    Wedding Weekend - Sept 2024

    I cannot say enough amazing things about working with Apricity Event Co for our September 2024 wedding weekend in Montauk, NY!! From start to finish, our planner Carly was so lovely to work with, and I'm endlessly grateful to her, Rachel, and the whole team for making our special day so seamless and unforgettable.

    Carly's organizational skills are unparalleled (coming from a Type-A planner myself!) - no detail was overlooked and she truly brought our vision to life. She took the time to listen to every idea I had and helped me explore them in creative ways, ensuring every element was cohesive, while carefully monitoring budget along the way.

    What I loved most was how she made the entire planning process feel stress-free, so we could actually enjoy and focus on this exciting stage of our lives. Carly kept everything on track and was always there with a calm, positive energy that made even the most chaotic moments feel manageable. Any hiccups were handled with grace and she always had a clear solution ready.

    Thanks to Apricity Event Co, our wedding weekend was such a dream! We can't wait to relive the memories for years to come, and miss working with them already!!

    The BEST EVER! You won't be disappointed.

    Rachel and her team were top notch - if I had 20 daughters I'd use Apricity for every single wedding!!!! No stone was left unturned; no detail overlooked; the timing for all the events was spot on. They were incredible to work with!!!

    Amazing experience working with Apricity Event Co

    We worked with Rachel and her team (Carly and Chandler) on our rehearsal dinner at Goosefeather in Tarrytown, NY and our wedding at Blue Hill at Stone Barns in August 2024. It was the wedding of our dreams and would not have been possible without outstanding, tireless work from Apricity. We relied heavily on their expertise and recommendations for the various vendors (band, flowers, photographers, officiants, etc.) which were all exceptional. The Apricity team really took their time to understand the vision for our wedding and came back with multiple recommendations at various price points and provided invaluable advice.

    What really stood out was Apricity’s professionalism and attention to detail. With such a large wedding (200+), there was so much coordination and planning that was needed and Apricity was there every step of the way. Rachel did a great job keeping us on track with the various deadlines by scheduling consistent check in calls and she was always available if we needed to discuss something urgently.

    On the wedding day, the entire Apricity team was so organized and helpful getting us and our guests where we needed to be when we needed to be there (as the Groom, this was especially needed for me!). The entire wedding was flawless and spectacular and we are still getting positive feedback from our guests. We couldn’t recommend Apricity Event Co enough for your special day!!

    You are the luckiest bride and groom if you get to work with Apricity!

    It’s taken us some time to be able to write this review because there are no words that can do Beryl and Charlotte justice. From the moment we met them, we knew we had to work with them. They are warm, calming, organized, but also so creative, and so much fun.

    And while we want to go on and on about the actual event (which was actually 4 days of events!!!), We would be remiss if we didn’t first highlight the MONTHS leading up to it. Beryl, Charlotte, and us emailed almost every single day. They were attentive, detail-oriented, PATIENT with us as we went through 10 iterations of floral arrangements, and most importantly they understood our vision better than we even did.

    The actual events were beyond our wildest dreams. Beryl and Charlotte understood us as a couple, our taste, our friends, our family. When we walked into our dinner room for the first time, I broke down in tears - I had struggled so much with seeing the vision on paper - but Beryl and Charlotte put together something that was better than I ever thought was possible (they both have impeccable design skills, but they also just understand people’s vision so well.)

    Their attention to detail, their ability to keep us on track (down to the very minute) was something to marvel at. We never once even thought about the time, or the logistics, or really anything other than enjoying each other’s and our guest’s company, because we had so much trust in them as a team.

    We are so unbelievably lucky to have gotten the chance to work with them on the most important weekend of our lives. Every single detail was perfect and every one of our guests said it was the best wedding they had ever been to. There are no words to ever properly thank you, Beryl and Charlotte, but THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts.

    Wedding at Capelongue

    As parents of the bride, we give Beryl and Charlotte of Apricity the highest of recommendations. They were, simply, the best we could have hoped for in making our wedding event perfect. Our event was a complicated, four-day affair that needed hands-on expertise, planning and guidance, long before the event took place, and particularly during the days leading up to the wedding. Beryl was a calming presence throughout, and you knew she was in charge of everything - and certainly was able to easily anticipate our needs, and nimble at finding solutions when any problems cropped up. She worked seamlessly with the various vendors - hotel staff, chefs, musicians, drivers - and you could tell that she had the highest respect from all of the vendors as well. Both Beryl and Charlotte were always available to us, and helped with even the most mundane tasks. They wanted to ensure that none of the headaches of the event became ours.

    We were also impressed that Beryl was sensitive to any cost changes during the wedding and reception that might result in higher costs than were anticipated, and was very discrete in letting us know what they were, and including us in decisions on how to handle them.

    We would hope that anyone looking for a great partner in planning their event would consider Apricity. Just the best.

    Made my wedding day!

    I have previously worked in events within the luxury fashion industry, and I can say with absolute certainty that there is no one better at managing an event than Beryl and Charlotte. Their level of foresight and intuition was extraordinary—they anticipated my every need, even those I hadn’t thought of myself. Their professionalism was flawless, their attention to detail impeccable, and their ability to keep everything running perfectly on time—down to the minute—was beyond impressive. From the very start, they made me feel like family, bringing a warmth and personal touch that made the entire experience unforgettable.

    As a bride who had dreamed of her wedding since childhood and spent over two and a half years meticulously planning every detail, I was without question one of the most Type A, detail-oriented, and opinionated brides you can imagine. Yet, at every single step, Beryl and Charlotte exceeded my wildest expectations. They blew me away, from steaming my outfits as soon as I arrived in Paris to seamlessly coordinating food orders and personally putting together and delivering the welcome bags. Their thoughtfulness and care were unparalleled.

    Coordinating 100 guests for all three events in Paris and at the stunning Château Villette, 45 minutes outside of Paris, on our wedding day, was a monumental task, yet they made it feel effortless and magical. Every moment was executed to perfection, and the memories they helped create are beyond words. I truly cannot recommend them highly enough. Having had the misfortune of starting with a planner who didn’t work out, bringing Beryl on board was, without a doubt, the single greatest decision I made throughout the entire process. I cannot express how deeply grateful I am for her and Charlotte.

    If I could hire them a hundred times over, I would, without hesitation. They turned my dream wedding into a reality, and I can only hope to have the opportunity to work with them again in the future. They are, quite simply, the best in the business, and I will forever be in awe of their talent, dedication, and the magic they bring to every event.

    Incredible team

    We couldn’t be happier with the exceptional service provided by Rachel and her team. From start to finish, they made our wedding day absolutely unforgettable. Rachel, in particular, was an absolute joy to work with—her easy-going nature and attention to detail made the entire planning process a breeze. She connected us with fantastic vendors, always giving us plenty of options to choose from, and was there to answer every single question we had along the way.


    On the day of the wedding, Rachel ensured everything ran smoothly and stayed on schedule. Even when things ran a little behind, she made sure everything was perfect, allowing us to fully enjoy our special day without any stress. We cannot thank Rachel and her team enough for making our wedding day truly incredible. We couldn’t have asked for a better team to bring our vision to life!

    Absolutely the best wedding planners out there!

