LOLA Lavish with Lori worth every $$$
Booking the LOLA Lavish Package with Lori was the best investment we made during our wedding. Lori is a fantastic professional and elevated and executed our vision with perfection. She is experienced and candid about what is needed or optional to make the event memorable and EPIC. Her connection with a fantastic vendor team, fantastic eye for design, proactiveness and drive make her the perfect wedding planning master. We were planning the wedding from New Jersey and this was never an issue, and being Brazilian with guests from all over and even Brazilian vendors, Lori made sure our Brazilian culture was represented with ease! Best planner ever!!! Lori will execute your vision with no necessary expenses and amazing input - all of the favorite details or our day were Lori insights! On day of if there were any issues we have no idea! It ran absolutely smoothly despite two venues across town, snow and a bilingual crowd! Talk about being an awesome leader!Booking the LOLA Lavish Package with Lori was the best investment we made during our wedding.

The best there ever was!!!
One month out from our wedding and I'm just now able to put into words how incredible the day was, mainly due to Lori & LOLA Events. Lori goes above & beyond in every single regard -- not only does she facilitate every detail with venues, stationary, band, hair/makeup, etc, she puts so much effort into the small things -- table numbers signs, family photo tables, wedding programs, etc. There will be probably 10 things you had no idea to even think of when planning your wedding, but Lori will make sure you have them all and that they're fabulous. Lori cares so deeply about her clients and it shows in the months, weeks, and days leading up to the big day. She really became part of our family over the last 18 months, and we couldn't recommend her or LOLA any more. THANK YOU LORI & team!!!One month out from our wedding and I'm just now able to put into words how incredible the day was, mainly due to Lori & LOLA Events.

Could not have done this without Michelle at LOLA Events
To be honest I do not even know where to begin this review except to say that we could have not done the wedding process at all, and certainly not as well as it was done without Michelle! Shortly after our daughter became engaged, we realized we needed a wedding planner to assist us with the process. The engaged couple was too busy with work and life to be able to do this on their own. After interviewing a few wedding planners, they decided on Michelle from LOLA Event Productions. It only took one meeting with Michelle for my husband and I to realize this would be a worthwhile expense for the wedding. Michelle wowed us with her organization and planning skills. It was great for us as parents to understand the timeline, budget and possible options for creating a wedding that the couple would be thrilled with. Michelle really took the time to understand the couple and their personalities. Throughout the process she presented to couple the decisions that had to be made and options that could meet what they were looking for. She was careful not to persuade the couple one way or another, unless she really felt strongly about an option. On the day of the wedding and quite honestly the entire weekend, we were all relaxed and did not worry about any of the details because we had a timeline with details in hand from Michelle. We thoroughly enjoyed the weekend with our family and friends which was so important to us. For the couple weeks following the wedding we basked in the “afterglow” of a beautiful ceremony and celebration for a beautiful couple.

Highly rec Lola + MIchelle!
We worked with Michelle as our wedding planner last November and it was the best decision we made! To say that my husband and I had no vision for our wedding would be an understatement. All we knew is we wanted to host a beautiful and fun party with our friends and family but had zero clue where to start. From the very beginning, Michelle was incredibly organized and detail-oriented. She took the time to help us find our preferences and helped us craft a vision that reflected us. Throughout the entire process, we had constant communication and check-ins, which made us feel supported and informed every step of the way. She also managed our budget effectively and helped us not only spend money on what we wanted but what would make our day fun and beautiful. The wedding day was absolutely incredible, seriously the best day of our lives. We STILL hear about how amazing our wedding was from friends, family, and even strangers! Thanks Michelle!!!!!

Lori and LOLA are amazing!
I can’t recommend Lola and Lori enough. She made our wedding an absolute dream. She was incredibly organized, and handled all the stressful parts of planning so we could enjoy the process. She was also just a ton of fun to work with, and I really looked forward to our meetings! Not to mention the amazing vendor recommendations. Everyone at our wedding asked how we found such a great band, florist, cake etc. all that magic came from Lori! She really truly made our dream come alive! Words cannot describe how grateful be we are to Lori for making our day so special and such an absolute success. Her attention to detail and positive attitude throughout this entire planning process was so special and so wonderful! We are still basking in all the joy that was our amazing wedding. I could not have imagined a more perfect day. We received so many compliments about how seamless, beautiful and fun everything was.I can’t recommend Lola and Lori enough.

