    Alaskan Wedding Planner

    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!

    Beyond expectations

    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.

    Absolutely a must for your wedding day!

    I had always promised myself that when I got married, I would hire a wedding planner to help with my day. I had witnessed first-hand the stress that weddings bring for setup and during the day. I hired Lorell for day of planning/coordination and I am SO happy that we did. From our initial meeting before actually hiring her, she brought so much energy and excitement into that first meeting. Her overall personality, energy, and presence confirmed that I needed her for my wedding day! Well a year and a pandemic later, I am so happy to have had Lorell there during our wedding. I can say with so much confidence that I would not have been able to fully enjoy my wedding day had it not been for Lorell and her team. Being able to hand over all of the plans that I had made over the year and for her to make the vision come to life was well worth EVERY PENNY. If you are on the fence about hiring a wedding planner, I would say that this will be one of your wedding investments that you will never regret, and to BOOK HER! Highly recommend, 10/10!

I worked with Lorell on a resent wedding and it was an absolute pleasure to be a part of that wedding because of how helpful Lorell is. As a photographer, some photos can fall through if the timeline isn't arranged correctly, but she made sure I had a timeline before the wedding day, and also answered all questions I had about the big day. She was completely prepared for everything, and it all went along flawlessly! During the reception she made sure I had everything I needed to get detail photos, and she made sure all the vendors were on the same page throughout the entire night. Even when the guests ate longer and servers didn't clear tables fast enough, she had added in the perfect amount of cushion space for such incidents. Everything went absolutely perfect and we left the wedding with every shot we needed because of her incredible planning! It was such a joy yo work with Lorell and I will be recommending her to all of my clients because of how helpful she is and how wonderful she is to work with! And I know I'm not the only one that thought so--the bride even thanked her in her toast!! Lorell and I Do Events is absolutely, without a doubt my preferred planner! She is the best planner a bride could hope for.
