LCR Events

I wish I could give Lauren and her team more than 5 stars!! We worked with Lauren for the entirety of our wedding planning process and she made it a BREEZE. I was so stress free the entire day of my wedding and it went perfectly without a single issue thanks to her and her team. She helped us with everything from vendors to meals to day of details. Truly the most amazing experience - RUN to LCR Events if you’re planning a wedding. We couldn’t have done it without them!!

Don’t walk, RUN to LCR events if you are planning your wedding or other special event! Lauren Stanco is such a pro and capable of juggling so many things at once, I’m convinced she’s superhuman. The level of detail in her wedding timeline and the competency with which she coordinated our many separate vendors was so impressive. And perhaps more importantly, she was always a text away to answer a question, set up a call, or generally quell any of the anxieties that popped up along the process — and that is an invaluable quality in someone who is helping to shape your wedding day. Day of coordination went off without a hitch too, and Lauren’s additional staff lived up to every expectation. Couldn’t have done it without her!

I am so happy that we chose Lauren as our wedding planner. She is INCREDIBLY organized, always calm and friendly. She made sure our day went absolutely seamlessly. And her team is amazing too, from tying bowties, to wrangling groomsmen, her teammate Greg was a life saver. Seriously could not have been more happy to have Lauren as our planner.

Lauren is the best! Hiring her was the best decision we made in our wedding process. Our wedding day went off flawlessly thanks to Lauren and her incredible team. They were a pleasure to work with and we didn’t have to worry about one single thing on our wedding day! She was efficient, quick to respond to all of our questions, and very detail oriented. She worked with all our vendors to put together an amazing timeline and her advice was so helpful throughout the process. Highly recommend hiring LCR Events!

You need to hire Lauren!! Our wedding and the entire planning process was an absolute dream come true thanks to her. From start to finish, Lauren made sure we felt calm and enjoyed every single moment of our day and throughout the planning process. Our timeline was absolutely perfect- we had the most calm, enjoyable morning and every single person in our bridal party has said this was the most stress-free wedding they have ever been part of. I am extremely organized and Lauren took our organization and planning to another level - her attention to detail is unmatched. Lauren worked with all of our vendors and the time and effort she put into planning every small detail with us did not go unnoticed. From answering all of our emails at all hours, and helping us coordinate all the moving parts of both our wedding and rehearsal - her entire time was incredible to work with and my husband and I are forever grateful. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect, the best day of our entire lives, and a day that we will never ever forget. Not only did we have an amazing time - but all of our guests did too and it was apparent how much hard work and effort went into the entire day. Lauren made our wedding a dream and took any stress off of us so we could have the most enjoyable day. Not only is she an amazing planner, but an amazing person and the absolute sweetest!

I helped my son and fiancé find an onsite wedding coordinator for their 150 person wedding in Tarrytown at Goosefeather at their last minute ! I thankfully found Lauren and LCR ! Lauren completely understood what we needed as we did not make use of her entire planning services and provided us with Greg, one of her team members who used a run-of-show I prepared and executed EVERYTHING seamlessly, professionally and brought a wonderfully personality to work with. We could not have been more pleased. If I had known about Lauren well in advance of the newlyweds "last minute oh no!", I would have gone with her in a heartbeat. She was wonderful to work with especially on such short (days) notice. I HIGHLY recommend engaging LCR (but please start at the beginning of the process !!!).

If you’re looking to make wedding planning easy, enjoyable, and fun- look to Lauren! She is organized, thorough, and a wonderful person to spend time with. We absolutely could not have pulled off our wedding without her!!!

My wedding day was beyond perfect and I have Lauren and her team to thank for all of it. Working with Lauren up to the wedding day was incredibly easy. She took so much stress of planning off our shoulders. Lauren was kind, efficient and timely with her responses whenever we had questions and thought of so many details I never would have. She gave great advice and was always available to talk through our decisions. The day of the wedding went without any bumps due to Lauren's amazing timeline and her thoughtful team. We would highly recommend Lauren to anyone planning a wedding or any event.

