LR Events

I don't like writing negative reviews, but unfortunately I wasn't happy with Lorraine as a day of wedding planner. I was busy finishing up school before the wedding, but many of the things that didn't go to plan on the wedding day were not due to this. Lorraine was meant to have two staff assist her on the day of the wedding, but they "cancelled" on the day. Lorraine had lost her voice from being sick, so having helpers was definitely needed on the day. Not to mention we had 200 guests. Our wedding singer tried to leave at 4:30pm, but I had hired him until 5:45pm. He said that he told Lorraine that he had to leave early. This was never communicated to me before the wedding. When I saw the musician packing up, I asked Lorraine if he was leaving, and she said "yes, you only paid for partial service". I had to go speak to the musician myself to explain that we had paid him until 5:45pm. Fortunately he stayed. During the ceremony the groom and groomsman were asked by Lorraine to stand in the kitchen area. This was never a part of the plan for the wedding and the bridal party almost got to the wedding ceremony site before the groom/groomsman. Our wedding cake was an ice cream cake, which I had to personally pick up after 1 hour off the table and take it to the freezer because it was melting and hadn't been looked after. This is something one of her hired helpers could have been there to help with. During the night I asked Lorraine if we could turn off the fluorescent lights in the wedding hall because I had purchased candles and lots of string lights to light up the venue. She just looked at me, and the situation wasn't fixed. The line for dinner was incredibly long and moved very slowly. This is probably because we only had one line for the food instead of two (a line on each side of the table). I feel like an experienced wedding planner would have known to organize two lines. I do appreciate many of the things Lorraine did help me with on the day of the wedding. She printed and laminated our wedding vows, helped light candles, check guests in, helped with the clean up and drove leftover food home for us. She also helped me with the wedding time line. I just expected a lot more from a day of coordinator and I wouldn't recommend her services.

Lorraine was my wedding coordinator for my wedding back in August of 2018. She did such an amazing job coordinating and planning my wedding. Being that I'm from a different state and not physically being there was really tough for me. But Lorraine made it all possible. My husband and I were really happy with her service. She'll go above and beyond for her clients. I would definitely recommend her to our friends and family.

I'm writing this review in response to the one posted by Kanoe R. I have known Lorraine for some time, and she is nothing less than the consummate professional and places the satisfaction of her clients above all else. Her attention to detail, her ability to listen to and fulfill the desires of the brides and grooms she works with is what keeps people coming back to her for her services. Whoever wrote this review has done so simply to be malicious, as they have never been a client of LR Events, has never attempted to contact LR Events, and never allowed LR Events an opportunity to properly address their satisfaction. Unfortunately, anyone with a computer can write a review, and equally as unfortunate, there are hateful people out there who will simply badtalk your business in the hopes of causing some type of negative outcome or consequence. Sad, but true. I can personally attest to anyone that Lorraine is an incredible wedding planner and event planner, who is relentless in making sure her clients are well taken care of.

We were very lucky to have Lorraine as our wedding coordinator for our wedding in September. From the very first meeting we had, we knew she was the one because she was very professional and detail oriented. Along the journey, she had been excellent with her follow ups and reminded us on important things we needed to provide. She even made couple impossible tasks possible by going extra mile. The day of our wedding was just perfect. Many people talk about how a wedding can be so stressful, ours was executed flawlessly because of Lorraine's hard work behind the scene. Her communication with the hotel staffs and leadership during the event was top of the class (I used to manage a hotel property for 6 years and I know it's not always easy to pull off an event this perfectly). I highly recommend Lorraine for any event planning. Trust me, she will make your experience 1000% easier and more memorable :)

Don't use Lorraine. She doesn't return any calls. She's kind of unreliable. I've been trying to contact her for my upcoming event, & I haven't heard back from her. I've emailed, left messages, & no response. I AM URGING EVERYONE TO TAKE YOUR BUSINESS ELSEWHERE. SHE IS NO GOOD!!!!! Don't even get me started on her stuck up attitude. I would've slapped her if I could. Good luck to your business that you're running into the ground!

When planning an event with Lorraine, she was easy to work with and had great communication. What more can you ask in a wedding planner. She was open to ideas on floor plan, was attentive to every detail and made this wedding spectacular. I would recommend her and her business to everyone who is looking for an event planner.

Never met a team so organized and has so much attention to detail! Phonomenal group of people! Parties, wedding, planning, or any event you need to plan out LR Events is the way to go. I say this as a person who works for an event planning company and as a customer. Never seen an event run so smooth and perfect the way LR Events handles things.
