Best planner ever

I worked with LJ events (specifically Jamie) for almost two years leading up to my wedding. I truly cannot say enough great things about my experience working with Jamie! From the first meeting to our last she was so organized, on top of everything, easy going, a great communicator, always available, and knew all the ins and out of weddings / vendors in the Philly area (and more). She was always quick to respond and super informative. What was really so awesome was how much she was able to listen to what I was looking for, really understand and appreciate my vision and priorities for all the different elements of my wedding, and helped me to make that vision come alive. She really was able to understand my own style and vibe and used this to help find the perfect vendors that would help make my wedding everything I wanted, while also helping keep things in budget. She set up and organized every meeting with our vendors (always with flexibility) and was always able to help advocate for what I was looking. Her extensive knowledge of everything and anything weddings was so helpful when it came to making decisions, whether big or small, and I was always able to fully rely on her to help assist me when I wasn't sure of what I wanted or what to do. As the wedding day approached Jamie kept the entire process stress free and literally made everything so easy and enjoyable. She communicated with myself, my fiancé, both of our families, and more, to make sure everyone was supported as we all got prepared for the big day. She took special care to understand tough family situations (including divorce, long distance family members, etc.) and navigated these so well keeping everyone happy but always prioritizing the bride/groom’s priorities. Jamie literally was there for every single step of the wedding process and made everything so easy and enjoyable. On the day of the wedding me and my fiancé, our families included, did not have to worry about a SINGLE thing. Jamie and her team had everything covered and worked the entire day to make sure everything ran seamlessly. She thought of literally everything to make sure the day was absolutely perfect. My wedding weekend and day was the BEST day ever and was everything I hoped and dreamed it would be. There is no doubt this is thanks to Jamie and LJ events. Jamie was the true MVP of the entire wedding process and I cannot imagine pulling any of this off without her. I cannot overstate the value of having this team help plan your wedding. They are the BEST.

Lauren is the BEST!!!!!!! We seriously not know what we would have done without her help. She helped us with every single detail throughout the whole entire planning process. Everything was so easy and seamless with Lauren, and she truly is the best in Philly. We trusted her with all her knowledge and expertise on all vendors. Our wedding day could not have been any more perfect, thanks to Lauren and her team!
