Harriet Goode20 January 2024 My partner and I had a video call with Laura to talk through our abroad wedding and she was fantastic! I was really anxious and stressed about the wedding before our call. Laura went through the day, pre and post wedding celebrations in thorough detail. I couldn't recommended her services enough. There were so many details I hadn't considered until we spoke. If you are looking for advice on your wedding then you 100% need to contact her. If we were getting married in the UK I would have loved for her to be our wedding planner. Thank you very much Amy Cat7 December 2023 We hired Laura as a day of coordinator for our wedding and it was the best decision we made about our wedding day. We had a video call with Laura and a couple of other day of coordinators before we made a booking. She answered all of our many questions, patiently and professionally. Laura by far gave us the most confidence of all the people we spoke to and that confidence was not misplaced. She didn't just turn up on our wedding day and do the tasks we asked of her. She helped us make sure we had all the prep done, so that we could execute our perfect wedding on the day. We both felt she really went the extra mile. She even helped us secure one of our most important vendors (florist) at the last minute when we were struggling to do it ourselves. This vendor also went on to exceed our expectations. I was so in love with our flowers, they bought me so much joy. That wouldn't have happened without Laura's help. I think if we were to go through the process again knowing what we know now, we would have hired Laura as a full wedding planner. She is absolutely worth the investment. Laura made sure everything ran smoothly and to plan. Our wedding was very personalized and she was able to execute our vision better than we ever could have. She listened to what we wanted, even the nonstandard things and helped us do that. We had a blissful, stress-free wedding, which is exactly what my husband wanted from the outset and at the time he did not think would be possible. If you're wondering if a day of coordinator or planner is worth it, Laura absolutely is. This is your sign to give her a call. We can't recommend her highly enough. James2 October 2023 Laura was fantastic before, during and after our one-off consultation. She provides a wonderful service and is aware of wanting to give you the most she can with her time. Laura took into account our viewpoint and suggestions and provided options for us whilst staying realistic to our budget. Couldn't ask for a nicer planner. Thanks so much Laura. Andrew16 September 2023 We didn't know how much we needed a wedding coordinator until we signed up with Laura. She has been a massive help since the beginning and our wedding day ran smoothly because of her. Looking back, we think a lot of the things could have gone wrong or forgotten if Laura wasn't present. Knowing that we can rely on Laura a few weeks before the wedding and on the day itself has up our minds at ease and allowed us to just be in the moment and celebrate the day with the people we care about and love the most. Thanks for your hard work Laura. Michelle Ellis7 August 2023 If you’re reading this, I presume you’re on a quest to find a wedding planner. Let me tell you - do just stop right now and go check Laura’s availability, immediately. Because all that matters right now to you and your wedding is whether she’s free. If she’s free…you are entirely, ENTIRELY sorted. Your wedding WILL be AMAZING. Because, believe me, you have found THE WEDDING PLANNER BEYOND PERFECTION! 4-5 months before our wedding, I was freaking out. Not sleeping. We had chosen a venue we loved but was a DIY venue which involved a LOT of organization. Both my fiancé and myself work long hours full-time and live the other end of the country, and we were a bit naive about how much work the wedding planning would involve. I was a massively stressed, unhappy and overwhelmed bride, which just isn’t the way you want to be in the lead-up to one of the most special times of your life. My therapist suggested a wedding planner, and to ask one of our existing suppliers we had on board to recommend one. Through some kind of blessed miracle he recommended Laura, and then when I made contact, it turned out she was free! I hadn’t fully realised at the time how much this moment entirely turned things round for us and actually lead to the creation of what our all wedding guests have declared THE BEST WEDDING THEY’VE EVER BEEN TO. From the very first Zoom session with Laura, within moments, I completely knew that we had struck gold. Laura radiated calm, warmth, efficiency and meticulousness. She quickly identified everything that needed to be done and through spreadsheet wizardry and weekly Zoom sessions, everything incrementally slotted into place. We can’t thank Laura enough for her amazing support through what is inevitably a very stressful time - she gave us gentle pushes when we needed gentle pushes and through the planning process really took so much of the