Lauren was my saving grace when it came to planning my wedding! I was so lost and overwhelmed but her and her team knew exactly how to get me to wedding day virtually stress free. I would give her 100 stars if I could. I highly recommend this sweet angel to anyone looking for planning services.

I’m Lauren, lead planner at Lauren-Michele Events. I’ve planned over 65 weddings ranging from intimate gatherings to luxury estate celebrations. Each event is personalized, elegant, and stress-free. I specialize in full-service planning, especially outdoor and tented weddings with timeless, romantic designs. My style blends creativity with flawless logistics to create unforgettable experiences.

Yes, I’m part of a dedicated team! You’ll be working closely with me, Lauren, as your lead planner, along with SJ, Ryan, and Grace. We work together to ensure every detail is covered—from design to logistics—so your wedding day runs smoothly. We’re a hands-on, responsive team that truly cares about making your vision come to life.

Yes, absolutely! In addition to weddings, we also plan **rehearsal dinners, bridal showers, engagement parties, welcome events, and post-wedding brunches**. These celebrations are an important part of your wedding experience, and we love helping make them just as thoughtful and memorable. Yes! We plan rehearsal dinners, bridal showers, engagement parties, and post-wedding brunches. Whether you need full planning or just coordination, we bring the same care and attention to detail to every event, making each one seamless and memorable.

The time we spend together depends on your planning package, but full-service clients typically meet with me regularly throughout the process—starting with a kickoff call, monthly planning check-ins, design meetings, and final walk-throughs. On average, expect to spend a few hours per month together, plus email and phone support as needed. I work closely with you to manage the timeline, handle logistics, and keep everything on track so you can focus on the fun parts without feeling overwhelmed.

No, we never take on more than one wedding per day. For full-service clients, we also limit the number of weddings we accept per weekend to ensure you have our full attention and dedicated support throughout your event. Your wedding is our priority.
