Lauren is the best. From the very beginning, her organized preferred vendor list with links and explanations helped me to pick out and get all my first choice vendors. She is so knowledgeable with all her experience and had so many useful and great recommendations. When we reached the 2 month out mark, she jumped in and it was such a huge relief. There were lots of little things on my invoices that were incorrect or missing that I didn’t see. She communicates to the vendors and you don’t have to worry about anything.

One of the best things is her down to the minute organized, constantly updated timeline and set up list. She even makes separate ones for the emcees and wedding party and communicates with them. We had lots of last minute guest drop outs/additions and she was so great at helping us keep an organized guest list by name and by table. (I am horrible with excel and making those things). She was always so on top of it with everything. She always made us feel at ease by checking in, keeping us on track, and quickly answering tons of emails and helping with all of our questions and concerns along the way.

The entire wedding day was an amazing whirlwind. But it went so smoothly and we didn’t have to worry about anything except enjoying every minute. Definitely the best day of our lives and without Lauren and her amazing team it wouldn’t have been the same. Then she has her “name changing packet” for after which has been the biggest lifesaver.

Also what makes Lauren so great is that she treats you like family and really cares about each couple (not just doing a job with clients). She’s worth every penny to make your wedding day flawless, stress free and bring your visions beautifully to life!

Lauren was the key player in our wedding. Without her, we wouldn't have had the perfect wedding. Her knowledge and connections she has with many of the vendors made the planning process and coordination smooth. As someone who is extremely anxious, I appreciate Lauren's promptness at responding to emails. Most of the time, she would respond back the same day I send out an email! The relief and reassurance she provided me that we were on the right track to getting things done really calmed my nerves down, and I am forever grateful for her for that.

Lauren also provided a very thorough timeline for the wedding day, which we went over multiple times to ensure that nothing was missed and everything/everyone was accounted for. Since our wedding was at two locations (one location for the ceremony and another location for the reception), a strict timeline was necessary. On the day of, she took care of EVERYTHING. I had no worries in the world, which NEVER happens. This was all thanks to her and her team. I can't recommend them enough. Thank you again for being a part of our special day!

We want to share with the whole world how amazing Lauren and her team are. There are so many things you need out of an excellent wedding planner, and she pretty much checks all the boxes.

Lauren cares. We had the unfortunate situation of trying to get married in April 2020. While we did get legally married on our planned day, we did not have the reception we were planning for the few months prior. We selected the two month plan and really Lauren was still doing a lot of work for us before. She was totally in the driver’s seat prior to April and before we really knew how much of an impact the pandemic had on our special day, was gunning towards holding it. Once we realized that this was much more than staying at home for a few weeks, she took the steering wheel and helped us reschedule, and reschedule, and reschedule. Each time she rescheduled our reception, she did all the legwork to confirm our vendors. We really don’t think she needed to, but because she cares so much about us who are pretty much going through this somewhat traumatic time. All we wanted to do was celebrate this with our closest family and friends, but with variants, stay at home orders, and vaccine mandates, we really weren’t sure if this was ever going to happen.

Lauren is pushy, but in the BEST way. She is so on her game and she really worked so well with us and we’re sure all other couples. She made sure we kept to our deadlines (relatively…we struggled a little to meet them, but she let us know which ones were a must and which she could give us a day or two more on). But it makes a huge difference because with all those deadlines we needed to meet, she was working in the background putting all the timelines together and handing off information to our vendors.

Lauren is precise. When our day finally came, we did not have to worry about much. She literally took care of EVERYTHING. Some of our wedding party were even making fun of her, but in a good way. A lot of us work in jobs that manage projects and timelines, but we were all shocked and amazed by the level of detail she puts in her timeline, and how hard she’ll work to carry it through.

We know some of the hurdles we went through won’t apply to most reading this (the COVID rescheduling mostly), but we thought it was critical to include it in our review because it really shows you Lauren will make sure your event is perfect. You know, she doesn’t have a crystal ball, or had a manual on how to handle weddings in a worldwide pandemic, however, with her organization, precision, and her passion for her work, she dedicated herself to making sure our wedding was something we’ll always remember.

Lastly, we’ve been to our share of weddings (in all honesty, we’re some of the last of our own friends to get married, so we’ve been to A LOT), and never have we taken the time to say, “Wow, this planner got her/his/ s*** TOGETHER!” but we had a ton of people who made similar comments to us, saying that this was the smoothest wedding they’ve ever attended. I think at best we’ve been to weddings where we’ve never noticed any hiccups, and at worst, helping our friends with the timeline that day. So for people to even notice the organization, that’s truly awesome.

The price of a planner is not cheap, but we do feel like anyone getting married should budget for one. And even better, if Lauren is available, BOOK HER NOW! You will not regret it.

Working with Lauren and the L-4-Love team was the best decision I made during the wedding planning process. Lauren is an absolute delight and an amazing person. She made the whole planning process smooth and easy. We had to postpone our wedding due to COVID and Lauren made it so easy for us to get everything rebooked. Our wedding day was everything we wanted and more. Lauren understood our vision and really brought it to life. The day went SO smoothly because I know Lauren was behind the scenes taking care of things. She thought of every little detail so my husband and I could just enjoy the day. I could not recommend Lauren more!!!

