We love adding “The Lil Things” to your BIG day!
Lara and her team are fantastic! When we met Lara, I was stressed and near tears as our previous planner canceled on us last minute and we had to scramble to replace her to plan a wedding in six months. My now-husband found her and scheduled a call. We interviewed other planners but Lara worked best within our budget, vision, and timeline. From the moment we signed the contract, Lara was a godsend and made wedding planning smooth, low stress, and fun! She broke it down for us in very manageable parts and I often joked that I wanted to marry her because of how organized, communicative, and detail-oriented she is. We are based in WI so we primarily communicated over email. She would respond almost instantly or let us know when she could get an answer to our question/concern. Every vendor she recommended was amazing and our wedding came together beautifully. We received so many compliments from our guests on the food, venue, decor, and how much Lara busted her butt to make everything run on time. I started with zero idea of our wedding vision, but thanks to Lara our wedding colors and decor turned out so lovely and exactly what I wanted. She had great ideas for favors, a send-off, and how to make our event more "us." I'm not a wedding person and had zero expectations but The Lil Things Events truly made our day magical and so much fun.

Working with Lara at The Lil Things Events was an absolute game-changer for my wife’s 40th birthday celebration in Las Vegas. From the very beginning of the planning process through the execution in 3 months, Lara demonstrated an incredible talent for high-end, detail-oriented event production.
What truly set Lara apart was her ability to manage a large, complex group while maintaining a deeply personal touch. Planning a "Luxury 40th Weekend" for 45 guests is no small feat, but she handled every logisitical hurdle with grace—from securing the perfect room blocks at the Cosmo to coordinating a flawless private dinner that catered perfectly to our vegetarian requirements.
Lara has a brilliant eye for design. She made the weekend feel uniquely special, and the "Vegas Survival Kits" were such a thoughtful touch for our guests. She managed the hair and makeup styling, floral arrangements, and, party buses and nightlife bookings with such precision that I was able to actually enjoy the celebration rather than managing the clock.
If you are looking for a planner who can take a vision of and turn it into a seamless, stress-free reality, I cannot recommend Lara highly enough!

Hi friends, I'm Lara and I can't wait to hear about your wedding plans. Having started TLT Events in 2013, we have had an opportunity to work with so many clients, but each one seems to be more exciting than the last. Vegas offers a lovely variety of event "styles" in venue options and I just love to help all of them come to life. Some planners specialize in a particular design niche, which is so great. However, I love to be able to offer a variety of designs to create a unique experience for each couple. Also, I love to dance so watch for my sweet moves on the sidelines at your event.

I don’t even know where to start. It is impossible to say enough good things about Lara and her incredible team at The Lil Things Events. She was such a joy to work with. Her atten...
tion to detail is the best I have seen in any business (I guess that’s where they get the name “The Lil Things” from…).
Her designs are unmatched. She works with couples to truly understand what they want (even when the two partners don’t always agree themselves :P ), and design a one-of-a-kind experiences that blows their expectations out of the water. During our initial call with Lara…my wife and I were all over the place. We told her we wanted a “Disco in the Desert” theme. My wife raved about pops of vibrant colors, whereas I brought up a ton of desert neutrals. Within weeks, Lara somehow turned around a design board that met ALL of our very chaotic requests. She brought our dream wedding to life in a way that I really think nobody else ever could. Her floral work is beautiful, her designs are amazing, and her personal touch is outstanding.
Beyond her designs and creativity, Lara is also SO organized and responsive. She has everything under control, and keeps your mind at ease when you start to spiral with all the planning. She responds nearly immediately to emails and texts, and works tirelessly to meet your needs.
The day before our wedding, we had an unfortunate circumstance where our initial photographer cancelled on us. Within 2 hours, Lara had 6 other options for us lined-up ready to support the next day. All 6 options aligned beautifully with our vision, and we can tell she put time into finding the right options for us, as opposed to throwing every business at us during this fire drill. The crisis was solved within hours due to Lara’s skill, her connections in the Vegas area, and her drive to meet the couples’ needs and pay attention to their vision.
Do yourself a favor and book Lara and TLT for your wedding!!!!

Hiring Little Things Events was one of the best decisions we made—especially considering it was just two weeks before our wedding! We brought Lara and Kelly on last-minute for day-...
of coordination, and they made all the difference.
From the moment they stepped in, they brought a sense of calm, professionalism, and total organization. Despite the short timeline, they immediately understood our vision and executed it flawlessly—honestly, the décor turned out even better than I imagined.
Their attention to detail, creative touch, and ability to keep everything on track allowed us to truly enjoy the day without stress. Lara and Kelly were warm, thoughtful, and totally in sync with what we wanted. We felt completely taken care of.
If you're looking for someone to make your day run smoothly and beautifully—especially if you're in a time crunch—Little Things Events is it. We can’t thank them enough!

