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 :)

Where to begin! Our amazing wedding simply could NOT have happened in the wonderful way it did without Lori. From the moment I reached out for help “decorating” our reception, Lori was kind, responsive, thoughtful, and professional. So much so that we opted to upgrade our contract with her from reception decorator to day-of coordinator and thank goodness we did. Lori did multiple site visits, anticipated challenges, and addressed unforeseen issues and curve-balls with grace. Day-of, she put out fires I’m likely not even aware of to create a memorable and blissful day for us. Hire Lori. Her expertise, work-ethic, and sweet disposition will ensure you don’t regret it 💛

We hired Lori as our Coordinator and would highly recommend her for future weddings. She was great at executing our vision. She really listened to what we needed and what areas we wanted help with. She's definitely organized and responsive. We like that she was flexible when we needed some changes in the few weeks prior to our wedding date. We also liked that she gently made suggestions for us to consider when it came to timeline, floor plan, backup planning etc which ended up helping us out a lot and making us feel more prepared going into our wedding weekend. She led our rehearsal well too, even with my family members who can be easily distracted. Lori was like a jack of all trades for us, she provided advice, encouragement, and decorating ideas, as well as took on the day of tasks to keep our wedding day on track.

Details: 50 guests or fewer • DJ

Lori was an absolute delight to work with! She was so thorough and didn’t miss a single question we had. She went above and beyond to make our ceremony custom to us and was so sweet to add a special remark about my parents (both passed). She even brought us decorations to borrow for the day! Since having our wedding everyone has talked about what amazing job she did and how she was the best officiant they’ve seen! Do not pass up and opportunity to work with her, whether it’s coordination or officiating you need. She is the best! Thanks again Lori! ❤️
