I cannot recommend Lauren and Just Lovely Wedding & Event Planning enough! She honestly changed my life for the better!! Lauren and her team are a one stop shop. Planning, vision, curation, rentals, support, and all with the most authentic kindness you could imagine. She is creative and leans into whatever theme or vision you have and will make it grand. I feel so lucky to have worked with Lauren, and you will not regret the decision. I had so much stress surrounding making our wedding perfect. I wanted a beautiful outdoor southwestern style at a challenging location due to the venue’s limited resources but amazing views, and the moment I started working with Lauren, I knew it was going to be better than I could have dreamed of on my own. She also knows all of the vendors in New Mexico and beyond and will not lead you astray. Also, she could charge so much more for her work, but she keeps things affordable. It is the best decision I could have ever made in our wedding journey! I can’t speak more highly of a person or company!!
We can't recommend Lauren and her team enough. Having her support for the month of our wedding ensured everything went SO smoothly! The other vendors were thrilled too and love working with her. We were relaxed on our wedding day knowing that Lauren was there, and everything went perfectly! Hiring her was the best decision.
We had an incredible experience working with Lauren and her team. Our wedding could not have been more perfect. The planning process was painless and very structured and Lauren was so good about keeping us on track with timelines. On the day of the wedding, we had absolutely zero stress and each minute was pre planned by us and Lauren to ensure things were moving along. Lauren was so hands on especially day of our wedding, working tirelessly to have every little detail the way we wanted. I highly recommend Just Lovely Weddings to any couples looking to plan a wedding!!!
We cannot recommend Lauren enough!!! She is phenomenal!! We do not know what we would have done without her. She is an absolute pleasure to work with and made a stressful process go by stress-free and smooth! She made everything seamless and took all of our worries away. We had an absolutely wonderful time at the wedding and appreciate her help in making our wedding day so special. She truly made all of my wedding dreams come true.
Lauren was so great. She really helped us through the whole process (vendor selection, timelines, creative vision, logistics, etc.). Santa Fe is a small town and it was so great to have someone who knew the vendors and knew how to pull everything together. The wedding community is small in New Mexico and Lauren is the best. We had an unexpected rainstorm during our wedding and I worried 0% about it. Lauren took care of everything and made the rain plan seamless!
Married: September 21, 2024
Location: Bishops Lodge, Santa Fe, New Mexico
Working with Lauren was such a wonderful experience from start to finish! Lauren is professional, attentive to detail, responsive, and made us feel very valued. We are located in San Francisco, but were planning our wedding in Santa Fe, so having a planner with local knowledge and connections was very important to us. Lauren is known and highly recommended in the area, and we already felt confident working with her from our very first meeting to discuss our venue decision.
Lauren was very attentive and helped us bring our wedding vision to life. She is very organized, captured details we had even forgotten about, and helped take stress out of our planning process by keeping things organized, on track with timelines and deadlines, and managing identification of and communication with vendors. Lauren provided us with options but didn’t overwhelm us with too many - she also explained the pros and cons of certain decisions, and helped us to understand which ones would impact our day in what ways. Having the information and options presented in a curated way made decision making less stressful and more efficient. She was also always patient with us when we changed our minds, had questions, or just needed to talk something through!
Lauren’s ability to execute everything smoothly on our big day was also very impressive. Lauren is calm, practical, and adaptable, and having this demeanor for our big event was helpful in assuring everything went smoothly. Anytime something needed to be adjusted, Lauren was adaptable and flexible, both with things out of our control (e.g., weather) and adjustments we requested throughout the day. All of our guests mentioned how beautiful it was, and even many of our speeches mentioned how well organized everything was, how comfortable it was, and how there was not a need to worry about anything leading up to or on the day.
On our day, Lauren was on site with her assistant Leslie, who we also really enjoyed working with. Both of them as a team made our event so special. The planning process and the day truly were “just lovely.”
