Lauren is an absolute gem to work with. Her priority is making the Bride and Groom feel as special as possible and ensure they have the best day. She provides valuable and honest feedback and suggestions that helped us make decisions on the little details. Her communication is responsive and professional and she is a great wedding coordinator, I couldn’t imagine having our wedding day without her organization. Swan lake is also the perfect, secluded spot to host an intimate wedding. There are so many spots to get unique and memorable pictures. I could not recommend this venue or Lauren’s assistance enough. 10/10 experience!

We had the most perfect wedding planning process and wedding day and we have Lauren to thank for so much!!! Here are a few key qualities about Lauren that contributed to the execution of our wonderful day; professional, organized, kind, knowledgeable, communicative, genuine, attentive, assertive in the most compassionate way, understanding, clear and concise, generous, warm and inviting, did I say knowledgeable, creative, intentional, helpful, dedicated, invested, funny, consistent, kind hearted, patient. I can quite literally go on forever. Lauren is a dream, we feel so blessed to have had her guidance, support and impeccable execution. Lauren’s creative eye completely superseded the vision in my head of how the decor would be placed. I felt like omg whose wedding is this, this is so beautiful! She is so attentive to detail with just about everything. Those little touches in the decor placement, the timeline she created with us, the execution of intentional parking to make sure my (the bride’s) arrival was seamless. Did I mention it was literally a tropical storm on our wedding day and Lauren managed to keep me completely dry while getting me from the car to inside. It brings tears to my eyes just thinking about how intentional and invested she was in our planning process and on our special day. Lauren does it all! She made sure we ate, she made sure the time was spent on the things we said we really wanted to enjoy, she made sure no mishaps were brought to my husband and I’s attention so that we could just enjoy our day. She recommended vendors and decor do’s and dont’s. Her rain plan was executed seamlessly, so much so I couldn’t even imagine having our day go any other way! I could go on forever with everything Lauren did for us that made our day so perfect. If it weren’t for Lauren’s calm reassurance, I would have been a mess waking up on wedding morning and literally seeing a rain storm outside. Instead, we had the most peaceful morning and we embraced the rain because Lauren kept it all together. She is superwoman!

Lauren was absolutely amazing from start to finish! Our wedding was truly incredible and was better than we dreamed of all thanks to Lauren. She was always prompt, kind, caring, and thorough. On the day of our event, she went above and beyond! She was always there when I needed her, she anticipated all of our needs, set up all of our decor beautifully, and offered kind words and moral support. She worked impressively quickly by herself setting up, rearranging, and breaking down the space. Her attention to detail is impeccable. I have nothing but phenomenal things to say. The venue is absolutely beautiful and made for stunning photographs. I would highly recommend! Words cannot express how thankful I am for Lauren making our wedding day a dream come true!

I can not say enough about Lauren. She is absolutely amazing! I couldn't ask for a better wedding planner and day of
coordinator. She set up everything so beautifully! She was there for anything I needed. If I had questions she answered them promptly, She made our wedding day stress free, She not only helped us, she helped everyone at out wedding and made sure everyone was comfortable and checked to see if they needed anything. She even gave our flower dog some water. She is the Best!

Where do I begin. I'm so thankful for Lauren, At Last Events for making this day so incredible. My husband and I are highschool sweethearts and we wanted our wedding to reflect who we are and our relationship: fun, adventurous, loving and loving our friends and family. Lauren understood us completely. From our first meeting she helped us visualize what we wanted, made the best recommendations for vendors, and made the day of go perfectly. She even took care of the set up and put everything together exactly how I wanted. My guests all still tell us how much fun our wedding was, how much they liked the venue and the catering and how awesome it all was. And it was all possible thanks to Lauren. Thank you times 1000!

Having Lauren as your day of coordinator is like just inviting a favorite cousin to your wedding. Lauren gets things moved around like a ghost one minute all the chairs are outside and the next minute she’s with me organizing my wedding group for the photographer and all the tables inside are ready for dinner. She made everything seamless and stress free the week leading up to the wedding and the day of the best day ever. I can promise you she will do the same for you. Lauren is amazing and practically family now

If you're looking for a wedding planner and day of coordinator, look no further. Lauren at At Last Events helped make our wedding stress-free, stunningly beautiful, and the day of our dreams! Choosing At Last Events was hands down the best and most valuable vendor/service we could have hired....Lauren was there throughout the entire planning process beginning with providing a list of recommended vendors who she's established a relationship with and can highly recommend...making the planning process super easy from the get go. She then coordinated with all of our chosen vendors and made sure everything was exactly how we wanted it. We appreciated her organization so we could stay on track with all the moving parts the whole year in advance. Lauren was so lovely to work with often answering my questions and concerns all hours of the day. She took the time to meet with me on multiple occasions at the venue, Swan Lake, and was gracious with me even as I changed the floor plan and ceremony details many times including right up until the big day. Lauren and her wonderful assistant Kaitlyn helped my bridal party and I set up the venue the day before the wedding and they provided their own beautiful decor (which was another outstanding value of using At Last Events). By the time the wedding came around I felt like I was working with a friend. Lauren, thank you so much for everything...we wish you nothing but the best with all of your beautiful weddings. Your hard work does not go unnoticed or under appreciated...you're amazing!

