    Above and beyond!

    My husband and I had a wonderful time working with Lauren. Our communication started before it was even contracted to. Throughout the entire process, she was always prompt, thoughtful, considerate, and listened to our concerns and addressed them as necessary. The morning of our wedding, our videographer cancelled suddenly and did not try to find a replacement for us. Lauren calmly informed us of the issue and quickly went over the contract to let us know what was going on and what we were actually owed. Then Lauren and her husband filmed multiple videos for us themselves on their phones throughout the day, put them together for us in a 5 minute video, AND sent us all of the individual videos in a google drive. Having a videographer was one of the things I was most excited about so it was really disappointing to find out that morning that we would not have one and also were out of that money. Lauren and her team stepped up and truly went above and beyond for us on our special day and captured so much that we would have missed out on. I really couldn’t be happier with her services and am so thankful to have had her on our special day.

    The Best Wedding Planner!

    Lauren and her team are absolutely AMAZING! They were punctual, professional, and really on top of their game. Lauren checked on my husband and I multiple times throughout the day to make sure we were doing okay and didn’t need anything. Our wedding day was literally perfect! Despite the fact that we ran into a couple hiccups due to rain. We didn’t stress the entire night! 10/10 would recommend, the service was unmatched. Thank you again for making our special day so memorable!

    Maid of honor

    Lauren Michele Events provided amazing communication throughout the entire wedding planning process. Their work quality and value was truly exceptional - they made sure our wedding day schedule was kept on track, and Lauren was incredibly professional in ensuring I, as the maid of honor and florist, was able to decorate everything while still being present for the bride. Lauren went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect for the bride and groom. I highly recommend Lauren Michele Events to any couple looking for a wedding planner who will make their special day seamless and stress-free.
