Grand Events By Lori

yes to the best man I know my husband. Lori from the beginning helped me pick the best vendors, kept me on track on what I need to do and she did everything else which was so helpful all the way around!!! On my big day it was so relaxing honestly I didn't have a worry at all. Lori and her team even helped me get into my wedding dress, fixed my hair when need for pictures or how about helped pack up at the end of the wedding. My wedding was prefect for Gerald and I it was exactly what we wanted and she made that happened for us we are so thankful. For all big events in the future she will be my planner.

shortly after our first phone call and started the planning process. She coordinated with my bridesmaids about dresses, and hair/makeup. Helped me choose my invitations and wording, she also put me in contact with awesome vendors! Anytime I had a concern or I was worried about something I was able to text or call Lori and always responded quickly. She made the most detailed timeline and coordinated with all my vendors before my wedding. The day of the wedding everything was perfect. She helped me with my confusing bustle and did a great job. Everything went according to the timeline and my wedding was beautiful! I would recommend Lori to anyone looking for a Day of coordinator or wedding planner, she’s guaranteed to make your wedding a dream wedding and will have everything running smoothly.

readsheet, I thought about how busy I was going to be the day of the wedding and I felt a sense of dread. It was at that moment I remembered the flyer I was given advertising Grand Events by Lori. After discussing it with my husband, I reached out and hired Lori to take over the reins the day of the wedding so I could just enjoy being the Mom. Now under normal circumstances my story would just end there and I would tell you how amazing Lori was the day of the wedding.....but these are not normal times! My daughter and her fiancé became ill 4 days before their wedding and we had to postpone it. When my daughter called me and told me she was positive for the virus I felt like I had been hit by a tidal wave. I immediately texted Lori and she just flew into action! Lori was able to easily navigate through all the phone calls, emails, and text messages to the vendors and venue to let everyone know what was going on. She assisted us in coordinating all the vendors to a new wedding date - even though she, herself, was not available on the new day that was selected. It was a miracle that all the vendors could move to the new day....but we were devastated that Lori could not. But she didn’t leave us high and dry - which honestly she could have - instead, she arranged for her assistant Jaime to run the day and it was a phenomenal wedding! The measure of a professional is tested during times of difficulty and I can honestly say that Lori proved, beyond a doubt, how amazing she is at her craft! I think with anyone else at the helm, I would have been panicking! But Lori handled it all with grace and finesse and even found the time to calm me down and put me at ease. So it is without hesitation, and with full confidence, that I HIGHLY recommend Lori of Grand Events by Lori to plan your wedding!! Lori is truly a master in her craft and you will be safe in her hands.

-plan what ended up being THE BEST DAY OF OUR LIVES!! I could not have done without her. Our wedding was August 15th and it was relaxed, organized, and beautiful. She genuinely cares about what you care about and gently makes suggestions on how to make it the best day for YOU. Lori and I are still in contact even after the event, she just really cares about people. Thankyou Lori.

y needed on the day of our wedding. I didn't think I 'needed' a wedding coordinator, but I could not imagine our day without Lori. Thank you, Lori, for making our day what it was.

eing to work with me just a few days before my wedding and for connecting me with 3 more amazing vendors! You were such a blessing! I wish you the very best with your career and life. Thank you! <3

the planning phase was so stressful, because I was trying to handle everything from a distance. Lori made sure that everything was amazing. The wedding was very smooth, elegant, and perfect in every way. I could not have imagined anything better. Her attention to detail and her constant updates made this wedding, the wedding of my dreams!

ing , not only will I be recommending her to future brides she is always welcome back to the Pelican. Thank you Lori, I hope to be seeing more of you

ything. She made my wedding a dream! I don’t think I stressed or worried about anything the day of. She tackled and conquered all obstacles that came our way. I’ll forever be grateful for Lori and I’m so glad I chose her and her team to help plan our special day. You will not regret booking Lori, she is worth every dime!!

