AMAZING!!! I had a very hectic work schedule and she was able to work around my schedule for planning. When our catering fell through she helped us find a new caterer and then made sure everyone who needed to be connected were. When I forgot my bouquet at the far end of our venue, she drove to get it and completely saved the day!! So helpful and so amazing throughout the whole process. Whether you’re doing most of the planning on your own or getting help through the whole process, Lorell is amazing. She has tons of resources that will help you stay on track and remember everything!! Besides a couple mishaps on my part that Lorell helped fix, my wedding was absolutely amazing and I was able to enjoy the time with my husband and family!!
I am so glad I hired Lorell as my week of coordinator for my wedding! Leading up to the wedding she was available by email for any question (and believe me I had lots of questions). She would respond quickly and thoroughly. She set me up with lots of online resources and a planning portal which helped keep me stay on track of wedding planning. Her vendor recommendations were a huge help and all the ones she recommended were great to work with as well. The week of the wedding, Lorell took over and she expertly handled all the vendors and logistics. I got to focus on spending time with my fiance, friends and family and enjoy my wedding. I'd recommend booking her breakdown service as well as it was nice not have to deal with clean up at the end of the night! Lorell is an expert in Alaska weddings and she will be the most valuable vendor you book!
There are almost no words to describe the gratitude we have Lorell and her team for our wedding. She helped beyond what she had to, and was readily available.
Not only was her organization beyond impressive, she made everything easily available and trackable down to the smallest of details. She anticipated, adapted and was prepared for EVERYTHING.
Weather impacted our original plans to get married on the beach, and what she created at the last minute was something out of fairy tales, instagram and Pinterest dreams. It was better than anything I could have imaged.
Additionally, on the day of, She had everything so well managed that I never had to worry about a thing, and if anything shifted from the original plan, she was able to fix and adjust without adding anything to my plate. This gave me the ability to enjoy completely my rehearsal dinner/day before and be fully present on my wedding day. Not only did this allow me to enjoy every moment, it allowed my closest family and friends who you wanted to be present and having fun the ability to do so too. This meant more to us than you know!
Without Lorell, I could have had a beautiful wedding, sure. But With Lorell, we created a day that will go down in the books for a lifetime, a warm memory for everyone who was there.
Thank you for creating a perfect day that so uniquely represented us as a couple, but also all the people who make up our community and family.
Any questions?
I can't say enough wonderful things about working with Lorell. She was truly a magician when it came to making our special weekend absolutely perfect. From the moment we hired her, she took our somewhat random plan and ran with it, turning our vision into a reality that felt like a dream.
We went with the one carat package for more day-of wedding management. I knew I could invest time and effort into the planning process leading up to our big day but when it came to the day itself, I wanted someone I could absolutely trust to take the reins and ensure everything went off without a hitch. Lorell was that person. She made it possible for me to approach the day without a single worry or hesitation, and that peace of mind was absolutely priceless.
What truly set her apart was her ability to work her magic behind the scenes. I'm sure there were things happening on the back end, but I didn't have a clue about them. That's the mark of a true professional - making everything seem effortless and flawless, so that we could fully immerse ourselves in the joy and love of our family and friends.
Looking back at our weekend at Majestic Valley Wilderness Lodge, I think of it as a dream surrounded by so much love. Lorell’s expertise allowed us to bask in the beauty and love of the moment without any distractions while ensuring that we were staying on track. We couldn't have asked for a more dedicated, organized, and capable professional to guide us through this incredible journey. If you're in need of a wedding planner who can turn your dreams into a reality and execute flawlessly, look no further! Thank you, Lorell, for helping us have the most unforgettable weekend.
Lorell truly is the best! The logistics and the day of the wedding went so smoothly and I could not have imagined doing it all without Lorell! Our friends and families have even reached out letting us know how amazing she was! If you're even slightly considering having a day of coordinator, Lorell is really the one you want - so reach out to her and see how she can help make your wedding the dream it will be!
Lorell helped make our day so very special and made all the logistics flow perfectly without the bride and groom ever evening needing to think about it! THIS IS WHAT YOU WANT!
Lorell, is the absolute best!! She is incredibly talented as well as personable. We were really looking forward to working with her but had an unfortunate family matter and had to cancel her services. Lorell refunded us our deposit even though she didn't have to. She went above and beyond to take care of us. Would 100% recommend her.
Lorell was the best decision we made when it came to our wedding! She is incredible! From the day we signed our contract to days after the wedding (over a year), Lorell exceeded expectations. She came to every check-in prepared, she listened and provided her best recommendations, she responded clearly and promptly and she was very organized. There were a lot of moving pieces to our wedding and Lorell handled everything with grace. She was patient and made me feel so calm. I had zero doubt throughout the whole process that things would go smoothly - thanks to Lorell. She works so well with other vendors and they all love her! It couldn't have been as perfect without her. Hire Lorell, you will not regret it.
