Best Decision Ever- Hire Her!

When my now-husband and I got engaged, finding a wedding planner was one of the best decisions we made. 

My fiancé and I interviewed Michelle among a few other planners, and ultimately selected her because she was knowledgeable, well-spoken, and thorough when we spoke, and chatting with her was easy. We felt she’d be a good fit for our personalities. 

We hired Michelle for full-service wedding planning, including everything except for searching for a venue, as we had already selected a location. Michelle was able to provide valuable perspective and coordination and advice on making the best decisions! Having her along through each aspect of the planning process was more valuable than I could have imagined. Her attention to detail and ensuring everything is in place is fantastic.

When the big day rolled around, Michelle and her assistants were amazing. They made sure that I only needed to worry about where to be and when to be there, and my husband and I were able to fully enjoy our day with each other and our wedding guests, which made the day even more special! 

I can’t say enough how thankful I am to have found Michelle and if you’re debating whether or not to hire a planner…HIRE HER!

10/10 Would Recommend

Michelle was absolutely phenomenal throughout the whole process. Her attention to detail, organization skills and networking connections are unmatched and she made our wedding day better than we could have imagined.

I was initially reluctant to get a wedding planner but I can sincerely say that reaching out to Lavender Crown Events was one of the best decisions that we made while planning our wedding. Michelle is worth her weight in gold and in my opinion, under charging for her services.

I cannot recommend Michelle and Lavender Crown Events highly enough.

Highly recommended for day-of coordination

I'm so happy I chose Michelle as the day-of coordinator for my wedding. She made everything go smoothly, from running our rehearsal, to setting up the reception decorations, to coordinating our entrances for the ceremony and more! I was nervous about how I was going to get everything to the venue, but she showed up to the rehearsal with a truck big enough to fit all the alcohol, decorations, and favors we had prepared. And I love the way she took the box of decorations I gave to her and decorated our reception area perfectly. I would highly recommend her for your wedding.
