Laura is SO good at what she does! From start to finish, she was amazing and exceeded all of our expectations for a wedding planner. My husband and I had a very small ceremony in North Carolina, and then had a huge outdoor reception back here i...n Cincinnati at a home residence. This means we had to select and bring in all of the vendors and make sure everything coordinated. Laura took on all of this responsibility and managed everything for us. Her expansive knowledge and expertise was crucial in choosing appropriate vendors and ordering appropriate items. She was quick to reach out to vendors on my behalf to get things taken care of. She was continuously confirming and reconfirming times/details/orders with all of the vendors to ensure that everything was in order. She worked hard to understand my "vision" and all my ideas for how I wanted everything to look and feel. She spent so much time creating decor boards, tent layouts, floral orders, and so much more to pull everything together. She came to every planning meeting with me and even came to my DIY session at FlowerMan (which was EIGHT HOURS LONG!)! She should be a florist in her second career -- she's amazing at that, too! Laura even helped transport all of the buckets of "extra" florals and greenery from the DIY session and brought it to the reception the next day! So awesome. And always eager to help in any way (and every way!). Laura also came out to the home residence several times -- for planning meetings, details meetings, tent delivery, chair/table delivery, etc. She even took all my cloth napkins home with her once they were delivered and she folded them in her spare time -- in every aspect of the planning process, she went above and beyond.
On the day of the event, she and her team arrived at the home residence very early (11am!) to set everything up. She decided to come even a little earlier than planned because she wanted to make some additional greenery garlands (out of the extra greenery) for our sweetheart table -- this was completely her idea, but fit my theme and "vision" so perfectly and I'm so glad she was willing and motivated to do things like this. She and her team were so professional and hard working throughout the entire day. They worked so hard to make all of my Pinterest ideas and visions come to life :) They also handled all of the vendors arriving and setting up (DJ, bartender, floral delivery, cake delivery, late night pizza truck, etc.). I would have been swarmed with questions, arrivals, and "to-do"s if Laura and her team hadn't been there to take care of everything. She handled any "hiccups" throughout the night without disturbing my family or my husband and I.
I cannot say enough about how amazing Laura is! She is so professional, punctual, flexible, knowledgeable, experienced, hard working, responsive, and so much more! She went above and beyond and exceeded all of our expectations. Thank you, Simply Events!!!!
