    Made Our Colorado Wedding A Dream Come True!

    Where to even begin?? We are so grateful we had Stacy from Events by Memory Lane throughout our wedding planning process! ! She helped us think through every detail - big and small - throughout the whole planning process. From the start when she helped us determine our vision and priorities for our wedding to the very end when every detail was just as we hoped for, she was there!

    Stacy makes you feel like you're friends (even family!) while still being professional. She communicated well, kept us on track, and taught us a thing or two about wedding planning along the way. She assisted with vendor selections, contracts, design planning, invitation lists, and the many, many other items in-between.

    We are so thankful to her for helping us with our stunning destination wedding in Colorado and would 110% recommend her for anyone looking for a wedding planner for their special day. Thank you, Stacy!!

    Best wedding planner ever!

    Stacy is FABULOUS!!! We could not have asked for a better wedding planner! She thinks of everything, and I thought I was a fabulous planner! She was extremely helpful during the entire process and was always quick to respond to any question or issue that arose! Her assistant was also extremely professional and helpful! I WILL FOREVER RECOMMEND STACY AND HER WONDERFUL ASSISTANT EMILY!

    Stacy is amazing! Highly recommend Events by Memory Lane

    We cannot say enough good things about Stacy! We hired her as our day-of coordinator, and I feel like we could not have chosen a better person. She was thorough, responsive, and enthusiastic. In the time leading up to the wedding she offered excellent advice, and on the wedding day she made sure things ran smoothly. She even had a special tool to help me with my bustle. She managed our vendors beautifully and we are so thankful to her for making the day amazing!

    MVP of Wedding Planners

    Stacy is truly the key to having the wedding of your dreams! From the very beginning, she makes sure to take the time to understand what you want in your dream wedding through meetings, phone calls, Pinterest board collaborations, and questionnaires (super thorough and makes sure everyone is on the same page). We originally planned an amazing event for 200+ guests with Stacy. About a month before our original wedding date the pandemic started. Three postponements, two location changes, and many vendor swaps later, we can confidently say Stacy is the MVP of wedding planners. She was calm, supportive, and cheerful during our original wedding planning AND also through our replanning process. We spent over two years together and sent tons of detailed emails and had numerous phone calls and meetings with Stacy and we only have the highest praise for her. She is organized, an excellent communicator, creative, detail-oriented, and very patient. Importantly, Stacy is a great relationship builder with not only with her clients, but also with vendors (which was really important when we had to make so many changes because of postponements). She is as fully committed to your dream wedding as you are. We can’t emphasis enough how wonderful it is to know on your wedding that everything is taken care of and you can just enjoy the day. We are so grateful for everything she did to make our wedding truly magical and we can’t thank and recommend her enough!

    Excellent!!!!!!

    Stacy (owner) of Events By Memory Lane, is a top notch wedding planner. I could tell she was the perfect fit for planning our special day from the first phone call. The wedding board she created after our first meeting, was exactly what I had envisioned. She worked with my husband and I, for over a year and a half, bringing our vision/ideas to life. She helped us navigate through the crazy world of wedding planning and I don’t think we could have done it without her. We give her over a 5 star rating.

    Great energy

    During wedding planning, Stacy actually managed to get me even more excited about my wedding. Then, on wedding day, there were a couple of hiccups that my husband and I didn’t even notice because Stacy smoothed them over immediately. I love that we were able to enjoy the actual day of our wedding without any stress.

    Stacy brought our dream to reality!

    Hiring Stacy was one of if not the best decision we made when hiring for our wedding. She was able to listen to the both of us and guide our choices by understanding what we were going for but having no idea how to articulate it well. We ended up with our absolute dream wedding exactly as I envisioned it. I was prepared for something to go a little off course as one might, and not even a single speed bump along the way. She connected us with the perfect vendors and then managed everything on the day. Not a single thought was spent worrying about what went where on our special day and frankly this was some of the best money we spent for that piece of mind, easily worth double! Our wedding was six months ago and one of the best days of my life, and bad of me to wait this long to write a review but it that amazing to the point that I was not ready to close the door on it as I am still basking in the haze of a dream come true. Thank you Stacy!!!

    Thank you Stacy!!!

    Our Stacy is the best!!! She did a fantastic job for our wedding on 2019.09.27!!!

    She is so reliable that I will just “give” my little anxious wife to her without any second thought to finish meeting with the vendors when I have to go back to work in the middle of that meeting. Can you imagine how great that is?

    When my wife is worried about something regarding the wedding planning (there are a lot to worry about, right? Especially when neither of us had one before:)n), she will always give her a very detailed and clear answer calmly and patiently either through phone or in person, which makes us so relieved and truly believe she always keeps on top of everything. Can you imagine how wonderful that is!

    On the occasion of our first anniversary, we want to say THANK YOU to Stacy from the bottom of our hearts. We want to let you know that WITHOUT YOU, our wedding will not be as beautiful as it is!!! Best wishes for your great business and we hope it is getting more and more thriving and prosperous!!!