    We worked with Apricity (previously Loli) for the vision we had for our wedding since late 2019 (pre-Covid). With the pandemic and a baby, we had to postpone our wedding three times and it took us over 5 years to finally have our wedding in the French alps this past June. Pretty much every vendor and venue had to be reconsidered multiple times across the years as we were planning for a whole week of wedding events and adventure activities for our guests - we even had to change our ceremony location 3 weeks before the wedding due to the unusually lengthy rainy spring season this year. Given the unpredictable nature of mountain top weddings, we worked with the Apricity team to prepare Plan B for every major outdoor event in case of rain, which I'm glad we did because we ended up resorting to Plan B for one of the key events. Beryl was our lead planner from Apricity and we are forever grateful for her positive attitude and calm demeanor through various challenges and crisis moments we came across. She was focused on finding solutions and didn't give up until we found an option that was not only workable, but that we were satisfied with. Her team searched for various venue/vendor options relentlessly and we wouldn't have been able to design our dream wedding week without their persistence and dedication to help bring our vision to life. We had 80 adults and 30 children at the wedding flying in from all over the world (US, Asia, Europe) - so it wasn't the easiest wedding to plan. But Beryl and her team at Apricity helped make our wedding week in Megève as magical as we hoped it to be - we can't praise them enough!

    Organized and artistic planner that does it all

    We worked with Rachel (primarily) and Carly on our rehearsal dinner at Misi in Williamsburg and our wedding at Blue Hill at Stone Barns upstate New York in June 2024. I am a very picky person when it comes to the aesthetics and quality (of anything really), and I also wanted my wedding to be unique even though Blue Hill is a pretty well known wedding venue. I wanted the flowers to look natural and organic, I wanted my band to be able to perform every single genre of music, I wanted my stationary to be so elegant and memorable.. I was definitely demanding in my own way, but I had no stress during my wedding planning process and wedding weekend because of the help I received.

    I think Rachel’s team at Apricity went above and beyond to achieve my vision is a massive understatement. They really treat their clients’ weddings as their own. Even though I thought that I considered every single little thing about my rehearsal dinner and wedding, Rachel reminded me of things I would never have otherwise thought about. She meticulously helped me choosing the right vendors that fits my standard and offered me genuine advice while I was uncertain, not to mention she is vouched for by so many wonderful artists and vendors in the industry which made the selecting process so much easier.

    Rachel is extremely responsive, forward thinking, and responsible. Whenever I compared my notes with my friends who were also planning a wedding, I bragged so much about Rachel and her team while they ranted to me about their terrible experiences with their planners. The sharp contrast made me realize how lucky I was to have found Rachel and Apricity. Our wedding weekend was everything that we dreamed of - ethereal, fresh, and elegant. We will cherish this memory forever.

    absolute BEST planners, no notes

    We are at a loss for words that will do Carly and her team justice - they not only brought our dream wedding to life, but also were a joy to work with along the way! The planning process was manageable thanks to Carly, and the wedding weekend itself was an absolute breeze with her team onsite with us making sure my husband and I could focus on what mattered most: each other! We're beyond grateful to have collaborated with such seasoned professionals who interpreted every idea we had to have for our big day, and executed them to perfection. We're biased, but even our guests commented on how flawless our wedding was so TLDR: hire Apricity and thank us later :) hands down best decision (next to marrying my husband)

    Amazing experience!

    Amazing experience with Apricity Event Co (we worked with them when they were still Loli Events)! My wife and I enlisted Loli to be our “month-of” wedding planner, and we could not be happier with their professionalism, knowledge and services. When we started working with Loli, specifically Carly, we had our venue and a few vendors selected, but were overwhelmed by the seemingly endless “little things” that actually required a lot more attention that we ever imagined. Almost immediately we knew hiring Loli was the best thing we did in the whole wedding planning process. Carly created a customized to do list and timeline for us to stay on track, coordinated with our vendors to make sure what we wanted was what we were getting, walked though our venue with us to provide design ideas, and most importantly, asked the questions we didn’t even know to ask. Overall, we felt at ease that every angle of our wedding had been thought about carefully, and all of our vendors were on the same page for the big day. When our wedding day finally arrived Carly and her team operated at the same high-level as during the planning process. They kept the whole day on track, making sure people were where they were supposed to be when they were supposed to be there, ensuring all of the vendors were doing what they were supposed to be doing and generally keeping the wedding day running smoothly. Most importantly, my wife and I didn’t have to worry about a thing other than each other. We could not recommend Loli (and Carly) enough, and would encourage anyone looking for a planner to consider Loli for their wedding. Thank you again for everything!!!

    Our Dream Wedding

    My husband (Arun) and I worked with Apricity Event Co. (when it was still Loli events) to plan a multi-day wedding celebration. On top of planning 3 consecutive days of events, we also asked Rachel to execute on a very non-traditional “new American” style wedding that honored our American and Indian family. The events were not only beautiful and perfectly executed but also fun and memorable. My husband and I would recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a smart and thoughtful planner to help create a meaningful event.

    Rachel and her team are absolute SWANS: Calm and controlled above water but they put in serious work underwater. Arun and I felt like we were in great hands throughout the entire planning process and especially on the days of our events. With Rachel, Carly, & team we never felt any judgment if we brought up a new idea or ran into an issue. Rachel graciously guided us if we had difficulty making a decision during the planning process and was incredibly patient with us both. We were continually updated on where we were tracking against budget and the vendors we were put in contact with were super professional. Our wedding weekend felt like a magical fairytale in large part due to the work Rachel and her team put into every last detail.

    Beryl made our dreams come true!

    Beryl at Loli Events in Paris is truly the best! Our original plans in Canada were cancelled due to Covid, so we had to pivot last minute and landed on our favorite city, Paris. We met Beryl and could tell right away we would be in good hands. Beryl was absolutely incredible - she planned our entire wedding and welcome party in just 6 weeks. She is so kind and her attention to detail is impeccable. I sent her a few visual ideas and translated my ideas better than I could have ever hoped for or imagined. Even with the quick planning turnaround, there was not a moment I was stressed with her support. She recommended the best vendors and venues to fit our style, and there is no way we could have done any of this planning without her. From the sunset cruise, to the flowers, to violinists, to the DJ, to the ceremony setup, the photographer and videographers, all of it was perfect! I could thank her forever for making our wedding week the most magical and happiest days yet!

    10/10 Would Recommend for Destination Wedding

    We got married in a tiny town in the south of France. Neither of us had ever been to the location or the venue we chose. We got so lucky in finding Beryl and her team at Loli events. We had an amazing meeting with her and outlined everything we’d hope to have at our wedding. Her first stop was to check out our venue for us since we live in California. She took videos and pictures to show us where we’d be getting married/staying. We were very grateful and relieved that we picked a nice place! Beryl helped us plan and check everything off our to do list in a matter of months. We were so impressed by all of her planning and communication leading up to the event which helped relieve any stress. The day of was seamless! She helped coordinate getting a rabbi come from Spain via train to marry us and helped us choose quality vendors including florals, cake and the vintage car we rented for photos! We can’t say enough good things about Beryl and Loli. We would do it all over again if we could. Thank you Beryl from the bottom of our hearts. Forever one of the best day of our lives!