Lauren is the exclusive wedding planner for Swan Lake Resort in Galloway, NJ. First and foremost, Lauren and her sister Kaitlyn are absolute ANGELS! From pre-wedding coordination with our vendors to decorating to event coordination and everything in between, the two of them are an absolute dream team. I dropped off all of my decor the day before and spoke with Lauren about our vision and they made it come to life. It was everything I ever dreamed of for my simple, romantic wedding. We received COUNTLESS compliments on how absolutely gorgeous the setting was and everyone wanted to know how we found such a hidden gem. It was the most beautiful setting and happiest experience we could’ve ever asked for. Also, SO MUCH was included in the cost - arbor, silk florals for the arbor and chairs, lanterns, linens, tables, cross back chairs, long stem floating candle holders, votive candles, etc. It was truly a STEAL for this experience. Lauren also handled everything seamlessly during the whole event - my husband and I were able to really relax, let loose and enjoy the evening. Lauren communicated with all of our vendors, kept us on track with our timeline, and our wedding was absolutely perfect.

Without a doubt, Lauren made our special day better than we could have imagine and we can’t thank her enough for how she handled everything. My husband and I, were very stressed in the beginning of planning. We didn’t have the slightest idea on where to start and what to do but Lauren always pointed us in the right direction and put us at ease. There isn’t one thing I would change about our special day. It was magical and our families still rave about the coordinators and how they worked so tirelessly and had a handle of everything but we’re still flexible if we decided on last minute changes. I would absolutely recommend Lauren and her team for your future events. She makes her expectations clear and is very genuine. Thanks again Lauren.

Amazing wedding planner and team
We were initially not planning on a wedding until pandemic restrictions were starting to lift off. We decided 4 months prior to the wedding date that we wanted to get married and was looking for a wedding planner who would be flexible and experienced. Lauren was the best wedding planner we could have asked for. After our initial conversations and meetings at the Swan Lake, it wasn't a hard decision to ask for her help. She was very flexible with our increasing number of wedding guests as restrictions were lifting off. Also, she came with a great list of vendors who were experienced, competitive in pricing, knew exactly what to expect, and accommodating. They have also worked with Lauren before, so I didn't have to really do many of the coordinating. Lauren gave us questionnaires and list of things to consider, which were extremely helpful in planning the perfect day. She frequently checked in with me, gave me A to Z planning guidelines, and even decorated the reception area just so perfectly. I couldn't have asked for a better planner. Frankly, I was stressed out with the planning with other work and life events happening simultaneously, and I don't know if I could have done without Lauren's help. My friends have already asked me how I did it, and I just shared Lauren's contact information. It was such a beautiful and unforgettable day, and I thank Lauren for all her help.

The Best Planning Decision I Made
Lauren was absolutely amazing! I cannot say enough great things about her or her company. She was with me when I started planning in 2020 all the way through and during the wedding. We had a rather large backyard wedding and I would not have been able to organize it without her! She gave me ideas for vendors. Came onsite multiple times. She helped us bring our vision to life. She always got back to me quickly and she is friendly and great to work with. She made the timeline for me and helped us rehearse and kept everything on track the day of. She did the decorations even includes some of her own and everything was gorgeous! I know without a doubt she did not charge me enough. I know I could not have done it without her and I am forever grateful for all she did to make our day the most perfect day in both of our lives! I recommend her to anyone that has never planned a wedding before. It is much more involved then I could have ever imagined and having her allowed me to just enjoy my wedding day while I got ready with the girls and she handled everything else! Thank you At Last Events!!