Lauren and Staff are clearly pros at giving you the perfect day. We hired LCR as a "day-of coordinator," though they were with us side-by-side throughout the months leading up to the event. Lauren was on top of wrangling our other vendors (and us!), along with doing so much more, taking away almost all of our stress as we got closer to the day. She was extremely well prepared for any and all of the curveballs we were thrown and without her, our wedding would not have been the wonderful time it was for us and our guests. On top of her and her staff being absolutely amazing at their job, the price of this service is incredibly worth it - in fact they ended up paying for themselves by saving us money elsewhere. My wife(!) and I would recommend LCR to anyone who will listen, for weddings and any other major event. I cannot list in one post all the different ways that Lauren and team helped us, but in every way the quality of the work was exceptional. If you want your day to go perfectly, we would absolutely suggest that you make sure to have LCR at your side.

Hiring Lauren was the best decision we made for our wedding. My fiancé and I did not know what we were doing, and Lauren guided us through everything. She gathered vendors for us, wrote out our budget, and organized everything day of. With her help, our wedding the most incredible day of our lives. Beyond the technical skills, she is trustworthy and an absolute pleasure to work with. Lauren delivered value way beyond her price, and we absolutely recommend her for any big event.

We had such a productive experience with LCR Events! As a vendor, I found them easy to work with, professional, and meticulously attentive to detail. Wedding plans evolve and change and the staff at LCR were on top of everything; communicating to all involved!

You need to hire, Lauren! As one of the first of my friends to get married, I didn’t understand the true value in having a wedding planner until I had one. I thought I could do it all myself. I’m telling you right now, you can’t do it all yourself/you shouldn’t. You need Lauren. Lauren was incredibly organized throughout the entire planning process. She helped ask questions for things I hadn’t even thought of. She thought of a contingency plan for everything. Her day-of timeline was realistic and ran so smoothly. She truly is an angel that helps make your wedding day be stress free. My husband, the bridesmaids, my mom - all loved Lauren. She took care of everything! Also, I have to mentioned that the groomsmen though Greg was amazing! Greg kept the guys on track and answered their questions throughout the morning as they were getting ready. LCR Events is a no brainer for your next event. Lauren is 10000% worth it

My wedding day would truly not be what it was without LCR events! From the first conversation, Lauren was helping me think through all the different aspects of the wedding to ensure that it was our dream day. She helped me find some AMAZING vendors and put together a dream team. Our wedding was planned at a unique venue that was 80% outdoors and on the day of it ended up raining. Lauren, Greg, and Sarah were amazing keeping us calm and adjusting the schedule to work around the weather. They worked diligently throughout the day and night to ensure all the vendors were organized and that everything was done accordingly to plan. Lauren is incredibly responsive and helped answer any questions no matter the time of day. I highly highly recommend Lauren and the rest of her team at LCR events and cannot wait to plan future celebrations with them!

My husband and I got married on August 13, 2022 and the day was an absolute dream thanks to our amazing coordinator, Lauren! When we first got engaged, I knew we'd need so major help with the planning process. We hired Lauren as a Day of Coordinator but she went above and beyond throughout the entire process. She kept contracts organized, assisted with communication with vendors, and kept us on track. Lauren was always available to meet in person or virtually. She is INCREDIBLY responsive and would answer all of our questions within moments of us sending them. Leading up to the wedding, she worked with all of our vendors to create the day of timeline of every bride's dream. All our our vendors loved our organized and detailed she was, and when the day arrived, each second ran so smoothly. I highly recommend Lauren and the rest of her team at LCR Events. You will not regret working with her!!

