Laki Events and Design

We hired Laki Events + Design for both our 30-day + day-of coordination in addition to our florals and décor for our April 2021 wedding in Scottsdale. Lara and team were recommended to us by our venue, and she did not disappoint! I wasn't the girl who knew exactly what she wanted for her wedding day, but I knew I wanted a clean and classic look. Lara helped bring this vision to life and because of her, the day went flawlessly. It was extremely advantageous to have our coordinator also handle florals and décor - the "one stop shop" was instrumental in making this a very easy process and as a bride, one less thing you have to worry about on your day!

I feel so lucky to have found Lara. She has a calming demeanor that radiates throughout the entire wedding process. and I would highly recommend to any family or friends. There was an unfortunate and unforeseen last minute change to our wedding that occurred 4 days prior to walking down the aisle. Our outdoor wedding had to move inside for dancing, something that would normally be just fine, but in the midst of a pandemic, we were hoping for a 100% outdoor event. Upon receiving the news that we had to move inside, Lara and her team seamlessly handled the situation both with my husband and I, and the venue. By no means was this an easy task, especially with hours to go until our wedding, but Lara handled it with grace and class. I know Lara worked extra hours that week to ensure things worked out and that my husband and I were happy. She transformed a space that 1-week before we hadn't even talked about nor planned for. Lara made some calls and ultimately, made things happen! Exactly what you want in your coordinator.

This last minute change required more of Lara and her team. This adjustment now required a third move of florals (from outdoor ceremony space to outdoor reception area to indoor band/dancing). She didn't charge us more, she never added more to our worry plate - she just made it happen and we are so grateful to her and her team.

By the end of our wedding, we were more than happy - WE WERE ECSTATIC. There are always things about your wedding day that you don't think about - like what happens at the end of the night with your stuff and décor? Well, that was not something I was thinking about, and as my husband and I walked into our room at the end of the evening, all of our belongings were carefully organized and placed in our room. Not something I expected, but was so pleasantly surprised and relieved that everything had made it's way to our room - especially the all the beautiful cards and your guest book! Just one of those intangible items that Laki Events + Design does without even having to ask the bride + groom - because we were having too much fun on the dance floor!

We are so grateful to have Lara help us through the last minute changes and make our wedding come to life. Our weekend was everything we wanted and none of that would have been possible without the amazing team at Laki Events + Design. If you're looking for a team that knows what they are doing, a team that is adaptable and able to make things work no matter what, and extremely friendly - I highly recommend hiring them!

OMG. I don’t even know where to start. Lara was simply amazing!!! She is SO SO organized, which was so important to me being an out of state bride. Everything from our initial consultation to the end of our wedding night went perfectly. Lara is very responsive, professional and most importantly so very kind! Our wedding day was crazy but I couldn’t even tell that it was because of how good she is at her job! We had a bunch of wedding day decor (from California) and had brought it over during our final venue walk through and she was so sweet to take it all for us and brought it on the wedding day. That had saved us so much time and stress of worrying about how to bring everything with us on the plane the week of our wedding. This was hands down the best thing we had purchased for our wedding! Lara took out ALL of the wedding day stress for us. I especially love how detailed the timelines were! There was a time for everything and it was amazing because it kept everyone and everything on schedule. Lara and I worked on our timelines the month of our wedding and she made it so incredibly easy for us. We really cannot thank you enough Lara! We love you!!

Brides: if you are like me, who love to plan your own wedding from start to finish but just need someone to make sure your day runs smoothly, Lara is the one for you!

Making the choice to have Lara and her team at Laki Events a part of our wedding was the BEST choice we could have ever made! Lara is so sweet and easy to work with and she really made sure we had the wedding of our dreams. She was very professional throughout the whole process and such a huge help. If I ever had any questions or changes, she always got back to me in a timely manner and was very responsiveness to everything I needed. The day of our wedding, she made sure all vendors showed up on time and everything was set up ready to go. The whole day ran smoothly and she always made sure to check in and see how everything was going. Even after the wedding, both my husband and parents said Lara was amazing! Many of our other vendors for the wedding were so excited to hear they got to work with Lara and Laki Events again, and that really says a lot. I would definitely recommend them to any couple because having Lara was literally the best thing we did!
