Awarded Best of Zola
I had the honor of working alongside Lauren for Abby and Mike's wedding in Colorado. As a filmmaker and photographer who has worked with so many other vendors, I can honestly say that Lauren is one of a kind and is a brilliant wedding planner and day of coordinator. What I love most about Lauren is that she is so much more than her job title. She will serve you and your guests in any way that she can and she always puts others before herself. Lauren is hard working, has an eye for detail, deeply cares for people, and she knows how to take charge. Lauren thinks of the small details and always has your best interests in mind. She cares for details that as a bride or groom, you may not have time to focus on during your wedding day. I have to add that Lauren is also incredibly prepared. She has an entire emergency kit built up for any and all of your wedding day needs. I admire Lauren and her business because she is someone who does not settle and is always looking for ways to improve herself and her work. Lauren is a wonderful communicator as well. She made communication between myself and the other vendors completely seamless. I'm so grateful I had the opportunity to work alongside Lauren and I would choose to do so again and again if I could. I highly recommend working with Lauren and the rest of her team, they're absolutely amazing!

Morgan & Paula were absolutely amazing to work with - Morgan was especially attentive to detail and so patient with me as I worked out my vision for my wedding. And then they brought it to life by executing everything so beautifully! Plus, they’re so much fun! It was great talking to them on the phone, meeting up for site visits, and having them there on the wedding day! Booking Elizabeth & Leigh as our florist was one of the best decisions we made for our day and I couldn’t recommend them more.

April Hertz Coordination Services

  • Serves Dubuque, IA for additional fees

Weddings can be overwhelming, but at April Hertz Coordination Services, we truly understand the stress that comes with planning and executing your special day. Our goal is to lighten your load, allowing you to fully focus on marrying the love of your life. Trust us to handle all the coordination and planning services, ensuring a seamless and unforgettable wedding experience for you.

April is an exceptionally kind person who goes above and beyond for her brides and truly becomes a sounding board and friend throughout your planning process. She navigated an Indian-Western cultural fusion wedding, family dynamics, and eight days of events across two states, even flying to North Carolina because we saw how much we needed her when we did our MI wedding. Without a doubt she added so much to our event in terms of putting my mind at ease and as someone who doesn't trust others with her details easily, I found April was well worth the investment. We're already planning to reach out to April for a future vow renewal and have recommended her to friends and family!

OUR ORIGINAL WEDDING PLANNER UNFORTUNATELY HAD TO BACK OUT JUST I WEEK BEFORE OUR BIG DAY.

SHE WAS ABLE TO MEET WITH US BEFOREHAND AND ORGANIZE EVERYTHING FROM TIMELINE, VENDORS, DECORATIONS, AND DETAILS I HADN'T EVEN THOUGHT ABOUT! SHE ALSO CAME TO HELP US DURING OUR REHEARSAL DINNER TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING RAN SMOOTHLY. ON THE WEDDING DAY. CONNOR WAS EXTREMELY PROFESSIONAL AND MADE SURE TO PRIORITIES MY WANTS FOR THE DAY OVER EVERYBODY ELSE! ONE OF MY PRIORITIES WAS THAT GUESTS DID NOT ENTER THE VENUE BEFORE A CERTAIN TIME, AND WHEN GUESTS STARTED SHOWING UP EARLY CONNOR RESPECTFULLY TOLD THEM TO WAIT OUTSIDE AS SHE KNEW THAT WAS IMPORTANT TO ME. SHE ALSO CONTINUALLY UPDATED ME THROUGHOUT THE GETTING READY PROCESS WITH HOW THE DECORATIONS WERE LOOKING, ASKED ME QUESTIONS ABOUT PREFERENCES, AND MADE SURE I ALSO HAD EVERYTHING I NEEDED! THE REST OF THE CEREMONY AND RECEPTION WENT INCREDIBLY SMOOTH AND SHE WAS QUICK TO HELP TEAR DOWN THE VENUE AND RETURN ALL THE DECORATIONS TO THEIR PROPER PLACE. SO THANKFUL FOR HER HELP AND WOULD ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND HER TO ANYONE

I love planning - like seriously, love it! I started seeing how friends and family were so stressed out about their weddings and wanted so badly to help. Who likes seeing the people they care about struggling and stressed out? After the first few times helping with their big days, I knew this was my passion. I truly enjoy giving people the ability to enjoy their day. I love spending time with my husband attending sporting events, playing softball, camping, and loving our fur children. I absolutely LOVE traveling, especially to DISNEY! Event planning makes me happy and I am passionate about bringing joy to your big day!

Awarded Best of Zola

I have been coordinating events for 5+ years and fell in love with the methodical creation that comes from planning each different event. Each event is different and has it's own challenges which makes the entire process that much more exciting.

Audrei was so attentive to what we wanted our big day to look like. She was the coordinator the day of our wedding and I don’t know that I could have found anyone better to ensure my vision was kept and everything ran smoothly.

  • Serves Dubuque, IA for additional fees

From beginning to end, our team approaches every moment with you in mind. We stand by the belief that no occasion is too big or too small to be handled the utmost level of care and professionalism. Memories and love last a lifetime.

Jacki and her team are simply fabulous! There is so much more to hair and makeup services than simply making you look and feel your best, though they will do that too! Just as important is Jacki's understanding of wedding days and special events, their timelines, working with other vendors as a team, and how best to be able to touch up your makeup throughout the day (esp those lips!) and making sure you look fresh! She takes care to listen to her clients' needs rather than choosing what style to use. Jacki is just one of the kindest, most lighthearted and fun wedding professionals out there. She would be a great addition to your wedding team and be an amazing way to start your day!

I had SSE & their Pine Wedding Management package but I wish I would’ve hired them for more. I am a professional photographer and worked with them as a vendor first and KNEW I had to have them on my side when I got married!! Their professionalism and organization is top tier. The SSE team was incredible with contact before and on my wedding, planning, organizing, setting up, and running the whole thing. They have helpful tips and recommendations on anything your wedding day may need and will help with it all. They made my brunch wedding day come true, kept everything on time while also being kind, professional, and FUN with all our guests and family! They were there from start to finish with smiles on their faces. I recommend this team to any bride & groom with full confidence every time!
