    Incredible

    Rebecca made my wedding absolutely perfect! She somehow captured exactly what I pictured without me realizing. She was there all day and kept everything running smooth, and leading up to the day she had everything under control. I felt more relaxed on my wedding day than I thought was possible. If you are planning a wedding, do yourself a HUGE favor and hire Rebecca!

    Professional, mature & thorough!

    I am so glad I found Sarah A. at La Boum... I struggled finding the right planner when I was searching because I was still figuring out some details and was also looking for someone who had that "auntie" energy. I didn't need everything instagram-able and over the top (even though everything was beautiful!). Sarah helped me narrow everything down, talked me through everything, and was SO organized and polished the whole way through. I don't think I would have been able to do it without her. And I gained a friend through it all!

    La Boum Events's reply:

    Dear Hailey,
    Thank you for your kind words. It was truly a pleasure working with you and helping make your vision come to life. I too feel like I have gained a friend through the process and for that, I am forever grateful. Cheers to a lifetime of happiness for you and Clifton!
    All my best,
    Sarah

    Sarah is beyond amazing!!!

    We had Sarah at La Boum Events as our wedding coordinator for this summer and she was absolutely amazing!! I couldn’t imagine if we didn’t have her and I know I would’ve never survived!! She is in tune with every little detail and has the perfect balance of knowing when to follow the lead and when to take charge I was blown away. I (and our guests!) felt the wedding was as absolutely amazing, went smoothly, and so much fun, and I know it was because of her. The groom and I wouldn’t have ever been able to enjoy as much as we did, without her, either. She went above and beyond our expectations, is an absolute gem to be around, and I wouldn’t hesitate in suggesting her for anyone else’s wedding!!! If you have a chance to use her, don’t hesitate!

    Everything I wanted in a wedding planner!

    Sarah was 20/10 AHHHMAZING. I am so thankful for her help on the day of our wedding day and the days leading up to t. She was always a voice of reason, good advise and the human embodiment of sunshine on our wedding day.

    She truly cared about what my husband and I wanted and took what we had to say to heart. She prioritized our vendors and made sure to organize them so I didn't have to. She worked very closely with my mom who organized a lot of the wedding and guests.

    One of the most important reasons I wanted a wedding planner was to take any stress away from my mom and parents so that they could enjoy the day and she did exactly that.

    Sarah, I am so thankful for you and your help making our day so perfect. AND for following me around all night pinning my dress that everyone at the wedding seemed to step on!

    Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.

    Service Above and Beyond

    Sarah Alborn is an excellent wedding planner/coordinator. She went beyond what was discussed and attended to every detail. Sarah is a true professional, organized and well spoken. Everyone at the venue and all our vendors went out of their way to comment on Sarah’s proficiency. Bravo Sarah! We couldn’t have done it without you.

    An Unforgettable Elopement Thanks to La Boum!

    When my husband and I decided to get married/elope in Alaska (being from Florida) we knew we would need some guidance on tying the knot in a different state. We worked with Laura from the La Boum team and she's the reason we had such a stress-free day and wonderful experience! She coordinated with the vendors (something I was so stressed about doing), answered my numerous questions (because I had NO idea what I was doing) , and even married us! I can look back on that day and honestly say it was our best day ever, in large part to the support, guidance, and organization of Laura and the La Boum team. If you are even slightly considering hiring an elopement coordinator for your big day, whether you live right down the road or are coming all the way from Florida, I would STRONGLY recommend working with La Boum Events for your special day!

    Stellar And Unforgettable

    This was the best possible experience I could have had with a wedding planner for my adventure elopement. From the moment I contacted Rebecca at La Boum Events, she went out of her way to make our special day better than we ever imagined. She listened to my wild and complicated ideas of a beautiful setting somehow brought them all together and staged everything so we could see how it might look. She coordinated with our photographer and added special touches at my request. She even handled the delivery of some special props. I felt so relaxed on our wedding day and I couldn't imagine doing it any other way. She was worth every penny and more!

    Girdwood Elopement

    Our experience working with Rebecca was amazing! From our first consultation she was attentive and excited to share her knowledge with us. La Boum's extensive details on how to elope in a different state were one of the reasons that made our experience so easy! The packages offered were comprehensive and flexible to include exactly what my husband and I were looking for! We felt completely comfortable letting Rebecca and her team handle all of our elopement details. Day of, Rebecca and her assistant were professional and attentive. They let us know that we could remain flexible due to the weather, but everything worked out perfectly for our ceremony in Moose Meadows! Overall, our entire experience was so much more exciting and special than we could have imaged! Thank you Rebecca, and La Boum for helping us create the perfect wedding elopement!

    Best decision we made!