pressure off our shoulders. I have so much respect for Laura’s patience and her dedication to her work - the level of intensity, energy, multiple-plate-spinning and attention to detail that goes into being a wedding planner is truly mind-boggling. A truly special thing about Laura, beyond her incredible efficiency and skills, is how she brings her heart and soul to each of her weddings. By the time it got to the week of our wedding, it really struck my fiancé and I how Laura had become like a really great friend of ours, always with our best interests at heart at every turn, in such an authentic way. Our guests loved her and on the day itself she was incredible. Her calm and graceful way of choreographing everything to perfection had a huge role in making our wedding the very magical day that it was. Laura is simply a DIAMOND. Do your future self (and your wedding guests) the most enormous favour and book her now. You will see! Joe T5 August 2023 Laura is THE person you need at the wedding. We booked Laura about 8 months before our wedding as we realised we had a lot of suppliers arriving on the day and needed someone to coordinate it... what we got was SO much more. Laura was a key part of our wedding and it would not have gone the way it did without her help. She visiting the site ahead of the wedding, she stayed on top of all the suppliers in the build up, and was there the day before, the day of and the day after the wedding. It was amazing how quickly Laura shared our vision for the day, and took so much pressure of us - leaving me to focus on my speech and first dance! Laura is great at interacting with all of the guests, and sorting out all of the issues big and small. On the day we were both totally free just to take it in and enjoy. Given how important the day was, being able to relax and soak it all in makes it the best money we spent on the whole wedding. My only regret? Not having Laura from earlier on for a full planning service. THANK YOU LAURA! Danielle Mellor29 June 2023 Laura was our wedding planner in May 2023 and she was absolutely amazing. She was so thorough and calm and her attention to detail was fantastic. From the first time we met her over zoom, (when life was a bit chaotic for us and we hadn't planned a thing, four months before our wedding), she was so lovely and understanding and quickly got us into action by directing us to a very useful to do list in a timely fashion. She was very friendly, very patient and incredibly supportive throughout the whole process. We had an 130 person, three day wedding, which meant planning was doubled, but down to Laura's planning, epic spreadsheets, and calm presence across the weekend, everything went perfectly - not one glitch in 72 hours. I would highly recommend Laura as a wedding planner! Thank you Laura! Dani and Steve xx Lindsay13 April 2023 Laura is just amazing! From start to finish she was an absolute pleasure to work with. She is so professional, super organised and above all so friendly and easy to talk to. She helped us with every detail of our wedding (including many we would never have thought of!) and was able to accommodate some of our more unusual requests! Our regular planning meetings were so helpful to keep us on track, even when we were not always in the same country! She was there throughout the weekend making sure everything went smoothly and our guests commented on how helpful she was. We absolutely could not have done it without her and she made our wedding weekend unforgettable. Thank you so much, Lindsay & John xx jason james30 May 2022 What can we say about Laura and kept weddings? We began arranging our wedding at the beginning of 2021 just as covid was starting to ease. We actually originally started with another wedding planner but the level of effort was at absolute zero. So that pushed us to have another look into wedding planners and we’re absolutely ecstatic about the fact we stumbled upon Laura. From the very beginning she answered every phone call, every email and arranged video calls to ensure we were heard and supported. She wrote us an entire plan, with every aspect of the wedding accounted for. She produced a detailed budget plan, and helped us to decide what was necessary for the big day and what could be some lovely exciting additions to blow our guests away. Laura met us at the venue for a visit so we could envisage what our day could be like, and took over all the interactions with the venue and the suppliers. She arranged the trials for make up and hair, ensuring this fit in around both ours & the suppliers schedules! There’s just no way of putting into words how much Laura did for us and arranging the perfect day. Everything went so smoothly on the day, down to the absolute precision timings of the aisle songs, even the weather was perfect (although not sure even Laura was capable of controlling that) 😂 Jay & I want to say a huge huge thank you for making our day the most incredible day of our lives. Everyone needs a Laura when they’re planning a wedding. I wish she could also be my life planner 🤣
