  Wedding 10/26/24

  Laura and her sister are AMAZING! We worked with Laura for roughly 1.5 years in preparation of our special day. She was so flexible, kind and easy to work with. She helped make our day everything we wanted it to be and so much more. The stress that is alleviated from having her help making sure your day runs smoothly is so beyond worth it. Highly recommend her services to anyone who wants their day to run smooth and stress free!

  Best decision we made!

  Hiring Laura as our wedding coordinator for my daughter's wedding last month was the best decision we made during the entire planning process. We met Laura at an event at our venue over a year and a half ago and, as soon as my daughter and I spoke with her, we knew we wanted her to be a part of the wedding. When Laura told us that she would handle everything the day of the wedding and all questions would go through her so we could just enjoy the day, we were sold! Even though we only hired her as our day of coordinator, Laura provided so much guidance and kept us on track throughout the process. She shared recommendations regarding her favorite vendors and told us about the venue we used for the rehearsal dinner - Buck and Honey's in Monona - which we loved.
  The week of the wedding, Laura reached out to all of our vendors and confirmed all of the details. She ran the rehearsal the night before (which was great since we had a very inexperienced wedding party) and gave everyone a detailed itinerary so they knew exactly where they needed to be and when. Most importantly, the day of the wedding, Laura ran the show. She dealt with all of the vendors and any questions and set up all of the decor with her assistant Amber (who was also amazing!) She kept everything on schedule and I was told by several guests that it was the most organized and on time wedding they ever attended. During the cocktail hour, the bride's dress strap broke and Laura and Amber whisked her into the bride's room to sew the strap back on and bustle her dress (a job I was dreading as it looked quite complicated). No one even knew about the wardrobe malfunction! Because of Laura and Amber, my daughter and I got to relax and enjoy the wedding day.
  My number one piece of advice to couples starting to plan a wedding is to hire a coordinator. And if you are in the Madison area - hire Laura!

  The best of the best

  Laura is amazing, she deserves 1000 stars out of 10. We booked her when we originally thought we were going to be planning our wedding long distance but our plans changed and we were local but she was still an incredible resource for us. She gave us vendor recommendations, coordinated all our hotel blocks, and kept us so organized and on track with vendor communications and timelines. After every meeting with her, my fiance and I both left feeling so much better about our planning process. She helped my loose 'vision' come together and executed it perfectly on our wedding day. All her hard work allowed us and our family and friends to enjoy the day to the fullest and not worry about any of the details because we had full trust that Laura was handling everything. Honestly, I'm sad our wedding is over because I will miss working with Laura so much!!! I have absolutely nothing negative to say, she is so professional, organized and thorough, you will not be disappointed with her work.

  Worth every penny!

  Laura was simply outstanding! From our first meeting until the last dance at our reception, she ensured everything ran smoothly and seamlessly. Being an out-of-state couple, her local vendor knowledge and guidance during the planning process was invaluable.
  
  On the big day itself, we didn't have to worry about a single logistical detail. She coordinated flawlessly with all of our vendors so that the entire wedding party and events progressed on schedule. When unexpected storms rolled in before the cocktail hour, she swiftly pivoted plans with the venue to avoid any disruptions to the bar service.
  
  We couldn't be happier that we had such a capable, unflappable coordinator at the helm. She allowed us to be fully present and enjoy our wedding day without any stress. Her expertise, professionalism and steady management of our wedding day was worth every penny. We highly recommend working with her!

  Mother of the Groom

  Laura was a spectacular asset to my son’s wedding day. She was organized, thoughtful and oh so adorable! She kept a short leash on a few of the bridal party members:) and had us all feeling confident and comfortable for the big day. I could not have imagined this day going any better than it did and Laura is a big part of that feeling. 5 stars all the way!!