Work with Sanja and you will NOT be disappointed!!
Deciding to work with LOLA was one of the best decisions we made during our wedding planning process! We worked with Sanja Dimitrijevic from start to end - she is the absolute best! Sanja took the time to review potential vendor contracts, provide feedback and really discuss the pros & cons of various ideas we had along the way. She honestly could not have been more helpful, and on the wedding day itself, she had everything under control. We could not recommend working with Sanja enough!!Deciding to work with LOLA was one of the best decisions we made during our wedding planning process!

Kristy and Lola Events are the BEST
If you're looking for one of those weddings where you have to do everything yourself and it's incredibly stressful and everything goes wrong, then do NOT hire Lola Events. They are too good at their jobs for that and will give you a beautiful and perfect, stress-free experience where everything down to the last detail is accounted for. In all seriousness, I've known Kristy personally for many years and when I told her I was engaged, she did not hesitate to give me advice and resources, including hiring her and Lola events to coordinate for us. Kristy and her assistant went more than above and beyond. She created a schedule that made sense and was very easy to follow (we were actually ahead of schedule by the time we got to after-dinner speeches!), and she executed my vision of a teal, navy and gold wedding PERFECTLY. Honestly, decor and design are not my strongest areas, but I ordered a few decorations, gave Kristy a few images on pinterest and told her I trusted her with that. When she handed me my bouquet (also not my strongest area), I almost cried with how perfect it looked. Our Chuppah (which we rented from Lola) was stunning, and when I saw the room set up for dinner with the centerpieces she created from the decorations I'd bought, I almost cried again because it looked so gorgeous. Kristy collected all of our personal items and made sure everything got back to us, she worked seamlessly with all of vendors and was simply a dream. The whole day ran so smoothly and perfectly, I cannot thank her enough!If you're looking for one of those weddings where you have to do everything yourself and it's incredibly stressful and everything goes wrong, then do NOT hire Lola Events.

Managed chaos & supported our vision
Where to begin. Working with Lori & Kirsty for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made. We had to change our date at the last minute due to an injury, and Lori managed all the chaos with so much grace and patience. This wedding literally would not have happened without her! For our reception, Lori and Kirsty listened to our vision for a unique first dance and made it happen despite many doubts from other vendors :) It ended up being our favorite part of the night. You will not regret working with Lola. Thank you Lori and Kirsty for an unbelievable wedding process and wedding day!Where to begin.

Thank you Lori!!
Oh my goodness I don't even know where to start on just how magical and perfect our wedding day was - it was truly the best day of our lives and it was all thanks to Lori! Every vendor she introduced us to was such a joy and dream to work with. Each vendor also told me how Lori is one of the best in the industry and that I was in good hands, which really felt reassuring. She made the whole process so much less stressful and also so much more fun (especially the tasting!).
Before the wedding my mom told me not to worry or stress if something goes wrong, because something will definitely go wrong. After the wedding, my mom told me how perfect the wedding was and how incredible it was that nothing went wrong! Lori was there at every step and it's amazing how smooth everything went thanks to her. Her professionalism, communication skills, dedication, empathy, compassion, and passion truly makes her one of the best wedding planners out there. She makes me want to get married all over again but hopefully my husband and I will have a long and happy marriage haha.

LOLA and Carly C made our wedding day a dream come true!
Working with LOLA/Carly C. was the best decision we made when it came to planning our wedding! We first met with Carly after we picked out our wedding venue. After our first call with her we knew she was going to be the one who was going to bring our dream wedding to life. Carly is prompt, resourceful, professional, confident, and has a strong attention to detail and you can tell she’s just really amazing at her job. Once we signed the contract with Carly we were set up with a Google Drive that became very helpful throughout the entire planning process. We really appreciated how organized everything was and that was the case with every other aspect of planning our wedding with Carly.
When you’re in the beginning stages of planning a wedding there are so many decisions to make ahead of you, but it seemed like in the blink of an eye we had just about all vendors booked because of Carly. She offers suggestions, introductions to vendors, answers any questions about the vendors, and makes it an easy process for all parties involved. She always kept us on track and made sure we stuck to our deadlines, which was a HUGE help! When it came to our theme, Carly took all of our inspiration, photos, Pinterest boards, etc. and provided us with a mood board that completely encapsulated what we were looking for. Every little detail was considered, from the flowers to the lighting, creating a wedding day that we’re getting compliments on to this day. The day of the wedding could not have gone any better. It really was the perfect day. Everything was seamless and Carly was always prepared to assist with anything we needed. The timeline Carly created for us went exactly as planned and there was not a single hiccup the entire day.
If you’re currently searching for a wedding planner, you don’t need to look any further than Carly! We can say with complete confidence that Carly will make sure your wedding day is everything you could ever hope it would be. We can’t recommend her enough. She takes away all of the stress of piecing every part of the day together so you can just focus on the day and enjoy every moment. Everyone we have talked to after our wedding has told us they were really impressed with how amazing the day went and we’d like to thank Carly for being the one who brought it all together. Carly, you have no idea how much we appreciate you and everything you did for us! We will never forget how amazing our wedding day was!

