  She's a planner, a therapist, a friend... and so much more!

  Where do I even begin?! I hired Lauren to be my wedding planner just before COVID. I already had my venue and I had a very clear vision for my wedding. As a former event planner myself, I had high expectations for this aspect of my wedding.
  
  Throughout one postponement and over 2 years of planning, Lauren met every single expectation. I expected the quality service that she and her team delivered, but what I didn't expect was the friendship I would gain along the way.
  
  Beyond being professional, available, well-connected, up to date about event restrictions in the Bay Area, and knowledgeable about vendors, Lauren is one of the kindest souls I have ever encountered. She perfectly balances a "get it done" attitude with care and grace. To say that Lauren kept me sane throughout the crazy process of planning a wedding would be an understatement. She made the stressful process FUN. I almost want to plan another wedding so I have an excuse to text her incessantly again...

  Amazing Wedding Planner!!

  My husband and I decided to hire Sydney Camille Events for our wedding (we did the month of package) and we are so glad that we did! There are so many things about SCE that made our special day worry free. From our first meeting with Christa, we knew that she was going to be an amazing planner based on her outgoing personality, excitement and honesty of wedding planning. We provided her with our initial vision, discussed different budget options, ideas and loved how she was completely realistic and attentive to our needs.
  
  As our special day approached, we worked very closely with Christa on finalizing all the fine details of our wedding day and rehearsal dinner (vendors, etc). A week before the event, we heavily monitored the weather and were completely bummed when we realized rain was very likely for our ceremony under the redwoods. Just when panic set in, Christa reminded us "it's good luck to rain on your wedding day". Christa's absolute cheery and calm demeanor assured us that our day would not be ruined despite the rain. She helped us come up with a contingency plan and jumped right into action, making phone calls to different rental companies looking for a tent and helped to secure one very last minute. When we were ordering every clear bubble umbrella in a 50 mile radius, she was very kind to pick up additional ones near her home. There wasn't anything she wasn't willing to do.
  
  Once our wedding weekend started, Christa's amazing multi-tasking skills, organization and attention to detail came into play. She assisted with our rehearsal, making it run smoothly and completely stress free. She put my mom's worry to rest and had the rehearsal dinner set up beautifully.
  
  On our wedding day, Christa and her assistant worked their wedding magic. They turned our vision into more than we could have imagined. From the gorgeous set up of the tent, to the decor in the reception hall, dessert table, welcome table etc, we were quite impressed and in awe when we saw it for the first time.
  
  So many people complimented us on how smoothly our event went and that is a true testament to Christa's amazing professionalism, planning, and coordination. We absolutely adore Christa, and would love to work with her again for future events. We wish we could give her 1000 stars!!

  So great working with Lauren!

  Me and partner finally had our wedding after 2 date changes and 1 venue change, and Lauren was with us through it all. She was always very responsive, super patient with all of our questions (and we had a lot of questions!), and really helped us navigate the whole process of choosing vendors, booking rentals, etc etc. She was also very respectful of our wedding budget, which we truly appreciated.
  
  As for the day of, she and her team were amazing -- they knew exactly where all of our homemade decorations should go, set up our tables, even arranged some impromptu bridesmaids/bridal bouquets for our wedding photos because our flower delivery was nowhere in sight! They were seriously prepared for anything - even had bug spray for us when mosquitoes unexpectedly came out, and helped do a last minute alcohol run when they realized we were running low! So many of our guests commented on how smoothly the wedding went and how enjoyable and on-time the ceremony was. My partner and I had more fun than we even thought we could on our wedding day, and a large part of that is because we had zero wedding planning stress with Lauren and her team looking out for us.
  
  Looking back, I'm so glad we decided to get a wedding planner, and that we got the opportunity to work with Lauren for our special day :) She's seriously a superwoman.

  The best wedding planner ever

  Lauren is the fairy godmother every bride needs. She is seriously amazing in so many ways. From the beginning, Lauren was super professional and knows exactly what needs to be done in planning a whole wedding. I was so glad to have her take care of things. She's super responsive and will get things done. On the day of, Lauren and her team rocked. Everything went so smoothly and I had a great time because I knew Lauren was taking care of everything. If you want to actually enjoy your wedding, you need to hire Lauren to plan your whole wedding, but at the very least coordinate your day. I really couldn't have asked for a better wedding planner and now will recommend her to all my friends.

  Working within the wedding industry as a planner, Lauren has naturally built great relationships with florists, DJs, lighting partners, caterers, venue partners, calligraphists, print shops, and a bunch of other types vendors. Because she's built such great rapport with them and continuously brings them business, most of these vendors are able to provide brides/grooms with discounted pricing. Like most vendors she introduced us to, we did consultations/intros and explored the options in working within our budget. However, we did have some vendors in mind that we knew we wanted to commit to that Lauren hadn't worked with before, and she was incredibly open and flexible in going with our flow, even after introducing us to her contacts.
  
  There are so many moving parts and check-ins that need to happen with all your vendors before everything takes place and it can become overwhelming when you stack that on top of your personal worries and to-dos with family and friends prior to the wedding. Having Lauren take care of all of that was the best stress reliever we could've asked for - I'm usually one who loves to be cc'd on emails, but having those out of sight, really kept it as out of mind as it could possibly be in the days leading up. As a bride/groom, you really don't want to know every single bad detail that happens, especially if it can be an easy fix -- trust me, it's not worth the energy!
  
  Having Lauren + team on-site -- people who are 100% familiar with our vision and plans for decór and programming -- was SO important and valuable. The day-of coordinator that your venue will provide has no idea what your vision is unless you take the time to tell them and as a bride/groom, you don't want to put yourself through explaining 1-2+ years worth of planning into a 1 hour meeting, phone call, or email.
  
  Lauren ensured everything would run smoothly and that not one bit of bad news would reach mine and my husband's ears that day and she definitely delivered.

  Lauren helped me to plan a fantastic event for my son's first birthday - it was so professionally done that many of my guests asked if there was a wedding happening as well!
  
  I found Lauren through a referral and was so impressed with her at every step of the way. On our initial call, she asked really great questions about what type of an event we wanted to have and what was a reasonable budget. She came up with some great suggestions. She reached out to caterers and discussed different menu options. She hired the staff to help at the party including the bartender so I didn't have to. She helped me think through every detail including placement of the tables to making sure we had enough serving trays. She was my right and left hands and I felt so confident bouncing ideas back and forth with her.
  
  Planning events is more stressful than it should be. They are also very personal experiences and we create them to share special moments and to create memories. I didn't want someone to do it all for me, but I definitely needed someone to help me think through the details and to be the expert. Lauren eased every step of the process. She was responsive, reliable, and so energetic throughout the entire process.
  
  Lauren helped make our little guy's big day memorable for us and I can't begin to thank her enough.