ings, was an encyclopedia for wedding etiquette and protocol, and very responsive to texts, emails and phone calls in a timely manner. She even stuffed and mailed our invitations which can be very time-consuming. She went above and beyond by doing lots of extra things. On the day of our wedding, she even insured we stayed fed and hydrated throughout the day by going out of her way to pick up platters and drinks for the wedding party. After the wedding, she sent us home and stayed to clean up. We truly felt like guests at the wedding as she and her assistants took care of everything in the background. The wedding was a month ago and she is still in touch with our photography and videography vendors to make sure we are completely taken care of and satisfied. I could not recommend Grand Events by Lori any higher.

nce then, Lori has been extremely diligent in finding us the best quality and affordable local businesses to partner with. All of her suggestions have been amazing and have worked perfectly for us. Even through my indecisiveness, she continues to be helpful, patient and kind! I cannot wait for our wedding Because I know Lori has my back! Seriously, she is kind, hard working, smart, and she CARES.

wedding day was flawless. I didn't have to worry about a thing. And...I remember the entire day!!! She made sure I ate and stayed hydrated, helped me find missing people, whatever I needed - she was there to help! She had an assistant with her the day of, Jamie, who was amazing as well! I can honestly say it all went exactly as planned. If you are undecided about hiring a wedding planner - DO IT. Lori's prices are very affordable, and she is always a text, email, and phone call away. I would recommend Lori to any of my friends, and hands down believe 100% that I would have been so stressed out without her. Thank you so much Lori!

definitely figured something would go wrong, but nope it was a perfect flawless evening. A dream come true and that is because of Lori. Her pricing is beyond fair and affordable considering her ability to take your vision and make it a reality. She was nothing but helpful, kind, understanding, and just everything a couple needs when planning their perfect day.

one of the pinterest budget brides that gave me so much inspiration online. After about 2 months of trying to plan things myself, I realized just how overwhelming the process would be for me, which is hard for me since I like to have control over my own situations. A friend referred me to Lori, and the most important thing I can say is that my wedding would not have been anywhere near as incredible as it was without Lori. Even in times of panic and feeling completely overwhelmed, Lori was there for me, having a solution for everything. She made the process of planning so much easier for me and my husband. It is hard to imagine just how much work is involved with planning a wedding, how many individual details that have to be considered, until you try to plan one yourself. Lori is one of the sweetest souls I have ever met, and her level of organization and professionalism is incredible. She orchestrated my entire event and had it run so smoothly, even when we encountered hiccups. She is also a wonderful advocate for the bride and groom, helping to keep guests in check (including those family/friends who may not be the most well versed in manners). She made sure that we had time to eat without interruptions from our guests constantly walking up to our table. She brought water for me during our photo sessions outside. I just can't say enough good things about her and the amazing job she does. It is obvious that she does her job because she loves what she does and loves making people happy on their special day. After this experience, hiring a wedding planner, especially one so amazing as Lori, is the best advice I could ever give to a future bride!

r. Definitely the best decision we made choosing her as the wedding planner for our daughter's wedding - there was not one issue she wasn't right on top of!

rties and events for friends and family, I found myself exhausted and overly stressed during the entire planning process, perhaps because I have that Type A personality that makes it more work than it should. Therefore, I couldn’t have made a more wise decision in hiring Lori from Grand Events by Lori to be my planner/coordinator for my most important event, my wedding. From the very beginning, Lori was able to provide me with the resources necessary to help get the process started. From vendors to venues, she provided reputable people to choose from that would not only work within my budget but would also make my day unique and special to me. For example, my budget for a photographer was under a thousand, which is really hard to find. Even if you do, the pictures probably won’t be stellar. Lori worked hard and was able to find a photographer that was well under our budget and the pictures were more than stellar! They were PERFECT! I honestly would have NEVER found that vendor because they were an hour away from us but she did! When the time drew nearer to our special day, Lori designed a thorough and easy to follow timeline that fully delineated to the vendors, bridal party, immediate family, and of course to my fiance and I how the day was to unfold. I so desperately needed that structure and it gave me such peace knowing that she was going to be handling everything behind the scenes so that I can enjoy my day without a single worry. Lori provided that and more. She cheerfully guided us through our entire ceremony and reception so that we could just enjoy our special day to the fullest extent with all of our friends and family. Even with all of the last minute fixes and unexpected issues that came up, Lori was flexible and resolved them. Even as simple as reminding me to breathe before I anxiously walked down the aisle! Lori has a beautiful passion for what she does as a wedding planner and it shows in her professionalism, her timely responsiveness, flexibility, and quality of service. I highly encourage and recommend to any couple planning a wedding to utilize her services. It was blessing in and of itself to be able to thoroughly enjoy my wedding day carefree.

