    Excellent!

    I can't rave about Rena and Luis enough! We clicked with Rena from our first phone call and we're so glad we stuck with her! We live in Washington but chose to get married in St. Pete where most of our family and friends live. We knew planning an out of state wedding would be stressful and a month of coordinator was a must. I will tell you they are worth their weight in gold! After a Covid postponement and our 2nd date being right after the Omicron wave, we had enough stress to deal with. Rena and Luis seriously are probably the only reason we made it through! They seriously kicked ass on our day, we had literally NOTHING go wrong logistically. They were also so sweet and accommodating through the whole experience. We felt like they were our friends by the end of it.

    I can't say enough good things! Hire them!!!

    I have had the pleasure to work with Event Lab numerous times over the past few years- and their work is nothing short of spectacular. Whether it be a private party or wedding, their events are second to none. Being in the industry, it is refreshing to see an event planning company execute at the caliber they do. Rena is the type of planner that truly does work hard for her clients to bring their vision together - and demands perfection from her vendors to execute. HIGHLY RECOMMEND !

    Total perfection

    We were lucky to have Rena and her team help us plan the wedding of our dreams in 2019. I had spoken to a couple of planners prior but after our first consultation we knew we knew we wanted to work with Rena - she has an amazing ability to be thoughtful, organized and completely on it while making you feel calm, heard, and never rushed. Our day came together more beautifully than I ever could have imagined, went so smoothly, and the reception styling completely blew our socks off! We had so many compliments and felt so taken care of. It allowed us to be totally in the moment have the most amazing time with our friends and family. I am so grateful for all of Event Lab's hard work and we absolutely loved working with them. Thank you!!!

    My dream wedding!!

    Hiring Event Lab No. 1 was the best decision we made when we got engaged! Rena was an absolute pleasure to work with! Talk about AMAZING…. Seriously! She brought my dream wedding to life. We got married in Riviera Maya, Mexico just recently (April 12) and I was terrified of the challenges I would to face with attempting to plan a destination wedding.

    I started working with Rena about a year before the wedding. She helped me so much… from picking the venue, going to the site visit, picking the photographer, ordering favors, invites, favor tag, communicating with the coordinator at the resort (which was a pain) … the list goes on! I am so thankful to Rena for everything she did to help us get ready for the big day! She was there for us every step of the way!

    Rena has such a passion for what she does, and it really shows. Watching her work is so inspiring and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better wedding planner! I wish I had something else to plan so I could hire her again! Haha She is hands down, the BEST! We HIGHLY recommend Event Lab!!

    Perfection

    Event Lab No.1 is for anyone who is planning an event who doesn't want to deal with the stress of the actual planning process. Rena and team allowed me to be as involved or not involved as I wanted to be in each step of planning. For example, in planning my wedding I wanted nothing to do with "paper". Event Lab No.1 stepped in and designed amazing invitations and a seating chart to DIE for! I will drop the mic here... not only did my wedding start on time but the WHOLE WEDDING PARTY was ready EARLY!!!

    Dream beach wedding!

    Hiring Event Lab was hands down the BEST decision we could have made once we got engaged. As soon as we met with Rena, we knew we were dealing with an absolute professional. She was there for us every step of the way, and paired us with the most incredible vendors to make our day perfect.

    Rena was able to transform our inarticulate ramblings about our stylistic vision into the most beautiful day of our lives. I had zero stress on the wedding day, because I was confident that Rena had every little detail handled. She enabled me to truly relax (which is NOT easy for me!) and cherish each moment of the wedding weekend.

    Our family and friends are STILL raving about how beautiful everything was - and we owe it all to Rena's expertise. Not only is she great at what she does, but she is a joy to be around. I miss planning with her already, and cannot wait to recommend her to everyone I know!

    Thank you, Rena, from the bottom of our hearts, for the best day of our lives. We are eternally grateful!

    Amazing wedding experience!

    Honestly, we were a little lost at the beginning of the wedding planning process but deciding to work with them was the best decision we made. Luis and Rena were so great to work with. I would say we were lucky that everything went without a hitch but really I think it was because Luis was so great and made sure our wedding was perfect in every way. We couldn't thank them enough for helping us create such a special day for us and for our closest family and friends. We couldn't have done it without them.

    We highly recommend Rena!

