For Love of Love

Her communication was clear and timely, Her eye for design and her ability to make a vision come to life are unmatched, and she is professional while being down-to-earth. I am a wedding photographer myself, so choosing my planner was extremely important to my husband and me. Hiring Lauren was the first thing we did, and she did not disappoint! She went above and beyond for us every single step of the way. My husband and I were over the moon with her services and her ability to roll with the punches. On a wedding day, things go wrong, which is why having a planner is even more important. She was there to help us roll with the punches, and everything turned out so beautiful. We were able to truly enjoy my wedding day because I knew that Lauren was there taking care of everything and knew that we had her on our team even if something came up. Lauren was attentive and organized throughout the entire process and especially on the wedding day. We truly trusted her throughout the entire process, which was priceless to us. We can confidently say (and often did say to one another) that we wouldn't have been able to put our beautiful wedding day together without Lauren. She was critical to the success of our day and vision and was why we were able to have an at-ease feeling on our wedding day. Having For Love of Love on our side throughout the process kept us on track and eliminated the sense of "forgetting something" that we had felt initially before hiring her. Most importantly, Lauren was thoughtful. She listened to us and was extremely intentional with her design for our day. Okay, I can go on and on! Lauren is just truly wonderful, and we would hire her all over again! We will recommend her every chance we get. If you are on the fence, hire For Love of Love!! We will forever be so grateful for our wedding day.

We hired Lauren and Ellie for day-of coordination and it was absolutely the best decision we could have made! I knew I could count on them to execute my vision but they did SO MUCH MORE to make our big day way better than we ever imagined. From managing our vendors and timeline, making quick decisions during set-up, coordinating the ceremony and event transitions, all the way to lining up our shuttles and overseeing the breakdown at the end of the night... Lauren and Ellie helped us think of every little detail and they handled everything on the day-of with quickness and confidence. Because of the For Love of Love team, our families and guests were able to really enjoy themselves during the wedding without a worry - and that is priceless! I truly believe that our big day wouldn't have been as fun, beautiful or successful without Lauren and Ellie's hard work, support and input - these girls are AMAZING!!!

Lauren was not only my wedding planner, but also the florist and overall architect for the look, theme, and design of my wedding. I knew going into things, that I needed a Planner who was going to be extremely detailed and organized, and keep me on track throughout the process. I tend to get overwhelmed and/or distracted easily when it comes to making many decisions, or if there’s a lot going on. Lauren was so organized and structured that I barely worried or stressed about the small decisions – I’d tell her what I generally liked, or would just send her things from Pinterest, and she’d narrow everything down to a few, wonderful options. After she realized my scatterbrained ways, she would implement friendly “deadlines” for me. This provided a way for me to think about things one thing at a time, while having the satisfaction of “checking things off my list" like guest count, menu items, program wording, etc. This helped me a lot, otherwise I would have gotten overwhelmed and procrastinated to the point of no return :) Beyond Lauren’s ability to leverage a huge variety of resources to fit my budget needs, decoration preferences, etc., I learned quickly that she has an eye for designing a beautiful a wedding. When discussing designs and decorations, she’d paint a picture of an idea for me, and follow up with pictures and examples. In one of our earlier meetings, she suggested the idea of a “S’mores and Stogies Bar” and it was a huge hit at the wedding. She also owns a huge variety of decorative items that made decorating much easier! When I started the wedding planning process, I didn’t know what I was going to do for florals, nor did I have a florist in mind. I described to Lauren the “look” I was going for, she showed me pictures of some bouquets/arrangements she had done, and I was sold. The flowers and arrangements Lauren did for my wedding were more than I ever could have wanted. I’ve gotten so many compliments from people who’ve looked at my pictures about how beautiful the flowers and arrangements were. They were perfect for the season, perfect for our colors, and exactly what I wanted! All in all, I felt so much support from Lauren throughout the entire wedding planning process. She explained things thoroughly, was always easy to get in touch with, and executed everything in such an organized manner, that I was consistently put at ease. She also made sure that everything was completed and squared away for me an entire week before my wedding, so that the only thing I had to do was enjoy time with family from out of town, and get excited about the big day!