Lauren, Lauren, Lauren...it is difficult to describe how incredible this women and her team were on Jeff and my wedding day. Thank you to her and Greg for making our wedding day at the Bronx Zoo an absolute dream! Well, first of all, Lauren is not just a day-of coordinator. She is so much more than this. She is a therapist, a cheerleader and the most attentive to detail I have ever seen. If you want someone so meticulous, organized and friendly, look no further. Lauren had a timeline for our wedding day planned out MONTHS in advance and was constantly changing this to fit our needs. She contacted every single one of our vendors personally months before the wedding and often up until the day. On wedding day, she was calm, cool and collected while still making everything happen seamlessly. She was very patient with my family who can be difficult at times through the entire process. I would recommend Lauren and her team to anyone looking for the best wedding coordinator in the NYC/CT area.

Lauren and her team were absolutely incredible to work with. She worked so hard to join every call, meeting, offer advice, was consistently reachable and always responsive and so much more. She put together a bulletproof timeline to keep everything moving, took so much off of my plate to communicate with all vendors and day-of, gave us so much peace of mind so we could have the absolute time of our lives. I do not have enough good things to say about her. She is the best and made our wedding the wedding of our dreams!

We had a great time with Lauren as our Day Coordinator. She helped my wife and I with a lot of advice and helped us get through some difficult times as far as understanding the wedding and chain of events. We appreciate her and her team for making our wedding day go as smoothly as possible.

Lauren took care of us every step along the way. She was incredibly attentive and organized. She was also friendly and understanding (which can be just as important as the wedding day approaches). She was calm and collected on the day of the wedding, which made things so serene and easy for us. She seamlessly managed all of the contracts and all of the vendor relationships. We would highly recommend LCR to anyone!

Lauren and her team are absolute pros at event planning! She is thorough and organized, and can start-to-finish drive home your vision for the perfect day!

Lauren was always so responsive no matter the time of day or night. Her timeline was so detailed, everything was thought of and planned out. Her team did a great job of set up at the venue while we were at the church and pictures and made the whole day flow seamlessly and she really took a load off my shoulders planning wise. Would absolutely recommend her to other brides!!

Lauren was such an amazing help from the first day I brought her and her team on. She helped us navigate all of our planning and her knowledge and attentiveness led to a flawless wedding that was perfect in every way. Greg and Sarah were so amazing and helpful the day of the wedding as well. Everyone that interacted with them during the wedding couldn't stop gushing about how great they are.

Absolutely flawless planner. I can not say enough about how Lauren made my daughter's wedding day perfect. She met every challenge with calmness and care. Thank you Lauren for everything!

Lauren was excellent! She was very knowledgeable and gave me great suggestions. Lauren made planning my wedding enjoyable and helped to keep me calm when things were overwhelming. I would highly recommend her as a wedding planner.

I’m not sure we could have made it through the chaos of planning a wedding during a pandemic without Lauren there to help organize and guide our way. She was incredibly helpful and transparent when we needed to modify our wedding into a mini ceremony followed by a reception a year later due to restrictions from Covid. Her and her staff were so helpful, and she even offered to help coordinate our mini ceremony at no cost to us when we had to make our changes and one of her staff members went to several spots to find shoe stoppers for my mom. Above and beyond barely scratch the surface when describing what she and her staff did for us. Lauren responded quickly to our questions, often thought of things that we had completely forgotten about, and made sure no detail went unplanned. I am so thankful that we found her to help organize and plan our big day, and recommend her for anyone’s wedding coordination needs.

Could not have planned my wedding without Lauren! At first I wasn't sure I needed to hire a planner, but was so glad I did. Lauren was so flexible and easy to work with and she kept me on track throughout the entire process. Not only that, but the day of was so well organized and everything ran smoothly thanks to Lauren and her team, would absolutely recommend!

Lauren was outstanding. We were a covid wedding who changed dates 6 times over two years. She came to the intimate wedding at my parents home then drove to Jersey a year and a half later for a second wedding. She was organized, helpful, kind, and I would have been lost without her. She is now a friend of mine and I will use her again in the future for baby showers and kids birthdays!!

Due to the pandemic we rescheduled our wedding three times, and Lauren was a massive, massive help keeping us organized with all the changes. She always looked out for our needs in discussions with other vendors, asking all the questions we never would have thought to ask ourselves. Thanks to her, our wedding day ran extremely smoothly and multiple guests commented how professional and helpful she and her staff were! Highly recommend.

