TESTIMONIAL

"Where do I even begin… If you are looking for a wedding planner, your search is over! Lauren is an absolute dream.

She helped me plan not one, but TWO perfect weddings. After working together for a few months we very quickly planned my dream wedding. She understood my vision right off the bat and helped put together the most perfect team of vendors. We were then thrown a curveball, when my then fiancé and I found out we are expecting a little girl! We decided to move up our wedding 8 months, and Lauren welcomed this challenge without hesitation. I was disappointed that I wasn’t going to see the wedding we planned come to life, but this new wedding was the definition of perfection. Every last detail was exactly as I dreamed it would be, and it is all thanks to Lauren. She communicated with everyone and made sure this process was as stress free as possible for us. If you are looking for someone who will go above and beyond to make your vision come to life, and has the resources to do so, Lauren is your girl. We are forever grateful, and will be recommending her to any and everyone!"
