Lora Wardman Events

I hired Lora in early 2019 for my April 2020 wedding. Lora did a great job of holding my hand along the way. She is organized, knowledgeable, and has a kind, calming presence. Unfortunately, my sweet fiance and I had to reschedule our wedding (that was only six weeks away!) due to the unexpected outbreak of COVID-19. Lora addressed our concerns immediately. She has been there for me, answering--in a very timely manner--every panicked phone call, e-mail, and text message. She took initiative and contacted all of my vendors so that we could postpone our wedding to a new date in 2021. She was decisive, cool-headed, and organized when I needed her most. In short, Lora is incredible. I highly recommend her. I know she'll do a great job on our wedding day.

Choosing Lora to be our coordinator was by far the best decision we made involving our entire wedding. I felt completely safe, confident, and relaxed with Lora as our month-of coordinator. She was AMAZING and my whole family really loved working with her. I was planning my wedding from out of state and throughout the year I asked Lora for recommendations or advice and she was so helpful. From our first meeting, she really took the time to get to know me and my husband and our vision. The day of the wedding, she and Sonya set up all of our decorations around the venue even better than I envisioned. Lora made things flow so smoothly and our wedding day was everything we wanted and more, thanks to her help. She's basically a designer, planner, decorator, and therapist all in one- she knew how to calm me and keep me excited about the wedding when I got worried. I can't give enough kudos to Lora, she and her team are amazing.

If you need a Wedding Planner, Lora is your person. I live out of town and our daughter who lives in Orlando wanted their wedding in Orlando. Lora came to the rescue. She knows everyone, got us exceptional vendor pricing and is so easy to work with. She can do it all and always with a smile. And she not afraid to tell you when you have an idea that might not work or is too costly. I will call her to do our other daughter’s wedding because she also can do destination weddings too. She was reasonable and so worth it! Love her!

The moment I started planning for my wedding, I knew I definitely needed to have a coordinator on the day of because I wanted to just relax and not worry about a thing. After spending countless of hours and days looking for a wedding planner/coordinator I found Lora’s website. Reading some of the reviews helped, but I also had a good feeling about her so decided to contact her. From the very first meeting we had with Lora, and every other day leading to our wedding day, she was truly a joy to work with. She listened to all our concerns/needs, and gave us recommendations to anything we needed help with. I didn’t stress at all during the last month leading to my wedding day because I knew I was in good hands. On the day of, Lora brought my ideas to life exactly the way I envisioned! We hired Lora to be our day of coordinator, as well as our florist. Everything looked really beautiful, and all the flower arrangements were gorgeous!! Our guests wouldn’t stop raving about how pretty everything was. She and her team definitely went above and beyond to make us all feel like royalty. I’m truly glad I found Lora when I did because she’s just beyond amazing. I couldn’t have asked for anyone better. Thank you!!!

There aren’t enough words to say how incredible Lora is! We had an hour long phone consult before we even hired her & she was already giving us advice and suggestions for our big day. The month before the wedding, we had our first face-to-face meeting and while it was actually 3 hours long, it only seemed like an hour! She is very thorough and so easy to talk to. She knows the ins and outs of weddings and has so many different ideas if you need help with décor, timeline, ceremony, etc. She definitely goes above and beyond for her couples and will do whatever it takes to help your day run smoothly. 100% recommend Lora and her team!

From our first meeting, Lora was professional and went above and beyond to make sure that we were stress-free and enjoying the wedding planning process. She assisted with the big items like ensuring we booked Orlando’s top vendors for our wedding to the smaller touches like having the wedding tables look even more beautiful than we had envisioned. When we started working with Lora, the only wedding theme or idea we had was that we wanted a fun week. She took that vision and helped make it a reality! Lora not only helped us plan our wedding day, but she helped plan a week of events for our wedding guests including a welcome BBQ, golf outing, and an elegant yet relaxing rehearsal dinner. The entire wedding week flew by, but we know that was because of the hard work she and her team had been doing behind the scenes for months. Their attention to detail of every aspect of the wedding made it a beautiful, memorable, care-free week. We could not be happier with the week’s events, the wedding, and all the details of our wedding including the planning process. With Lora, we were able to have the wedding of our dreams and made a life-long friend!