P.s. would also recommend checking out her rental company, Darling Details. We worked with Lauren to curate many of our rental items through her rental company, so having both of these with the same person/team made it even easier and more organized in bringing all our wedding visions to life!
Working with Lauren was a pleasure from start to finish. Professionalism and kindness were evident throughout the entire process. Lauren made everything so easy and completely as stress-free as possible. I wish I had another daughter getting married so I could work with Lauren again.
Hiring Lauren to be our wedding planner was the best decision my now-husband and I made during our planning process. It was a pleasant surprise to learn that Lauren had already established deep partnerships with many of the vendors that we hired. This was such a valuable benefit because we lived out-of-state. Having Lauren work directly with our vendors made the planning process so much easier. In many instances, Lauren took the initiative to have conversations directly with our vendors to work through the finer details and logistics. This was incredibly helpful to us because it allowed us to focus our attention on other areas of the planning. We had full confidence in Lauren to have these discussions without us present because of her deep expertise as a wedding planner.
Despite being in different states, Lauren was always available to answer questions and acted as a sounding-board to brainstorm ideas. Lauren’s expertise was on full display on the day of the wedding. She was the glue that kept the day running smoothly and managed communication with family, vendors, etc. This made it so much easier for my husband and I to relax and enjoy the time leading up to the ceremony. Lauren is an absolute professional who will go above and beyond to help make your dream wedding come to life. It was also incredibly easy to work with Lauren on the decor rental and her inventory is beautiful!
I can’t say enough about how working with Lauren made our planning so much easier and I would happily refer her to any couple that’s planning a wedding.
I have had the pleasure of working with Lauren from Just Lovely Weddings for the past two years as a videographer, and it has been amazing. Lauren is not just a wedding planner; she is excellent at creating unforgettable moments.

Lauren's work seamlessly orchestrates every element, from design choices to intricate details, creating a magical experience. She pours her heart and soul into each wedding. Lauren has assembled a dream team that contributes to flawless event execution. Their professionalism and expertise reflect her leadership and commitment to excellence.

Working with her has been enriching, and I look forward to collaborating on more magical weddings in the future.
Lauren/Just Lovely was amazing to work with! Our wedding truly couldn’t have happened without her support. Her organization and thoughtful attention to detail were essential to the success of our wedding. Plus, her experience doing so many weddings allows her to bring “best practices” regarding the order of events, who should do what, and all of the little details that we never would have thought about on our own! We highly recommend Lauren/Just Lovely for your next wedding/event.

Lauren at Just Lovely Weddings is literal magic. If you want to have the most flawless, beautiful wedding of your dreams, work with Lauren, just do it. When we first met with Lauren, we showed her some inspiration photos and talked about what we envisioned for our wedding, and she 110% delivered. Because of Lauren, we got to fully enjoy our wedding day with absolutely no stress. She is seriously the BEST.
Lauren is amazing!! She helped answer so many questions as we planned our wedding and coordinated everything so flawlessly. She also truly went above and beyond on our wedding day when we were hit with crazy weather—all day rain, thunder, and hail!! Lauren not only communicated so well and eased our worries all day as we wondered if we would be able to hold our ceremony outdoors. She made sure we got a beautiful golden-hour walk down the aisle outdoors, RIGHT during a good weather window, and then gracefully moved everyone indoors and helped us keep things moving when thunder and hail hit right after we made it to the altar! It ended up being even more special than we ever could have imagined, and Lauren made it all happen without a hitch. She truly seems to know every wedding vendor in the state of New Mexico and is such a pro in every sense of the word. We loved working with her!
So grateful to Lauren and her entire Just Lovely Team!
My husband and I were planning our wedding in Santa Fe, NM from a distance and were looking for a local wedding planner who knew EVERYTHING about the New Mexico wedding circuit. As a couple planning from California, we wanted someone who was completely unphased by our venue (La Posada de Santa Fe, also a strong recco!) and knew local vendors inside and out.
