Not qualified to oversee an event. Contract is written so the money is processed before any real work is accomplished. Do not sign a contract based on dates. Sign based on work completed. We found ourselves in a serious lurch due to the lack of competence exhibited by Lauren during our event planning process. We were able to secure and finalize all details within a week of taking over the planning process from Lauren. In the end we ended up paying over $2000 to have her send our invitations out. That was all she accomplished in over a month. Lesson learned.

My wife and I asked Lauren to assist us to make a marvelous party to celebrate the many years of our marriage. She covered all the room details, menu, and evening entertainment. She was such a pleasure to work with which allowed Karen and I to have a special experience. She is a real pro!