She's patience, gives you advice and helps you budget money. I can go on and on about her, I had the most beautiful wedding, my dream wedding and it was all because of her! Thank you so much!

nd coordination. Lara was not afraid of the challenge and rose up (and went waaaaay beyond) to the occasion. Three months have passed since we said our "I do's" and we are still getting random phone calls and text messages saying, "By far, the best wedding I've ever been to!" This is all because of The Lil' Things. Lara is very attentive, detail oriented, and the is perfect combination of calm, cool and collected on your wedding day.
Thank you Lara and team for helping our vision come to life and providing all of our family and friends a night to remember.
To all the brides out there, don't over think it....just do it already and book The Lil Things!

As a bride and groom from the UK, we were concerned about how we would co-ordinate our day/ meeting and finding vendors/ finding recommendations etc, but Lara worked with our time difference and to our schedule to make sure the whole process went smoothly. Our day was the best day of our lives and we had no concerns knowing that the team has everything sorted for us. It was full of so many special moments that Lara and Louise had suggested and orchestrated. We are so grateful for finding them as our wedding was a total dream. Thank you guys again! BOOK THEM NOW! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

t experience (not Lara!). For my second wedding, I thought another wedding planner would be such a waste of money BUT one of my friends very highly recommended Lara and her team and I am so glad I decided to hire her. We instantly clicked on our initial phone call and I felt like she just understood exactly what I envisioned. Once I gave her all of my visions and vendor information she 100% took it from there. She would reach out when she had important questions but other than that, she handled everything. When I would get stressed out or panic, she would assure me she would take care of it right away. I swear Lara seemed like she was 10 people in one. Everywhere I looked, there she was taking care of something! We also had hired an assistant through Lara and he was just as amazing!

ad worked with nearly all of our vendors before and when we spoke with them, they had great things to say about Lara, too!
I'm extremely indecisive and honestly didn't even know what I wanted most of our wedding to look like. I sent Lara a wedding Pinterest board that was all over the place. With her help, we were able to curate a perfect vision that she executed beautifully.
She was attentive and thorough every step of the way. I especially appreciated her patience and calmness in the weeks leading up to our wedding date. I must've sent her (what felt like) an obscene amount of emails as I freaked out over every little detail. She assured me she had everything covered and sure enough, she did. She really went above and beyond for everything. We had some last minute changes on the day of our wedding too and she handled them very gracefully.
We got so many compliments about our wedding and I just know it wouldn't have been as perfect as it was without her.
I can't recommend Lara and her team at The Lil things enough!

The wedding planner is one of the most important vendors that you will book on your wedding day, and my husband and I are so glad that we chose The Lil Things Events. One thing tha...
t immediately drew us to TLT was Lara's diverse clientele. She has worked with all different types of couples, which was something that was crucial to us when we looked for vendors. Lara was a pleasure to work with throughout our entire wedding planning process. We initially booked month of coordination services, but decided to book the partial planning package and design services (minus florals). We were planning from out of state and wanted to host both a pre- and post-wedding event, so having a planner was crucial. Lara was easy to work with, friendly, and most-importantly, made wedding planning a stress-free experience. She was willing to listen to and incorporate our ideas, but we also gave her free range to take the lead creatively and execute our overall vision. Our wedding was over 1 week ago, and our guests can't stop raving about how organized everything felt and the personalized details. My only regret is that we did not book her sooner!

I gave them a brief description of the things I needed help with and the look I was going for, she had a design board to me with additional ideas in less than a week. She absolutely nailed it!! Her team sourced the decor, brought everything, set it up, broke it down, and was on site the day of to make sure it all ran smoothly. They coordinated with all other vendors and just took any planning pressure off of us so we could enjoy the day. Her team is an absolutely dream to work with and I cannot recommend them enough. If you are having a destination wedding The Lil Things is a must!

When I first spoke with Lara, she made feel like my thoughts were heard and had a good attitude towards planning a destination event 10 months out. Out of the few planners I spoke ...
to, she made me feel the most at ease and didn’t shoot down any of my ideas. From then on, she was dedicated to helping me craft my vision for my wedding. I had a few ideas, and she would listen and offer different suggestions on how we could make them a reality. Because my fiancé and I are from out of town, she was perfectly willing to go to venues for us and take notes and footage of the venues when we weren’t able to attend. From venue, vendors, to décor and day-of coordination, I was pleasantly surprised with how well she handled everything! There were some stressful moments with some of the vendors and Lara would assure me she would handle everything, and she absolutely did. She suggests vendors (and will work with ones you choose yourself) but lets you make and pay for any vendor agreement with them, and then she will communicate with them for you. For décor she will make a lovely mock-up document of how everything will look, and we were all very happy with the results. The day of, she was totally on top of everything and even handed out tissues during the ceremony for those that needed one. I highly recommend TheLilThings Events for your Las Vegas wedding planning!

We had two wedding ceremonies in one day, one Indian and one American, and Lara and Kelly did an amazing job in keeping our very packed schedule on track and truly thinking of all "the lil things" leading up to it. They kept our families/guests in the loop on where to go, communicated with our vendors for day of, and just really helped us to be able to enjoy our big day. We couldn't have done it without them!

