Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ's

A
Q

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 IS THE PLANNING PROCESS LIKE? IS IT STRAIGHTFORWARD AND TO THE POINT?

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. 

WHAT COUPLES DO YOU SERVE?

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! 

HOW MANY WEDDINGS DO YOU DO EACH YEAR?

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.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A WEDDING PLANNER AND A VENUE COORDINATOR?

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!

HOW MANY WEDDING PLANNERS ARE ON YOUR TEAM?

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.

DO YOU OFFER DAY OF COORDINATION?

Every wedding is unique therefore no budget is the same. We take pride in building a custom proposal based on location, your unique vision and guest count. On average, our couples tend to spend $650, per guest, on the total wedding experience - stationery, entertainment, venue, etc. Trust me, we're worth it and so are your time and sanity! 

WHAT ABOUT BUDGET? DO YOU HAVE A MINIMUM? WHAT IS YOUR PRICING?

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.

Naomi + Keith

I cannot say enough about Lauren and her team. They were absolutely AMAZING to work with. They were extremely responsive and made our vision for our wedding come to life! So many people say wedding planning is so stressful, but I can honestly say we felt none of that. The team literally took ALL of the stress off of our shoulders. Everyone that we have spoken to has raved about how beautiful everything turned out and how it was one of if not the best wedding they have been to. I am mad I can only give 5 stars cause I want to give 10+"

Rita + Jeremy

I loved her the moment we met and was so excited to work with her. I knew right away that we'd made the right decision and she was super helpful throughout the planning process. Five weeks before our wedding day, we found out the town was having a very large and loud festival right next to our outdoor wedding site, effectively losing our wedding venue at the 11th hour. Lauren jumped into action and found us another (even better) venue within one week! Everything about her and her staff was absolute perfection! I can't recommend her strongly enough!

“Absolute perfection…I can't recommend her strongly enough!”

Donna + Jeremy

If you are going to spend money and time making sure every detail in your wedding is perfect so that you and your soon-to-be spouse can have an amazing day, then without a shadow of a doubt, you need Lauren O and her team. My husband and I have said a million times since our wedding, hiring Lauren O and her team for our wedding was the best decision we ever made. We are endlessly grateful to her and wholeheartedly recommend her and her team.
