Andre and I are overwhelmed with gratitude for all you did to make our wedding day so unbelievably beautiful, special and well executed. Last year was a whirlwind for me as it was my first year of teaching. Yet, I was reluctant to hire a planner at first. It was never something I had planned on doing, but it was one of the best things I could have done for so many reasons...mostly for my sanity. Not only did I not have much time to invest in the process, but I was also at a complete loss for where to start with choosing vendors and choosing and buying decorations. Knowing that I had L&M in my corner meant that nothing would go forgotten and nothing would be overlooked. Also, they both had so many creative, thrifty ideas, and their warm personalities put me to ease. With them both working their buns off for us the day of the wedding, we (and our families and friends) could actually enjoy the day without worrying, stressing and fighting over decorating and logistics (as I've seen happen with other weddings). Everything ran so smoothly, and our guests loved all the attention to detail! I will miss working with L&M and talking to them regularly. ~Catherine Tsai
Lorrie and Melissa are angels!! I hired them for my wedding this April and they did a fantastic job!! Every little detail was flawless. My bridal party actually thought I had twice as many coordinators because they really were everywhere whenever I needed them! They are some of the nicest, hardest working, humble, women I have ever met! I cant imagine not having these ladies on my big day! A groomsmen of ours actually ripped his sports coat on the way to the church, and these ladies had the problem solved before anyone (including me!) ever even noticed! They are very reasonably priced and my only regret is not hiring them even sooner! Do yourself a favor, enjoy your wedding stress free and let these ladies handle all the details!! ~Emily Gimmel Mitchell; founder Graceship
I cannot express how grateful I am that we decided to hire Lorrie and Melissa to plan our wedding. I literally could not have done it without them! Our wedding was in Lexington but we live in DC so we had to completely rely on them to do everything. They found out exactly what we were looking for then did the research to find the best deals and options and then presented us with a consolidated list of options. For instance, they went to 10+ venues for us, took pictures, and put together a list of the pros and cons of each. We chose our venue without ever seeing it in person and once we finally saw it was exactly what we were looking for! They weren't only our wedding planners, they were our florist, caterer (Lorrie's husband's business), decorators, craftsmen, and liaison for absolutely everyone! They booked every single vendor and remained in contact with them the entire time so that I didn't have to deal with the back and forth communication of answering questions etc. They were available at all hours of the day and were always so happy to help with anything that I needed. They went way ABOVE AND BEYOND for what anyone would expect their wedding planner to do. They set up our entire venue (I never even saw what it looked like before I got there for the ceremony). Maybe most importantly in this review, they 100% paid themselves off in the amount of savings. They have so much experience working with vendors that they're able to work out deals and get better prices than I could have even imagined if I were to set it up. They also allow you to use they're huge inventory of wedding decorations (because no one wants to buy 10 centerpieces that you can never use again). I can honestly say my wedding day was completely stress-free because of them. I didn't have to do or worry about anything because I knew they had it taken care of. If I could give advice to any new bride it would be to get a wedding planner, no matter who it is,but I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND L&M to be yours. ~Kristin Horne
