The friend you need for your wedding 🤍

LM Event Coordination was exactly the team we needed to ensure a smooth destination wedding! Lea was wonderful! She made us feel at ease since the moment we met her. I knew things would be wonderful with her help, and they were! Lea helped with vendors and last minute vendors 😅— all of which were phenomenal people. She even helped with final touches and things I (literally) ran out of time for! I don’t know what we would’ve done without Lea, she kept us on track and alleviated wedding stress! Lea and her team are effective communicators and guided our wedding along in the most composed and professional manner. We had the pleasure of working with Cornelius as well and he’s an absolute gem! I’m so grateful they were a part of such a special time for us. THANK YOU!

Best wedding planning team!

LM Event Coordination heavily supported with the planning and coordination of my wedding at Hotel Emeline in Charleston this year. As a bride, I truly could not imagine not having Lea and her team as a part of my wedding. From her attention to detail, answering my thousands of questions, to making sure that every detail of my wedding day turned out beautifully - including our last minute rain plan, I am forever grateful. Her level of organization, professionalism, and empathy are just a few of the things that make Lea so wonderful. She made me feel at ease, and truly felt like a friend! I recommend Lea to every bride in the Lowcountry area, you won’t find anyone better!

An Angel from Above

LM events planned and coordinated my wedding in Ohio and Lea made the process an absolute dream. I couldn’t have imagined the planning process or day of without her. From Georgia, she coordinated with vendors and myself for the year leading up to the wedding.
She came into town the day before the wedding and made sure things happened perfectly. There were multiple hiccups the day of and as the bride, I had no clue at all. She made sure my day was beautiful and as care free and fun as possible. I couldn’t recommend her services enough!

The Best Wedding Planning Decision We Made

Working with Lea and LM Events was one of the best decisions we made during our wedding planning process. From the very beginning, Lea was organized, communicative, calm, and incredibly thoughtful with every detail. Planning a large wedding can feel like juggling champagne glasses during an earthquake, but Lea made the entire process feel seamless and enjoyable.

Our wedding weekend at the JW Marriott Plant Riverside District was executed beautifully. Lea and her team were prepared, professional, and always one step ahead. Every vendor knew exactly where to be, timelines ran smoothly, and any small hiccups behind the scenes were handled without us ever feeling stressed. Most importantly, Lea allowed us to actually enjoy our wedding day instead of managing logistics ourselves.

What stood out most was how genuinely invested Lea was in our experience. She took the time to understand our vision, priorities, and family dynamics, and it showed in every interaction. Her team was warm, attentive, and incredibly capable throughout the entire weekend.

Our guests, bridal party, and vendors all commented on how organized and well-run everything felt. We truly felt supported from start to finish and could not imagine our wedding day without LM Events leading the way.

We would wholeheartedly recommend Lea and LM Events to any couple looking for a planner who is professional, experienced, creative, and deeply dedicated to making wedding days feel effortless and unforgettable.

Lea is the BEST!!

Lea was literally my hero. I booked with her on recommendation from our photographer, Ashly McCoy, and I am so, so glad we did. First, she was booked for a two week coordination package, but we were in touch the entire time - she was so patient answering my questions, following up for me, getting details together, finding out different packages or deals, and letting me know how this all is supposed to work. We were also planning from across the state, and she was so flexible about meeting dates and phone calls. She's so bright and lively and just an absolute joy to work with.

When we had issues with schedules or other vendors (whether major or minor) she was quick to chase down the right people and get it fixed for my wife and I. It was also deeply important to me to work with LGBTQ friendly vendors, and she was an ultra supportive part of our wedding. I feel like if Lea and her team had not been there day-of, we would not have had as wonderful or a day. Thank you so much, LM Coordination, for helping us start off on the best foot possible! I loved working with you!!!

Lea and her team at LM Event Coordination + Planning are the BEST!!

Working with Lea and her team at LM Coordination and planning was an absolute pleasure! Their meticulous attention to detail and seamless coordination ensured that everything flowed smoothly on our brides. From the initial planning stages to the final moments of the celebration, Lea demonstrated exceptional professionalism and a genuine passion for creating unforgettable experiences. Their ability to anticipate needs and handle every aspect with grace made our job as hair and makeup artists so much easier. The entire day went off without a hitch, and it’s clear that Lea's expertise was a key factor in the success of the event. I highly recommend LM Event Coordination + Planning to anyone looking for a planner who combines creativity, organization, and a personal touch to make every wedding truly special.

Fantastic!

Lea was amazing. Without her there by my side, I would have been a wreck. She had everything handled, even things I had not thought of. It was like having a friend there that you knew had your back. Thanks Lena!

Incredible service, on the ball, all around best decision we made for our wedding day

Lea was an absolute joy to work with. The level of service was amazing. I didn’t have to worry about a single thing on my wedding day. Lea was the perfect amount of present on the wedding day while also hustling behind the scenes. She constantly checked in on us and guests and even was running to grab drinks for folks to make sure everyone stayed happy. The biggest compliment I got about our wedding was how smooth everything went and I 100% attribute that to Lea and team. Like seriously nothing went wrong. Truly amazing! Thanks so much Lea for making our dream day a reality 🤍 we will be shouting your name from the rooftops to all our friends who are getting married.

Amazing Planner and Coordinator

Lea exceeded my expectations as a month-of coordinator for my wedding. Despite not having a full planning package, she played a crucial role in creating a seamless timeline and executing the wedding day flawlessly. From the pre-wedding walk-through to the 12-hour wedding day, Lea demonstrated exceptional dedication and skill. She served as the quarterback, ensuring I was where I needed to be at every moment, from the first look to the final exit. Lea's attention to detail extended to distributing tips to vendors and ensuring contractual obligations were met. Even though I wasn't a full-service client, Lea promptly addressed any questions I had during the planning process. If you want someone to execute your wedding flawlessly, Lea is the person to trust.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
