Wander North Events

ship during the rocky seas that came with postponing our wedding. Her team provided the structure, deadlines, and organization that one would expect from a planning team but also brought compassion and friendship during a challenging and unpredictable time that was beyond what I could have imagined. In the scheme of my 2 years working with Leslie, the wedding weekend was just the icing on the (wedding) cake. She was available whenever I needed a check in and reached out unexpectedly just to check in and see how I was doing. Anna LoDico was a logistical mastermind in coordinating my guest's complex transportation needs, which was a task that made me break out in hives when I thought about it - I couldn't have pulled it off without her! Everything on our wedding day went off without a hitch and the things that the things that didn't, neither my guests nor my husband and I knew about. Wander North was extremely professional and worked well with my entire vendor team. They gave me the peace of mind that you can only hope for on one of the most important days of your life. I could go on and on but I would absolutely recommend Leslie Lukas and the Wander North Team! I feel so fortunate to have had the pleasure of working with them the last two years. Thank you Wander North Events!!

ative, easy to work with but also to the point and gives feedback that’s relevant. The planning documents we received to start our planning is really detailed and well done. We appreciated it so much! Everything went smoothly the day of too. My daughter and I highly recommend Wander North. You won’t regret it!

usly, this was their weekend off between a packed, full schedule!) to salvage our outdoor wedding in West Yellowstone at the beginning of August (within 3 weeks of the wedding). We could not believe they said yes and are so happy they did. We had nearly 150 people on their way to celebrate in the great outdoors, with an outdoor ceremony in a field, outdoor reception under a sailcloth tent, in the middle of Montana sagebrush. The reception had a live band, food stations, photo booth and countless other things and vendors–and we needed HELP. From the moment I talked to Leslie I knew that everything was going to be OK and it is because of them that we were able to enjoy the week of our wedding and our wedding day with our family and friends. I was not expecting to be able to find a planning company (period) with it being so last minute (especially with the pandemic the last couple of years and how busy the wedding season was this summer) and finding Wander North Events was truly meant to be. The second we hired them they were in contact with each one of our vendors and were able to work out so many important unfinished details and solve a few major issues and bring it all together in what seemed to be in the simple snap of their fingers! Immediately after hiring them I was set up with an online portal with extremely detailed and organized spreadsheets for every little detail of our big day. I am a dermatologist and definitely a type A personality and I was extremely impressed by their professionalism and organizational and planning skills! In addition to all of the the planning in organization work they put into our big day there were so many other amazing things they did for us/pulled off…there is no way I can list them, but to name a few: they were able to recognize a problem in reception layout and get everything to fit perfectly and (hello generator!) troubleshoot a power issue and got everything powered correctly (they discovered we needed more industrial power cables to connect band equipment, photo booth, bathrooms lights etc. at reception), arranged having lunch delivered to myself and bridesmaids 20 minutes away in town while getting ready for the wedding day, even got cash out of the ATM for us to give as tips to our vendors, and the most AMAZING thing… Leslie swooped in and did all of our florals, literally just about a week and a half out from our wedding day! And they were the most stunning florals I have ever seen…more than I could’ve ever imagined! Melissa and Leslie actually set up shop in her travel trailer several days prior to the wedding in the driveway of my in-laws house and worked non stop on these florals and every little detail up until the wedding. My in-laws enjoyed having them so much they said they felt like family and were sad when they had to go, ha! I truly don’t know how they did all of this and so much more in just a couple of weeks! They truly are the best in their profession and are also the coolest, funnest, nicest people all at the same time. We truly enjoyed spending time with them! Leslie and Wander North Events will always hold a very special place in my husband and I‘s hearts 🥰

absolutely perfect!

s supportive and helpful, taking a practical view of the future and working with me to make my big day just as I had always dreamed. She handled contacting vendors and renegotiating contracts when we had to delay, and then was the point person in following up with and helping me select vendors when the time finally came. All of the vendors she put me in touch with were PERFECT for my wedding. It's not a "one size fits all" approach at Wander North, and as a result, I had the absolute best weekend of my life. Our photographer was perfect, cake was perfect, venue was perfect, flowers were perfect, DESIGN was perfect -- and it was all because of Leslie and her team. When the big day finally came, it went off SEAMLESSLY. Seriously, not a problem the whole day -- and if there was, Leslie certainly didn't let me know about it. I had multiple outfit changes and Melissa and Anna were there to help everything move quickly so we could stay on schedule. They took the time to get to know us and what was important to us, and made sure those things stayed priorities on the day of. I could go on and on about everything these ladies did for me (and at SUCH a reasonable price). Whenever I had an idea, Leslie made it happen. I truly cannot thank them enough for everything they did for me. I would hire them over and over again. They will be my friends for life, and I will be forever grateful for their expertise, experience, and kindness. HIRE THEM!

ing talent that we would recommend for any event!

elping work through logistical details and suggesting vendors that fit with our personalities and wedding vision. It was such a relief going into our wedding day knowing that Leslie and her team were on top of every detail and our entire focus could be on just enjoying the day.

y that we worked with Wander North!
