    The LoKel team are magic makers. Their expertise in the event industry is undeniable, but what truly sets them apart is their care, presence, and ability to hold space for all the moving pieces—both tangible and emotional—that come with coordinating a wedding. Our celebration took place at a private family property, an intimate-ish backyard wedding with 130ish guests. And in case you’ve never planned a backyard wedding, it’s not as simple as it sounds. There’s no built-in infrastructure or venue team to fall back on, but with Lauren and Kelsey by our side, we felt supported and informed every step of the way. From the start of the process, LoKel’s guidance was invaluable. They helped us navigate vendor selection—pointing us toward trusted partners, steering us away from potential pitfalls, and even ensuring our contracts were designed to protect us. As the big day approached, they offered emotional support in moments when things felt overwhelming, whether we were juggling tricky family dynamics or chasing elusive vendors. And on the wedding day? They were the calm in the storm. With so many moving parts and potential for chaos—vendors setting up, family arriving, unexpected changes—they handled everything with incredible composure, making sure every detail was taken care of and bringing a sense of ease to even the most hectic moments. My husband and I got to soak in every moment, fully present and stress-free, because we knew they had everything under control. Thanks to them, our day wasn’t just seamless—it was joyful, intentional, and everything we’d dreamed of. Lauren and Kelsey don’t just plan weddings; they create an atmosphere where you can fully live in the moment. To LoKel: Thank you, thank you, thank you for bringing our vision and dream wedding day to life.

    I got engaged on January 30th, 2024, and was married just a few short months later on May 18th, 2024. As a first-time bride trying to plan a wedding in such a condensed time frame, I was incredibly nervous, especially since I was trying to keep costs down. After securing my vendors and working on my timeline, it quickly became clear that there was no way I could enjoy my wedding day while worrying about coordinating every little detail myself. The sheer number of moving parts and tiny details was overwhelming. Enter Lauren and Kelsey. I had seen their work before as they were the coordinators for a friend’s wedding where I was a bridesmaid, and they did such an amazing job that I knew they were the perfect choice for my own wedding. Even though my venue provided a day-of coordinator, I realized that she (also so amazing at what she does) would be too focused on venue-specific duties like managing food and the bar to handle the full execution of my timeline, coordinate with outside vendors, or deal with the unexpected hiccups that inevitably arise. And those hiccups did arise. My bustle ripped, and Lauren literally crawled under my dress to fix it. We forgot to pick up the wedding cake, but they had it sorted. It even rained, and they navigated the situation flawlessly, all while managing family dynamics and calming me during moments when I felt completely overwhelmed. Your wedding day flies by, and before you know it, it's over. I am so thankful that I got to be present, enjoy every moment, and soak in the day without a single worry—thanks to Lauren and Kelsey. In just one month, they picked up every little piece of my 1,000-piece wedding puzzle and put it together seamlessly. Everything we envisioned, they made it a reality. Words really can’t describe how much value they provided. If you want to actually enjoy your wedding day, hire Lauren and Kelsey. They are simply the best. P.S. They even went the extra mile by bringing all the decorations, leftover food, gifts, and more back to our house, allowing us to head straight to our after-party without a worry. The picture below is one we got from them at home with our pups, whom they kindly took out for a potty break after the wedding. I seriously love these girls!

    LoKel kept our wedding afloat (literally). From our first meetings to the day of, these two ladies were exactly what us as a clueless couple needed. They asked the questions that we would have never thought to have figured out while completely being supportive of our vision of a wedding. LoKel was able to help us navigate the unexpected Hurricane Ian for our outdoor at home wedding and helped ensure the most fun for our guests and us. They spent the whole morning setting up and I assume problem solving (because if there were any, LoKel took care if it without us knowing) I'd plan ANY event with these two and would encourage any of you to do the same.

    Lauren was an outstanding wedding ceremony coordinator who made our day seamless and stress-free. From the rehearsal to the final moments of our ceremony, she ensured everything was perfectly timed and executed. Her attention to detail and calm demeanor were invaluable, allowing us to focus on the moment while she handled all the logistics. Lauren coordinated with vendors, managed the timeline, and even addressed last-minute changes with ease. Her professionalism and dedication made our ceremony exactly what we envisioned. We are so grateful for Lauren’s expertise, and we highly recommend her to anyone planning their wedding.
