I truly cannot say enough great things about my experience working with Jamie! From the first meeting to our last she was so organized, on top of everything, easy going, a great communicator, always available, and knew all the ins and out of weddings / vendors. What was really awesome was how much she was able to listen to what I was looking for, understand and appreciate my vision and priorities, and helped to make that vision come alive. She was always able to help advocate for what I was looking for. Her extensive knowledge of everything and anything weddings was so helpful when it came to making decisions, whether big or small. She made everything so easy and enjoyable. She thought of literally everything to make sure the day was absolutely perfect. My wedding was the BEST day ever and was everything I hoped and dreamed it would be. There is no doubt this is thanks to Jamie and LJ events. Jamie was the true MVP of the entire wedding process and I cannot imagine pulling any of this off without her. I cannot overstate the value of having them help plan your wedding. They are the BEST. -Dana + Bryan Lembo
Jamie helped make our day so easy. She was organized, attentive, responsive and so easy to work with. She thought of things I never would've and made sure our day was perfect. Jamie got along so well with our entire wedding Party they felt at ease throughout the entire day. I cannot recommend her and her team enough. -Erin + CJ Horning
I can say, with 100% that our wedding would NOT have gone as smoothly as it did if we didn't have Jamie. She was absolutely AMAZING. I am beyond grateful for what she did for us and am here to tell you that you need to book her. At first we were up in the air about booking a day of coordinator, and oh my god am I glad that we did. She was incredible with managing our large (22 people) wedding party, as well as our large family. She was so kind, caring, and thoughtful. There was no detail that she missed, and made sure the entire day went perfectly. If you are not sure if it is worth it, I promise you it is. For all the money you spend on everything else for your wedding day, a day of coordinator should be at the top of your list. -Kat + Rob Kelly
Our wedding day would not have been possible without Lauren James Events, specifically Jamie. Jamie met with us multiple times before the wedding to discuss how the whole day would plan out, and provided suggestions and support when figuring out all of the vendor coordination for our special day. She was always very responsive over emails and helped keep us organized with her amazing checklist, photo list, and day-of timeline. Jamie also accompanied us to all of our photo locations, and along with her assistant Jenna, helped keep us warm by carrying my blanket and hand warmers, ready to hand them to me at a moment's notice! Thank you for all of your amazing support during our wedding day! -Nathalie + Andrew Berman
Working with Lauren and Jamie throughout the planning process was amazing. They helped us work through postponing our wedding from 2020 to 2021 as well as helping me find new vendors when needed and made the transition seamless. Our wedding day was stress-free thanks to Lauren and team being there. She kept everything organized and made sure everyone was where they were supposed to be for photos, toasts, etc. I cannot say enough about how awesome they are! I highly recommend booking LJ Events for your wedding! -Kyle + Alex Beir
All I can say is that I was a clueless father of the bride who didn’t see why we needed a wedding planner! The irony is that by the end of the wedding, thinking about what would have happened without her had anyone listened to me is truly frightening for me (and perhaps would have been the end of my own marriage!). Imagine someone who is always two steps ahead of you and planning for eight steps ahead and you have Lauren. She always knew what to do to make my life (and everyone else’s) easier. From little things like offering to pick up party favors the day before the wedding because she knew I was underestimating how busy I was to making sure that my parents were well taken care of, Lauren and her team were spectacular saver. Without a doubt the best spent money of the entire wedding! -David Rosenbaum
We had an amazing group of vendors, but without a doubt Jamie was the All Star! We are one of those covid couples who had a micro wedding on our original date and postponed our celebration. Planning a backyard wedding for 20 people during a pandemic proved stressful and we realized we needed a professional planner for our big celebration. Honestly, my biggest regret is not hiring LJ Events sooner. Jamie was a pleasure to work with. She is professional, personal, highly responsive, and her organizational skills are out of this world. She guided us through the planning process and helped ensure every detail was cared for. Our big day was better than we had imagined. The day was smooth and progressed effortlessly thanks to Jamie and her team. Even when our “something will go wrong” happened, which was learning 1.5 hours before portraits that my husband forgot to pack his suit pants, Jamie and her team helped us quickly solve the issue. We are so grateful to have worked with LJ Events and cannot recommend them enough!!! -Nicole + Sean Barkey
I cannot recommend Lauren James Events enough, they are absolutely amazing. There are not enough adjectives or terms of endearment to express how truly amazing and helpful Lauren and her team was throughout the entire wedding planning process, especially on our big day. Unfortunately, due to Covid we had to not only move our wedding date a few times, but also our venue, and Lauren stayed on top of everything the entire time. Without her, I truly do not think we would have been able to successfully celebrate our special day. She made sure everything was perfect and that our big day went smoothly. If you are having a wedding and hiring a planner, you’d be wise to go with LJ Events! They are worth every penny and more! -Alexandra + Jeff Reuben
The best decision my husband and I made throughout the entire wedding planning process was hiring LJ Events as our full service wedding planner. From the start Jamie was incredibly helpful and diligent in contacting all of the venues and vendors we were interested in. With her knowledge and expertise in the industry we were able to seamlessly plan our May 2020 wedding. As it would turn out that wedding did not happen due to Covid and Jamie, without hesitation, went on to help us replan our wedding 3 more times with multiple venue changes. With her impressive coordination and communication skills we were able to secure almost all of our vendors for our new date(s) and venue(s). We can’t thank her enough for her invaluable advice and guidance during that time of immense uncertainty. We cannot thank Jamie enough for all of the hard work she put in over the 2.5 years that we were lucky enough to work with her. We truly consider Jamie a friend and would recommend her and LJ Events to anyone without hesitation! -Allison + Bobby Frederico
We just completed our 3rd/4th/5th wedding with LJ as the third one was rescheduled three times. Each time we were delayed LJ stayed with us to plan/reschedule like it was the first time. We now have had three Wonderful weddings, none of which would have been possible without LJ with us every step of the way. Our highest recommendation doesn't do justice to the job they do to plan and ensure your wedding event is perfect. Their attention to detail is second to none, which took all the of worrying of planning our special event off of us and onto LJ who knows exactly what to suggest, what's really needed and what's not. Thanks to LJ we were able to enjoy our events as much as planning them. They are just the best. -Peter Kleiner
