Vrinspirations

anning process or the big day without her. She kept us on track, helped us think of things we wouldn’t have on our own, and did so much coordination behind the scenes so that we could truly just enjoy the day without answering questions, directing people, doing any set up, anything. If anything went wrong, still 3 weeks after my wedding I don’t know about it because Valentina was so on top of everything. There were several times when I was sent an email from a vendor and when I went to respond or complete a task, Valentina had already done it. She took so much off our plates while making our day so personal to us, she is truly AMAZING at what she does. She even got us a gift that was personal to us - not a cookie cutter gift that she gives to all clients. It’s that level of detail, thought, and care that she put into our entire day and I will rave about her to anyone that will listen!! My husband even made a joke during his welcome speech that I almost included Valentina in my bridal party because of how highly I talked about her and how amazing she is. Seriously look no further for any event coordination needs than this team and Valentina!!

nication. She was so sweet to guests with mobility issues and made sure everyone was comfortable. Best partner we could have ever found. 5 stars!!

e my event. Vrinspirations is amazing at what they do. They go beyond expectations to make our special day stress and worry free. The guidance I received from Lori eased the planning process. I am so great-full with all the staff, they did an amazing job. I can’t thank them enough for all their hard work.

g every detail with such grace and care. On the big day, she made sure everything ran smoothly so we could fully relax and soak it all in. Her communication, professionalism, organization, and genuine kindness made the entire planning process so much easier and more enjoyable. We’re beyond grateful for Lori and can’t recommend her enough to any couple looking for a coordinator who will go above and beyond!

everything and were there for us through every stage of planning. The Vrinspirations team also hung a beautiful ceiling installation for our reception. We would highly recommend the Vrinspirations team again and again!

verything turned out. Lori worked with us to understand our decor vision and was able to bring our vision to life. The florals were stunning and the colors complemented our color scheme perfectly! Her day of coordination services went above and beyond our expectations. We appreciated her checklists, seating chart software, and detailed timeline which she then shared with all our vendors. Everything went so smoothly and we couldn't have done it without Lori!

e to help and answer any questions. We hired Vrinspiration for wedding coordinating and they were incredible. the day (including rehearsal) went so smoothly and timing couldn’t have been more perfect all thanks to them. She really helped me bring my wedding day dreams to life. On top of being great at their roles- they are nice and fun to work with, our families all commented on how wonderful and helpful they were on our wedding day!!

t our meetings felt so transactional — it was just "you pay this, we do that." There was no connection. With Lori, it was completely different. You could sense her passion and joy for planning and decorating. (It was also a plus that she had done Indian-Mexican fused weddings before -- THIS WAS A MAJOR PLUS) Also, it was incredibly helpful that she speaks Spanish, making communication with my parents easier and ensuring a smooth rehearsal and wedding day (shout-out to John!). She was also extremely accommodating, flexible, and understanding of our schedules — especially with our 8am calls and late night texts (so sorry!) We also hired Lori for floral arrangements, which was easy to trust her with since we already relied on her for everything else. (Her team did a fantastic job and all of my tias loved the arrangements that they took them home afterwards) Lori became more than just a wedding planner — she helped me put on my shoes, reassured me that I was in charge when I felt overwhelmed, and always provided us with a sense of relief. I'm sad our time together has ended, but I'm extremely grateful to have worked with such an incredible person and team. Lots of love, Reddy-Rubio Family

We had our initial consultation and we immediately knew that we’d be in great hands with Lori and the VR Inspirations team. Lori kept us on track with planning through monthly check-ins that were easily scheduled through the website, and was extremely flexible with changes we made with vendors. We also used Lori for floral and decor, which was absolutely stunning and exceeded our expectations. Lori, John, and the VR Inspirations team helped us navigate a last minute modification to the ceremony space due to weather with their calm and positive attitudes - Their attention to design and detail was incredible! On such an intimate yet busy day, Lori and John did a fantastic job guiding us through and reminding us to enjoy every minute. To Lori, John, and the entire VRInspiations team, we cannot thank you enough for making our wedding day so special. We HIGHLY recommend VRInspirations for all coordination and floral needs!

out a hitch. Couldn’t recommend enough!

