If you’re looking for a wedding planner who delivers absolute perfection, Lauren is it. Our wedding at The Don CeSar was nothing short of incredible, and that’s entirely thanks to ...
her and her team.
From the very beginning, Lauren provided exceptional vendor recommendations—every single one exceeded our expectations and helped bring our vision to life flawlessly. But what truly set her apart was the way she and her team anticipated our needs before we even had to ask. Every time I *almost* thought of something—whether it was help securing my veil or wishing I had a drink while on the dance floor—someone was already there with the perfect solution. It felt effortless, seamless, and completely taken care of.
Because of Lauren, we were able to be fully present and actually enjoy every moment of our wedding weekend. Not once did I feel stressed or overwhelmed—just relaxed, happy, and soaking it all in. That kind of experience is priceless.
Afterwards, we all kept saying the same thing—we have genuinely never met anyone as exceptional at their job as Lauren and her team. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and ability to execute everything flawlessly are truly unmatched.
Everything was absolutely perfect, and we’ll cherish those memories forever. If you want a truly stress-free wedding with a planner who goes above and beyond in every possible way, Lauren and MDP Events is the one.
Lauren was a dream to work with! She is the sweetest, most organized, and professional planner. She made the day seamless and so perfect there was not one thing that went wrong! Sh...
e has relationships with all vendors and made it so easy to communicate with everyone and stay on track. I could not recommend someone more!! Thank you Lauren for helping bring my vision to life and going above and beyond you’re amazing!!!
Genuinely I don’t know where to begin. If you think you don’t need a planner, you do. And you probably should get the full package. Lauren literally made my wedding dreams come tru...
e. I had booked a venue already and knew she had worked there before so I already trusted her with my life. I still don’t have words to articulate how thankful I am for her. Her patience with my numerous questions, her intense organization skills, and her ability to just understand exactly what you’re envisioning. I feel like I met a unicorn with her. She kept me on track for the entire year and a half of planning and made sure every deadline was met and we had every vendor ticked and tied. She was always responsive whenever I had a random question and we would be in constant email communication which as a stressed out bride, I really appreciated. Leading up to the wedding day was another level. She knew exactly what I wanted the wedding to look like and I knew she was going to achieve it but she truly went above and beyond. It wasn’t out of my Pinterest board it was 100x better than Pinterest. On the day of she was the biggest stress reliever and just such a positive reinforcement. Her and her team especially, they even helped me bustle my dress and make sure everything was perfect for me. I cannot recommend her enough. She made the wedding truly what it was. Everyone needs a Lauren.
Lauren is organized, professional, kind, and fun. Her team was excellent. Hiring her for our wedding was the best decision - best wedding planner!
I cannot say enough good things about Lauren and her team. She is truly a LUXURY wedding planner. I met Lauren when she was the wedding planner for my best friend’s wedding and imm...
ediately I was impressed. She was elegant, knowledgeable, confident, and graceful. When it was my turn, I knew I needed to work with Lauren and it was the best decision I ever made. Lauren was sent to my by God and I truly believe that. She made wedding planning so enjoyable. She would quickly, honestly, and confidently answer any question I had. She always calmed me down and made me feel better when I was worried or overwhelmed. She worked diligently to get me what I wanted. She took the time to get know my fiancé and I as a couple and to get to know our style. By the time the wedding came, she was able to make decisions knowing exactly what we would want to execute the vision. I trusted her so much that anytime she had an opinion, I immediately listened to her and it totally paid off. She thinks of everything before the wedding day and discusses it with you so that on the day of, you get to enjoy your day. Her timeline is so thorough and well thought out. Her vendor recommendations are top tier and if you use any of the vendors she recommends, you can do so with ease and confidence. Although she does not require you to use her recommended vendors, Lauren has high standards for herself and her brides and you can tell the vendors she works with meet those standards. On the day of the wedding, Lauren and Erin did everything they could to make sure we had a wonderful day. She was responsive the morning of as she was diligently working to execute our vision. Both Lauren and Erin would constantly ask us what we needed and if we were doing okay. There is not a single thing that Lauren promised and could not deliver on. We had a wedding of 250 people and a bridal party of 24 people- Lauren and Erin were able to manage everyone with such ease and keep us on time. Their energy is so calming and approachable. Throughout the wedding, they would constantly bring us drinks, food, ice cream and anything to make sure we actually had a great experience. At the end, they packed everything up for us and had it sent to our room as discussed. Lauren is the best in the business and I am so thankful we chose her to be our wedding planner. During the planning process, I sent so many photos from Pinterest that I started to worry our wedding would be a copy of other people’s weddings. When I saw my reception space, I was brought to tears. Our wedding looked just like the photos and nothing like them all at the same time- it was unique to us and still inspired by the photos we sent. It was our very own fairytale. Our wedding day was a dream come true- it was truly magic and Lauren was our magician. We love Lauren and her team so much and will forever be so grateful to them.