    Near-zero stress wedding planning

    Having Rachel and Carly on our side felt like a cheat code. While friends were planning their weddings and griping about vendors that were hard to work with, unresponsive hotel managers, and budgets getting out of control, my wife Lisa and I kept looking at each other and wondered if we were missing something. Truthfully, Rachel & Carly were just so incredibly organized, experienced, and generally calming presences that we enjoyed every minute of our wedding planning process. We also ended up with a wedding that felt both incredibly personal to us but also a notch above anything that was on our mood board - we owe that to Rachel & Carly's impeccable taste.

    A few highlights of the process for us:

    1/ The tastings we went on were some of our most memorable date nights. Delicious food (because of course, Rachel knew the best vendors in town), great conversation with Rachel, and the one we went with nailed the late night burgers for our guest that folks talked about weeks after.

    2/ When we wanted to come up with a fun way to acknowledge our wedding date being on April Fool's Day, Rachel didn't laugh in our faces but found an outstanding magicians who paid tribute to the day without making the whole affair tacky. He did a short trick with us in front of all our guests that ended with a momento we still have from the night.

    3/ Choosing furniture and fun fix-ins was a breeze with Carly and Rachel. We upgraded to really elegant bars in a few choice locations but stayed within our budget overall. Carly even spend nights chasing down a wayward 3am email from me asking if there was any way to install arcade games in a part of the venue (of course she found several vendors, but days later I'd already realized it was a bad idea).

    4. Our day-of was magical, effortless, and really really special. When the weather turned out unseasonably warm and sunny, Carly led a last-minute pivot to bring a bunch of cocktail hour tables outdoors so we could use the space before thunderstorms a couple of hours later.

    We couldn't be more thankful and would WHOLEHEARTEDLY recommend Loli Events to any bride & groom to be who want to ensure they enjoy the process as much as the outcome when it comes to their wedding. Rachel's calming demeanor, her obvious experience and connections, and her high bar for quality let us make decisions quickly, calmly, and confidently, and we couldn't be more thrilled with how our wedding turned out. Can't wait to get their help again for our vow renewals in 30 years.

    If anyone has questions before booking Loli, please send us a note and we're happy to share more about our experience: virajandlisa(at)gmail.com

    You too can be a Lovely, Low-Stress Bride

    While I'd like to think the best decision I made leading up to my wedding was choosing my husband, I think both he and I would agree that the wisest thing I did before the Big Day itself was partnering with Rachel & Loli Events! It was the best investment I made (okay, the dress, but second to the dress is Rachel) and she was 120% worth it!

    I was referred to Rachel by a friend who had a wedding at Blue Hill at Stone Barns the year before - he has exacting standards and impeccable taste, so the fact that he had been so thrilled with her and her team's services made me very interested. In our first meeting, Rachel's calm demeanor and "seen it all" confidence made me feel so much less anxious (I was planning a wedding in 6 months, so it all felt like A LOT) and I knew with this woman by my side, we could get it done. While I'm sure doing the full wedding planning experience would have been amazing, our budget meant the Day of Coordination was our option - even with the lower scope, I always felt supported by her and her team. Her recommended vendor list was incredible and the venue was beyond thrilled to hear she would be there - her reputation proceeds her in the industry and her professionalism, thoroughness, and thoughtfulness makes it easy to see why!

    There is a lot to say about how she helped during the process, but one thing I will always remember is having someone with her experience remind me we don't *have* to do every element of a traditional wedding - it gave my husband and I permission to actually pick the pieces that were important to us and ditch the stuff that didn't matter (for us, parent dances, gift bags, too many toasts, etc).

    On the day of my wedding, I wasn't stressed - even though we were having a tropical storm in New York City! I was able to be present, excited, happy, and even taste the food - because Rachel and her team had truly every minute on lock. Many friends and family joke that they had assumed I'd be at least 15 minutes late (I'm ALWAYS behind schedule), but not on Rachel's watch! Her entire team was lovely and their solutions-oriented attitude and positivity was clearly appreciated by the entire vendor team. I can't recommend Rachel and her team enough - my vision came to life perfectly, but even more importantly, I was able to be present and savor every second of it!

    Love Rachel!

    Rachel's calm and collected demeanor instilled confidence from the very first call. She worked with us to develop our vision for the wedding day and then executed on that vision flawlessly. She introduced us to and then coordinated with spectacular vendors. I felt so at ease on the day of because I knew Rachel was on top of every moving part. I cannot imagine planning my wedding with anyone more patient, kind, and communicative. Our heartfelt gratitude to Rachel and the entire Loli team ❤️

    Loli Events is the Best!

    We worked with Loli Events for our wedding this past September and it was one of the best decisions that we made! Carly is amazing and helped calm all of the stress leading up to day. On the wedding day I was really able to just relax and enjoy, truly be in the moment with family and friends! She was so flexible and accommodating and helpful along with the whole Loli crew (shoutout to Chandler for helping solve a last minute dilemma with my dress!) Thank you again so much!

    Praise for the Loli Team

    One of the most important decision we made was to hire Loli Events as our day of wedding planner. “Day of” certainly does not cover all that Carly and the Loli team did to help us coordinate the many aspects of our New York City wedding. Carly was invaluable in guiding us in particular in choosing the number, size and placement of tables for our reception and also, in the complicated transportation logistics of the day. Carly communicated with all our vendors and created a detailed timeline that made moving through our wedding day a stress-free joy. Carly has a positivity and confidence about her whether she is steaming a bridesmaid gown or meeting with venue staff. All in all, we are so very grateful for Carly and the Loli team for their multi-talented professionalism.

    The perfect combo of calming energy but the most thorough / organized

    Rachel was truly the perfect planner for us. Her energy and organization made us not worry about a thing all weekend. Leading up to the wedding she was such an amazing sounding board on budgets, the best vendors and really creative and beautiful ideas. She is by far the best planner I’ve interacted with after being in 20+ weddings over the years

    Wedding Planner

    We used Loli events and Carly was our planner. She was amazing in every way. Helpful courteous endlessly patient. She was able to take care of everything seamlessly and just allow us to have a wonderful time. When there were a few issues (rain,Nyc transportation) she quickly improvised solutions and we didn’t miss a beat.
    She stayed with us through the entire wedding and after party, helping us cheerfully along the way.
    Catherine and Delaney her assistants were amazing too!
    Highly recommend!

    Best planners bar none

    My husband and I found Loli Events through attending a friend's wedding in Provence that was beautifully planned by Coralie and their Europe-based team, so four years later when we were planning our own wedding, we were delighted to discover that Loli also had a New York presence.

    As someone who is very attuned to details, I'm forever indebted to Rachel and her team for flawlessly executing my vision for our wedding. Her professionalism and poise allowed us to be present in the moment and fully enjoy the weekend. What I was most impressed by was Rachel's ability to preempt and proactively address issues. Our venue was a full-service restaurant that was open until just a few hours before our event and Rachel masterfully facilitated a seamless transition. She knows when to press and which battles to fight, and we are forever grateful for her guidance. We highly recommend Loli Events for all couples looking for a planner without reservation.

    Rachel & The Loli Team Are The Best.

    Rachel & the Loli team are the best. My wife and I had an amazing experience working with Rachel for our wedding at the Rainbow Room in NYC this past February (2023). She is calm, cool, collected, and will get things done with minimal input from you so that you can enjoy your wedding & the planning process instead of having it become a stress or a chore. Overall, you want somebody who’s both organized and enjoyable to work with. Rachel is that person. I've never been to another wedding that went as smoothly as ours. Our day was perfect. You're in good hands.