Amazing planner!!!
Lori at LOLA is amazing!! We interviewed three wedding planners and decided on Lori immediately after the interview. She is extremely organized, experienced, thorough, patient and made the entire process easy and enjoyable. She always paid attention to the details and never got frustrated with any of our questions. Our wedding day was so enjoyable and ran smoothly, we didn’t have to worry about anything except the celebration with our family and friends. The wedding day was easily the best day of my life and was the exact vision for what we wanted. We are so thankful that we went with Lori and so happy with how everything turned out!!

Hiring LOLA, and working with Carly specifically was the best decision I ever made
I cannot recommend working with LOLA enough. I had the pleasure of speaking with the owner Lori a little over a year before my wedding. I had already booked the venue and was unsure if hiring a wedding planner was worth it or not, and after my phone call with Lori, I absolutely saw the value and knowledge that hiring a planner would bring. She recommended I work with Carly and it was easily the best decision I made in my entire wedding process (besides my husband of course).
From our very first phone call, Carly has been beyond incredible. I truly cannot accurately describe the peace of mind she gave me throughout this entire process. I personally get overwhelmed super quickly, never know where to start, and am the biggest procrastinator. From our very first in person meeting, Carly laid everything out in a way that I was able to process and actually be excited for. She asked questions I never would have even known to ask, was able to take my messy brain and aesthetic and put together the most AMAZING vision board of everything I was trying to describe.
She created an amazing Google Drive to house all our contracts, our ideas, our timeline, basically our wedding bible. This made it so much easier to see what needed to be done and when, where we were with certain vendors, when payments were due, etc. Despite all of the information being easily accessible and readily available, Carly was CONSTANTLY there to answer my endless questions. I was always able to reach her with whatever question I had, both big and small. I was always met with her patience and knowledge no matter what I needed.
She had endless and priceless knowledge on all of the vendors we had to choose from, set up meetings with them and handled all communication, and overall just kept my sanity together. She would do the hard work so I could show up to an amazing and perfect meeting and actually enjoy my wedding process.
The entire process was a DREAM and I can solely attribute that to Carly. Every time I saw someone and they would ask how stressed I was, or what else needed to be done, each time people would be shocked at how calm and happy I was with my entire wedding planning experience. Everything was laid out for me in such an easy way, Carly would even send me periodic emails with timely to do’s and create to do lists for me. Like I said, I am a self aware procrastinator, and Carly stayed on top of me in a way that did not overwhelm me and always made sure I knew what needed to be done. She designed the most AMAZING timeline down to the literal minute for me, my family, all of the vendors, the guests, everyone.
The entire process was a dream which I cannot thank her enough for to begin with, but I have no words for how amazing she was in the final month, week, and even days before. Your wedding week as a bride is quite possibly the biggest week of your life. There are so many moving pieces, so many personal appointments you have, and potentially even people coming in from out of town to entertain, I didn’t think I would even have time to sleep. I had so many things for the ceremony and reception to bring to Carly, and she could not have been more accommodating. She worked within my crazy schedule to make sure everything got to her and to the venue. Waking up the day of my wedding, all I felt was excitement. There was not a single nerve because I knew that Carly would make sure everything was perfect. From the second she showed up, I was put at ease. When people were asking me questions, I think my most used phrase of the day was, “ask Carly”. And she knew absolutely everything. Her and her assistant made sure that I had the most amazing day of my life. The day flowed beyond smoothly, not a thing went wrong, and even if I did, Carly had a plan B-Z to make sure everything would work. My mom and dad were able to enjoy the wedding and visit with everyone, because they knew that Carly had the day taken care of. My wedding day was easily the best day of my life, my exact vision for what I wanted, and even better than I expected. And I can say without a single doubt, that ALL of it was due to Carly.
