What can I say about Lauren that would be able to do her justice. She put more work into our wedding than both of our families (that includes my wife and I) combined. She was with us through every step of the process, and even though she made her opinions know, she was very clear that this wedding was ours, and the decisions were ours as well. Once we made those decisions, she executed them in the most quick and efficient way possible. She is professional, kind, sweet, and will work within your budget. We paid for the wedding ourselves, and one of her best skills was coming up with creative ideas that were not only inexpensive, but beautiful too. People were shocked when we told them how much our wedding cost, and the reason it was so cheap was because of Lauren and all her great detail oriented, gorgeous ideas. So many people have told me it was the best wedding they have ever been to. Also, even though she is tiny and sweet, she isn't afraid to press vendors to give you the best deal possible. She literally paid for her services on the first meeting we had with her and our venue. I truly felt that she had our best interest at the forefront of everything she did. In short, without Lauren, our wedding wouldn't have been one tenth as beautiful, well done, and enjoyable as it was. Lauren, my wife and I can't thank you enough. You are a wonder. read more

I had the pleasure of working with Lauren from L4LOVE on a recent wedding at the JW Marriott LA Live. Throughout the planning process she was great in communication and was timely in responding. She was always sweet and happy and oh so helpful and informative. At the day of the wedding she put her heart and soul into the wedding and into her clients. She worked hard, efficiently, and always had a smile on her face. She is not only a hard worker but she's also creative and did a fabulous job coordinating every single detail. I would love the opportunity to work with Lauren and her team again in the near future. As far as wedding coordinating goes, this team is top notch and you won't regret adding them to your list of must-have wedding vendors. read more

We hired Lauren for the one-month coordinator package, and the L-4-Love team did not disappoint! From start to finish, her team was phenomenal. I first contacted Lauren about 1.5 years before our wedding day, and she was incredibly flexible and responsive to my inquiries and scheduling our initial conversation. We planned our Hawai'i wedding from the mainland, and so most of our communication leading up to the wedding was over email (we able to use her creative consultation a la carte service in addition to the one-month package), and her high level of responsiveness and professionalism sustained itself over the months before the big day. When we were able to sit down with Lauren in person during the week before the wedding, Lauren was super thorough in making sure both my husband and I had everything covered and were aligned on the details and flow of the day. She covered every detail we could (and couldn't) think of, and on top of this was super friendly and laid back. On the day of, her and her team took care of everything so seamlessly and my husband and I were able to relax (and eat!) and enjoy the day. Highly recommend L-4-Love! read more

Having a solid event planner for any event is critical. We had the pleaseure of working with Lauren in Malibu this July and it was perfect. She made our job easier and I know all involved were better off with her in charge. Thanks Lauren! read more

Lauren was such a great person to work with! I was the makeup artist for one of her brides and she made sure everything ran smoothly. She was consistent with her email response and is very organized. Her personality makes speaking with her like she is one of your friends but she always maintained a very professional attitude. She was always smiling despite the stresses that come along with the wedding and I could see that really helped the bride relax and enjoy her special day. I could see that the bride and Lauren really bonded like best friends during the planning process. It showed when Lauren slipped into an orange dress the bride requested her to wear for a quick photoshoot. Although hesitant at first, she agreed and the bride was elated! This goes to show that she will literally bend over backwards for her clients. read more

My husband and I decided shortly after our engagement that we would handle the wedding planning and coordination on our own. We are both very organized professionals, and have a huge circle of family and friends in our corner begging to help out. Plus, we were on a very tight budget and figured it would be better to splurge elsewhere. Fast forward to a month before the wedding, stressed out to the max and feeling like we were driving all of our loved ones crazy, we decided to hire a day-of coordinator. Lauren and I received our business degrees together and I had seen on facebook that she started a wedding planning company. I contacted her for information, and that was the best decision I have made. Lauren's day-of coordination package is really misleading (it is SO much more). There was not a day in the month coming up to my wedding that we didn't talk. I felt like I took a dump truck full of stress and put it all onto her. She is glued to her email and is an excellent communicator. She asked the questions that either I hadn't thought of or I hadn't said out loud. She worked closely with all of my vendors (and family/friend helpers), ironed out every possible detail, and even gave us a few surprises on the wedding day. We were shocked that she seemed to be everywhere we were, ready and waiting to tell us what was next. The ease of mind she provided on my wedding day is intangible and priceless. And trust me: I was one of those crazy stressed brides before meeting her. I highly recommend Lauren and her services. I will pass her information along to anyone I know planning an event. read more

