Imagine This Weddings and Events

Lori was so amazing throughout the entire planning process, going above and beyond for us! We bought the full service package and could not recommend this enough, especially if you are planning from afar. Lori took our vision and made it 10x better by giving us the perfect list of vendors to choose from while staying in budget. I loved getting to meet the rest of her team on wedding day as they were all so sweet, helpful, and there for anything you needed whether it be a steamer or handing you a cocktail right after the ceremony! They all kept their cool with any last minute curveballs that came our way and honestly helped me keep sane. I even had a very difficult bustle and Lori got down in the floor with my sister and didn’t give up until it was all figured out when other people had given up. I’m sad that the wedding is over and we don’t get to have meetings with her anymore as she kind of became a friend over a year and half of planning. You can tell she truly cares about her couples and is there to fight for you for you to get what you want! I highly recommend this team if you want the wedding of your dreams!

Lori and her team are AMAZING. I had them for day-of coordination for my wedding and we started working together 60-days prior to my wedding day. Lori walked me through everything, helped me create the perfect timeline, helped me make some decisions, and always had the BEST advice. Everything felt so simple and easy with her. On wedding day, she was my rock. The day simply would not have gone as well as it did without her. She was so fun and friendly, on top of everything, and really made my dreams come true that day! You can really tell how much she cares about your wedding and how much she loves what she does! I will always recommend her to everyone for their wedding or event!!

We worked with Lori + Katie for our April wedding. We had realized a bit after the 1 month out mark that we needed help with coordination and Lori and her team swooped in to make sure we were able to sit back and enjoy our day. Everything was perfect and smooth - could not recommend Imagine This! more.

Lori and her staff are beyond incredible! Everything was executed perfectly! The communication between her and the other vendors was so reassuring that our day would be perfect! I would not hesitate to hire her again!

Lori was everything we could have asked for in a wedding planner! She was extremely responsive and hands on with helping us plan our day. Her website to keep track of everything with check lists, seating plans, contact books, vendor check lists, and more was a life saver. I had no idea where to even start, and she helped every step of the way. I know for a fact I would have lost my mind on my wedding day when it started raining if she wasnt there. I cant recommend her enough!!

Lori was absolutely amazing to work with! She paid attention to every detail, went above and beyond her “ job description”, and really is personable. The day would not have been the same without her. We were in love with her work.!!!

Lori was INCREDIBLE! Her execution of our vision was completely flawless. She thought of everything and handled every little hiccup so I could enjoy my day. In addition to being phenomenal at her job, she's also such a thoughtful and kind person! She genuinely took such good care of us before and during our wedding day! Her connections are incredible and she presented some solutions to make our day 100 times easier that I never would have been able to pull off without her. Will always recommend Imagine This Curated Events! 100000/10!

Lori truly gives her all when it comes to your wedding. She makes you feel as if she is only working with you. I needed a day of coordinator, but it felt like so much more with her frequent meetings and consistent support. On wedding day, I didn’t have to think about a thing (except the weather of course haha), which is so important for the bride!!! Her work is amazing! I would only recommend Lori to all my friends and family in the future :)

Hiring Lori for our special day was 1000% worth it. We did the full service planning package and felt at ease throughout the entire process. We followed the timeline she sets to keep us and our budget on track. Her connections and knowledge about other vendors contributed to a perfect wedding. She was always patient and available for whatever concerns we had and you can really see how much she cares to bring your vision to life. Always appreciated her insight into any decision we were on the fence about. Our bridal party raved about how awesome she was! She was an absolute beast on the day of the wedding and we can’t thank her enough.

Lori and her team provided excellent day of coordination service for us. They were on time, organized and efficient. I had several meetings with a Lori before the wedding and felt she really understood what I wanted

As a queer couple, we were searching for a coordinator who had experience working with LGBTQ+ couples. Lori's crew knocked it out of the park, we are so happy with our decision. Kendall was very helpful and we fully trusted her to run the show the day of our wedding, and she did. It took a weight off our shoulders knowing that Kendall had done weddings at our venue prior, and had lots of insight into things like capacity, logistics, ceremony locations, setup, etc. You'll be happy if you choose Lori's team!

