easy to follow to help our wedding day run smoothly. By the time she was hired I had a lot of my wedding vendors picked out and planned, but I'm sure that when she is hired from the start to be with you start to finish through the wedding process she would be a large help in selecting vendors as well.

o upset and cried many nights with us wondering what to do. I decided to look for a wedding planner to help us switch plans ,with only two months to go, so that she would have a wedding day of her dreams. I am so happy that I found and hired Lori! I first appreciated her only charging for services we exactly needed . She only takes a certain amount of weddings each year, so had the time to give us personal attention, and was very quick to answer back with any questions or concerns. We found a beautiful location at Clovernook Country Club, and Lori was great in setting up the necessary appointments, contacting all the vendors to arrange a new time line for the change in locations, and meeting with us to discuss all the fine details that I would never had planned for or thought of. Honestly, it took so much stress off of my daughter and myself to know that she was scheduling and detailing every thing, and that she would be at the reception area to make sure everything was delivered and set up properly, also being there through out the day for smooth running of it all. Hiring a wedding planner was the best investment in helping us plan a beautiful day for my daughter, and Lori was the perfect planner for the job!

of work Lori does. My wife and I had quite an expansive list of decor items, but Lori and her helpers got everything placed to perfection. I would recommend Lori to literally anyone having a wedding. You honestly won’t get better value from any other wedding planner!

planning. She attending multiple visits to vendors, helped with recommendations, and ensured the whole process was going smoothly. August 10, 2019 was the day of our wedding and I was blown away by her and her staff. They made all of my wedding dreams reality, down to the smallest details. Her coordination of all the wedding processes was immaculate, and allowed for a smooth transition the whole night. I was blessed to have Lori and her staff at my wedding! I recommend TLC to anyone planning their big day, with Lori you are always in good hands! Thank you for everything, and I am grateful to have gained a great friend in this process!

y with all my vendors and also very hard to create a timeline that allowed us to make the most out of our day. On the day of my wedding, she and her staff were ABSOLUTELY incredible! Hands down! I am not exaggerating. They were ‘beasts’! I can’t believe how diligently they worked to pull everything off just so we could feel like guests at our own wedding! Lori, Shannon, Rachel... THANK YOU for making our day magical. I will never forget how smoothly our big day went because of the teamwork of all of you. All our love and respect, Henrietta & Jonathan

he story... My husband and I have too many projects. :-) April 2018: We reserved the lodge-60 mins from Cincinnati, 120 mins from Dayton. 5.5 months to go. We loved the property! And knew we could have our dream wedding-albeit more work (responsible for *everything*). 12 weeks before the wedding we got down to business. Upon realizing we’d have to bring our own water (well water, no catering kitchen) knew we needed help.. else miss something-like, no water!! :-) Present: Lori. Across all of her reviews I found every point of complexity I could think of with our setup (quick turnaround, always responsive and great to work with, remote location, extra guest management, transportation, and a bunch of other things.) When we talked, she jumped in right away to offer suggestions and didn’t even try to sell me on the full planning package (which I clearly needed). In contrast, I had spoken to another wedding planner with an impressive book - but she offered nothing in the consultation and only tried to sell the highest package. I didn’t need cookie-cutter “done it a hundred times”. I needed someone creative, flexible, who knew what to look out for, would know what “done” looks like, and how to fill in all the gaps to get there. WEDDING DAY: Due to everything else going on at the time, I was not able to “plan” details with Lori as much as she (or I) wanted. She puts in so much work beforehand to make sure everything goes perfectly, writing it down and pre-coordinating with *everyone*. Most critical elements were ready-timeline, flow, etc. But for ours, she had to wing a lot more and finalize night before/morning of (decorations and setup, final gaps). Which I’m pretty sure would scare the heck out of most planners. :-) She was 100% prepared. Everyone knew what they were doing. I gave a bunch of boxes of decorations, the basics of what I wanted, and left creative licensing for the rest. She had headsets for everyone to communicate, split the staff between church and lodge to start. And GO! It was amazing. Everything went so well!! It felt and looked AMAZING! Lori kept everything moving, making sure to fit in everything that was important to us, all the way down to the Fireworks! Behind the scenes... headsets didn’t work, no cell/text reception, one of her staff became very ill. And Lori had a very major family emergency earlier in the week. But she still make it work. Seamlessly. Her work ethic is second to none, she is extremely conscientious, and she will make your day or your event the sole focus of hers so you can live in the moment and truly enjoy it. The best thing a bride can say is “It was my perfect day!” And they may not know the detail that went into the day, or all the challenges behind the scene. But in this case, we do. We know and we greatly appreciate how amazing Lori and her entire team were! Our moms were amazed by her, guests told us she was wonderful :-) I was really lucky to find her, and actually miss not talking to her everyday now. Thanks, Lori! Our day was perfect, and our wedding was “us”, through and through. We, quite literally, could not have done it without you! We highly recommend Lori. She’s great and will make your event, your day, your moment, incredible.

participating vendors. The timeline for the day, including all of the interactive demos went off without a hitch, and all in attendance thoroughly enjoyed themselves. I highly recommend Lori at TLC Events & Weddings to plan your next social event, corporate event or wedding. She's the best!