ations for the day of and rented couches, an arch and got florals for the arch. Our wedding day went so smoothly largely thanks to Lori and John. They went above and beyond, kept the timing perfect, made sure details were not forgotten, and allowed us to be worry free. We also hired their team to set up our entire wedding, centerpieces included, and it all looked so amazing! They had couches in the bridal suite and moved them around the venue for cocktail hour and the reception. They also found and saved me a piece of cake at the end of the night(and gave it to me the next day) when I was bummed that I didn’t eat any and wasn’t able to take any home!

as their flexibility, no minimums and a clear inventory made it easy for us to stay within budget. Their upfront pricing eliminated any surprises, which we appreciated. Lori's consultation was incredibly helpful. She guided us through the huge amount of options and really helped us to refine our vision and nail down what we wanted. On the big day, everything – from the bouquets to the rented arch with florals – was stunning and matched our vision perfectly. The convenience of VR Inspirations' setup and breakdown services was a huge bonus. They seamlessly coordinated with our venue, ensuring a smooth and stress-free process on the day. Lori's personal touch was particularly appreciated when she attended the breakdown herself, ensuring that everything concluded flawlessly. We wholeheartedly recommend VR Inspirations to any couple seeking exceptional floral services for their special day. Thank you, Lori, and the entire team, for your outstanding work!

wedding, Lori helped us stay organized and on task. We were planning our Chicago wedding remotely from another state, and Lori did virtual walkthroughs and Zoom planning sessions with us. Vrinspirations also did our floral arrangements and they did a beautiful job.

umental they were in making our wedding day a success. From the moment we met them, it was clear that we were in the hands of professionals who not only understood the intricacies of wedding planning but also possessed an innate ability to turn dreams into reality. Lori and John's attention to detail was remarkable. We had numerous prep calls to discuss ideas, timelines, and the smallest of details that we hadn’t even considered. Despite all these decisions, which candidly can become overwhelming, they made the process seamless and much less daunting than it would have been without them. They were always available for questions, concerns, and last-minute adjustments, making the entire planning process a stress-free and enjoyable experience. On the day of our wedding, they seamlessly navigated every aspect we discussed, ensuring that everything unfolded as we had planned. From coordinating the ceremony, navigating the cocktail hour, and orchestrating the reception, their dedication to perfection and making our experience everything we dreamed of was evident in every moment. Our wedding truly would not have been the same without them. Beyond their professionalism, Lori and John are phenomenal people who care deeply about your big day and every client they work with. By the end of our time working together they felt more like friends than wedding planners. We would recommend them to any couple seeking out a wedding planner. Thank you, Lori and John, for being there every step of the way and making our wedding truly unforgettable!

lable they ordered silk flowers so that I could have that symbolism at my wedding. Thanks SO MUCH to Lori and her team, extremely professional and easy to work with.

ith the timeline as well as run the ‘day of show’ so that my family and bridal party wouldn’t be pressed with too many tasks. Vrinspirations delivered that and SO MUCH MORE. Leading up to the event we worked primarily with Lori. Right off the bat, she provided valuable insight and guidance in vendor selection and meetings, how to structure the timeline, wedding ceremony scripts, the marriage license process, and more. She was quick to respond to emails and easy to schedule a phone call with as needed. About 6 weeks out from my wedding, I was worried as my florist had become unresponsive, and I emailed Lori with my concerns, hoping Vrinspirations could do my florals last minute. She responded back on the same day with a floral proposal and we hopped on a call the next day to talk through details. She truly saved the day! I also sent her all of my décor ideas, and she made sure we were able to execute my vision – her team handled it all flawlessly on the day of! Lori organized a vendor meeting a few weeks before the wedding that made me so confident in our team leading up to the event. She uses a really easy virtual planning platform that allows you to see floor plans and 3d renderings of the event spaces, keep track of tasks, RSVPs, meal choices, and more. We worked with John at our rehearsal who was great at wrangling our wedding party and helping us understand the flow of the ceremony. Both Lori and John were with us on the day of the wedding, and I can’t imagine it without them. Everything ran smoothly and efficiently, the décor and florals were perfect, the vendors worked well under their guidance, and my husband and I truly felt like we could enjoy the day without working about the details. If there were problems, we didn’t know because the solved them! Vrinspirations are experts in their industry – they are organized, knowledgeable, efficient, and will give any couple great guidance for their special day. We cannot recommend them enough!

ally anything that came their way. From vendor correspondence to make up touchups, they had to all covered! Lori and her team were so good at anticipating our wedding needs leading up to the event and during. Our friends even commented on how smooth everything was run, absolutely no awkward moments thanks to them! Highly recommend Vrinspirations!