Lauren helped bring my elegant outdoor wedding vision to life!! She was incredibly helpful in coordinating all the vendors and providing advice and insight. She was constantly in communication and helped us tackle unforeseen changes related to the pandemic, rain, and record breaking cold temperatures to ensure all our guests were safe, comfortable, and having fun. Do yourself a favor and hire LJ Events, you won’t regret it!! -Emily + Eric Fox
My husband and I worked with Lauren to plan our April 2021 wedding and she was absolutely wonderful. We were originally scheduled for May 2020 and pushed back due to Covid. We would have not been able to so without her. My entire family was genuinely able to enjoy the weekend's events because we knew Lauren had everything handled. We had an absolute blast and our stress level was 0. My family and bridal party raved about how incredibly professional, sweet and organized Lauren and her team were the entire weekend. Hiring Lauren and Jamie for your wedding is the easiest choice you will make in this entire process. -Allyson + Chris Burns
Jamie from LJ Events was a godsend to us! A total professional in every way who really knows her business. My daughter and I would recommend her and LJ Events to anyone! Jamie worked with us for almost 2 years (through the pandemic) and was a constant voice of reason and the best advice-giver throughout the entire journey. And on the actual wedding day, she was on top of every detail and worked tirelessly from early that morning, until the very last person (which was us) left the venue. She was most certainly the MVP of the day! LJ Events is the A Team of Wedding Planners without question! -Cathy Makoid
Stop reading and trust that LJ events is exactly what you need. I was lucky enough to be referred to them by a friend of a friend who said "YOU MUST HIRE HER!" and I fully agree. Jamie from LJ events helped me and my husband pull off the impossible by planning a full 70 person wedding in just under 5 weeks weeks. They helped plan and execute every single detail from vendor recommendations, design, timeline, and about 1,000,000 other logistics that went into this - all while being completely calm, in control, and overall just freaking on top of it. The day of she and her team executed flawlessly. People are still raving about the wedding and the amount of detail that went into it. Wouldn't have been possible without Jamie. Forever grateful. -Julia + Allen Chachkes
This team is the best! We worked with Jamie - she is top-notch! Extremely well organized, highly responsive, detailed and very in touch with what we wanted. She helped bring my daughter's vision of her wedding to life and then some!! She went above and beyond with every detail. She intuitively knew what we wanted and made it all happen!! We would highly recommend them to anyone/everyone - best decision we made in the wedding journey!! Thank you LJ Events!!! -Susan Schonfeld
We honestly could not imagine our day without them. From months out, their attention to detail is unrivaled. Their constant interaction with you calms you knowing that while you may not know everything you don't need to because you have them. They stayed on top of everything pre-wedding, including important details you couldn't dream of thinking of. When you thought their value couldn't get better-they will blow you away the day of. They kept the day lighthearted, fun and really allow your wedding day to be what you dreamed of your whole life. We felt like we knew Jamie & Lauren for years and it's really a testament to their business and their personalities. It's more than just a business transaction for them; they treat your wedding like it's their own and they just know what needs to be done and they do it before you even realize it needs to be done. They are both incredible and they eliminate all the stress you may be feeling so you can truly enjoy each and every detail. Hire LJ Events-then sit back and relax knowing that you just nailed the most important decision regarding the wedding outside of choosing your life-long partner. We are forever grateful for the two of you. -Annie + Jeremy Zarou
Lauren and Jamie are truly outstanding professionals to work with in all aspects of wedding planning. I hired them because one of my best friends was one of the most organized and best brides that I had ever seen on her wedding day. I used their full services at the time of the beginning of the wedding process, and they were both with me throughout the entire process. Lauren truly became a friend- someone who understood my wishes, advocated for the aesthetic that I was hoping for, and she truly found a way to meet all needs that I had including my budget. On my wedding day, I felt as though my friend was celebrating my special day with me. I was calm and at ease that I was truly in the best hands, and my wedding day was truly the best day of my life because of the team that LJ Events helped me comprise. The primary compliment from all guests was that it was the most seamless wedding that they had ever seen. I would recommend them to every bride; they are truly outstanding. -Ida Micaily + Sam Olyaei
Working with Jamie to plan our wedding was probably the best decision we made. She made the process so easy and took so much work off of our plates. She was able to recommend vendors, arrange meetings and relayed anything we wanted done to our vendors - even arranged our meetings with vendors. Jamie payed attention to every detail and was on top of everything! When planning our wedding with her I felt like I could ask her anything about the wedding process, not just wedding detail questions. She was super responsive and always found an answer or way to get the things done that we wanted done. She was truly the best! -Jaimee + Michael Bees
Finding the right wedding planner was our first, and arguably most important, decision when we started planning our wedding. When we met with Jamie, we felt easy chemistry and were immediately impressed with LJE's expertise and full-service offerings, and post-meeting, their responsiveness and attention to detail. When we signed on, we didn't quite realize just how *full service* LJE is. We had a large, backyard wedding, which requires A LOT of planning. Over the course of the year, LJE managed over a dozen vendors and helped us navigate countless decisions from the tiniest details (e.g., string light placement) to the biggest decisions (e.g., our rain plan). LJE kept us on track throughout the year-long planning process and, most importantly, on our actual wedding day. It's not hyperbole when I say our wedding was perfectly executed thanks to LJE. Working with LJE was the best decision we made throughout the entire wedding planning process... besides our decision to get married in the first place :) -Ilana + Greg Milstein
Lauren (and LJ Events) was just so perfectly amazing for us! She took everything we told her and suggested to her and crafted the best wedding that was the perfect blend of our personalities - and all of her vendor suggestions were not only within budget but were amazing and helped to create a wonderful day. We never had to worry about any of the behind-the-scenes vendor or logistical aspects of things; she went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly. It was the best day ever - thanks to Lauren and LJ Events! -Jenny Orel + Max Moline
I can not even put into words how amazing Jamie is. She made my wildest dreams come true through her numerous connections and she was ALWAYS ready with a suggestion when I wanted another “WOW” factor or when I had a dream she made it a reality. On the actual day of the wedding I swear she was a magician .... she had everything down to a science and under control I did not stress once. I left the most important day of my life that I had been planning since I was a little girl in her hands and she made it PERFECT. I cannot say enough about her, I miss talking to her! She is an amazing person and an even more amazing planner!!!! -Samara + Sean Blom
