Our wedding day was a success in large part thanks to Lorin and Amber. Lorin was so helpful in the planning and preparation, but she really shined on wedding day. By the time my hu...
sband or I needed something, she'd already anticipated the need and had the item ready. The venue was set perfectly and she was instrumental in helping us to navigate photos with a very large wedding and family party (not to the mention managing the logistics required for photos in multiple locations). Amber was also a fantastic addition to our day and we were thrilled to have her as part of the team. She led our rehearsal and was invaluably helpful during wedding clean up. We can't thank (or recommend!) these amazing women enough.
Any questions?

Lorin was the best in every single way. When overwhelm and confusion set in before our wedding day, Lorin stepped in and proved to be the missing piece we were needing. She gracefu...
lly handled every ‘behind the scene’ item and provided an abundance of guidance, support, and encouragement.
On the day itself, Lorin ensured everything ran like clockwork, allowing my husband and I to be fully present with our friends and family.
Lorin is thoughtful and fun, and added a contagious joy to the day. We are forever grateful for her hand in making our wedding day the ‘best day ever’!

My husband and I are truly so grateful we had Lorin to plan our wedding. During my wedding era, I got terrible sick and I always had the wedding in the back of my mind for those lo...
ng months but I knew I was in good hands with Lorin so I was able to get diagnostic and heal properly without the stress of the wedding. I was able to fully trust and believe in Lorin. She was always open to trying my ideas and was totally honest. One week we would be set on something and the next I would change it and she wouldn't mind at all. I would plan my wedding all over again with Lorin if I could. The bridal world is pretty scary but I was always able to talk with Lorin about anything. During the chaotic moment in our wedding day Lorin remained so calm, my dad will forever talk about that story. Lorin knows the ins and outs of weddings. Her team did amazing on our wedding day as well.

re of absolutely everything—from logistics and vendor coordination to the overall design and fine details. She brought our vision to life in the most seamless, thoughtful, and stress-free way possible.
Throughout the entire process, I felt completely supported and confident that every detail was in the best hands. On the day of the wedding, everything ran flawlessly, allowing us to be fully present and soak in every moment without a single worry.
If you’re looking for a wedding planning team that is organized, creative, professional, and genuinely invested in making your day unforgettable, I can’t recommend The Ever Haus enough. They made our dream wedding a reality.

Where do I begin with Lorin and her incredible team? I connected with Lorin via Instagram and am so happy to have came across her page. We did a consultation and based on what my n...
eeds were booked the Emerald package. I am the most indecisive person on the planet and could not for the life of me put onto paper what I wanted for one of the biggest days if my life. I had multiple phone meetings with Lorin in the beginning to get a feel for what i wanted and still needed to get done. She created an entire vision board based off of what we spoke about during our chats. Lorin was also very accommodating as my work schedule was extremely hectic. She provided checklists to get done based off of months and even weeks before the wedding. She introduced me to Google drive which will forever change my life. We were able to share and communicate through the drive with new ideas and visions with very quick and easy access. Throughout my wedding journey i experienced a few hiccups and Lorin had nothing but advice and open arms to help me, which calmed me down when i needed it most. Lorin also offers rentals which was a huge part of making my day exactly as i envisioned. As a control freak, i had zero clue how Lorin was going to execute what i had in my mind into reality and let me tell you she did not disappoint. Her team put together two welcome signs that was EXACTLY what i wanted and a seating chart placed on multiple cubes which my guests were floored about. Once i get my pictures back i will be blowing up her feed with how beautiful everything turned out. Her team was very sweet and helpful. They constantly checked in on my husband and I throughout the reception. Since my ceremony was offsite they helped que the bridal party down the aisle and make sure everything was in place. The day went by so fast, i don’t think i could have done it without Lorin and her team guiding us along the way. If you are in search of a helping hand whether it is for the day or even for the entire planning process you will love Lorin!

I could not recommend Events by Lu enough! Lorin was everything we needed and more! She went above and beyond not only the day of the wedding, but for months leading up to our day!...
From the phone conferences, decor talks, detailed in person meetings, and abundance of inventory she has to offer. She is truly a pleasure to work with and made us feel at ease and stress free. Hiring Events by Lu was one hundred percent the best money I could have ever spent. Thank you so much Lorin. You have no clue how grateful we are and were!

Hiring Lorin for our event coordination was probably the best decision I could have made for my wedding! I didn't think I needed someone to help, but IMMEDIATLEY after hiring them ...
I felt my stress levels lift. My wedding was stress-free and I was able to relax and enjoy my day because I knew Lorin and her team had everything taken care of.
I still can't believe all that the event coordination package entailed. I had my photographer and my venue tell me how amazing Lorin was and tell me how impressed they were with her team. Lorin was there for my detail planning meeting with my venue and my rehearsal dinner (thank goodness she was there because I had no idea how to run that!). If you hire them just remember to use all of the resources you're paying for and you absolutely won't regret it!
I would hire Events By Lu again in a heartbeat and will recommend them to all my Cleveland area friends.
