Twelfth Night Events

Lauren,

From day 1 of meeting you on site at Wheatfield, Josh and I knew we were meant to work with you to bring our vision to life.

You are the best of the best. I truly don’t know how else to say it, but there is no one else that we would have rather worked with. You made the planning process so seamless and easy. You were quick to respond to my many messages over the final 3 months of planning. You put out our fires, big and small, with ease and grace.

Our wedding was as wonderful as it was because of your creative touch and your top of the game expertise. While we only had a partial planning package, it was comforting to know you were in our corner every step of the way.

As a wedding vendor myself, I can really appreciate your swift responses to our messages, and your careful attention to detail when planning your clients weddings.

Thank you for everything. We will continue to rave about you forever and ever.

You’re simply the best.

Love always,
The Goodings

Adding Shandi from Twelfth Night Events was one of the best decisions we had made. I'm a very organized and hands on person myself and it was very nice to work with someone as detailed oriented, really got my vision and worked with my vendors the three months leading up to our wedding to ensure everything ran as smoothly as possible, including the day of where you certainly need the behind the scenes help to deal with many items as well as guidance throughout the day of. We now reflect and are so happy with the decision to have added TNE to our vendor team and guide us and work with our vision. Shandi was so wonderful to work with, she went above and beyond. She certainly made our vision come to life and we're forever thankful for that and such a magical day that our guests are still raving about. If you second guessed a wedding planner like we had, don't you wont regret it!

My husband and I got married in July 2022. It was the most perfect day and Lauren and Shandi made it even more perfect. They relieved so much stress from me coming up to the wedding day and made sure our day went by so smoothly. Honestly some of the best spent money on our wedding! Thank you so much ladies ❣️ 1000 percent recommend

Saying yes to working with Twelfth Night Events as our wedding coordinator was easily the BEST decision we made when it came to our wedding planning! Shandi was an absolute dream to work with and she wholeheartedly made our experience amazing. I was very nervous that I would be so consumed with making sure everything would be perfect the day of that I would ruin the day for myself but Shandi took full control of everything and I had zero trouble putting all my faith in her and the team and was able to be present the entire day!! Shandi was a dream trouble shooter and when small snags crept up (they always do) she swiftly and elegantly handled everything. I can’t say enough good things! We are so beyond grateful!

If you’re reading this testimonial and contemplating whether or not to hire a wedding planner, whatever stage of the game you’re at, the answer is a resounding YES!!! And please don’t work with just any wedding planner; you want your wedding to be the BEST, therefore you need to work with the BEST! Lauren and her team at TNE are simply the BEST. I promise you will receive not only value for your investment, but you will also maintain your sanity and your relationship in the process! Here are my top 3 ways in which working with the TNE dream team will provide value.

1. TNE WILL EXECUTE YOUR VISION
2. TNE WILL MANAGE YOUR BUDGET
3. TNE WILL MAINTAIN YOUR SANITY

I had a very detailed vision for our wedding day and I quickly realized I needed someone to help bring that dream to reality. Lauren and her tram were my wedding planning sounding board. I would state my idea and they would do the background work, sourcing vendors, compiling pricing and providing me options. They have industry connections and know how to get exactly what you’re looking for! They would provide detailed task lists for me at each stage of the game to ensure I was on track - this was a life saver. They share your vision. On the day of our wedding I was blown away with the result of how all of our ideas came to fruition - it was BETTER than I could have ever imagined!!! And can I just add that this team works their butts off on day of the wedding to make sure everything is perfect. One minute I looked over and saw them lifting heavy furniture, then the next they are placing name cards perfectly in their spot. The attention to detail was in each element and it all came together so polished and flawless! If you have a dream for your wedding day, Lauren and TNE swill make it come true!

Weddings are expensive. Fact. Hiring TNE will save you money. Fact! Lauren and her team saved us money at every opportunity. I can promise you that Lauren and her team will do everything in their power to stick to your budget and get you to the finish line without breaking the bank. If you have a budget, you need a team with experience to know the costs, and hidden costs, start to finish, to ensure you cross the finish line in the black.

Wedding planning and execution day-of is stressful. Fact. TNE will reduce stress and maintain your sanity. Fact! My number one reason for working with TNE was that I wanted to enjoy my wedding day. I didn’t want to worry that the Jones bailed last minute, that the band got lost en route to the venue, or that the flowers were the wrong colour! No matter how much you plan, some things will not go according to plan, and having someone manage through it all is PRICELESS! What would instantly be enough to ruin your day, Lauren will handle with professionalism and make it right without you even knowing it happened! She is like the quarterback of your wedding day. I was able to relax and soak it all in knowing that everything was under Lauren’s control. And at the end of the day, that’s what it’s all about, enjoying your wedding day with the people who love you the most!

In summary, to say hiring TNE is a good idea would be a gross understatement. If you are as lucky as I was to have this dream team in your corner, it will be the BEST decision you make!

Lauren, Shandi and all the wonderful people that busted their butts to make our wedding day the best day ever, from the bottom of our hearts, thank you!!!

We signed up for the partial wedding planning package with Lauren and her team. It was extremely helpful for us, as we lived out of province. Lauren and her team were SO easy to work with, and ensured everything was perfect the day of the wedding. They had everything covered, which allowed us to enjoy the day and not stress about thing. We would recommend their services to anyone planning a wedding! :)

Lauren was invaluable to pulling off our big day. Lauren took our abstract and obscure concepts and turned them into the exact atmosphere we wanted. Our families are still talking about how beautiful it was and how much fun they all had. She kept us on top of our timeline, gently coaxing us onward when we needed the push. She organized and made notes on all our meetings. Above all, what we are most appreciative of is the peace of mind she provided us as we approached the date. Thank you Lauren for all your work in making our wedding vision come true.