    We decided to look into a wedding planner about 4 months before our wedding. We got married at a venue that has some challenges— like no running water on site. I was overwhelmed by some of the other decisions like table design. We went with the basic planning package, which was perfect because I had already booked a lot of the major vendors. We worked with Laura and she was fabulous! She was extremely responsive and helped us think through all the details. The day of the wedding I didn’t have to worry about anything and just enjoyed it— exactly what you want on your wedding day!

    Best decision ever!!

    As the mother of the bride, I knew I needed help with my daughter's wedding, but didn't even know what to ask for! My dream was for the wedding to go off without a hitch, and that all the key members of the wedding party and family could just relax and enjoy the day. LaBoum was recommended to me and I chose the package that would help with the "day of" coordination. I can say with all sincerity that this was the best decision I made. Laura spent time with my daughter and son-in-law prior to the wedding getting to know them, and the dream they had for their wedding day. She helped coordinate all the tiny details...from the vendors, to the decorations, to who was carrying the rings! Our dream came true. The ceremony and reception were PERFECT! Not one problem. Everyone, including me, relaxed and enjoyed this most blessed event. I am eternally grateful. I will recommend LaBoum, and Laura, to everyone I know.

    La Boum Events's reply:

    Thank you Kathleen for your kind words and we are so thrilled we were able to give you and your daughter a beautiful day.

    Truly one of the most important expenses and LaBoum delivered!!

    About 4 weeks out from our daughters wedding, I realized I truly could not do it all even with 15 relatives willing to help out. Laura Wilson, La Boum’s wedding coordinator immediately called me to
    finalize the details, walk us through rehearsal, and manage the entire wedding day - organizing vendors, communicating with all and making sure everyone knew where they were to be at any given minute.
    I was able to take it ALL in, eat the beautiful buffet, sip the champagne, take photos, dance and most importantly BE THERE to FULLY experience our little girl marrying the love of her life!!
    Without Laura’s attention to detail, tireless organizing, “seeing” things before they happened, and noticing when they shouldn’t be happening, the wedding would not have been the PERFECT day it was. My large family of 15 set up everything the day before so it was just the “day of” management we needed. It was an expense my reluctant husband now sees as a “no brainer” when budgeting for a wedding. La Boum, thank you and to Laura, your steady presence was an absolute blessing.

    Professionally Flawless and Wonderful!

    Lana at La Boum did the most amazing job! Very organized and detail oriented! I am a perfectionist and felt completely at ease with her running the show. You cannot get a better coordinator. Our wedding day went perfectly all due to her efforts. I am beyond impressed with the quality of service....do yourself a favor and hire them to take care of your wedding! You will not regret it :)

    La Boum Events's reply:

    I am so happy to have been able to help you make your dream wedding come true. One of the best parts of my job is getting to meet people like you! It was a pleasure getting to support you on your big day. - Lots of love, Lana

    Couldnt have done it without them


    If you're even remotely thinking about using wedding planning services with LaBoum GO FOR IT! You will NOT be dissapointed, If I could give them 10 stars I would.

    Holy cow what a luxury it was and what special memories we created because of them.

    I cannot say enough wonderful things about Sarah Albourn and Rebecca Kopperud from LaBoum events. When I reached out to Rebecca, who owns LaBoum, she helped me figure out what kind of service would best fit our 150 guest, Palmer, AK wedding planning needs. We decided on the ‘day of coordination’ services and were assigned Sarah Albourn who did nothing short of completely blow us out of the water. She was absolutely incredible from start to finish. We met a few times to talk (at length) about our wedding expectations over coffee and she helped us develop the perfect timeline for our special day.

    Having a wedding planning professional just a text or phone call away was priceless. She helped with so many aspects of our day from the smallest details to the big ‘oh god help me’ moments. She ran our rehearsal the day before the wedding seamlessly and kept us and all of our vendors on track on our wedding day. I legitimately don't know how we could have done it without her. It was so special to not have our closest loved ones running around in circles and instead we could all relax and really enjoy the moment because Sarah had us all taken care of. We legitimately miss her and are so grateful for everything she did to help us have the wedding of our dreams

    I had a vision of what I wanted our wedding celebration to be, but neither the time nor experience needed to make it happen. Laura was amazing at helping me put it all together. Our wedding was very "DIY" and there were so many of details I never would've thought. The Week-Of Coordination services were exactly what I needed to ensure the day happened without any setbacks. Both Rebecca & Laura were very responsive it turned out to be a great party!

    WOW! We absolutely cannot say enough great things about Rebecca and her team at LaBoum events. They delivered a perfect day to us. Rebecca was so great in making sure that everything went smoothly and fixing behind the scenes issues as they came up, unbeknownst to us! We don't know what we would have done if Rebecca and her team were not there on our wedding day, and both agree that purchasing her services was the best decision we made during the planning process.