We interviewed several local wedding planners but loved how Lauren was extremely design-oriented as well as organized-- and our wedding venue coordinator couldn't have recommended her enough. Lauren also owns Darling Details Rentals, which means she is a one-stop shop when it comes to planning and designing your wedding, from rentals, other vendor management, to day-of planning and setting up.
She took our vision boards and brought it to life perfectly within our budget - working closely with our floral team, sourcing sage bundles to give to our guests, designing and creating all signage, even creating an incredible custom seating charts with beautiful vases and lavender blooms.
The day of went perfectly without a single hitch.
There is NOTHING Lauren cannot do! Thank you Lauren and Lesley for bringing our wedding to life.
My husband and I just got married in Santa Fe. Lauren was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. She gave excellent advice about local vendors, connecting with all of them, and making us feel like our wedding would be as stress-free as possible. Where she really shone was in the little details that we never would have thought of that made the reception/dinner so much more personal. The day-of was so enjoyable for us because we didn’t have to think about anything, Lauren took care of everything. We could not have asked for anyone better to coordinate our wedding, and I would highly recommend. Thank you so much, Lauren!
Lauren and her team at Just Lovely were incredible to work with. Lauren was all-in, so organized, proactive and the true subject matter expert that I was looking for to guide me through the wedding process. Lauren is passionate, detail-oriented, responsive, hands on, and so much more--she's everything you look for in a wedding planner! You can really tell she loves what she does and her experience really shines through. She anticipated things before they arose and handled things on my special day so I didn't have to worry about a thing. My only wish is that I would have hired her sooner in the process!
I was so impressed with the decor aspect of the wedding and specifically the reception that her and her team executed FLAWLESSLY. It was truly the reception of my dreams thanks to them and our amazing vendors.
I would highly recommend Just Lovely to any future bride!
Lauren was an absolute godsend to us! We had worked with a different planner previously who wasn’t the right fit for us and when we hired Lauren she picked up exactly where we left off seamlessly! She helped us through many changes in our plans and gave us advice with everything that we needed! 10000/10
Lauren was our day-of coordinator and she is an absolute superstar. We cannot thank her enough for making our special day so unforgettable. From the moment we met her, it was clear that she genuinely cared about us and our vision for the wedding. Her kindness and warm personality immediately put us at ease, and throughout the planning process, she went above and beyond to ensure every detail was taken care of. On the big day, Lauren's impeccable organization and attention to detail were evident in every aspect of the event. She flawlessly executed the timeline, coordinated with vendors seamlessly, and handled any unexpected challenges (which she also shielded us from so we wouldn't be stressed on our wedding day!) with grace and efficiency. Thanks to her, we were able to fully immerse ourselves in the joy of the day without anxiety.
What truly sets Lauren apart is her incredible ability to think of important details that others might overlook. She started working on our schedule with us about six weeks in advance, so we felt confident that there was enough time to hammer out all the little details. She also uses great software that streamlines some of the smaller details--like seating charts--and allows you to really be intentional about envisioning your day.
All of Lauren's planning came to life on our big day, and it was just perfect. From ensuring that every centerpiece was perfectly aligned to making sure our relatives with mobility issues had comfortable seating, she thought of everything. Lauren's thoughtful touches and consideration for our guests made them feel cared for and special, adding an extra layer of magic to the celebration. Her expertise and professionalism shone through in every interaction, and we felt reassured knowing that she was taking care of everything behind the scenes. We can honestly say that hiring Lauren was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding, and we are forever grateful for her role in making our day go so smoothly.
If you're looking for a day-of wedding coordinator who will not only meet but exceed your expectations, look no further than Lauren. She is an absolute joy to work with, and her passion for her craft is evident in every aspect of her work. Lauren's kindness, attention to detail, and warm, joyful personality make her services worth every penny. I can't recommend her enough.
My husband and I had the very best experience possible with Lauren and Just Lovely Wedding. She and her team were kind, professional, organized, proactive, and hugely helpful. I cannot recommend them enough!
