10/10 Would Recommend!

I don't even know where to begin -- Lauren played such a HUGE part in making our big day run smoothly! I am not much of a planner, so I hired Lauren to help create our design plan and do our month-of coordination. She took my scatter-brained Pinterest vision and turned it into reality. She helped with ordering everything that we needed and did an amazing job setting everything up on the day of the wedding. She was organized, punctual, and an amazing communicator. She literally gave birth during the wedding-planning process and STILL did not skip a beat when it came to helping us get things ready for the big day. Lauren is SO committed to her job and she is so dang good at it.

On the day of the wedding, Lauren set everything up, communicated with all of the vendors, and even took the time to listen to my husband's vows before the ceremony because he was nervous. After the wedding, she had a professional artist draw us a picture of my wedding bouquet with the date of our wedding on it.

I cannot recommend Lauren enough. She is the absolute best at what she does!

Lauren was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was willing to work with our specific vision and needs, going above and beyond with helping us through the planning process. Lauren has strong knowledge of weddings and all of the details that go into them. Her management on the day of the wedding was crucial. We highly recommend I Love Love Events.

If you are looking for a creative, fun and super professional wedding planner - I highly recommend I Love Love Events! Lauren is adorable and has such great style! She brought so many fun ideas to the table while listening to my visions to help create my dream wedding! In addition, she was CRUCIAL for day of decorating, organizing and corralling all of my vendors. I will definitely use her for other big events in the future!

Lauren went above and beyond to help me with my laid back, low key vision. She even let me ship things to her home instead of my 5 foot apartment. She was calm, enthusiastic and extremely passionate. You can tell how much she truly cares about the wedding planning profession. Her prices were EXTREMELY fair. I loved my wedding-- and I loved working with her.

Lauren was able to interpret my constantly evolving vision and execute it beautifully, lending her own creative ideas along the way. She was always conscious of my budget meaning a whole lot of DIY on her part which made all the difference in the details of the day. She kept things running smoothly the day of which meant zero worries for me! I would hire her again in a heartbeat!!

Highly recommend Lauren

Upon getting engaged in mid-2020, I hired Lauren to help me with an edesign for our wedding, as well as serve as our month/day-of coordinator. When we had to shift our wedding from October 2021 to October 2022 due to COVID, she was more than flexible and understanding.

On the edesign, my vision shifted greatly over the two and a half years I was engaged as trends changed (and simply my mind did, too) but Lauren’s efforts helped me greatly in creating a starting place for deciding what we did and didn’t want for the look and feel of our big day. I was so glad to find her and this service as it was exactly what I felt like I needed as an overwhelmed bride planning all of the nitty gritty details myself without a design vendor (simply wasn’t in the budget). Something else that was just invaluable was being able to let go and be present on my wedding day, knowing Lauren and her assistant had everything handled as it related to set up and tear down of everything I dreamt up.

Lastly, it came to coordination and planning, her vendor recommendations were always well-appreciated, especially as we live in Chicago and aren’t nearly as familiar with the area. For everything else leading up to our wedding day, Lauren met me where I was at with planning and details, which is saying a lot as I am pretty particular. She helped me where and when I needed it, and respected my preferences in other circumstances.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
