Working with Lara at The Lil Things Events was an absolute game-changer for my wife's 40th birthday…read morecelebration in Las Vegas. From the very beginning of the planning process through the execution in 3 months, Lara demonstrated an incredible talent for high-end, detail-oriented event production. What truly set Lara apart was her ability to manage a large, complex group while maintaining a deeply personal touch. Planning a "Luxury 40th Weekend" for 45 guests is no small feat, but she handled every logisitical hurdle with grace--from securing the perfect room blocks at the Cosmo to coordinating a flawless private dinner that catered perfectly to our vegetarian requirements. Lara has a brilliant eye for design. She made the weekend feel uniquely special, and the "Vegas Survival Kits" were such a thoughtful touch for our guests. She managed the hair and makeup styling, floral arrangements, and, party buses and nightlife bookings with such precision that I was able to actually enjoy the celebration rather than managing the clock. If you are looking for a planner who can take a vision of and turn it into a seamless, stress-free reality, I cannot recommend Lara highly enough!

I don't even know where to start. It is impossible to say enough good things about Lara and her…read moreincredible team at The Lil Things Events. She was such a joy to work with. Her attention to detail is the best I have seen in any business (I guess that's where they get the name "The Lil Things" from...). Her designs are unmatched. She works with couples to truly understand what they want (even when the two partners don't always agree themselves :P ), and design a one-of-a-kind experiences that blows their expectations out of the water. During our initial call with Lara...my wife and I were all over the place. We told her we wanted a "Disco in the Desert" theme. My wife raved about pops of vibrant colors, whereas I brought up a ton of desert neutrals. Within weeks, Lara somehow turned around a design board that met ALL of our very chaotic requests. She brought our dream wedding to life in a way that I really think nobody else ever could. Her floral work is beautiful, her designs are amazing, and her personal touch is outstanding. Beyond her designs and creativity, Lara is also SO organized and responsive. She has everything under control, and keeps your mind at ease when you start to spiral with all the planning. She responds nearly immediately to emails and texts, and works tirelessly to meet your needs. The day before our wedding, we had an unfortunate circumstance where our initial photographer cancelled on us. Within 2 hours, Lara had 6 other options for us lined-up ready to support the next day. All 6 options aligned beautifully with our vision, and we can tell she put time into finding the right options for us, as opposed to throwing every business at us during this fire drill. The crisis was solved within hours due to Lara's skill, her connections in the Vegas area, and her drive to meet the couples' needs and pay attention to their vision. Do yourself a favor and book Lara and TLT for your wedding!!!!

The only one constructive side I would add is during the wedding, some of the items seemed to slip up, so a little more control would be good, but I also understand it was very dynamic and we had some very special guests that required different handling. Thank you, Regina, to both you and your team for pulling it together.

All I have to say is 2 ceremonies and out of state. That should be enough to make a wedding about…read moreas difficult as you can make it. Seriously, I don't know how Paulina did it, but she was absolutely freaking amazing. We live in San Francisco and our wedding was at the Red Rock Resort in Las Vegas, and man oh man, was this an easy wedding for us to plan. My husband was skeptical at first about hiring a planner in general and I told him there was NO WAY that we could do this by ourselves out of state. Finally he agreed and we hired Paulina. When I started researching wedding planners, I was all over the internet. Between Yelp, theknot.com, weddingwire.com, etc.etc. I was all over the place emailing people left and right. Not only was Paulina quick to respond, but once I saw her prices, I was like wow...she's quick and affordable. I'm the type of person that likes instant gratification, so when I saw that she responded the same day, I was like ok, (hopefully) she will probably be like this the whole way through the process. AND SHE WAS. We had 2 ceremonies, one Indian and one Persian. We had to have 2 separate tables set up for our ceremonies and we had to do both of them in an hour. Yes. I said 2 ceremonies in one hour. We had the Indian ceremony from 4-4:30, had a 30 minute dress change and then the Persian ceremony was from 5-5:30. We had one rehearsal with ALL the family members and let me tell you. Paulina is on point when it comes to picking up tension..lol. My mom tried to change things up at the last minute and Paulina would look over at me and see my expression and knew INSTANTLY that I did not agree with my moms ideas. She just went right with it and took it with a grain of salt and made sure to tell me afterwards "We will not do ANYTHING without your approval." And she did exactly that. We also needed to have 2 separate Priest's. One for each ceremony, and of all the things we had to deal with, seriously that was our only hick-up through the planning. There were not enough options to choose from but eventually she found what we needed and took care of everything for us. All we needed to do was just wait for her options, go over pricing, and once we liked it we just mailed a check over. Easy. We also listened to her recommendations. Moxie Studio did our photos and we absolutely loved them. DJ Shai was our dj and he was great. Though we had a few issues that came up, but Paulina was on top of it IMMEDIATELY. Seriously, anytime we had a problem with someone, I would just forward the email to her and she would immediately take care of it. During the reception, she was our bodyguard. She made sure that the servers served us first before everyone else and that no one talked to us for to long while we were eating. I literally saw her from the corner of my eye watching her keep an eye out for anyone that would be interrupting our dinner. She didn't mind people talking to us, but she made sure that if it was taking to long, that she would just stand closer to us and say "Please let them eat"..lol.. I loved that. She was also our security guard. There were 3 other weddings going on and someone happened to walk into our reception and she made sure to take care of it. She is also Mrs. Fix it. I bought some stupid cheap hoop slip and apparently right before I walked in to our reception the metal hoop came undone and was trailing behind my dress! Paulina and Tara were in the bathroom with me trying to figure out the best way to fix it and Paulina ended up cutting out the entire metal hoop portion of my slip and away I went! lol.. I couldn't say enough about Paulina and her team. They are amazing. I know our wedding was too much for everyone to deal with because we had 2 different cultures involved but, everyone did a great job to make it one of the best weddings ever. Everyone had the time of their lives, and it definitely could not have been done without her. If you're thinking twice about hiring her, your crazy. You are definitely missing out. If my perfect wedding wasn't difficult enough then I don't know what you are expecting. She is definitely a part of our lives forever. Thank you Paulina!!!

