"Laura and her amazing assistant Ashley lifted the stress of planning a wedding off our shoulders from the start. After our first meeting with Laura, we knew we were in the best hands. She is organized, calm, knowledgeable, has excellent communication, and thoughtful down to every detail. Laura & team coordinated communication between vendors, hosted meetings, kept track of contracts, all while keeping us updated of near term actions along the way to meet our timeline. She consistently checked in on us and offered the best suggestions to make sure our wedding was exactly how we envisioned it. We truly do not know how we would have done this without LDE!!"