  Everything you could ask for

  My wife and I had the pleasure of having Laura as our wedding coordinator. We had originally not even entertained the thought of hiring a coordinator at all, but boy are we glad we did! Laura could not have been more helpful and informative, from big to small things and from the months before the wedding to the day of. She helped with things we didn’t even think of in the first place, all while being a great person to work with. She made a genuine effort to connect with everyone in our wedding party, our parents, and family members. She truly made it so that all we had to worry about on the day of was getting married!

  Best Wedding Planner EVER

  Hiring Laura was the best wedding planning decision we made! She helped us stay organized leading up to the big day, guided us in making important decisions, made sure everything ran smoothly, and brought our dream vision to life. We couldn’t have done it without her. She is so talented and such an amazing person that really knows what she’s doing. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect and her attention to detail is incredible. Also, I was so touched when Laura and her entire team showed up the morning of the wedding wearing matching sets from the athleisure wear brand I owe (see picture below) - it was so thoughtful and adorable! If you’re getting married, you need Laura in your life :)

  The Best Wedding Planner Out There!

  If I could give Laura more than 5 stars, I absolutely would! She provided invaluable insight throughout the wedding planning process, and honestly pulled the whole wedding together with her amazing services! She went above and beyond to ensure my wedding day was everything I had hoped for!

  One of the best wedding decisions we made!

  Hiring Brides on a Budget was one of the best decisions I made in making my wedding planning as seamless and stress free as possible. Laura helped me navigate all the things that needed to be done in the eight months I had to plan and execute my wedding, and helped me lock in key vendors that I wanted almost 12 months to the date.
  
  She made the planning process easy, providing me with a check list by dates that I looked at every weekend to make sure I wasn't missing anything in between moving out of state and starting a new job. Like any event, there were some bumps along the way, and Laura was the first person to support me and work to problem solve on my behalf.
  
  For the day of, her staff Amber and Julie were buttoned up, personable and went above and beyond. They took care of all the set up and vendor communication, and kept me and my husband informed on only important matters, such as when we were running low on the wine we ordered and the plan to keep it flowing. :-) From getting ready, to the ceremony, reception and clean up, I only saw a perfectly executed wedding. The day went above and beyond what I could have hoped for and Brides on a Budget was influential in making this happen!

  Surpassed All Our Expectations!

  We were so excited to hire and work with Laura for our daughter's wedding. We started planning the details two years in advance, and she was so wonderful to work with from beginning to end. Laura communicated with all the vendors in the weeks leading up to the wedding and on the wedding day. She made it so easy -- as parents of the bride, we felt like we were guests who could enjoy the beautiful day instead of stressing about details with the venue and vendors as a host normally would. Laura ensured the entire day went smoothly thanks to her communication and organization. When we had a minor hiccup with a vendor (out of our control and not her wrongdoing), Laura found a solution and settled it quickly without any guests or the wedding party knowing a thing. We didn't even know about it until after the wedding and we were so glad to have Laura there to advocate for our family and make the day one to remember. We can't say enough good things about Laura and her team, and we'd recommend anyone who is looking for support to hire her in a heart beat!

  Laura with Brides on a Budget was amazing!

  We can’t say enough wonderful things about Laura and her crew! She was very helpful and organized with every detail of our daughter’s wedding! She knew exactly what to do with even the smallest details that we never even thought of. We could ask her any questions or go to her with concerns and she would immediately reply and happily resolve any issues reassuring us that everything was taken care of. She truly went above and beyond in making sure everything went smoothly while ensuring we just were able to sit back and enjoy the day! Her professional manner is outstanding while her kindness and caring nature also shines bright! Everything was perfect and decorated beautifully! We could not have done it all without her! She was not only our wedding coordinator but we now consider her a lifelong friend! Highly recommend!

  Best wedding planner ever!

