We had the absolute pleasure of working with Lauren from Elle & Co for our wedding, and we cannot recommend her highly enough! We opted for partial planning, and from start to finish, she exceeded all of our expectations.

Lauren was incredibly responsive—any time we had a question or concern, she was quick to reply and always available to lend her expertise. Her attention to detail was impeccable, ensuring every element of our big day came together perfectly. From the smallest décor pieces to the overall flow of the event, she made sure nothing was overlooked.

What really stood out was her organizational skills. Everything ran smoothly, and it was clear she had thought of every logistical aspect. She kept us on track and worked tiredly to make the planning process as little stressful as possible. On the day of the wedding, we didn’t have to worry about a single thing because we knew [Lauren and her team had everything under control.

Her communication with us, our vendors, and even our family was top-notch. She handled all the moving parts with grace and professionalism, making sure everyone was on the same page. Speaking of family, Lauren was a supportive and calming presence when we experienced some family drama leading up to the wedding. She managed it with such tact and care, allowing us to focus on enjoying our day.

If you’re looking for a planner who is organized, detail-oriented, communicative, and a true advocate for your vision, Lauren is the one! She made our wedding day an unforgettable experience, and we are so grateful for her dedication and hard work. The best decision we made was to work with Lauren. Book Elle & Co, specifically Lauren! You won’t regret it!

Thank you, Lauren, for making our dream wedding a reality!

Our wedding was March 9, 2024, at the spectacular Mt. Washington Mill Dye House. From the moment we began working with Lauren and her team at Elle & Co., we knew we were in the best of hands. Their week-of support was simply unparalleled.

From the outset, Lauren's dedication and foresight were remarkable. She anticipated details we hadn’t even considered and deftly arranged a rain backup transportation plan, which turned out to be a lifesaver. Her proactive approach, coupled with her insightful advice and seamless vendor connections, transformed what could have been a stressful planning process into an absolute joy.

Lauren's availability and responsiveness were outstanding. She was always there to answer our questions and offer valuable insights. In the crucial week leading up to our wedding, she was available at a moment’s notice, meticulously tying up every last detail. The creativity Lauren brought to our wedding was extraordinary. She took our vision and brought it to life in ways we couldn't have imagined, showcasing all our months of planning with effortless beauty and elegance. Lauren and her team made our wedding not just special but a true reflection of our personalities and love story.

Lauren's connection with our vendors was seamless. She ensured everyone had exactly what they needed, and any potential hiccups were managed with grace and efficiency. She even assisted us in arranging “happy birthday” to be sung to our two flower girls, turning 6 and 1 the week of the wedding. She also assigned a team member to escort in the Orioles Bird who made a surprise appearance for our guests during cocktail hour! Ushering him in during our ceremony, with our guests none the wiser.

One moment that stood out was when she discreetly removed a tip jar we hadn’t planned for, knowing we had already taken care of tipping the bartenders. Her thoughtful actions ensured everything flowed smoothly, keeping our families and guests at the forefront of her mind. Another was when we surprised our bridal party with a dance floor champagne toast — a detail we forgot to tell her about, but she stepped in and magically made multiple bottles of champagne appear at a moment's notice.

On the day of the wedding, Lauren and her team executed a master plan that was detailed and perfectly timed. Every aspect of the day went off without a hitch. Their meticulous attention to detail was beyond anything we could have imagined. If there were any issues, we never knew about them, which is a testament to their flawless coordination.

We cannot thank Lauren and the Elle & Co. team enough. They helped us created a magical experience that will forever be etched in our hearts. Our guests were equally impressed, with many commenting on the seamless and well-thought-out details of the day. I wholeheartedly recommend Lauren and the Elle & Co. team to anyone seeking a wedding planner who will go above and beyond to make their special day extraordinary. We can’t thank them enough for their incredible support and professionalism that has left an indelible mark on our lives.

Thank you, Lauren and Elle & Co., for making our wedding day a perfect, unforgettable celebration of love!

I truly only have positive words for Lauren M. and the Elle Ellinghaus and Co company! Working with Lauren was a fun, stress free experience, and she made our wedding day run smoothly! Our first meeting was a virtual zoom call, and we instantly knew we wanted to work with her! She was friendly and knowledgeable and I could tell we could trust in her to do an amazing job on our wedding day. Lauren sends you a detailed planning packet once you book to help guide the wedding planning, and she emails super fast with responses. We met with her to review our packet for the month of wedding coordination package, and she asked us things we hadn’t even thought of, gave us suggestions, and then took over all vendor contact which was great! She helped us find a linen company, and answered our various emails about linen selections. She also sent an extensive timeline that not only impressed us, but also our vendors and family members as well! Everyone knew where to be and when to be there. On the wedding rehearsal day and the day of the wedding, Lauren led everyone with ease, and kept the day running smoothly! Our day would not have gone as smoothly if it wasn’t for her! If you need a day of or month of coordinator, or a full wedding planner, make sure to book with Elle Ellinghaus and work with Lauren. It’ll be the best experience!!