The very first time we met with Lauren to discuss my daughter's wedding, I came away with the feeling that it was so nice to work with someone who was excellent in their job. As we progressed in the planning, this became more and more apparent - Lauren was focused on my daughter's vision, what we needed to do when, had wonderful recommendations for vendors, and kept us on track. Her organizational skills are excellent, and she is very familiar with the popular wedding websites, enabling us to make good use of them. Her demeanor is very calm, confident, and positive. On the wedding day, we all knew each step of the day, Lauren and her assistant worked tirelessly to ensure everything was set up and then taken down. I recommend Just Lovely and Lauren without reservation. Thank you SO much, Lauren!
Lauren and her entire team were absolutely fantastic.
I hired Lauren immediately because every single person I enquired about who the best wedding planner in town is, they'd always put Lauren at the top of their list. When we first met, I was drawn to her bubbly spirit and immediately felt a peace of mind. Her attention to detail is beyond exceptional and she truly was the orchestrator who made my wedding day one of the happiest days of my life. She made it feel like I just showed up to my wedding and it's something I am forever grateful for.
Thank you to the entire Just Lovely Wedding & Event Planning team. You made my dream wedding come true.
We absolutely loved working with Lauren! Our wedding day ran so smoothly, and a huge part of that was her help. I'm a very detail-oriented person, and I knew from the first time we talked that I could trust Lauren to help me carry out my vision for the wedding. She is so thorough, but also incredibly kind. She was a joy to have around on the wedding day!
Working with Lauren was simply amazing. We hired her for full service planning and right from the beginning she was incredible to work with. She was the perfect balance of empathetic and professional throughout every step of our 18-month planning process. Our meetings were always efficient, she understood our priorities and concerns, and she had the best suggestions in terms of vendors, flow, and small details like our guest book. Having Lauren as a partner gave us peace of mind and, thanks to her, our wedding day was an absolute dream. We can’t recommend Lauren (and her team and Just Lovely) enough! Four thumbs up!
I can’t say enough positive things about Lauren and her company. Lauren is kind, professional, responsive, and brings so many good ideas to the table. She helped design and coordinate our wedding and made it 1000x better than I could have on my own. She makes it look effortless, but it’s obvious that she puts her heart and soul into her work and it shows. Please don’t hesitate to contact her and use her services—if I could go back and do it over, I would just pay to have her do everything (she’s that good). Cannot recommend her enough!
Lauren and her team were absolutely wonderful! From the moment we signed our contract, Lauren was so attentive and helpful. She stepped into our month-of coordination with intention and gracefully handled all aspects (including my many questions!). We can't recommend her enough 💗
Lauren and her team were INCREDIBLE!!! She is so experienced and has dealt with every possible wedding speedbump, is super organized and has an amazing way of making your wedding vision come to life. She took every bit of stress out of the planning of the wedding and she made the day incredible! Not only is she an expert planner, but her design experience and creative eye made our wedding day even more special. Thank you Lauren and the rest of the team for helping us throw the best party ever!
Lauren was such a joy to work with during our wedding planning. We used her partial planning package and she truly went above and beyond for us. From the vendor suggestions (which were all amazing!) to her incredible eye for all of the tiny details (she helped put together the tablescapes of my dreams!), we felt so lucky to have Lauren’s help. She put together timelines, helped us with vision boards, and everything else we didn’t know we needed. The day-of, she was everything we could have asked for. We used her rentals company as well (Darling Details - which we also highly recommend!) and she was there first thing in the morning making sure everything arrived on time, was put together in the right spot, and just generally taking care of everything that I didn’t even know was happening. She was such a calming presence on the day and I felt so confident knowing that she was taking care of everything. I was able to relax and enjoy the perfect day, and I know she was an integral part of that. Highly highly recommend Lauren and her team!