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Erin from MDP Events! Our wedding was rescheduled twice due to hurricanes, and through it all, Erin went above and beyond to make sure ev...
erything fell into place perfectly. She handled every challenge with grace, professionalism, and an unwavering positive attitude that kept us sane during such a stressful time.
Erin is more than just a wedding planner—she’s a true lifesaver. Her attention to detail, problem-solving skills, and genuine care for her clients are unmatched. I honestly couldn’t have done it without her. Thanks to Erin, our wedding day was everything we dreamed of and more. If you’re looking for someone who will go the extra mile and treat your wedding as if it were her own, look no further than Erin and the amazing team at MDP Events!
Lauren and her team made our wedding a true dream come true! I cannot say enough about MDP Events! It was a pleasure and joy working with Lauren for over a year (from multiple stat...
es away) to plan the most amazing day of our lives. She masterfully planned every step of the way and always kept us on track. We were so well prepared that we were able to actually enjoy the few weeks leading up to our wedding knowing that everything was in order. Lauren curated the most incredible vendor team that made our day feel like the perfect reflection of us. She understood our vision and made it come to life. I am a detail oriented person who likes to see a good plan come together so I thought I’d be stressed on our wedding day wanting to make sure everything went as planned but I didn’t think about it for a second. I felt so relaxed on our day, not a worry in my mind, knowing Lauren and her team had everything handled. Everything was flawlessly executed! Working with Lauren and her team was the best decision we made for our wedding and we would recommend them to anyone and everyone!
We worked with Lauren for partial planning for my May 2024 wedding at The Westin in Sarasota and had a great experience. I am not local, so we appreciated Lauren’s willingness to ...
coordinate site visits with my visits to Sarasota, and she gave us several vendor recommendations at the start of the planning process. We also really appreciated that she reviewed all of our vendor contracts before we committed. She worked with us on a very detailed timeline of the wedding day that we would review together several times before the big day, so we always felt organized and on top of things. On the day of, we felt very relaxed and able to enjoy the moment because Lauren and her team had all the vendor/planning details under control at the venue!
We worked with Lauren as our day-of coordinator for our March wedding at Selby Gardens. Lauren was so easy to work with, happy to answer any and all questions, and really made the ...
wedding day completely stress free! From going through the timeline of the day making sure I actually got to eat the delicious food, to even helping bustle my dress - Lauren was there for me through it all!
Lauren and her team at MDP Events were absolutely incredible and made all of our wedding day dreams come true. From the start, Lauren worked with us to help us make sure all of our...
wishes were attainable and helped us work outside the box to create a truly magnificent and unique wedding day. Lauren was always accessible and was able to answer all of our questions with ease, leaving us feeling confident in our decisions. She is an exceptional planner and we would recommend her to any couple who is looking to make their wedding day unforgettable. We cannot believe our special day is over, and wish we could do it all over again with Lauren and her team! Thank you Lauren and MDP Events!!
Lauren was fantastic to work with as our day of coordinator! She really listened to our needs and made sure the wedding day went smoothly!
The GOATs, MDP Events. It’s impossible to express how much love I have for this team. I have experienced other weddings as a bridesmaid and as a guest, so I was fully prepared for ...
our wedding day to have its bumps, to have its imperfect moments. When I say our wedding day was perfect - I mean it was flawless. And all the credit goes to Lauren & Erin. I am an ADHD girlie and I can struggle when I’m juggling too many things at once, I have a hard time prioritizing & not getting hyper-focused on one task and forgetting the rest. This team was like medicine. They are so organized and they provide so much support throughout the whole process. They keep you on schedule and help you focus on what’s important, when it’s important.
I had a very specific vibe I was going for, but the picture in my head was blurry when it came down to details and specifics. Lauren was incredible in listening to me, seeing my vision, and bringing that vision to life. She provided me with a perfectly curated list of vendor options, each one matching exactly what I was going for. And the way it all came together was beyond anything I could’ve ever dreamed of.
Honestly I laugh at what our wedding day would’ve been without this team, I probably would’ve given up around the 9 month mark. Wedding planning can be overwhelming and stressful, but if you have the opportunity to make it easier, to make it feel lighter - it is 1000% with MDP Events. They are a joy to work with, and the absolute best humans. They gave my husband & I the wedding of our dreams and I wish every set of fiancés could experience their magic. So much love for y’all xoxo

