Csquared Sent on 04/11/2024Amazing experience!
Amazing experience with Apricity Event Co (we worked with them when they were still Loli Events)! My wife and I enlisted Loli to be our “month-of” wedding planner, and we could not be happier with their professionalism, knowledge and services. When we started working with Loli, specifically Carly, we had our venue and a few vendors selected, but were overwhelmed by the seemingly endless “little things” that actually required a lot more attention that we ever imagined. Almost immediately we knew hiring Loli was the best thing we did in the whole wedding planning process. Carly created a customized to do list and timeline for us to stay on track, coordinated with our vendors to make sure what we wanted was what we were getting, walked though our venue with us to provide design ideas, and most importantly, asked the questions we didn’t even know to ask. Overall, we felt at ease that every angle of our wedding had been thought about carefully, and all of our vendors were on the same page for the big day. When our wedding day finally arrived Carly and her team operated at the same high-level as during the planning process. They kept the whole day on track, making sure people were where they were supposed to be when they were supposed to be there, ensuring all of the vendors were doing what they were supposed to be doing and generally keeping the wedding day running smoothly. Most importantly, my wife and I didn’t have to worry about a thing other than each other. We could not recommend Loli (and Carly) enough, and would encourage anyone looking for a planner to consider Loli for their wedding. Thank you again for everything!!! -

Our Dream Wedding
My husband (Arun) and I worked with Apricity Event Co. (when it was still Loli events) to plan a multi-day wedding celebration. On top of planning 3 consecutive days of events, we also asked Rachel to execute on a very non-traditional “new American” style wedding that honored our American and Indian family. The events were not only beautiful and perfectly executed but also fun and memorable. My husband and I would recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a smart and thoughtful planner to help create a meaningful event.
Rachel and her team are absolute SWANS: Calm and controlled above water but they put in serious work underwater. Arun and I felt like we were in great hands throughout the entire planning process and especially on the days of our events. With Rachel, Carly, & team we never felt any judgment if we brought up a new idea or ran into an issue. Rachel graciously guided us if we had difficulty making a decision during the planning process and was incredibly patient with us both. We were continually updated on where we were tracking against budget and the vendors we were put in contact with were super professional. Our wedding weekend felt like a magical fairytale in large part due to the work Rachel and her team put into every last detail. -

Blake B. Sent on 01/23/2024You too can be a Lovely, Low-Stress Bride
While I'd like to think the best decision I made leading up to my wedding was choosing my husband, I think both he and I would agree that the wisest thing I did before the Big Day itself was partnering with Rachel & Loli Events! It was the best investment I made (okay, the dress, but second to the dress is Rachel) and she was 120% worth it!
I was referred to Rachel by a friend who had a wedding at Blue Hill at Stone Barns the year before - he has exacting standards and impeccable taste, so the fact that he had been so thrilled with her and her team's services made me very interested. In our first meeting, Rachel's calm demeanor and "seen it all" confidence made me feel so much less anxious (I was planning a wedding in 6 months, so it all felt like A LOT) and I knew with this woman by my side, we could get it done. While I'm sure doing the full wedding planning experience would have been amazing, our budget meant the Day of Coordination was our option - even with the lower scope, I always felt supported by her and her team. Her recommended vendor list was incredible and the venue was beyond thrilled to hear she would be there - her reputation proceeds her in the industry and her professionalism, thoroughness, and thoughtfulness makes it easy to see why!
There is a lot to say about how she helped during the process, but one thing I will always remember is having someone with her experience remind me we don't *have* to do every element of a traditional wedding - it gave my husband and I permission to actually pick the pieces that were important to us and ditch the stuff that didn't matter (for us, parent dances, gift bags, too many toasts, etc).
On the day of my wedding, I wasn't stressed - even though we were having a tropical storm in New York City! I was able to be present, excited, happy, and even taste the food - because Rachel and her team had truly every minute on lock. Many friends and family joke that they had assumed I'd be at least 15 minutes late (I'm ALWAYS behind schedule), but not on Rachel's watch! Her entire team was lovely and their solutions-oriented attitude and positivity was clearly appreciated by the entire vendor team. I can't recommend Rachel and her team enough - my vision came to life perfectly, but even more importantly, I was able to be present and savor every second of it!Loli Events's reply:
Blake!!! You are an angel. It was truly my pleasure to play a part in making your day so special - you and Matt deserve the world! (and major thanks out to Amber Gress for the beautiful photos so we can relive the happiness of this day forever!!) -

