I could not have had a better experience wedding planning. Yes, planning a wedding is stressful. Even the day of can be overwhelming. But anytime I needed anything Lisa knew exactl...

y what to do and relieved all anxiety I was having. I wish I could afford to keep her for the rest of my life. And Laurie. UGH! I had a very specific vision for my florals. And omg did she execute perfectly. I have never been so obsessed with arrangement. I had guest begging me to take the center pieces. And some even asking for the bridesmaid bouquets 🤣 I just loved Events by L. Absolutely amazing, talented, and kind women. Thank you ladies for everything

Lisa and Laurie are excellent. I highly recommend

We used Events by L for our holiday party this year. We hired them for the planning and the florals. I have one huge regret, that I didn’t hire them sooner! They put everything ...

together for me based on the kind of party I wanted to have. They found all of the right vendors, helped me pick out the menu, and gave me ideas to include that I could never have thought of! The décor they pulled off was amazingly festive and better than I hoped for. You girls hit it out of the park and I can’t wait until our summer party!

Kimberly W

When I found Events by L, I needed ALL the help they could give me! Having never planned a wedding, and not wanting to be a burden on my friends and family, they were such a bless...

ing. I could ask them about anything, and they made me feel so comfortable and just at ease throughout the whole time before the wedding and then especially on the wedding day. My husband (gahh! I love saying that!!!) and I just showed up on the day and got to enjoy every single second knowing that everything was being handled by our wedding team! It was so cool! They made sure we were fed and hydrated throughout the day, and they set up everything just the way I had in mind, except for one spot – and they did it even better than I had envisioned because my décor wouldn’t all fit on a small table the venue had set out, so they improvised, and it looked so beautiful. Thank you both so much for all your hard work and help! Your team was so helpful and thoughtful, and we truly appreciate all that they did!

d have referred them for several weddings. They do a fabulous job at the planning and decor and I'd be lost without them. Our Thanksgiving tables this year were so beautiful, I wish I knew how to post pictures so you could see. Every event with them has been a relaxing, flawless event that all of our guests have raved about. Thank you gals for all of your hard work. You have built an amazing team! See you again next month for the Christmas Soiree! Cheers, Marsha Blescoe

Morgan P

Ladies!! Thank you so much for all you did to help my wedding day turn out as beautifully as it did. From all of the planning we did over a year ago until the day of the wedding. ...

I still can't get over how much fun the day was! But you helped the entire process go smoothly and I never felt overwhelmed which I normally do as a certified control freak! The florals turned out better than I could have imagined, and I will never forget the added touches you took care of! You and your team went well above and beyond, and I can't tell you how appreciative Mark and I are of everything you did. It did not go unnoticed! Your attention to detail and communication with our vendors made things flow on the day like a perfectly choreographed production! We just had to show up and enjoy ourselves and we did! Thank you so much, we can't wait to come up with a party to work with you all again!

Susan W

Very professional and attentive to detail

Don R

The L’s were fantastic and made the entire planning process so much easier for us, we could not have done it without them. We were planning our wedding from out of the state and we...

moved across the country in the middle of planning, but the L’s were able to help us find local vendors and keep us on track with their monthly checklists. They helped us find a photographer when the ones we were reaching out to never responded, and the DJ they recommended for us was amazing and made the whole reception. The best part about working with them was that it was fun, we looked forward to our video meetings and when we had the chance to meet in person we had a blast. 100% recommend and would hire again for another wedding, but hopefully we won’t have to!

Jenny P

Ladies, all I can say is THANK YOU! I literally can't find the words to properly share my gratitude toward you and your services for our wedding. Having you do my planning and flor...

als was a dream come true! I was able to relax during my hair and makeup and photos during the day knowing you and your team was on site managing my vendors and setting up all of my stuff from my guest book, place cards, escort cards, favors, and so much more - and it was A LOT! We may have gone a little pinterest crazy with all of the details but you ladies pulled it off for me. I still don't know how you got it all done but thank you so much! I still can't believe I forgot to wear my garter belt and you guys had one in your tool kit! Still gives me chills. I love you ladies and have already referred you to 3 of my bridesmaids and I believe you booked one of them yesterday - Kailey! I am so excited to get to see you on her day. All the best to you both and your team. You guys are the BEST!!!!

ing signs out, lighting candles, telling vendors where to set up, or keeping track of the schedule because they handled it all! I think I would’ve been much more stressed out without them there. Definitely would recommend them to anyone!!

