“What people are saying”

  • "...Lauren is so passionate about what she does and made our wedding day better than we could have imagined. She completely understood our vision and was able to bring our vision into reality in ways we didn't know possible. She had endless ideas that I would have never thought of and was also open to our suggestions and feedback though the whole process making her so easy to work with. Lauren is so creative and our guests were blown away by the ballroom decorations at our reception. She came up with so many ideas that made the space look beautiful and dynamic. Lauren also put together a flawless wedding day timeline that ran so smoothly and we could just relax and enjoy (our vendors even commented that the day was so well organized). We seriously did not worry about a thing on our wedding day and everything was executed beautifully. We enjoyed the whole planning process and you could really tell how much Lauren cares about her clients.”

  • “From the get go, it was clear Lauren knew the ins and outs of the DMV Mitzvah world. She was always available, promptly assisting us with any questions or concern we had. She had a cool calm and collected vibe, especially the days leading up to the event. When the event space had a major setback 3 days before the event, she didn’t miss a beat creating a Plan B. At our party, Lauren kept everything on track, and I didn’t have one single worry and could every second of my son’s Bar Mitzvah Celebration.”

  • “We could not imagine planning our wedding without Lauren!! She made the whole experience so easy and stress free. she immediately understood our vision and asked really thoughtful questions about pictures we had on Pinterest to determine exactly what we liked. in the end, she made our vision even more amazing than we could have imagined. she has amazing attention to detail and communicated thoroughly with all of our vendors to make a timeline that flowed seamlessly. So many of our wedding party commented on how awesome and helpful our planner was. You can really tell Lauren puts her all into each event she does.

  • “We hired Lauren to help plan our daughter's Bat Mitzvah. After working with Lauren I am thoroughly convinced that we could not have done it without her! She is incredibly hardworking, extremely organized and "knows her stuff." She kept us on track and made sure nothing slipped through the cracks. Lauren is also unbelievably calm, and quickly finds a solution for any "hiccup" that might arise. She's thorough and knowledgeable about every aspect of planning an event, and is very well connected in the DC area. On top of all that Lauren is reasonably priced. I HIGHLY recommend Lauren - you'd be foolish not to use her for your next event!”

Our guests have raved to us about our event's success, achieved with Lauren's stewardship despite various post-pandemic headwinds. We give Lauren our highest recommendation!goes here”

  • “I had the pleasure of working with Lauren for my daughter’s bat mitzvah. I couldn’t have asked for a more magical bat mitzvah weekend. Lauren’s creativity with the theme was beyond anything we could’ve dreamed of. She was organized, patient and just a joy to partner with for this special occasion. She had the best vendors to recommend as well. My daughter had the night of her life and all because Lauren put together the most beautiful celebration. I would highly recommend Lauren! She’s the best.”

    -Michelle G. 05/10/2025

  • “I HIGHLY recommend working with LR Events! Lauren guided me and my family through the process of planning a significant affair from start to finish. She is honest, fair, and highly skilled in her field. Her expertise was essential when dealing with a variety of vendors such as invitations, decor, event space, food and beverage, etc. The weekend and evening were perfect, and we owe much of that to the behind-the-scenes effort LR Events put into such a special occasion for me and my family. Again, 5 out of 5 stars for LR Events.”