  Laura with Brides on a Budget was such a good investment for our wedding on 8/28/2021. From the beginning of our wedding planning journey, I was under the belief that my mom and I could plan the wedding without a planner. Although, my mom was insistent that we were going to hire Laura to help us out. Looking back on all of the planning and minute details that went into making the wedding the day of my dreams, I have no regrets with hiring Laura. She was extremely helpful, organized, thorough, and overall AMAZING. She took all of the stress out of the hands of my mom and I, which was such a relief on the day of the wedding. When we had a problem with one of our vendors, she didn't hesitate to jump in and make one of the most special parts of our wedding dream come together. Overall, the service that Laura provided both during the extensive planning up to the wedding and on the day of our wedding was next to none! I highly, highly recommend Laura for all brides! She will make all your wedding planning dreams come to life in a stress-free manner!

  Enjoyed working with her

  We worked with Laura for our wedding date of 8/23/2019 and we’re so glad we did! We hired her right after we got engaged in 2017 and she has worked with us through the past year and a half helping us plan our wedding. She took the time to make sure we ate during our wedding day (which is huge!) Laura is very calm and professional and would definitely recommend her.

  Amazing Wedding Planner!`

  We absolutely adored Laura. She gets everything done so you can truly enjoy the day. She did both my sister's wedding and mine and they both went down so smoothly. She is calm, ORGANIZED (beyond belief) and awesome to work with. I would hire her again in a minute- she is simply the best!

  Thank You Laura and Brides on a Budget

  We hired Laura for our wedding day this past December and it was truly the best decision we made throughout the entire planning process. Not only was she beyond supportive and helpful in the planning process, she was our saving grace throughout our actual day. The vendors, bridal party, family, and friends could not stop complimenting her. She is so organized, professional, and positive it allowed me to enjoy every moment. I had friends and vendors approaching her before the night ended asking for her business card because her work speaks for itself. I adore Laura and her team. I can't thank her enough for everything she did for us.

  We hired Brides on a Budget for day-of wedding coordination. However, as part of that package, Laura met with us several times leading up to the wedding to ensure we had all of the details figured out. She had a calm demeanor, was very detail oriented, and knew the right questions to ask. The day-of the wedding she ensured my family and I could enjoy the day by making sure everything ran smoothly, the vendor schedule was organized, and that the reception venue and church were set-up as outlined. Overall, she helped make our wedding vision become a reality! Laura and her staff were simply amazing!! My sister is getting married next summer and Brides on a Budget is my top vendor recommendation to her! Thank you again, Laura & team!

  Laura from Brides on a Budget was the best decision my husband and I made for our wedding. She helped us with the Day of Coordinating and tear down service. From the first time we met Laura, we could tell she was very organized and professional. As our meetings progressed, we realized just how important she was to making our big day carefree. Laura told us that during our "wedding week", we would just have to worry about being the bride and groom; she couldn't have been more accurate! From the moment the decor left our house, we didn't have to think about one vendor, details or any decorating. We got to enjoy our weekend with our friends and family and it made our day simply perfect. Laura decorated exactly as I had envisioned and provided us with all decor/gifts placed where we requested at the end of the night. We couldn't have imagined our day without her and was easily the best money we spent for our wedding!

  Laura is the absolute best! She helped my finance and I plan for the wedding of our dreams. Throughout the entire planning process, she provided valuable tips regarding vendors, and went above and beyond in terms of her work for us. I could not recommend her more highly. On our wedding day, I was surprisingly relaxed and carefree--because I knew Laura would handle any issues that arose.

  We hired Laura as a day of coordinator for our wedding last month - and it was probably the best decision (after the selection of the groom) that I made about the wedding! I'm a very organized bride but I was worried about making things go smoothly the day of and I didn't want to worry about the details during the wedding day.
  I hired Laura thinking she would just "be there to set up a few things and answer questions" the day of the wedding but what she ultimately did was far above and beyond that! I felt like we should have paid her so much more for what she helped us with! She was extremely responsive - especially through email (my preferred method of communicating with other vendors as well) -- and had wonderful advice as I was navigating the wedding planning process. Her recommendations for everything were perfect, including a hotel for our guests (that had a shuttle); a wonderful florist and string quartet for our ceremony.
  Laura is so patient and kind that it was easy to work with her. But don't let her demeanor fool you! I only found out after the wedding that she didn't even flinch when it came to kicking out another large group that was taking photos near our public ceremony site right before I arrived. When I showed up, everything was in order and there was no chaos around. I am forever grateful to her for making sure everything went smoothly the day of and she took care of issues so well that I didn't even know about them during the wedding.
  I would recommend Laura to anyone who is planning a wedding - whether you're organized or not. She is truly the best and will do everything she can to make sure you have a beautiful and easy wedding!

