We are so happy we had Lydea and the team from Sophisticated Events at our wedding. I had wanted to plan and carry out the whole wedding on my own, but everyone kept telling me I would want a day of coordinator. We picked this group and are SO HAPPY we did. She did much more than just "day of" coordinating in my opinion. She met with us well in advance to make sure she know what was going on and what else we needed. We had a large wedding party, including 6 small children, and somehow the wedding went perfectly. I have no idea how the wedding actually started on time, but Lydea was moving everyone around in the background the whole time, insisting that I just enjoy the day (and the whole week really). From the beginning, she pointed out areas that I hadn't even thought of, asked much more direct, detailed questions than I would have when we met with the venue, and made sure that all of the vendors prioritized what I wanted. I could go on about the other things she did that I thought were above and beyond what she signed up for, but I'll just say that I think she is the reason that I look back now and feel like our wedding was perfect and stress free, and I think she is worth much more than what she charges!

Absolutely fantastic and made our day 100% stress free!
“Above and beyond” is an understatement when it comes to Lydea and her team. From over a year out, she was in contact and always ready to help me with my questions, find and recommend local vendors (who were all also fantastic) within our budget, and work with them to make our wedding day go without a hitch. As we were planning from a small distance, her coordination with vendors and the venue was a massive lift off of our shoulders. The entire event was right on schedule, completely efficient, and we had a blast. I was completely relaxed the day of the wedding, because I had complete confidence that everything was in good hands. We can’t think Lydea enough for all the hard work and assistance she provided on our wedding day, and we cannot recommend her enough to anyone looking for wedding planning and coordination services!

Lydea is amazing!
She did what I could not. I thought, I can do this and quickly realized, I am only one person and there is NO way I could pull this off and be a part of the wedding at the same time. Once I higher Lydea, she made it very clear that she had my back and that I could trust her to carry everything out. She did not disappoint. She gave my daughter, new son in-law and our families a beautiful wedding and took the burden off of my shoulders, so that I could enjoy the event with zero concerns. I just can't say enough. Thank you Lydea!!

Exactly what I needed!! Stress free bride!!
Outstanding service. Lydea and her team did a fantastic job ensuring our day went according to plan. Extremely organized, respectful, and diligent. I knew I could count her from day one! The moment I needed anything she was there ready to help. I appreciated her SO MUCH on our big day. I was a stress free bride on our wedding day in large part to Lydea and her team. I even had guests tell me how great she was!! 100% recommend Lydea and her wonderful team at Sophisticated Events.

Incredibly helpful and easy to work with
Lydea helped make the wedding planning process so easy and handled everything with ease on the day of. We didn’t have a traditional venue so having her handle the tiny details and large tasks was a huge help. Having her help with our wedding allowed me to fully enjoy the day with our friends and family.

Superb quality
Sophisticated Events provided excellent service. The attention to detail was important to me. She made my wedding day better than expected. I've used many event planning companies, but she has been the best so far. The communication is excellent.

Lydea was AMAZING....... She went above and beyond what we asked of her. She stayed on top of everything,and keep us on track. From speaking to vendors to breaking down contracts with them;She did it all. I had a very specific request for decorations and thi g I wanted and Lydea hit every single one. If your looking for an event planner look no further.

Look no further!
Sophisticated Events LLC. is top notch! Ms. Lydea Proctor is very professional. She does not miss any detail when it comes to planning the perfect event.
My wedding was on point! Ms. Proctor is very prompt and her goal is always for the event to start on time and run smoothly. All moving parts of the ceremony ran smootly. Her and her staff communicated well and did not get in the way of anything. You barely knew they were there.
Transitioning from the outside ceremony to pictures to inside reception was flawless. Ms. Proctor is very particular about how that happens and will give suggestions of how to make those transitions run smoothly. The reception was bomb.com. Everything that was lined up for that portion of the evening was on point. No detail was missed and we had a blast.
Overall, expect the best! I would book Sophisticated Events LLC. to plan any event that I have and trust that it will be just as flawless and special as my wedding day.
...no need to look any further than Sophisticated Events, LLC!!

Such a good experience. My fiancé and I were able to enjoy the day of our wedding without having to fix any problems that arose.