I am not a person who often writes reviews, but in this case I must. Jamie was awesome in every way possible - organized, calm, responsive, and a pure pleasure to work with. Did I mentioned organized? She was on top of every detail I could think of, and quite a few I didn’t think of. I was initially undecided whether to hire a wedding planner or not, but I encourage all brides to take the plunge, especially with LJEvents. You will not be disappointed and they will make your special day run smoothly and flawlessly! -Chris Connolly
Our daughter's wedding was simply perfect and Jamie is largely responsible. I thank our lucky stars every day that we found her. LJEvents was the number one wedding planner recommendation of every wedding venue we toured and after one initial telephone conversation it was easy to see why. Jamie is delightful; knowledgeable, professional, experienced, warm and easy to talk to. Honestly, she left no stone unturned. We were always made to feel that we were a priority. Jamie helped us to secure some of the city's most highly sought vendors promptly. She listened so well to us in our initial conversations that her recommendations were spot on. On the wedding day, Jamie never left our side. The bride and groom and their parents were able to relax and simply enjoy our family's wedding. Weddings are highly emotional occasions, but thanks to Jamie the only emotions we experienced are tears of joy and total elation. -Stephanie Citron
Jamie was phenomenal at helping us plan our day. We appreciated so much her attention to detail, her positive attitude, and her aptitude for problem solving so quickly that we often didn’t even realize there were issues. On the wedding day, any wonder or question that came up Jamie had already thought of and was in the process of solving. She is truly the reason our wedding day went off with our a hitch. We loved every minute of the year and a half that we worked with her, and by the end she felt like both a member of our team and a member of our family; we cannot say enough about her level of service! -Lindsey + Brad Herbig
Jamie and Lauren were absolute perfection. We had no plans to get a planner because we are organized, and figured we could work it out ourselves. In the hopes that it'd relieve a little pressure during a busy time, we booked Lauren James Events and it was truly the best decision we made for this wedding. They go above and beyond what you think a planner might do. Every detail you won't think of, I guarantee they already have. They managed the day beautifully and made it feel seamless and calm, for both the families and the guests - not an easy feat with families and wedding parties that are anxious to make the wedding "perfect." I can't recommend Lauren James Events highly enough, and am so grateful for everything they've done for us and our wedding. -Samantha + Kyle Chapman
When you start working with LJEvents they make sure that they understand your vision and your vibe. They take into consideration what you say and feel and also try to accommodate the expectations of your parents and your guests. They can see the big picture, even if you can't. Jamie was hands on from Day 1 of planning, She answered each of my questions with patience and grace via email, phone and text. She was always there for you and was happy to provided peace of mind constantly. The Wedding Weekend would not have happened without her. Her attention to detail and enthusiasm made the Weekend special. I cannot imagine planning my Wedding without Jamie and I cannot imagine my Wedding Weekend going so smoothly without her. LJEvents is incredible and every bride should use their services! -Kristine + John Treese
The best decision I have ever made was choosing to work with Lauren James Events as our wedding planners. They came highly recommended and exceeded our expectations. From the first day we met both Jamie & Lauren- they completely understood our vision. We explained what we were looking for and Jamie quickly provided us a list of recommendations for vendors tailored to our taste & budget. She was beyond helpful listening to our pro and con lists and assisting us with finding who would be the perfect fit. Her responsiveness, professionalism and attention to detail constantly amazed and impressed me. She helped us to make the right decisions- to see what we wanted and needed and helped clarify our vision when it sometimes blurred. From the time Jamie & Lauren arrived I knew I was putting the best day of my life in the most capable hands. Everything was taken care of. We are so lucky to have worked with LJ Events for our wedding and could not recommend them more!! -Jaclyn + Steven Bialick
Jamie was an invaluable part of my wedding day! She was technically a month of planner for me, but she worked with me for the entire year and a half of my engagement on logistics and timelines. Jamie thought of every little detail, from timing to personal items to family dynamics, and she did it all with a smile on her face. I can't thank Jamie enough for making my wedding day run so smoothly. -Alex + Sam Mindlin
When my daughter became engaged, she consulted with a friend about vendors. Jamie from LJ Events was at the very top of the list. This particular wedding was difficult to plan because I am located in CA, the bride was in NYC and the wedding was in Philly. Because of this, there were so many things that popped up that I did not anticipate in the months leading up to the wedding, but Jamie did. And that made what could have been a very stressful time for me much less so. Details are what make a wedding weekend the most memorable and Jamie has the details down to a science. What stood out the most was Jamie’s willingness to go WAY above and beyond what was required. She is what kept me sane. Bottom line, Jamie and LJ Events are hands-down the best wedding planners and I would not hesitate to recommend them or speak to anyone about their services. You not only will not be disappointed but completely blown away. Use them. -Julie Davidson
Working with Jamie over the past year and a half has been absolutely amazing. Jamie is amazing at what she does and she will not disappoint. From the moment I sent her an initial e-mail all the way through our wedding ceremony and reception, Jamie was organized, thorough, professional, warm, and VERY good at her job. She was always accessible, especially when we hit little snags throughout the planning process. In all honesty, our wedding would not have been what it was (which is exactly what we wanted) without her and Lauren James Events! I cannot recommend Lauren James Events highly enough! -Samantha + Michael Padasak
We strongly recommend Lauren James Events to help you plan your wedding. Lauren is an amazing wedding planner and also an amazing person. She helped us throughout the wedding process and handled all the nitty gritty parts of wedding planning. She answered all of our questions and was very helpful, friendly, and happy. The day of Lauren and Jamie made the wedding day go by seamlessly!! I was not stressed at all. They were efficient, down to business while also being positive and happy and making the day fun. They were by our side the whole time, and we are happy with how the day turned out. -Priya + John Cortes