    A Flawless Wedding Day!

    We cannot say enough good things about Rachel and her team! Rachel made the entire wedding planning process easy and enjoyable. She has amazing communication skills - always responding to our emails promptly - and all of the vendors we worked with echoed how much they enjoy working with her. Our wedding day was flawless and above-and-beyond what we expected, and we have no doubt that it is due to Rachel!

    Expertly Planned By Rachel at Loli

    Rachel helped us to plan a flawless and fabulous event in a raw space. This was a big project and we couldn’t have done it without her! She instantly grasped our style and vision to recommended excellent, professional vendors, helped us ask the right questions, and coordinated all of the logistics down to the tiniest details so that we didn’t have to worry about a single thing but having fun on our wedding day. Rachel is exceedingly calm, cool, collected and even at the height of covid helped us manage all of the uncertainty to pull of a safe, stunning, and memorable wedding celebration! Her expert team coordinated everything seamlessly, we could not have been more thrilled (and relaxed!) when the big day arrived!

    Such a great experience!

    Rachel and the entire on-site Loli Events team were truly a gift to have pre-wedding and on our actual wedding day. Leading up to the day of, Rachel was extremely responsive, well organized and provided excellent vendor recommendations. She went above and beyond with meeting us leading up to the event and ensuring we were on track. We went into the day confident and reassured that everything we had planned for would be taken care of, and Rachel and team surely delivered. Rachel and team were exactly where they needed to be and kept us all on track. The day couldn't have gone any smoother and we have Rachel to thank for that. With so many logistics and emotions packed into one day, we will always look back and remember what an amazing job Loli Events did and how they were such huge contributors to the success of our wedding day!!!

    Coralie & Her Team at Loli were INCREDIBLE!!

    Coralie Pratts was incredible, there are not enough words to share how amazing they were. Her and the team were worth every penny and more! If you are even considering hiring her, do it! It was the best decision of my wedding (outside of marrying my husband!!)

    She made every decision easy, was available constantly even though we were working on different time zones, I was on NYC and she was in Paris and we were turning around a small elopement wedding in Paris during COVID (August 2021) planned within 4 months!!!

    Coralie helped find the most amazing vendors, negotiated with them and helped me design my dream wedding. She went ABOVE AND BEYOND everyday!!!

    Day of was a breeze because she had everything taken care of it and thoughtfully organized. I didn't need to think about ANYTHING! It allowed me to enjoy my day with my family and took away all of the stress.

    If you have any questions please reach out because I cannot say enough great things!

    Priceless Collaboration

    As a MOB our experience with Rachael, Rachel and Loli Events team was exceptional. The event was magical and stress free! From the first call our daughter had with Rachael, she felt a sense of calm and reassurance.
    Communication was clear and timely. The recommendations provided were stellar as was the day of wedding implementation. The preparational atmosphere was calm throughout the day. There was a detailed timeline for everyone involved and it ran like clockwork. Any request was met with an accommodating attitude, utmost professionalism. We never once questioned if any detail was overlooked. Loli Events provided us the priceless gift of being present in the moment and experiencing nothing but pure joy! DM

    I know even if you love your chosen career, the day of an event can be very stressful. Your team handled the entirety with grace and professionalism. Truly thankful Megan chose Loli to share in our once in a lifetime event!!!

    The absolute BEST!!!!

    Do yourself a favor and book Loli events (Rachel & Brielle) for your wedding!!! Rachel worked with both myself and my sister for our Manhattan weddings over the last couple years. I could not have enjoyed myself nearly as much without them by my side. They are the most organized people I've ever met. They answer emails with questions and concerns quickly and efficiently. They create a minute to minute plan for your wedding day so the bride does not have to worry about ANYTHING! On the day of my yacht wedding, NYC had a TORNADO WARNING and enormous storm. Rachel and Brielle did everything in their power to make sure everything went off without a hitch and IT WAS PERFECT. I am eternally grateful to Rachel and Brielle for everything!!!!

    Fantastic!

    Rachel was absolutely wonderful to work with. We were on the west coast, planning our east coast wedding when Rachel (and Loli team) stepped in to help us coordinate the month prior. She kept us organized and on track in completing last minute tasks.

    The day of, Rachel was flawless in her execution. We truly don't think the wedding day could have happened without her. We would absolutely recommend Rachel and the Loli team for anyone planning a wedding!

    A Miracle Worker!

    Rachel and the Loli Events team were immensely professional, supportive, and proactive. Despite planning, re-planning, and re-planning again (... thanks, Covid!), Rachel never missed a step. She could anticipate any potential hiccups, offer insightful recommendations, and advocate on our behalf in conversations with our vendors.

    Perhaps most impressively, Rachel was able to keep us relaxed and calm throughout the entire process and on the day-of. She managed to trouble shoot potential issues with ease, coordinate every element perfectly, and - although I can't prove this - ensured that the threat of rain miraculously avoided our outdoor reception.

    We will be eternally grateful for her!

    Loli Events Review

    I would highly recommend Coralie and her team. They were responsive, organized, and well connected with vendors, which was very important for us New Yorkers planning a wedding in Europe. They have multiple years of experience organizing weddings in the South of France specifically and therefore have a slew of reputable vendors that they’ve built strong rapports with. We were happy to share our special day with such great people and felt we could relax since we knew everything we needed would be taken care of. We were very satisfied with the Loli team's efforts.

    Coralie / Loli Events is Above & Beyond!

    We typically grow up with a dream wedding in mind possibly on the shores of Nantucket, in a beautiful NYC cathedral, or a Father of The Bride style backyard wedding. Wedding planning was overwhelming for us without that known place that tugged at our heartstrings. When my husband suggested Paris I laughed and then my feeling quickly turned to fear as I realized he was seriously considering it. His spontaneity and positivity is what I love about him, but this seemed crazy... planning a wedding overseas as if planning a wedding isn’t hard enough?! Looking back I’m so thankful I trusted this once in a lifetime opportunity and went for it! The phrase “Paris is always a good idea” was spot on for us. We look back and there’s no greater memory for the both of us and it gave us and all of our guests a reason to travel as well as fantastic memories they can’t stop reminiscing about. No one will forget a wedding in Paris!

    What we will never forget about our wedding was the experience working with Coralie and team. She listened to all of our wants, needs, ideas, and worries and not only executed but far exceeded our expectations of what was possible. We felt like royalty during our wedding weekend with every small detail thought of. We were able to experience the excitement of each part of the day as if we were guests seeing it for the first time as well.

    Losing our first venue, US to France shipping delays, passport issues, heavy traffic before our rehearsal, rain on our wedding day were all gracefully handled by the Loli Events team. Coralie always brought us back on track and usually it was to an even better path than we had previously planned.

    The partners she brought in for flowers, rentals, music, photography, calligraphy, mixologists, videographer, venue points of contact, hair and makeup, etc. all felt like family and made our weekend so special. So much so that we still remain in touch!

    We recently celebrated our one year anniversary and as we talked through it we realized there wasn’t a single thing we would have changed. We feel so lucky to have partnered with Coralie for our dream wedding and cannot wait to work with not only Loli Events for events to come, but all of our additional partners, now friends, to come.

