We have so many great things to say about Luna Designs and Lauren. She gave us the time and attention to get an understanding of what we were expecting, which probably wasn't easy. We weren't sure what we wanted. It all came together beautifully. She did an excellent job, especially for handling two ADHD adults who were in the middle of a move! Our event was small, intimate, and untraditional, but I believe she can handle anything.

Lauren's communication was clear. We knew what to expect throughout the planning process and on the day of the event. She was especially key as we do not live in Santa Fe, where our event was. Lauren had great vendor recommendations, knowledge of the area, and resources on hand. She made it easy, and we enjoyed our day (and the rest of the long weekend) with no stress.

We continue to receive compliments on the wedding as well!

The biggest thing we were looking for in a planner was someone who could manage supporting some questionable visions with being frank about what their wealth of experience had shown, and Lauren aced this. For example, when I wanted to thrift plates (thank you TikTok...) Lauren warned that we might find just the cost and time of sourcing them to be prohibitive, let alone thinking about collecting and cleaning them at the end of the night (we spent about a month doing some market research on this and it ended up being very true). However, Lauren had knowledge of vendors who could effortlessly match that vision lined up. Her niche vendor connections was invaluable, including the following: vintage "found" style plates; vegetarian catering that actually tasted good; a venue that both felt remote and was easy to get to.... We loved Lauren's ability to distil our vague visions and make the seeming impossibilities happen. We also really appreciated the different levels of package Lauren offered, which made it easy to decide what level of involvement we wanted (and provided unmatched value compared to the other planners we interviewed). We had her middle package, which included some vendor selection and design steering in the months leading up, as well as on-site coordination. Her ability to work with our vision and create something cohesive was really impressive, since we didn't exactly make things easy for her (eg: no florals). It also never felt like she was pushing for more budget, and always felt like she was finding options that provided good value. Communication was fabulous, and helped us stay on track. We also really appreciated Lauren's ability to handle personalities and crises day-of: she's wise, determined, and not afraid to play the bad guy if you want it. The only reason we are giving Lauren 5 stars is because we cannot give her more.

It was really great to have Lauren in our corner to help us coordinate. As a groom I am less knowledgeable and opinionated about some of the aspects of wedding planning and design such as colors schemes, flowers, and other design items, so it was great for my fiancé to have Lauren to brainstorm, design and execute these types of things. Lauren catered her services to meet our needs and she has surpassed our expectations. With Lauren my fiancé has a right-hand woman to guide her through wedding planning and meets the needs and interests that I as a groom could not meet in the same way that Lauren can. 10/10 would recommend for a couple and same recommendation would go for a groom.

Lauren was so great to work with. From day 1, she listened to what my vision was and helped me to execute it to perfection. I had no worries on my wedding day when she was by my side. I appreciate you Lauren from the bottom of my heart. Thank you for helping and being part of my big day. :)

Lauren was such a great wedding planner! She guided me through every step and met with me on extra occasions to make sure I felt comfortable with everything. Day of wedding, she made sure everything went smoothly and came up with quick solutions to any issues that arose. I would 100% recommend her to anyone :)