You do not realize how badly you need a wedding planner until you have a wedding planner. There are so many little things to consider and think about and Lauren helped fill in those gaps. Her pricing is extremely reasonable and she was able to put her foot down where it needed to be put down. It wouldn’t make sense to NOT hire LCR Events.

Lauren and her staff are absolutely amazing. Literally saved the day at our wedding by completly managing an inexperienced, lackadaisical and disorganized venue/caterers. Highly recommend LCR not just on the basis of execution, but just to have awesome people to hang with and ensure your day goes smoothly. If you read this, stop and call her

If you're considering getting a planner for your wedding, let this be your sign to hire Lauren and her team. We hired them for our wedding and we could not be happier! Lauren has been there for us since we started planning (3 years ago) and was so supportive and helpful to us when we had to postpone for Covid. Lauren made a detailed timeline for literally every minute of our day and because of her and her team making sure we followed that timeline, our day could not have gone smoother. Our families did not have to worry about a thing, LCR was on top of every detail! We're still getting comments about how amazing they were. We are so grateful for her and seriously could not have pulled this off without her! Thank you LCR Events!

I hired Lauren as a day-of planner for my daughter's wedding, and she exceeded every expectation! It was a wedding in our backyard in Scarsdale with 230 guests, so not an easy endeavor--especially during covid and with Hurricane Henri heading our way. Lauren was there for us, every step of the way, thinking of details that never would have occurred to me. Her team was also terrific. I could not have been happier.

Lauren and her team are on top of every detail and it was amazing to have her throughout the planning process but especially the month leading up. She ensured we thought of everything and also helped us make decisions that we weren't sure of. She is organized, thoughtful, and made planning fun!

If your hesitant about hiring a wedding planner, I can assure you it’s the best decision my husband and I made for our wedding. In the beginning, people we talked to said “you don’t need a wedding planner, the venue handles everything” - I learned very quickly that is so far from the truth. Lauren and I met 2 years ago after I already planned my wedding. Once my venue and all my vendors were booked, I realized I wanted someone who can connect all the dots and insure everything would run smoothly on my wedding day, leaving me without any worries so that I can actually enjoy my wedding day. I hired Lauren for “Day Of Coordination” but to say she only helped with day of coordination is a complete understatement. Lauren is the ultimate wedding planner, covering every single detail you could ever imagine - she discussed details with me I would have never even thought about, reviewed every contract I had and worked with my venue and vendors. When COVID hit, Lauren made sure I remained calm and we worked through the bumps in the road together; she helped me through 3 date changes and a last minute venue change - if I didn’t have her through COVID, I really don’t know if our wedding would have turned out as amazing as it did. Lauren was available to me nearly 24/7 it seemed! When I emailed her, I would get a response in less than an hour. She allowed me to text or call her whenever I needed as well. She attended vendor meetings in-person as well as on the phone. Lauren created the ultimate wedding timeline that would be given to our venue and vendors; every minute was planned out perfectly to the T! Not only did we have Lauren for our wedding day, we had her amazing co-worker Greg who stayed with my husband catering to his every need, along with two other hard-working staff members who set up our wedding venue exactly how we envisioned it with our decor. Lauren was by my side from start to finish on my wedding day, she handled everything - there wasn’t anything I needed to think about or do, she took care of it all. I cannot thank her and her staff enough for helping me plan/replan a wedding through COVID, and in the end everything turned out perfectly, just like a fairytale. Most importantly, Lauren’s pricing is extremely reasonable - you get SO much for your money! I could go on and on forever about Lauren and her staff, but I encourage you to see for yourself how amazing she is … I promise LCR Events will not disappoint! Trust me, everyone needs a wedding planner - I’m OCD organized and pay attention to every little detail, yet there were things Lauren brought to my attention that never crossed my mind. Hands down, best decision my husband and I made. The greatest part is, I gained a good new friend throughout all of this & look forward to remaining in touch with Lauren!

