Kelly Sent on 02/17/2025We couldn't have done it without Laura!
Laura was our day-of wedding coordinator, and she made our special day very stress-free! She was communicative, organized, professional, dependable, and overall a pleasure to work with. She was quick to answer questions and help us plan leading up to our wedding. She also attended site visits and communicated with our vendors and bridal parties. It was great to have Laura on our team to make sure everything ran smoothly! We truly had the best day ever thanks to Laura's help. -

Laura was wonderful! She answered our questions even outside of our official month of service, she was always so on top of everything quick to answer, and so accommodating of our every need! She made our wedding day go perfectly! Thank you Laura! -

Poor quality of service, wouldn't recommend
We were very disappointed in the quality of Laura's services and would recommend finding a different coordinator for your special day. Not only did we (bride & groom) see the poor quality first hand, but other vendors and our family that interacted with Laura also had poor feedback. The general theme was a lack of ownership and management of the wedding and services of other vendors, as well as lack of understanding of our wedding plans that she herself was supposed to be managing and enforcing. Her poor service led to the reception starting late, the wedding cake falling over, and the bride & groom getting no pictures with their guests. Specific details provided below:
-Despite guarantees and assurances that she worked with our venue closely on multiple occasions, she provided incorrect information of the type of decor we were allowed to use for our exit. We checked with the venue directly and they clarified that the information she provided was wrong.
-When asked to put up a sign to ensure guests knew which door of the venue to enter from, she asked the groom's sister to do it for her.
-Despite being at the venue walkthrough with the caterer and being CCed on email chains with the caterer, and despite the fact that she should have been managing this herself the day of the wedding, both the buffet and table settings were incorrect when we arrived and we had to personally speak to the caterer to get it fixed, as well as get our immediate family to leave our guests at the cocktail hour and physically help with the setup, ensuring the reception started late.
-Though she wasn't responsible for baking the wedding cake herself, another vendor informed her that the cake was tilting. Instead of informing the baker and having it fixed, Laura claimed "the bride and groom want it like that", which then led to the cake falling over before the reception started.
-Despite her responsibility of managing the family entrance for the reception, she stood by and watched while they entered with incorrect timing.
-Despite the caterer telling her the food was ready, she only opened one side of the buffet. When the father of the groom went to check, she claimed the food wasn't ready, and he had to go back to the caterer himself to make sure they let people use the buffet.
-Because the reception was delayed, the groom specifically told Laura to hold off until he told her to open the dance floor so the bride & groom would have time to take pictures with the guests. Despite this explicit instruction, she had the DJ announce the first dance so the bride and groom got no pictures with their guests.
-Despite it being her responsbility to manage the bride & groom exit, it fell to the family of the groom to direct people, pass out the petals, and organize the entire exit. -

I worked with Laura for about 2 years (thanks Covid), but every moment was fantastic. Laura was my coordinator and I don't think I could have survived the week before my wedding without her. I barely feel like I did anything that one week before and it was amazing. She was so sweet and professional (and dealt with any problems with ease). I really cannot stress how fantastic she was. Plus, she helped me so much even before she was "supposed to." If you're searching for a planner/coordinator I cannot recommend her enough! -

Claudia Sent on 11/23/2020Great service!
Thank you so much Laura for organizing our event and Sue for coordinating everything on our especial day. You were both amazing and made everything run smoothly. On the days building up to the wedding, the Coordinator meets with you and goes over every tiny detail of the wedding and add the day gets closer becomes the point of contact for all the vendors. Laura also helped with suggestions for different vendors and services and was always prompt to reply to all my questions. Due to covid and scheduling conflicts, our initial coordinator couldn't make it but instead she had an amazing person (Sue) coordinate our event on our actual wedding date! Sue did an amazing job and had every detail nailed down. Plus, she was so much fun!!! Thank you both!! -

Laura was great to work with. She helped me with everything from figuring out how many people per table to the timeline of the day. I used her services as a day-of coordinator. She helped me with whatever I had questions about and met with me as much as I needed her to. She gave me access to any references and resources she had available to her. I planned everything myself she just really helped to make everything run smoothly. She was amazing. -