Lauren is the most amazing wedding planner! I cannot say enough good things about her and her team at L-4 Love. She is incredibly organized and responds quickly (usually the same day!) to any questions my mom and I had during the wedding planning process. My wedding day turned out spectacularly and without a single hiccup largely because of her. She was also able to contribute some great ideas that made my wedding vision come true. She thinks of everything and her attention to detail is incredible. Lauren is a very kind and caring person on top of everything else, which makes her a pleasure to work with. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, organized, kind and very competent wedding planner. read more

I can easily say that hiring Lauren and the L-4-Love team as our wedding coordinator was one of the best decisions that I have made for our wedding. From the moment I contacted her for questions regarding her packages and our planned date over a year and a half in advance and the way she responded and how prompt she was, I already knew that I was going to be in great hands. I found L-4-Love and the amazing reviews through Wedding Wire and Yelp and I can now speak for myself that all of her great reviews are one hundred percent accurate. I chose the two month out package and even then, Lauren was still always available to guide me and check up on me months before the two month mark came! Her prices are very reasonable and she is so organized and thorough. On the day of our wedding, I met her team and they were equally kind and professional. Everything was on schedule and went as planned without me having to think of anything. Lauren covers literally every detail and things that I never would have thought of if I planned a wedding on my own. What's crazy is looking back, I can honestly say that I wasn't even asked one real question that day.. besides if I wanted more champagne, more food on my plate, and if I was okay. Lauren helped me to have the wedding we've always envisioned and is the reason for us having the most perfect day. It was the absolute best day of our lives and one I'll never forget thanks to L-4-Love. read more

Lauren and her team were great. I had Lauren take over 6 weeks out and I'm really glad I did. She followed up with all of the vendors and made sure everything was set the weeks leading up to the wedding. This gave us the time to really focus on our guests and any last minute details. What was really impressive, however, was one of our vendors completely spaced and had the wrong day (their fault not Lauren's). Lauren not only stayed calm but got the best resolution possible given the situation. It really showed her ability to think on her feet and deal with unforeseen problems. Definitely qualities you want in a planner! read more

My husband and I really enjoyed working with L-4-Love at a wedding this past July. Lauren was so calm and organized, keeping everything running smoothly. She always had a smile on her face! read more

Lauren and her L4Love team are the BEST out there!!! Once we set our wedding date I contacted L4Love right away since I knew they are always in high demand and we were so lucky they were available We booked Lauren for the "2 month out" planning yet it was like she guided us and put us on the right track from the very beginning providing us with all the to-dos and awesome recommended vendors. Lauren is everything you want your wedding planner to be! She is so sweet, friendly, approachable, personable, very organized, detail oriented, prompt, responsive, knowledgeable and flexible--which makes working with her easy breezy and gives you the assurance that you are in GOOD HANDS! From the 2 months mark, Lauren was the main point of contact for our vendors and made sure all the fine details were smoothed out and the set up was exactly what we had envisioned for our big day. Her timelines are amazing and gives you and your wedding party a feel for how the day will pan out since it's a very long day yet everything goes by in a flash! The most common reminder/tip I received from people prior to the wedding was don't expect everything to go perfectly on the day of your wedding but just enjoy the moment! If something is not how you imagined it to look or be, don't fret because only you will know. So I had that in mind ...However, the day/night of our wedding was so incredibly and perfectly smooth!!!!! We felt relaxed and had so much fun with family and friends--I didn't want it to end! All in all, we couldn't have done any of this without the guidance and hard work of LAUREN (and her team). She is truly amazing at what she does!!! read more

Lauren and the entire L-4-Love team will NOT disappoint! I will preface this review by saying that I am a pretty organized, party-planning savvy person, but I knew that planning my wedding (to take place back home in Hawai'i) while living in San Diego was going to take some expert assistance. I hired L-4-Love for full service wedding coordination as a wedding gift to myself (and for my sanity), and now that the day has come and gone, I 100% stick by my decision to do so. From their preferred vendor lists, to detailed spreadsheets for budgeting, guest lists, and day-of timelines, their rental inventory, and just an overall outstanding level of communication and support, L-4-Love was on point. Not to mention that Lauren and her team are all so personable and always willing to go the extra mile. The L-4-Love team was able to keep this "type A" bride calm and organized and I got my wish of being able to fully enjoy my wedding day without worrying about the details. I would, without hesitation, recommend L-4-Love for your future wedding planning needs. read more

