“Laura Olsen Events is amazing. Meetings with Laura leading up to our wedding day were so helpful, she is super organized, detail oriented, a wedding planner extraordinaire and the nicest person you might ever meet. The electronic planning tools she provided were also super helpful. Laura helped us get ready for the big day and attended our rehearsal. Our wedding day was was provided by two members of the Laura Olsen Team; Kim and Lori. I cannot say enough great things about these two ladies; your help and support was so very appreciated, our wedding day was perfect.”
“I met Laura through the wedding industry as I am a florist. I knew instantly she’d be the right day of coordinator for me. Laura is extremely professional, super friendly, organized and pays attention to all the small details. I knew right away that I would not have to worry about anything and she took care of every single detail and aspect there was towards our wedding. We cannot thank her and Lori enough for everything they have done. Thank you both a thousand times!”