e us great and thoughtful advice. From creating a perfectly smooth and seamless timeline, to ensuring every detail was just as we wanted, our day turned out exactly as we had dreamed. Lauren made us feel calm throughout the process and on the day of, and took care of all the behind the scenes details to make sure we could relax and have fun. Thinking of all the little things, even grabbing us drinks and our late night food. We are so grateful for having Lauren and her team on our wedding day and can't recommend them enough for the planning process!
Lauren & Erin exceeded every expectation we had when looking for a month of coordinator. Lauren came recommended by our venue and we were so thrilled we were able to work with her ...
for our October 2023 wedding. They provided so many wonderful resources to us throughout the planning process. We live in Texas so our Lakewood Ranch, FL wedding was out of state for us and a majority of our guests. Finding a trustworthy & experienced planner was crucial for us as we needed someone who knew local vendors and was able to provide recommendations. They did just that and more! We had a venue walk through where Lauren & Erin attended and everyone in my family was just so impressed with their expertise and professionalism! If you want a stress free wedding day do yourself a favor and hire MDP Events! We were blown away and we can't thank them enough for making our wedding day perfect!!
We hired Lauren as our Month of Planner. I could not have planned this wedding without her help and guidance. She was communicative, professional, and knowledgeable. We're not from...

e way to plan a fantastic anniversary party. Our song is Everlong by Foo Fighters, which we wanted to incorporate into our event and the rock and roll theme was so fun. MDP Events planned each detail perfectly and we only had to arrive, have fun, and leave. It was flawless. We had so many compliments on the details of the night, and everyone had a blast. I will use MDP Events for any and all future event planning I have! Thank you for making our day so special.

verything was flawless. She communicated with all vendors and ensured they had everything correct the day of the wedding. Through the process she becomes your right hand, someone you can turn to for all the details. Her prospectus she created for us was praised by all vendors, including the venue. It made sure everyone was organized and on the same page - there was no room for mistakes. I would have been lost without her and can’t thank Lauren enough!
I cannot recommend Lauren enough!! She is kind, professional, detail oriented, organized, and so fun to work with! She made Robert and I feel so special on our wedding day as she w...
orked to make every moment perfect (which it was). We truly felt like royalty on our wedding day. And Lauren was also just a joy to be around and felt like we were old friends having fun throughout the day. I have 0 complaints with my whole wedding day, which was surprising because I thought at least one thing would go wrong, but Lauren handled everything so wonderfully that the entire day felt seamless and effortless for Robert and me. Lauren gave us the ability to be worry-free and just enjoy our wedding day. Our day was nothing but love and happiness and we owe that to Lauren orchestrating every detail!
My daughter Amy's wedding was eleven days ago and I am still basking in the glow of the beautiful, love-filled event. Having Lauren as our wedding planner is one of the main reason...
s that my memories are so sweet. Lauren took care of EVERYTHING for us with such meticulous care and good-natured warmth that I was able to simply relax and feel the joy. And, I can say all this truthfully in spite of the fact that we had some lighting equipment challenges as well as threatening weather, both of which could have been disastrous were it not for Lauren's calm composure and resourcefulness. When you plan a major outdoor event you really want to know that the person you hire will be able to manage any potential glitches that come your way. Lauren is your person!
I can’t express enough how happy I am that I chose Lauren as my wedding planner! She was wonderful at providing vendor recommendations as well as discussing ideas and details to ma...

