    Laura Ann: A Dream Maker (Event - Rehearsal Dinner)

    We had the pleasure of working with Laura Ann for our son's wedding rehearsal dinner, and it was an experience we'll cherish forever. From the beginning, Laura was incredibly easy to talk to, making the entire planning process seamless and enjoyable. She has this unique ability to listen intently, capturing our vision with such precision that the end result felt as if it had been plucked directly from our dreams.
    What set Laura apart was her personal touch. She took the time to ask questions and really listen to our answers, ensuring that every aspect of the event reflected our personalities and style. Her creativity and attention to detail transformed our ideas into an elegant and beautifully curated evening.
    Laura Ann not only met our expectations but exceeded them in every possible way. The event was not just elegant; it was personal, meaningful, and a true reflection of us, thanks to Laura's dedication and talent. We couldn't have asked for a better partner in bringing our vision to life for such an important occasion.

    The best of the best!

    I struggle to find the right words to convey my immense gratitude for LauraAnn. From the moment I mentioned the location for our wedding, I knew she was the perfect match. Having previously managed the house we rented, LauraAnn knew every detail inside and out. Our vision was a simple beach wedding with personalized touches, and LauraAnn helped bring every aspect to life.

    She thought through every detail, from ensuring we had a friend to watch over our 2-year-old daughter on the beach to picking the right pens for our surfboard guestbook. On the day of the wedding, all I had to do was place my decorations on a table, and she effortlessly transformed my vision into reality. She worked tirelessly throughout the day, even changing outfits three times!

    LauraAnn is not just a professional; she is also compassionate, passionate, detail-oriented, and an all-around amazing person. I cannot praise her enough. Whether you need a day-of planner or a full wedding planner, LauraAnn is the one you want by your side

    She made our dreams come true

    Laura Ann is absolutely amazing! She made every phase of planning so easy and was there every step of the way. Everything about our day was perfect, I told her our vision and she made it happen. I cannot imagine planning our wedding without Laura Ann by our sides. If you are looking for someone who is easy to get along with, who genuinely cares and wants your day to be perfect, and who jumps in to help with anything and everything at a moments notice Laura Ann is your girl.

    We would recommend 1000%. Being able to plan throughout two years and make the process so effortless for us was amazing. Our day was so smooth and we couldn’t have done it without LauraAnn. Everything about our day was perfect! LauraAnn is so dedicated and hard working and we couldn’t have done this without her!

    Cannot recommend her enough!!!

    Laura Ann was a God send. We were planning a wedding from 7 hours away and she made every step of the process SO much easier. She was always accessible to chat, had so many great recommendations, and kept a very comprehensive list of things that needed to be done and by when- which if you’ve ever planned a wedding you know this is a must. She made sure we had every detail solidified, and she made sure everything went off without a hitch. I can never thank her enough for making our wedding the perfect day! I would recommend her to anyone and everyone!

    Added So Much Value & A Pleasure to Work With

    I found Laura Ann by just googling "Ocean Isle weddings", and boy am I glad I did. I was charged with planning my parent's 50th anniversary party and vow renewal. We knew we wanted it to be down at their beach house, and that we wanted a private family only dinner before hand, but that was about it. So I was planning this party remotely and I didn't really know where to start. I started out thinking I wanted to work with Laura Ann on a consulting only basis, just to recommend vendors in her area. But from our very first phone call she was adding so much value, giving me great ideas about how to structure and execute the event, it wasn't long before I had also hired her to officiate the vow renewal and coordinate on the day of for us. She was an absolute delight to work with. Quickly understood the look and feel we wanted for the event. Put together a slide deck that kept our ideas organized and efficiently communicated. Was always readily available via text or a call for questions or encouragement or to bounce an idea off of. And dealt with the various personalities of quirks of family with tons of grace and ease. I highly recommend working with Laura Ann and will certainly turn to her for any future event planning needs I have. She made event planning that could have been quite stressful feel fun and easy. And our event turned out beautifully. I got so many compliments about how it all came together.

    Made the day amazing!

    This was my first time using a wedding planner and I can't say enough about all that she helped me with. The wedding day was so relaxing for me while she navigated even the smallest of details. It was an amazing experience and I would recommend her from the smallest to largest gathering. Thank you!!

    10 out of 10 amazing experience!

    Working with Laura Ann to plan our wedding was the best decision we could have made. She is worth her weight in gold for all that she helped with in the planning process, day of coordination, and post wedding follow up. I found her rates to be very reasonable for the service she provides. She brings a personal, genuine touch to every interaction. The vendor recommendations she made were spot on and she coordinated all the details with them throughout. If you are on the fence about hiring Laura Ann as your wedding planner - just do it! You will be so glad you did.

    No. 1 wedding planner in the Coastal Carolinas

    LauraAnn is amazing! if your stressed out about anything, just call her right away and she'll take care of it! Knowing that your wedding planner goes above and beyond the call of duty to make everything perfect is so comforting. She truly cares about her clients and will make you feel like you are the only person she is working with even though I know she is very busy and in high demand. I can not recommend a better or more professional planner than LauraAnn. She is very organized, punctual, a wealth of knowledge with years of experience. With the limited options of wedding planners based in Ocean Isle Beach, NC I am so glad I found her! Laura Ann also works weddings in Wilmington, NC, Myrtle Beach, SC and beyond. Do not hesitate, just hire her, you will not regret it!

    LauraAnn and her team are Amazing!