ruck (my cake didn't show up - don't use Cakes So Simple!) Lori stepped into action and got us an alternative without our guests knowing the difference. She handled a very stressful situation with pose (so much so that I didn't realize something was wrong until she told me). I can't speak highly enough of Lori. So much so that my sister-in-law ended up using her on her wedding day and Lori did a fantastic job with that wedding too. Do yourself a favor and book Lori. You hope nothing goes wrong on your wedding day but investing in Lori assures your day will be everything you imagined (and more).

on top of everything. She consistently contacted me to be sure things were handled prior to the wedding, and kept up with most of my vendors. The day of the wedding she was sick and still rockin’ it! She was there throughout the day and night, handling things I don’t even know of because we were enjoying our day. I was prepared to have to help clean at the end of the night but Lori started and finished before I even noticed! She truly is amazing and she was essential for a relaxed wedding day :) My husband and I are so happy we picked her!

throughout the day that we worried about anything because we knew Lori had it under control. We were able to be fully present with each other and our guests, which is priceless. The amount of time Lori took to iron out all the details prior to the big day ensured that everything went just how we hoped it would. We would definitely recommend her to anyone considering a Coordinator! Thank you so much, Lori!

we had to move across the country and push our wedding date 6 months closer, we were stressed to say the least. Without her, we would have had to scrap all of the contracts and deposits we had already paid for, but Lori was able to talk to all of our vendors and work out a beautiful ceremony and reception with the deposits we had already paid and within our timeline. She was absolutely AMAZING in every aspect of our planning (for both timelines). If it was possible to rate her over 5 stars, I definitely would.

e & on top of everything. I was able to relax, spend time with my family/friends, and really enjoy my wedding day! I could not speak higher of her, she really is amazing! Book her, you will not regret it!!!

with how our wedding turned out! ❤️

owed very well, the food was perfect ,she even had a signature cocktail for all my guests. The also helped direct the servers and I felt so relaxed and could actually mingle with my guests. The decor was classy and elegant and I would not hesitate to use her again to help with any future parties we host!

open. She listened to my ideas and guided me as she saw fit. Lori and I had multiple interactions before our wedding day and I always felt that all my questions were answered by the time our phone call ended. On our wedding day, Lori went above and beyond to make sure our day was smooth and exactly how we wanted. She was extremely organized & coordinated great with all my vendors making sure everyone was on the same page. She was an awesome leader without being too abrupt or rude to our guests and our wedding party. She was the absolute best! I truly feel that I could not have had a better experience with any other wedding coordinator. I highly recommend Grand Events by Lori! You will not be disappointed!!!

ri has been amazing! Our caterer was over an hour late and she handled the situation and the guests flawlessly. Just the sense of calm and ease that she provides you as a bride on your wedding day is worth every single penny. I got multiple comments from our photographer saying I was the most relaxed bride they have ever worked with, and that is ONLY because I knew Lori was on top of everything. Every single time something would pop into my head or come up during setup Lori responded with "I've already got it covered." We joked about how she waved her magic wand to give us the perfect weather on our special day, but now I'm starting to wonder if she really does have magic powers, because how someone can handle everything so perfect and flawlessly is beyond me! Everyone should be able to look back on their wedding day and remember it as one of the best days of their lives and because of Lori I can't help but smile at every thought and memory of my wedding. I cannot recommend her enough!

ney spent for our wedding! If you don’t want to worry about a thing the day of your wedding, put your trust in Lori! She won’t disappoint!

rfect and her job is to take on all the stress. She handled an over drunk guest, she handled a table mix up, and handled when my cake fell over. Lori made sure everything ran on time. I highly recommend Grand Events by Lori if you want a punctual, professional, organized, reliable and super sweet wedding coordinator. Thank you so much Lori for making our wedding so special and perfect.
