Laurel Events went above and beyond what I could have asked for! Bay was so great at helping plan our wedding and her eye for floral is amazing! The design board she created for our day, was exactly what I had always envisioned and she brought ...

all of the ideas in my head to life! We had to postpone our original wedding due to Covid, and she was right by our side throughout the whole re-planning process! Bay even helped by adding on last minute florals for a small ceremony on our original wedding day. The month of the wedding, Bay basically took over 100% which was so helpful because I had so many other details for the weekend, that I had to focus on. Then the day of the wedding, Bay and her assistant knocked it out of the park! I never once felt stressed or anxious about the event, and it was all thanks to their coordination! So many of our guests mentioned how much they loved all of the floral, from the table arrangements, to the cake, to the church, to the big installs at the receptions that they put together for us! Bay and her team are seriously so good at what they do, and I am so happy I found them!