    My daughter and I thought we could handle planning her destination wedding. It was just a few months prior to the wedding that we came to the realization that this job was much bigger than what we are qualified for.
    So Hannah looked around and we are so thankful the stars aligned and LauraAnn was available (May have helped that wedding took place on a Thursday).
    It was a huge stress reliever and such blessing to have worked with LauraAnn. The amount of quality time she spent with Hannah and Seth to bring their vision of their wedding day to life was nothing short of amazing and it is very evident that she knows her job and this industry extremely well. LauraAnn went above and beyond to make every last little detail so special and it definitely did not go unnoticed. I’m in complete awe that she was willing to make those last minute, not kidding (day before wedding), big changes without hesitation. The wedding was flawless, magical and so so beautiful. I 100% recommend LauraAnn and her team for any type of event you need (or don’t think you need) assistance with.

    LauraAnn knows the business. She executes not only with clients as individuals but is recognized across platforms (photographers, DJs, etc.)

    As a wedding venue, we’ve seen LauraAnn execute small to large weddings. In moments that *should* be absolute chaos (most recently hurricane Ian)… her ceremonies are flawless— even when a hurricane cancels the rehearsal! Her experience & preparedness brings events together. Money well spent!

    The Very Best Wedding Planner EVER!!

    If you’re looking for someone to manage EVERYTHING, from the biggest detail to the little thoughtful added touches that you didn’t even know you wanted, look no further! We were faced with a Hurricane which hit the day before my daughter’s wedding, which required a last minute change in venue. You want to talk about stressful and catastrophic? Laura Ann managed it all with ease, and held my hand throughout the entire process. She rescheduled vendors and deliveries and all with a smile on her face. She was reassuring and never left us hanging for an instant. You won’t regret having her manage your event. She ends each event with a special new bond with every couple that she works with. ❤️ I can’t say it enough, she’s the very best at what she does. HIRE HER!!

    Ultimate professional

    I witness LauraAnn oversee a wedding at a new venue... two days after Hurricane Ian landed. Not only did she reassure the bride, mother, groom, wedding parties, & family... you couldn't have imagined a more flawless ceremony/celebration that followed. YES- that included completely skipping any rehearsal! Many things we cannot control (i.e. weather); don't let your special day be one of them. Vendors love her. I can only imagine the hours spent planning. Between in-depth slide decks, layouts, & constant communication; Laura Ann makes every detail count. #WORTHIT

    Would highly recommend!!

    LauraAnn is without a doubt the most organized, efficient, and helpful wedding planner out there. Planning my wedding from 3 hours away was harder than I expected but she helped me choose local vendors that fit my vision. On our wedding day i could have sworn there were two of her, she was everywhere we needed her while still making sure things were set-up, moved around, and organized - she thinks of and is prepared for everything. She worked hard to ensure that our wedding day was perfect in every way and i literally could not have done it without her!

    Simply the best…

    Laura Ann is everything you want in a wedding planner and more. Calm, cool, and well-connected. Brides and grooms (or groom & groom in our case), you’ll be stressed along the way… But have no fear, LA has things under control. She strategically paces the planning process, so you’re never unnecessarily overwhelmed with decision-making. She’s also well very connected and has a variety of vendors to accommodate every interest. No matter how outrageous our ideas… LA was able to execute (we arrived by boat and sat on a throne during dinner). And when it comes to your wedding day, expect back flips and somersaults from LA and her staff. Every. Last. Detail. LA’s simply the best. (Photos courtesy Erin Taylor Photography)

    Our beach wedding

    Wow! Where do I begin? Laura was fabulous. She was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. She created such a beautiful venue from scratch. She has so much wedding knowledge. Things I didn’t even think of she did. She worked so hard with us and making sure we stayed in our budget. The day of the wedding was flawless. I had so much down time to relax and I was never rushed. I didn’t lift a finger and she was checking in on me periodically with all the positive vibes. She was calm and everyone loved her. I can’t explain enough how incredibly happy I was to have her as my planner. She felt like a friend and a therapist. Best decision ever.

    Beach Wedding Week

    We cannot say enough about Laura Ann EvCo! It was an amazing experience. We rented a gorgeous beach house in Ocean Isle Beach, NC for our venue. We began working with Laura Ann about 18 months before the wedding. From Day 1 we knew we made the right choice. She has amazing recommendations, fabulous vendors she works with and a way about her that lets you know everything will be perfect. She helped keep us in our budget which was important. Laura Ann also made helped us make great decisions when we were undecided. We could not have had the wedding week of our dreams without Laura Ann EvCo!

    Ahhh !! Thank you so much. Love ya both and loved working every minute of the planning process. Can I just say how much I LOVED seeing your smiles and watching you with all your friends. What an amazing tribe !!

    Where do I start.......fantastic!

    Laura Ann made it happen for our daughter's wedding. Her knowledge of local vendors / suppliers really made the difference in the success of our wedding. She was organized, responsive, and did everything possible to make our event as easy possible. She handled the planning extremely well, but the key was her calm and organized style when it game to game time! We cannot thank her enough for the amazing job she did and hope to be back with daughter 2 and 3!! Thanks again Laura Ann for making the event so beautiful.

    Laura is amazing

    Hiring Laura Ann was the best thing I could have done for my destination wedding! She went above and beyond during the entire wedding planning process. She stayed in contact with me, especially during the craziness and unknown of COVID. She connected me with amazing vendors, assisted with my contracts, keeping them updated and so much more. The day of the wedding, she handled everything - things went beautifully and smoothly and I have her to thank for that. She’s done an amazing job for our wedding & I am so thankful for her. I would highly recommend hiring her for your wedding planning!!

    Laura Ann EvCo's reply:

    My amazing and sweet Ashley ! I adore you and your family. Thank you so much. We had so much fun at your wedding, what a great group and a true testament to all the love and support they have for you both. I do need to give a shout out to Dad ... what a Rockstar ! You and the entire family as so blessed to have him.
