Peonies and Perfection

If you are reading this because you are considering a planner or day of coordinator, you will be SO happy if you hire Peonies and Perfection!! It was worth every penny and I would hire them again over and over, truly! Although I had a longer engagement (almost two years) I was so nervous about how my wedding day would plan out. There are so many details to think about. In order to ensure I wouldn’t have to worry and could be present in the moment, I hired Lauren! From the beginning she has been wonderful and has a real passion for events! She set up and tore down all our Rehearsal dinner decor and handled all our needed items for the church and reception. I was so thankful for her and her team because without them, I know many things would’ve ran behind schedule or been missing on the day. I also feel many brides forget about the cleanup, which I felt at ease knowing Lauren and her team would be there to help load up all our items! It’s so important to have an A team for your big day. Oh and I can’t forget that they set up our honeymoon suite at the hotel with flower petals and candles. It was so special!! Thank you, Lauren 💕

Lauren and her staff are great to work with. Made the process easy, seamless and a pleasure to be around. Hard working and makes sure that all the details are taken care of. Would highly recommend her.

I loved working with Lauren for my wedding. Once she took over I didn't have anything to worry about. We had a small wedding which made her task more unique than other weddings but she made it all flow so easily. Truly professional and a huge part of our special day!

Unlike most girls that fantasize about their wedding day at a young age, I never felt the urge to imagine mine. I knew one day it would happen but I never felt the desire to sit and daydream about my perfect dress, color schemes, food, ceremony - anything, perhaps in fear that the most important day of my life would not live up to what I might have wanted. My husband and I had picked a wedding date and a venue. We felt like we were on the right track. With the venue locked in we thought, “Ok phew, that’s a big thing off the checklist,” but then with him finishing up training and the world continuing to turn upside down from the pandemic we found ourselves discouraged from any further planning. We ended up changing our wedding date to later in the year. It was at this point that we realized we couldn’t plan this on our own. Then Lauren happened. Out of desperation I posted to a wedding group on Facebook that we needed some help, and fast. The wedding was less than 8 months away. She reached out and we met with her the next day. She came prepared with notebooks, vision boards, photos and package information. After chatting for just a couple minutes my husband and I quickly realized her expertise was exactly what we needed. We hired her as our full time planner. Just like that she had vendor meetings lined up for us over the following weeks. We hired each vendor she recommended. They all blew us away, we didn’t need second opinions. After working with her for just a short time I really started to feel like a true bride. Her attentiveness, encouragement, and creativity was inspiring. Thanks to her, I finally found myself having those visions and imagining what our day was going to look like. Our day came and went, it was absolutely amazing. We couldn’t have done without her. Her communication skills and ability to direct throughout the day allowed us to truly be present with our family and friends. If there were any issues behind the scenes, we never would have known. To help you understand how passionate Lauren is about her work I wanted to mention some specific instances. She came with me to my last dress fitting to learn the bustle. She let us store a couple of bins of our decor at her home as we were in the middle of a big move. I was also told that she helped cut and serve the majority of our cake! Oh and we can’t forget how she relentlessly and successfully hunted down a Taco Bell that would agree to make us hundreds of tacos for our late-night snack. Wedding planning should be an enjoyable experience and having Lauren was the best decision we made. It’s called Peonies and Perfection for a reason. Thank you Lauren for the most perfect day.