Kelly Sent on 10/15/2023The perfect combo of calming energy but the most thorough / organized
Rachel was truly the perfect planner for us. Her energy and organization made us not worry about a thing all weekend. Leading up to the wedding she was such an amazing sounding board on budgets, the best vendors and really creative and beautiful ideas. She is by far the best planner I’ve interacted with after being in 20+ weddings over the years -

We used Loli events and Carly was our planner. She was amazing in every way. Helpful courteous endlessly patient. She was able to take care of everything seamlessly and just allow us to have a wonderful time. When there were a few issues (rain,Nyc transportation) she quickly improvised solutions and we didn’t miss a beat.
She stayed with us through the entire wedding and after party, helping us cheerfully along the way.
Catherine and Delaney her assistants were amazing too!
Highly recommend! -

Rachel's calm and collected demeanor instilled confidence from the very first call. She worked with us to develop our vision for the wedding day and then executed on that vision flawlessly. She introduced us to and then coordinated with spectacular vendors. I felt so at ease on the day of because I knew Rachel was on top of every moving part. I cannot imagine planning my wedding with anyone more patient, kind, and communicative. Our heartfelt gratitude to Rachel and the entire Loli team ❤️ -

Viraj B. Sent on 01/24/2024Near-zero stress wedding planning
Having Rachel and Carly on our side felt like a cheat code. While friends were planning their weddings and griping about vendors that were hard to work with, unresponsive hotel managers, and budgets getting out of control, my wife Lisa and I kept looking at each other and wondered if we were missing something. Truthfully, Rachel & Carly were just so incredibly organized, experienced, and generally calming presences that we enjoyed every minute of our wedding planning process. We also ended up with a wedding that felt both incredibly personal to us but also a notch above anything that was on our mood board - we owe that to Rachel & Carly's impeccable taste.
A few highlights of the process for us:
1/ The tastings we went on were some of our most memorable date nights. Delicious food (because of course, Rachel knew the best vendors in town), great conversation with Rachel, and the one we went with nailed the late night burgers for our guest that folks talked about weeks after.
2/ When we wanted to come up with a fun way to acknowledge our wedding date being on April Fool's Day, Rachel didn't laugh in our faces but found an outstanding magicians who paid tribute to the day without making the whole affair tacky. He did a short trick with us in front of all our guests that ended with a momento we still have from the night.
3/ Choosing furniture and fun fix-ins was a breeze with Carly and Rachel. We upgraded to really elegant bars in a few choice locations but stayed within our budget overall. Carly even spend nights chasing down a wayward 3am email from me asking if there was any way to install arcade games in a part of the venue (of course she found several vendors, but days later I'd already realized it was a bad idea).
4. Our day-of was magical, effortless, and really really special. When the weather turned out unseasonably warm and sunny, Carly led a last-minute pivot to bring a bunch of cocktail hour tables outdoors so we could use the space before thunderstorms a couple of hours later.
We couldn't be more thankful and would WHOLEHEARTEDLY recommend Loli Events to any bride & groom to be who want to ensure they enjoy the process as much as the outcome when it comes to their wedding. Rachel's calming demeanor, her obvious experience and connections, and her high bar for quality let us make decisions quickly, calmly, and confidently, and we couldn't be more thrilled with how our wedding turned out. Can't wait to get their help again for our vow renewals in 30 years.
If anyone has questions before booking Loli, please send us a note and we're happy to share more about our experience: virajandlisa(at)gmail.com -

Rachel & the Loli team are the best. My wife and I had an amazing experience working with Rachel for our wedding at the Rainbow Room in NYC this past February (2023). She is calm, cool, collected, and will get things done with minimal input from you so that you can enjoy your wedding & the planning process instead of having it become a stress or a chore. Overall, you want somebody who’s both organized and enjoyable to work with. Rachel is that person. I've never been to another wedding that went as smoothly as ours. Our day was perfect. You're in good hands. -

We cannot say enough good things about Rachel and her team! Rachel made the entire wedding planning process easy and enjoyable. She has amazing communication skills - always responding to our emails promptly - and all of the vendors we worked with echoed how much they enjoy working with her. Our wedding day was flawless and above-and-beyond what we expected, and we have no doubt that it is due to Rachel! -