I want to thank you again and again from the bottom of my heart. We all had the most extraordinary weekend of our lives. We absolutely could not have done it without Lauren. From the minute I spoke to Lauren on the phone I knew we would work well together, but I had no idea how invaluable her organizational skills, her know-how, her advice and truly her presence- her delightfully calm, but hands-on approach- to all the prep and of course, the wedding day. I consider myself an extremely capable party planner and an experienced hostess and still I marvel at how amazing she is. I felt like she was a best friend throughout the planning process and I could turn to her for support and guidance. On the wedding day, Lauren kept things running smoothly and made us all as stress-free as possible so we could enjoy the spectacular day! Lauren went above and beyond. I would recommend Lauren and Jamie to anyone who is planning anything. They should be the first call after an engagement is announced! -Emily Orel
Jamie and Lauren are incredible at what they do and are a pleasure to work with. Throughout the planning process we worked with Lauren and from day 1, it was clear she was seasoned and her knowledge would be invaluable. The confidence we felt in her put us at ease. From a planning standpoint, she was extremely organized and her timelines kept us on track so there would be no oversights. She made us aware of things we would have not otherwise thought of when planning and was extremely responsive. It scares me to imagine what it would have been like without them day of! There are so many moving parts that day and they were on top of everything so it felt seamless. They will go above and beyond to make sure your day is perfect- no questions asked. When we had a small hiccup (one of our groomsmen ripped his pants 3 hours before the ceremony) they stayed calm and went to Men's Wearhouse and got our groomsmen new pants. They are PERFECT. I would love an excuse to work with them again in the future! -Alex + Brian Bernstein
Jamie of LJEvents was our wedding planner and I can't say enough good things about our experience with her. Jamie is incredibly organized and responsive, plus just being an all around delightful person to work with. I organize a lot of events myself in my business life, so I have pretty high standards already, and Jamie far exceeded my every expectation. She anticipated every step along the way, and knows all the vendors in the Philadelphia area. She worked tirelessly for us. By the time we got to the big day, we could just sit back and enjoy being at our own wedding, while Jamie and the LJEvents team ran the show and managed every detail. Our family and guests raved that it was the best wedding they've ever been too. -Catherine + Jim Keenan
Working with LJ Events and Lauren in particular was the best wedding decision we made. Her attention to detail and responsiveness made decision making easy and effortless (at least on our end!). We enjoyed our wedding weekend, stress-free, because of Lauren's leadership. Vendor concerns or questions were handled without our knowledge and we had the best weekend of our lives. Our family members were so impressed and well taken care of day-of. My hard-to-impress MIL was raving to all of her friends about the level of service. I could not recommend LJ Events more. -Maureen + Kevin Levy
If I could provide more than 5 stars, I would! Going with Lauren James Events was by far the easiest and best decision we made in the wedding planning process. Everyone we worked with was truly amazing - organized, friendly, knowledgeable, helpful, and just on it. I would recommend using them for any and every event anyone ever has! -Sam + Zack Nagelberg
Over the past year+ I worked with Jamie and LJ Events to plan my dream wedding. From our very first meeting, Jamie was professional, accommodating, responsive, and quickly became an integral part of our planning process. Jamie made it very easy (and fun!) for me and my mom to find the best vendors, stay organized, create the "vibe" I was looking for, and not feel overwhelmed throughout the process, even though we had the added challenge of planning the wedding from across the country. She regularly communicated with us (and was extremely quick to respond when we reached out to her) and our vendors to make sure we were all on track and had all of our questions answered ahead of schedule. We were able to totally enjoy the festivities knowing that Jamie and Lauren were there to make sure that everything ran smoothly. Both Jamie and Lauren helped make the wedding weekend the best ever for my family and guests - we couldn't have done it without them! -Lindsay + Dan Davis
Words can not adequately convey the sentiment we have for the effort, professionalism, enthusiasm, and sheer perfection of our wedding day, which was absolutely the result of Jamie Nadeau's expertise and planning. Not only was the day absolutely perfect, we continue to receive emails and calls from guests who say it was the best wedding they have ever attended. We agree! -Moira + Kevin Trapper
I had the BEST experience working with Lauren James Events. From the very first day working with them to now, two weeks after the wedding, they have been amazing! I personally was very overwhelmed by the idea of the wedding planning process, but thanks to Lauren and Jamie, it could not have been a more enjoyable or stress free experience. Their attention to detail, their responsiveness, their network of vendors and contacts are incredible. The months leading up to the wedding were very organized and manageable due to their structured and reasonable approach. The day of our wedding was just perfect and I did not have a worry in the world the entire day! Their execution was flawless – not to mention, they were a joy to work with throughout. Lauren and Jamie responded to my millions of emails no matter what silly questions I had, attended all of our vendor meetings, and provided invaluable perspective and experience to each aspect of the planning process. They completely exceed our expectations. -Tara + Ryan Zaks
Lauren James Events was the best wedding coordinator we could have ever asked for!! We worked mostly with Lauren, and she was absolutely incredible. She was extremely responsive, friendly, organized, and professional throughout the entire wedding process. In the month before our wedding, Lauren took over with the planning details and was truly a lifesaver. She went above and beyond in every way. Her organization, expertise, and attention to detail kept us on track and helped make our wedding day perfect. I would highly recommend using Lauren James Events . Booking them for wedding coordination is one of the best (and easiest!) wedding planning decisions you will make!! -Meredith + Scott Gerland
I couldn't recommend Lauren James events more for your event planning needs. We are two weeks post-wedding and people are still constantly telling us "you had the best wedding ever." Their attention to detail and professionalism is amazing, but more than that they genuinely want to make your day the best they can. We chose to use their full-service package and Jamie was with us every step of the way. From day one she understood the vision I had for my wedding and she made it happen. She balanced family dynamics and personalities flawlessly. Her vendor recommendations were great--we were so pleased with our entire team and her coordination among many, many people was amazing. As the bride, everyone tells you to be prepared for something to go wrong with your wedding and "don't sweat the small stuff", but I can honestly say I think everything went off without a hitch and we owe that largely to Jamie. -Caroline + Andrew Tabler
From the moment we hired Jamie and she started working with us until the very end of our spectacular day, I am convinced that she and her team were instrumental in almost every aspect of the planning and execution. All of the events on September 16 went off flawlessly because of the meticulous advance planning and her ability to calmly and quickly deal with any issue that, real or perceived, threatened to throw things off at the church, Memorial Hall, and in between. Things could not have gone any better from our perspective. The irrefutable proof occurred during and after the wedding in the overwhelming number of glowing comments we received from our guests and as captured in the photos everyone in attendance has shared. Words will never be able to convey our profound thanks to Jamie and her team on doing such a wonderful job and know that her personality and professionalism added immeasurably to a perfect day! -Megan + Patrick Nowlan