  I honestly can't say enough wonderful things about Laura and her ability to create a wonderful wedding! Prompt, assertive, professional, kind, and organized are just some of the words that come to mind when describing her. We worked with Laura for a while (we had almost a year and half engagement) and she maintained the same focus and work ethic the entire timeline we were together. From the beginning, she understood the look and style of wedding we were imagining and she quickly caught on and ran with it, coming up with amazing additional ideas and the most wonderful vendor suggestions. I truly think we had the A-Team when it came to vendors for our wedding - including Laura. She really became a friend and confidante during the whole process and what more could you really ask for in a wedding planner!? She was incredible from start to finish and helped to deploy the most perfect wedding for us! Go Laura! :)

  There are no words to explain how overwhelmingly awesome Laura is and how wonderful she made our wedding day. Neither of us felt particularly excited about the planning--we knew we didn't want to have a traditional wedding, but we weren't sure exactly what that meant. Laura was incredibly patient with us, walking us through each step, and guiding us through the decisions we needed to make. And while we knew it was going to be a fun and happy day, we couldn't know how awesome Laura and her staff would make it. Truly, it was one of the happiest days of our lives.
  
  Our wedding was pretty DIY. But with Laura and her staff, we knew everything would be taken care of with no help from us or our families. We were married in a city park with the reception in the corresponding barn/shelter. Laura and staff decorated the facility, handled vendor drop offs, placed all of our chairs for the outside ceremony, handled beverage and food refill from our drop off catering and even handled the wedding crashers.
  
  As nervous as we were for the big day, none of it was about logistics. From planning sessions to checking in with vendors to day-of implementation, Laura was incredibly communicative and organized. She is worth far more than she charges and she will forever be one of the happy memories from our wedding as the person who pulled it all together.

  Laura and her team were the absolute best. I went back and forth during my wedding planning process about hiring a wedding coordinator, and I am so happy I did. I highly recommend every bride hire a day of coordinator, definitely worth every penny! I hired Laura for same day wedding coordination and end of night clean up.
  
  Laura was so easy to work with. She was quick to respond to e-mails, super organized and so easy to talk with. She went above and beyond to make my wedding day run smoothly and brought my wedding day vision to life.
  
  We met several times in person to work on a time line for the entire weekend and details of decorating. My wedding party and vendors were super impressed by the time line. It helped keep people from asking me where they needed to be when, they just had to reference back to the itinerary. She also contacted all my vendors the week of the wedding so I didn't have to worry about verifying last minute details with them.
  
  The moment I handed off all my decor for our wedding to Laura, a calmness settled over me. I knew everything was out of my hands and into hers. I trusted her to make my wedding day beautiful and run smoothly, which of course she did. I was able to relax and enjoy our wedding day and the entire weekend. I didn't have to worry about a thing. The end of the night clean up was also a great add on. All of our gifts, decor and floral arrangements were packed up and brought to our hotel room. She even returned my rental items for me.
  
  I can't say enough great things about Laura! Thank you so much Laura!

  Laura and her team were awesome. We hired her for "day of" coordination, but she spent much more time meeting with us and helping us plan the details of the wedding during the month up to the wedding day. She was incredibly well organized and ridiculously responsive. We got email responses within hours not within the day. The wedding was exactly how we wanted it to be thanks to Laura and her team. She even had all the little things that slip your mind on the wedding day: wine opener, cooler, and extra card holders. Highly recommended! Do yourself a favor and get Laura to help, you need her whether you know it or not.