I could go on endlessly and my attention span is terrible so I truly hope if you took the time to read this entire review, you take away that you should 100000000% hire LOLA as a whole, and you should absolutely request to work with Carly. She was an amazing planner, a perfect resource, and just the best person I have met. I have so many friends and family members that have gotten married and said while it was great, the process was just terrible and they couldn’t wait to just have the day be over with. Carly made me enjoy the process, and to be able to look back on this with nothing but a smile and such happiness because Carly made sure that it was perfect. You truly just cannot put a price on what she did for us.
Carly, I will never be able to thank you enough for everything. But from the absolute bottom of my heart, THANK YOU.
I cannot recommend working with LOLA enough. I had the pleasure of speaking with the owner Lori a little over a year before my wedding. I had already booked the venue and was unsure if hiring a wedding planner was worth it or not, and after my phone call with Lori, I absolutely saw the value and knowledge that hiring a planner would bring. She recommended I work with Carly and it was easily the best decision I made in my entire wedding process (besides my husband of course).
From our very first phone call, Carly has been beyond incredible. I truly cannot accurately describe the peace of mind she gave me throughout this entire process. I personally get overwhelmed super quickly, never know where to start, and am the biggest procrastinator. From our very first in person meeting, Carly laid everything out in a way that I was able to process and actually be excited for. She asked questions I never would have even known to ask, was able to take my messy brain and aesthetic and put together the most AMAZING vision board of everything I was trying to describe.
She created an amazing Google Drive to house all our contracts, our ideas, our timeline, basically our wedding bible. This made it so much easier to see what needed to be done and when, where we were with certain vendors, when payments were due, etc. Despite all of the information being easily accessible and readily available, Carly was CONSTANTLY there to answer my endless questions. I was always able to reach her with whatever question I had, both big and small. I was always met with her patience and knowledge no matter what I needed.
She had endless and priceless knowledge on all of the vendors we had to choose from, set up meetings with them and handled all communication, and overall just kept my sanity together. She would do the hard work so I could show up to an amazing and perfect meeting and actually enjoy my wedding process.
The entire process was a DREAM and I can solely attribute that to Carly. Every time I saw someone and they would ask how stressed I was, or what else needed to be done, each time people would be shocked at how calm and happy I was with my entire wedding planning experience. Everything was laid out for me in such an easy way, Carly would even send me periodic emails with timely to do’s and create to do lists for me. Like I said, I am a self aware procrastinator, and Carly stayed on top of me in a way that did not overwhelm me and always made sure I knew what needed to be done. She designed the most AMAZING timeline down to the literal minute for me, my family, all of the vendors, the guests, everyone.
The entire process was a dream which I cannot thank her enough for to begin with, but I have no words for how amazing she was in the final month, week, and even days before. Your wedding week as a bride is quite possibly the biggest week of your life. There are so many moving pieces, so many personal appointments you have, and potentially even people coming in from out of town to entertain, I didn’t think I would even have time to sleep. I had so many things for the ceremony and reception to bring to Carly, and she could not have been more accommodating. She worked within my crazy schedule to make sure everything got to her and to the venue. Waking up the day of my wedding, all I felt was excitement. There was not a single nerve because I knew that Carly would make sure everything was perfect. From the second she showed up, I was put at ease. When people were asking me questions, I think my most used phrase of the day was, “ask Carly”. And she knew absolutely everything. Her and her assistant made sure that I had the most amazing day of my life. The day flowed beyond smoothly, not a thing went wrong, and even if I did, Carly had a plan B-Z to make sure everything would work. My mom and dad were able to enjoy the wedding and visit with everyone, because they knew that Carly had the day taken care of. My wedding day was easily the best day of my life, my exact vision for what I wanted, and even better than I expected. And I can say without a single doubt, that ALL of it was due to Carly.
I could go on endlessly and my attention span is terrible so I truly hope if you took the time to read this entire review, you take away that you should 100000000% hire LOLA as a whole, and you should absolutely request to work with Carly.