    The Best Planner

    We could not recommend Rachel Urban and Loli Events more! Our original wedding date was May 22, 2020, however, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we were faced to make the difficult decision of postponing our wedding to July 9, 2021. Leading up to the decision of postponing our wedding the planning process was a breeze. As a Bride, I was able to fully enjoy the process and experienced almost no stress. Rachel is so thoughtful and attentive to detail. Rachel presented us with the most amazing vendors to choose from and was there through every step of the way, even attending suit and wedding dress fittings! My fiance and I always felt at ease with Rachel as our planner. Rachel was able to help postpone our wedding to our new date and secure all of our vendors previously hired with ease and grace. Rachel's thoughtfulness and attention to detail continued to shine when she dropped off goodies to our apartment on our original wedding date (5/22/2020) and coordinated with our DJ to create a playlist for us to celebrate that night. The current pandemic has further highlighted how we made the absolute best decision in hiring Rachel and Loli Events as we know we are in the best of hands. We cannot wait until our vision comes to light on July 9, 2021!!

    Coralie from Loli Events is Outstanding

    Coralie Prats from Loli Events planned and executed our wedding this past year in Paris. To say that we exceeded expectations is an understatement; Coralie and the Loli team knocked it out of the park! Coralie’s professionalism, diligence, patience, calmness, and kindness set her apart — she made sure every event during our wedding weekend (there were 3 major events!) went on without a hitch and did so with a smile glued on her face the whole time.

    The best partner for our wedding

    Coralie at Loli events and others on the team were indispensable throughout the entire wedding process. To say they went above and beyond is an understatement. From the start, they had great vendor recommendations, ideas, and never hesitated to do more research when we needed. Coralie really listened to what we wanted at every step and even made sure to travel to be with us in person and make sure she understood all of our needs in context of the venue. During the actual wedding weekend, we had a few last minute issues because of weather, and Coralie and her assistant were quick to find solutions and make sure we had no stress. We've never seen anyone work as hard as they did while still being positive and smiling the entire time. We enjoyed our wedding 100x more because they were there.

    Amazing! Exceeded all our expectations

    We worked with Coralie from Loli Events on our wedding in Normandy who we could not recommend highly enough. Our wedding was no easy task as we were putting together a 140-person wedding in a countryside Chateau that has never held large events before. She was a joy to work with and an incredibly capable planner. She helped us put together our dream wedding which came together so smoothly & beautiful. We were blown away by the quality of vendors she put together who all did a terrific job on the day. This was a direct reflection of all the hard work she put in, her skill and experience. She thought of everything and was always on top of it. We felt completely confident in her throughout the whole process and safe to say my husband and I both miss chatting to her during our weekly check-ins! Hiring Coralie to plan our wedding was the best decision we made and we cannot thank her enough for helping us pull off such an incredible weekend of events for our wedding.

    You're in great hands with Loli.

    I could not recommend Rachel and Loli Events more highly.

    I generally worry about being on top of every logistical detail, and Rachel was SO on top of it, that she made me feel completely relaxed for my entire wedding weekend. Rachel was always 2 steps ahead of me -- whenever I asked her for something, she had already taken care of it. And when there was a slight hiccup with another vendor, she completely solved it before it became an issue and only looped me in once she had the perfect solution.

    All of our guests were blown away by the execution of every last detail, and this was all thanks to Rachel and the Loli crew.

    When I signed on to have Loli plan our wedding, I wasn't totally sure what I would be getting out of it. After the fact, I can say that I (and my husband and our families!) got total peace of mind and calm for the entire weekend, which allowed us to have a better weekend than we ever could have hoped for.

    Most Outstanding Wedding Planner!

    Rachel Urban and the Loli team are a must have for any wedding, and particularly in New York. Rachel led our entire wedding planner, was there at the beginning and was the reason our wedding went flawlessly. She is absolutely outstanding with a calm demeanor that helps manage through all the decisions and is critically important the day of the event. Every vendor and all the decisions that we made, Rachel helped us through, and she was right every step of the way. The Loli team on site the day of the wedding was professional, calm and critically important as they created an environment where everything ran smoothly. Choosing Loli and Rachel as our wedding planner was the most important decision we made, and the reason we celebrated with no stress. Rachel Urban is a star and we cannot thank her enough for creating a memorial day that will last with us forever.

    Rachel Urban & her team at Loli Events were lifesavers!

    Rachel Urban & her team at Loli Events were lifesavers! We could not have had a better person and firm help us plan and execute our dream wedding weekend at Cedar Lakes Estate, which was jam packed and would have been chaotic without her. Even though we paid for wedding weekend-only planning, she was super helpful and informative in the months and weeks leading up to the wedding and helped us through some key decisions. She also took the lead in coordinating with all of our vendors and making sure our entire day was seamless and we didn't have a thing to worry about. It is priceless to not have to worry about anything on your wedding day! We had a lot of moving parts to our wedding weekend and Rachel was always one step ahead of the game, making sure each detail was in the right place at the right time. As a bride, you have a lot of anxiety and concerns that something could go wrong and Rachel put me quickly at ease that she could handle each and every aspect. From the start, Rachel responded quickly and efficiently to all my emails and never let a detail slip through the cracks. On the day, she was professional, friendly, organized and key to a successful wedding. I am beyond happy with how my entire wedding weekend went! Highly recommend Rachel to help plan and execute your wedding - you will NOT regret it!!!

    Lindsey Loves Loli!

    Rachel at Loli Events was a dream. We met with her early one morning and immediately decided to hire her and we are SO glad we did. She met us at the venue multiple times, including the church, walked through everything and listened to all my thoughts/concerns/worries about the way the day we could go. We wanted to have a brunch wedding which posed some interesting questions and she helped with it all. More importantly, when the day finally arrived, she handled everything so that it was just perfectly smooth. All I had to do was enjoy the day - and that is what you want! Thank you Rachel!! Xx

    Best wedding planner in NYC

    Lauren and the Loli Events team is amazing! We had such a great experience working with them for our wedding this past September in New York. Lauren went above and beyond her “day of” responsibilities; meeting with us on multiple occasions, sending daily email communications, liaising with all the vendors, and coordinating a timeline capturing all ceremony logistics. She was so responsive and gave us the peace of mind and confidence that everything was going to run smoothly. She truly was a lifesaver and I can honestly say the days up until our wedding and the day itself would not have been as amazing and everything we dreamed of if it weren’t for Lauren and her team. Hiring Lauren was the best decision I made, as it immediately changed my wedding planning experience which had previously been very stressful. She has impeccable taste, is very dependable, and genuinely a really nice person. Lauren came and picked up our day of items from our apartment and then dropped them off in the early hours of the morning to ensure everything was safe and sound. She even made a small sign at the last minute that we had forgotten to include. We couldn't have been happier with Lauren and her team’s professionalism! I highly recommend you hire Lauren and the Loli Events team if you're looking for an amazing planner to take the stress out of wedding planning! They’re an absolute pleasure to work with. Thank you, Lauren!

    Our wedding was August 31 of this year in NYC and Lauren from Loli Events helped us realize everything we hoped for. The deal I struck with my wife is I would take the reviews for our wedding vendors if she would take on 3/4 of the thank you notes, so this review is coming from a groom's perspective. Perhaps the best way to convey how satisfied we were with Lauren was watching my wife's stress levels with respect to the wedding virtually melt away when we decided to hire Lauren about 3 months before the wedding. While we officially hired Lauren as a "day-of" planner, she was so much more than that. Lauren liaised with all the vendors, kept a schedule, coordinated ceremony logistics ... Virtually everything but actually performing the ceremony. Obviously everyone's style and aesthetic is unique, but we found Lauren's matched perfectly with ours, and I would be willing to bet a vast sum of money that she accommodates other styles just as effortlessly.

