We were given repeated advice that a day-of (really two months out) coordinator was completely worth it, and a repeated company name that I saw was Riley Loves Lulu. When I looked at photos of weddings Riley Loves Lulu did, I loved their aesthetic and had a good feeling about them. We had a great first call with Lili, and then what really sealed the deal even more was when, during our tasting, we mentioned that we were leaning towards hiring Lili at Riley Loves Lulu and our caterer raved about her.

It was excellent advice! Lili is the sweetest and is super organized and knowledgeable. She provided us with specific planning tools (including a guide that helped us with the ceremony order) that we could use as soon as we booked with her--we booked ~10 months before our wedding, and then once we got close to the wedding we were in regular communication so that she could ask us questions to know and execute our vision in detail. She was also able to answer all sorts of little questions we had like where to rent highchairs and booster seats (through our caterer), offered a gratuity guide for vendors, and helped me finalize our linen order, and suggested a room layout for our venue and guest count (which was a huge relief because we had no idea how to organize the room).

She created a day-of timeline that she communicated to all of our other vendors, and took charge at our rehearsal the day before the wedding wrangling all the people to know what to do, and then took care of everything day of so we could enjoy stress free. Lili moved tables, skillfully set out the decorations (including putting napkin rings that I ordered off Amazon on all the napkins), repurposed flowers from the ceremony to make the dinning room and head table even more beautiful, and even had a sewing kit that saved us when the zipper on one of my bridesmaid's dresses broke. We felt so comfortable and confident knowing that Lili was in charge and it really was the ultimate luxury. Riley Loves Lulu offers tools for everything--timeline, decorations, seating chart with dietary restrictions noted, contact information for important people, suggested check-lists, but are also very flexible if we wanted to modify or use a different tool.

Highly recommend!

We could not be more grateful that we entrusted Jess and Lisa from Riley Loves Lulu with planning our wedding! We could tell from our first call with them that they truly cared about helping our vision come to life, and we loved how they took the time to get to know us. Their warmth and passion for weddings stood out immediately and was so apparent throughout the entire process. They were with us every step of the way - starting with the venue search, they helped us find the absolute perfect venue for us, and then helped us find truly amazing vendors to create a magical day that really felt like "us." They were communicative and flexible and were true partners with us in everything! They were even able to help us source a last-minute shade structure for our outdoor ceremony a WEEK before the wedding when we were concerned with how hot the weather was looking. On wedding weekend, everything went incredibly smoothly, thanks to them. Jess and Lisa are such an amazing, detail-oriented, thoughtful, fun and creative team and my husband, my mom and I (the planning team) are so, so thankful to them. Hiring RLL was the best decision!

The Riley Loves Lulu team did a fantastic job - words that come to mind are organized, thoughtful, understanding, creative, experienced, and fun! I appreciated working with Jess throughout the planning process, and for her and Lisa's thoughts on all the design elements and minutiae associated with wedding planning. On the day of, Jess and Lili were so on top of everything - I was in awe of how the timeline that was created months ago was executed perfectly. Sending much gratitude to the entire team!