Lauren was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. She was responsive and helpful every step of the way during our planning process and was an incredible asset during the wedding weekend itself! I strongly recommend working with LJ Events - they are not only incredible planners but great people! Not only did I have a wonderful experience with them, but friends, family, and other vendors expressed the same! -Stephanie and Matt Kilcur
From the very first time I met Lauren & Jamie, 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. She assured me that everything would be perfect...and IT WAS! Even with an 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 and could not have imagined our day without them! -Jenny + Mark Sandor
My venue came with a day of event coordinator, who was fantastic, but the services Jamie and Lauren provided were above and beyond what a venue coordinator can do for you. They are a wealth of information. I emailed constantly with random questions of which were answered promptly and concisely. It is refreshing to work with people who love what they do. They are energetic, fun, organized and calming all at once. It was clear the focus was on making sure the day was everything I wanted it to be. Because of Lauren and Jamie I truly enjoyed every second of my own wedding. Everyone felt taken care of and I knew it was going to be the best day ever. Weddings are expensive, this is the best money you’ll spend on the wedding! -Allie + Schuyler Cadwalader
Lauren James Events is the best investment you could make for your wedding. Lauren was one of the first calls I made when I got engaged. Lauren and Jamie promptly respond to all calls and questions, regardless of how ridiculous the question may be. They go above and beyond and think of every possible detail, which allows you to plan and enjoy without added stress. When it came to the day of our wedding, Lauren planned every detail and the whole day ran seamlessly. I would highly recommend them, and we will use Lauren James Events for any future events that we plan! -Lauren + Dave Engel
We cant say enough about Jamie and LJ Events. She was a calming influence from the get go. On the day of the wedding, we needed only to focus on our daughter and enjoy the day. All the details were left to Jamie !! It was seamless !! Jamie worked with the Band, Transportation, Banquet Manager, on and on and on. Took calls late in the evening and was responsive from the get go. My wife and are were one happy parents of the Bride. -Brian Huber
I had contacted another event planner who was not available for the date and she referred me to Lauren James Events! My daughter's engagement was just under six months so planning was fast and furious. Jamie was key to making the wedding and reception for over 200 guests "the best wedding ever"! She was available to me anytime for any reason. Jamie made suggestions I would never have thought of that added to the event. Jamie is well acquainted with "vendors" in the business--make up, hair design, band and banquet manager all know Jamie! On the day of the wedding I did not worry about one thing. Jamie fielded questions, got us to the church on time and dealt with any and all vendors. Jamie and Lauren were with us from the rehearsal through the last, last, last dance and took care of all personal items loading them in the limo. I did not need to return the next day to collect anything. These ladies kept me calm and able to enjoy our daughter's wedding. I am so lucky I had Lauren James Events on my team. -Laura Huber
Where do I begin!!! Without Jamie, I think we would have all been running around like a chicken with its head cut off. Her strengths truly shined in the 11th hour - where she took my calls and responded to my texts in the middle of the night, answered every question - big or small - she knows the answer or finds it out for you in a snap... thought of every minute detail, met us anywhere at any time, ensured every vendor (and there were a lot of them) was synced together and on the same page, and kept us so happy - she made the planning so fun! Very Inspiring. I truly trusted her with my life! She is a sweet, wonderful woman - And wow, those lists of hers will put even the most organized bride to shame. Thank You Jamie! -Morgan + Justin Giannone
I am thrilled that I had the opportunity to work with you and could never have done it without you. You were the BEST decision I could have made, and boy do you keep things in order. Thank you for all your terrific input and true concern for the happiness of your client. You were a pleasure and I felt like I've known you for years. -Kathy Woodward
We are so thankful that we hired Lauren James Events for our wedding. We worked with Jamie and she is not only a great person but she is AWESOME at her job. My husband and I were able to relax and enjoy our wedding day instead of coordinating details the whole time. It was WORTH every penny and I highly recommend them! -Alyson + Eric Zagorsky
We worked with Lauren for my daughter's wedding on April 22, 2017..... she was fabulous! I couldn't have done it without her. Lauren was always available to give advise or listen to us. She was organized, professional, and supportive from the beginning of the planning to the end of the evening at the wedding. Lauren had everything under control the day of the wedding to allow us to enjoy the beautiful evening. We couldn't have done it without Lauren!!!! -Ellen Grossman
I cannot begin to tell you how invaluable Jamie 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. She was our anchor, organizer, and confidant throughout the months leading to the wedding. The night of the wedding, we had her partner, Lauren with us, and she was a godsend as well. 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. -Nancy Bennett
I worked with Jamie for our wedding on March 18, 2017 and have nothing but appreciation and love for her! I truly don't think I could have done it all without her. She was so organized and professional throughout the entire process. She helped me stay on top of payments, communication and ideas. She was able to make introductions to various vendors and helped me get responses from some when I couldn't. My family and bridal party was so impressed with how easy Jamie & her team made the wedding day flow. Her timeline and thoroughness of each detail was outstanding. Working with Jamie was the best decision I made when it came to hiring any vendors. There is no doubt in my mind she is the wedding planner you want! -Jess + Seth Mattleman
Lauren and Jamie are amazing! Our wedding was incredible and everything went so smoothly because of them. I had zero stress the day of the wedding because they took care of everything and my husband and I truly had the best day of our lives. Even though we just had them as day of wedding planners, they were so helpful throughout the entire wedding planning process. They are extremely organized, had great creative suggestions, and do so much work behind the scenes to coordinate with all of the other vendors. Thank you for everything!!!! -Mia + Michael Sommer
Jamie and Lauren are absolutely wonderful! I frequently received comments from people that I was the most relaxed bride that they had ever seen and it is because I knew I was in great hands with both Jamie and Lauren. I specifically worked with Jamie and she was incredibly professional and patient throughout the entire process. My wedding day ran so smoothly and as far as I am concerned nothing went wrong (or if it did, Jamie was on it!). I highly recommend Lauren James Events and would definitely use them for any future event needs. -Jackie + Patrick McClellan
