A must have!

As someone that is very Type-A, I knew I wanted to be really hands on with all of my wedding decisions, but I had absolutely no idea where to start. Lauren was an absolute miracle. We hired her for partial planning, and she helped us develop a timeline, coached us on what to ask for from our vendors, reviewed our contracts and was around whenever we needed her for check ins and questions. She also did all of our day-of coordination and was an absolute dream to work with.

Absolutely cannot recommend her enough - Our wedding was a smashing success and a large part of that is due to Lauren and all of her hard work. Please hire her!

Lauren is amazing!

Lauren is phenomenal! She is thoughtful, organized, creative, and so talented. We could not have had the wedding we dreamed of without her. She took a standard brewery and helped us dress it up in a way that was unrecognizable to the brewery owner and staff without busting our budget. She’s a jack of all trades- she can arrange flowers in such a beautiful way. And, she's an amazing baker!

We hired Lauren before COVID and she easily adapted our vision once COVID caused our plans to change. As a very type A person and bride, I felt at ease knowing Lauren was taking care of everything as our day of coordinator.

Thanks Lauren!

Best Decision You'll Make

Lauren is hands-down one of the best wedding planners in the industry. Do yourself the favor of hiring her for your big day and I can promise you, you won't regret it. Her organization, positive attitude, work ethic, and creative mind is something to be admired. As a bride that hired Lauren before Covid hit, she was there for all the ups and downs we had to deal with when we were finally able to successfully celebrate our day in September 2021. During that time, Lauren was nothing but positive and focused on ensuring that we were going to have the best day of our lives. Lauren was our day of coordinator, but truly went above and beyond. She did so much to make our day special, and also alleviated the stress that came along with wedding planning in the months prior to our big day. She helped me create my vision and adapt it to our venue. She accompanied me to the venue on multiple occasions and advised on the wine and food pairings. Lauren did an amazing job with our welcome bags, and she made our day so much easier because I knew that she was there managing all the vendors and setting up the venue. The table décor and layout was a vision that we created together and she successfully brought it to life. That takes a lot of skill! Lauren also has this uncanny ability to think of things you need before you even know you need it! Without Lauren, we would have been without our champagne flutes and cake cutter! She brought her personal ones from her home just in case. I can't thank her enough for all the effort, time, and creativity that she put into our wedding day and our rehearsal dinner. Lauren really does it all, from wedding prep, organization, vendor recommendations, floral arrangements, and baking (she made our cake!). She is such a talented individual and I'm so glad that we had her there for our big day. Lauren was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding day. I can’t recommend her enough!