Lauren is simply the best! Her professionalism, kindness, and work ethic are amazing and she helped to make our special day what we always dreamed! Lauren is detail oriented and really takes the stress of wedding planning away so you can truly enjoy the day.

I promise you will not regret hiring her!!!

Let me start by saying that hiring Lauren was probably the best wedding related decision I made (aside from marrying my hubby of course 😜). From the get go, Lauren was always prompt in replying to my emails. I’m sure any bride can attest to how stressful it is having vendors who take forever to reply to emails. Not Lauren! She sometimes even replies in minutes! Not only was she quick, but no matter how many questions I had, she never failed to address every single concern. It doesn’t stop here. Not only is she prompt and thorough, but she was also SO sweet and kind!
Having a global pandemic strike smack dab in the middle of wedding planning was a challenge to say the least, but Lauren handled everything as if she had planned weddings during pandemics in her past life. From changing our date twice, to reaching out to our vendors to reschedule, to helping us find the most epic ceremony venue, to standing up for us when we were having unexpected fees on an invoice, we honestly couldn’t have done it without her. We always felt that she truly had our best interest in mind, and stayed positive and realistic at the same time, despite the challenges. EVERY couple needs someone like Lauren and her team on their wedding day. Looking back, I felt absolutely zero stress on our wedding day, and to me, that’s priceless!! ✨

Lauren at L-4-Love was recommended to us by 2 coworkers and one of my now-husband's best friends, who all gave rave reviews. When we first contacted her, she immediately impressed us with her initiative by coordinating a couple of great quotes with a top-notch photographer and videographer. She continued to impress us by helping us save lots of money with her ideas on how to negotiate certain things with the hotel and getting us good deals with other vendors. We were planning a destination wedding on Lana'i, which is an island so small that almost all vendors need to be flown in, making logistics more challenging, however, she helped us navigate all the intricacies along the way. She was very flexible and helpful when we had to reschedule our wedding to a year later due to COVID. Throughout, we communicated a lot and she made sure we had all the little and big details were in place. I appreciate that she was always so helpful to me even when I might have been freaking out and getting type-A. I also appreciated that she would give her honest opinion (even if it might have been bad news or contrary to what I thought I wanted) and it would end up working out; in addition, it was great that she did a site visit on her own with the hotel (flew to the neighbor island), which she didn't have to do. Our guests had an AMAZING time and thought the wedding was beautiful, and we had a WONDERFUL time on the wedding day, full with great memories and everything went smoothly; the vendors she had recommended all executed perfectly too. The day-of coordination with her and her assistant was very smooth as well; one detail that was very nice was that they coordinated moving all our things from the reception back our rooms; we didn't have to worry about that. Plus, Lauren and Mona had really calming and positive energies on the wedding day that helped make it a nice experience. I definitely recommend using L-4-Love and am glad that we worked with Lauren!!

Lauren, is the absolute best wedding planner out there! What a blessing it was to have worked with her. From day one she was very responsive, detail oriented, and organized. She helped us navigate through all of the challenges with COVID restrictions. This included having to replan numerous aspects of our wedding along the way due to restrictions. She was integral with communicating with our venue and all of our vendors. She planned the most perfect and stress free day for us and we were able to kick back and enjoy our wedding day. We can’t thank her enough for the phenomenal job she did. Lauren is very down to earth, kind, humble, and joy to work with. She is also a very creative thinker and will listen to your needs while coming up with creative solutions. Best of all, Lauren has a preferred vendors list with her recommendations and past experiences of other vendors. This will definitely save time and help you select the vendors that suite your needs the best.

We met a wedding planner and gained a great friend. Thank you Lauren!

When my wife and I were looking for wedding planners/coordinators for our destination wedding in Hawaii, we quickly decided on using Lauren and her team. Having had some friends use her services in the past and reading through a number of reviews, it was one of the easiest and best decisions we made. First, she has a number of different packages to fit any couple's desired level of involvement and is even willing to make a custom package tailored to your needs. After selecting the package, she was extremely helpful putting together our vision with her extensive network of vendors (along with L4Love exclusive discounts!) and her experience planning so many weddings. Since we were in LA, having her help to coordinate with vendors especially in the last month leading up to the wedding was super helpful. On the day of our wedding, she had an extremely detailed timeline that was perfectly planned so everything went at or ahead of schedule. Overall, we assumed that weddings would be stressful, but surprisingly working with Lauren and her team made everything stress-free. We couldn't have asked for a better day, so thank you to Lauren and her team for helping our dream wedding come true!

From two postponements due to COVID to pulling off our dream wedding, we really could not have done it without Lauren and her team!!! Lauren is the most organized, thoughtful, caring, and detailed wedding planner. On the day of the wedding, her and her team were very professional and always catered to our needs. They truly made our wedding stress less and really made it about celebrating us as a newly married couple. She really understood our vision for the wedding and executed it perfectly! I highly recommend L-4 love to any engaged couple.