Lauren & Jaime were beyond amazing! I began working with them one year prior to my wedding which was extremely helpful. They are extremely professional, responsive, supportive and guide you in the right direction while keeping your vision at the same time. I can't imagine not having them present on the day of our wedding. All the behind the scene things they do make the whole day very smooth and easy as a bride and groom! It was so nice not to worry about all the little details on our wedding day as I knew they had everything under control :) We are so lucky to have had them recommended to us! -Lauren + Francis Kelly
Lauren James Events is PERFECTION. From the moment we met Lauren and Jamie we knew they were the people we wanted to help plan our wedding day. Every step along the way they helped guide us and make our wedding perfect. When things got stressful they calmed us down and handled the situation, and they never let us loose site of the meaning of a wedding and marriage along the way. These two beautiful souls became more than just our wedding coordinators over the course of wedding planning, they became close friends. On the day of our wedding they helped everything run smoothly, and they made the day more magical than we could have ever imagined. They handled themselves with professionalism, class, and grace throughout the entire process. We highly recommend Lauren James Events for anyone planning a special event. -Elizabeth + Liam McCarthy
We couldn't have planned our wedding without Lauren and Jamie! They made the stress of wedding planning disappear! They were always a phone call away (early morning and late at night they were there!) They made the planning process so smooth and the day of the wedding they handled so many stressful situations. They went above and beyond wedding planner duties, I swear they should add "therapist" to their titles! I couldn't imagine trusting anyone else to be there for me and my husband during such a special time, they are family now. -Janelle + Alex Nemeth
The wedding weekend was even more wonderful than I had ever envisioned it would be! It was all spectacular from rehearsal to the end of Sunday brunch. You are true pros. The guardians on my shoulder throughout the wedding planning process, answering every question I posed to you and doing it with the utmost thought and in a timely manner. You followed up with everyone to make sure they would be where they needed to at the correct time. You ran the rehearsal with incredible efficiency even with two Type A parents wanting to control everything. And Saturday was absolute perfection. It was so great to simply show up to Alex’s suite and have makeup arrive, hair arrive and then your team managing everything! It all ran smoothly on our end and for your part in all of that we are truly grateful. -Wendy Kapnek
Lauren James Events lived up to every expectation and beyond. They made the wedding planning process a breeze, paying attention to every detail. They were well prepared, highly organized, tuned into our vision, flexible with meeting times and locations, diplomatic with parents and helpful with finding vendors and services that fit into our budget. They are extremely knowledgeable about the different vendors in the area. They were well versed in the modern etiquette of wedding planning. I never felt rushed, 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, 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. -Ally Weiss + Justin Friedlander
Lauren & Jamie take care of ALL of the details! They kept us on track as we planned our daughters wedding, attended all the planning meetings with us at various vendors. They take 99% of the stress out of the wedding planning! They are ready & able to deal with all the unexpected things that can happen! Because of their efforts & attendance the day of our wedding went smoothly & my husband & I were able to enjoy every minute of the celebration! -Adriana + Bruce Wilson
We had a wonderful experience sharing and planning our big day with Jamie & Lauren. They’re not just your planners, but also your “go-to” Philadelphia guides. Everybody who interacted with them (family members & friends), were very impressed by their service. Our wedding would not have been so successful without them. Jamie and Lauren were attentive to details. They are super proactive on planning and scheduling meetings. They were also extremely accommodating to our style, budget and time. They worked around our schedule, and made sure that we had our dream wedding. We can’t say thank you enough for the great service they provided. We were happy with every aspect of our wedding and Jamie and Lauren were essential in all of these successes. Both in preparations and the day of, they did everything they could to make the day special. I can't imagine what our wedding would have been like without them. -Rachel + Andy Ridgway
Thank you to Lauren James Events for planning Samantha and Jonathan's dream wedding. Their vision down to every last detail created the newlyweds fairy tale wedding. As the mother of the bride I could not have done it without them. There expertise and enthusiasm made the whole experience wonderful. Every detail was covered to perfection. It was such a wonderful stress free evening because of them. -Natalie Baer
Wow! We cannot thank you enough for helping to make our dream wedding come true! You are absolutely amazing at what you do. When people talk about "what is your purpose" or "what is your calling," this is definitely yours! Working with you was such a pleasure and honor. We had so much fun meeting with you, talking, and going over all the details. Your advice, support, guidance, extreme organization and attention to detail throughout the whole wedding process was seriously impeccable. We feel so lucky to have gotten to work with you! Your time and all the work you did to help throw us the best wedding we could possibly ever have is so greatly appreciated. It feels so good to have people telling us what an amazing night it was, and a lot of it is thanks to you! Thank you for pointing us in all the right directions from invitations to floral arrangements to the menu to the lighting to tablecloths and napkins and to so so so much more! We are forever grateful to you! -Samantha + Jon Reinhardt
Lauren and Jamie were a pleasure to work with throughout the entire planning process. I was planning a wedding in Philadelphia from 1,000 miles away in Nashville, and Lauren and Jamie did a wonderful job of setting up phone calls to talk details and offering thoughtful and... Read More helpful suggestions! The day of the wedding went so smoothly because of the two of them, and our guests were so complementary of their kindness and professionalism. We wouldn't have been able to do it without them! -Samantha + Chandler Harris
As the mother-of-the-bride carrying out the details of my daughter and son-in-law's vision for a beautiful wedding in Philadelphia, I could not have done it without the guidance, support, creativity, responsiveness and professionalism of Jamie and Lauren. Every single detail was exquisitely considered and handled throughout the planning and the on the day-of the wedding. No task was too big or too small, and every one of our interactions was informative, resourceful and incredibly helpful. Both Jamie and Lauren gave of themselves generously and poured their hearts into making sure Hannah and Alex's wedding was perfect. And it was! -Beth + Peter Denitz
