reattach it with the extra eyelash glue Lorell had brought. My partner and I never noticed my mother was gone or might have been upset, and Lorell saved the situation beautifully without ever telling us. We were so grateful for the smoothness and levity she brought to our special day. Thank you!

I can't say enough wonderful things about working with Lorell. She was truly a magician when it came to making our special weekend absolutely perfect. From the moment we hired her, she took our somewhat random plan and ran with it, turning our vision into a reality that felt like a dream.

We went with the one carat package for more day-of wedding management. I knew I could invest time and effort into the planning process leading up to our big day but when it came to the day itself, I wanted someone I could absolutely trust to take the reins and ensure everything went off without a hitch. Lorell was that person. She made it possible for me to approach the day without a single worry or hesitation, and that peace of mind was absolutely priceless.

What truly set her apart was her ability to work her magic behind the scenes. I'm sure there were things happening on the back end, but I didn't have a clue about them. That's the mark of a true professional - making everything seem effortless and flawless, so that we could fully immerse ourselves in the joy and love of our family and friends.

Looking back at our weekend at Majestic Valley Wilderness Lodge, I think of it as a dream surrounded by so much love. Lorell’s expertise allowed us to bask in the beauty and love of the moment without any distractions while ensuring that we were staying on track. We couldn't have asked for a more dedicated, organized, and capable professional to guide us through this incredible journey. If you're in need of a wedding planner who can turn your dreams into a reality and execute flawlessly, look no further! Thank you, Lorell, for helping us have the most unforgettable weekend.

If you want a planner who will makes you feel heard, special and ensures that you get your dream wedding then Lorell is your girl. My fiancé and I are from California and chose to have our destination wedding in Alaska. We had never visited Alaska before or during the planning process which could potentially stress out any bride. But everything was smooth sailing with Lorell by our side. She is such a sweet and kind planner who always puts the needs of her clients above all else.

Lorell was the perfect wedding planner on so many levels. She is extremely professional, organized, and patient -- what everyone needs from their planner. Things that made her stand out:

+ She allows for unlimited emailing and contact throughout the process and didn't feel like she was "gatekeeping" information just because we didn't get a larger package

+ We didn't feel like a trend or something she could post on instagram just to further her work -- she was invested in us and our needs

+ She values other Alaskan wedding vendors greatly and that is just a general positive sign of her loyalty, support, and never ending feeling of "I have your back"

+ More on the "I have your back", it was so strong and I felt like I had someone on our team, looking out for our best interests and ensured we got what we were looking for within our budget

+She also has a lot of experience which put me at ease the day of because if anything went wrong I knew she was going to be able to handle it.

+She recommended the perfect vendors for us and helped assemble a team that she knew would lead the perfect day. She also made great recommendations to get the decor exactly where we wanted and within budget.

+Lorell provides two website services to help establish a formal timeline that is shared with vendors and a separate site for the vision, resources, and a place to set up your layout.

You get a lot for your money! The day of the wedding we didn't have to worry about anything and it came out exactly how we discussed and planned for.

She helped give us the perfect wedding 11/10.

Lorell is an absolute dream!! We are SO grateful we had Lorell planning our wedding and supporting us through the stress, emotions, and chaos of the day and all days leading up to the event.

My husband and I are originally from California and planned to get married in our favorite place in the world (Alaska). When we did our initial consultation with Lorell, we instant clicked and knew she'd be perfect for us. When the pandemic hit, Lorell was supportive and helpful in getting everything postponed, which we appreciated since it's really difficult to plan a destination wedding in the middle of a pandemic. When the time finally came to pick up on the wedding planning, Lorell was on top of everything. She scheduled meetings, told us what need to be done by when, helped communicate with the other vendors, and more! She made this process such a breeze.

When the big day finally came, Lorell literally did EVERYTHING. I'm so used to being in control and on top of everything so it was really hard for me to just "relax" on the big day. But Lorell was on top of the vendors, the wedding party, the family, etc. She made the day such a breeze. It's because of her that I was able to actually enjoy my big day without having to worry about anything. And when we encountered issues during the reception, Lorell was on top of it and made sure that I didn't have anything to worry about.

If you're thinking about hiring Lorell for your event (wedding or other), she's your gal! If I had to go back, I would choose Lorell every single time. She's amazing to work with and I'm so glad I found her. The best thing about it is that I get to walk away from this experience with a new friend!

Lorell was without question the best investment we made for our wedding. Our wedding was a destination event, and she was honestly THE main reason for our peace of mind. She is so personable, friendly, and charming, all while being the reliable professional that anyone would want on their team. Not a single one of our wedding guests did not notice how awesome she was at running the event while also staying behind the scenes. If you want to make sure your wedding or event is as successful as can be, the first thing you need to do is hire Lorell. Thank me later.

While in the planning process I needed help with decorating the event, especially the guest tables. Lorell helped me pick items and made sure the decorations looked cohesive. On the wedding day she made the venue look so beautiful and she executed everything perfectly. She ran the wedding smoothly to ensure everything was going according to plan. She made sure my husband and I had a chance to eat while we were being pulled in different directions. Lorell truly made our wedding a success.