I was referred to Events by L by my maid of honor, she used the team on her big day a couple years back. I was fortunate enough to get to use them for both my planning and for my ...

florals. The L’s are were the biggest blessing of my wedding process! I can’t thank you ladies enough. They essentially held my hand from the moment we hired them on until the grand entrance! After that it was party time and the best night of my life! Any questions we had, they answered in a timely manner, always! In fact, they were the ONLY vendor that we could count on getting back to us right away. They completely put my mind at ease and were able to fill in the missing links with vendors we needed, décor ideas, and our game plan for the day. I can’t forget the florals – I was blown away, they were better than I could have ever imagined! They even helped me with the drying process so that I get to keep my bouquet forever. Thank you ladies so much for everything you did for me. I will be referring you to everyone I know who is getting married and any other events that they have!!!

When I was looking for a florist I vetted a handful of florists and Events by L stood out as I could tell they understood my vision. They were incredibly responsive and collaborati...

ve the months leading up to my wedding, I sent them many photos of inspiration for color and style of flowers and where I wasn't sure what I liked, they were quick to send me pictures and ideas to help us quickly decide. The flowers the day of my wedding could not have turned out better. The Events by L team created a beautiful chuppah and ceremony setup. They are so skilled and experienced, quickly helping flip the ceremony site for the reception and making the evening look magical. They also helped us save a bit here and there with thoughtful recommendations and they found creative ways to repurpose our ceremony flowers for the reception. Finally, the table arrangements could not have been more beautiful -- our guests took them all home :) Events by L are clearly pros, lovely to work with and create beautiful arrangements! I can't stop recommending them and am excited to use them for my parent’s anniversary celebration this year!

Megan S

We knew that we wanted to hire wedding planners from the minute we got engaged and we knew we wanted someone professional, determined, kind, trustworthy, creative, and supportive. ...

These are the exact words we would use to describe Events by L. We think every wedding should have a bride, groom, bridesmaids, groomsmen, and Events by L...(and not necessarily in that order!) :) They are so much more than wedding planners, they are a real service with true values that you, your wedding party, and families feel and sense as your big day approaches and then through the day itself. The L's made us feel like our wedding and our guests were as important to them as they were to us. We seriously couldn't recommend them enough. Thanks so much for all you did for us!!!

Kristen S

Thank you so much for all of your help, advice, guidance and support during our wedding planning process. You made all the overwhelming and daunting tasks manageable and made our s...

pecial day one that we will both never forget. Your impeccable taste and attention to detail was amazing. Thank you for also putting up with my 5:00am emails and never-ending questions! I also LOVED my wedding florals! You nailed it! I wasn't sure if I would be able to get the vision in my mind across, but somehow you got it because it looked exactly as I'd hoped, and even better! It was beautiful! We can't recommend you enough! An all around beautiful, seamless event.

er was unpredicatable and made everything a little more hectic and not go quite as planned, but they were flexible and handled all the changes so well. The day was wonderful, and I’m so glad they were there to be on top of things. I remarked to my husband how every time I turned around, things that I didn’t even think about were being taken care of! The flowers were also BEAUTIFUL, and exactly what I was hoping for.

Our FAVORITE Wedding Vendors! It was an absolute joy working with Laurie and Lisa for my wedding day! They are the most kindhearted people and truly care about their clients and h...

ave amazing work ethic. Everything was incredibly easy and effortless leading up to the big day, which is so important when you are dealing with all of the stress of planning a wedding. The floral arrangements all came out perfectly and were more beautiful than I could ever have imagined! The colors they selected for the flowers complimented our natural wedding theme flawlessly. If you want someone who is truly passionate about what they do and does an incredible job, I would strongly recommend working with Events by L for your big day. They helped make my wedding experience so much better!

If you can do one thing to take the edge off your wedding day, hire Events by L. I am a planner and a bit of a control freak, but as I got deeper into coordinating my own wedding,...

