Wedding & Event Planner
About LAURA
As a natural encourager and communicator (aka your biggest cheerleader and favorite coach), I enjoy every step of the planning process with you, learning your vision and preferences, listening carefully to your ideas and making sure they unfold in a beautiful, purposeful and enjoyable celebration. Life’s moments are meant to be experienced fully and celebrated well! Call on me to handle the planning so you can be truly present for the big event you’ve been looking forward to.
Some of the most rewarding times in my life are the special occasions I have planned, directed, decorated, served and spoken at: weddings, corporate events, bridal showers, birthday parties, and weekend retreats. I leverage that experience and bring my best to work for you and your family, friends and coworkers. It’s my goal to let your lights shine throughout your special day. In fact, each group gathering has a personality of its own, and showcasing that uniqueness is what makes the moment a memory for life!

notes from my clients
bride
“Thank you a million times over for everything you did to make this weekend happen! You were a dream and an absolutely delightful director!! I’ll never know the countless hours you put into making our day so very special but I’ll always be ever so grateful. Your cheerful disposition made the day shine even more brightly for us, and my fave memories were you praying for us before the ceremony started and the pic you snapped of the guys before they walked out. Keep up the awesome work. YOU ARE A GIFT!” – Kate Jackson, Bride

“Laura didn’t just decorate our event space the way she wanted, she asked us questions and listened to what was important to us, took our ideas and put her touches on them, transforming the vision into a beautiful reality. She was professional and customer focused and wasn’t happy until everything was just how we wanted. She was always on time and delivered everything she promised. She was also very welcoming and engaging with our guests. We would definitely recommend Laura for any event, big or small.”