Lori was absolutely wonderful to work with. We were 3 hours behind her, and she accommodated the time difference with no difficulty at all. She also made it easy to coordinate from across the country with different venders and connected us to some quality companies that were not only wonderful but helped us "stay on budget." Day of, she and her team did a great job of reducing the stress from my husband and I, and made things flow on the back end. I would not have made a different choice when it came to wedding planner. highly recommend Imagine This weddings!

What to say! She's amazing! 5 stars isn't enough stars! The short: Lori is a well organized, on schedule and knowledgeable wedding planner who absolutely makes your day special! The long: Lori is absolutely amazing. My partner and I got married in the mountains of NC and hired Lori for partial planning. From our first introduction Lori was on time, on task and celebratory of our relationship and special day! Over the months leading to the wedding we had check ins, follow ups and tasks in which Lori helped keep us on track. Lori utilized a special planning program to keep us on our timetable (which was much needed!) in a fun, friendly way that didn't add ANY stress! There's always "the planner" in the couple and Lori knows how to work with both dynamics to ensure things are set and that you don't have to worry! Coming to the day of the wedding, Lori was prompt, prepared (with her fanny pack of tools, extras) and ready for any last minute things needed. She was emotional support for family, organizer for vendors, last minute checker of design and setup and all around "that bad-ss lady" that we could defer to for anything! I HIGHLY recommend a planner for anyone who is getting married and I TRIPLE recommend Lori. Her experience, preparation and overall amazing personality made planning our wedding a breeze and not something to severely stress over!

Absolutely amazing. She made our wedding ceremony very personalized and flawless. She also found someone to do the bridal party’s hair last minute due to a cancellation. I cannot say more positive things about Lori, and you will be happy you hired her for your wedding. She makes the day of events seamless.

I couldn’t have asked for someone better for my day. Great communication, went above and beyond! I just can’t say enough good things, such amazing people!!

We are so happy we hired Lori and the Imagine This team! They really were the central point of communication for all of our vendors and guests. We were adjusting the schedule on the fly due to unpredictable weather, but you never would have known. Everything went so smoothly. Thank you for helping us pull off the wedding of our dreams! We will recommend you to everyone we know getting married in North Carolina!

Lori and her team were wonderful! Anything we asked was done without question! The night went smoothly and the day before Lori handled vendor issues the day of without us even knowing. Couldn't have done it without her, best money we ever spent!

You aboslutely MUST hire Imagine This for your wedding planning needs! We used Lori's day of wedding coordinator package and are so thankful that we found her. She was quick to answer any question I had leading up to our wedding day. She ensured that every last detail was taken care of, and on the big day I truly didn't have to worry about a thing. She made us feel at ease on and we could tell she had everything under control. She even had some amazing photo/videography ideas to share throughout the day. Lori was so much fun to work with and I cannot recommend her services enough. My family, bridesmaids, other vendors, and multiple guests have raved about how amazing she was. We will miss working with her!!

Lori with Imagine This Events was an absolute blessing! She not only helped make the day run as smoothly as it did but she was a tremendous help with making sure we had all things covered before the day! We had several helpful meetings where we were able to share our vision and Lori even asked us questions about things we hadn't even thought about! Hiring Lori with Imagine This Events was hands down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! Highly Highly Recommend!

Lori was the best thing I picked during wedding planning! She is literally amazing and could definitely not done it without her. She made my dream day and plan come to life. My dad definitely knows nothing about wedding planning or weddings and ranted and raved about Lori and her team after our wedding! He still talks about how great of a job she did and that everything went off without a hitch and perfectly. I could not be more grateful for her and would choose her and the Imagine This! team 100 times over.

