    The BEST planner there is

    Aside from marrying my partner, hiring Natalie and the Lace and Rose Events team to help plan and design our wedding was the best decision I ever made! Wedding planning felt incredibly overwhelming at first, but Natalie made the entire process fun, exciting, and genuinely enjoyable from the very beginning. From countless planning calls and meetings to venue walkthroughs and all the little details in between, Natalie and her team went above and beyond to bring our vision to life. Every detail was thoughtfully considered, and our wedding day turned out absolutely PERFECT — more beautiful and special than we could have ever imagined. The best part was that we didn’t have to worry about a single thing. Even when a nor’easter rolled through on our wedding day, Natalie remained calm, organized, and completely on top of everything. We were able to be fully present, enjoy every moment, and celebrate with our family and friends knowing we were in the best possible hands. Beyond being incredibly talented and professional, Natalie is genuinely one of the kindest, warmest people you could hope to have by your side during such an important time in your life. She truly cares about her couples, and that shines through in everything she does. We are so grateful to Natalie and the entire Lace & Rose Events team for making our wedding everything we dreamed of and more. If you are considering hiring a wedding planner or looking for someone to bring your wedding vision to life, I cannot recommend Natalie and Lace and Rose Events highly enough.

    10000/10

    I wish I could give more than 5 stars!! The moment I spoke with Natalie I knew she was going to be an amazing day of coordinator. She always went above and beyond, thought of every single little thing that would’ve slipped my mind otherwise, and was a consistent calming presence all throughout my wedding planning. After every call with her I felt like she was going to make sure I had everything taken care of by the time we got to the wedding day, and she did exactly that. She was always so accommodating and made me feel like I was her only client. My wedding was not at a true venue and putting it together was a huge task to take on but Natalie made it all seem so manageable and was there to help/answer questions whenever I needed it. Come the day of, her and Johanna had everything right on schedule, had every little detail of the day noted and taken care of, and handled any mishap so quietly and quickly. Whether it was the quick fix to the bottom of my dress that had ripped or wrangling together my crazy family throughout the day, she was always right there to make the whole day run so smoothly. I’m so grateful to have had her by my side through my planning process and I cannot recommend Lace and Rose enough!!!

    Can't recommend enough

    Natalie and Johanna were an amazing team. We used them as our day of coordinators for our wedding in August 2026. Everything that they did made our wedding day so special and stress-free! They definitely put in the hard work with all of the pre wedding meetings with us and they had amazing attention to detail throughout the process. On the day of, they kept everything relaxed and calm in the way they handled everything. Having Natalie and Johanna there, gave us such peace of mind, and we honestly couldn’t have done it without them. We cannot recommend Lace Rose Events enough, if you are looking for an extremely talented and helpful team to make your day run as smoothly as possible.

    My wedding day hero!!

    I don’t even know where to begin when it comes to explaining how amazing Natalie and Johanna are. From my very first phone call with Natalie, I immediately felt a connection with her. She was so bubbly, kind, and reassuring, and she made me feel confident from the beginning that she knew exactly what she was doing. She even sent us a handwritten letter after we booked her thanking us, which was such a sweet and thoughtful touch! Leading up to the wedding, poor Natalie would receive texts from me at all hours of the night when I was stressing about something. She never once made me feel crazy or judged. She always made me feel heard and reassured me that everything was going to be okay. During our meetings, she was so organized and to the point and helped us curate the perfect timeline for our wedding day. She also provided us with PDFs on everything from how much to tip our vendors, wedding day checklists, and timelines for when everything needed to be done. All of these little resources were SO helpful and made me feel much more prepared. Johanna attended my rehearsal, and I am so grateful that she did. I am not a confrontational person at all, and Johanna was able to stand up for me, communicate my wishes, and make sure everything was done the way I wanted it. Having her there gave me such peace of mind. Then came the wedding day, and these two ladies were truly LIFE SAVERS. I could not be more grateful that I had both Natalie and Johanna by my side. I am a very anxious person, and when things don’t go according to plan, I tend to panic. They kept me calm, kept me on track, and constantly reassured me that everything was going to be okay. The best part? If something went wrong on my wedding day, I had absolutely no idea about it. They handled EVERYTHING behind the scenes. If I ever wondered whether something needed to be done, it was already done. They were so incredibly on top of everything! And they came prepared for things I never would have even thought to bring. I felt like my curls were falling? Natalie had a curling iron and fixed my hair. I spilled an espresso martini on my dress? Natalie and Johanna got the stain out like it was nothing. They were truly like magic fairies whatever problem came up, they somehow had a solution or the exact tool needed to fix it. These two ladies are amazing inside and out. They are professional, kind, hardworking, organized, responsive, and genuinely care about their couples. I feel so blessed that they were such an important part of my wedding day. Honestly, I was sad when my wedding day ended because I knew I wouldn’t be meeting with Natalie every month anymore. I truly feel like she became a friend throughout the entire wedding planning process, and I will always be so grateful for that relationship. To think I almost didn’t hire a wedding coordinator because I didn’t think I needed one… now looking back, I genuinely don’t know how my family or I would have survived the wedding day without them. They handled problems I didn’t even know existed so that I could simply enjoy my wedding day and be present in the moment. If you are debating whether or not to hire a wedding coordinator, DO IT and hire Natalie and Johanna! I cannot recommend these two enough. They made our wedding day stress-free, seamless, and so much more enjoyable. I will forever be grateful to them for everything they did for us.

    Exceptional from start to finish!

    From the very beginning, our wedding coordinator, Natalie made us feel completely supported, cared for, and truly understood. She brought so much professionalism, patience, and warmth to every step of the planning process. On our wedding day, everything came together beautifully because of their attention to detail and dedication behind the scenes. What meant the most to us was how calm and reassuring they were throughout the entire experience even though I was a bit pain in the butt and didn’t follow the timeline haha. We were able to be fully present and enjoy our special day without worrying about the little things. We are incredibly grateful for everything Natalie and Kaycee did to make our wedding so beautiful, seamless, and memorable. We couldn’t recommend them more highly to any couple looking for someone who will genuinely care about making their wedding day perfect