She was always quick to answer any questions that I had and made sure I wasn’t leaving out any details! She even brought us each a drink directly following the ceremony and snacks during our photos! Our whole entire day ran so smoothly and effortlessly that it allowed us to just be present and enjoy every moment and not have to think about anything else! It was just sheer perfection thanks to her! Thank you so much Lauren for making our wedding day the absolute best day of our lives! It was truly a dream and we could not have done it without you!❤️

ong the way so that we could enjoy the happiest day of our lives to the fullest. And always went above and beyond!
Lauren gave great advice and referrals too - being only part time residents, we needed her professional connections and recommendations - and they were top notch.
The best part was knowing on the day of the wedding that EVERYTHING was taken care of - and finding out later that she had even taken care of things we didn't know about :) in order to ensure the best day for our family, friends and ourselves. Look no further - she is amazing, and we are ever thankful!
Lauren is absolutely sensational!! We are so grateful for her in making our big day run seamlessly. Her attention to detail, professionalism and positive attitude translated to a z...
ero stress experience for us. We had rain in the forecast (which we thankfully avoided) and she was on top of coordinating and communicating the back up plan.

Our wedding was more than we could've imagined - a completely flawless event thanks to the hard work and dedication from Lauren!
Hiring Lauren as our wedding planner was the best decision I made all throughout the planning process.
I think back to my early wedding planning days and how I got mixed reviews ...
on whether I needed a planner or not. And, oh my god, our wedding would have been a stress-ridden disaster without Lauren. Truly.
I hired her as a month of coordinator, but even 11 months out, she answered every question I had, provided easy solutions for problems or concerns that came up, gave me top-tier vendor recommendations, checked on me regularly, and always assured me that everything would be perfect. And it was.
Her problem-solving abilities and eye for detail are unmatched! And anything you throw her way, she takes it with a smile. Her confidence, style, and positivity were such a comforting presence to have on a day when nerves and emotions are high! But I did not worry about a SINGLE thing on my wedding day. Because I knew Lauren had it covered.
If you're on the fence about hiring a wedding planner like I was, go with Lauren. I promise you, you will not regret it. My wedding day was the best day of my entire life, and it wouldn't have been had Lauren not been there.
Where do I even begin? Couldn’t have planned the wedding without Lauren! I hired her for month of coordinator and she was absolutely amazing!!! She answered all of my questions mon...

She is such a team player— someone who will works so well will all your vendors & makes sure your special day is everything you’ve dreamed of.

r. Not being from the Sarasota area we really didn't have a clue on what to expect. Lauren provided us with 5 star vendor recommendations and even came with us to pick out the cake! She helped us through all the prewedding activites and made the process stress-free. The day of the wedding was executive flawlessly. Lauren handled all set-up while my wife and I were able to enjoy ourselves on the big day. It was a day both of us will never forget and we cannot thank Lauren enough for the job she did!

fferent vendors and immediately took away all the stress of planning a Siesta Key wedding from Virginia. She was patient with me as I changed my mind probably a million times and always had a smile on her face. On the day of, she was extremely attentive to us even as she was running around making sure everything ran perfectly (also in the midst of a threatening rain storm)! If you're looking for a wedding planner who can do it all and will go above and beyond meeting your expectations, then look no further than Lauren at MDP Events.

thorough, has an immense sense of detail, and is very responsive. You can tell that Lauren takes a lot of pride in her work because no stone is left unturned. I walked into my wedding venue with a vision on our walk through, and the next time I saw my venue Lauren had brought that vision to life. I can’t recommend Lauren enough. Her patience, kindness, and genuine passion for wedding planning really shines through when you work together. Thank you, Lauren! Without you, my wedding day would not have been the same!!

spoke with several planners before deciding to go with MDP Events and I am so grateful to have found Lauren. She listens to your vision and knows how to bring it to life. She is patient, understanding, creative, organized, punctual, and maintains the most calming presence throughout the wedding planning process. I am a Type A bride who wants every detail to be perfect and whenever I would change my mind on a decision or come up with unique ideas, Lauren was always quick to make the change and accommodate my requests. She never misses an e-mail and always makes herself available to jump on a call. Thanks to Lauren, my husband and I were so calm and enjoyed every moment of our wedding. Countless guests commented on how all three weekend events ran so smoothly without a single mishap and how every detail was so beautiful. Our wedding weekend was the most fun, beautiful weekend of our lives and it would not have been possible without Lauren & MDP Events!