    I am the owner & operator of Edifying Beats Entertainment (a mobile DJ service out of South Florida. We recently had the opportunity & pleasure to have worked with Rena for a wedding in Islamorada. Both Ceremony & Reception were outdoors just feet away from the beach. All of the decor was amazing & Rena was on top of every last detail from the moment we arrived to set up until we packed up the last of our equipment. We highly recommend Rena/Event Lab!

    Best decision hiring Rena!

    Rena was our wedding coordinator for our destination wedding in the Florida Keys and was AMAZING. From the first time we spoke, she had my vision down to a T. Hiring Rena to be there on our wedding day was a no-brainer! She was always so attentive to our wants and very detail oriented, which was so helpful with planning & making my vision a reality. She thought of everything, and I had zero stress on my wedding day because I knew she had it all covered! From my centerpieces, to organizing family members, to clean up, every detail of the day was handled from start to finish. She is SO easy to work with, and really goes above and beyond for you on your wedding day to make sure everything is perfect. I can't say enough good things about her!

    Beyond perfect

    Our wedding day was beyond perfect thanks to Rena. She provided guidance and support on every aspect that a wedding planner should help with - plus a million other things. I would have forgotten about so many details if it weren't for her expertise. Rena is not only exceptionally detail-oriented and hard-working but also incredibly kindhearted and compassionate. It was an absolute pleasure to work with her. We are so happy and grateful for everything. Thank you!!!!

    Wedding event

    COULDNT HAVE ASKED FOR ANYONE BETTER!! Absolutely love Rena and all she did for my wedding. She pulled it together in 3 weeks, took all the stress off of me and my now husband. Amazing soul and beautiful spirit to be around. So thankful for her.

    I had a phenomenal experience with Rena as my planner. Everything came out more perfectly than I could have ever imagined. I'm pretty sure my face walking into the reception says it all.

    When choosing an event planner, we didn't know what to expect. Rena was able to help us take all of our ideas and turn it into a cohesive vision. She took the time to get to know me and my husband, ensuring that we both were able to take part in the planning process.

    She is organized and transparent with constant updates, timelines and reminders. This made the whole planning process stress-free for our families and something we could actually enjoy doing together.

    We never doubted that Rena had our best interest at heart. If something wasn't exactly perfect, Rena took it upon herself to do what she needed to do to fix it. She was also a voice of reason when we had different opinions and needed to make final decisions about flowers, decor, etc. I was also able to be creative with her and she helped me come up with less traditional twists like suspended florals or velvet linens.

    During our wedding I didn't worry at all. Everything I was thinking, Rena had already done. Throughout this whole process she was always on her A-game (always a few steps ahead!), making her the best at what she does. It was an unbelievable feeling being able to just live in the moment the day of our wedding, rather than worrying if certain things were getting done.

    Rena exceeded all of our expectations and was able to turn our vision into a reality. She helped us choose the best vendors and worked endlessly to make sure that we got everything that we wanted and we plan on using her again (and again, and again!)

    Our wedding was straight out of a dream. Having Rena from Event Lab take over the planning for our wedding was the best decision we could have ever made. She ensured everything was organized and efficient (no joke, her details outline was our bible and we were blown away from the first time we saw it at how detailed and organized it was!) and instilled the utmost confidence in us about accomplishing the vision we had for our day. Rena's expertise was invaluable to us. She not only knows the best vendors knows how to bring out the very best in everyone she chooses to include in the mix for your wedding day. Her positive attitude and dedication saved more days than we can count. We feel that crossing paths with Rena and being able to have her as part of our day was meant to be and what truly made the day come together - she was there for us when we needed her, always. Planning a wedding and dealing with family dynamics and so many different opinions and emotions is the hardest thing to navigate we have come to realize but to have the privilege of working with someone who could truly translate our vision with such impeccable grace and professionalism was a blessing. Not only was Rena incredibly thoughtful, hard-working and dedicated during the planning process, she was a star on the day of the wedding. I was able to relax (which is hard for me to do!) and know that everything was taken care of with aplomb! She made sure each and every detail we had discussed was truly met and our expectations were exceeded. Our family and friends were all blown away talking about how beautiful everything was and how magical the wedding day was. Our day truly was more beautiful than we ever could have ever imagined thanks to Rena's hard work, passion, style, and positive attitude. She's simply the best - her company is called Event Lab *No. 1* for a very good reason - it's too true! She is a consummate professional and a true expert in her field - I would recommend her to everyone!

    Event Lab No. 1 is the best decision I made when starting to plan my wedding. Rena made the whole process stress-free. She answered all my calls and emails promptly and was so helpful every step of the way. The best event planners around!