When I first engaged to my husband, I thought I was capable to plan the wedding party by myself. However, the more research and study I did, the more stress I am putting on myself. Having a perfect wedding day, there's so much detail! What I mean detail is you should have plan A and plan B. However, being the bride of the day, you are super busy already. You have millions of things to do like finish your makeup, hairstyle, nails, taking endless pictures with guests etc. You will have no time at all to handle everything by yourself! I am so glad to have Lauren and her team helping us for our wedding day. Their team step in the last 2 months of our wedding. They have awesome vendors lists where there's note for each vendor from the past experience. It helps a lot for deciding which vendors to go with. Also, when it comes to setting up the timeline for the wedding flow, there's more detail than I can imagine. Lauren did a great job on marking down detail and having a plan B ready. She will ask you questions that may appear on the wedding day in the consultation sessions and make note what you want them to do if it happens. Its so helpful and grateful that they prepared for it and make your wedding day stress free and smooth. Besides, on the actual wedding day, there's always some issue appear, and you need someone to solved the problem immediately. For example, when the pipe and drape was set up, Lauren noticed that it was very sheer. As at the invoice, it is a sheer draping, but it did not look good. Luckily, Lauren decided to make a call to the rental company to see if they able to come back and change it. Since Lauren have a good relationship with the owner, he was nice enough to send a few of his crew back and they swapped it out for the thicker fabric which is what we used. He decided not to charge us for it, even though they did check back on old communications and it is what was ordered. Thanks to Lauren, the room looked very beautiful and elegant! I know it is costly to have a wedding planner. But they did more you can imagen in your wedding day, so I highly recommended Lauren if you need one! read more

We are so grateful to Lauren & the L-4-Love team! Our wedding day was flawless and beyond anything we imagined. When we first started wedding planning, we didn't know where to start. Thankfully we had Lauren who was there to provide us with guidance, recommendations, and was always quick to respond to any questions we had. Our wedding ended up falling on a hurricane weekend - thanks to Lauren and her team, our wedding still went on stress-free! She made sure to communicate with us and all our vendors so we were all on the same page. We couldn't recommend a better wedding planner and team ! read more

As a vendor, it was refreshingly pleasant to work with Lauren. Being a vendor, we don't always get treated properly and I feel it sets the tone for the day. She definitely understood the needs from my standpoint and the brides. lauren was wonderful. read more

"Last night I emceed my cousin's wedding and the coordinator was Lauren. In all my years of doing this she by far was the best coordinator I have ever worked with. If you're ever in need of a wedding coordinator please give her a call!! #bestever #L4love" Words of wisdom from my emcee, a professional in Hawaii radio for many many years. He was actually the one who told me to hire a coordinator because it would make life that much easier. I'm glad I took his advice and I'm glad I picked someone he liked! I can't compare Lauren and her team to anyone else, as this is my first time getting married and planning a wedding (lol)! I cannot imagine having done this with anyone else! Easily the best investment I made throughout the whole process. I really just wanted my friends and family to enjoy themselves that day and not have to worry about setting up and dealing with all my vendors. I would definitely recommend that everyone hire a coordinator, and most definitely this one!!! read more

We hired Lauren for day-of planning after the amazing work we had witnessed her do at a friends wedding. I could not have been more pleased with the decision to hire Lauren as our planner. She truly helped make our special day the BEST it could possibly be! Lauren is knowledgeable and organized; sweet and calming while authoritative when she needs to be. In the weeks leading up to the wedding she helped get me on the right track with all things necessary and brought many details of planning to my attention that I would have otherwise missed. I would recommend Lauren a thousand times over. read more