Our wedding was amazing and it was certainly because of Lauren and her assistant. We selected the month of coordination and it was such a smooth process. We met with Lauren a month before our wedding, provided our vendor list, ideal timeline, and did a walk-through of our venue. She was so knowledgeable about the venue, timing, seating charts, placement, and design. Even early on Lauren was so helpful with providing recommended vendors and providing direction as to what would fit our budget. The day of was a dream. The execution of our wedding was perfect in everyway and Lauren and her assistant knew exactly how to manage the vendors, the venue, us, and our guests. I would hire Just Lovely Wedding & Event Planning again!
It's hard to overstate what a wonderful wedding planner Lauren is and what a pleasure it was to work with her! I'm honestly not sure what we would have done without her. She took every major hurdle (including postponement due to the pandemic and an intense, last-minute, and utterly unexpected hailstorm on our outdoor reception) in stride and somehow made everything feel seamless. Our wedding was absolutely stunning and it's all thanks to her! Look no further for your wedding planner!
Lauren was amazing at putting our event together. We hired her for month of coordination. We had a good amount of details put together ahead of time, but Lauren helped to put together final timelines and coordinate everything with our vendors. Being from out of state, she was a huge help for our destination wedding. She coordinated our rehearsal the night before and even drove to Santa Fe to pick up my bouquet when the florist couldn’t deliver it. What impressed us most and made the service worth it was all the help day of. Besides my bouquet, we did all other flowers through bulk flowers of loose stems from Costco and Lauren and her assistant styled and assembled centerpieces and an arch that looked like they were from the most expensive florist around. She also made a beautiful acrylic seating chart. We didn’t have to worry about a single thing and my bridal party didn’t lift a hand and could enjoy themselves all day. The day went flawlessly and you could tell how much hard work and care Lauren put into our event, when all was said and done we were very thankful. She took our ideas and transformed them into something better we couldn’t have done ourselves. Look nowhere else for coordination and styling for your wedding or event! Lauren has the magic touch!
Lauren helped make our day so beautiful. Her design expertise was so helpful and truly could not have been prettier.
Lauren of Just Lovely is an actual angel. She went above and beyond on expectations, she is super organized, has great relationships with other vendors in the area and is just a wonderful human. Lauren stood by our side during the whole pandemic, where our venue downsized their size of events and Lauren helped us have a totally seamless transition. We couldn't have been more grateful to have her guidance and support and I would recommend her in a heartbeat. Professional, smart, kind, organized and awesome.
Lauren was a complete angel throughout the craziness that is planning a wedding in 2020/2021. When our venue cancelled all 2021 weddings she helped us with cancelling all our contracts and then when we decided we wanted to elope to our original venue she helped get that set up for us. This was all within months from original contracts, to canceling contracts, to elopement details. So a complete rollercoaster and Lauren handled everything seamlessly. She also helped navigate all our streaming options as we wanted our family to still be able to participate in the wedding. Our wedding was still everything and more, even though it was just the two of us which is largely in part due to Lauren and all the immense effort she went to for us.
I cannot say enough about how amazing Lauren is. She basically planned two weddings for us- one pre-covid, and one during cover. She not only helped me manage (stress-free) planning a wedding for 100+ people, but when plans changed, she helped me un-plan, and re-plan, an elopement instead. Wedding planning is a stressful endeavor in the best of times, but in 2020 the rules changed. Lauren was a dream support system for my groom and me and helped make our wedding beautiful and special despite the times- she even performed our ceremony! She is a special woman and an expert in her field. She is well connected and refers only the best vendors. Anyone planning a wedding of any size or style would be lucky to have Lauren on their team. We can't thank her enough for everything. SHE IS THE BEST! xo
Lauren was an outstanding wedding planner! She went above and beyond for our wedding! She helped us hire vendors, gave helpful advice, and really distilled what my husband and I felt was the overwhelming prospect of planning a wedding. Not only is Lauren an extremely talented event planner, she is an exceptionally nice person to be around. We can’t speak highly enough of her and think her services made our wedding day so much more enjoyable!