Hillary R. Sent on 09/13/2021Coralie & Her Team at Loli were INCREDIBLE!!
Coralie Pratts was incredible, there are not enough words to share how amazing they were. Her and the team were worth every penny and more! If you are even considering hiring her, do it! It was the best decision of my wedding (outside of marrying my husband!!)
She made every decision easy, was available constantly even though we were working on different time zones, I was on NYC and she was in Paris and we were turning around a small elopement wedding in Paris during COVID (August 2021) planned within 4 months!!!
Coralie helped find the most amazing vendors, negotiated with them and helped me design my dream wedding. She went ABOVE AND BEYOND everyday!!!
Day of was a breeze because she had everything taken care of it and thoughtfully organized. I didn't need to think about ANYTHING! It allowed me to enjoy my day with my family and took away all of the stress.
If you have any questions please reach out because I cannot say enough great things! -

Mollie H. Sent on 02/13/2024Beryl made our dreams come true!
Beryl at Loli Events in Paris is truly the best! Our original plans in Canada were cancelled due to Covid, so we had to pivot last minute and landed on our favorite city, Paris. We met Beryl and could tell right away we would be in good hands. Beryl was absolutely incredible - she planned our entire wedding and welcome party in just 6 weeks. She is so kind and her attention to detail is impeccable. I sent her a few visual ideas and translated my ideas better than I could have ever hoped for or imagined. Even with the quick planning turnaround, there was not a moment I was stressed with her support. She recommended the best vendors and venues to fit our style, and there is no way we could have done any of this planning without her. From the sunset cruise, to the flowers, to violinists, to the DJ, to the ceremony setup, the photographer and videographers, all of it was perfect! I could thank her forever for making our wedding week the most magical and happiest days yet! -

Rachel and the entire on-site Loli Events team were truly a gift to have pre-wedding and on our actual wedding day. Leading up to the day of, Rachel was extremely responsive, well organized and provided excellent vendor recommendations. She went above and beyond with meeting us leading up to the event and ensuring we were on track. We went into the day confident and reassured that everything we had planned for would be taken care of, and Rachel and team surely delivered. Rachel and team were exactly where they needed to be and kept us all on track. The day couldn't have gone any smoother and we have Rachel to thank for that. With so many logistics and emotions packed into one day, we will always look back and remember what an amazing job Loli Events did and how they were such huge contributors to the success of our wedding day!!! -

Hillary K. Sent on 10/09/2020A Miracle Worker!
Rachel and the Loli Events team were immensely professional, supportive, and proactive. Despite planning, re-planning, and re-planning again (... thanks, Covid!), Rachel never missed a step. She could anticipate any potential hiccups, offer insightful recommendations, and advocate on our behalf in conversations with our vendors.
Perhaps most impressively, Rachel was able to keep us relaxed and calm throughout the entire process and on the day-of. She managed to trouble shoot potential issues with ease, coordinate every element perfectly, and - although I can't prove this - ensured that the threat of rain miraculously avoided our outdoor reception.
We will be eternally grateful for her! -

Do yourself a favor and book Loli events (Rachel & Brielle) for your wedding!!! Rachel worked with both myself and my sister for our Manhattan weddings over the last couple years. I could not have enjoyed myself nearly as much without them by my side. They are the most organized people I've ever met. They answer emails with questions and concerns quickly and efficiently. They create a minute to minute plan for your wedding day so the bride does not have to worry about ANYTHING! On the day of my yacht wedding, NYC had a TORNADO WARNING and enormous storm. Rachel and Brielle did everything in their power to make sure everything went off without a hitch and IT WAS PERFECT. I am eternally grateful to Rachel and Brielle for everything!!!! -

Rachel was absolutely wonderful to work with. We were on the west coast, planning our east coast wedding when Rachel (and Loli team) stepped in to help us coordinate the month prior. She kept us organized and on track in completing last minute tasks.
The day of, Rachel was flawless in her execution. We truly don't think the wedding day could have happened without her. We would absolutely recommend Rachel and the Loli team for anyone planning a wedding!

Arielle F. Sent on 11/01/2019The best partner for our wedding
Coralie at Loli events and others on the team were indispensable throughout the entire wedding process. To say they went above and beyond is an understatement. From the start, they had great vendor recommendations, ideas, and never hesitated to do more research when we needed. Coralie really listened to what we wanted at every step and even made sure to travel to be with us in person and make sure she understood all of our needs in context of the venue. During the actual wedding weekend, we had a few last minute issues because of weather, and Coralie and her assistant were quick to find solutions and make sure we had no stress. We've never seen anyone work as hard as they did while still being positive and smiling the entire time. We enjoyed our wedding 100x more because they were there.
