As mother of the bride having Ashley to take care of so many small detail was fabulous but the amount of things she brought to our attention made for an incredibly smooth event - Highly recommend her.

I met with many planners before I met with Lauren and the planner Ashley Nordahl. I knew as soon as I met them they were at the level of professionalism and comfort I was looking for. Ashley was amazing. Ashley was very caring and it was almost as if she was a good friend from the start to end. She was very attentive to myself, my parents and my in laws. I would recommend The creative Touch, Events by Lauren to all my friends, more specifically ask for Ashley ;)

Working with Lauren was such a wonderful experience! She was an incredible guide throughout the wedding planning process. She recommended great vendors, and was so helpful in discussing different options and making decisions. She was able to really understand our vision for the wedding and make it a reality. The day of the wedding I felt completely relaxed because I knew we were in such good hands with Lauren and her team. Above all, Lauren is fun, genuine, down to earth, and kind. We absolutely loved working with her!

Lauren was great. She was very good and helping us hone in on what we really wanted and then making that happen. She also helped set parameters as to what was customary, reasonable, over the top, etc. Always a pleasure to work with.

Lauren was the best I could have hoped for. Everything about my day was flawless thanks to her! She did a great job helping me create the vision of my wedding that I wanted, and through the process I was so impressed at how well she just "got me". She was great with the vendors, great with the wedding party, and great with the guests. Best of all, I did not have to worry about a thing the day of the wedding. She was on it. She really knows how to do weddings. If you are looking for a planner for your big day. Look no further. I'd recommend her to anyone. She was worth every penny!!

Lauren and her staff from The Creative Touch were wonderful to work with. Lauren walked us through every step of the planning process for an entire year, and the end result was a beautiful wedding and a Mr. and Mrs. who are well on their way to a "happily ever after!"

CTE was hands-down the best investment we made for our wedding! Lauren and her team are efficient, responsive, ad proactive. Lauren is attentive to your needs and advocates for you when other vendors may not be pulling their weight. It made my life easier for sure! My husband and I loved being guests at our own wedding, never having to worry about the coordination or timing of any events that night. Lauren was there to lead the way with her complete professionalism and sweet personality. She will always be held dear in my heart for the perfect day she planned for us.

Lauren was awesome! She was always available when we needed her and had such great suggestions. The best part was that she helped me figure out, as a bride, what I really wanted for my wedding - and then she made it happen! Most importantly, she was so attentive to me on my wedding day. If I had a question about timing or even needed help re-bustling my dress - she did it all! I would highly recommend Lauren and Creative Touch for any and all wedding planning needs!

Deciding to work with Lauren was the best wedding-related decision I made. I have so many positive things to say about her that I don't even know where to begin. First, she is an absolute pleasure to be around, and made every meeting and interaction fun. It was also clear that vendors who had already worked her enjoyed working with her. Lauren took the time to understand how we envisioned the wedding unfolding and made sure that that vision was realized. She stepped in when we got overwhelmed, and was flexible and understanding when we made last-minute changes. On the day of the wedding, my (now) husband and I felt like we could just enjoy the day while Lauren ensured that everything ran smoothly.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
