If you are looking for the best wedding or event designers/producers on the planet, then stop your search right now because I promise you will find that in Laura J Events! Laura and her fantastic team designed and produced our wedding and they could not have done a more spectacular job! My husband and I recommend them wholeheartedly to plan your wedding and/or special event. My husband and I could not have made a better decision. At every turn, Laura and her team made the process fun, rewarding, and relaxing. She took the inspiration we gave her and turned it into an incredibly luxurious, beautiful, and fun weekend that was a joy for us and all of our guests! Throughout the process, Laura introduced us to an A-list group of vendors who made the event planning a breeze. She and her team turned our inspiration into a reality that FAR exceeded expectations, and we truly had the wedding weekend of our dreams! She also respected our budget throughout the process, which was so appreciated.  Most importantly, Laura and her team became valued friends throughout the process. For example, she and her team found creative and beautiful ways to honor the spirit of my late mother throughout the wedding weekend. We truly connected and she understood how much my mom means to be, and that was reflected in such moving and tasteful ways at our wedding. Laura J Events is the best  wedding design and production team in Coachella Valley (and quite frankly, anywhere!). We can't recommend them highly enough to plan and produce your special day! 

Wonderful, Marvelous, Fabulous, Epic...Thank you so much Laura and your team for making this the wedding of Katie and David Dreams. Your attention to detail and seeing the vision that Katie and David had was overwhelming, the vendors you referred us to were the best and the venue couldn't have been any better, your emotional support was very much appreciated. To sum it up.....we hit the jackpot when we brought you into the mix and we think of you as family. We will definitely keep in touch with you and fill you in on every event that happens in Katie and David's life. You are without a doubt the best of the best and we love you for all you have done :) 

True professionals, amazing team The whole planning process and our wedding day was a dream come true thanks to Laura and her crew. This team genuinely cares about their clients and takes care to learn your vibe to execute YOUR vision as you’ve been dreaming of. We were able to work off of their thoughtfully curated list of wonderful, talented vendors to pull our wedding day together. Laura is a problem solver, and works to navigate speed bumps leading up to, or on the day of. She will support you through and through with great advice, emotional support, planning strategy and is just a great person to bounce ideas off of as she’s so passionate and respectful of your wishes. She is at least in step, if not two steps ahead of you already on any concerns or ideas you may be sitting on (There were multiple “I was thinking about that too, and my thought is...” during planning). Laura is your champion; you want her in your corner. My only regret is that we have not achieved cloning, so there’s just one of her… but thankfully the entire team is wonderful as well! 

I don't even know where to start. Laura J Events was money well spent. Laura and her staff went above and beyond what we hired them to do. In our initial meeting, Laura said that she would give more than 100%. This wasn't a sales pitch. She was being honest and we couldn't be happier. Laura displayed her integrity with us over and over again. There were times when things (that were out of Laura's control) were not working out the way we wanted them to work out. Laura handled every situation professionally. Her level-headed responses could calm any groom (or bride) to be. And I can't forget the best part: remember those problems that were out of her control and above her pay grade to fix? She would always come back having fixed them anyway, just because that's the kind of service that she offers. If you're looking for a hard working, honest, problem solver that makes it look easy, Laura is the person for you! 

"Dollar for dollar the best money we spent on our wedding!" That was the exact quote from my husband the day after our wedding regarding hiring Laura Kelly. It took me a while to convince my husband we even needed to hire a planner, so I knew he was beyond impressed. I interviewed several other companies and there was no comparison to Laura J  Events. Laura is responsive, knowledgeable, experienced, and charming.

Laura is so much more than a planner At times she was a counselor, at times an artist, at one point a seamstress, often a guardian angel, and several times a magician. Laura's ability to remain sweet while being firm, incredibly fun while taking care of business, and remarkably calm during the most hectic of times is amazing. I was able to relax and enjoy the events leading up to the wedding and the wedding day itself because of Laura. I knew she had everything under control and she proved me right! I can't thank her enough for the time, effort and thoughtfulness she gave to me. I hit the jackpot finding Laura (and my husband agrees!).

Laura and her team were such an integral and intimate part of our special day that it feels a little weird to write a "review" for her. But in the interest of sharing with the world how wonderful she is and why you should jump at the chance of working with her, here goes: If you care enough to be looking for a wedding planner, chances are your wedding is extremely important to you. With your loved ones gathered on a day full of little moments you want to remember for the rest of your life, you need to have someone who is seasoned and who you can fully place your trust in. Laura is that friend who always has your best interest at heart, who will relentlessly fight on your behalf, and who is not afraid to be honest with you when her experience tells her that something you planned may not play out as you had hoped. In planning a wedding, you will be dealing with lots of vendors, contracts, and delicate coordination. If you are not a professional event planner, it can get a bit overwhelming juggling it all. Laura has impeccable taste, and her design background shows when she is creating your vision. Putting things in terms of dollars cheapens how highly we think of Laura and her team. But if that's what matters to you, the savings that Laura can get you - through her list of vendors and her negotiating skills - alone is worth what you would be paying her. The true value in working with her comes from having someone with so much heart and so dedicated in channeling all of her expertise in making the day special for you. Thank you Laura, for all of your hard work. You put up with our many weird requests, you took it all in and still were able to make our wedding an amazing and memorable day for us and our guests
