Lauren Zizza Events

My husband and I decided to get married quickly and we planned our wedding in approx 3 months. We started to work with Lauren and she was fantastic - an absolute pro. She helped us make so many decisions - was always mindful of our budget - where to splurge vs. where to save money. She was incredibly helpful with everything along the way and also had a great network of vendors that she trusts and absolutely killed it. Our wedding was incredible. We could not have done this without her. We had 110 people in the Catskills and most people I talked to said it was one of the best they have ever been to. I am still riding on the high of it all. Lauren was also great to work with in general and someone I highly highly recommend. She made it easy for us!

Lauren Zizza was beyond instrumental in making our wedding day one of the most amazing and special days of our lives. She worked tirelessly, coordinating every detail and staying up to date with us every step of the way.

From the very beginning, when we started planning the wedding, Lauren assured us that it would not be a cookie-cutter affair. She was with us at each step, ensuring that not only our personal flair was infused into the wedding, but also that everyone was having a fantastic time.

Whenever we threw crazy requests at her, she didn’t blink an eye. She embraced our unique ideas, including allowing us to decorate our own cake before the ceremony, which added a personal touch that we will always cherish.

Lauren made planning and working on the wedding a much smoother and more enjoyable process. Her dedication, creativity, and ability to handle unexpected challenges with grace truly made a difference. We couldn't have asked for a better wedding planner, and we are immensely grateful for her contribution to our special day.

From our first conversation, I knew I was in the hands of someone who truly understood and cared about bringing my vision to life. Lauren’s attention to detail, exceptional organization, and warmth immediately put me at ease.

Whether it was coordinating with vendors, streamlining the timeline, or handling any changes with grace and efficiency, Lauren managed every aspect with effortless professionalism, leaving us stress-free and fully present on our special day.

Thanks to Lauren, our wedding day was everything we dreamed of, and I cannot recommend her enough. If you’re looking for a planner who is not only incredibly skilled but also truly invested in creating the most magical day of your life, Lauren is the one!!!

My husband and I are SO happy that we chose Lauren to help us with our wedding planning! She was an absolute angel and a savior throughout the entire process. We came in pretty blind with just a few (but very specific ideas) for an intimate and romantic wedding and she helped guide us throughout the planning efficiently and with such professionalism and warmth, while providing wonderful recommendations. Every time we spoke we were that much more excited for our big day, which was a literal dream come true. :) She was super professional and experienced - there were NO vendor delays, NO miscommunications, NO hiccups. We were prepared by our friends for at least one thing to go wrong on the wedding day, but everything was exactly as it should have been with Lauren! She very patiently helped us every step of the way, even when we decided to entirely pivot our venue location, despite being 4 months away from our target wedding date. HIGHLY recommend choosing Lauren as your wedding planner. :)

It's been a month since my wedding and I already miss working with Lauren! I hired her for month-of coordination services and am SO HAPPY WITH THAT DECISION! I didn't have to worry about a thing the weeks leading up to the wedding and especially on the day of the event! Lauren made sure to understand my vision (which was super specific) and managed my vendors and event timeline so perfectly! She served as my "eyes" to help ensure the decor and event setup was exactly how I had envisioned and was a wonderful creative project manager in that regard. She also saved me from a veil emergency (my veil comb was not sewn on correctly so I cut it off.... she emergency helped us get it bobby pinned onto my head since we were at the church without my hair stylist!). I felt beyond at ease having Lauren there by my side- she kept the night running exactly as planned! Multiple friends have commented how perfect/smooth the run of show was (we had an involved entertainment and speech schedule) and we could not have done it without Lauren! She was so delightful and pleasant to work with and honestly someone I miss speaking to every week! :D Could not recommend her and her world-class services more!

Words cannot express how much we LOVED working with Lauren for our NYC wedding at the Metropolitan Club in July of 2023! I was on the fence about hiring a coordinator and debated managing everything on my own with the help of the team at the venue. Boy, would that have been a big mistake as our day would NOT have been nearly as perfect if it weren't for her.

She is extremely knowledgeable, organized and communicative and helped us stay on track with all of the planning and decision making that had to be done. She worked in lockstep with the team at the venue and acted as our main point of contact with our vendors so that we didn't have to be in constant contact with every vendor, especially as the day got closer. She created in-depth day-of schedules, to-do lists, contact sheets and more. All of which I could not have imagined having to do on my own.

When the wedding day came, we truly did not have to worry about a single thing because we had complete confidence that she would keep everything running smoothly. My bridesmaids couldn't stop raving about how great she was and how much they loved having her with us all day. I actually got sad saying bye to her at the end of the night because she had been by my side throughout the entire day (and months leading up to it) and honestly felt like she was a close friend by that point!

If you're on the fence about hiring a coordinator, do yourself a favor and hire Lauren. You will be SO happy you did.

Lauren was an absolute pleasure to work with. She did such a phenomenal job keeping timelines and schedules in line leading up to the wedding, making sure everything was organized, coordinating with the vendors, and providing us the best options available to make our wedding perfect. The day of, we would not have been able to do it without her. She was there for the both of us every step of the way and made sure we had everything we needed. She was perfect with our wedding party, making sure everyone was where they needed to be, and ensured everything went off without a hitch. Even once the ceremony was completed she was by our side the whole way to make sure we were happy, taken care of, and had the perfect experience. When my wife and I first got engaged, and pictured a perfect wedding planner, we couldn't have dreamed of one as perfect as Lauren. She completely exceeded our expectations and we will be friends for the rest of our lives. I highly, highly recommend her for your wedding!

I don't know what we would have done without Lauren on our wedding day! She kept our wedding day running so smoothly. Our family and friends raved about how helpful Lauren was throughout the entire wedding. She helped put us all at ease. She was so helpful throughout the time leading up to our wedding and recommend fantastic vendors. Do not hesitate to hire Lauren to help you plan your wedding! I will be recommending her to all of my friends.

Lauren Zizza helped plan our 70-person wedding in September, and she was honestly a life saver. We had never planned an event like this and didn't know where to start - she worked with us from the beginning to align on our vision and really helped to bring it to life while also keeping cost in mind along the way. We had an issue where we needed to change venues midway through, and she helped provide a list of suggestions and then worked really well with the venue's logistics team once we'd found one. During the wedding, she also kept everything on track while making it feel seamless to the bride and groom. We loved our wedding and Lauren was a huge part of that - would highly recommend!

Lauren Zizza Events is both extremely detail-oriented yet so calm and serene which makes for the perfect experience as a bride. She genuinely loves her work and cares so deeply about her clients, their families, and their loved ones. Having Lauren Zizza Events plan our wedding weekend in the Hudson Valley was the BEST decision we could have made! She is a complete dream and we can’t recommend her enough. Her vendor recommendations were incredible and we couldn’t imagine planning our wedding without her. Plus, her absolutely lovely personality and amazing sense of humor made for a totally relaxed, yet seamless, wedding planning process from start to finish. We recommend her as highly as we possibly can!
