In the weeks leading up to our wedding, I worked closely with Ashley, who was absolutely phenomenal. Her communication was timely, clear, and reassuring every step of the way. She helped us craft our timeline, refine our vision, and think through logistics we never would have considered on our own. Her experience at The Cavalier Hotel was especially valuable, and her recommendations made a huge difference.

Taylor… truly an angel on earth. She ran our rehearsal like an absolute pro while also somehow feeling like she had been part of our family forever. And on the wedding day? She was the moment. The calm. The energy. The glue holding everything together. I’m someone who can run a little high-strung, and I found myself gravitating toward her all day because she was just so grounding, kind, and steady. She made everything feel easy, and that is such a gift on your wedding day.

Lauren was also there on the wedding day ensuring everything went perfectly, and she truly delivered. Any need, any question, any last-minute detail, she handled it all effortlessly.

This powerhouse team of women brought our vision to life in the best way possible. Bold. Eclectic. Fun. Colorful. Completely unique to us. They understood it, elevated it, and executed it flawlessly.

This team has the incredible ability to make you feel taken care of without ever feeling overwhelmed. They have every detail covered, and they genuinely care. I could not recommend them more highly!! 🥂✨🤍🕊️💍

Lauren was amazing for our wedding! She went above and beyond to make our wedding day perfect. She even picked up our flower bouquets on the way so I wasn’t charged extra for delivery since it was over the bridge and I was there since Friday. I had very specific things I wanted done with the tables, the decorations, etc and she made sure that everything was exactly how I wanted it and was always so positive and helpful. I also wanted to change the timeline multiple times and she was very quick to help talk to all the vendors and move things around. At the end of the night when my caterers did not do what they were supposed to do, both of the coordinators made sure everything was cleaned up and put away and that all was finished before they left and we appreciated that so much so it didn't fall on us. I highly suggest Soirees by Lauren for your wedding day-it is a need not a want to have an amazing coordinator!

We had an amazing experience with Soirees by Lauren as our wedding coordinator! Lauren was incredibly responsive, and both she and her assistant, Courtney, were so helpful throughout the entire process. Thanks to their expertise, our wedding day went smoothly from start to finish. They took care of all the decorations and ensured every detail was perfect, allowing us to relax and fully enjoy our day.

My husband and I couldn't be happier with their services, and we highly recommend Soirees by Lauren to any engaged couple. If you’re looking for a stress-free, beautifully organized wedding, you won’t be disappointed!

Ashley Fussell was my month-of coordinator for my wedding at the Chrysler Museum of Art this past June. She and her team were simply incredible. Timely, responsive, calm, and above all, professional. Here are just a few examples of Soirees by Lauren's above-and-beyond work:

1. An hour before the ceremony, the zippers on 2 of my bridesmaids' dresses popped open exposing their undergarments. There was no resetting the track -- they were unzippable. I texted Ashley and within minutes she and her assistant were in the dressing room with a needle and matching thread, sewing my bridesmaids into their gowns -- No problem.

2. During one of the reception speeches, the groomsman tossed all his notecards behind him, scattering them about the dance floor, and Ashley discreetly picked them all up after he was finished. It may sound minor, but to us, this was very professional and kind of her to do to make sure the area stayed pristine and no one slipped on a notecard.

3. Ashley handled EVERY practical issue on the wedding weekend including dispersing all my tips for me, assisting all my family members who brought desserts for our dessert table, keeping track of every item that someone brought that needed to be returned, the wedding parties personal items left in the dressing rooms, and the list goes on. She also packed my car with all the leftover food, cake, desserts, and any other items that were not claimed the night of the wedding while I enjoyed myself right up until the last minute.

4. And of course, Ashley and her team handled all communication with and direction of every one of my vendors on the wedding day, including parking, vendor meals, set up, tear down, timelines, and expectations.

5. Lastly, Ashley was so relaxed and level-headed about all things wedding -- which made a significant impact on the vibe in the dressing rooms & during portraits. I could not imagine working with a coordinator who wasn't as calming or zen.

Because Ashley and her team were SO reliable, SO professional, and SO driven to make my wedding perfect -- I was able to sit back, relax, and actually enjoy my day. No worrying. No wondering where things are. No concerns over vendors understanding the assignment...This is the biggest reason I recommend her to any couple. You won't regret it.

Ashley was so great to work with! I desperately needed a coordinator and Ashley took so much of my stress away leading up to the wedding. She was quick to respond, so knowledgeable, and made sure everything ran so smoothly. It was so nice being able to just enjoy our special day knowing Ashely and Courtney had everything covered. I would definitely recommend!

We can’t say enough about how phenomenal Taylor and her assistant Stacey were. Truly top notch. Communicated well. Had the “day of” down to a science and were constantly there for every little detail. Super pleasant and fun, too. The wedding could not have gone better and they were a large part of it. My wife and I, and the bride and groom, highly recommend them.

Taylor was our day-of coordinator for our wedding, and she was amazing. She responded to all of my texts and emails promptly from the very beginning to the end, and on the day of the wedding, she made sure that everything ran perfectly smoothly. My goal was to not have to worry about anything on that day, and she really helped get me there. She had such positive vibes that really kept me and the rest of the bridal party at ease and having a good time. If you're looking for an affordable, experienced coordinator who will contact all your vendors, plan your timeline, and take care of every tiny detail so you don't have to, this is a great vendor to hire.

Ashely, Taylor, and team thank you all so much everything was amazing! Every detail of my vision came to life and our wedding day coordination was simply amazing. Communication and coordination with vendors and guests went well was great and the overall turnout was awesome. I would highly recommend this company!

Our wedding day was an absolute dream and that was thanks in many part to Ashley!! A big storm was coming through around the time of our wedding and Ashley made sure that we were comfortable with every plan along the way (and with a little of her magic there was no rain!). Ashley has her stuff TOGETHER! Our crowd is a bit rowdy and she kept us all on track for the rehearsal. I can honestly say before looking for a planner/coordinator, we were unsure how much help it would really be especially because I tend to be pretty organized but oh my goodness our day could not have come together without her. Her prices were incredibly reasonable for how much help she gave. We really got to enjoy the days leading up to and the day of our wedding which would not have happened without someone external making sure everything went smoothly! Pretty close to our wedding, we decided we needed to offer shuttles for our guests and Ashley got on it, communicating with my husband’s mom, and the service we used just raved about her. It was really really nice for us that the majority of our vendors have worked with her before, even ones from RVA, and they all love her too! She responds SO quickly and never made me feel like my questions or opinions were unimportant. We found out later that we were the first of a triple header weekend for her and she always made us feel like we had all of her attention. She even bustled my dress in time for our dances. She is a ROCKSTAR! We could not recommend her more! With so much love, Molly and Ben!

Ashley made the most special day of our lives more memorable and enjoyable than we could have possibly imagined. Calm, cool and collected, she ensured that we remained confident and relaxed all day. We can’t thank her enough for her flexibility and kindness. If you’re reading this, please do not make the mistake of choosing anyone else to plan your special day. We write this with forever grateful hearts.