Carly C. (and LOLA) are a MUST!!
Hiring Carly C. from Lola Planners and getting the LOLA Signature Planning Services Package was the BEST and SMARTEST decision we have ever made. We can’t say enough great things about Carly, and although words can’t even begin to express how amazing she is, we’ll give it a shot.
From the very beginning, Carly made us feel comfortable and prepared for the journey we were about to embark on. Carly’s organization, attention to detail, and style was a perfect match for us. She immediately understood our vision and helped bring that vision to life by answering questions, pointing us in the right direction, and recommending details we never would have thought of ourselves. When planning a wedding, you have to reach out to many vendors and make countless decisions (which can get difficult when you’re a slightly indecisive couple). Lucky for us, Carly made that process seamless and ensured that we were happy and confident in our choices. Carly stayed on top of us for approvals and final decisions and handled the execution completely by herself. Her expertise and experience made the vendor selection process a cakewalk and made the wedding planning process as stress-free as possible.
Carly handled all communication with vendors, updated budget and payment spreadsheets, prepared a mood board for the wedding, offered up amazing ideas to make the wedding both beautiful and special, and sent out detailed timelines. Carly had every minute of our wedding day planned to a tee, which set us up for success. Carly’s coordination with vendors on the day of the wedding was flawless, as everything was perfectly set up and ready to go by the time we got there, and things went according to plan throughout the entire wedding.
On the wedding day, Carly made our dream wedding a reality. She made sure we were both doing okay while getting ready, prepared the wedding party and officiant for the ceremony, organized private moments for us to take everything in, was an expert at dress fluffing and bustling, helped us sneak away for our reception outfit change, packed up the bridal suite and returned our things to our hotel room, and constantly roamed around making sure things were perfect. Carly managed requests from family members during the wedding, ensured we
were never without a drink in our hand (while also ensuring that we were eating enough and drinking lots of water), helped move us along if a guest was monopolizing a little too much of our time, and checked in with us throughout the night. Above all, Carly made it a priority to make sure that we were the happiest we’ve ever been and boy did she excel at that.
Although it was our day, Carly ran the wedding so well that we felt more like guests because we were able to sit back (well, dance) and enjoy! On that note, our guests kept coming up to us saying they had never been to a wedding that was so well-organized and ran so smoothly. Guests were also raving about Carly, saying that our planner did a fantastic job setting everything up and making sure things went off without a hitch.
We can say, without a shadow of a doubt, that we would not have had such a beautiful wedding (or a wedding at all….) without Carly by our side throughout the whole wedding planning process. Carly started off as a planner, but she has truly become one of our good friends and we are forever grateful to have her in our lives. We are the biggest fans of Carly (and LOLA) and will be recommending her and her team to every single person we know who is getting married. Carly, LOLA, and the signature package are worth every cent (and more)!

