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!

We Couldn’t Have Done It Without Lauren
My wife and I cannot say enough about Lauren. With my wife working as a flight attendant and me traveling regionally for work, finding the time to manage all the moving pieces of a wedding was incredibly challenging. Lauren stepped in with only about 90 days left in the planning process, and from the very beginning, she took control in the best possible way. She met with vendors, attended event walks, and immediately started asking questions that honestly never would have crossed my mind. Her expertise and attention to detail gave us a level of confidence and peace of mind that we desperately needed during such a busy time in our lives. I truly cannot imagine our wedding day without Lauren. Her professionalism, responsiveness, and ability to take so much off our plates were invaluable. The reason our wedding day turned out as beautifully and seamlessly as it did is because of her. She didn't just help us plan a wedding—she allowed us to actually enjoy the process and be fully present on the day we had waited so long for. Lauren, you are an absolute rockstar at what you do. We will forever be grateful that you stepped in when you did and gave us a wedding day that was better than we ever could have imagined. If you are considering hiring Lauren, stop thinking about it and do it. You will not regret it!
