    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.

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.

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.