Lori was absolutely amazing! I can’t thank her enough for creating the dream wedding I didn’t even know I wanted. As a full service client, Lori walked me through the entire process. She was able to help me secure vendors for our destination wedding and still stay within budget. And let me just say, my wedding day went off without a hitch. Lori is amazing! And bonus, at the end of the night everything was packed up so we were able to relax with family and friends. Such a treat!

We were so so lucky to have Lori taking care of the details of our big day. She was our sherpa, advocate, and champion during the planning process and made sure our wedding day was everything we had hoped for and more! It was truly magical! The decor was so thoughtfully executed, she helped me with a small bird poop snafu (lucky, they say haha!), helped my husband with his bowtie, made some quick adjustments due to the weather (it sprinkled a little bit - also lucky!), snapped photos on my phone to look at later (so fun!), and packed up one of each of our cakes and cupcakes for us to enjoy later. We were so comfortable and reassured knowing that Lori was making sure everything was going according to plan and on schedule. We enjoyed our ceremony and celebration so much - Lori really worked her magic behind the scenes for us so that we could enjoy every moment and relish in the love and fun. We couldn't have asked for a better person to guide us through our incredibly special day. Thank you, Lori - we are so grateful to have had your help!

Lori and Kendal were absolutely amazing. Lori helped us along the way with multiple meetings to be sure we were on track and helped us make key decisions about the wedding. She was great to work with and we were more than happy with her service. Lori was not able to be there the day of, and instead had Kendal take care of us. Kendall absolutely killed it! She made our day stress free and made everything work so well. They were truly a blessing for us!

Lori and her team are absolutely incredible! As folks who initially thought we could plan and execute the wedding just us as a couple, my number one recommendation is to HIRE THE PLANNER (more specifically, hire Lori)! Lori was extremely helpful in figuring out every-single-thing including timelines, layouts, and all of the things that you would have inevitably forgotten if you didn’t have her. There are so many small details that go into wedding planning that we didn’t know about prior to starting the wedding planning process. We truly do not know how we would have managed the wedding planning process nor wedding weekend without her and her team. They were there to make sure we had thought about all of the details to make the wedding day ours and they were there to make sure we had the most relaxing day. And, most importantly, the Imagine This! Team allowed us to really enjoy the day with our favorite people without worrying with the run of show of the day! We would absolutely recommend any couple to book with her and her team!

Lori is an absolutely wonderful wedding planner. We hired her as a day-of coordinator 45 days before our wedding, which is when it finally clicked for me that I can’t be in two places at once and I needed a right-hand woman. We went to work together right away discussing layout options, timing, and she was even kind enough to let me pick her brain on décor. I knew I didn’t want to give any of my guests tasks, I really wanted to have all of them (including my bridesmaids) feel like treasured guests at my wedding and not my unpaid servants. This, along with the fact that I was planning my wedding from afar, made the cost of hiring a day-of coordinator justifiable for me. My wedding could not have been what it was without Lori. She did everything from helping us find a florist at the last minute, to making our layout plan and coordinating it all with the venue, then doing setup and handling vendor payments on the day, bringing me something to drink while I was stuck in the hair and makeup chair, putting dried lavender and names on every plate, and so much more. The thing I’ll remember most is how she got every single person to sign the guest book by taking it upon herself to take each guest’s picture with my Polaroid camera and directing them to put it in my guest book with their notes for us. I’m not sure it would have happened without her and I might not have had this beautiful treasure. I relied on her talent and knowledgeable opinion on so many aspects of the wedding and she did not steer me wrong. I only wish I had hired her to be my full planner at the beginning of the process.

Lori and the Imagine This team did a wonderful job! On the day of the wedding they were helping set everything up and keeping it organized. After the wedding, many people commented on how organized the event was, thanks to to the Imagine This team!

Lori and her team were a DREAM to work with! Lori helped me on multiple accounts when other vendors were being a pain and not responding she stepped right in and took care if it for me (which she didn't have to do because I just got her day of coordination package)! She got me a bartender and someone to provide me alcohol for my wedding 3 or 2 weeks before my wedding!! They set everything up just as had imagined and we barely were able to go through all that since I lived in PA and the wedding was in NC. She gave me her honest opinions about ideas I had if they were good or not so good. You have to book with this lovely business!!!

