My husband and I decided to get a day of coordinator less than 1 month from our wedding. We thought we wouldn’t need anyone because of how organized everything was, but boy were we...
wrong!! Laura was the biggest blessing! She automatically started to communicate with my vendors and me from the moment we sign our agreement! She was willing to stay in the city I was getting married at, so should attend the rehearsal dinner!! Everyone knew what to do, when to do it and how to do it.
To this day I have absolutely no idea of any big issues that occurred on my wedding day and it was because I had the best people around me!! Please please consider Laura as one of your top picks for a coordinator! She truly felt like just a friend who was there to love and support me and my husband!
If you would like more examples on how Laura works please look at the bullet points below:
- She communicated with me on a weekly to see how I was doing emotionally and mentally
- She connected with all my vendors and got me times of when eveyone would come that day
- She assisted setting up my venue so my family could relax as much as possible
- She offered to help create our timeline☺️
- She helped me keep a few distant family members from contacting me the day of with personal concerns
- She offered to assist the photographer gather my family for pictures
And sooo much more!!!

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Laura! From the very first day, she was organized, proactive, and genuinely invested in making our vision come to life. She checked in wit...
h me weekly, always making sure I felt supported and stress-free, and she was full of creative ideas and thoughtful suggestions that made such a difference. On the wedding day, she was early, prepared for everything, and handled every detail flawlessly — I didn’t have to worry about a single thing.
Laura is not only incredibly professional and detail-oriented, but also warm, kind, and such a joy to be around. Her calm, friendly energy made the entire process enjoyable and easy. She truly went above and beyond in every way possible, and thanks to her, our day was absolutely perfect. I can’t recommend her highly enough — every couple deserves a “Laura” on their wedding day!

de, she kept me on my toes without overstepping, provided fantastic vendor recommendations, and on the day of our wedding made life so easy on me and my husband.