Jamie & Lauren are the absolute greatest event planners that I can imagine and I run lots of very large business events a year. They have the expertise, vendor knowledge, sophistication & taste to help you plan a truly beautiful event, that takes into account the bride & groom's vision. They are extraordinarily detail oriented-and there are hundreds of details! They were in constant communication as needed, and kept track of decisions that needed to be made, invoices, etc. Best of all, they were such a treat to work with: they were always gracious and fun, and their confidence and knowledge made decision-making painless. My daughter's wedding was spectacular & I give them a great deal of credit in the design and execution of this fabulous day. Of all the bills we paid for the wedding, this was the one that was positively the best value for the services rendered. I can simply not find a single thing to criticize-they are the absolute best! -Susan + Boyd Wolford
Lauren & Jamie are THE BEST. I got married in Philly where I grew up, but I'm currently living in LA. Both of them were by my side from day one of meeting, helped make long-distance wedding planning not intimidating at all, and helped make the whole experience so organized and on schedule. They were BEYOND accommodating to my trips home & made sure to make time for me (even when it was during the holidays or just for a Friday & Saturday). They really made me feel like their biggest priority. Both of them couldn't have been more responsive over email & phone. The day of my wedding went absolutely perfectly thanks to these two pros. They have fantastic relationships with so many vendors, & they understand and act on the nitty gritty of the nitty gritty and do so VERY quickly, all the while being super fun and polite. These ladies were two of my favorite people to work with throughout the whole process & even though the wedding is over I consider them friends and true inspiration! -Kate + Leland Smith
Lauren James Events did not disappoint! They were reliable, attentive, professional and just the absolute best to work with! They made the day so enjoyable and stress free! Their attention to detail is incredible and truly distinguishes them from the rest! I love this team! -Emily + Zach Berman
Lauren and Jamie are two people you need in your life while planning a wedding! They provide you with an opportunity to enjoy the process rather than stressing over it. We found them to be highly organized, detail oriented with a vast network at their fingertips. Importantly, they strike that perfect balance of providing guidance without pushing ideas or solutions. They want your wedding to be everything you envision and go the extra mile to make that happen. Lauren and Jamie are calm and confident on the big day allowing you to be present and have that experience you dreamed of. What more could you ask for!! -Kelly Lundstrom
We LOVED working with Jamie & Lauren (and so did everyone who interacted with them). They were attentive to every detail, responsive to every phone call, email and question, consummate professionals and cared deeply about our wedding day. Our words really can't do justice to just how amazing they both were and how helpful they were during our entire planning process. They helped us stay organized leading up to the wedding, took care of every detail on the wedding day itself, and allowed the entire ceremony and reception to flow so flawlessly there wasn't a single moment where anything was out of place. What we think also made them special is that they both have great personalities that made us feel so comfortable with them during the entire day as if we had known them for years, not just for the time leading up to the wedding. We'll never forget everything they did making our day so special for us. There is nobody else in the world we would have wanted to plan our wedding. -Heather + Ian Nussbaum
If you are looking for wedding planners, look no further than Lauren and Jamie! Our wedding day was perfect and went off without a hitch because of them! We were planning our wedding from a different city and in under a year, Jamie and Lauren kept us on track and focused. I don’t know what we would have done without them! We cannot thank them enough for everything they did to make our wedding day as perfect as it was! They also provided vendor recommendations which worked out perfectly! My now husband was on the fence about hiring planners, but after he said it was the best decision we made! We both cannot recommend Jamie and Lauren enough! They are two of the nicest people you will ever meet which just made working with them even better! They are responsive, organized, creative, and talented! Make wedding planning easy for yourself and ensure your day runs smoothly by hiring Lauren and Jamie, I promise you won't regret it! -Jennifer + Erich Gabris
From the moment I met Jamie and Lauren I knew that I had made the right decision of choosing them as my wedding planners! Throughout the entire planning process they were both easy-going and incredibly professional. They always kept me on track and organized. My wedding day went off without a single hitch because of these two! They were constantly on the ball and made sure the day went perfectly. They were reassuring, professional and so much fun to work with. I would highly recommend LJ events for your wedding planning needs! -Quinn + Rob Forster
Outstanding! Just one of the many words to describe our experience with Jamie and Lauren of LJ Events. From our first meeting through the entire process we were so impressed with their level of service and quality of work. Jamie and Lauren are dynamic. Their knowledge, enthusiasm and creative ideas helped make our Daughter and Son-in-Law's wedding a beautiful and unforgettable day. What was amazing to us was their ability to seamlessly coordinate the efforts of everyone involved. We were so lucky to find Jamie and Lauren and we highly recommend them for your next event. -Jim + Maryalice Cleary
Wow - words can't even begin to express what an amazing experience I had with LJ events. I had hired Lauren and Jamie for "day of" services. From beginning to end, the interactions were professional, yet innovative and exciting! Wedding planning is a great time in your life, but can also be a bit hectic and stressful. After I hired LJ events for my wedding, I felt immediate relief just knowing that they would be there on my wedding day to ensure that everything was executed according to plan (and I mean everything!). And of course, the day was perfect -- from getting ready, to pictures, ceremony and reception -- they were there every step of the way. Not to mention that they are just generally great to be around. Their experience and skill set can't be matched - my only regret was not hiring them as full service. -Alexis + Brian Garvin
Thank you again for the terrific job you did the day of the wedding. You were great throughout the planning process but the big day is the true test. I could not have coordinated such a perfect event without your help. In my former profession, I was the coordinator of corporate real estate for several Fortune 500 companies. I know how difficult it is to pull off a project with lots of moving parts. You guys were flawless. -Dianne and John O'Connell
Words cannot express the gratitude in my heart that I have for Jamie & Lauren. They are spectacular at planning any event and their incredible talents shined so bright the weekend of our wedding- it was truly the best experience of our lives and I would be remiss not to give them credit for that! Their outstanding work ethic, organization, and love made the entire journey planning this event over the course of a year such a dream come true- I do not know what I would have done without them! They have a superior work ethic- they tracked so many details no matter how small on so many fronts, they made sure communication was flowing between vendors, and they did not stop until the job was done. They also really listened to me to understand and execute exactly what I wanted, and helped me figure out what I wanted when I wasn't exactly sure! They are also an incredible resource of creative ideas and fun options to enhance every moment of your event, and bring it to the next level. -Hope + Nick McGrath
