Hello! I’m Lorell, and I own i do Events, the cutest, little wedding planning company in Anchorage, Alaska! I’m a California girl who moved to Alaska in 2009. I tell people that I moved to Alaska for love! I know, kind of cheesy but it’s true! When I moved here, I took a job with a conference planning company and found my passion for event planning. It felt different being on the other side, being the point person who handled ALL the logistics, not just a small part of it. Having this new job sparked something in me that I never knew existed…being a wedding planner! Yep! So that’s when I decided to open my own company in 2011.

“Lorell was the perfect wedding planner on so many levels. She is extremely professional, organized, and patient -- what everyone needs from their planner. Things that made her stand out: She allows for unlimited emailing and contact throughout the process and didn't feel like she was "gatekeeping" information just because we didn't get a larger package We didn't feel like a trend or something she could post on instagram just to further her work -- she was invested in us and our needs She values other Alaskan wedding vendors greatly and that is just a general positive sign of her loyalty, support, and never ending feeling of "I have your back" More on the "I have your back", it was so strong and I felt like I had someone on our team, looking out for our best interests and ensured we got what we were looking for within our budget She also has a lot of experience which put me at ease the day of because if anything went wrong I knew she was going to be able to handle it. She recommended the perfect vendors for us and helped assemble a team that she knew would lead the perfect day. She also made great recommendations to get the decor exactly where we wanted and within budget. Lorell provides two website services to help establish a formal timeline that is shared with vendors and a separate site for the vision, resources, and a place to set up your layout. You get a lot for your money! The day of the wedding we didn't have to worry about anything and it came out exactly how we discussed and planned for. She helped give us the perfect wedding 11/10.”

“My partner and I were married late summer 2024 and we (and our guests) couldn’t stop raving about Ariel and her team. Ariel went above and beyond to make our day run so smoothly. From set up, to greeting and paying vendors, to tear down, we were able to be so present in a day that could have been so stressful because we knew we were in great hands. We debated whether or not we would hire a day of coordinator and Xtraordinary Coordinations turned out to be the most important vendor of our special day! In the lead up to our day, Ariel met with us several times (including a venue walkthrough) and is so personable and charismatic, the meetings that could have been really stressful were actually really fun! I wish I was having another wedding so I could hire Xtraordinary Coordinations again!”

We understand that your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life, and we are committed to making it perfect in every way.

“Brianna and Karin were absolute rockstars! They took on a super difficult task due to the nature of the venue -- an DIY outdoor center with no cell phone reception, and key sites separated by a 0.3 mile gravel path, plus literally 7 different locations for all the different events (rehearsal, his and hers getting ready, ceremony, reception, cocktail hour, and food storage cabin). Oh, also the venue team has never hosted a wedding before!!! B&K handled it perfectly. I truly don't know what we would have done without them. Thank you for helping make it such a truly unique and special day.”

“Grace Lee Events is the best!!! She is efficient, organized, and prepared for anything that may happen on your special day. She made sure I was taken care of and felt no stress whatsoever! I gave her a list of pictures I wanted taken because we only had a short amount of time to get them done and she handled it all, made sure it was done how I wanted it done and answered any and all questions my friends and family had throughout the day. She also handled all of my florals on my tables and made sure they were set out how I wanted. Anything you need, Grace can do. Grace is the person to hire for your wedding & I could not recommend her enough!!”
