Lauren's services were worth every dollar we invested. Her expertise, attention to detail, and dedication made the entire wedding planning process seamless. We found Lauren about a year and a half before our wedding day and booked her partial planning package. At that point, we already had our venue and photographer. Lauren helped us secure the rest of our vendors - from providing suggestions, to reaching out to multiple options for each vendor, to getting final contracts for us to sign. Lauren began working on our timeline from the beginning, and continually updated it with our input, vendor information as we booked, and additional details as the day came together. Leading up to the wedding, Lauren was organized, communicative, and available to help us throughout the process. She was so knowledgeable and made us feel at ease despite the stress that comes with planning a wedding. Where Lauren really blew us away was the weekend of the wedding. She led our rehearsal, had so many tips and tricks for our bridal party, officiant, and us. She was in constant communication with us leading up to the day so that we felt calm and confident. On the day of the wedding, Lauren really took control so we could just enjoy the day. She made sure our decor was picked up and set up the way we wanted, she worked with the vendors all day to ensure everything was running smoothly and on time, she kept the bridal party on schedule. When it came time for photos, she pulled out the shot list we had put together leading up to the wedding and made sure we got all the pictures we wanted to, calling off everyone's names for each picture, getting them lined up and in position. She constantly held my flowers, adjusted my veil, and made sure we were happy throughout the day. Lauren was waiting with us after we walked down the aisle leaving the ceremony with our specialty cocktails. She made sure we got a moment just for ourselves with our specialty drinks. She made sure guests signed our guestbook throughout the night, brought us drinks and coffee from our coffee cart that we booked. And then at the end of the night, she cleaned everything up, saved my flowers for me, and brought all of our decor to the hotel we were staying at. We thought she was amazing - even our family members, bridal party, and guests came up to us throughout the day to say how wonderful and on top of things our planner Lauren was. To say Lauren exceeded expectations is an understatement. She was phenomenal. Would recommend her to anyone and everyone!

Wedding Review!
We had the absolute best experience working with Lauren for our wedding day. From our first initial phone call to the actual day this past weekend, Lauren was helpful beyond words. She was so organized and communicative and left no questions left unanswered. Lauren’s communication with my vendors, myself, and our family did not go unnoticed. All of our decor details that she got put out for us looked absolutely perfect. We really cannot imagine our day going the way it did if we didn’t have Lauren there with us! Ive already recommended her to family and will continue to recommend her to others. Thank you SO much, Lauren!!

So helpful!
We hired Lauren to clean up decorations at the end of the night and she was amazing! She made sure all our decorations were gathered and brought were we asked. It was such a stress relief having her as a part of our day!

Lauren is the best!
Lauren was truly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding reception! I had spent months planning every little detail and had such a specific vision for how I wanted everything to look. Handing all of that over to someone else on the day of the wedding was a little nerve-racking, but Lauren completely put my mind at ease. She took my vision and brought it to life beautifully. Walking into our reception and seeing everything set up exactly how I had imagined it was such an amazing feeling. Every detail was thoughtfully placed, and I didn't have to worry about a thing. We also hired Lauren to come back at the end of the night for teardown, and I am SO glad we did. Knowing that everything would be carefully packed up and loaded into our car allowed us and our family and friends to simply enjoy the entire reception until the very end instead of worrying about cleanup. From our first conversation through the end of our wedding night, Lauren was dependable, professional, kind, and incredibly easy to work with. It truly felt like she cared about our day and about making sure my vision was executed the way I wanted it. If you're considering hiring I Do Memorable Occasions for setup and teardown, do it! Having Lauren there gave me something every bride deserves on her wedding day: the ability to walk into the room, see her vision come to life, and simply enjoy it. I can't recommend her enough!

Absolutely Amazing Wedding Coordinator
We cannot recommend Lauren enough! She was absolutely incredible from start to finish. Although we hired her for day-of coordination, her support began long before our wedding day. She met with us at the venue for a walkthrough, communicated and coordinated timelines with all of our vendors, created customized timelines for our families and wedding party, and made sure everyone knew exactly where they needed to be and when. Lauren was also incredibly supportive of all of the unique, out-of-the-box elements we wanted to incorporate into our wedding, including adoptable puppies and a golf simulator! She never made anything feel complicated or stressful and instead helped us figure out how to make every idea work seamlessly. She was kind, courteous, organized, responsive, and always one step ahead. Lauren thought of details we never would have considered and made us feel completely confident that everything was being handled. Because of her, we were able to truly enjoy our wedding day without worrying about logistics. Lauren played such a huge role in making our day as perfect as it was, and we are so grateful for everything she did. We truly could not recommend her more highly!
