To the people who actually take the time to read reviews I hope this helps your decision 10x easier... There are really no words to say to express my gratitude to this woman. She was recommended to me by the first venue I had chosen to have my... wedding held. Planning a wedding was already difficult, stressful, annoying, irritating, overwhelming, etc. and she made it so much easier. She was always calm, reassuring, and every bit of amazing even when the wedding planning went to complete SHIT. She was my therapist, my confidant, my friend, she was everything to me when I had nothing more to give. I don't know why I thought planning a wedding while in my senior year of college would be smart ... but it wasn't. So my stress with making sure I graduated on top of planning a wedding across the country was top notch. My maid of honor dropped off the wedding party, I found out the first venue was completely disgusting after touring it the day of the menu tasting (food was phenomenal), I went through three wedding coordinators at the second venue, some vendors I hired had terrible communication skills, etc. I hope you're catching on that my wedding planning was a disaster and my angel in disguise was Lori through it all. She handled EVERYTHING for me so I didn't have to worry, all while taking care of her daughter and working full time. I never felt for a second felt that Lori didn't have my back. Emails, phone calls, text messages, face time, whatever I needed she was there no questions asked. My wedding day .... beautiful, amazing, gorgeous, all of thee above. The day of the wedding I woke up with no worries because I knew she was handling everything. She even put me in my dress and zipped it for me (my mom was still getting dressed) and that was the solidification of our relationship because she is now FAMILY. This is no longer a business relationship, she's stuck with me for life <3. Hiring Lori as my wedding planner was the best decision I made during the wedding planning process.