    Dreams Come True

    I can't say enough good things about Stacy and all the work she did to give us an amazing wedding. Both my Wife and I have very busy work schedules and she did a phenomenal job keeping us on track, organized, and providing advice when we needed it. The other major thing that sticks out to me was her performance during the "day of" coordination. There are a million details to get right, and the Bride & Groom can either spend their wedding day worrying about them, or enjoy that truly special occasion because they trust their coordinator to take care of business. I'm happy to say that we had the best day of our lives because Stacy stayed on top of EVERYTHING. I hope that if you are reading this review you don't pass up on someone that will help you turn your dream day into reality.

    Outstanding experience. Great partner for the big day!

    Stacy worked with us for months to plan for just the kind of wedding we wanted. When the big day arrived, Stacy and her team made everything so perfect! It was a hot day and Stacy kept her beautiful smile and sweet spirit through all the challenges and details. We loved working with Stacy and would highly recommend this company.

    Exactly what we needed

    We were looking for a day-of coordinator to help everything run smoothly and for the peace of mind it offered. Stacy was amazing! She reviewed all of our ideas and plans and helped find inconsistencies and fill in the gaps, and she took over the smaller details and tasks throughout the wedding weekend. Our day went smoothly and better than I could have asked for. . Our guests raved about her as well. Thank you!!

    Above and Beyond

    Stacy went above and beyond our expectations. Anytime someone asks if we were nervous or stressed out about all the wedding planning, our answer was always the same. "Not at all, we have Stacy." She booked all the appointments, confirmed them and attended all the ones she could. In an event that Stacy was unable to attend, she provided us with handouts with questions she would typically asks to make sure we didn't miss anything. All communications with vendors went through her, and she was willing to help as much, or as little as needed. On the day of our wedding, Stacy made sure everything looked beautiful and that we didn't have to worry about anything. She frequently checked in and made we had everything we needed, while also setting everything up. We highly recommend her to anyone.

    Could not have asked for anything more!

    Stacy was a fantastic day-of coordinator for our wedding at the Museum of Life and Science in Durham, NC! Everything went as smoothly as possible and Stacy and her team took care of everything as it came up. We also hired Stacy to do a few a la carte items - helping with design and hotels for guests. As someone who doesn't have a Pinterest account ( and had no interest in going down that rabbit hole) - Stacy used my input to create a PDF design board that I could take with me to vendor meetings - which made the planning process so much easier. I loved working with Stacy and highly recommend her.

    We loved working with Stacy as our day of coordinator! She's an absolute delight and so positive and fun, she clearly loves what she does. Stacy was excellent at coordinating and keeping everything moving. Our wedding went without a hitch thanks to her efforts. It was wonderful to be able to relax on our big day, knowing that Stacy was making sure everything was going as planned behind the scenes!

    Working with Stacy is a Dream!!

    Working with Stacy was such a breath of fresh air! She is so helpful, easy to communicate with and kept me on track amidst all the planning for my September 2018 wedding. The month leading up to the wedding is a total whirlwind, but all of the planning was worth it day of. At both my rehearsal and on my wedding day I had a number of people compliment not only how helpful Stacy was, but how calm I was! I told them the only reason I'm calm is because of Stacy! I truly could not have done it without her and I would do it all over again and wouldn't have changed a thing. My wedding day was seamless and perfect in every way. I didn't have to lift a finger either, because Stacy had thought of every little detail and ensured everything was taken care of for me! I can't recommend her enough.

    Events by Memory Lane helped to make my daughter's wedding day perfect! Stacy is professional and so personable. She flawlessly coordinated the ceremony and reception timelines. She made sure that we had taken care of all details and she confirmed details and arrival times with all vendors. Our caterer, photographer and florist all had the highest praise for Stacy and Donna and their professionalism and pleasant personalities. We were able to relax and enjoy the wedding day knowing that Stacy and Donna were incomplete control of all of the details. I can't believe we questioned the need for a wedding day coordinator. We never could have managed all the details and enjoyed the day without their services. Events by Memory Lane helped to give my daughter and her husband the wedding of their dreams!

    Stacy was such a joy to work with. She is so sweet and really takes the time to listen to what you envision for your big day. I had seen her in action prior to hiring at one of my friend's weddings and did such a wonderful job there that I knew I had to have her as my day-of coordinator for my wedding. She was on top of everything throughout the planning process and would send me reminders periodically to let me know what things I needed to be getting done. Then come the big day she made sure that everything ran smoothly until the very end. My wedding was absolutely perfect and Stacy played a HUGE part in making sure that happened. I am so very thankful that I got the chance to work with her.

    Stacy was absolutely wonderful to work with! With my daughter living in another state and the wedding venue in Raleigh, I had the responsibility of coordinating a lot of the wedding details. There is no way I could have done this without Stacy. My daughter, and her now husband, had specific things they wanted and Stacy worked endlessly to make those particular details work. As a mother of the bride, Stacy's services were invaluable to me!