The ceremony and reception hall looked gorgeous and every detail was perfect. It was so nice to not have to worry about the tear down of the reception hall. I would recommend her and her team to any bride to be!

t thank you enough!

and question, even if we'd gone over it already; she was always there to reassure my uncertainty. She spent hours tying bows on our candy favors, addressing & stuffing envelopes, and even made over 60 guest bags for the guests' hotel rooms. We had an out of town wedding, a 5-hr drive away so there were so many details beyond the normal day. We needed a hotel room for nearly every guest, transportation from the hotel to the wedding and back for 120 people. Then there were the "little things" like getting my dress pressed, because it got wrinkled in the car, and of course an out of state marriage licence that we hadn't even thought about. But Lori and her team were there to help every step of the way. She made our day run so smoothly, the venue was just breathtaking and beautiful! In a way, it felt like we were guests at our own wedding because she made it so stress free! There were glitches, but I never heard about them until well after the day. I'd also forgotten my reception shoes at the hotel, but Lori did not hesitate to retrieve them for me. To be honest, I hesitated hiring her as she hadn't been a wedding planner for long, but her professionalism and organization skills so made up for that. She was a great support and I don't know how I would have done it without her!! I'd use her again for any event, and 100% recommend Lori and TLC Events and Weddings!

id not know she did this until after the event, so we did not mention it to her, as it had passed. * She yelled at the groom and the groomsmen on the day of the wedding. Lori was hired mainly manual labor, but she recruited the groom and groomsmen to transport decor signs - and then YELLED at them for putting them in the wrong area. * We caught Lori sitting doing nothing on multiple occasions, with her shoes off and propped up on a table. Our main vendors began to pick up on her lack of ability, and instead looked to us for direction, commenting to us that she wasn't working. Our guests noticed this as well. * Lori crafted a very detailed day-of schedule, but did not enforce it or ensure everything was moving on time - we are lucky to have hired other vendors who were able to do that for her. Although Lori's assistants were very nice and seemed competent, Lori was a train wreck and made us regret hiring her many times. Overall, Lori lacks the professionalism, attention to detail, and self motivation that someone hired for this position requires. I would not recommend her to anyone. We agreed to refrain from reviewing her up until she featured a story from our wedding on a recent blog post, entitled "Wedding Day Disaster: Don’t Let Your Day Turn Into a Horror Story!" Unfortunately for us, our wedding day disaster was the mere fact of hiring her, as we regretted hiring her several times in the weeks leading up to our wedding. Multiple details in her blog post are incorrect - such as her insisting on the way it was setup, and her team was supposed to be monitoring the food (she even hired a catering assistant to do this!). We had various highly-rated wedding professionals tell us our wedding was one of the best that they had been to, along with the raving from our guests, so I am absolutely offended that we were included in her ridiculous blog post- the person in question, we must add, was personally spoken to by us, and the situation was resolved. If anything, her blog post shows how she handles something going wrong at a wedding. Honestly, we could go on and on, but the gist is: we do not recommend Lori.

to Lori Osborne of TLC Events & Weddings and asked if she could help me put together a vow renewal ceremony that would replicate a wedding. Lori said, “Let’s get started!” As we went through the questionnaires and the details of what we wanted, Lori made it fun for both of us. Then it came time to make a change to the date – instead of December 8, I changed it to July 22 so as to give my wife her wish for a summer ceremony. Without fail, Lori stepped up and put together a plan to make this date happen. At this point Darla had no idea what to expect. We used our church for the venue and Lori (along with her assistant, Rachel Feltner) completely transformed our small church into a place of elegance, from the setting in the sanctuary to the décor downstairs for the reception. As Christians, we had specific feelings and emotions that we want to emphasize and Lori met every need that could be thought of. It is in my opinion that she met our needs, wants and desires for this ceremony from the color scheme to the renewal ceremony itself. I want to thank TLC Events & Weddings for such an unforgettable event. As we left the church, we cried with tears of happiness for such a beautiful and elegant ceremony. Jeffrey & Darla Osborne
