If you are looking for a wedding planner who is going to go beyond what is expected of them, STOP RIGHT HERE! Lauren and her team are one of kind. I worked with Lauren and her team for 2 years. In those two years, Lauren and her staff were nothing short of amazing. They made sure all my visions and dreams came true. I had some personal issues come up during this wedding process and Lauren was there to take over and help everything come together smoothly. On a scale 1-10, I give Lauren and her team: A thousand! — Tricia & Manny

"You were a godsend from the very beginning of planning: answering all my crazy e-mails, re-assuring me when I was stressed, and handling every single little detail. But nothing can compare to how much the Lauren O Team rocked it last night. It could not have been any more perfect. I am so impressed by your crisis management, attention to detail, positive attitude, and just general awesomeness. Your team is also absolutely incredible. I know I didn’t have to worry at all the whole night." — Emily & John