My daughter got married this past Memorial Day weekend. The bride and groom to be were in Chicago. IL, the wedding was in Yountville, CA (Napa wine country), I live in San Jose, CA and our wedding planner, Lauren in Los Angeles, CA. Sounds like a logistics nightmare? LOL... Not at all! My daughter Ashley went to college with Lauren Smith and said she'd take no other wedding planner...and rightfully so. She is organized, calm, patient, very creative, and her best moments are the day of the wedding. WOW !!! I didn't have a care in the world with her being there to orchestrate every little detail of the weekend. She helped with set up of all the "personal items" and took everything down and packed my car. She is a true professional. She had to deal with me - a complete perfectionist which isn't easy....and she did it with grace and the utmost professionalism and class. Lauren, is the sole reason why I thoroughly enjoyed my daughter's wedding weekend. I didn't have a care in the world other than to embrace and absorb every beautiful moment of my daughter's wedding weekend bliss. Lauren's rates are reasonable and she'll travel to you, so don't let distance be a hindrance to hiring her. She is THE BEST !!! Let her take the work and pressure off your shoulders so you can enjoy the ride as a bride or MOB !!! Thank you again Lauren! Love you! -Diane Doolittle read more

My wife and I had the pleasure of having Lauren Smith as our wedding planner for our May 2012 wedding. Lauren is truly amazing! She is very personable and friendly and always makes you feel like you are her top priority. She was always willing to meet with us, whether it was searching for floral vendors or meeting with our venue coordinator. She was excellent in her email communication, always quickly replying to our questions and concerns. She is always accessible to her clients and looking to do whatever she can for her clients. Lauren is very organized and detail oriented. Planning a wedding can be a very stressful time, but Lauren's organization eliminated all of our worries. She was the point of contact for our vendors and always gave us multiple options as we searched for various wedding vendors. She is always looking out for what is best for her clients and will always try to find the best deals to allow you to stay within your budget. The budget spreadsheet she created for us and her payment reminders helped us make sure that we were always mindful of our budget and were not late with any payments. The motto of L-4-Love is: "It's all about the details." I couldn't agree more. Lauren is a very creative person with a special eye for those "details" that make a wedding unique. She was always presenting us with new and fun ideas for making our wedding truly unique. We have received so many compliments from our guests on the unique details that Lauren helped us come up with, from the boarding pass escort cards to the table cards of the cities that my wife and I had visited together. Lauren even created the beautiful hairpiece my wife wore for the wedding. Lauren was truly a pleasure to work with. Both my wife and I are very "Type A", but we completely trusted Lauren and her team with bringing the wedding of our dreams to fruition. Her professionalism, organization, and attention to detail allowed our wedding day to run smoothly without any problems. Lauren is an amazing wedding planner and an even better person. We consider ourselves truly fortunate to have been able to have her as our wedding planner and a part of our special day. read more

Lauren was amazing to work with. I was originally only looking into her services for the day of our wedding but upon experiencing her professionalism, responsiveness and organizational skills I quickly changed my mind and upgraded to a full blown package. She was worth every penny and more. She was extremely sweet and so helpful with everything from researching vendors, negotiating contracts to bringing new ideas and creative suggestions to my attention. She truly cared about every little detail and ensured all our vendors were on a same page and understood what we had in mind. I highly recommend Lauren and her team for any event or wedding. read more

Our special day, the best day of our lives, would not have been possible without Lauren and L4 Love! 5 Stars over and over! To start, she brought quality and responsible vendors to the forefront for us to work with. Anyone that has planned a wedding knows that finding trustworthy vendors to rely on for your big day is stressful enough due to all the options in the LA area. She was knowledgable and experienced when it came to negotiating vendor contracts. We were most grateful for her organization, preparation, continued follow-up and proactiveness. Her attention to detail and strong work ethic gave us the confidence to just focus on each other, bride and groom, and be in the moment when the big day came. L4 Love = Stress Free Wedding. Her passion for helping people's dreams come true cannot be ignored. Combine that with her wonderful Aloha spirit and fun-loving attitude and you have found a wedding planner that can't be matched! L4 Love and their consulting and professional services are worth every dollar! read more

Lauren did such an amazing job for our destination wedding in Hawaii! We live in Vancouver, BC and we hired Lauren for a "Month of Coordination", and we're so thankful we did! After our first call, it was clear that Lauren is seasoned and knows the in's and out's of wedding planning. Even with the four-hour time difference, Lauren was quick to respond -- this was such a relief and made the process go smooth. I really cannot say enough good things about Lauren -- she's professional, has great planning insights and helped shape our special day to be just the way we wanted it. My husband was even exclaiming on our wedding day how much "fun" weddings are :) I'd highly recommend Lauren and the L-4-Love team! read more