I really doubted the need for a wedding day coordinator. I mean, that's what the Matron of…read moreHonor/Bridesmaids are for, right? But when I was just a couple of months away from my wedding, I began to get nervous and my catering vendor recommended Paulina to me. Within minutes of our phone conversation I knew I had to hire her. In fact, I think she was the best decision I made! Even my Matron of Honor, who is skeptical by nature, thought she was a godsend. Where do I start? My wedding and reception were held in October at Mandalay Bay. From my very first conversation with Paulina she kept in constant contact, going over schedules, activities, entertainment, answering my million-and-one questions, and even sent me a Las Vegas post card a week before the wedding to say she was excited about the big day--nice touch! On the morning of my wedding she came into my suite while I was getting ready and began setting up and decorating the room. She moved furniture. She draped and bedazzled the tables. She directed hotel staff. She kept track of time. At one point she even stopped--midstream--to retrieve my dad from another floor of the hotel and escort him to the chapel so we could have our "first look" with the photographer. Our post-ceremony activities included a double decker bus tour. Paulina kept everything on track, escorted the guests to the bus, then stayed behind to complete setup of the suite for the reception and allow the caterers to prepare their tables. When the tour was finished, she was waiting curbside to help the guests off the bus and escort them to our suite for cocktail hour while the groom and I continued to have our pictures taken. Once we made it back to the room, she made sure we had drinks in our hands and fresh plates of food to eat. Looking back, I did not have to worry about a single thing the entire day! Paulina was there from start to finish, making sure everyone was where they were supposed to be when they were supposed to be, making sure the vendors were paid and appropriately tipped (I gave her the money when she first arrived so she could take care of this task for me), keeping things organized, and even helping with cleanup! I'm not sure she ever got a chance to sit down to rest. I cannot say enough good things about Paulina. She is definitely a pro at her job and I would recommend her to anyone without hesitation!

There's so much to consider: the food, the flowers, the venue, the colors, open bar, the music, vendors, invitations, your guest list...I can go on for days. It's a process that can be so difficult to get through without the help of someone who knows what he or she is doing. Luckily for my new husband and I, Amanda was there for us every step of the way through the day of our wedding. She helped us sort through what was most important based on our deadlines, turned our focus away from the less relevant items we easily became caught up with, answered all of our questions, volunteered to handle some of our calls with the venue, and made some remarkable recommendations to ensure the wedding was fun for ourselves and our guests. The greatest part is that she did all of this was a beautiful smile on her face every step of the way. I don't know how we would have gotten through the 12-month process of wedding planning without her, and I would definitely not recommend anyone trying to do so without the help of Amanda. You're a beautiful person inside and out, Amanda, and made our wedding day a memory we will hold onto forever. Thank you for helping us plan a beautiful wedding and giving our new marriage just the right start.

She started sending us vendors and recommendations while staying on top of our budget. We went from being overwhelmed to feeling happy and at ease with her knowledge and advice. She listened to our ideas and executed our vision exactly the way we wanted it, actually even better. On the wedding day, she planned the timeline perfectly in order for us to follow and made sure vendors confirmed a few days before. She was on top of everything during the wedding and made sure everything was going as planned. We were so fortunate to have her plan our wedding.

She's a mom & handled the wedding party kids fantastically. She's very well respected in the wedding industry, yet humble. She's fabulous & fun. I couldn't imagine our day without her coordinating florists, decor, music, humans, kids, artist, photogs, video crew, DJ... the only thing we left out was a tiger but I'm sure she could have managed that too. She helped with moral support, ideas, appointments, etc. My husband is extremely busy & my family lives out of town so she was literally my wedding planning partner & it was stress free. She kept me on track with polite pressure to get major to-dos done on time. It was exactly what I needed. I highly recommended Green Orchid. You'll be lucky to have Angelica & her crew on your team.