If you want a planner who will makes you feel heard, special and ensures that you get your dream wedding then Lorell is your girl. My fiancé and I are from California and chose to have our destination wedding in Alaska. We had never visited Alaska before or during the planning process which could potentially stress out any bride. But everything was smooth sailing with Lorell by our side. She is such a sweet and kind planner who always puts the needs of her clients above all else.
Stop all of your research and hire Lorell. She was everything we needed and more throughout the wedding process. She is extremely professional, organized, and patient -- what everyone needs from their planner. What made her stand out especially from some of the others while searching is that she allows for unlimited emailing and contact throughout the process and didn't feel like she was "gatekeeping" information just because we didn't get a larger package. Nor did we feel like we were being influenced into a trend or anything like that. She also has a lot of experience which put me at ease the day of because if anything went wrong I knew she was going to be able to handle it. On that note, I got that feeling not only from her experience but also her general confidence and "I have your back" energy throughout. She recommended the perfect vendors for us and helped assemble a team that she knew would lead the perfect day. She also made great recommendations to get the decor exactly where we wanted and within budget. Lorell provides two website services to help establish a formal timeline that is shared with vendors and a separate site for the vision, resources, and a place to set up your layout. You get a lot for your money! The day of the wedding we didn't have to worry about anything and it came out exactly how we discussed and planned for. She helped give us the perfect wedding 11/10.
Lorell is simply the best. I loved working with Lorell as our wedding planner for our 200-person winter getaway wedding in Girdwood, Alaska. She made planning this large event manageable, straightforward, and - dare I say - enjoyable. I appreciated the attention to detail and follow through (and patience, since I insisted on having nearly 200 chairs covered day of!). She’s personable and professional. While I hope I don’t have to get married again, I would work with Lorell if I ever had to do another wedding! Highly recommend.
If I can recommend one thing when working your wedding budget, make room for a planner! If you can't afford one for the entire event, you MUST have a "day of coordinator". No bride or groom wants to be worrying about the details on the day of their wedding! This will be the best money you will spend - bar none!
PRO TIP: Call i do! Events! From the first meeting at a local coffee shop, I knew right then it was a perfect match! Calm, reassuring, professional, organized, and full of valuable information, Lorell set the tone of not only a working relationship, but you felt you had a friend.
Pass your "day of stresses" to Lorell! She will handle them with class and ease. You will not be disappointed.
I can’t stress enough how much you NEED a wedding coordinator like Lorell. We hired Lorell as a week of coordinator, which allowed us to the planning ourselves, but leave the implementation to her. I ended up having lots of “extras” that I REALLY wanted at the wedding. If I didn’t have Lorell during the week of the wedding, those extra details would have HAD to go. There’s no way I could have pulled it all off without her. The whole week of the wedding, she handled absolutely everything and allowed my husband and I to just be present with our out of town guests and at the reception. You don’t want to look back and realized you were too stressed to enjoy your own wedding. Hire iDo Events!
After choosing my husband, Lorell was the best decision I made related to the wedding. Lorell helped me to plan our wedding from across the country while I was studying for the bar exam. She was patient, organized, and had all the best leads on the vendors in Alaska. Lorell made it all happen, and became both a trusted advisor and friend. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
Lorell is amazing, organized, on-top of everything that is needed and does a terrific job at being connected with the bride and groom! I love that she is totally flexible, helpful and always communicating with us, even if it's just checking in how things are in our lives<3
It was pretty impressive how everything was done smoothly and in-synch with planning our wedding, while we lived 720 miles away from the wedding location AND our wedding planner.
We highly recommend Lorell's services- at I do Events, for any event you need help coordinating from start to finish.
We hope to work with her again!!

I very highly recommend Lorell for your wedding coordinator. She is so easy to work with and has amazing attention to details and can handle anything that may come up. She has great suggestions and responds to you very fast with ideas. My husband and I were very impressed with her and were so happy we decided to hire her. She helped make our wedding a huge success and we were able to relax and just have fun knowing she was taking care of all the details! She goes above and beyond to make sure you have a perfect wedding day!!
Lorell was our day of coordinator, and I seriously do not know what I would have done without her! She made sure the entire day ran seamlessly, despite having to make a last minute call to move the ceremony due to rain. Everything was set of perfectly! The peace of mind knowing she was taking care of all the details so that my family and I could relax and enjoy the day was priceless!
Lorell is the best wedding planner a girl could ask for! Very attentive and understanding! Unbelievably helpful! I really don't know how I would plan my wedding without her. Highly recommend!