A Fairy Tale Wedding with Lola Event Productions
Throughout the wedding planning process, we can’t count the number of times we said thank goodness we have Carly! Carly was our wedding planner at Lola Event Productions and we can’t say enough good things about Carly’s diligence, attention to detail, responsiveness, and organization.
We found Carly after we had picked our venue and were in the mix of looking for vendors. We found it challenging finding vendors by ourselves without knowing anything about them. Carly recommended a list of vendors for every need we had, and they were all the BEST in the industry. They were highly reputable, and all vendors Carly had worked with in the past. We were confident with the vendors we selected and sure enough they were all amazing come wedding day! Having the advice and guidance from Carly was a huge help when it came to vendor selection and took away our fears of not knowing if we made a good selection. Carly also handled all of the communication with the vendors and sent out a detailed day of timeline to all of them. I couldn’t even imagine trying to coordinate all of the times with the vendors by ourselves! Carly provided every detail to them, handled questions, and communicated what time and where they should be on the wedding day. The vendor coordination on the wedding day was flawless and the vendors were all absolutely amazing—from the photographer, videographer, DJ, cocktail reception musicians, photobooth, and florist. We would not change ANYTHING.
Throughout the entire wedding planning process, Carly had great detail and kept us on our appropriate timeline and when we should be completing different tasks. She was very on top of everything and was extremely responsive. Whenever I had a question or needed advice, she was quick to respond and always had an answer. It was very helpful to be able to work with an expert in the industry because there is SO much we didn’t know about planning a wedding and so many details we otherwise would have missed. Our wedding would have looked a lot different without the help of Carly. She also helped make the process a lot less stressful. When we started planning our wedding, we wanted to enjoy the planning process and not get stressed out about it, as we had many friends that were stressed planning their wedding and couldn’t wait to be done with it. We enjoyed every minute. Even wedding week, I had imagined it would be a chaotic week, instead everything was in line and it was more relaxing leading up to the big day! If it wasn’t for Carly, I know this would not have been the case.
Just when we thought Carly’s amazing planning couldn’t get any better, come wedding day we were truly amazed. Everything was flawless and worked like clockwork! We had 11 girls at my house the morning of the wedding getting hair and makeup done and getting ready. Somehow, we managed to be ahead of schedule and got to the church early! Carly made sure we stayed on schedule—between eating lunch, getting dressed, doing first look pictures with the bridesmaids—she helped us stay within our timeline. If it wasn’t for her, we would not have been on schedule! The day of, we also had an assistant wedding coordinator which was fantastic. Once the ceremony started, Carly went to the reception location to ensure everything was going smoothly, while the assistant stayed at the church to help things run smoothly there. Having Carly at the reception hall relieved a TON of stress knowing she was there to ensure all of the vendors showed up and the room was looking how it was supposed to. Otherwise, we would have been coordinating all of this ourselves after our wedding ceremony and couldn’t even imagine having the time to do that between pictures and mingling with guests at the cocktail reception. Carly also helped bustle my wedding dress, which caused a lot of stress to my maid of honor, mom, and mother-in-law beforehand! Everyone was concerned they wouldn’t be able to bustle the dress as it was challenging when they tried it previously. Low and behold Carly had the proper tools and helped bustle it without a sweat! At the reception I also want to note I felt a headache coming on and Carly checked in during dinner and she gave me Excedrin from her emergency supply she carries with on wedding days. She later checked in again to see how I was feeling, and I landed up taking another Excedrin and before long I was good as new! Carly was so prepared and helped save the day!
Overall, the wedding day EXCEEDED expectations. It was the fairy tale wedding we had dreamed of, and we owe that to Carly. She helped make our vision become reality and her coordination and planning is truly unparalleled. I also can’t count the number of times throughout the wedding day she just checked in to see how we were doing and if we needed anything. That truly meant a lot and we felt cared for! We heard from many people that it was the BEST wedding they have ever been to. We were blown away by the number of times we were told that. Working with Carly was the best decision we made in our wedding planning process and highly recommend working with Carly and Lola Event Productions as you plan your wedding. You will not be disappointed!

The best decision we made
Hiring LOLA Productions was the best decision we made in our entire wedding planning process. From booking our first vendor through the last song of the wedding, we had full trust in Carly (our coordinator) and the LOLA team. Carly was our partner in the truest sense of the term—she is an expert with an uncanny ability to translate amorphous vibes, feelings, thoughts, and wishes into concrete visions, plans, timelines, and moments. She struck the perfect balance of setting clear expectations around timelines and budget while also holding space for creativity and inspiration in the planning process. And when the big day arrived, she orchestrated everything with skill, care, and decisiveness. We loved our wedding—and the planning process—and we absolutely could not have done it without Carly and LOLA.Hiring LOLA Productions was the best decision we made in our entire wedding planning process.

Magical, Magical Wedding
Where can I even begin with this review. Hiring Lola Planners was the BEST decision we made. We did the Signature LOLA package and it was perfect for what we needed. We were paired with Carly C. since our wedding was in Lake Geneva and she is familiar with the area. Our wedding exceeded every expectation and was the most magical day and we owe it all to Carly C. I was never someone who had a vision of what her wedding day would be and I honestly had no idea about the process. Carly took all of our (my) eclectic inspiration photos and pulled together the most beautiful (and cohesive) mood board. She then curated the PERFECT vendor team to execute the vision and it honestly turned out 1,000,000x better than we could have imagined.
We had zero stress throughout the entire planning process because we trusted Carly and the vendors. Carly answered all of our questions and gave sound advice whenever we were on the fence about a decision. She always waited to see our reaction to options or if we had questions before commenting and she (tactfully) guided us when something was worth spending more on versus something that we didn't necessarily need or it didn't make a difference.
Every single one of our guests commented that it was the best wedding they'd ever been to and how amazing our coordinator was. No detail was overlooked. There was no way we could have pulled off such an incredible wedding without her. This review doesn't even capture everything that she provided -- there is so much more that she did behind the scenes that I'm sure I will never know about. We cannot thank her enough for being our calm, cool, collected pillar of strength and sanity.Where can I even begin with this review. Hiring Lola Planners was the BEST decision we made.