I knew I didn't want to spend the "day of" running around worrying about details. Thank goodness Laurie and Lisa were available on my special day and they were worth every penny! They worked with my vendors, had the itinerary down pat, kept everyone on point, helped me when I was frazzled... I just can't say enough! I can't imagine how my day would have done without them. He was a nervous wreck and they completely put him at ease! I was able to relax and enjoy myself until I walked towards the man I'm spending the rest of my life with. Who wouldn't want that? I knew everything was taken care of and in the perfect hands with these lovely ladies. They are top-notch, their reputation second to none, and fun ladies to be around too! Don't hesitate! Shoot them an email. You won't be disappointed. Roxy

ed me create the wedding of my dreams. I absolutely loved my floral arrangements, they were absolutely gorgeous. Choosing Events by L for my florist and Month of Coordinator was the best decision I made for my wedding. My husband and I loved working with Laurie and Lisa. They kept me informed throughout the whole process and notified me about anything that needed my attention. The L’s hard work and dedication to making sure my wedding was absolutely perfect was definitely apparent. They were very meticulous and incredibly detailed with the design they had helped me create. Laurie, Lisa, and the Events by L team are genuinely good, caring, and hard-working. If you want a top-notch design team, florists, and coordinators to give you a wedding of your dreams, I highly recommend The L’s and their team at Events by L!

After getting engaged I knew I wanted a wedding planner. I met with a couple of planners but didn't get the right vibe. I saw a beautiful photo online and tracked down the planners...

. After checking out their website and amazing reviews I decided to email Events by L. We met with Laurie and Lisa and immediately fell in love! They were very enthusiastic, amazing and seemed to really love what they do. They immediately understood what we were after and directed us to all the right people. They delivered on their promises and everything was beautiful. They knew all the answers to my questions and when we had problems and confusion they took control and eased my worries like such pros! Our reception was like a dream. Their team worked tirelessly to give us the beautiful and fun wedding we always wanted. If I could do it all over again - I wouldn't change a thing - maybe have it longer! Thank you so much ladies! You are such gems and miracle workers! We had THE greatest time and everyone else at the wedding did too!!! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We (I) really couldn't have done it without you both! Love you! xox Jess

ng went off without a hitch. They took care of all the communication with my vendors, set up our ceremony and reception exactly as I had pictured it, and were overall just so easy and nice to work with. The value of their services is beyond anything I imagined and I am so thankful I was able to have them as a part of my wedding day. Thank you, Laurie and Lisa!!!!

hey helped to keep us organized with every detail. We thoroughly enjoyed the planning process because of them. When our wedding day finally came, everyone around me kept commenting on how calm I was. That's because I had full trust in Laurie, Lisa and their team to execute all of the details. Not only did they execute......they went above and beyond our expectations! We also used the L's for our florals. They turned out even better than we could have ever imagined! Events by L is worth every single penny and will make your planning and decor process so much easier. EVENTS BY L WAS THE BEST WEDDING DECISION WE MADE!! I will truly miss working with them.

Amy S

Events by L was recommended to me by my wedding venue, and once we met with them, it was very obvious why they were so highly recommended! She definitely knows her stuff and is an ...

amazing florist! They have been in this business for a long time and were able to help us stick to our budget by recommending ways to cut costs but still have a beautiful floral spread. Since they were so familiar with our venue, they also were familiar with the venue layout and the small details that mattered (e.g. the strong wind that is commonly present) and were able to recommend things to make our ceremony and reception look its best. They were responsive to all emails and was able to answer all the questions that I had. The day of the wedding, they delivered everything on time, and all the bouquets/boutonnieres/corsages were labeled. In addition, it was crazy hot that day, and they worked with the venue to ensure that our flowers would not sit out in the sun for hours before the wedding started. I would recommend Events by L for their amazing knowledge of all things floral and great service, for weddings or any other special events you are planning! ᐧ

