Laura and her team were an absolute DREAM to work with. Laura is the real life Olivia Pope!!! We faced a lot of challenges and truly, our wedding would not have happened without Laura. She addressed everything that came her way with the highest level of professionalism and was always incredibly calm. She is exactly what a bride wants and needs on her wedding day and I cannot recommend her enough!!!!

The best decision I made during our wedding planning journey is booking Ida Rose Events for planning services. We were fortunate enough to have Edwin be our month-of lead planner and I have no idea what I would've done without him! Throughout our engagement, I thought I was pretty type-A and organized. I wanted to ensure that I gave everything Edwin needed to be successful, but the closer we got to the wedding, the more I realized how much help I needed. As soon as we booked Edwin, he created a shared folder and though we didn't fully collaborate until the month prior to our wedding, Edwin kept tabs on us, checked in frequently, and created a healthy space for me to ask him questions if I needed to.

Sooo many ideas and wants are accumulated throughout the months of wedding planning and I really struggled trying to piece them all together to create a cohesive event. The ever so stylish, Edwin knew exactly what our style was and how to put everything together. As soon as the month before the wedding hit, Edwin took over all communications with our vendors and created collaborative documents to ensure nothing was missed. He also helped close things out that we were struggling to book last minute like our escort display and rentals. He took on the HUGE task of getting all of our vendors together to create a timeline and it was a God send while we were also in the process of closing on our house. Edwin truly alleviated so much stress for us and if I could do it all over again & had the budget for it, I would've totally invested in partial or full wedding planning services.

On the day of our wedding, Edwin made the day about us. He and his team took care of us throughout the day ensuring we were fed, comfortable, and hydrated. While Edwin helped with set up and checking in on my husband, Ashley stayed with me while I got ready. She kept me calm, made sure I had food and water, and tracked where we were at with time.

Edwin managed a lot of stressful situations that I honestly couldn't tell were stressful because Edwin stayed calm and collected the entire day. As a carefree bride who didn't know what the heck she was doing, Edwin carried all of my things and ensured I had whatever I needed throughout the day. The moment my feet hurt, Edwin changed me into my sneakers. I didn't have a bridal party so Edwin helped bustle my dress. The moment I started feeling sick (I was completely nauseous from nerves and social anxiety), Edwin and his team made sure I had water and then changed me into my reception dress. Not only did Edwin and his team take care of me, but our families kept raving about how they were constantly checking in on them to ensure that they were comfortable throughout the day.

I seriously don't know what I would've done without Edwin by my side throughout this wedding planning process. Not only is he a true professional at what he does, he was able to create a safe, calm space that connected us to him in a way that we will cherish him as a lifelong friend. Our wedding felt like a dream filled with so much love and joy. Of course there'd be hiccups throughout, but it truly felt perfect. Everyone kept on telling us how they felt all of the love and happiness not only in us but amongst all of our guests which was the most important! We're so appreciative of the entire Ida Rose team for making such a special day the best day it could be. We already miss it and can't wait for the next event we get to plan with them!

I ended up hiring Laura for a full wedding planning package - she helped with every part of the experience. The only thing she didn't do was make our invitation list... Everything else was handled! Both me and my now husband are busy professionals, so Laura quickly picked up on what we wanted and brought it to life with limited management. She designed everything, managed all the logistics, and tracked down everything she needed to make it happen. During the wedding day, one of her people was always right around the corner. It was an absolute delight working with Laura and her team!