    Lauren was so far beyond a mere "day-of" planner. We went from weekly stress and worry about wedding chronology to virtual serenity and confidence that our wedding would be everything we dreamed. And it was. Lauren deserves an almost impossible amount of credit for this and the words/review here won't due it justice. She was (and is) a true professional in every sense of the word. We cannot recommend Lauren enough as both a person and a planner. It is rare to find people in the industry who truly care about the couple and not just their checkbook. Lauren is one of these rare finds, and helped us create our dream wedding. Thank you, Lauren.

    Lauren is an amazing wedding planner. I am extremely particular about everything being done perfectly and efficiently - very anal (likely a consequence of working in the financial sector!) and fired 2 other wedding planners before I found Lauren. Hiring Lauren was the best decision I made, as it immediately changed my wedding planning experience which had previously been the worst nightmare. Lauren is extremely responsive (I don't think there was a single time she did not respond within 24 hours, it was usually within a couple hours), she has impeccable taste (she was one of the few people whose advice I could always rely on), is very dependable (you know nothing will fall through - she thinks of every little detail), and genuinely a really nice person (she was extremely nice to my entire family no matter what they asked for on the wedding day). I would highly recommend her to anyone - she is certainly not the cheapest planner, but take it from someone who has been through the cheapest planners and gone to hell and back, she is worth every penny.

    Lauren and her team are THE BEST! They are detail-oriented, helpful, super responsive...just a joy to work with. I worked with Loli Events for the month of my wedding, and it has been stress-free since because Lauren handled everything for me, and everything went so smoothly the day of our wedding. We had such a blast...thanks to Loli!

    Our wedding this past September was truly a dream come true! We owe this, in large part, to the Loli Events team for making it a smooth, seamless, and stress-free event. The owner of Loli Events, Lauren Sozmen deserves a very special “Thank You”. Lauren took on the intimidating task of planning our large Indian wedding while we were living remotely. She reassured us from day one that her primary goal was to give us the wedding that we were dreaming of, no matter the distance. She did not disappoint! It takes a very talented and organized woman to capture the fantasy of total strangers and materialize it into a stunning, unforgettable day. As a matter of fact, we had interviewed with a few other planners and no one was able to deliver with the same grace and confidence that Lauren did. She was an absolute pleasure to work with and she’s become a good friend of ours in the process. We would especially like to encourage any couples looking for a unique wedding experience to seriously consider working with Lauren. We give her and her team our highest recommendation.

    My husband and I both agree that the best decision we made was hiring Lauren from Loli Events. Our wedding was in Brooklyn however we live across the country so we really depended on Lauren to help guide us. She was organized, had smart ideas and was incredibly easy to work with beforehand as well as the day of. When it rained on our wedding day, we had to move the ceremony indoors and Lauren calmly put her plan B into action. Everything came together seamlessly. I don't know what we would have done without her!

    We got engaged in December of 2010 and decided to get married in October 2011. We knew we needed a wedding planner and started looking around. After interviewing several people and companies on the phone, we knew there was something special about Lauren at Loli Events. She immediately calmed our nerves and had great answers to all our questions. After meeting her in person we knew that Loli Events was the right company to help plan our big day.

    Lauren is extremely organized and very responsive. Her attention to detail is very impressive. Whenever we had a question or needed to get in touch with her, she was eager to respond and help. She has a great roster of vetted vendors and everyone that works with her loves her. She is excellent at negotiating prices and services. Our wedding was in a huge beautiful (but empty) barn in Rhinebeck, NY. It had no bathrooms, water, electric, lighting or any other amenities that a standard venue would have. Lauren took on the task of transforming this vacant space head on. She was always positive, optimistic and found the perfect people for the job. She helped us think through our vision and came up with great ideas for the space as well.

    Lauren is not only motivated and helpful when it comes to planning- she and her team did a fabulous job with the day-of coordination. They created a timeline and comfortably kept everyone to it. The ceremony and reception was perfect and all the vendors worked seamlessly together because of Loli Events.

    Overall, what we liked best about Lauren is that she is fun, responsible and has a great attitude. Her “no problem, can do!” spirit is complimented by her excellent taste and natural sophistication. Lauren gave us so much of her time and attention we felt like we were the only wedding she was managing. We don’t know what we would have done without her, Lauren is just amazing. We are so lucky to have had her as our planner and we cannot recommend her highly enough!!

    When I first met Lauren I was instantly excited to work with her and that excitement lasted throughout the rest of the planning. I had met with a few other planners but she was the first one who I felt really listened to what I had envisioned and would be able to carry that through. And she did, my wedding was flawless and gorgeous...people are still talking about it.

    I was in law school and in a different state while planning my wedding. Lauren scheduled every vendor appointment and did so in a way that made excellent use of time. Every single one of my vendors loved her and because of that they all went above and beyond. But just because they loved her didn't mean Lauren wasn't ready to speak up in order to make sure I was getting exactly what I wanted.

    The best part about working with Lauren was waking up on the day of my wedding without a worry or care in the world because I knew she had taken care of everything. All I had to do was get dressed and was able to really enjoy the morning with my mom and bridesmaids. That was priceless.

    I was hesitant about getting a wedding planner, since I wasn't working, but was talked into hiring one. I found the NY Wedding Magazine and I contacted a huge company and Loli Events (only because of the simple, clean ad of a woman and her dog). With 2 emails back and forth I signed the contract (without even talking to Lauren).

    And I must say it was the best advice I got to hire a wedding planner and I couldn't have asked for anyone better. She was incredibly professional about everything, she would contact me immediately if she needed me and when she could take care of things without bothering me she did. We even had an extended late night and she was about the last to leave to make sure everything ran smoothly.

    I think Loli Events is the best boutique planning company if you need any help in planning (as I'm sure she'd be great for any event). And with the smaller company you're not just a number but a name and I consider her a friend now. I can't recommend anyone more strongly as I do as Loli Events. Thank you for everything Lauren.

    Lauren is FANTASTIC! She really lives up to simple, elegant and unique. She managed to coordinate our DREAM wedding in a highly professional, relaxed and stress-free manner. She has great taste, vendor selection and is extremely responsive. She pays attention to all details big and small. Best thing we did was to hire her!

    Loli Events was ever professional, a great sounding board, uber-responsive (including answering 7AM day of emails from me), and a voice of reason throughout the wedding planning process. You want Lauren around 9-12 months out when you're picking vendors (you'll make better decisions with her help), as the day approaches (she's amazing with details - big and small), and the day of (your head will be clear to just be getting married and not worry about everything else...otherwise you will). Lauren is simply a pleasure to work with. She'll cater to any of your ideas, help you filter ideas, and get into the concept of making your day unique with you. We live in Los Angeles, got married around NYC, and thus we had to figure out any and all ways to meet, communicate, etc. Lauren was up for it all. Most of us don't plan events, let alone weddings, as our day job, but we want to do it perfectly and ideally once. Thus, you want Loli Events as your partner. Your wedding will be better for it, so will your stress levels, and likely your budget too. I highly recommend Loli Events. If there is a word bigger and better than highly, then I would use that one. I couldn't have gotten married without it's planning service! Thank you SO much.