Twelfth Night Events was everything we hoped for and more! If you aren't sure if a planner is worth the extra expense, when it comes to Twelfth Night Events it's the best money spent! They answered all our questions, kept us on track, offered advise and suggested vendors who were equally amazing to work with, all while supporting and being open to vendos we already had in mind, even when they hadn't worked with them before. They took our vision (which was difficult to put into words) and made it come to life, in a dream come true day! Our day was absolutely flawless all thanks to TNE and it ran so smoothly! Even our guests were commenting on how well organized the day was and the attention to detail, which was all thanks to TNE! We never worried about anything leading up to the day and especially on the big day because we knew TNE had everything under control. We couldn't be happier with our decision to have TNE by our side! We can't stress enough how amazing our day was all thanks to the TNE team. We miss working with them and will for sure keep them in our lives first as friends then as TNE!!

If you are unsure if this wedding planning service is for you, you are about to be reassured. We are so happy to write this well deserved and in-depth review for a wedding planning company who deserve nothing but the best words to describe their amazing services! Adam and I are so grateful to have the opportunity to hire and work with Lauren De Koster and her amazing and professional team of wedding planners at Twelfth Night Events. It all started when our friends Steven and Natasha had this magical and out of this world wedding that blew up all social media networks. As I marveled at all the details their wedding had, I couldn't help but think that I want that but how on earth did they do this? How does a busy working couple with huge families on both sides have the time to plan an amazing wedding which reflects their personalities and adventurous visions? Then I found out they hired a Lauren and her team at Twelfth Night Events. Lauren and her team is a god sent! This was the exact phrase our friends described her as and this is 100% accurate. We first hired Lauren for our engagement party to handle the candy/baked goods table. Needless to say, Lauren blew it out of the park and it was the BEST focal point of our day. Our pathways soon met again when we met at her office and had a lovely and informative meeting about her role as a wedding planner. We were completely comfortable and confident to hire Lauren to partially plan our wedding day. We chose partial planning as I was the type of bride who enjoyed every aspect of wedding planning and wanted to put in my part. Needless to say, I am a huge control freak and I needed to have full control over my wedding and Lauren was completely fine with that and WORKED WITH ME AS I WORKED FOR MYSELF. We had multiple meetings and what I love about Lauren and her team is that these meeting didn't always have to be in person but a mixture of phone calls, emails, and text messages. Lauren and her team are tech savvy in that they are informed and trained to communicate with brides and vendors using multiple technical devices. I like to describe Lauren as a chameleon as she is able to be firm yet professional with vendors which is needed when some are difficult to deal with, she is also able to be firm yet loving with brides like me who need to be told to take a step back and let her handle it. Lauren KNOWS WHAT SHE IS DOING, she has amazing vendors under her belt, and has a list of vendors bigger then you can imagine. I seemed as though when I needed something unusual like a vintage car or a saxophone and string quartet, she knew the professionals to contact. She is able to book and secure stops and services with vendors for brides. Lauren is detailed and nothing gets passed her, she is also creative and is able to work with decor and create focal points that just make you want to stop and stare and even shed a tear or two. Lauren and her team were extremely professional and provided quality customer service that was worth the money. They earn what they get paid to do. They went above and beyond the call of duty planning our wedding and making sure our wedding day was the most perfect, Lauren attended and made notes during every single vendor meeting, and she communicated with vendors so I didn't have to. I like to think of Lauren as a shield who protects her brides from the messiness that comes with booking vendors and noting the details. I was not stressed nor worried weeks before our wedding because I trusted Lauren and everything was done sooner than later thanks to her. Our wedding day was nothing short of spectacular. Nothing went wrong that day. Lauren handled EVERYTHING. She picked up the decor I wanted her to set up and created beautiful displays which reflected my personal flare and passion for antiques and vintage items; she made sure Adam and I were taken care of throughout the evening; she took care of envelopes with vendor payments, she created magical and show stopping tables, and finally she made sure EVERYONE did their job and it was perfect. When Adam and I walked into our venue we were shocked, everything was exactly as planned and more. As a bride who spent almost two years planning and thinking about every detail of my wedding day, Lauren made sure that my visions and dreams came true. We highly recommend Lauren De Koster and her Twelfth Night Events team to any couple who wants the PERFECT DAY EVER. This is a company who you can trust like your own family. Lauren is now considered a friend who I plan on keeping in contact with, after all how can you thank the person who planned and created the best day ever for you and your husband! A once in a lifetime day deserves a once in a lifetime company!

Lauren and Kassia were the best decision we made for our wedding day and such an enormous help! Prior to our first meeting my now husband was unconvinced that we needed planners and didn't see the cost-benefit but after meeting Lauren he agreed it was money very well spent. TNE is also well priced which a lot of people don't realize, having a wedding planner is totally affordable and not just for celebrities!

Lauren executed our vision perfectly and took care of everything with our input. Our wedding day was worry-free and I could enjoy being a bride, a busy job in of itself. Lauren had great decor suggestions, hooked us up with the best vendors, and was professional but also a friend. I am a perfectionist and prone to anxiety and I had very little stress over my wedding because she handled everything. If an unpleasant situation arose Lauren took care of it and I absolutely loved having someone who was in my corner and so supportive. I am so grateful to TNE and can't wait to see the next wedding Lauren has planned, my maid of honour's! Thanks again to Lauren and Kassia for their awesome vision and their support :)
