5/5 experience working with Lori and her team at Elegant Weddings & Events. Lori is extremely detail-oriented, responsive, and during our many planning sessions, prompted us with questions that we never would have thought to ask. Her decades of experience in wedding planning and officiating show, as our wedding day ran as smoothly as possible. We also utilized Lori's rental decor, which was beautiful and elegant. We received many compliments from our guests about how beautiful the decorations were. Not only is Lori professional, but she's also a friendly and calming presence. Like many brides, I was a nervous wreck on the wedding day but Lori made a point to check in on me throughout the day to make sure I was doing okay. I cannot recommend her services enough—you can thank me later!

PROFFESIONAL, ORGANIZED, PATIENT, I could keep going. I loved everything about working with Lori. She guided me through the early process of planning which was a huge help. She helped us through our rehearsal walk through and had all timelines ready to go even a few days before the wedding. She even helped our officiant with his outline! On the day of the wedding Lori and Tiffany absolutely killed it, they worked so hard guiding our helpers through set up flawlessly, made sure everything was ready to go in perfect time. Lori did an amazing job getting the wedding party orchestrated for the walk down the Aisle. All around awesome working with elegant weddings and events, we couldnt be more happy with our experience! Lori is AMAZING, 10/10 would recommend :)

There's so much to say about Lori and her generosity! My partner and I hired her as our day-of-wedding coordinator and we can't imagine what planning would have been like without her. Even though she was just our day-of-coordinator, she supported us throughout the entire process. Her care for us and our wedding was very evident and genuine. Her leadership also really helped our wedding go smoothly. She thought of small event details that no layman would ever think of, and we are so grateful to her for her guidance. Our guests even kept asking us how we found Lori, and were complimenting her on her proficiency in event planning. We owe Lori so much, and would recommend her to absolutely everyone.

We hired Lori as our Coordinator and would highly recommend her for future weddings. She was great at executing our vision. She really listened to what we needed and what areas we wanted help with. She's definitely organized and responsive. We like that she was flexible when we needed some changes in the few weeks prior to our wedding date. We also liked that she gently made suggestions for us to consider when it came to timeline, floor plan, backup planning etc which ended up helping us out a lot and making us feel more prepared going into our wedding weekend. She led our rehearsal well too, even with my family members who can be easily distracted. Lori was like a jack of all trades for us, she provided advice, encouragement, and decorating ideas, as well as took on the day of tasks to keep our wedding day on track.

Details: 50 guests or fewer • DJ
