Lauren Portia Events

Lauren was amazing !! If you're planning a destination wedding, we highly recommend hiring Lauren from the start. We planned a wedding in Italy that was more challenging than your typical wedding because of venue and vendor specifics. Lauren went above and beyond to help work through various difficulties and move things forward at points where we were out of ideas.
Lauren helped to not only manage the situation but to also take a lot of the stress away from us in the process. The wedding itself came together even better than we could have imagined and we have Lauren to thank. She will give you the best day!

Working with Lauren was truly one of the most incredible experiences. She is organized, smart, efficient, incredibly thoughtful, and has the most exquisite taste. She brought my vision to life and then some, and was the ultimate “yes woman” - there was never a moment where she made me feel like something wasn’t possible. She always found a way to make it happen.

Lauren was always prepared for every meeting, incredibly communicative, and did an amazing job making sure our vendors understood exactly what we wanted. She somehow managed to make the entire planning process feel seamless and exciting, while also being someone I could completely trust with every detail.

On our wedding day, Lauren truly everything I could have hoped for in a planner. She was such a calming presence and handled every little detail behind the scenes, which allowed my husband and me to simply be present, soak it all in, and focus on each other. Knowing she had everything under control was the greatest gift.

Beyond how incredible she is at what she does, Lauren is just such a wonderful person. It was the biggest pleasure getting to work with her, and I genuinely miss chatting with her every day. She is the absolute best of the best, and if you ever have the opportunity to work with Lauren, TAKE IT. You will be so incredibly lucky to have her in your corner.

Lauren is absolutely exceptional at what she does. We didn’t have a firm vision for our wedding and she was great at presenting us with options and ideas. She made big tasks like finding a venue and our key vendors very easy and seamless, and I can’t even begin to estimate how many hours she saved us had we been doing it for ourselves. Lauren is incredibly organised and ensures everything is done in good time, keeping track of contracts and payments, budgeting for us, and communicating clearly for the entirety. On the day, she worked so hard behind the scenes to ensure everything was absolutely seamless and we couldn’t be more grateful for her professionalism and support. We couldn't recommend Lauren enough - you will not regret enlisting her to guide you through every detail of your wedding.

Lauren made my wedding and the whole planning so stress free for us as a couple. She set up the venue perfectly, ensured the timeline went smoothly and pulled off the best wedding EVER! I couldn't recommend Lauren enough. She listened to our vision and came back with amazing options for us to chose from, taking away so much stress from us. EVERYONE NEEDS A LAUREN!

I can’t recommend Lauren highly enough. From day one, she just got the vision I had in mind and somehow made it even better. I was initially a bit worried about sticking to our budget, but she managed it so well without compromising on quality or vibe - it all came together perfectly.

Our wedding was a blend of British, Persian and Indian culture and Lauren captured this to a T. Every detail, from the decor to some of the ideas, honored our cultures in a way that felt thoughtful, stylish, and totally us.

Lauren went above and beyond what was in her contract, visiting our venue multiple times to help us plan things out in person. She handled every vendor with care and confidence, which was a huge weight off our shoulders. Thanks to her, I was actually able to feel excited about the wedding instead of overwhelmed by logistics. She’s incredibly detail-oriented and always happy to hop on a call when needed, but also independent enough to keep things moving without needing our input on every tiny decision. She struck the perfect balance between collaboration and leadership.

What I appreciated most was her calm but firm approach - especially when it came to pushing back with our venue, who weren't always the easiest to work with. Having her advocate for us made such a difference and allowed us to focus on the fun parts.

Truly, Lauren was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Kind, professional, creative, and incredibly capable!

Where do I even start!? Lauren was a dream to work with from start to end and I would not hesitate to recommend her as a wedding planner. She listened to what we wanted from our Italian wedding weekend and understood what was important to us as a couple. Her communication was second to none, and she was always at the end of the phone for our many many questions. I can honestly say Lauren took away all of the usual wedding planning stress and I don’t know what we would have done without her. Having her there on the day was an absolute no brainer… our day was everything we wanted and hoped it would be and that was all thanks to Lauren making sure everyone was where they should be at the right time. Lauren, I’ve said it 100 times already but thank you so much for everything you’ve done for us. I’m so glad we chose you as our wedding planner and grateful for all of your help throughout the journey. We wish you every success for your future! T&H x

Lauren was amazing to work with. We had done all the wedding planning ourselves and realised it was just too overwhelming and stressed. Lauren came in and understood both our mindsets from the beginning. She was incredibly polite and friendly and really understanding of our goals for our wedding. She made sure she had contingency plans for every little aspect and we both felt we could enjoy our wedding because Lauren was dealing with the schedule and plans. Our day was truly perfect with nothing going wrong and I can only thank Lauren for being there for all our vendor meetings, being a calming presence and overall just a wonderful person to work with us. Whether it was fireworks, photoshoot planning, confetti or venue setup; Lauren could handle it all! Cannot recommend Lauren enough!

Lauren is an outstanding wedding planner. From the very beginning she helped us find the venue, choose our wedding style and get organised. She has been pleasant, professional and helpful throughout the wedding planning, we could not have asked for a better planner and we’ve thoroughly enjoyed the planning process. Due to her help, we have managed to have our dream wedding, include everything we could possibly want, yet staying within our budget. We highly recommend having Lauren by your side on the wedding day as well, not only does she meticulously organise the venue, but with her positive, joyful and pleasant presence lights up the whole day. We’ve loved her suggestions and design solutions and we honestly could not have asked for a better décor and design on the day - it was better that anything we had seen on Instagram… We love Lauren and will definitely have her as our planner for any future events.

Lauren wasn't just a wedding coordinator; she was an integral part of making our special day absolutely flawless. From the very beginning, her organisation was incredible. She joined every vendor call, proactively contacted them before the wedding (which went above and beyond!), and ensured everything was meticulously planned.

On the wedding day itself, Lauren was a whirlwind of positive energy and efficiency. She kept all the vendors on track and running smoothly, ensuring everything flowed perfectly. But more importantly, she made sure we, the couple, and all our guests had a stress-free and unforgettable experience.
Her dedication and genuine care for making our vision a reality were truly heartwarming. We can't recommend Lauren Portia highly enough! If you're looking for a wedding coordinator who goes the extra mile, look no further.
Highly recommend!

We booked Lauren to help plan our destination wedding and she was amazing. She was very professional and offered lots of great tips and advice but she was also really down to earth and easy to work with. We had no clue where to begin and she broke it all into easy steps and guided us through the entire process which wasn’t easy as the wedding was outside of the UK. We had the best day ever and everything went perfectly from start to finish.

We booked Lauren as our Wedding Planner as we had chosen a dry hire venue and needed someone to help coordinate the day but also design the space.

Her creativity and attention to detail was so much more than we could have done ourselves, the venue was completely transformed beyond what we could have imagined. We had so many different suppliers and having just one point of contact made this so much easier to manage. Everything was planned to perfection.