    Stacy was an immense help in planning our wedding! She was very communicative with us throughout the entire process and we were in great hands the day of the wedding. She was great at all the logistical details and made the entire process stress-free. She has a caring and positive personality. We highly recommend her for planning your wedding day!

    Choosing Events by Memory Lane was BY FAR the best decision we made when it came to our wedding. Without Stacy and her assistant, we would have been drowned in decisions and stress. We were able to enjoy the planning with her by our sides. She was always willing to provide her professional opinion, but also gave us her personal opinion when we asked to help guide us. We chose the middle/ full package and it was definitely worth every penny. Some stress arose on the day of and she did not let it hinder the wonderful day it was supposed to be. Your wedding day is supposed to be a day that you’ll always remember for the rest of your lives, and Events by Memory Lane truly made that happen to the fullest. She was very professional, but I felt like I could go to her with anything almost like a sister.

    After talking with 5 other wedding planners in the Raleigh/Durham area, I found Stacy and fell in love with her bright and bubbly personality and approach to wedding planning. She is adorable and just the person my husband and I needed to guide us through the wedding planning gauntlet. Stacy is energetic, kind, and fun to be around. She was very clear about the services she offered and the level of help she would provide (something that I found lacking and/or confusing with the other planners I spoke with). Finding a planner alone was exhausting and I really just wanted to do all the fun parts of wedding planning (floral design, tastings, etc.) and not the boring, tedious stuff (contacting vendors, quotes, price comparisons, reading 15 million reviews, asking the right questions, scheduling meetings etc.). My husband and I opted for Stacy’s partial planning services and she made the entire 11-month process so much fun.

    Stacy was always on our side. If I didn’t like something, or felt like a vendor and I weren’t seeing the same “vision”, I could always pull Stacy aside or call her, tell her exactly what I was thinking without holding back or feeling judged, and she would wave her magic wand and fix it. This girl will have your back. She will take the heat if necessary. She is there for you and no one else (read: parents, opinionated wedding party etc.). She took notes and recapped all of our planning meetings in organized emails so all of our vendors were on the same page. She listened to all of my crazy ideas and jumped headfirst into making them a reality. She followed up with vendors and made sure I got everything we had discussed. She executed our wedding day flawlessly. We ran on time the entire day, I got all the pictures that I wanted, and I didn’t have to tell anyone to do anything. You, your husband, and the MOB will thank yourselves after the wedding if you hire Stacy. She is a truly phenomenal wedding planner!

    There are not enough adjectives to describe how wonderful Stacy of Events by Memory Lane was to work with. She was such a delightful and calming presence on our wedding day. Stacy was our Day-of-Coordinator which allowed my mom and myself (the bride) to take a step back the day of the wedding to truly enjoy the day and not worry about the vendors arrival and set-up, in addition to any problems that arose during the day. Stacy was a joy to work with leading up to the wedding day as well and was so accommodating in meeting us at convenient times and locations to talk through the details of my big day. Even our minister who has performed a large number of weddings over his career complimented Stacy on her calm demeanor and can-do attitude. We knew Stacy was the right fit after our first meeting with her!

    "I am so thankful for the day we found Stacy! She did a fantastic job with my daughter Lauren's wedding. She really listened to what Lauren wanted and then took the lead on making it all come together. She guided when we needed suggestions. She has great contacts and makes good, well researched recommendations. She handled lots of paperwork and that was all before the big day! On the wedding day she took care of everything! I was able to fully enjoy my daughter's wedding and not worry about a thing. And Stacy is a wonderful person - we had many laughs through the stressful moments. She is caring and very professional. I highly recommend Events by Memory Lane."

    This review is long overdue, but we absolutely LOVED working with Stacy and could not imagine our wedding day without all of her help and support. At first, my husband and I were a bit dubious about spending more on extra services, but we very quickly found out we were a bit in over our heads. In fact, after we originally brought on Stacy to help with just the day-of planning, but then as time wore on, we realized we needed to bump up to the full package and it was worth every penny and then some.

    Stacy strikes a fantastic balance of energy/excitement while also being able to calm us down during our most stressed out moments. She quickly sorted out issues for us, including a last minute change in our venue's tear-down timing which had my husband and I freaking out. She had it completely handled along with countless other tiny details and I'm sure other items that we never even heard about. So thankful that we picked Stacy and our day would not have been as amazingly wonderful as it was without her! THANK YOU STACY!!!

    I can't say enough about Stacy and Events by Memory Lane. My wedding couldn't have happened without her! Stacy is incredibly upbeat, helpful, professional and organized. As my day-of coordinator, she went above and beyond and executed my vision perfectly. She also provided support well before the day of and took all the stress of the big day away. She is the wedding vendor that I most strongly recommend!!!