L-4-Love surpassed all of our expectations. Our personal coordinator was Lauren Smith and we absolutely could not have found a better person for the job. It's weird to even say it was a job for her, because she treated our special day as if it was her own. We interviewed quite a few other coordinators, and they all charged very high and had so many stipulations about what they were and were not willing to do for us (ie. won't got to vendor meetings with us, only respond to emails twice per week etc.) Lauren was the exact opposite. She made it her mission to do as much as she possibly could for us, with no limitations. My husband and I are laid-back kind of people and felt overwhelmed just thinking about all the decisions we'd have to make for the wedding. There are so many little things we didn't even know we'd have to make decisions about, like what kind of box do we want at the gift table for the guests to put their gift cards in etc. Lauren thought of EVERYTHING! She's extremely detail oriented and unbelievably efficient. Weddings can be so expensive, but I think that by hiring Lauren we actually saved money. She has strong relationships with the vendors and did incredible research to save us money on everything from flowers, to vases, to seat covers and linens, to sound and lighting etc. We definitely could NOT have done it ourselves. A lot of coordinators will recommend you to certain vendors because those vendors are their friends or because they get kick-backs themselves for referring business. Lauren's only motivation was to get us the BEST QUALITY for the Best PRICE! And she did! Not only is Lauren super capable and professional, but she does it all with a smile! She's so sweet and kind, and after going through this process with her we consider her a friend. Lauren and her incredible teams service to us was a true GIFT! Do yourself a HUGE favor and give L-4-Love a call!!!! read more

Lauren is the best! She helped plan my destination wedding in Napa, CA. My wedding day could not have been more perfect and I know Lauren had a lot to do with how beautiful everything turned out. Lauren has a great eye for all the "little details" and it fantastic and creating schedules and timelines. She truly gets to know her Bride and Groom and it shows in the final product - Like I said my wedding was perfect and flawless. I have had several of my wedding guests tell me that my wedding was one of the most fun and most beautiful weddings they have ever attended. I highly recommend using Lauren; she will make your wedding dreams come true :) read more

To all the future brides, you must hire Lauren for your wedding! Most people who know me would say that I am very detailed and organized. When it came to planning our wedding I thought I would be able to take care of it. My husband had suggested that we look at hiring a planner just so it would take the stress off a bit but i didn't think we could afford it in our budget. Our venue was an outdoor location and we would have to bring EVERYTHING in ourselves so we decided that we would at least call around and see how much a day of coordinator would cost. I was in shock at the prices and the attitudes that we got. It seemed like because we didn't have a huge budget other companies weren't willing to work with us. A family member had recently gotten married and suggested that we get in contact with Lauren who had planned his wedding. That was the best decision we made! Lauren was very professional, quick to respond and friendly. We decided we would hire her as our day of planner but also to help us with our rehearsal and a few other things. Turns out she helped us with SO MUCH MORE! One of the main issues we were having was with our catering. We are both foodies and having good food was at the top of our list. We had gone through two other companies and were pretty much down to the wire (1 month before our date) and we still didn't have a caterer. I talked to Lauren about the situation and she quickly recommended a company that had just done a wedding the previous week with her. Not only did she recommend but she got us a tasting at the last minute and helped us with emails, calls and negotiating. I could go on and on about things that Lauren did for us but I would be writing all day. Bottom line is that if you think you can't afford or can do it yourself as I did, think again. The stress and anxiety that Lauren and her team took off of me is priceless. Our wedding turned out EXACTLY as we had hoped for. Lauren, we couldn't be more thankful!!!! read more

Lauren and her L-4 Love team are wonderful to work with! Lauren is very detail oriented and loves to give her clients and vendors like myself her utmost attention... can't wait to work with her again! read more

I had the pleasure of working with Lauren Smith this past Sunday (3/18/12), she did a great job with everything. I was the videographer for the wedding and it was nice having someone who made sure everything and everyone was on track. The wedding ran smoothly and the Bride and Groom thanked her at the end of the wedding saying "this wedding is exactly what we wanted and we couldn't have done it without Lauren." Trusting someone with your wedding is a big deal, so trust someone who cares and trust Lauren. I never write reviews but Lauren did a great job so I hope this helps someone when choosing the right Wedding Planner. read more

