Lauren is the BEST!!!!!!! We seriously not know what we would have done without her help. She helped us with every single detail throughout the whole entire planning process. Everything was so easy and seamless with Lauren, and she truly is the best in Philly. We trusted her with all her knowledge and expertise on all vendors. Our wedding day could not have been any more perfect, thanks to Lauren and her team! -

I cannot recommend Jamie Nadeau enough! She is organized, thoughtful, communicative, and just a joy to be around. She has excellent relationships with amazing vendors across Philly and helped us plan the wedding of our absolute dreams. Everyone commented to us that our wedding was one of the smoothest, best-run events they had ever been to, and we have Jamie to thank for that. She provided so much support leading up to the event, and then was a literal superhero on the day of - not a single detail was forgotten by her! Plus, we now think of her as a friend! You simply cannot go wrong choosing Lauren James Events. -

Jamie at LJEvents was the most impactful and best vendor that we hired for our wedding. She was incredibly knowledgeable and shared her professional input when we needed her. My now husband and I work full-time and I can confidently say we could not have planned out wedding without Jamie. She coordinated meetings/timeline with every other vendor, answered every question we had along the way, and encouraged us when we needed a push to keep planning. I wasn't stressed when our wedding day called for 100% rain because Jamie thought of every change we needed to make ahead of time and the day went as smoothly as if it was always the plan. -

We first heard of Jamie and LJ Events through a cousin who rescheduled her wedding 4x with COVID and raved about how smoothly the process was (every time) because of Jamie so as soon as we booked our date, we reached out. I cannot recommend her enough, from the very first meeting, she put us at ease. Even though we mainly had her for "month of," anytime we reached out with a question she was so responsive and helpful! The day went so smoothly all thanks to her. My mom, bridesmaids and I were able to really enjoy our morning because every single detail was taken care of perfectly! So professional and easy to work with, she made our wedding planning so much fun and enjoyable! I cannot recommend Jamie enough, she is the best!!! -

10/10 Experience with Lauren
We hired Lauren to be our month-of and day-of coordinator for our Water Works wedding on May 6th. Once we were a month out from our wedding day, Lauren spent HOURS on the phone and on Zoom calls with me going over every contract, proposal, and detail of our day. She helped me make some final changes and decisions as well. Lauren quickly became acquainted with our Cescaphe event planner onsite at Water Works, Lexi. They worked well together and had joint calls to ensure that we were all on the same page. She touched base with all of my vendors as well. Her extensive knowledge and expertise was critical in making our day run smoothly. She came up with a day-of timeline, hair and makeup schedule, every single detail regarding our on-site ceremony, timeline for the reception, photo list for the photography, trolley schedule, and so much more. Lauren and her team took care of every detail throughout the night from making sure that our flip flop baskets were being refilled to ensuring that our restroom baskets were moved from the cocktail hour to our reception space. At the end of the night, they took care of counting all of our cards, securing all of our gifts, and gave us a detailed checklist of where everything is and what we took from the reception such as our photobooth album, signature drinks signs, our ketubah, and everything else that was dropped off at the venue for the wedding day. For the longest time I was stubborn and wanted to "do it all myself", but hiring Lauren was our best decision. At the end of the night, I remember telling her and her assistants that, I really don't know how we would have done it without you guys today. Everything ran smoothly because of Lauren and her team. Thank you! -

The best!!
We started working with Jamie almost a year and half before our wedding. She was by our side for every step of the process and quickly learned our tastes - she knew what we would like/not like before we did! She was so easy to communicate with and made sure we didn’t miss a detail. On our wedding day, Jamie and her assistant, Dom, made the day stress-free. We were relaxed and could be completely present. Do yourself a favor, and hire Jamie!! -

We read what felt like 100 reviews for different wedding planners before we found Lauren James Events (specifically, Jamie and Lori!). In retrospect: all that research really paid off.
We were in great hands with Jamie in the months leading up to our wedding, with no question too big or too small. As our date drew closer, we experienced a seamless transition to Lori, our equally skilled month-of planner.
Personable (immensely likable!). Knowledgeable. Responsive. Efficient. Smart. Perceptive. Detail-oriented. Forward-thinking. Lori is all of these things and more. She proved to be a steady infusion of calm on a chaotic day, and exactly what we needed to be able to relax and truly enjoy the day.
Lori’s depth of industry experience translates to an unmatched ability to work with a broad range of vendors, create and execute a timeline, corral what appears to be 1,000 moving pieces, take the unexpected in stride, and ensure a once-in-a-lifetime event goes off without a hitch.
If you’re looking for a seasoned team with recommendations for everything from where to take photos around the city (and the permits you’ll need to do so!) to how much to tip each vendor, LJ Events sits a cut above the rest. We are so grateful for their patience, flexibility, unflagging energy, and determination to make sure our wedding was everything we dreamed of. It was, with Lori and her assistant Alex keeping our sanity and senses of humor in check along the way.
Lastly, coming from someone who debated whether or not she needed a planner: it doesn’t matter how comprehensive your own Excel sheet is. Your planner will think of everything you didn’t know to think of and free you up to spend more time soaking it all in. LJ Events is the best in the business – we highly recommend their services!
