    Where do I even start….. When I got engaged the thought of planning a wedding was an extremely daunting task. I lost my mom 5 years ago and as the only girl in the family, I couldn’t imagine being able to pull it off. To make matters more complicated I have always dreamed of hosting my wedding at my family’s harbor front home in Falmouth. I was introduced to Lo through a good friend and it after my first phone call with her, I was confident she was a great match. Lo met with me and my dad and we were all was a bit skeptical of my desire to transform our home in to a venue for 200 people. As that list grew to 300, Lo was forced to get creative and OMG did she rise to the challenge. Lo took time to understand the style wedding I was looking for which extremely non-traditional. FUN FUN FUN was all I wanted. No sit down dinner, great music, delicious food and of course lots of cocktails. Oh and wedding colors? Leopard print. Leave it to Lo to pull all of that together into a classy, extravagant affair that I am positive none of my guests will ever forget. And the best part? I was never stressed once. Not once. That is how good Lo and team are. I could seriously go on and on but a written review will never her work justice. Thank you Lo for the most amazing wedding day and for making the planning process painless and dare I even say fun! Let’s do it again next year 

    My husband and I had already started planning our wedding when we realized we needed professional help, and we are so glad we found Lo! She helped sort out what we had already planned, and guided us through the rest. She was so wonderful to work with. Lo was always organized, friendly, creative, and honest (in the best way), and she always communicated promptly and clearly. Our wedding was so beautiful, fun, and more amazing than we ever imagined it could be, and we have Lo and her team to thank!

    Lo is a PHENOM.
    From start to finish, Lo guided us expertly, thoughtfully, and with kindness and humor through our wedding planning process. She worked tirelessly to understand my husband's and my personal style and goals for our wedding, and she executed our shared vision more beautifully than we ever could have imagined.
    Forever grateful to Lo, our superhero and true BOSS planner, for leaving us with the happiest, warmest and fuzziest feelings about our wedding and the entire process leading to it.

    Lo is amazing! She listens to you about what your perfect wedding would look and feel like, and then she makes it come true! Her design was beyond what I ever imagined. The look and feel of my wedding fit my Husband's and my style and personality perfectly. I also love how you feel like you are the ONLY client she has. The attention to detail and personalized service was impeccable.

    Lo was an absolutely amazing wedding coordinator. She is a true professional: very organized, classy, competent, and thoughtful-- a true pleasure to work with. Before the wedding, Lo coordinated meetings with our venue's production and catering staff and produced a really helpful and detailed day-of timeline. She was SO helpful and a huge asset on our wedding day. All our vendors loved working with her. Our wedding day went really smoothly with Lo as the train conductor. She took care of all the logistics and details so we didn't need to worry about anything. She also ran an absolutely superb rehearsal the day before. It was very well organized, structured, helpful, and was the best rehearsal out of all the weddings rehearsals I've been to. The entire wedding party was very impressed. Lo is great with people and even bonded with a vendor over their shared love of dogs. We were really happy with Lo Event Design. We went with Lo after chatting with an enthusiastic out-of-town previous couple who had Lo plan their entire wedding at our venue (and she was also highly recommended by both the catering and operations staff at our venue). We offer our most enthusiastic recommendation for Lo after our wonderful experience working with her. Hire Lo if you don't want any worries during your wedding day, she makes things happen and gets things done! Two big thumbs up!

    Lo made our day absolutely perfect! Every single detail was thought through and it made the planning process and wedding day seamless. She helped design a wedding that was beautiful, elegant, and suited my husband and I. We got nothing but positive feedback from all our guests and there isn't a single thing I would change about the entire process with Lo and her team. Lo is extremely detail oriented and I couldn't thank her enough for her hard work in making our day perfect! I highly recommend her and her team!

    Lo was truly one of the best decisions we made during our planning process. Originally skeptical of hiring a wedding planner, Lo made her value known at our first meeting. Not only is she professional, organized and creative, but she is kind, patient and attentive to all of her clients. All of our guests commented on how the whole evening truly reflected "us" as a couple, and this was all thanks to Lo and the amazing vendors she guided us to. We were both able to relax and take in the magical day thanks to Lo's exceptional composure and attention to detail - we knew nothing was overlooked. Our wedding day was everything and more thanks to Lo and her amazing design team. To any future couples looking to hire a wedding planner, Lo is the obvious choice.

    Extraordinary! We live in Florida and were planning a full weekend wedding for our daughter on Cape Cod. We had no local contacts so we needed to depend heavily on our planner. The wedding was perfect in every way and we owe that to LoLo Event Designs! Perhaps as important though was that we all had a wonderful time in the planning. Lo McShay really knows her business. She guided us in choosing outstanding vendors for music, flowers, invitations, etc., etc. She gave us a realistic budget and then adhered to it scrupulously. She communicated well and let us know what we needed to do at every turn. She was enthusiastic about our daughter and her fiancé's choices and worked hard to make their wedding dreams come true. When she thought we might be headed down the wrong path, she let us know with sensitivity and respect. Lo has great taste and sound judgment. Her work ethic is superb. (She had a baby three weeks before the wedding and never missed a beat!) She is fun to work with as well! Lo earned our total respect, admiration and fondness during the ten months we worked with her. I demand the highest standards and Lo surpassed every expectation we had! She is truly the greatest wedding planner I could ever imagine.