Originally like most brides I thought I didn't need a wedding planner, but when the decision/stress just got to be too much, I called Lauren and it was the best decision I made (except for the groom of course). I was excited to work with Lauren because from her website I knew she was young, modern and fresh. From my first meeting with Lauren, I knew I could trust her, she made me feel comfortable and stress less knowing my wedding would be exactly how I imagined it. She also won over my mother who would be involved in helping plan a California wedding from Arizona! Lauren was always available for you to pick her brain. As her website says, she provides unlimited consultation before the wedding and she means it! Any call, text or email I would send would be returned within minutes. Our Reception was 120+ at private residence in Malibu, CA and we were responsible for bringing in all the vendors, tables, decorations, linens, china.... (honestly the list could go on and on). We also got married in a near by church, so lots of logistics involved. She seamlessly coordinated all the vendors and beautifully executed an idea that was in my mind. Her ever-famous timeline was so detail-oriented and definitely made the day so smooth for everyone involved. Not once did she blink at a request or an extra thing put on the TO DO list. The day of the wedding I had three assistant planners because Lauren had another wedding (I knew this when I hired her), and they were all so wonderful and professional. At the end of it all, Lauren did way more than what I paid her for and I am so grateful. Lauren is a true professional; her attitude, work ethic, and dedication to her clients is obvious. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! - Joslyn and Taylor read more

What can I say....Lauren is the best! As a wedding photographer , I am used to having to go back and forth with the wedding planner and the client to get the timeline and shot list all set before the wedding but Lauren beat me to it! Not only did she contact me about 2 months prior to the wedding, she asked me what format I would like this information to be in. I was blown away! I forwarded her my template and she had it done and back to me at least a month before the wedding! She was so well prepared and easy to work with it made my job so stress free and easy! Come the day of the wedding, it was the same style...she was completely organized and on top of it that the day seemed to flow effortlessly despite all the design details she implemented to make the day really special to the bride and groom. Lauren, I can't wait to work with you again! And to see some images of Lauren's beautiful work check out - http://enlucephotography.com/napa-valley-wedding-at-the-villagio-inn-spa-vintage-estates-ashley-brian/ read more

Lauren planned my wedding on March 18th 2012 and all I can say is it couldn't have been more perfect! I always thought someday I could be married but I didn't have any concept of how my wedding would look like. So having someone like Lauren not only plan, coordinate, and organize my wedding but bring something to life that I could never on my conceptualize, was invaluable. From our first meeting and on I kept reiterating that I wanted my wedding to feel like a celebration of the union between myself and my husband and something too structured, and I got that and more. Also, like many couples out there both of us have full time jobs and planning a wedding is a full time job in of itself, and I often say left to own devices without Lauren I would have ended up having my wedding at the court house with McDonalds as the reception :-) I strongly recommend Lauren and her services. It's really important that you trust your planner to understand you and what is most important to you, and there was never a moment where I didn't know that about her. The proof was in the pudding when the day of my wedding came and when I saw it all come together. She's incredibly creative, personable and innovative in her approach. I had the best experience and am so thankful for the perfect day she gave me! read more

Having the opportunity to be taken care of by Lauren and the L-4-Love team was truly an invaluable gift! It was so comforting to have Lauren's help from the very start of our communications even though we were on a 2-month timeline including day-of coordination. We recommend outreaching to Lauren as soon as possible, since she can guide you in the right direction by providing detailed information based on her collective work, including a checklist of what's needed, when. Throughout the entire process, we were pleased to know that Lauren really 'got' the experience we were trying to provide with our ceremony and reception, and were assured that her management and organization would perfectly support that vision. We could not have imagined a better wedding experience, and Lauren's guidance, especially on the day of our wedding afforded us the utmost trust -- in knowing our guests, vendors, and both of us -- were in the best hands possible. read more

I had the honor having Lauren not only as my wedding planner but as a bridesmaid for my Cabo San Lucas destination wedding. This was her first out of the country wedding in Mexico and even though we may have gone through some struggles with the coordinator at the hotel, Lauren never let it get to her. She was able to arrange for all of my visions to be implemented even though we never met with a vendor, sampled any food or desserts, looked at any fabrics or decor up close (except for through pictures) or even personally saw the hotel that we had decided to get married at. In the end it was a day that I NEVER could have done by myself or been as creative without Lauren. It is pretty impressive that she is able to do all of this on her own; no team alongside to help her. I would have to say that no matter how much help you think you don't need or how organized you claim to be, having someone on your side who knows the smallest of details to the biggest decisions; like picking out your dress, Lauren is the perfect person to have there. Even just a consult is worth your time. Cause you don't know what Lauren has in store for the wedding of your dreams like she had for mine. read more
