Testimonials
Working with Vanessa made the process so easy and care free, you would have never guessed it was all put together so quickly, especially with the extent of detail and care that was put into it. All night long our guests were coming up to us saying how dreamy and whimsical and amazing everything was and how the decor just made you feel the love in the atmosphere.

Testimonials
Let me first say that I interviewed 3 wedding planners in person and spoke with at least 3 more over the phone before hiring Lindsay. I myself am a detail oriented person by nature so, I had a really tough time finding just the right person to help coordinate our wedding day. I basically needed someone who can handle my unhealthy need for perfection. :) We needed someone who was calm and relaxed under pressure, but smart and tough enough to make decisions and give vendors direction on the wedding day. Most importantly though, I needed to find someone who my fiancee (now husband) Randy would actually like! Randy made it very clear that he had been in many weddings and hadn't liked a single coordinator he had ever crossed paths with. In his opinion, all wedding coordinators were bossy, mean, control freaks...his idea of a nightmare! Lindsay and her team were so NOT what Randy had feared...he kept saying he couldn't believe they were so nice and still able to do a great job keeping us on schedule and making things run smoothly. Things weren't perfect on our wedding day...a guest fell down a flight of stairs, I ran late, my husband's mom forgot her dress at the hotel...but Lindsay and her team never missed a beat and kept us all calm and collected. Lindsay and her team ROCK and we will be forever grateful to them. Weddings are a big investment that you'll always remember -- I can confidently say that with LVL you and your guests will be in great hands!

Feeling overwhelmed by wedding planning? Help is only a click away! Wedding consultants specialize in handling the details, vendors, timelines, and to-do lists that can make even the most organized bride need a vacation!

Most wedding consultants offer at least two levels of planning service: Full Service and Day-of Coordination. A full service wedding planner will help you design your theme, create your budget, select your venue, hire your vendors, negotiate contracts, organize your rehearsal, arrange all the last-minute details, and make sure your wedding day itself is flawless. A day-of coordinator will typically meet with you 3-4 weeks before your wedding to help finalize the wedding day timeline, then will orchestrate the day itself. When you hire a day-of wedding planner, you are still personally responsible for selecting and orchestrating your vendors, details, and rehearsal.Girl Flowergirl Art LA Wedding Coordinator Planner

Tips for finding your consultant:

  • Look for a good personality fit. You will be working with your wedding planner during many stressful moments, and you want someone at your side that you like and respect.
  • Discuss any expectations you have up front and before signing a contract. For example, if you are hiring a full service wedding planner, how often do you expect to get together in person? How accessible do you expect him or her to be via phone? What are the decisions you are responsible for making on your own? How will they communicate with you during the months leading up to the wedding day to ensure that everything is happening on schedule?
  • There is no substitute for experience. Find out the number of weddings the consultant has planned, the number of years in business, and the experience he or she may have had at your venue.
  • If you have any unique cultural elements to your wedding, make sure your consultant is familiar with the customs.
  • Beopen and honest with your consultant. If you can share your concerns or fears regarding the wedding, they will be best prepared to orchestrate the day perfectly.
  • Be realistic. A consultant can make your life much, much easier, but they can’t make all the decisions for you, or make your crazy uncle behave at the wedding, or persuade your single groomsmen to stop hitting on the bridesmaids. When it finally arrives, just relax and enjoy your day!
