So so so thankful that we hired Lauren! She went above and beyond our expectations and most of all, she kept us on track. She was easy to communicate with and very responsive for the whole year we worked with her. We were able to have a worry free wedding day experience thanks to her. She also did an extremely great job at setting up all our decor and making our ceremony and reception look STUNNING. Would definitely recommend her to anyone who wants to have a stress free and amazing wedding process. 11/10 on her services.
INVEST. Lauren is worth EVERY penny!

There truly aren’t enough words to describe how AMAZING Lauren is. If there’s ONE thing you should invest in for your wedding (or any event), let it be Lauren—you will not regret it. From start to finish, she was beyond helpful, incredibly organized, and genuinely caring. She was always a step ahead, thinking of every little detail before I even had the chance to worry about it. Her attentiveness and calm presence made all the difference throughout the entire process. She wasn’t just managing the wedding—she was checking in on us constantly, making sure my (now) husband and I had drinks in our hands (whether water or cocktails—she’d double-check to make sure we were good). What truly blew me away was that every single vendor we worked with pulled me aside to say the same thing: “We wish every bride had a Lauren.” That says it all. She’s not just good at what she does—she’s exceptional. Lauren made our day seamless, joyful, and completely stress-free. Hiring her was, without question, the best decision we made!
AMAZING! Everything we could've asked for and more

I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Julia and your team. From the moment we started working together two months before our wedding, Julia brought such a sense of calm, clarity, and confidence to the entire planning process. She was incredibly organized, communicative, and thoughtful, anticipating needs before they even came up and ensuring we felt supported every step of the way. On the day of our wedding, I felt completely at ease knowing Julia was there. Everything flowed so smoothly, and any small issues were handled so quickly and quietly that we didn’t even notice them, because she had it all under control. Her presence was such a grounding force: calm, kind, and always with a warm smile. She managed timelines, vendors, details, and logistics with such grace that we were truly able to relax and soak in every moment of the day. Not only was she an incredible coordinator, but she also treated us with genuine care and respect. You can tell she really loves what she does, and it shows in every interaction. Julia made our wedding feel effortless, and I know it was because of all their hard work behind the scenes. Hiring her was easily one of the best decisions we made. Thank you, Julia, for helping bring our vision to life and for making our day so special!
Highly recommend!

From the moment we first spoke with the team at I Do Memorable Occasions, we were impressed by their professional, consistent, and thorough communication style. Throughout the wedding planning process, Lauren was incredibly detailed, organized, and thoughtful, asking great questions of our vendors and venue that we hadn't even considered. She went above and beyond to ensure our wedding day was as seamless as possible, allowing my husband and I to truly enjoy ourselves. Lauren was also so welcoming, sweet, and caring, which helped me stay calm leading up to the big day. We are so grateful for the exceptional service and value provided by I Do Memorable Occasions - they truly made our wedding everything we dreamed it could be. Highly recommend!