s for our wedding after there were some problems with another wedding planner we had stupidly hired first. They were such a breath of fresh air - extremely organized and their attention to detail is amazing. They enabled me to have a FLAWLESS wedding thanks to their incredible experience and connections. I was very worried about my wedding running smoothly until they stepped in - I never had to think about anything else after they took over. Their vision and understanding of colors, flowers, beautiful details like painting gold menus to make the color pop better... the list goes on. Their team is well trained and they're all a true team - they work well together and are happy to be a part of your day. They turned my wedding day into a fairy tale that people are still talking about almost a year later! Laurie and Lisa also have excellent relationships with the other various vendors (linens, chair rentals, catering mgr, bakery, etc). This made everything extremely easy because the vendors had worked together before and had a level of familiarity. Not to mention how talented they are at floral design. The flowers were absolutely breathtaking! Don't waste your time and look elsewhere! You'll thank us later!

Carol M

Events by L did a fantastic job as our "Day Of" coordinators! I say "Day Of" very lightly, because they did a great deal of preparatory work prior to our wedding day. We met month...

s before and then I happily handed Laurie and Lisa the reigns a month before my big day. I will never forget the weight that was lifted off of me that day!!!!! Aside from that they did a great job helping us to select our wedding invitations at a fraction of the price that we anticipated it costing. I am still receiving compliments regarding our wedding invitations! They communicated thoroughly through my endless texts/e-mails and were so patient with my indecisiveness. They really went beyond what we hired them for and helped give me so many awesome suggestions I never would have thought of...and I scoured Pinterest day in and day out!! The L's and their entire team are so personable and worked very well with our vendors. They also had a great deal of connections that can help you make reputable vendor selections as well as help stretch your budget.:)) They also did the personal flowers for our wedding day and they were GORGEOUS!!! I received so many compliments on my bouquet as well as the bouquets that my bridesmaids carried. I was on a tight budget and DIY'd my decor or else they would have designed that too. Their work ia stunning!!!!!! We love the L's and if you can't tell by my review I can't say enough good things about them!!! Thanks ladies. See you at John's company picnic this year that you are planning!!!!!! You ladies are the best!

ch more! They helped us out with SO much during the planning process. We can't thank them enough. Among the many, many things they helped us with, they took so much time off of our plates putting together an awesome vendor team that was everything we had imagined and so much more. All of our vendors were top notch and we were able to actually relax in the months leading up to our big day thanks to the L's constantly checking in and keeping us on track. My husband and I still can't get over how zen I was on the day of! It really was the best day of my life thus far and I owe it to the kind, supportive, organized ladies of Events by L. We are going to miss the L's so much! We love you ladies!!! Can't wait to have another reason to work with you both! ;) Gretchen and Thomas

Katie D

Events by L is amazing! I can't express how grateful the groom and I were to have them around for our wedding day. The L's are great at what they do, very sweet and caring, and tru...

ly want to you have a magical day. Months before the wedding, they provided us with fantastic vendors from photographers to caterers, so we did not have to spend countless hours finding the right vendor for us. They worked with us to nail down the details for the wedding and made a timeline that would include all the things we wanted to do and have happened for that day. Fast forward to our actual wedding day. The whole team was very detail-oriented and attentive to what we needed. Their floral design was breathtaking! The day goes by so fast and you're so overwhelmed, but the team was there to make sure the whole day was taken care of, down to the small details. Like making sure my hair was out of my face for photos, providing us water so we were hydrated, fixing loose threads on my dress, etc. Everyone on the team went above and beyond our expectations. I've had some friends try to have weddings without a planner, and the brides spent the day stressed out about the small details. If you want to ENJOY your wedding day, and not worry and stress, then hire Events by L!

oing so with ease and always with a smile and a laugh. On the wedding day, they were everywhere, making sure things were running smoothly, getting people to their places, making sure we had food and drinks, and helping to pack everything up as the day unfolded. These ladies really went the extra mile for us and made us feel so much more relaxed as we prepared for our wedding. The day itself was perfect, and Laurie and Lisa are a big reason why. We would recommend them to anyone! Thank you gals so much for all that you did. We truly can't thank you enough and we hope you enjoyed the gift baskets! You deserve them and so much more!!! Becks

e are so grateful we found Events by L! The L's are absolutely professional, organized, have impeccable style, and truly care about your wedding -- they are the best in the business. They were always available during the planning process to answer any questions we had and offered their expert advice. They also made recommendations for vendors who delivered. Events by L truly executed our vision for our wedding day! Thank you, Laurie and Lisa!

