Lauren helped us plan the wedding of our dreams at a friend's home in Sonoma County.
There were so many details and work required to throw a wedding at a private home from bringing...
in port-a-potties to creating a ceremony site and a dance floor among so many others. Lauren was on top of all the details and helped us make great decisions. She is calm, detail-oriented, responsive, easy to work with and has great taste. She quickly learned our preferences and budget and made our lives as easy as possible. She was particularly amazing during our wedding weekend - ensuring that everything went smoothly so that we could focus on enjoying the moment. We are so happy that we hired Lauren and strongly recommend her. Thanks Lauren!
We truly wouldn’t have had such a beautiful wedding without Lauren’s help!
Hiring Lauren as our month-of coordinator was worth every penny. Even before our month kicked in, Lauren was available for advice and opinions. Her detailed questionnaires (which s...
he sends upon receipt of contract) had me organized in no time at all, thinking about details that would have never occurred to me.
But the real magic started the month of. I decided to get my full money's worth and LET GO. Lauren handled it all. I relinquished all communication with vendors and she picked it up seamlessly. There is so much that she did that I don't know about, and to be honest—that's the part I'm most grateful for.
My actual wedding was magic and went off without a hitch. Lauren was like this fairy godmother in a sweet little apron, grounded and unflappable, keeping it all running smoothly. The night was more special than I could've ever dreamed of, and I wasn't concerned with a single detail.
I'm so, so grateful for her professionalism, positive attitude, and calm, grounding energy.
Lauren is a top-notch wedding planner and coordinator! She was our month-of coordinator, and she exceeded our expectations in all regards. Leading up to our event, she was extremel...
y organized, detail oriented, and thorough. She led our rehearsal with knowledge and calmness, both of which were needed and appreciated. Most importantly, the wedding itself was flawless thanks in a large part to Lauren. We really enjoyed working with her and recommend her without reservation.
When I got engaged and decided I had to have a month of planner, I immediately contacted Lauren. We'd worked together in the past and her professionalism and kindness made her a dr...
eam to work with! Even before the month of she was answering all my wedding questions. She has a wealth of knowledge and always put my mind at ease. My then fiance felt we were organized enough to handle everything and didn't think a coordinator was needed. When it came to the month of he was so happy that we had hired Lauren. She was extremely organized and brought up details/questions we had never even though about! It was worth the investment to hire Lauren so we could enjoy the wedding day with our family and friends. Lauren is the best! K&J
As someone who is a bit of a OCD "planner" myself, what I loved most about Lauren from RSE is her ability to take control without feeling intrusive. She gets to know you and your n...
eeds, and is always by your side, quite literally in some cases.
I opted for month-of planning which was a huge stress relief for a multi-cultural, destination wedding. Having Lauren around the month before and the day of felt like having a personal assistant who knew weddings inside out: all while making it seem like a breeze! Why not feel like the boss of your day on your wedding? Lauren kept us on time and gave me countless wedding advice to all my silly questions about weddings that you're not sure who to ask.

When we first realized that our venue required an outside coordinator/planner we were a little bummed. It seemed like a lot of money to be spending for things I wanted to do mysel...
f. We opted for the month-of coordination with Lauren at Ryder Sloan, reluctantly, after hoping to find someone who offered day of or week of services (to save some cash). Well, when it got down to a month out and you feel a little overwhelmed with all that is left to do, Lauren is so worth the money we spent and then some. She's very organized, to the point, and responsive. She reached out to confirm with all of our vendors, set up a timeline, arranged decorations/signage/favors, and also ran our rehearsal. I felt like I didn't need to worry about a thing, and I didn't have to put any family members to work, which was very important to us. I can't emphasize enough how calming it was to have someone who's 'done it before' there for advice and suggestions. J+A
