Best Decision Ever
Don’t think twice about having Laura and her team help plan your dream wedding. They worked with us for 6 months to make our quick April 2023 wedding picture perfect. Words can’t express how wonderful they are to work with, let alone how good they are at what they do! The details and work they put into a wedding are incredible. Laura, Ashley, and Katie made our wedding experience the best day our our lives. We want to do it all over again. They are with you every single step of the way and are always accessible for anything you need. We would of never done this without them and are grateful for everything they have done for us. -

Laura helped us plan our April 2023 wedding at the Sarasota Yacht Club. From beginning to end of the planning process, Laura and her team were fantastic! She helped us to stay organized and on track, which made planning so much easier.
She is very efficient and very easy to work with. Always quick to get an answer back to you or update you on something. As it got closer to the wedding, she had meetings planned perfectly to get every being addressed in a timely manner.
The weekend of the wedding was truly a breeze thanks to her and her team. She made sure vendors were coordinated and on time. Quickly addressing and resolving anything that popped up. Our wedding day was such a joy and truly made so much smoother by her attention to detail and organization. We are so thankful to have gotten to work with her for the past year and feel genuinely sad not to have something to work on with her.
Besides amazing event planner, she is an extremely kindhearted and wonderful person. Truly someone you want to work with and have alongside you during an important event. We can’t say enough good things! I would highly recommend her to anyone needing assistance or full planning or their event. Thank you Laura, we love you!! -

Grace Under Pressure!
Laura was cool, calm, and collected from day one, which was very important to my husband and I since we were planning a wedding in a relatively short amount of time. Laura and her assistant Ashley were incredibly helpful in sending us preferred vendor information so that we could start piecing together our very special day. Needless to say, we feel we ended up with a dream team! Laura and team coordinated communication with each vendor so that we didn’t have to worry, and kept us updated all along the way. Leading up to our wedding day, Laura checked in with us consistently and offered great suggestions to make sure we were getting exactly what we wanted.
The LDE planning team allowed us to have a seamless wedding day where we could be present and take in so many incredible memories.
We are so grateful to Laura and her team for their phenomenal work and grace under pressure. -

Laura and her team were fantastic to work with leading up to our wedding and even more amazing on our wedding day! We were planning a destination wedding, which is always scary when you don't really "know" any of the vendors you'll be working with, Laura included! We did her "happily ever after package", she was extremely helpful and provided so much value the months leading up to our wedding. She was extremely knowledgeable in guiding us with vendors, providing suggestions and ideas based on our needs. She has an excellent network and was able to find us options in our budget, despite it being spring break and a very large wedding. I changed my mind on things, switched vendors, she was always willing to provide guidance, suggestions, send notes on our behalf, etc. She was fantastic the month of diving into every detail with us and managed to put out quite a few fires day off with ease. If you are a type A bride, and want to feel like everything is handled on your day, I would suggest using Laura, she really thinks of everything and when we had to move things around due to weather last minute, I really trusted her. What I love most is that she still checks in on us from time to time just to say hi, she really cares! -

Ashley M. Sent on 06/21/2022The best wedding planner!
My mom and I planned most of the wedding but we decided that we need a little help with the month of and day of planning. Laura and her team were super friendly and helped us get everything organized. She made sure I had everything i needed for my wedding day and that all the vendors were taken care of. She was very thorough and easy to talk to. When i needed something or had a questions she got back to me very quickly. The wedding day was a breeze because of her, she went above and beyond to make sure i was stress free and that everything was going according to schedule. Some obstacles happen on your wedding day and she made sure to take care of it so i was stress free. With out her my day would have been way more stressful than it was. I recommend Laura Detwiler Events because i know she will go above and beyond for everyone of her clients and will make sure your wedding day is perfect. -

Destination Planning
We worked with Laura on our February 2022 wedding at Marie Selby Gardens through her partial planning package, particularly focused on vendor selection and month-of service. It was so great to have a planner who is familiar with the venue and the area since we were planning a "destination" wedding from Philadelphia. We started working with her about 10 months out and she immediately helped us book all of our vendors (who were also amazing). She was incredibly responsive and her online planning tool kept everything organized throughout the process. For the rehearsal and day-of, it was also a great experience working with Katie who kept the entire bridal party on track and tended to our every needs. We would definitely recommend working with Laura and her team (especially Katie) at Laura Detwiler Events!Laura Detwiler Events's reply:
Hi Kristin--Thank you for the very kind review! I am so grateful we got to be part of not only your very special day but all the months leading up to it as well. I had such an amazing experience working with you on everything and I am so glad everything turned out SO beautiful! I look forward to keeping in touch in the future. -