Just Lovely Weddings was a joy to work with throughout our wedding planning process. The heart and conscientiousness Lauren devotes to Just Lovely Weddings and Darling Details Rentals is evident in the outcome – Lauren brought our dream wedding vision to life!
With the partial wedding planning package, Lauren curated a vision board to fit our needs & wants, helped us coordinate with other wedding vendors, constructed pertinent timelines, organized meticulous details including tablescapes and furniture rentals, and provided insight and suggestions throughout the entire process.
Lauren genuinely listens to her clients’ needs and concerns. Her creative thinking helped navigate some minor wedding hiccups, such as last-minute logistical changes at our venue.
Lauren’s professionalism and respected reputation in the wedding industry allowed for seamless interaction between other vendors to create wedding magic!
I highly recommend Lauren at Just Lovely Weddings and her rental company Just Darling Details for your wedding needs!
The best decision we made during our wedding planning process was hiring Lauren! I don’t know how anyone could plan a wedding without a Lauren. She kept us organized and on track with every detail (some things you would never have thought of) from start to finish. My favorite part of working with Lauren was her creativity and experience. I wanted our wedding to be unique, and she thought of so many creative ways to do that! (Not to mention she has the most AMAZING collection of furniture and decor rentals!) There were a lot of moments that we didn’t think something was possible but Lauren waved her magic wand and made our day a fairytale. I can’t thank her enough for all of her support and stress-eliminating work she did for us. She helped this control freak not have a “bridezilla” moment once. I tell everyone I know that if they are considering a wedding planner, they MUST meet Lauren: The MVP of the wedding season!
Lauren was amazing! Not only is she the sweetest person ever, she will make sure your day is flawless. She thought of so many things I never would have thought of and made sure we were taken care of all night. Highly recommend her, she’s worth every penny!
Lauren is amazing! I can't say enough good things about her. We planned a destination wedding in Santa Fe from the East Coast so I had high expectations of what a wedding planner would look like and Lauren blew my expectations away. I interviewed multiple coordinators in planners in ABQ/Santa Fe and Lauren immediately stood out from the rest. Within five minutes of speaking with her I knew that she was detail-oriented, organized, creative and the exact type of person we needed on our vendor team. She was a dream to work with through the entire process; she always responded quickly, had answers for all of my questions and knew exactly what needed to happen next. We had a large wedding weekend with multiple events and moving pieces and Lauren went above and beyond to make sure everything was in place and that we were happy AND stress free the entire time. Multiple times throughout the weekend our families said "Lauren was the best money spent on this weeding" and it couldn't be more true. If you're a bride looking for a wedding planner, look no further! Lauren is the best!
Planning a destination wedding is not easy, but having Lauren by your side is insurance that your wedding will be flawless! Any little fires that arise (to be expected) are solved by Lauren's positive attitude and can-do spirit. Lauren is organized, prompt with correspondence, has a great working relationship with all of the vendors, and as a bonus, is happy to put her artistic skills to work for any signage you may need.
Lauren leaves no stone unturned which is crucial with all of the details that go into wedding planning. Hiring Lauren to your team is not only money well spent but also a welcomed peace of mind!
From the moment we met Lauren at our initial meeting, we felt as if we knew her for years. Her demeanor and passion for her work gave my wife and I peace of mind that our wedding would happen the way we envisioned. My wife and I attempted to plan and coordinate a wedding on our own. Had it not been for the hard work and passion from Lauren our wedding would have not been the same. She was organized, punctual, and enthusiastic. She truly made our wedding day special. She coordinated between vendors, she had printed itineraries for the bridal party, decorated, anything you can think of she had it and was on top of it. She is truly amazing at her craft. Thank you Lauren.
Lauren is literally the absolute best. She and Brianna took ALL of the stresses of planning away. She understood my vision perfectly - which was super important to me as I was trying to plan it from afar. She was able to match my style with several local vendors and it all turned out FABULOUS. I can't say enough good things about how helpful Just Lovely was in making my special day amazing. 10/10 would recommend to friends getting married in New Mexico.