    Rebecca and her team were extremely hard-working, paid great attention to every decorative detail, and managed all of our vendors on the day of, allowing us to sit back and enjoy ourselves. She also checked in with each of us occasionally throughout the day and seemed to genuinely care about our happiness on our wedding day.

    Thank you, LaBoum Events for giving us a perfect, stress-free, wedding day.

    La Boum was one of the best decisions we made around our wedding planning, hands down. My husband and I decided to have a wedding in Alaska, though we live out of state. We knew we needed to find someone we could trust and depend on to help us plan the wedding from a distance. La Boum was highly recommended and did not disappoint! From my initial conversation with Rebecca, to our work with Laura (who ended up being our coordinator), every t was crossed, i was dotted and every concern or question I had was solved and answered (and I had a lot, trust me!) Laura was patient, informed, calm, helpful, kind, and incredibly generous with her help and time. She listened to us, guided us, and helped us to have the wedding of our dreams. A friend told me that a good wedding coordinator will keep all problems hidden from the couple on their big day, allowing them to float through the day with no concern or worry. That is exactly what Laura did! In fact, she is so good that there weren't any issues because everything was carefully planned and thought out in advance. I would ask for Laura's help again in a heartbeat, and would recommend La Boum to anyone looking for professional, high quality, and AMAZING event planner. Thank you to all of the La Boum team, and especially to Laura!

    Rebecca went above and beyond for our wedding. She made sure my only job on my wedding day was enjoying myself and our guests. She helped me plan everything and guided me in the right direction when I couldn't create my vision alone. I HIGHLY recommend hiring La Boum for any event!!!! - Kala and Jared King

    Rebecca and her team were integral in the success of my wedding day. I couldn't have been happier with how everything came together. Being such a detail oriented person, intricate details were incredibly important to me so having Rebecca present throughout the entire planning process put me at such great ease. I was confident that my wishes, worries and concerns were taken care of, which allowed me to relax and actually enjoy my wedding day. While planning a wedding from Washington, Rebecca made sure the entire process was as easy as possible. She was available and so incredibly helpful with suggestions,advice and arranging meetings while I was in Alaska. I highly, highly recommend booking LaBoum Events for any of your future events. Doing so was best decision I made for my Wedding. I really would have been lost without her!

    My now-husband and I worked with La Boum for wedding week coordinating services. Laura Wilson very ably handled the needs of our wedding day. We appreciated the attentiveness she showed to matters at the ceremony and reception. For example, she made sure that we had a chance for food, drinks, and cake, and brought thing to us (it was a mid-afternoon wedding, so, we had finger foods/ appetizers rather than a plated meal). This attention was helpful, as, being the bridal couple, we might not have had much chance to eat otherwise, what with greeting and thanking our guests and so forth. She also had good advice (ex. when we did our sendoff, with people throwing wildflower seeds, she prepped us that we would be walking into the wind, and to keep our mouths closed... advice for which we were most grateful). These are just a couple of examples of ways that La Boum strove to make our day enjoyable, and to provide attention to our wedding day needs and comfort.

    I also want to say that La Boum provided some really helpful ideas and organizational tools. For example, there was a survey regarding what we were looking for in our wedding. It was detailed, and was definitely helpful in considering aspects of the wedding that might not have otherwise crossed my mind. It was precisely because an event coordination services have this sort of experience and expertise that I was glad to be able to work with La Boum.

    Our thanks to both Rebecca and Laura for their assistance in making it a successful wedding day!

    Absolutely book this vendor if you're looking for a fantastic and committed staff to make your event exactly what you imagined! I loved working with La Boum. Definitely worth every penny! I was blown away by the commitment and the professional attitude shown by Rebbeca and Laura. They were very flexible and legitimately excited to see our ceremony go perfectly. I honestly feel like Rebbeca and Laura bent over backwards to make our ceremony amazing. They worked with us to find the perfect site, they also organized our cake, flowers, officiant, and photographer. Everyone they work with is the best. I can't recommend La Boum enough!!

    Having Laura Wilson as our wedding planner took a lot of stress off of our shoulders. My husband and I were able to enjoy the events leading up to the wedding, rehearsal, rehearsal dinner, and even the day of craziness because we knew someone had all the details handled. Without having Laura orchestra and run the show we would have been pretty lost and definitely spent our big day stressing about minute details. Laura was a pleasure to work with, highly recommend her to any couple planning their wedding in Anchorage or Girdwood.

    Rebecca was amazing to work with. She understood my vision and made amazing recommendations that all turned out beautiful. I had no stress the day of my wedding and everything went smoothly. All of our friends said it was the best wedding they had ever been to. I couldn't imagine my day to have gone better. I would use her again for any event I planned.