    Lo McShay and the entire LoLo Event Design staff were fantastic. Our wedding would not have been the magical day that it was if it weren't for their involvement. Lo's expertise goes so much further than just Event Planning. She helped my husband and I land on a design aesthetic that we were looking to accomplish for the day. From there, she brought in all the right vendors in order to translate the ideas into reality. Every one of her partners (lighting, tenting, catering, etc.) were first class and her relationships with them helped us to know that we were getting a great value. I would not plan another event without brining on the LoLo Event team.

    Lo and Kelly from LoLo Event Design were absolutely amazing to work with! Lo's vision for my wedding and perfect execution made it a true fairy tale. It was more wonderful than I could have ever imagined, and she thought of so many touches that really made the day unique (despite the fact that I constantly challenged her to find things that were off beat or atypical). She allowed me to give input on the overall creative vision, and then she was able to use her expertise to shape it into something magical. Lo had every single detail plotted out from day one, and I never had to worry about a thing. She was very clear about budgets and timelines so there were never questions about what was next (or what I'd have to pay for next!). Lo was there every step of the way helping choose dresses, invitations, linens, etc. and even did a site visit all the way in Michigan. When it came time for the wedding weekend, Lo was having a baby (!!) so her assistant Kelly took over the final event production seamlessly and flawlessly. It ensured that all I had to do on wedding day was show up and everything was taken care of. If I ever needed event planning services in the future, I would definitely go back to Lo to ensure the event was over-the-top spectacular.

    When you look for a wedding planner and or wedding designer you want to look for the best. Well I found the best in Lo. From the first meeting at the BPL event to the after the wedding she has been amazing. She worked with me and within the framework of what I wanted my wedding day to look like. She was able to put just the right touches in place, like the escort cards on leafs and then hang them with cloth pins to twinge between ladlers. What a believerable design. Each table was different but with the same fall theme and them all looks great. The table numbers where calendars of important dates of ours, my husband and mine, relationship. She was there to help set up and stayed even after the party started, just to make sure everything was in place and going great.
    When you are having special moments in your life, you want people around you that make everything great and you want someone who will also not just be a professional but someone you can rely on. I know she will be an important part of my life in the future as a good friend.

    We were extremely pleased with LoLo Event Design. Lo McShay is a multi-talented professional -- client-oriented, pro-active, financially saavy and responsible, etiquette saavy, and always has the best interests of her client in mind. When planning a wedding this can mean juggling various interests, passions and family dynamics. She does it all, with great skill and style!

    Lo has an unparalleled professionalism about her that is rare to find in someone as early on in their career as she. Partnered with her attention to detail and appreciation for any size budget, Lo has an incredible heart. She has a passion for wedding planning and truly cares for each one of her brides and their families.

    Throughout my engagement, Lo was a constant source of creativity, inspiration, advice regarding the management of in-laws and emotional support. As my wedding day approached, I knew that regardless of what occurred, Lo was going to make my wedding day spectacular. She did that plus more! She fulfilled every one of my dreams and I truly miss our daily (read: multiple times a day) phone calls and emails. I am so lucky to call Lo the most amazing wedding planner I've ever met AND a very, dear friend for the rest of my life. Anyone would be blessed to have her.

    Lo is amazing! I truly was able to have my dream wedding come true because of Lo and her wonderful team. She is so much fun to work with and at the same time she is very organized and diligent, always keeping budget and timing in mind. She is so professional and compassionate about her work. She made me feel so special and I felt as though I was her only bride! She has a fabulous sense of style and beautiful esthetic vision. I loved all her ideas! On my wedding day I felt no stress knowing that I had Lo there for me, making sure everything was done perfectly. Everything went so smoothly, and my husband and I were able to really enjoy our special day together. I don't know what we would have done without her. Plus, everyone kept telling us it was the best and most beautiful wedding they've ever been to and I believe its all because of Lo. You can truly count on Lo to do an amazing job!

    Lo was terrific. Saved us money, kept us on budget and created an event that was truly memorable. She is very responsive. Good at making suggestions that improve the product. The vendors she recomended were all professionals. We could not have done this on our own. I recommend her highly.

    Lo was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was understanding, helpful, and always there to help, whether it be a big decision or a small silly question. Lo helped me to hone in on what my vision was for the wedding, and was able to execute it to a T, all while keeping us on budget. She provided creative ideas for our wedding that really fit our style and her DIY projects were an added bonus. I highly recommend Lo for your next event. I know I'll be using her services again in the future!