The best decision I made regarding my wedding was hiring Lauren and her team. After a COVID postponement, I was completely burnt out and was looking for a day of wedding coordinator to make sure I didn’t have to worry about a single thing on that day and truthfully, I got that and more. We had a 200+ guest wedding that began with 2 separate getting ready locations, a church ceremony, photos in yet another separate location and then finally the venue - Lauren and her whole team made sure everything went according to plan. So thankful to Lauren and her team at LCR- I wouldn’t have enjoyed my wedding day half as much without them. I danced the night away knowing they were handling everything behind the scenes.

We hired Lauren and her team for some extra hands on the day of wedding and they were absolutely wonderful. Our timeline was flawless and the day moved so smoothly - we somehow even had some down time built in and were able to soak in the day. Greg did an amazing job with the guys, making sure they ate and didn’t drink too much (haha), along with adjusting boutineers and ensuring everyone was where they were needed at all times. Lauren truly has a talent for corrdination and an eye for every detail. All of my anxiety and stress melted away that day knowing I had her and her team.

Truly an outstanding job from start to finish! After deciding to have our wedding at Blue Hill at Stone Barns, Lauren was our next stop, so she was with us from start to literally the last person we said goodnight to after our wedding.  A total first class act, knows how to get a wedding planned and fantastic to deal with, she was tireless in making sure no detail, no matter how small, was overlooked.  She helped guide us through the process of hiring great vendors (musicians, DJs, photographers, florists) and then interacting with them to make sure they understood all of the details of our wedding - things as small (or BIG) as what version of Ave Maria we wanted playing as we walked down the aisle.  Lauren was outstanding at making recommendations but never pushing her agenda - she wanted us to have a great wedding that was ours.  And we did. It was a perfect day.  Lauren and her team showed up at our house early (the bridal party all got their hair and make up done here) and one of her team was with each of us the entire wedding.  Never overbearing but always there at critical junctures to make sure we were on schedule. I cannot emphasize how important this was - you have hundreds of people who have travelled to see you - the last thing we or you want to do is waste precious time when you can be talking to or dancing with your family and friends.  And we never had to worry or fret over any detail or what was next.  Lauren and her team kept everything flowing so we could focus on having a great time. And Lauren stayed with us until the very end to make sure we got all our stuff into cars and home safe. Bottom line - Lauren and LCR nailed it.  We had an amazing wedding.  Without Lauren we would have overlooked so many of the small details that make a great wedding unforgettable.   Highly recommended with zero hesitation.  Enjoy your wedding  - every second of it!

This is a late review, but I just want to express how amazing Lauren was with my wedding, which was June 23, 2019. My mom hired her because things were beginning to get overwhelming and she needed help. Lauren exceeded our expectations and was probably one of the best decisions we made for that day. She was always available to speak when we needed to and even came to our food tasting with us. She always went out of her way to make sure we were satisfied and happy. My entire wedding day she ensured that everything went smoothly. We are so grateful that we found Lauren! We highly recommend having Lauren be your coordinator.

Phenomenal Day of Wedding Planner I hired Lauren Malang Stanco, Founder and Lead Planner of LCR Events to be our "day of" wedding planner. Lauren was that and much much more. After contracting with a number of vendors on my own, I became overwhelmed with the amount of time it was taking me to plan my daughter's wedding. Hiring Lauren was hands down the best decision I made. Not only is she a pleasure to work with, she is the consummate professional who responded to my many texts/emails day and night. Her opinions were invaluable and her recommendations for vendors or items I had not thought about were superb. She created the timeline, which unbeknownst to me was the vehicle that ensured nothing was missed on the wedding day. In fact it was from reviewing her timeline, that I discovered how the "first look" occurs. I would never have known that otherwise. Like everything else, Lauren ensured that the "first look" was pulled off perfectly. Lauren was so much more than a "day of" planner. Lauren did everything from visiting the venue prior to the wedding to make sure she knew where everything would take place, to accompanying us to the food tasting, to overseeing all of the vendors at the wedding and to handing out the favors at the end. She even distributed the tips at the wedding, and informed me prior to the wedding day what the tips for each person should be. Solely because of Lauren and her staff, my husband and I were actually able to enjoy the wedding. Lauren also brought two assistants to the wedding, one of which was a man who stayed with the Groom and made sure all his needs were attended to and to make sure he was where he needed to be. During the wedding, with Lauren in the background, we did not have to deal with a single issue. She made sure my daughter had the wedding of her dreams. Lauren is outstanding and I can not recommend her highly enough.