endors. Laurie and Lisa put in a lot of thoughtful details in everything that they touched, from the way they worked with our vision to the timeline they laid out for us and our vendors. They made sure that we were well taken care of by ensuring that my husband and I were hydrated and eating throughout the day. I especially appreciated how they were able to avert our cake troubles when it was delivered to the wrong venue many many miles away. Events by L was like a breath of fresh calming air that helped to ease my undercover wedding jitters throughout the day...for that, I will always be thankful to Laurie, Lisa, and their staff. I know they say that the Bride sets the tone for the wedding...but I believe it's the Wedding Planner that puts the Bride at ease to set such a relaxed and very chill tone to the special day. Kevin and I can not thank you enough Laurie and Lisa...loved the way you took such great care of us!!

livered. It doesn’t get any more magical than marrying the perfect man at a beautiful venue, with family and friends present, and having everything absolutely perfect! Your time, experience and knowledge, decor suggestions and style as well as our awesome Bridal Assitant on the day of made our special day, that much more special. It’s hard enough thinking about planning a wedding while out of state a majority of the time for work, however, you made the whole process easy. Your communication, follow through, contacts, and vendors were amazing. The pictures and the memories make me choke up every time. Thank you for making our dreams come true!

Katie B

We hired Events by L as month-of planners for our wedding. They were very professional and definitely knew the business well. They were helpful in pointing some things out I had no...

t thought of (and I was pretty on top of things :) ) that needed coordinating. They took full charge in communicating with our other vendors, which we greatly appreciated. Our only critique (constructive!) is that they seem a little "mass production" and our relationship with them as planners did not feel as personal as I would have hoped. We received e-mails with checklists that did not match up with what we had already done that definitely were automated e-mails that they send to all of their clients. I felt better personal connections with the other vendors we hired who made me feel that we weren't just another event they had in their schedule. But that is my only critique. Overall we hardly saw them during the day which we were surprised by, but we understand their job is to try not to bother the bride and groom. I am sure a lot of the behind the scenes work turned out beautifully because of them. Events by L are a very upbeat and friendly team. You would not steer wrong in choosing them for planners.

K F

Events by L has blown away all my expectations, especially after having met with so many disappointing vendors. It's important to be 100% upfront with your budget. Small or large, ...

they will find a way to maximize what you give them to work with. They created the absolute most beautiful bouquets and decor for my wedding day. They took the existing beauty of my venue included my colors, added their vision and made it into my dream wedding. The Events by L team's kindness and care was extremely apparent throughout the entire set up with not one detail left out. Throughout the whole process, they were extremely quick and responsive to all communication. Their style and attention to every single detail cannot be matched by any other florist. L's what you created for me, I will never forget. If you are seeking a florist, I would look no further than Events by L!

and work with my vision. The bouquets were beautiful, they matched the colors and complimented the bridesmaids' dresses perfectly. My centerpieces were beautiful as well as my decor. I was so happy with everything! I look back on the photos and I am still impressed! I absolutely recommend Events by L for your wedding flowers and decor.

If you're thinking of hiring wedding planners, stop looking and hire the L's! And even if you don't think you need a wedding planner, you should still hire the L's! The best decisi...

on I made for the wedding, was hiring the L sisters. We hired them as a full-time planner, and they are amazing at what they do. They provided us with all the right tools to plan our big day, introduced us to some amazing vendors, and overall just gave me so much peace of mind. They also provided emotional support during those break-down moments, haha. Just a few examples of how amazing they are: (1) Our ushers were late to the venue. The L's took over the usher duties until they arrived, (2) After the ceremony we had to rush to get pictures and the L's had all our "pictures supplies" ready to go for us, (3) A day before the wedding, A DAY, we needed something to be added into the reception schedule at the last minute. The L's didn't even bat an eye and made it happen. Honestly I could go on for days for all the amazing things they did for us on all the days leading up to the wedding and day-of. If you hire these ladies, you will not regret it, and will know that you are in the best hands!

