Vip Events Management - Wedding & Event Planning

I hired Lauren w/VIP as a "Day-Of Coordinator" for my wedding in August of this year. She was willing to provide a consultation to explain what she could do for me, and describe the different packages she has (one package was top-to-bottom wedding planning--I wish I would've had her in the beginning!). I planned most of my wedding with the help of my fiance's mother, but as the time grew closer, I just knew that chaos would reign unless I had someone else to assist me on that day. I didn't feel it was fair to my family and friends to expect them to coordinate details on the day of my wedding--after all, I want them to be able to relax & enjoy the day! Once I hired Lauren, she got right to work. We completed a wedding timeline together, she contacted my vendors, and she sorted out details that I wouldn't have even thought of. Before the wedding, my fiance didn't fully understand why I needed to hire ANOTHER person to help with stuff (wedding planners/coordinators aren't cheap). Didn't we already have his mother and a bunch of vendors? After the wedding, he said, "Boy, am I glad we hired Lauren. I hate to think what would've happened if we hadn't." Me too, baby, me too!--trust me when I say: peace of mind is worth every dime.
