  From the very first time I met Lauren and Jamie from Lauren James Events, I knew that they would be the perfect fit for our wedding day. They were professional, extremely responsive and overall a pleasure to work with. Throughout the entire wedding process, I worked with Lauren, and she could not have been more helpful. She was so well organized that I literally had nothing to worry about, and when I did start to worry about certain things coming together, she assured me that everything would be perfect...and IT WAS! Even with a unexpected last minute change a few days before our wedding, she did not even bat an eye, handled the situation flawlessly and without any hesitation. On the day of the wedding, Lauren was AMAZING! She was there for me and my now husband and made sure everything we discussed leading up to that day was taken care of. My vision came to life so much because of her and her exceptional communication skills with so many of my vendors. I am beyond grateful for Lauren James Events and could not have imagined our day without them!

  Our experience planning our wedding with Jamie and Lauren was phenomenal. These ladies truly care about their clients' special day, and do everything in their power to ensure that every detail is carefully tended to at each step in the planning process! My husband and I were planning our wedding during a particularly busy and stressful year in our lives, and Jamie and Lauren turned an otherwise daunting task into an exceptionally organized, smooth and enjoyable journey. Jamie and Lauren have a solid understanding of the wedding industry in Philly and the surrounding area, and had a wealth of knowledge about local vendors to share in order to put together the perfect wedding team for us. Now that the event is over, we miss communicating with them every day! Their professionalism is unwavering, yet they have a natural ability to connect with clients in a way that enabled them to anticipate my thoughts and requests, and many times took care of things well before I even thought to ask them to do so - they really have a knack for understanding a bride and groom's style and expectations, and they will go above and beyond in bringing to life your vision for your wedding!

  My daughter was married March 11, 2017, at the Kimmel Center in Philadelphia, and we contracted with Lauren James events for our event planners. My contact was Jamie, and I cannot begin to tell you how invaluable she was to us. I have never met anyone who attended to detail so efficiently. Every deadline that needed to be met was managed by her, and she was incredibly pleasant and good humored throughout the process. There was never a moment when she appeared rushed, and she had a way of making you feel as if you were her only client, even though that is far from the truth. Her professionalism, class, and generosity of spirit were indispensable to us, and despite the inevitable tensions along the road, she remained calm and measured herself. She even delivered a wheelchair to the Double Tree for my elderly mother, after we discovered we needed another one at the last moment. She was our anchor, organizer, and confidant throughout the months leading to the wedding, and I can honestly say, that I will miss speaking to her. The night of the wedding, we had her partner, Lauren with us, and she was a godsend as well. Please don't hesitate to hire these skilled young women. I cannot praise them enough, and I would recommend them to anyone looking for exemplary assistance during what can be a stressful process. They are absolutely superb.

  Lauren James Events lived up to every expectation and beyond. They made the wedding planning process a breeze, paying attention to every detail so that the day of the wedding was completely dedicated to having fun and enjoying every moment. Leading up to the event they were well prepared, highly organized, tuned into our vision, flexible with meeting times and locations which was a must given my and my grooms busy schedules, diplomatic with parents and helpful with finding vendors and services that fit into our budget. We had a quick turnaround time between getting engaged and our wedding date and Lauren James Events made sure we kept on pace to have everything come together in time. Since they have many years of experience with wedding planning in the Philadelphia area, they are extremely knowledgable about the different vendors in the area and already had great relationships with the hotel we used, our photographer and venue, and suggested hair and makeup artists that were affordable and also extremely talented. They were well versed in the modern etiquette of wedding planning, everything from how to address escort cards to how many people to sit at a table. I never felt rushed or uncomfortable, they are extremely responsive to emails and phone calls, and the day of the wedding went so smoothly and effortlessly. They made sure we kept on pace so that everyone was where they needed to be when they needed to be there, they organized babysitting services for my niece, sewed on my dad's tuxedo button when it fell off, and never bothered me with unnecessary details. I highly recommend them, not just for their professional services but also for their personal touches and the warmth they bring to wedding planning.
