Our Approach

Event Management (commonly referred to as day of coordination) is ideal for the couple who has planned out the details on their own but wants our team of experts to handle the final vendor communication, timeline creation and wedding weekend execution.

We step in and manage logistics as the day-of approaches allowing you to do what is important - enjoy your wedding day with friends and loved ones.

We take on a limited number of event management clients based on availability, venue and peak season. 


Planning & Coordination

Full Service Planning Design & Coordination is for the couple that has discerning taste and high expectations—but zero desire to let wedding planning take over your life.

You don't want to be inundated with endless options or overwhelmed by a ton of tedious to-dos. You want a planner who can match you with the best options for your style, budget and personality.

We've got you covered! 

We problem solve on your behalf, work meticulously to bring your vision to life, and create an event experience that honors your love story, puts Pinterest to shame, and leaves your guests raving for years to come. We handle the overwhelming vendor communication and manage stress with our custom phased based planning system and organized client portal.

Planning & Coordination is for the couple that has most of the details worked out but still desires the guidance of a professional wedding planner.

We first meet to go over the details and analyze the budget and then we draft a detailed timeline and highlight important planning milestones.

This package is highly customizable as we build in 10 hours of planning time for you to use at your discretion. From additional support with design to vendor meetings and communication, the hours are yours to use as needed.

Planning & Coordination is ideal for couples seeking a customizable planning experience.

the Experience

step by step, here's what to expect

Karren + Mark

"Lauren and her team were amazing! They were there from the early stages of wedding planning till the last minute of the wedding night. They were hands on, never missed a thing, and were our advocates. I highly recommend them."  — Karren + Mark

"They were hands on, never missed a thing, and were our advocates."

Lauren + Vincent

"We hired Lauren O & Co. a mere three months before our wedding. The wedding took place in a  church and the reception was held in a tent at our home. We cannot say enough good things about Lauren O and her wonderful team. They were on top of every detail, dealing with every vendor, solving every problem and were just a dream to work with. Thanks to the efficiency of Lauren and her team, we were free to enjoy ourselves thoroughly. We would recommend her and her team to anyone!" — Lauren & Vincent

"We cannot say enough good things about Lauren O and her wonderful team."

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+"