    Lo and her team provided phenomenal event planning, execution, and design. I highly recommend them and can’t wait to work with them again! We met Lo, and saw her in action, towards the end of our wedding planning process as she planned, soup to nuts, my brother’s wedding and it was superb! My Mom and I were doing everything ourselves, and we decided to work with Lo for month of logistics and design element incorporation. She and her team are an absolute pleasure, and in hindsight we wish we connected with her at the start as she truly loves weddings and is gifted with art and design, overall orchestration, finishing touches and was just awesome! Lo was a phenomenal listener and went above and beyond to translate what we were looking for into our wedding reception that far exceeded our expectations! As Lo says “you guys” (me the bride, my husband the groom and our families) are the VIP’s!” Thanks to Lo and her team we were able to enjoy everything as our wedding unfolded, our guests, dinner, dancing, cocktails and all of the love that was surrounding us, as we knew LoLo Event Design was on top of everything! I highly recommend Lo and her team, they are an absolute pleasure to work with!

    Lo was able to expertly guide us through all aspects of our wedding planning - which included 200+ guests, many from out of town, a short planning timeline, and not an unlimited budget. She helped us make decisions not solely based on emotion or being swept up in "it's our wedding day". She was always vigilant in keeping us to our budget and timeline as we balanced the many decisions that have to be made. Lo and her team were amazing at executing every detail of our wedding day and transformed the space into OUR space. She took the time to get to know us as a couple and incorporate our story, likes and dislikes which made the day feel even more amazing. You can count on Lo to get the job done...she will never make you feel like there is anything else going on in her company or life that is more important than your wedding day. Both the time and especially the money we saved in using Lo, her vendors and recommendations turned out to be invaluable. Using LoLo Event Designs was the best investment we could have made in our wedding. Plus, she is a lot of fun to work with and have at your side the day of the wedding.

    Lo was amazing. I cannot recommend her highly enough. She was the planner for my daughter's wedding. We had it at my sister-in-law's home (beautiful, nestled in the woods). I must have had 100 people (no kidding) tell me it was the most amazing wedding they ever went to. That is was enchanting. My daughter wanted a vintage, casual, fall wedding. One of the ideas Lo had was to have the seating (in the yard) be hay bales (with drapes) and vintage church pews. My daughter had a vision of what her perfect wedding would be...and Lo made that vision come true....to the smallest detail. She is detailed oriented, fierce about getting you the best prices, responsive, has a wonderful sense of style....I can go on and on. All you have to do is have one conversation with you and you will be sold. Book her now if you want a perfect event!

    I don't know how we would have survived wedding planning without Lo. She was able to help us envision the perfect design for us as a couple. The actual wedding day went so smoothly and was stress free, all thanks to Lo and her team.

    Please look elsewhere

    We used LoLo Design on the recommendation of our venue after our original wedding planner had a family conflict arise with COVID and had to cancel. While elements of our wedding turned out beautifully (e.g., food, lighting, paper product) we strongly believe that the fee charged is not a fair price for the quality of the services we received. COMMUNICATION/CLIENT MANAGEMENT: Our families were treated with little respect which is first and foremost our greatest grievance. Clients are difficult to manage and everyone has different family dynamics, but we were met with a short temper and visible frustration during several touchpoints. Furthermore, several scheduled touchpoints were missed entirely by Lo without prior notice. One vendor even questioned whether Lo was still our event planner as she had gone for so long without hearing from her. ATTENTION TO DETAIL (sample challenges include): Lo sent out invitations completely incorrectly, (addressed only to the men), which caused embarrassment and confusion and we were met without an apology for the error. Seating cards and final headcount were tallied incorrectly the week of the wedding and the bride had to reconcile documents to the appropriate headcount. According to our videographer they were not confirmed for the rehearsal prior to the day of the event and; therefore, did not show up. DAY OF EXECUTION: No staff member was assigned to the bridesmaids or groomsmen to organize them the day of the event. No schedule was printed or emailed to these individuals despite direct requests at the rehearsal. As I’ve seen in the market, similarly priced planners arrive with teams and printed schedules to keep everyone in line. When the venue couldn’t not figure out where to deliver the bouquet, my bridesmaids ran around to figure it out, since there was no way to get in touch with Lo on the day of the event. There is no cell service at the venue and she did not arrive with a plan to mitigate, despite having worked there before. When my dad's boss arrived to check-in he was turned away and told he did not have a room. He clearly had a house assigned on the document. With better communication access and command over the guest list, this would have been avoided, but alas it landed on the bride. No wedding is perfect, and small things go wrong, but items certainly fell off (e.g., bathroom baskets did not make it into the bathrooms, bouquet didn’t make it to the aisle)

    Overall, I cannot stress this enough - Lo did not deliver a quality of services that warranted her fees.
