Lara was a rock star in every way. She had great ideas, was a vast source of info and most importantly was just a lovely person to be around. There were a couple of small glitches but strong and quick thinking kept them from turning into problems. So grateful for the kindness of Lara and her team for taking care of the bride as well as the needs of the MOB, FOB and MOH. Just realized Lara and team didn't get the envelope I had set aside so sill get it in mail pronto. It was in my MOB bag,....thanks so much for helping make my precious daughter's dream come true

Lauren from LK events is amazing! she is completely professtional and has the respect of all the vendors she works with, and she is fun! My husband and I loved working with her. both my husband and I are super type a and we had the addtional stress of planning a chicago wedding from new york but as soon as we met with Lauren we knew she was the one. We could have asked for a better weekend of planner, we trusted her soo much that for once in our lifes we have up the control and let her run and the wedding and it turned out even more amazing that we had dreamed. she alway went above and beyond the call of duty to make sure we were happy! ask any vendor she worked with everyone and tell will all say the same thing she is the wedding planner to work with!

In the midst of planning our wedding, we began to realize how overwhelming the decisions and tasks had become. Who are the good photographers? What fabric of linens should we choose? How do we coordinate transportation? We had so many questions. We were incredibly fortunate to have Lauren help. From scheduling appointments and searching for the perfect Chicago venue to making sure the cupcakes and flowers arrived on time, Lauren made everything happen! At the last minute we had to move the ceremony inside due to threatening clouds. The transition was so smooth and well executed that my guests had no idea two hundred chairs were swiftly repositioned. Most importantly she reassured me everything would be perfect.
Lauren has extraordinary taste. Her creative ideas blend modern sophistication with refined tradition. She was dedicated to capturing the essence of my personality while being mindful of our budget. Her attention to detail and meticulous organization allowed me to relax and enjoy my engagement and wedding day. Menus were aligned on every plate, hors d’oeuvres and champagne were delivered to the bride’s suite, our grandparents arrived without worry, and my bustle was always elegantly gathered. Every touch was thoughtful and precise. Every idea was beautifully conveyed. I truly remember the perfect wedding day. My husband and I cannot thank Lauren enough!

Lauren is the BEST of the BEST! She is a young, vibrant, DOWN TO EARTH wedding coordinator who will definitely make sure everything is PERFECT. I worked with her in May 2010 for my wedding at the Drake in Chicago and everything went as smooth as possible. It was a gorgeous day and I couldn't have done it without her. In addition, she had another wedding the same weekend and I had no idea! She couldn't have seem more focused on my wedding. She offered to do things that went above and beyond my expectations of her. A ++++

Lauren's energy, her laughter, and her enthusiasm is absolutely infectious. She helped me not only manage all the vendors but also my entire day was totally taken care of by her and her staff. I didn't have to worry about a thing, everything was perfect and my smile in every photo of my wedding is evidence of this fact! I was thrilled with the day, thrilled with the planning, and thrilled with Lauren's level of professionalism and expertise. I would be happy to pass along my recommendation to anyone looking for a wonderful planner that just "gets it" and connects with everybody they meet. I used to work in the event world and Lauren is a true professional in every sense of the word.

Lauren created a magical day for all of us. She went above and beyond our wildest expectations. She traveled from Chicago, IL all the way to Naples, FL to put an enchanted evening on the beach. Lauren is caring classy, creative and OH SO TALENTED...and it shows in her work. Words can not express the gratitude that my Husband and I have for her and her dedication to perfection. Not one detail was overlooked and our families and the rest of our guests had the best night ever. From the invitations, to the ceremony to the cake...nothing was overlooked. The wedding was truly everything we hoped and dreamed it would be. Thank you from the bottom of my heart and I cannot wait to plan more events with LK Events!

We had gotten the week of the wedding package, which was what we needed, as we did a lot of the planning and coordination, but did not want to be overwhelmed on our wedding day. Lauren was responsive, was willing to provide us referrals and link us to them, as well as being there when discussing the itinerary with our vendors. She was on point and was able to handle situations pretty effortlessly. My husband and I had very little to worry about on the day of our wedding, which attests to how much work she did! Overall, she did a fantastic job of coordinating our wedding services and handling all of our vendors.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Lauren is a studious, careful, attentive, creative addition to any wedding day that you can't help but appreciate as another vendor. Someone who really cares about what they're doing. It's obvious that the bride and groom are thrilled to have her be a part of their day, which in the end is the main goal - then in turn everyone in attendance who loves the bride and groom can enjoy the details that they, with Lauren's help, have presented for their enjoyment. She's a wonderful resource to have in your corner!

Lauren is a fantastic planner and really great to work with. I especially appreciate her previous experience in the catering world, which helps myself and my clients feel more secure by having her around.