    5 stars are not enough! Insert bonus star here. Overall rating: infinity/5.0. We hired loli events for our outdoor wedding this July, and it was BY FAR the best decision we made in planning our wedding. I am a big do- it-your-selfer, and put off hiring a planner for a long time. As the wedding neared and my to do list grew out of control, I was overwhelmed and realized I needed help. We meet with Lauren and explained the look and feel of our wedding, and she got it right away. We hired her for the day of the event, and I can't say how valuable her services were. My husband and I both say our wedding wouldn't have happened without her, and it is true. She pulled through and made every detail happen, working extremely hard in the hot sun, and somehow she made it look effortless and easy, without a negative word ever coming out of her mouth, EVER, and believe me, if she had, it would have been justified. We really put her to the test, and she was amazing. She handled any situation that got thrown at her with a smile on her face, looking cool as a cucumber and adorable, to boot! she is so positive and gracious. Professional, hard working, detail oriented, and just a joy to be around. Our wedding was amazing. AMAZING. And loli events was a huge part of that. I can't say enough how blessed we were to have loli events be a part of the best day of our lives. ♥♥♥

    I hired Lauren to help plan my wedding for June 2011 and I am SO glad I did. With Lauren's help my husband and I got to enjoy wedding planning, rather than stressing over it. Our wedding day was amazing. Our family and friends loved it and we got to enjoy the day because we were confident that Lauren was taking care of everything. She helped us find young, fresh vendors and organized all the details for the day into an amazingly comprehensive time line. Lauren is also very responsive to emails and calls and always got back to us quickly. Best of all, she is sweet, funny and a joy to work with!

    I hired loli events as my wedding planner for my wedding this past May, and cannot say enough positive things about the owner, Lauren Sozmen. From my first meeting with Lauren to discuss big picture aspects of the wedding, I felt comfortable, confident and supported. Lauren’s sweetness, professionalism, personal style, and calmness all helped to flawlessly pull the day together. She directed me to vendors that I wouldn’t have otherwise known about, and who I was happy about working with.

    Throughout year leading up to my wedding, I repeatedly had to ask Lauren “Who’s better than you?!” I highly recommend loli events.

    Lauren from Loli Events was a pleasure to work with and everything I could have hoped for in a wedding planner. I hired her for day-of services when I realized I needed additional help leading up to the wedding and on the day-of and I am so glad that I did. Lauren goes above and beyond in helping out with many aspects of the wedding and she is responsive, resourceful and professional every step of the way. She took the stress out of my wedding day, not only for me and my husband but also for our families. She kept the day running smoothly with a very detailed timeline but above all her calm, friendly, and pleasant demeanor helped to put everyone at ease. Thank you Lauren!

    We hired Loli Events for Full Service wedding planning but Lauren offered us more then we ever expected. In my opinion, the most important quality in a wedding planner is their ability to make complicated situations disappear. We are an African-American couple and Lauren's first hurdle was to impress my mother. My mother is traditional and demanding. Lauren handled my mother like a pro. She knew exactly how to deal with her concerns and sometimes impossible personality. My mother and I really enjoyed the wedding planning process. Lauren is solely responsible for making the impossible possible.

    I was in Los Angeles and Lauren was in NY with my family. Fulfilling most of my requests from a distance. I had a very challenging schedule and Lauren made miracles happen on many occasions but never allowed me to worry or feel guilty. Trust me, having a stress free wedding is a gift and a privilege many brides will never experience. Even when we hit some bumps in the road she handled each situation with grace and compassion. In retrospect, I couldn't imagine entrusting anyone else with our special day. Lauren always kept an open mind, supported all of our choices, and her timeline was flawless. She advised us on everything from our obscure trolley request to our appearance in Town & Country magazine. Nothing is too big or small for Loli Events and she does it with an amazing amount of class. Our wedding was elegant yet traditional. It reflected our individual tastes while incorporating our cultural traditions and family values. Lauren's passion and dedication to excellence is contagious.

    Above all, she made my husband feel comfortable and for this alone I am forever indebted to Lauren. It is very easy for everyone to forget that it is the grooms day too. My other half is an extremely private person but he really opened up and allowed himself to have an amazing time. Lauren Sozmen is a very special woman and the incomparable Loli Events is in a class by itself.

    Best Wishes,

    Mrs. Simmons

    Lauren Sozmen of Loli Events is nothing short of incredible. I got married in May of 2011 in Manhattan (where I used to live), but halfway through our engagement my husband got an unexpected job opportunity in San Francisco and we decided to move! I had no idea I'd be planning a wedding from across the country and was a bit stressed, but was so thrilled to find Lauren. Although I only hired her as a day-of coordinator, she behaved as a full-time wedding planner and went above and beyond in every regard. She made herself available to me many months in advance of the wedding at all hours of the day, and discovered the most amazing vendors of those I had yet to choose. She saved me a ton of money as well!

    On the day of the wedding I was a nervous wreck, but Lauren arrived on the scene with her in-depth timeline and took care of everything. Somehow she was everywhere at the same time, and the entire event flowed seamlessly from start to finish. If there were any problems at any point, I certainly didn't know about them, which is the mark of a fabulous planner!

    Lauren hasn't been in the business for very long, but you would think she'd been doing this for 20 years. Her professionalism, creativity and fun loving personality made her a joy to work with and I would recommend her to any bride who wants to feel stress-free throughout the wedding planning process, or who just wants a bit of help coordinating the big day. I feel like I've gained a great new friend too!

    Lauren was a dream from the start. She was so responsive and helped me feel completely comfortable and confident in our big event.
    In the planning phase her knowledge of great vendors made our selection process much smoother... She connected us to a fabulous caterer, an amazing DJ, a great florist etc. All within the budget that I had outlined at the start. Also, she answered any questions I had very quickly (often instantly).
    Once it came time for the party Lauren was great. She was at the location way before all of us, checking to make sure everything was in order. When the toilets broke during the party, she handled it all with great calm and redirected guests to other restrooms in the building. She even helped with making sure that all of my out of town family got home to their hotels safely and easily. I didn't have to worry about anything. I just got to enjoy the party.
    And beyond all of this, Lauren was a great pleasure to work with. She understood my busy schedule and was very flexible. She also helped calm me down when things were getting a bit overwhelming. She is fantastic.

    Lauren brings great professionalism, motivation, attention to detail and love to her work. I was so grateful to have had her help and I would hire her again in a second.

    Where to begin?! Lauren of Loli Events is EVERYTHING you could ever hope to find in a wedding planner/coordinator. She is organized, kind, tasteful, attentive, extremely professional, and absolutely adorable. She will make your wedding or event go smoothly so that you can celebrate without worry and will do so with grace and humor. She worked with us as our day-of coordinator, and I was able to enjoy my wedding without obsessing over all of the little details. I wish I could throw myself another wedding so I could work with her again! I cannot recommend her highly enough.