After taking part in multiple weddings, one of the things I knew I wanted for our wedding day was a day of coordinator. We could not have made a better choice with Lora! She went above and beyond my expectations for her services, multiple walk throughs of our venue to configure a plan, making a detailed time line for the day before and of the wedding, picking up our numerous decorations, favors, etc. the week of the wedding, bringing together my vision on the day of and making it look even better than I imagined! Lora and her assistant also made sure everything ran smoothly and took care of issues that I didn't even know about until after the honeymoon, exactly what I wanted! They also made sure we were never without a drink in our hands or in need of anything! We were incredibly impressed with Lora and can not thank her enough!

From the minute we met Lora we knew she was going to be a perfect fit for us. We found her because my sister who is a photographer knows her. We used her as a "Day of Coordinator" but she went above and beyond that. Words can't express how thankful we are that we got to work with Lora. If you are getting married you need her in your life. She is amazing!!!

I can't say enough about Lora! She made me feel special from the day we met. She understood our vision for our big day and worked tirelessly to make it happen for us. She is personable, professional, fun, and the absolute BEST wedding planner!

I would give Lora 10 stars if I could. I can't imagine a better wedding coordinator. She dealt with my crazy family and any obstacle with class and a calmness that made everyone around her relax. I know for a fact that my husband and I wouldn't have enjoyed the best day of our life without her. She not only tackled everything amazingly on the day of the wedding but was able to calm me down a million and one times the weeks leading up to the wedding. She is an expert in all wedding fields and can help you work with any vendor. I will recommend her to all of my closest friends. Just a few examples..our cake did not come with the flower topper, 15 minutes later there it was, we also magically ran out of beer, and very soon after, the suds were again flowing. She is an expert in shielding the bride and groom from any unforeseen obstacles so that they can fully take in the day. We set out a timeline of how we wanted the day to go, and she was able to deliver at almost to the minute precision. I can assure you, that you will not be disappointed.

We were referred to Lora by multiple friends, and she was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Lora did both our floral and our day-of coordination. My wife is originally from Georgia, and her favorite color is orange. We decided to do an orange and pewter color scheme and incorporate oranges for FL and peaches for GA. I also, late in the process, decided to use some of my late grandmother's silver as part of the decor, and Lora accommodated every update or change with grace. Lora spent a lot of time with us (as much as we wanted) to ensure that she truly understood our vision, to share her ideas and sketches, and to answer any questions we had. While our intention was to make our wedding very personal and an authentic representation of us, we had so many people tell us how lovely and sweet our wedding was. The ceremony and reception spaces were beautiful, my bouquet was gorgeous, and everything was simply stunning. My wife and I loved that we could trust Lora to do all the floral but also to let go of all worries and let her run the rehearsal and the day so we could simply be present in the moment. She took care of everything! We would highly recommend her to anyone! (The price to the left includes both day of coordination and the floral.)

Lora is amazing!!! As a bride there are so many things on a to do list, and she was there to take on the major and minor tasks. She was our one day planner and I felt like she went above and beyond her services. She responds very fast with emails and texts, is willing to bring in her own extra supplies, and truly has the best intentions with the bride and groom. Her expertise in local vendors was outstanding and knows many people in the wedding business. Her price is great for what she offers. I recommend her to everyone! Love her! - Andrew and Megan

English Gardens is a wonderful venue for weddings. Lora and her team are amazing.

Lora is great. I had absolutely no worries about my wedding. I had a 1.5 hour consultation and with her and literally did not speak to her again until 3 days before the wedding and everything was perfect! Additionnally, her bouquets are perfect and vibrant. The lady knows her flowers! She picked the perfect flowers for me and I had no flower names. My guests could not stop raving about how beautiful everything was. Also, Lora made me feel special and mine was the third of the day with more left to go(11.11.11). The only downside is that email is the best form of communication for Lora and I have a phone preference.

This venue was absolutely beautiful! Lora was great and took care of all the details for me! I recommend this for any event!