Nicole P. Sent on 03/22/2022Hiring Laura is a MUST!!
Laura is the real deal!! She was constantly working in the background preparing and ensuring all vendor logistics and details of the day went smoothly. This was essential for us because we were planning a wedding in Sarasota from multiple states away, and only had a few visits that year to accomplish wedding things! She scheduled zoom calls with us in the interim and always made sure me, my groom, and my family were on the same page with the details of the day (not a task for the lighthearted haha!)! She balanced letting us do the parts we were excited about, like the design elements, but taking over and coordinating logistics and parts we didn’t want to do. She advocated for us to vendors if things weren’t going as we thought and figured out solutions for us all year!
The biggest thing for us was the TIMELINE (I’m sure she is chuckling at this)! If there were any problems that day I have no idea because she kept the whole night running smoothly and efficiently…which was key for keeping the energy up on a LATE evening New Years wedding! I had full faith that she could handle anything because of her years and years of experience, and that came in handy more than we would have expected!
On the actual wedding weekend, for multiple unforeseen reasons, we had to change the wedding church two days before!!! Everyone I tell that to says, “oh that must’ve have been SO stressful,” but honestly it wasn’t because we had Laura figuring everything out! I can’t even imagine how stressed we would’ve been otherwise. She truly went above and beyond for us!!

What an incredibly nice review you wrote and thank you so much for taking the time to write it. I had the best time getting to know all your family and friends throughout the planning and of course seeing all your hard work and vision come to life on the day of the wedding. Everyone was so kind between all your family and friends and I am so glad it turned out to be the perfect day. We must all keep in touch. -

I cannot say enough amazing things about Laura and her team! She went above and beyond to ease my mind, check in on me and make our day perfect.

I would recommend Laura and her team to anyone that is looking for the services she offers.Laura Detwiler Events's reply:

This is the Wedding Planner to have!
Laura kept me on top of deadlines and brought my vision to reality for my Daughter's wedding. She let me be just as creative and she pulled it all together. The thought I was only going to have her for the "day of" turned into "I need help" and additional services were added when needed. I was not locked into just what was agreed upon. She got to know me and my Daughter as well. Our likes and dislikes and how to intercept vendor issues before I had to worry about any changes. I'm going to miss working with her!Laura Detwiler Events's reply:
Thank you for the very kind review! It was such a pleasure working on your daughter’s wedding with you. -

Laura and her team was absolutely AMAZING! Throughout the entire planning process, Laura made sure we had everything we needed and even inspire some extra additions (hello, cold sparklers). She knew how to handle both my mother and I in times of stress which is nothing short of amazing. The day of was a dream, she made every vision we had come to life and even if something went wrong she handled it with grace! If you are looking for a wedding planning to be there for you through every step of your wedding plan/day of journey, Laura Detwiler and her team is exactly what you need! -

She was professional and extremely helpful and paid attention to every detail. Made the entire process painless and easy for us. Even though we put her through a lot with constantly changing our minds about things.
She was perfect and I would highly recommend her!Laura Detwiler Events's reply:

Jaclyn E. Sent on 11/11/2019You MUST hire Laura Detwiler for your wedding!
The best decision Dan and I made with planning our wedding was hiring Laura as our wedding coordinator. The planning and event itself would not have been as amazing as it was without Laura’s knowledge, expertise, help and most importantly, friendship.
When Dan and I first spoke with Laura we were impressed by her experience and knowledge and appreciated that she asked lots of questions about us. She truly wanted to get to know who we were as individuals and as a couple. While Dan and I had a vision and some ideas, event planning is not a skill of ours, nor do we like it so we knew we needed help and we were so happy we had the opportunity to work with Laura! Laura made us feel comfortable and excited and we knew we could trust her.
Laura was always available to help, she was directive which Dan and I really needed, and she took the lead in coordinating and planning between all of our vendors. About 2-3 weeks leading up to our wedding, Laura would check-in with us throughout the week to make sure we were ok and to ask if we needed anything. On the day of the wedding Laura was always there when we needed her – AND she made sure we got to eat a little in between talking with our guests and dancing! Everything turned out to be so beautiful and perfect and absolutely exceeded our expectations. Before I walked down the aisle, Laura gave me words of encouragement as I was really really nervous, and she reminded me to smile. I’ll never forget this – she truly helped to put me at ease. Laura also stayed after the event to help clean up and gather all the items that belonged to us.
We highly recommend using Laura’s services for your wedding or any event you’re hosting! She is a true expert at her craft and loves helping people’s visions come to life and experiences memorable.