My husband and I took a risk and chose a venue that had never held an event before and was still under construction when we chose it. When a few months before we found out that construction still wouldn't be finished by our wedding date, Lauren and her team quickly came up with a Plan B that was even BETTER than our original plan! Our wedding went off without a hitch. We got rave reviews from our friends and family and turned a DIY wedding into a chic, unique affair. Lauren was incredibly creative, resourceful, and just a joy to work with from start to finish. She thought about everything and was always five steps ahead. She and her staff were the best. Our wedding wouldn't have been the perfect day it was without her! Thank you Lauren and LCR events!

Lauren and her team were perfection from start to finish! We got married at our house and hired every single vendor she recommended. She was organized with a military-style precision but was calm as a cucumber - a unwavering source of knowledge and support. Our wedding was perfect and we have Lauren to thank for that!

We hired Lauren as our Day of Coordinator & it was the best decision we made! She is extremely organized and easy to work with! Lauren was genuinely excited about our wedding and it showed through her work. I wasn’t too nervous to plan the wedding, but we also didn't know the in’s & outs. Lauren was encouraging the entire way. Lauren was happy to answer my quick random questions & reminded me of many wedding "musts" that I would have totally overlooked without her help. Lauren kept us on track the entire time!! Aside from the fact she makes you feel confident in your plans, she has great style and taste! She is thoughtful & realistic about every detail to keep the wedding day vibe, expectations, and schedule in check & you are totally able to trust her. I hope to work with Lauren again soon!

Proprietor Lauren Stanco couldn’t have done a better job for us. She is lovely to work with and on top of every detail. She is also reasonable in her pricing, and is worth every penny. We would certainly use her again and definitely recommend her.

Lauren saved me from wedding planning hell. I've been calling myself the Anti-Bride from the very beginning, I loathed the whole process of planning but Lauren instantly turned everything around for me. I hired her as my Day Of Coordinator but she also assisted for a few months leading up to the day. She was extremely helpful from start to finish. She reminded me of little wedding tasks and details that I hadn't even thought of. She met with us at our house first and then helped set up a meeting at the venue for a walkthrough as well. She had 2 assistants on the day of the wedding which was super helpful. Greg - who was awesome too! - stayed with the guys all morning and Lauren was with me and the bridal party. Everything went off without a hitch on the day and any hiccups that came, Lauren was ON TOP OF IT. I was so happy to have her on the scene and behind the scenes. Thank you so much for everything Lauren!!

As soon as I met her, I instantly felt relieved and for the first time, excited. I was engaged for 3 years because the whole wedding planning process was just so frustrating for me. I either needed a wedding planner or I was about ready to pack my bags and elope, something that neither my mother or mother in law would have approved of. Lauren was there for me every step of the way, answered all my questions and she really made planning my wedding fun and stress-free. Her organization skills and attention to detail are truly the best of the best. The day of my wedding came and it went off without a hitch. Lauren and her assistant were there for me every time I needed them, sometimes without me even having to open my mouth (like grabbing my beer for a picture lol) they just knew what I needed, and thanks to her, my big day was nothing short of perfect. My venue provided people to help throughout the day, however, I met them once in the morning and then never saw them again throughout the day and night. If it wasn’t for Lauren, I don’t know what I would have done. She truly is a miracle worker, hard working, dedicated, and just a great and fun person to work with and be around!