Lauren did an amazing job for our wedding! As a detail-oriented Bride I knew I needed a planner who was just as detail oriented! Lauren demonstrated that from day one. She was able...
to put together a comprehensive timeline and answer questions leading up to our wedding day. She kept all of our vendors and the wedding on track for our big day. She was very responsive and each vendor we choose appreciated her details and communication multiple days prior to the big day.
There was also a possibility we were going to have the move the reception indoors due to weather (72 hours before!) and she worked with us and the vendor team to be ready if that was needed. Luckily, we kept the original plan and it was a beautiful day!
My husband and I searched through many wedding websites for a planner that would work with our budget, timeline, and ideas for our ceremony/reception and Lauren was that and SO muc...

pieces. Lauren not only helped us navigate everything leading up to the day, but she also handled every shift the day-of with such grace and ease. She managed all timelines + logistics during the wedding so we could enjoy and be in the moment. The day was perfect because of her! AND, not to mention she's a complete pleasure to be around. So kind, fun, and caring. Lastly, she comes with a wonderful list of recommended vendors. Coming from out of state where you don't have time to meet with a bunch of people, it was a wonderful resource!
Lauren was fantastic. We were planning the wedding from out of state and must have sent Lauren north of 100 e-mails and held a baker's dozen phone calls to ensure we were happy and...
satisfied with all the details. She was very organized, has great prep materials. Our biggest source of anxiety was not knowing what we didn't know - Lauren solved that issue. Her temperament is a huge asset on the day of the wedding as well. Very composed - we had zero stress that everything would be handled. Frankly, if there even was a mishap behind closed doors, we didn't even know. She's that good! Would definitely recommend her to anybody.

Lauren with MDP Events was truly such an amazing planner. She made the whole process so smooth and always eased my fears. The wedding was so magical, and better than we could have ...
even dreamed and it was in great part because Lauren was so in tune with what we wanted. Her attention to detail and great personality made the whole experience so enjoyable! She provided a great timeline leading up to the months prior, as well an added bonus timeline and checklist for honeymoon! She also had a great spreadsheet on who/how much to tip specific vendors which was a lifesaver! We did multiple walk-throughs before the wedding at the venue, and Lauren made sure to take note of everything we talked about. She made a very thorough prospectus that included all our vendors’ info and a detailed timeline down to the minute. She didn’t miss a thing! On the day of the wedding I had no worries because I knew she making sure every detail was perfect. Her and her assistant were so fun and kept me fed on wedding day also which is huge! I couldn’t be happier with our experience. Highly recommend!
Where do I even begin… If you are looking for a wedding planner, your search is over! Lauren is an absolute dream. She helped me plan not one, but TWO perfect weddings. After worki...
ng together for a few months we very quickly planned my dream wedding. She understood my vision right off the bat and helped put together the most perfect team of vendors. We were then thrown a curveball, when my then fiancé and I found out we are expecting a little girl! We decided to move up our wedding 8 months, and Lauren welcomed this challenge without hesitation. I was disappointed that I wasn’t going to see the wedding we planned come to life, but this new wedding was the definition of perfection. Every last detail was exactly as I dreamed it would be, and it is all thanks to Lauren. She communicated with everyone and made sure this process was as stress free as possible for us. If you are looking for someone who will go above and beyond to make your vision come to life, and has the resources to do so, Lauren is your girl. We are forever grateful, and will be recommending her to any and everyone!

Lauren of MDP events is amazing! She helped my fiancé (now husband!) and I throw together a wedding rather quickly after cancelling our original plans due to covid.
Lauren helped ...
me plan my wedding from NY. With just a bit of information Lauren knew exactly what I was looking for and who to contact. Every suggestion of vendors along the way was top notch and was more than amazing day of.
Lauren by far exceeded our expectations especially the day of the wedding- her being there and being so on top of things really allowed us not have to worry about a thing. I truly feel I got to enjoy every minute of my wedding. I 1000% am so glad to have found and worked with Lauren and would highly recommend MDP events to anyone in the Sarasota area!
