Hey there, I'm Lauren!

I’m a unique blend of “Type-A Detail Lover” meets a “Laid-Back Enneagram 2,” which works surprisingly well while together! Since wedding planning is my full-time job, feel free to let me handle the nitty-gritty details while you and your fiancé sit back, grab that mimosa, and enjoy your engagement!

"Absolutely the best. Lauren went above and beyond. So organized, friendly, easy to communicate with, everything was perfect. 10/10 highly recommended!"
