The BEST Planner
Working with Laura was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding—she cared just as much as we did, and that was clear from the very beginning.
From our very first meeting in her home, we signed the contract because we just knew. We didn’t even have to think about it. There was an immediate sense of trust, calm, and confidence in her that made the decision effortless.
From that point on, she carried everything with such care, professionalism, and quiet dedication that we always felt supported. We never felt alone in any decision or challenge—she was constantly thinking ahead, solving problems before they could grow, and protecting our vision every step of the way.
When issues came up with our original venue—including an unpleasant smell and other concerns—Laura stepped in immediately. She didn’t just help us navigate it; she advocated for us, pushed for answers, and ultimately secured a refund. What could have easily overshadowed our entire experience was handled with such steadiness that we were able to move forward without losing our excitement for the day.
When we made the decision to move everything to Wentworth Sports Complex, including catering, Laura embraced it fully and immediately brought a sense of calm to what could have felt like chaos. At the same time, she was helping us plan a surprise wedding, and she carried that responsibility with such quiet precision that it never once felt overwhelming for us.
She handled every detail with complete discretion, making sure nothing was ever revealed too soon and that every moment unfolded exactly as it was meant to. From there, she brought our entire day together—coordinating the bridal party, music, and key moments, and even hosting a rehearsal at the new venue so everyone felt confident and prepared. She grounded everyone involved and made the entire experience feel steady and effortless.
One of the most meaningful touches was how she carefully coordinated the arrival of our officiant, a close family friend, ensuring everything unfolded naturally so the surprise remained intact. It’s a detail we will never forget.
She completely transformed the space itself. What was originally a sports bar with soccer, pickleball, and batting cages became something warm, romantic, and almost surreal—a true fairy-tale setting that reflected us perfectly. Walking in felt like stepping into a dream; we were honestly speechless. Seeing it for the first time was emotional in a way we didn’t expect.
On the wedding day, everything unfolded seamlessly. There was a sense of calm the entire day because we knew Laura had it all handled. We were able to be fully present, fully emotional, and fully in the moment without ever worrying about what was happening behind the scenes (including one of our guests being sick right before the big wedding reveal).
But what stays with us most isn’t just how flawlessly everything was executed—it’s how deeply she cared. By the end of it all, Laura didn’t feel like someone we hired. She felt like someone who had walked alongside us through one of the most important chapters of our lives and became part of our family.
We are endlessly grateful for her. This review doesn’t even begin to capture the ways she brought our day to life. If you’re looking for someone who will truly show up for you, protect your vision, and pour heart into every detail—even something as complex as a surprise wedding—we can’t imagine anyone better than Laura. 1000/10, forever family, and forever our recommendation for a wedding planner. -

Best decision we made!
Laura was a life saver, she was the best decision we made when planning our wedding. Our only regret, was not hiring her sooner. Laura and her sister are the perfect team. She helped us with everything and always had our back. Laura kept everything organized, created a very detailed schedule and a lead us in a fun rehearsal. She made sure our day went off without a hitch (thank goodness). We could not recommend her more, she becomes like family. -

Stress-Free and Absolutely Perfect!!
We hired Laura to help with our son’s engagement party, and she was beyond incredible! Since the wedding would be a smaller destination event overseas, it was important to us that this celebration felt like the main event for our friends and community. Laura completely understood the vision and made the evening look and feel like a real wedding. Not only was it beautiful, joyful, and unforgettable… she handled every challenge behind the scenes so smoothly that I didn’t even know they were happening. Instead of stressing about logistics, I was able to relax and truly enjoy the celebration with family and friends. -

Amazing coordinator
Laura was absolutely incredible to work with as our wedding coordinator. From the moment we met her, she made the entire planning process feel so much easier. She helped us think through so many important details that we never would have considered on our own, and took the time to learn what we wanted, while still bringing her warmth and expertise to help guide us in the right direction. It was clear she genuinely cared about making our day special and stress-free, and that she knew how to do it, too.
On the day of the wedding, Laura was amazing. She handled everything behind the scenes and made sure the entire day ran smoothly so we could simply enjoy the moment with each other, our friends, and our family. Her go-getter attitude, positive energy, and welcoming personality made such a difference throughout the whole experience.
We truly couldn’t have done it without her. We highly recommend Laura, and are eternally grateful for all of her support and hard work. -

Five Stars Isn’t Enough
We are beyond grateful for Laura and truly cannot imagine our wedding day without her. From the very beginning, she was kind, calm, and genuinely caring, treating us not just like clients but like family. From the day we met her, through setup, the entire wedding day, and all the way through the night, Laura was incredibly organized, thoughtful, and always one step ahead.
She handled every detail, every transition, and every unexpected moment so seamlessly that we never once had to worry. Knowing Laura was there allowed us to fully relax and enjoy our wedding day, be present with our loved ones, and soak in every special moment without stress. She anticipated our needs before we even had to ask and made sure everything ran smoothly from start to finish.
Laura’s professionalism, warmth, and dedication truly set her apart. She went above and beyond in every way, and her care and attention meant the world to us. Hiring Laura was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding, and we will forever be thankful for the role she played in making our day so perfect and unforgettable -

She truly loves, love ❤️
Our experience with Laura was nothing short of incredible. She was organized, attentive, calm under pressure, and truly went above and beyond for us. She handled every detail with such care and professionalism, allowing us to fully enjoy our day without stress. If something did go wrong I had no idea, she was on top of everything. Laura became family đź©·
Our wedding day was flawless, and we received so many compliments on how smoothly everything ran. That is entirely thanks to her. If you want someone who genuinely cares and will treat your wedding like it’s their own, look no further. We are so grateful for everything she did for us!-

The best of the best planner!
We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding planner. Planning a mixed Jewish and non-Jewish wedding can come with a lot of moving parts, and she handled everything seamlessly. We didn’t know her going into this, yet she treated us like family from day one. Despite having very little time to prepare, she pulled off an incredible wedding that exceeded our expectations. Truly only good things to say and we’re so grateful for everything she did. -

Amazing person and event planner
Laura is amazing at what she does. She was with us through the process of planning out wedding and promptly answered any questions we had.
She gave me the confidence that out wedding day would go without any issues. She is very well organized with lists and stayed up to date with us through phone calls and texting.
Would highly recommend her for planning any of your special events. -

Laura 100% went above and beyond 100/10 Would Definitely Recommend!
Laura went above and beyond to make our wedding day special. Her knowledge and expertise were definitely something we needed to enjoy an stress-free wedding day and we regret not hiring her earlier. The advantage with hiring Laura is that she has a growing roster of vendors for every need, from photo booths to decor. She even went with us to look for wedding decor that matched our aesthetic. -
