Lauren Portia Events

We planned a wedding in Italy that was more challenging than your typical wedding because of venue and vendor specifics. Lauren went above and beyond to help work through various difficulties and move things forward at points where we were out of ideas.
Lauren helped to not only manage the situation but to also take a lot of the stress away from us in the process. The wedding itself came together even better than we could have imagined and we have Lauren to thank. She will give you the best day!

Lauren is absolutely exceptional. She controlled the entire process of planning from start to finish.

Communication - excellent, always available and hyper responsive over text/calls and had a very transparent calendar. Clear communication throughout, advising us on what ideas were good and where improvements could be made.

Creativity & Vision - Lauren was able to create the vision (primarily driven by my Bride) with incredible accuracy but also fill the gaps where we lacked the vision and she utilized her wealth of experience in the industry of wedding planning.

Organization - Lauren is very, very organized, she utilizes the best technology platforms available to put everything in one place, from seating charts, event space layouts, payment schedules etc.

On the day - She's absolutely everywhere, controlling every small detail and capable of making important decisions quickly. Even outside of her own team of people she runs a tight ship, ensuring all vendors are executing to her high standards.

Working with Lauren was a pleasure, we had a 3 day Wedding Event for 50x people, which consisted of a Welcome Dinner, Wedding Day & Pool Party, all within the same venue but in three different areas of a large 16th Century Puglian farmhouse and she was incredible from start to finish.

We're extremely lucky to have found Lauren and she made sure our special day(s) was perfect.

I can’t recommend Lauren highly enough. From day one, she just got the vision I had in mind and somehow made it even better. I was initially a bit worried about sticking to our budget, but she managed it so well without compromising on quality or vibe - it all came together perfectly.

Our wedding was a blend of British, Persian and Indian culture and Lauren captured this to a T. Every detail, from the decor to some of the ideas, honored our cultures in a way that felt thoughtful, stylish, and totally us.

Lauren went above and beyond what was in her contract, visiting our venue multiple times to help us plan things out in person. She handled every vendor with care and confidence, which was a huge weight off our shoulders. Thanks to her, I was actually able to feel excited about the wedding instead of overwhelmed by logistics. She’s incredibly detail-oriented and always happy to hop on a call when needed, but also independent enough to keep things moving without needing our input on every tiny decision. She struck the perfect balance between collaboration and leadership.

What I appreciated most was her calm but firm approach - especially when it came to pushing back with our venue, who weren't always the easiest to work with. Having her advocate for us made such a difference and allowed us to focus on the fun parts.

Truly, Lauren was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Kind, professional, creative, and incredibly capable!

Where do I even start!? Lauren was a dream to work with from start to end and I would not hesitate to recommend her as a wedding planner. She listened to what we wanted from our Italian wedding weekend and understood what was important to us as a couple. Her communication was second to none, and she was always at the end of the phone for our many many questions. I can honestly say Lauren took away all of the usual wedding planning stress and I don’t know what we would have done without her. Having her there on the day was an absolute no brainer… our day was everything we wanted and hoped it would be and that was all thanks to Lauren making sure everyone was where they should be at the right time. Lauren, I’ve said it 100 times already but thank you so much for everything you’ve done for us. I’m so glad we chose you as our wedding planner and grateful for all of your help throughout the journey. We wish you every success for your future! T&H x

Lauren made my wedding and the whole planning so stress free for us as a couple. She set up the venue perfectly, ensured the timeline went smoothly and pulled off the best wedding EVER! I couldn't recommend Lauren enough. She listened to our vision and came back with amazing options for us to chose from, taking away so much stress from us. EVERYONE NEEDS A LAUREN!

Lauren is absolutely exceptional at what she does. We didn’t have a firm vision for our wedding and she was great at presenting us with options and ideas. She made big tasks like finding a venue and our key vendors very easy and seamless, and I can’t even begin to estimate how many hours she saved us had we been doing it for ourselves. Lauren is incredibly organised and ensures everything is done in good time, keeping track of contracts and payments, budgeting for us, and communicating clearly for the entirety. On the day, she worked so hard behind the scenes to ensure everything was absolutely seamless and we couldn’t be more grateful for her professionalism and support. We couldn't recommend Lauren enough - you will not regret enlisting her to guide you through every detail of your wedding.