When beginning the wedding process, I did my due diligence. Not only did I hold phone interviews, I had second in-person interviews as well. I decided on the L's not because of pri...

ce, but because of their value in their ability to put my now husband and me at ease. They never pressured us in any way and were fun, outgoing and professional from the start. Since the beginning, their main focus was to make our ideal wedding come true no matter how elaborate our dreams may have been. The L's were so great to work with. They were quick at responding and went above and beyond to make us happy. I have always heard of how stressful planning a wedding can be. With Events by L, I never felt one ounce of stress. We put together a dream come true wedding with me being out of the country for most of the time for work. This wedding was more than what we could have imagined. We had an amazing DJ, String Quartet and various special moments.All timing was on schedule the entire time. I'm not sure if anything ever went wrong - if so, I never knew about it as everything was perfect and stress-free. I also feel it is important to point out that the L's worked hard and were successful to keep the wedding within budget. Even with it being so extravagant. The L's work very well with others. They did everything to keep my parents happy. I want everyone to hire them!!!

Hiring a professional Planner was Not our original plan, it turned out to be the best money we have ever spent!! We hired The L's of Events By L to be our wedding planners for the...

last 12 weeks of our event planning effort, and to be our day-of Coordinators. Working with the L's was a joy; they instantly put us at ease, were always professional with our vendors but were able to be firm when needed, and pulled it all together for us. From dealing with a last minute hair and makeup snafu, to handing us a glass of champagne the second I walked in the door of the reception, they were on top of it!! I cannot stress enough what a difference it made to have someone like The L's literally just take care of everything. Perhaps the best part of it was the fact that neither my friends nor family had to do anything the day of either ... I got just to relax and party with all my favorite people. I think that says it all. Thank you, L's! In the end, our wedding was truly beyond our wildest dreams.

Let me just say that Events By L and their team were absolutely amazing! We could not have imagined a more beautiful or more perfect wedding. Everything, I mean EVERYTHING was abso...

lutely perfect. The L's attention to detail and love for their work is truly remarkable. Our guests were absolutely blown away and they all remarked how wonderful our day was! This being a destination wedding for us, we really depended on the L's knowledge of the local area and preferred vendors. What was obvious to us was how highly regarded they are by the vendors in the area. They really know ther stuff! I'm still amazed at how flawlessly everything was executed. Also the vendors they helped us select were all fabulous. The venue, the flowers, catering, DJ, photographer, cake... they were all amazing and we would never have found them on our own. Thank you Events By L for making our dreams come true!

uestions from any of our amazing vendors that we had selected. They handled everything on the forefront and we were able to sit back and enjoy every moment of our perfect day. They created an amazing timeline that was easy for everyone to follow. We would certainly recommend their coordinating/planning services to anyone! Thank you again Laurie and Lisa - we appreciate all of your hard work and dedication to making our dream day become a reality!

To just say "Thank You" doesn't seem fitting enough to express how grateful we are for your relentless hard work to bring to life our dreams of a magical wedding. It was beyond wo...

rds. Your talents are immeasurable, but are executed with such love, professionalism, compassion and precision. Without your brilliant ideas, suggestions and hard work it could not have been possible. Your dedication, organizational skills, ideas and unwavering enthusiasm for our wedding was beyond measure. You were always available and willing to help out when needed and we never felt like we were "bugging" you with our endless list of questions. The L's are professional with personality and that personal touch that helped us feel comfortable every step of the way. It was easy for us to trust their expertise with the (what could have been) overwhelming details and logistics for our wedding day. Their attention to detail was beyond our already high expectations. This allowed us to enjoy the moments and be present on our wedding day, knowing that the L's had everything covered. Our wedding was beyond our imagination and we are so very thankful for your hard work. We could not have had such a beautiful event without you amazing ladies. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.f

I am so thankful for these two women who coordinated our big day! They thought of everything we would need, asked all the questions before we could even think of what to ask, and ...

most importantly made me feel comfortable as a bride. On our wedding day I was so nervous (for good reason), and they were there to comfort me through the process. Hiring these two for their skills will be a good decision as a bride, but hiring them for their grace, and positive outlook, ON TOP of how awesome they are will be a GREAT decision. Thank you gals for everything!