A absolute MUST when planning the wedding of your dreams!
Anyone that knows me, knows that I can get extremely overwhelmed easily. As much as I was over the moon excited to be getting married and planning a wedding, I was also nervous and dreading the stress that comes along with the planning. My mom and I met Lauren at The Merion's wedding show and instantly were interested in working with Lauren and her team. We knew we were going to feel better having someone to guide us through the process and to have extra hands along the way and on the day of my wedding. It was the BEST decision we made and her knowledge and professionalism exceeded our expectations!
Lauren was available at literally all stages of the planning process; from the brainstorming at the very beginning, décor inspiration, day-of scheduling, and everything in between. My mom and I sat on many phone calls with Lauren leading up to the big day and she would always make herself available for us whenever we needed to ask her opinion or talk through some ideas with her. Lauren and her team are extremely professional, down to earth, and take their job very seriously.
A few weeks leading up to the wedding day, Lauren took care of everything and made sure to make me feel as unstressed as a bride could possibly feel. Every text sent to Lauren was answered quickly and she was there for me at any hour to answer any question that my mom and I had. I honestly don't even know where to begin when talking about the day of the wedding! Lauren was the eyes and ears and director of every aspect of the wedding day and I did not have anything to do but literally enjoy my day. I can safely say that our wedding day wouldn't be what it was if it weren't for Lauren.
What stuck with me is how Lauren mentioned that after the wedding, it is not goodbye; that she treats all of her clients like family. I can see that whole- heartily and do feel as if I've gained a friend through this process. I will continue to touch base with Lauren and share with her all of the milestones that my husband and I will share.
If you are planning a wedding, Lauren and her team are a MUST. My wedding day was exactly how I had envisioned it and Lauren and her team made that possible from start to finish.

Lauren is absolutely incredible. We planned a micro-wedding in about a month and we would have never been able to pull it off without her. Everything looked absolutely gorgeous and every small detail was perfect. We couldn’t recommend her enough!! If you’re thinking about booking a wedding coordinator. Lauren truly will make sure your day is everything you dreamed.

Lauren was the guiding light I didn’t know I needed!!!
WOW where do I even begin?? I met Lauren during my wedding planning pre-covid. Right from the start I knew I wanted her on my team. She was organized, consistent, precise, and listened to ALL of my visions/ideas and assured me she could help bring them to life. She did exactly that, AND some!!! She frequently sent me links to sites when décor I was looking at went on sale. She sent me plenty of inspo pics. Attended all of my meetings with me. Suggested awesome vendors. She even helped me adjust when Covid came knocking. Lauren adjusted quicker than I did. She stayed on top of all of my vendors to ensure nothing fell through the cracks, she kept me informed on state regulations as they were posted, and most of all she picked up the phone and genuinely listened when I was on the verge of crying. After all of that, we made it to our wedding day!!! Lauren was there from start to finish, knew exactly how I wanted all of my décor placed, Helped with break down, Even helped me with my dress when I was experiencing a wardrobe malfunction. She was more prepared than I was with tape, bobby pins, and brushes. A true angel. Lauren by far exceeded my expectations and was everything a bride could have hoped for on her big day. I knew I didn’t have to worry about anything because Lauren, and all of her suggested vendors, were there to take care of me the whole way through!!! If you’re thinking about a wedding planner, please do it. I promise you Lauren will not fail to impress you right from the start and she is worth anything to have on your team as well!

Great people, great experience!
At Last Event Events did a great job helping my wife and I plan and execute our backyard wedding. Their team was amazing and felt like part of the family. The wedding was executed beautifully. Lauren and her team provide great value, tremendous service, and they're kind and amazing people. We cannot recommend their services enough!

Lauren was so helpful with planning our wedding, especially given the unpredictability and chaos of trying to get married in 2020. She is professional and very organized. She will go above and beyond to find compatible vendors and help you adapt to any changes that come your way. She and her husband were so on top of it day-of, allowing me and my now-husband to fully enjoy the day. She provided the arbor for our ceremony which was absolutely perfect and she handled everything with a smile!

At Last Events was nothing short of amazing!!
Our venue wedding was cancelled due to Covid and Lauren and her team stepped right in to make our backyard dream wedding happen. They are so organized and really focused on what we wanted for our day. Lauren was even so amazing and stepped in serving food the day of our wedding just to make things run smoother. All of my guests complimented her and her team and said they were truly professionals. Thanks for making our special day the best!!!!!

At Last Events was amazing, thorough, and the calm within the storm while getting us through my daughter's wedding. Truly, since the event/venue had to be completely changed, At Last Events helped us turn our backyard into a wedding dream come true. It really could not have been better anywhere else. They made the arrangements for the tent, tables, chairs, dance floor, linens and lights. They coordinated with all of our vendors and helped execute the timing of the entire event. They took away the anxiety of this detail obsessed momma and turned it into one of the best days of my life and have the pictures to prove it. Just ask!

Lauren and her team were absolutely spectacular. She made the whole process so much easier and that is saying a lot since we had to basically replan an entire backyard wedding in 45 days. She was more than just a planner she was a friend to me during this process. From creating a timeline that all the vendors loved, to being a liaison for all vendors and bridal party members, to setting up beautiful spaces on the day of, Lauren and her team hit it out of the park. Hiring them was the best decision ever. My wedding was beautiful and ran smoothly because of her expertise.
