Lauren and her staff were so amazing for our wedding! Lauren worked around my husband and I's busy schedules to meet with us and make sure that we had all of our stuff in line for our wedding. She coordinated the entire day for us, and made it all go so smoothly. She made sure we stayed in budget, while also giving us the wedding of our dreams. I can not recommend Lauren Co Events enough! If you want a stress free wedding or event, this is the business to work with!

Lauren is the best wedding planner/coordinator there is! She is very knowledgeable and prepared. With her and her companies help our wedding was perfect and ran extremely smoothly. With out her our wedding wouldn't have been possible! We recommend Lauren Co Events to anyone and everyone!

Caitlyn from Lauren & Co was the lead coordinator from our wedding and WOW. We couldn’t have had a more perfect day!! She took on all the stress and hard work of our day so that we could just sit back and relax. She executed everything flawlessly!! She truly made our wedding perfect and was the sweetest to work with. Honestly, I don’t know how we would have done it without her. By far, she was the best vendor we booked. Thank you Caitlyn!!!

Lauren and her team deserve 10 stars if I could put it! I was at first on the fence about having a wedding planner, and I truly believe it was the best decision we could have made through this whole process. Lauren truly advocated for us and put our wants and needs first. We truly felt the love from her and her team from the first meeting all the way to the big day. I can honestly say I was especially sad when our meetings were over just because of how caring she was. Not only were her and her team amazing, professional, caring, and organized, but her talent and being able to create what we visioned our big day to look like was astounding! Our day would not have been perfect if it wasn’t for Lauren and her team!!

Choosing Lauren & Co Events for our day of coordinator needs was one of the best decisions we made during wedding planning! After just the initial short zoom call with Lauren, I already felt at ease. Even though we only chose the wedding day management services, Lauren encouraged us to reach out any time throughout our planning process if we needed help. I absolutely knew we made the right choice when we saw Lauren at a wedding vendor event, and she immediately recognized me, even though we'd only spoken for a short time several months earlier! She is extremely committed to the couples she is helping. We are also so grateful for Nicoletta, who we started working with closer to our wedding date! She was very accommodating with meeting times, listened closely to our vision, and answered all of our questions. She also helped us reach out to vendors during tricky situations. On the wedding day, Lauren and Nicoletta set everything up above and beyond our expectations! We had a brunch wedding, which means their time to set up was very limited, and they were still able to make our vision come to life! Throughout the day, they kept everything running smoothly and were so helpful as we moved around taking photos. They really made us feel taken care of! I cannot thank them enough for everything they did to help us throughout our entire planning process and wedding day! I definitely recommend hiring Lauren and her team!

We hired Lauren & Co for both our wedding planning and as a florist. The florals were great! Planning-wise, we had some issues.

From the start, there were issues with communication. We'd send an email asking questions about a process or a vendor, and wouldn't hear back from them for a couple of weeks at a time. This had happened multiple times. When we raised the issue with the team, we were told that they didn't see an issue with communication, but we can use a phone app for easier and quicker communication. Great, we were a little put off by the lack of accountability but happy to have come to a resolution.

We were also promised to have access to an event space planning software that would let us preview our reception layout virtually, but we never saw that.

Throughout the planning process, we had been clear with the team that, for our wedding cake, we were going to get a small, 8-inch cake just for the bride and groom. We wanted to do a private, cake-cutting photo shoot with just the two of us, and then save the cake for our 1-year anniversary. The day after the wedding, we went to pick up the cake only to find out that the cake was served to our guests. We had discussed our plans for the cake many times during planning and even the caterer had notes not to serve the cake. After checking with the catering team, they informed us that they were told by the Lauren & Co team to serve the cake. This was incredibly disappointing to hear, as we had made our intentions very clear from the beginning of the process what we wanted done with our cake. When talking to the Lauren & Co team about what had happened, there was a lack of initial accountability and no attempt to try and make things right.

Overall, the Lauren & Co team were nice and friendly people, and they definitely helped us out with some vendor recommendations, but issues with communication and a lack of accountability when they would make mistakes really soured our experience with them.

Lauren was an absolute life saver and I cannot rate her highly enough!! Not only does she provide exceptional service, but she is so fairly priced and the peace of mind she provided us with was invaluable! Throughout the entire planning process, she provided helpful advice and suggestions. She was always willing to hop on a call or meet in person when I was feeling overwhelmed and was so patient walking us through the details over and over again. Our wedding day went by without a single hiccup because of how well she planned it and coordinated it throughout the day. We never fell behind on schedule which made my extreme type A personality very happy 🙂 Logistically speaking, we had a lot going on during the day so without her, we wouldn’t have been able to transition as seamlessly as we did. Her assistant, Caitlyn, was not only extremely helpful but acted like a sweet, caring friend throughout the day. My bridesmaids and I all felt like we had known her forever! Lauren and Caitlyn were like family to us as they prepared for our wedding and celebrated with us. I will recommend Lauren forever to any and all my friends as they get married!! Thank you Lauren and Co. for being the best wedding planners we could have asked for!

Lauren went above and beyond in her service! We hired her as our day-of coordinator, but she ended up being soooo much more than that! When vendor relationships became rocky, she swooped in to help. When details weren't coming together as we'd hoped, she came to our rescue. Our vision for the wedding was unique, and we were afraid no one could bring it to life. We were, quite thankfully, dead wrong. Lauren took our vision and ran with it. Our event turned out to be truly magical, in no small part due to Lauren's work. We would recommend Lauren to anyone!