Simply stated, hiring Lauren James Events was the best wedding decision we made. Words cannot express how grateful we are for the phenomenal service they provided. Our daughter and son in law's wedding was beautiful and flawless due to their planning, organization, and execution. They introduced us to amazing vendors, attended every appointment, and coordinated every detail. On a personal note, Lauren and Jamie from LJE, are two of the kindest, most responsive people we know. We met these women in Sept 2014 as event planners; we know them in Sept 2015 as friends. They made us feel like our wedding was as important to them, as it was to us. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I miss all those phone calls, texts, and emails. I would recommend them to anyone. Lauren James Events is THE BEST!!! -Marilyn + Rick Goldberg
Dear Lauren and Jamie, You two were absolutely incredible this weekend. Dan and I, and our families, were all blown away by everything you did. You were both so sweet, too-we were sad to say goodbye at the end of the night! Thanks SO much for everything. We are glowing with happiness after this weekend and you two played a huge part in making the wedding as magical as it was. -Alysa + Daniel Ain
Lauren and Jamie were unbelievable! They made sure everything was organized and in order leading up to the wedding. It was a huge weight off of mine and my mom's shoulders. The day of the wedding we did not worry about anything. We had the best time and it wouldn't have been possible without Lauren and Jamie! -Alison + Dan Berger
Dear Lauren...I just wanted to thank you so much again for all of your hard work to make my party a success...the invitations were fabulous...the room looked just perfect...the cake was amazing...I can't wait to see the pictures...and all around everyone had a great time...the best part was Irv was totally surprised!...You are a pleasure to work with... -Cheryl Dabrow
Jamie was incredible and I 100% recommend her as a wedding planner. She took care of all the details I needed and even went out of her way to find a vintage rental rug for me (from a friend!) when we needed it at the last minute due to a hiccup at the venue. She was professional, responsive and really nice to work with - my entire family found her a joy to work with. Even at our morning after brunch on Sunday my friends and family told me how great Jamie was at keeping the night rolling but also being behind the scenes - a real pleasure!! -Kiley + Graham Kelly
Dear Jamie, I don't even know how to thank you for the amazing job you did planning and organizing Hannah and Ben's wedding! You made our night so magical and stress free. All the planning and coordinating helped make the wedding PERFECT! There wasn't one thing that we needed that you didn't get done. Your attention to detail is impeccable and we are forever grateful for all you did. Saturday night will be a night we will all remember forever, and you helped to make it fabulous! Thank you again. -Lisa + Harvey Ostroff
Thank you so much for all of your hard work and attention to detail. Saturday could not have been more perfect and we owe it all to the two of you! We are so grateful for your time and energy, and as I already said on Facebook and Instagram, all the little surprises along the way. I cannot tell you the number of people who told us our wedding was the best they had ever been to and that they were so impressed with the flow of the evening and continuity of the details. We know you played a big part in this. I hope we have more events in the future so we can hire the two of you again! I have already told so many people that the best thing we ever did was hire you to help us in the final weeks. Thank you again for everything! -Crissy + Ryan McDonald
Working with Lauren was the best decision we made during our wedding planning process. Lauren took care of every detail and her desire to make our wedding day unforgettable was so greatly appreciated. She is professional, knowledgeable and displayed an attention to detail that allowed us to relax and enjoy every moment of our day. We cannot thank Lauren enough for the tireless effort she put into helping us to plan our perfect day -- we could not imagine having worked with anyone else! -Amanda + Jason Schwartz
I had the pleasure of working with Jamie Fishman Nadeau in the planning of my daughter's wedding at The Ritz Carlton. Jamie was the consummate professional at every stage of the planning and her warm and calm personality made the entire process a joy! Jamie had wonderful suggestions for all the different aspects of the reception, from décor to food to etiquette. She executed a picture perfect experience and made the entire wedding day a dream. I had total confidence in her talent, dedication, and enthusiasm and working with Jamie made everything seem effortless. I highly recommend her to plan any special event and look forward to working with her again!!!! -Connie Cannon Steuer
In a word, Lauren is amazing! Her attention to detail is unparalleled and the ease with which she worked with us made the stress of planning a wedding a whole lot less stressful! As a bride, I had very specific ideas for how I'd like things to go and Lauren made them all happen. Lauren is such a pleasure to work with and knows how to spoil a couple on their most important day… and beyond. People are still commenting on how perfect my wedding was … four years later! -Rebecca + Greg Kniesel
Thanks for your expertise in seeing to it that our daughter's wedding affair was such a beautiful and memorable event. Jamie was with us all the way, guiding us through the planning of the details of every arrangement including the facility, the decorations, the menu and the personnel, and the coordination of the ceremony, the cocktail party, and the dinner and dancing. She saw to it that everything occurred without a hitch. She was always available for my frantic calls during my moments of anxiety and nervousness. Throughout the entire process she was confident, pleasant, professional and always in charge. This event could never have been so perfect without her. Thanks again. -Ellen + Ed Deglin
Our May 19th party was spectacular (all of it and the whole weekend), and Lauren played a big part. Susan said that Lauren was wonderful to work with – she was confident, extremely competent and very much "can do", and she really provided Susan with the assistance she expected and needed. Thank you for everything. -Gary + Susan Goldenberg
We would like to take this opportunity to thank Jamie for a wonderful weekend. The wedding was absolutely perfect! Sara and Matt could not have been happier. So many our guests remarked about what a magnificent event it was from start to finish. We are grateful to her and her attention to detail. Jamie's efforts to make our guests feel welcomed and important were obvious and so appreciated. Everyone made our guests feel almost as important as the bride and groom. So again, thanks for utilizing your expertise to create the perfect wedding for Sara and Matt, our families and our friends. -Sharon Nardone
We were beyond ecstatic! Lauren did an amazing job, not to mention her sweet personality! Dealing with my "drama" & craziness, I am aware is not easy! She is a true pro! Lauren was absolutely wonderful to work with and has a strong grasp of all that is involved in making any event outstanding! My children are soooo happy & so are we! Happy children make for happy parents, as my late Dad used to say! Many, many thanks! -Linda + Robert Schwarz