From the very beginning, you were there for us, offering a wide range of options in varying price ranges, allowing us to make informed decisions that suited our preferences and budget. Your flexibility in accommodating our changing flower design ideas, even multiple times, was a testament to your commitment to making our day uniquely special. I can’t thank you enough for going above and beyond by opening your store outside of regular working hours, enabling us to mix and match details for our guest tables and assisting with the creation of our seating chart design. Your unwavering support was a source of comfort, especially when dealing with the challenges of our food catering liaison. Lori, you became more than just our wedding planner; you were our confidante and the person we could count on in every situation. Your availability after working hours, the invaluable recommendations you provided, and the extensive research you conducted on our behalf truly set you apart. Your online tools made the planning process smooth and efficient, and we highly recommend more customers take advantage of them during scheduled check-ins.

r. (There were at least 3 times where my now-husband and I said to each other, “thank god for Lori!!!”). She is so kind, organized, patient, and knowledgeable - i genuinely shudder to imagine our wedding if we hadn’t hired a coordinator or if we’d hired someone less skilled, Lori kept us on track with our planning and was so helpful in gut checking our thinking. Her team is so nice too, John was also wonderful to work with. Lori and her team basically know the answer to any possible wedding question, if that helps explain how invaluable they are! And their flowers and decor are so gorgeous - I think I will forever swoon looking at photos of my bouquet and our arch. Our other vendors all told us they really like working with Lori, it felt like everyone worked together so perfectly smoothly. Thank you Lori, John, and team!!

ce the day we signed to contract Lori has been a tremendous resource leading up to the wedding day. She’s always ready to answer any questions, give advice and share her expertise. Her and John were incredible the day of. They kept everything running smoothly and managed a bridal party of 26! Lori also did our florals which was the best decision. She worked with my vision and even made a pivot a few days before the wedding! Again, couldn’t recommend this team enough. You won’t regret it!

e asked for a better team. Lori and team also took care of our floral needs. Additionally, Lori and her team helped plan some key details for our haldi & mehndi ceremony. They were on top of everything and my wife and I were able to enjoy with our family and friends. Overall, we were truly happy with how everything came together. They executed our vision perfectly.

y start, Lori not only understood our vision for our special day, but also stepped in with invaluable ideas when we found ourselves at a loss. Her expertise and dedication truly made our wedding planning journey an amazing experience. Lori went above and beyond, providing us with more than just wedding coordination. She took the time to meet with us on a monthly basis, patiently addressing our questions and concerns. Her responsiveness to our countless emails was greatly appreciated, especially during the moments when decisions seemed overwhelming. Lori also has knowledge of great vendors. Her network helped us so much! She also did our floral arrangements, and the florals at our wedding were beautiful and elevated the night. Lori's reassuring presence was a voice of calm amidst the chaos of wedding planning, and it was a big stress reliever for us. She has great organizational skills, attention to detail, deep knowledge of the industry, and can give great guidance. We can't recommend her highly enough to any couple seeking a wedding planner or coordinator! We would have been lost without her, and we weren’t expecting how much value she would give us!

p to the last minute. Responsive, patient, thorough, and committed to her clients. Their rental services also made them a convenient one-stop shop for furniture, decor, etc. Go with Vrinspirations...

we had all the correct vendors. As the date got closer, she helped coordinate with all of our vendors, create a timeline, and answer the many questions we had. On our actually wedding day she made sure everything was set up and went perfectly. Would recommend her 10/10!

for anyone planning a wedding! We got so much more than just day of coordination help, with helpful tips and planning tools from the moment we hired Lori, months before our event. Guests had several comments that everything seemed so well planned out and that things ran so smoothly, which we attribute a lot to how great Lori and her team are!

through every step of the wedding process. My husband and I have extremely busy schedules, so we completely relied on Lori and her team to support us. Lori was extremely flexible and always made sure to accommodate our schedule and make every appointment and meeting. Lori was knowledgeable, professional, and friendly! Lori helped us to find excellent vendors that fit our budget and her expertise came in handy for every part of the process. Not only was Lori an amazing wedding planner, but she was also the florist for our wedding! It was so convenient to work with her company for all our floral and decor needs because we completely trusted her to bring our wedding vision to life! Everything came out PERFECTLY from the bouquet to the table decorations. I cannot imagine having my wedding without Lori and her team! No matter the size of your wedding or event, I highly recommend hiring Vrinspirations for your special day! You absolutely will not be disappointed!