Sanja from LOLA is a QUEEN
I don't think I'll ever have the right words to describe just how wonderful Sanja Dimitrijevic is. She went above and beyond to make our wedding magical, and as perfect as it could be. She saved the day on multiple occasions, took on the therapist/best friend role at times, and not only double-checked everything, but fixed things I overlooked, which she caught. While the planning process was quite stressful, I told my now-husband on numerous occasions that every time I got off a call with Sanja, all my planning stress went away. She understood our culture and Hindu weddings with such respect and knowledge, which made me so comfortable in telling her what obstacles I had through the planning process, those of which she seamlessly helped navigate me through.
Come wedding day, Indian standard time hit us like bricks. However, SHE WAS SO PREPARED! Every time I got worried with how untimely everything was happening, she assured me it was okay with all the buffers she incorporated in the schedule. With everything that happened, she handled everything like A QUEEN. Speaking of...I was so bummed that I missed the desserts at our wedding , but guess what our PERFECT coordinator had waiting in our hotel room for us.
I do hope Sanja continues making magical wedding moments for all her future couples. We couldn't have found a more perfect planner, and now friend.I don't think I'll ever have the right words to describe just how wonderful Sanja Dimitrijevic is.

Incredible job by Sanja!
2023 bride here! I found LOLA events through The Knot. When I saw that they were in Vogue magazine, I could not help myself and reached out to Lori and request a day-of coordinator. She promptly set me up with Sanja who was absolutely incredible. Her warm personality and organization skills were a perfect match for me. She was attentive during our meetings and accommodated all my requests/meeting reschedules. During wedding week, she went above and beyond by picking up items from my home and made sure they were at the venue on the day of. She made sure the day ran smoothly (at least for the bride!) and sent a follow up email a week after the wedding with anything that she encountered that day. I would recommend LOLA to all future couples!2023 bride here! I found LOLA events through The Knot.

Our wedding was perfect thanks to Lori!!!
I cannot express how grateful we are to have worked with Lori!!! She was so knowledgeable, trustworthy, honest and FUN from day one, and truly made all our wedding dreams come true. Planning a big wedding can be a stressful process, but Lori’s organization skills and attention to detail made us feel confident and relaxed over the entire year of planning. Any idea I came to her with, she was able to help turn into a reality and lead us to the most amazing vendors. The actual wedding day was FLAWLESS and I wouldn’t have changed a single thing!! Lori ensured the day ran so smoothly from start to finish, and was such a calming presence throughout. We cannot recommend Lori enough!!!! Forever grateful we found her!I cannot express how grateful we are to have worked with Lori!!! She was so knowledgeable, trustworthy, honest and FUN from day one, and truly made all our wedding dreams come true. Planning a big wedding can be a stressful process, but Lori’s organization skills and attention to detail made us feel confident and relaxed over the entire year of planning. Any idea I came to her with, she was able to help turn into a reality and lead us to the most amazing vendors. The actual wedding day was FLAWLESS and I wouldn’t have changed a single thing!! Lori ensured the day ran so smoothly from start to finish, and was such a calming presence throughout. We cannot recommend Lori enough!!!! Forever grateful we found her! -

Best-in-Class Wedding Planner (like Lori @ Lola) = Key #1 to a Perfect Wedding
Lori @ Lola was the best. Her preparation and expertise showed as every key detail really came to light throughout our entire wedding planning process and especially on our wedding day. She had answers if anything went wrong, and came prepared with backup shoes for me (the groom) after my feet started hurting after hours of dancing (one of many special touches she added to our night). Beyond her professionalism and experience, she's an incredible person to work with - we realized that a best-in-class wedding planner is priority #1 to ensure a smooth, successful wedding. I highly recommend Lori & Lola as a wedding planner!Lori @ Lola was the best.