Not only was she extremely willing to understand my events and the very complex nuances, but she was also supportive even before the "month of" began. There were times when I felt overwhelmed and she was always there to reassure me. Once the "month of" engagement began, Lara was organized and prepared to ensure that our timeline was seamless and tight. She oversaw the entire execution of my wedding and each day unfolded seamlessly. During the weekend, she had mine and my family's back. Anything we needed, she was there to make it happen or resolve. She was encouraging, reassuring, and most importantly, constantly in communication with my vendors. I DEFINITELY RECOMMEND LARA!!

ut and Lara was an expert at getting people to listen to directions and did it in the kindest way I’ve ever seen. She even made sure that my husband and I had food at our table before we even sat down, she also made sure that we had space to actually eat! I could not have done all that they did on my own and they saved SO much stress. Truly a genuine pleasure to have them part of (and the back bone) the wedding!

My team loved swooping in and putting on those final touches as you enjoyed the beginnings of a lifetime of love. CONGRATS!

aphy were so high quality I felt like a bride out of a magazine! She coordinated with my mom who hosted our reception & double checked with me all the details every step of the way. I gave her the theme & a few requests & she brought my wedding to life in a way I couldn’t even imagine! I honestly don’t know how we would’ve had as successful, peaceful & beautiful a day as we had without her.

e didn't need a wedding coordinator, but boy were we wrong! Being able to enjoy our time with our family and friends while knowing that everything was being taken care of behind the scenes, was so comforting. We knew we could trust Lara with everything with coordinating with our vendors and scheduling all the delivery times, and on top of that, providing us with BEAUTIFUL floral arrangements for our ceremony and reception. Looking back on our wedding weekend, I wouldn't have changed a single detail - even with a pandemic!

r connections and negotiating skills helped us along the way. She worked alongside our venue to make sure nothing was missed. It takes a lot of trust to share your vision with someone and hope they can execute but when I walked into the venue on my wedding day I could not have been more pleased. The day of the event Lara kept to our timeline seemingly effortlessly - we had the best day into night without ever feeling an ounce of worry or concern! I can't thank her enough for helping us build our dream wedding!

I live in Florida and we decided to do a destination wedding. I am so happy I went with the Lil things events. Laura was extremely helpful with the planning because I honestly knew...
nothing in this department. I wanted a one stop shop for everything decor, favors, and more because being from out of state, I surely did not want to bring anything additional in my luggage. She was very easy to contact and when i had questions along the way she was able to answer them. I simply gave her a color and a theme of rustic elegance and she brought my vision to life. She showed me options when it came time to select what elements I wanted incorporated into my reception which was very nice. I would highly recommend this company to anyone. I wish I could walk into my reception venue all over again because thats how beautiful it was.

r all of my questions and bring my vision to life. It was nice to have them because I did not want to bring extra things like a cake topper, card holders, centerpieces, and wedding favors in my suitcase. We kept in contact throughout the months leading up to the big day, and as questions came up they were all very quick to answer them. Once I showed up to my reception it was so beautiful! All of my friends and family loved it as well! I can’t thank them enough for helping make my wedding so perfect.

r our special day! As groomzilla my one request was a fire performer and we balanced it out with a magician, caricature artists, showgirls, and so many food vendors and activities it was a complete adventure. Lara was in charge and there was a LOT! I think we had 20+ different vendors in flux and she handled everything to the first degree. TLT handled all the decorations, entertainment bookings, tables & chairs, everything! I could not have achieved anything close to the success that we had without Lara! She is a total wizard and i pleased to recommend her without reservation for wedding & party planning services.

n. She listens and seeks to completely understand and encompass YOUR STYLE and YOUR FAMILY. Weddings as I’ve come to realize are a family event, and she was extremely helpful to my “difficult” mother, I say that because as a bride you don’t necessarily see all the things the day of, and she was willing to prioritize our wedding day vision and help accomplish everything that we needed. I cannot thank her enough and I hope/wish nothing but the best for her in the future.

and ended up having our wedding reception at home. Lara was nothing but patient, understanding and put the whole process at ease for me. Her and her team transformed my home into more than what my vision was! My family was so impressed with the way it turned out, even the chapel we had our ceremony fell in love with the flower arrangements lara made. Me & my new husbands wedding day could not have been more perfect and it was all because of the work and love that Lara put into it. Not only was she my decorator but she became a friend. Thank you lara for everything!

When you think of a dream wedding planner, Lara is it! From the first moment we contacted her and all the way through our 'post wedding blues' she has been not only a wedding plann...
er, but someone to lean on. Did I mention she planned our dream wedding in 8 weeks?! :) Even being on opposite sides of the country (we live in Maryland and Lara in Las Vegas), her communication skills were amazing, always got back to us in a timely manner, and always went the extra mile. Lara never allowed us to get overwhelmed throughout the planning process, and when we changed our venue 6 days before the wedding, it was like that didn't even phase her. She has one of the most infectious personalities, remains positive at all times, made us laugh, yet knows when it's time for business. Lara is extremely organized, detail oriented, punctual, has a hard working team behind her, and made our dreams come true. Without her, our wedding day wouldn't have turned from a dream into a reality. Don't waste your time looking for another wedding planner, contact Lara immediately!!!