    I cannot say enough good words about Lauren and loli events! I had planned to go through with planning my wedding completely on my own, but realized as the wedding date neared there was no way to do this (and have a stress-free wedding day) without a day-of-coordinator. I found loli events through Wedding Wire about six weeks before my wedding and met with Lauren soon after. I immediately felt relief of wedding anxiety upon meeting her. There are countless great things about working with her, but I would say her astute attention to detail, listening skills, trustworthiness and can-do attitude were what convinced my husband and me that she was "the one." Lauren understands that, in addition to the big things, it’s the little details on your wedding day that make a huge difference. She will listen to your needs and note the details, she will remember them, and she will act upon them. She is also incredibly flexible, which is vital. Plus she will be a second voice (or first) to your vendors. Communicating with my vendors was a bit exhausting at times, but Lauren stepped in to assist and lead some of these communications with ease and success. I also had quite a bit of decor, and Lauren reviewed every little detail with me in advance to understand exactly how my husband and I wanted the cocktail hour/reception to look and feel. Ultimately, I 100% believe that our wedding day was so incredibly amazing because my husband and I were able to entrust the “running of the show” to Lauren. We did not have to worry – everything was planned in advance -- and we had an amazing wedding planner in the driver’s seat on the big day. Trust me, Lauren/loli events is METICULOUS and will not leave even the most critical of brides disappointed!

    Lauren was great. I had done a lot of the initial wedding planning but in the last 2 months, found that I really needed some extra support. She was wonderful to work with and really made me feel at ease. My sister told me later that Lauren was amazing on the day-of and really helped to make everything run smoothly, working in sync with our venue, band, photographer, etc. I highly recommend her.

    I cannot begin to say what an invaluable role Lauren of Loli Events played in my wedding being an amazing success! From start to finish Lauren focused in on the details, was able to constantly keep on top of the overall big picture and never missed a beat!

    Our wedding of 150 guests involved a lot of planning as most guests were from out of town. I consider myself a great planner and i had a very clear vision of what i was looking for and how i was going to do it and i still firmly believe i would have NEVER been able to have it all come together as well without Lauren's expert help! There's no getting around the fact that on your big day you cant possibly be everywhere yet somehow Lauren was! I swear she must secretly have a clone :) From getting us to and from the pictures, the church, organizing the bridal party, booking the rehersal meal, and handling a myriad of last minute emergencies and fix-its I couldnt have had a better wedding planner.
    Lauren is pleasant and fun to work with yet also a savy businesswoman when you need things handled. She is quick to respond, efficient in the tasks she sets out to achieve and always available. The clearest way I can emphasise how amazing she really is is by the shear number of guests and family who came up to me at the reception and afterwards telling me how great my wedding planner was!! She impressed me by going above and beyond what I even thought possible and made my day the absolute best.

    My mom offered to gift my husband and I "day of wedding planning" services to ensure we both ENJOYED our big day. We met Lauren from Loli Events back in February - our wedding was this past September. From the interview she was AMAZING! She was exactly what we were looking for both professionally and professionally - objective, creative and ascertive without being pushy. Both my (now) husband and I were sold on her services from the onset.

    We were sensitive to finding someone who was approachable and friendly but could still ensure our ideas and vision were executed by the vendors. Lauren was prompt and professional in both her responses with to us as well as in her correspondence with our vendors. At the wedding she took care of EVERYTHING with little to no 'supervision' from the guests of honor. She exercised sound judgment when it was required and quickly diffused what could have become larger issues on the day of.

    Two and a half weeks before our wedding my mother unexpectedly fell ill and I was even more worried about the day of than I was before this. I made Lauren aware and it was as if she picked up the load of worry I had on my shoulders and back took care of it all. She checked in on me every so often to make sure my focus was on mom's recovery and reassured me that everything was covered and would be beautiful on the day of the wedding - she was RIGHT! Our wedding day was absolutely beautiful - even more than either one of us could have imagined and for this we have Loli Events to thank!

    For someone who began the wedding planning process not at all thinking she'd need one or have reason for one, I couldn't imagine my day without LOLI Events. They were front and center without literally being front and center. During our contracted time with Lauren we always felt like we had her undivided attention adn that the success of our wedding was as important to her as it was to us. If you are looking for a wam, professional, ascertive seasoned professional - give LOLI EVENTS a call. You won't regret it.

    Lauren Sozmen of Loli Events was the absolute best wedding planner I could have asked for.

    I could sing her praises for pages and pages but here are 3 areas in which she shined:

    1) Resources - Lauren's network is fantastic. I planned my NYC wedding from the west coast so I leaned on her heavily for vendor selection and boy did she deliver. She listened to my vision and made introductions that were spot on with what I was looking for. She found my florist, my hair and makeup person, my music, my celebrant, my photographer and more. They were all fantastic and the time she saved me in finding them eliminated any long distance stress.
    2) Organization - I wish I could attach the timeline document Lauren compiled for the wedding. It was 6 pages long and included in clear, precise detail exactly what was going to happen and when. It was just one example of how I knew she had everything covered which allowed me, my guy, my family and my bridal party to relax and enjoy the ride without sweating the small stuff. The day went off flawlessly, and it was all thanks to Lauren.
    3) Personality - Let's be honest, if you're working with a wedding planner for a year you want to like them, right? Well you will LOVE Lauren. She is happy, friendly, positive, classy, professional, responsive, diplomatic, even keeled and flat-out lovely. She will be as excited about your wedding as you are. She has a can-do attitude about everything - if you want to have swans dressed in tuxedos as your ring bearers, she'll find a way to do it! When problems come up, and they will, she'll make it all be ok. Her favorite word is 'amazing' and she'll say it to you a lot with complete sincerity. In reality, it's Lauren who is amazing.

    Bottom line...you cannot make a better choice in wedding planners than Lauren Sozmen of Loli Events.

    I can see how our wedding might have been a planning nightmare for someone else. I have a family of experienced hospitality professionals who all had determined ideas about what should happen when and how. Lauren has this sweet, open nature that allows her to charm anyone within a ten-mile radius. My family fell for her right away. But don't be fooled, when you need someone to go to bat for you (especially with an iffy vendor) Lauren is a shark. I particularly appreciated her efficiency and buoyancy when I was exhausted from a solid year of planning, surrounded by chaotic excitement and unable to be as graceful as I would have liked. Lauren was my superhero. Other careers that might be good for Lauren: High School Guidance Counselor, Miss America, President of the United States and/or Head of the CIA.

    Lauren was absolutely spectacular from end-to-end! We cant thank her enough! Leading up to our wedding day she was extemely flexible to meet our difficult schedules. She went over and above to make sure that all details were covered and to our liking. She is extremely intuitive and maintains a "can do, will do" attitude - and always with a pleasant smile. On our wedding day, she worked extremely hard to make sure all went beautifly. She is an ideal choice for anyone that is lucky enough to choose her for their wedding!

    We highly recommend Loli Events and Lauren Sozmen as a wedding coordinator! Lauren is extremely professional, warm, and caring. All of the people that we worked with spoke very highly of her and made sure that we knew how helpful, kind, and courteous she was throughout the event. It is obvious throughout the entire planning process that she loves what she does and goes the extra mile to make your dreams a reality.

    On the day of the wedding, Lauren worked her magic and made the day go very smoothly. She was invaluable maintaining the flow of all of the many intricate details that we had planned, and avoiding any crisis (including the hanging votive candles almost setting our curly willow branch center pieces on fire�crisis successfully averted thanks to Lauren!) It was extremely comforting to know that she was right there!

    In addition, all of her recommendations for vendors went above and beyond our expectations.

    Best wishes and happy planning!

    Karin and Matt
