Lori was WONDERFUL to work with! She asked what my vision was, and asked if I had ideas of what I wanted things to look like. She made good suggestions. She met with me and the venue owner. Lori's positive vibes are contagious! If you are looking for a decorator who goes the extra mile to make sure that her clients are happy, hire Lori. You will be glad that you did!

Lori was so amazing and helped us execute the perfect wedding day, she was extremely easy to communicate with and went over details with us months in advance. We utilized her day of coordination and decorating services but felt we gained so much more! She was so attentive to detail and kept everything organized and running smoothly. She and her assistant Tiffany made our ceremony and reception space even more beautiful than we could’ve imagined and kept our timeline and vendors on point. Thank you so much for making our day so perfect :)

5/5 experience working with Lori and her team at Elegant Weddings & Events. Lori is extremely detail-oriented, responsive, and during our many planning sessions, prompted us with questions that we never would have thought to ask. Her decades of experience in wedding planning and officiating show, as our wedding day ran as smoothly as possible. We also utilized Lori's rental decor, which was beautiful and elegant. We received many compliments from our guests about how beautiful the decorations were. Not only is Lori professional, but she's also a friendly and calming presence. Like many brides, I was a nervous wreck on the wedding day but Lori made a point to check in on me throughout the day to make sure I was doing okay. I cannot recommend her services enough—you can thank me later!