Look no further for a wedding planner! Lori was wonderful to work with. Very responsive, super helpful, and will put the perfect finishing touches on your special day. She really cares about you as a couple, and she works hard to help turn your vision into reality! We had the most magical day with Lori as our planner!

Our experience with Lori was seamless and easy! I would recommend her to any of my friends and family. Lori executed our day to perfection ! From the meetings leading up to the day, to the wedding Lori was there every step of the way making sure we got exactly what we asked for. If it wasn’t for Lori I really don’t think our day would have turned out as perfect as it it. We are extremely thankful for her and her amazing work and professionalism.

Planning my wedding was very stressful, it also got to be very scary once the day got closer. But, after speaking with Lori and her team about how my wedding will go on the day of I felt so much more comfortable that i was able to "let go" and give it all to Lori and her team to take care of. Everyone we worked with was very professional and prompt, they stayed very patient with all the people running around - sometimes i know it can be tough for someone to get the whole room to stop and listen but Lori did it and she did it with grace!! I cant thank Lori, Erin and her team enough for how special they made my day!! Would recommend them over and over again!!

I truly can't even begin to write all of the amazing things about Imagine This! and Lori Overstreet. I was actually contacted by her after another wedding planner fell through, which to me, shows how passionate she is about this business. We talked once on the phone, and it was a no brainer to choose her to help plan my wedding and do day-of coordination. Lori is so organized -- she had a check list of things for me to do and dates when I needed to complete them by. If I was having trouble making decisions or not being able to find exactly what I was looking for, she was there to help guide me with the right advice. She is also very personable and responsive. I told her early on that calling/texting was the easiest for me, and she let me know she was available any time of the day, even on weekends, to answer any questions I had or just to check in. On my wedding day, she literally took care of EVERYTHING! She even got my phone before the ceremony to take behind the scene pictures for me! If you are needing any type of planning/coordinating help for your wedding, USE LORI AND IMAGINE THIS!

As a same-sex couple, we had a difficult time finding an officiant that was prepared to not only marry two women, but to speak to our guests in a non-heteronormative way. Lori was WONDERFUL and a dream to work with. Her speech was beautiful, and she did everything she could to make sure our ceremony was tailored for my wife and I. Highly recommend!

Lori is an amazing person to work with! She was such a blessing as we navigated through the peak of covid. She went above and beyond to help make such a stressful time much less stressful. We will be using her again as we plan our anniversary celebration. You will not be disappointed using Imagine This!

So thankful for this wedding planner!!! Lori has stepped up her game due to COVID, emailing and calling any and everyone I’ve asked/ needed. We’ve pushed back the wedding, and let me say planning it is stressful but uprooting it and moving to next year wouldn’t have went nearly as smoothly if I didn’t have Lori. She’s communicated fully with all of my vendors and myself, making sure I know what I want. She’s great with suggestions, and when I texted her that I was freaking out she was on the phone with me within the next 5 mins. Get this planner as soon as you get engaged! I can be very organized, but it’s a totally different game for weddings. You need a planner with style, creativity and passion. We chose the middle package she offers bc you can message anytime, and you meet every month. It includes a walk through your venue and she’s there all day with you! It’s everything I needed and more! This helps all the stress so much! Thanks again Lori, I look forward to next year!

Lori was absolutley wonderful during all of the planning, the ceremony, and the reception. She lets me with nothing at all to worry about and took care of everything I needed (and didnt know I needed!) She was fantastic and I really enjoyed working with her to make my wedding go as successfully and as smoothly as possible. I would reccomend her to anyone! Thanks so much for everything!

I am a photographer in the area and have worked with Lori so many times! She is a joy to work with and is always on the top of her game. If you want your dream wedding you HAVE to hire her!
