Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ's

A
Q

We value your time as much as you do—so every step of our planning process is intentional, efficient, and impactful. Planning is structured around clear milestones and monthly touchpoints, ensuring progress without unnecessary meetings. With thoughtfully designed action steps and streamlined communication, our time together is as productive as it is enjoyable.

Behind the scenes, we’re handling challenges before they ever reach you. We loop you in only when necessary—because you’re too busy for anything less than a seamless, stress-free experience.

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 really 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.

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

While Lauren personally leads every event, she is supported by an incredible team of assistants dedicated to ensuring a seamless experience. During the planning process, you'll work directly with Lauren as she guides you through every decision and detail. When it comes to venue and vendor management, her trusted team steps in to handle logistics, ensuring every element comes together flawlessly. This strategic division of roles allows Lauren to focus entirely on your vision—while her team ensures the execution is nothing short of perfection. 

HOW MANY WEDDING PLANNERS ARE ON YOUR TEAM?

In short, no. We are a full-service wedding planning company, meaning we’re with you every step of the way. From the initial vision to the final farewell, we meticulously curate every detail to ensure a seamless, stress-free experience. With our expert guidance and hands-on approach, you can fully immerse yourself in the joy of your engagement—confident that every element is being handled with precision, care, and an unwavering commitment to bringing your dream wedding to life.

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 $1,000, per guest, on the total wedding experience - stationery, entertainment, venue, etc. 

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.