Michelle Kurinec @ Lola Event Productions--EXCELLENT!
Our daughter, KT, announced her engagement to us by asking, 'Mom, don't you want to plan a fancy 'destination' wedding for me in a few months?' I was thrilled she and Tom were getting married but I panicked at the thought of planning a wedding or even being a part of the process. I said yes but added that we needed to find a wedding planner. KT's fiancé also wanted to be involved in the wedding plans. KT had done some research and had already decided on Lola Event Productions. She received recommendations for Michelle Kurinec @ Lola from a relative. We met with her and immediately liked her. We hired Michelle and got to work right away. KT had preselected a venue located in New Buffalo, MI, 90 minutes from Chicago for her 'destination' wedding. I was concerned about the feasibility and costs of having vendors travel from Chicago to New Buffalo and equally concerned with what vendors were available in southwestern Michigan post pandemic. We had our first meeting with Michelle and my concerns became less important to me because Michelle was in charge! She was: * very patient and addressed all of our concerns. * organized and able to anticipate upcoming needs based on our personal decisions * very efficient & punctual with meetings & follow-up communications * cost conscious! We really appreciated this because she could have been focused on spend, spend spend! * extremely pleasant to work with * a supreme multitasker! Very detailed oriented * great with communications--wonderful about including me on some but not all of the details (at my daughter's request!)--which I really appreciated. I wasn't overwhelmed with the decisions. My daughter knew I would likely say 'no not necessary' to some of her ideas, like the bubbles??!! ; ) * kept my daughter on task with reminders, to do lists and even provided a packing list for the wedding! There were many options available to us in Michigan and/or Chicago. Michelle professionally navigated through these options and contracts very easily. Michelle's active involvement in all areas wedding were really a blessing! You know how mom's and daughters can have little tifs at any age? (Over things like the bubbles!!) The wedding planning was pretty much tif free!! I surrendered my concerns and opinions--our daughter was in good hand's with Michelle. The day of the event was masterfully handled by Michelle. While we were waiting to walk down the aisle I noticed a couple arriving from out of state who had not RSVP'd. Based on the note they had attached to their gift we thought they were not coming! KT & I told Michelle about the arrival of our unexpected guests and seamlessly took care of getting them a seating card, places to sit, place settings and meals. Michelle also provided suggestions as to what we could say to make them feel warmly welcomed and not mention their missing RSVP! It worked and was an excellent & thoughtful strategy. We found Michelle to be pleasant to work and very professional. We would highly recommend Michelle Kurinec.

Hire Sanja!!
Sanja Dimitrijevic was the absolute MVP of our wedding day.
Even though we technically only hired her as a day-of coordinator, her commitment to us started well before the day of our wedding. Sanja was detail-oriented and responsive – starting from our very first meeting. She was an excellent listener and was always willing to provide feedback when needed.
If there was a question that she didn't immediately have an answer to, she would seek out a response and get back to us quickly. She was incredibly helpful in reviewing our contracts, communicating with our vendors and establishing a detailed timeline.
But the real magic of Sanja came out the day of the wedding!
She was in her element.
She had a calm yet confident demeanor that made us feel so at ease so that we could enjoy our day. From morning until night, anytime we needed her, somehow Sanja appeared in our sights.
She thought of every last detail, from providing treats to the ring-bearer bearer and flower girls (and the anxious bride) to making sure that we had hors d'oeuvres and our signature cocktail in our bridal suite.
And she wasn’t just great with us. Several of our family members came up to us independently that night to tell us big and small ways she had helped them.
We couldn’t recommend Sanja highly enough.Sanja Dimitrijevic was the absolute MVP of our wedding day.

Review of LOLA Day-of Wedding Coordinator
Having Sanja from LOLA as our day-of wedding coordinator made our wedding day feel smooth, seamless and stress-free! After months of planning the wedding, I wanted to be sure to minimize stress so I could truly enjoy myself during the week leading up to the wedding and on the wedding day itself. I knew I was in great hands with Sanja — she handled communication about day-of logistics with all of our vendors, set up the cutest guest book signing area with her own polaroid camera, ran through our rehearsal with our entire wedding party, helped avoid a minor crisis with our flowers and even helped me steam my dress again right before walking down the aisle to make sure it was perfect. From big details to tiny ones, I knew I could trust Sanja to handle everything and let me really enjoy my day. I’d highly recommend working with LOLA!!Having Sanja from LOLA as our day-of wedding coordinator made our wedding day feel smooth, seamless and stress-free!

Lola is the best!
Lola Event Productions is the best in the buiz! I hired them to plan an awards gala and was thrilled with everything. The event was perfect. I specifically worked with Carly C. who is AMAZING. She was so easy to work with, extremely detailed, professional, and communicative. I 100% recommend and will use them the next time I plan an event in the Chicago area. It’s worth every penny (and more)!Lola Event Productions is the best in the buiz! I hired them to plan an awards gala and was thrilled with everything. The event was perfect.