Lauren is amazing! I cannot say it enough. This woman goes above and beyond to make your wedding day absolutely perfect. This comes from someone who is not into wedding planning and even "borrowed" Lauren from her friend, who's wedding is coming up soon. She is worth every penny. Our guests are still talking about how lovely the wedding was and as far as I know it went off without a hitch!
Lauren is absolutely amazing to work with! Highly reccomend hiring her for your day of coordinating needs. A list below of why!!
1. She does not limit your vision, she was so supportive and positive of my ideas and really wanted everything that I wanted to work out, she didn't force her ideas on me but kept with what I wanted. She certainly offered very helpful suggestions but never in a why that made me feel she didn't like my ideas, even if they were a little different!
2. I actually work at a wedding venue and do planning on the side part time so I was extremely particular about EVERYTHING (I know, super annoying) but Lauren did not miss a beat, she covered every detail and followed up on every single e-mail, call, text, request, etc.
3. She executed what we had planned. She followed through on all her commitments and made everything happen so seamlessly. She made the day so easy for us we didn't have to worry about a thing.
4. She stays calm throughout the day with a smile on her face. Even if something was going wrong or running behind, we had no ideas because she always stayed calm with us and made us feel relaxed and comfortable. She was always there when I had a question but also let us have our space to enjoy our guests.
Lauren is fabulous, PLEASE HIRE HER!!!!
I found hiring a wedding planner to be one the most challenging aspects of the planning process. I wanted someone highly competent and organized, who was also kind and easy to work with. Lauren exceeded my expectations. Our vendors all liked, respected, and trusted Lauren, and she made excellent decisions for our wedding. Our day was wonderful, and we have Lauren to thank for that. My husband and I were able to relax knowing that Lauren could manage everything seamlessly. Hire Lauren and listen to her expert advice.
Lauren and her team are detailed, communicate well, know the business and get stuff done. I couldn't have done it without her! From the day I met her she understood my needs and took complete ownership. I never had to tell her twice and my wedding day was a breeze thanks to her!! Thank you Lauren!
Lauren was simply amazing, and well worth the cost. We had to plan a wedding from out of town and on a short timeline, and working with her made it possible. She captured our style and vision right away, so I knew I could trust her to make perfect recommendations for us. Definitely recommended!
Lauren is AMAZING!!! I worked with her first as a vendor and learned very quickly how organized she is and how very much she cares about her brides... Needless to say when my daughter became engaged she was the my first phone call!!! She is beyond sweet, REALLY listens, cares deeply about what the Bride & Groom want and their true vison and goes way, way above and beyond to make sure the tiny details become a reality! She bends over backwards to be flexible with schedules and works tirelessly prior to the wedding establishing timelines, calling vendors... hair & make-up artists, muscians, florists, transportation providers and on and on and on. Then on the event day ... she is there bright and early setting up, making sure everything is just as the bride wants it to be and that the event runs smoothly, she stays on top of everyone (catering managers, bartenders, servers, band members, etc...) and then POOF, makes it all disapper magically! I love her dearly and can't imagine how anyone could handle a wedding without Lauren and her Just Lovely Wedding associates... She also has a rental company with the most fabulous items - we used her chargers, lanterns, brass candlesticks, glass cylinders, copper chairs, copper vases, beautiful gold flatware, mercury votives... and MORE! She is truly a wedding angel!
Lauren is truly amazing! She went above and beyond to make sure my wedding was everything I had always dreamed of from start to finish. Thank you Lauren for everything! We couldn’t have done it without you!
Lauren made sure everything was perfect so my fiancé (now wife) didn’t have to stress and was able enjoy the day. Thank you Lauren for making it the best wedding ever!
Lauren is outstanding! We were married in Santa Fe and almost everyone was from out of town. She was totally organized, thought of all the extra details and followed through. She was extremely flexible and her presence allowed me to enjoy our wedding day even more! Would definitely choose Just Lovely again.
