We would not have had the great wedding experience we had without Lauren!

We interviewed several potential wedding planners and Lauren was the clear choice. She understood that my personality was more about the details and logistics than about the creative side of things. She totally filled in where I needed help creating a vision and pulling it off. Not only does she have the ability to execute on a vision, but she knows the vendors and venues in Santa Fe. Her recommendations and relationships with the vendors made for such a great experience. We could not have pulled it off without her!

Amazing planner, designer and coordinator!!

Lauren and her team were INCREDIBLE!!! She is so experienced and has dealt with every possible wedding speedbump, is super organized and has an amazing way of making your wedding vision come to life. She took every bit of stress out of the planning of the wedding and she made the day incredible! Not only is she an expert planner, but her design experience and creative eye made our wedding day even more special. Thank you Lauren and the rest of the team for helping us throw the best party ever!

Amazing in every way!

Lauren was such a joy to work with during our wedding planning. We used her partial planning package and she truly went above and beyond for us. From the vendor suggestions to her incredible eye for all of the tiny details (she helped put together the tablescapes of my dreams!), we felt so lucky to have Lauren’s help. She put together timelines, helped us with vision boards, and everything else we didn’t know we needed. The day-of, she was everything we could have asked for. We used her rentals company as well (Darling Details - which we also highly recommend!) and she was there first thing in the morning making sure everything arrived on time, was put together in the right spot, and just generally taking care of everything that I didn’t even know was happening. She was such a calming presence on the day and I felt so confident knowing that she was taking care of everything. I was able to relax and enjoy the perfect day, and I know she was an integral part of that. Highly highly recommend Lauren and her team!

Best in Albuquerque! Lauren is a MUST HIRE!!

We hired Lauren in 2019, planning for our 2020 180-person wedding in July. Then the pandemic hit. Our venue informed us they were no longer doing large weddings so Lauren of Just Lovely helped us totally transform our wedding, from contacting vendors, sourcing information, day-of planning - she did it all. The whole weekend went by so smoothly, was so much fun and just well done - all thanks to Lauren's planning, expertise and relationships with other vendors. If you're considering a wedding in ABQ, seriously call/run to Lauren. She's a dream and we could not be more grateful!

The Best Wedding Investment!

Just Lovely Weddings was a joy to work with throughout our wedding planning process. The heart and conscientiousness Lauren devotes to Just Lovely Weddings and Darling Details Rentals is evident in the outcome – Lauren brought our dream wedding vision to life!

With the partial wedding planning package, Lauren curated a vision board to fit our needs & wants, helped us coordinate with other wedding vendors, constructed pertinent timelines, organized meticulous details including tablescapes and furniture rentals, and provided insight and suggestions throughout the entire process.

Lauren genuinely listens to her clients’ needs and concerns. Her creative thinking helped navigate some minor wedding hiccups, such as last-minute logistical changes at our venue.

Lauren’s professionalism and respected reputation in the wedding industry allowed for seamless interaction between other vendors to create wedding magic!

I highly recommend Lauren at Just Lovely Weddings and her rental company Just Darling Details for your wedding needs!

Lauren is a MUST HAVE for your wedding!

I interviewed multiple wedding planners in Santa Fe/ABQ for our wedding in Santa Fe and Lauren immediately stood out from the rest. Within five minutes of speaking with her I knew that she was detail-oriented, organized, creative and the exact type of person we needed on our vendor team. Little did I know that she was all that and SO MUCH MORE and at the perfect price point. She was literally a dream come true. Not only did she bring all of our ideas and visions to life but she also kept everything running smoothly throughout the entire process. She always responded quickly, had answers for all of my questions and knew exactly what needed to happen next. We had a large wedding weekend with multiple events and moving pieces and Lauren went above and beyond to make sure everything was in place and that we were happy AND stress free the entire time. Multiple times throughout the weekend our families said "Lauren was the best money spent on this weeding" and it couldn't be more true. If you're a bride looking for a wedding planner, look no further! Lauren is the best!

Absolutely Perfect!

When I first met Lauren I thought she was so amazing with such a good eye for details and filled with creativity, I knew immediately I wanted her by my side as my wedding planner! When I actually began to work with Lauren I was 100% right and on top of everything else she is the sweetest!
Lauren took charge of everything and kept not only me but my entire wedding party in the loop and on track for the day. I didn’t worry about a thing and didn’t feel the need to! Lauren definitely gave me peace of mind for the day and I knew all would be well. The venue was AMAZING! Even better than I had planned or anticipated. She handled everything and styled it all to perfection!
Unfortunately, we had a hiccup during the wedding (but what wedding doesn’t right), Lauren stepped in and handled it like a pro! THANK YOU LAUREN for going above and beyond the call of duty! She’s the best and definitely an investment you will not regret!

If you want your wedding day to run smoothly and stress-free, hire Lauren

We hired Lauren to do month-of coordination and day-of coordination for our wedding and this was one of the best decisions that we made. She provided us with guidance for picking wedding vendors, and handled all of the coordination among vendors for the entire final month. Because of her we were able to just enjoy the day of our wedding stress-free as well as the weeks leading up to the wedding. The final month was honestly the least stressful part of the wedding planning process and that is entirely due to Lauren. She is entirely professional and really easy to work with.

I CAN NOT SAY ENOUGH GOOD THINGS ABOUT LAUREN. Not only do you get what you pay for, you get more and on top of it all Lauren is the most amazing, sweetest person there is. Her main goal is to make sure the couple is happy. She took care of everything for me and honestly there’s no way I could’ve done it without her. I am so happy I chose her to help create our day, I would recommend her to everyone! You will not regret hiring Lauren to plan your perfect wedding. She is just the best.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