dea what we would have done without them. We worked with Lori in the weeks leading up to our wedding. She is so professional, so polished, so personable, and so on top of everything; with Lori, we knew nothing would fall through the cracks and it enabled us to relax leading up to the big day. We were so happy having her on our team at such an important moment in our lives. Our family, friends, and wedding party adored her, and she and John worked so seamlessly with the rest of our vendors it felt to us like they'd all been working together for ages. We love them so much we recommended them to our best family friends who booked Lori on the spot when they saw the magic she brought to our day! We are so lucky to have gotten to work with Lori and with John, and we are forever grateful to them.

problem you’re facing she’ll be able to come up with creative solutions. Thanks for all you did Lori! Love, Susan and Alex

hitting our target dates and went above and beyond to help with recommendations and ideas. We didn't need to worry about anything on our special day because Lori and John were on top of everything. I would definitely recommend Vrinspirations to anyone looking for assistance in planning their wedding.

he coordinated with all of our vendors was extremely helpful to ensure we had everything ready to go for a smooth day. She gave us reminders for those last-minute tasks everyone says they forgot. The day went completely as planned and that’s because Lori kept everything on track! She was such an integral part of the day and it would not have been as wonderful without her help. We were able to relax and enjoy every moment of the day because we knew Lori had every detail covered. Thanks Lori!!

happen. I really appreciated all of the extra effort that was put into making sure everything ran smoothly. Plus, Lori and John are just great people who truly care about their clients. We couldn't have done it without them and I would highly recommend VR Inspirations for your wedding planning needs!

s with the band, venue, vendors, etc.; determining the appropriate amount of alcohol, food, flowers, make up & hair for the bride, transportation for the day of, hotel blocks, decorations, music, timeline of ceremony, speeches, & so on... I didn't realize how many moving parts needed to be coordinated & executed perfectly for everything to work out as planned. After speaking with Lori & agreeing to bring Vrinspirations in, I could immediately feel the stress dissolve away. Lori was always available to set up phone meetings & give us peace of mind when needed. Her & John still gave us complete control over the decisions & the vision for our wedding but made the process more organized & enjoyable for all. The actual wedding couldn't have gone more smoothly. Lori & John stayed on top of all the deliveries to the venue, the setup, the staff, etc. without folding under the pressure of drunk bridesmaids or family members trying to insert their opinions everywhere. Whenever an issue or concern came up, Lori & John were already handling it without skipping a beat. All in all, going through Vrinspirations was the smartest decision we could've made when it came to planning. Can't recommend them enough!

ut her. She was very professional and handled us postponing with such ease.

n amazing job on the actual Day of the Wedding. So many of our guests commented on how impressed they were with Lori and her crew. They were attentive throughout the entire day and worked tirelessly to have a smooth event! Lori is creative, smart, and always responsive!! No Bride and Groom can go wrong hiring Lori and Vrinspirations! They are worth it!!

ly got to exchange smiles and waves on the day of the wedding, but Lori was awesome! She got the arch and florals up in no time, and it looked BEAUTIFUL during our sunset ceremony. It looked way better than what we asked for in our reference photos. Our guests used the floral arch as a backdrop for photos after the ceremony, too! Highly recommend Vrinspirations for your florals!

ing went above and beyond for us. John, Lori’s partner in the business who also happens to be her amazing husband, made sure that our rehearsal and our special day would be more than what we expected. And omg, they surely delivered! Our guests loved his attention to detail, his proactive approach and overall great job in making sure everyone was happy and accounted for. I reached out to Lori not knowing anything about her. I just knew she had pretty good reviews and her rates were within our budget. Lol Turns out, her husband, yes… John, was from the same town as my husband and their families knew about each other from way back. If that’s the universe working it’s magic on us, then I’m all for it! Thank you so much Lori and John for making our wedding day the best day of our life. It was everything we wanted and more! If you’re looking for a wedding planner that really cares, do yourselves a favor and book them.

lways available when I had questions or when I wanted to show her pictures of my vision. If you are looking for your wedding florist, I highly recommend Vrinspirations!
