WHAT IS THE PLANNING PROCESS LIKE? IS IT STRAIGHTFORWARD AND TO THE POINT?
Yes, we don't believe in wasting your time, or ours! Planning is broken down by milestones and months. Impactful meetings, clear action steps and carefully thought-out touch-points - our time together is as efficient as it is enjoyable. We’re here to problem solve so you don’t have to, put out fires behind the scenes, and loop you in on an as-needed basis (because you’re too busy for nonsense).

WHAT COUPLES DO YOU SERVE?
All of them. Our mission is clear - the Lauren O & Co brand is based on a deep-rooted desire to showcase love stories of all forms—particularly the kind that are underrepresented in the wedding industry. We serve stories of all shapes, sizes, colors, and styles. 

HOW MANY WEDDINGS DO YOU DO EACH YEAR?
We're very busy, okay? No, really we love what we do and wish we could plan all the weddings but the truth is we only work with a limited number of couples per year. 15 to be exact. If you feel we're a good fit, let's chat! 

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A WEDDING PLANNER AND A VENUE COORDINATOR?
We certainly understand all of the confusion - wedding planner, wedding coordinator, venue coordinator. While all play a vital role, your wedding planner is focused solely on you and your interests. We work exclusively with you to curate a celebration that stems from your story and style...without unnecessary stress or unwelcome setbacks.
The venue coordinator is there to protect the interest of the venue. Still confused? Our friends at Moxie Bright wrote this amazing blog on the topic.

HOW MANY WEDDING PLANNERS ARE ON YOUR TEAM?
You'll get all of me...and my team too. While you will be working directly with me during the planning process, you will have the opportunity to meet (and fall in love with) my amazing team of assistants. Our roles are split so that I can focus on planning with you while they focus on venue and vendor management. It's a win-win for everyone!

WE'RE NOT FROM THE AREA, WILL YOU SUGGEST ACCOMODATIONS AND A REHEARSAL DINNER LOCATION?
Yes! We're self anointed foodies and hospitality snobs. We're happy to suggest many of the amazing restaurants and hotels located throughout Raleigh, the Triangle and The Triad. 

DO YOU OFFER DAY OF COORDINATION?
In short, no. We do offer event management which expands on the offering known as day of coordination. Unlike traditional day of coordination, you have access to our team throughout the planning process. We're happy to answer quick questions and offer thoughtful touch-points throughout the time you are planning. Our coordination piece begins three months out from your wedding date. We only offer this service to a limited number of clients per wedding season.

WHAT ABOUT BUDGET? DO YOU HAVE A MINIMUM?
Every wedding is unique therefore no budget is the same. Our couples tend to spend $350-$1,200 on the total wedding experience - (stationery, entertainment, venue, etc) - per guest.

WHAT ABOUT COORDINATING THE BRIDAL SHOWER AND WEDDING WEEKEND EVENTS?
We're here for it! We offer planning and coordination for events of all shapes and sizes. Just say the word and we'll build a custom package perfectly suited to your needs.

WHAT IS YOUR PRICING?
Our pricing is based on a number of factors, therefore we prepare a custom proposal for all of our prospective full planning couples. As a starting point, our event management pricing begins at $3,000 and full planning starts at $8,000.
Trust me, we're worth it and so are your time and sanity! 

Let us shoulder the stress and stop the wedding-planning 
madness (because you don’t have time for all that).
