LAUREN SCHAEFER (SHE/HER)
FOUNDEr | LOgistics lead | event manager
NEW YORK + NASHVILLE + CHICAGO + BEYOND

Hey y'all! I'm Lauren. As a TGT client, I work with you alongside my team as we iron out all the details of your day and create organizational documents that dreams are made of. As the leader of the merry band of managers, I've selected and trained this team (hard) to be an extension of myself, providing the organization, relief, and FUN that this company was built on. 

While my journey to wedding coordination was not planned (ha! how ironic), after years in large-scale, non-profit events, I can't imagine my life anywhere else. The ability to have a personal impact on two humans’ lives, is the greatest honor of MY life. I look forward to working with y'all!

DEVON McLEOD (SHE/HER)
LOGISTICS LEAD | event manager
NEW YORK + NASHVILLE + CHICAGO + BEYOND

Hello hello beautiful people, Devon here! Having grown up in a family-led corporation, I’ve had an understanding and appreciation for the importance of good organization and true partnership to get things done since I was very young. From New York City Ballet where I worked in Development and Special Events for 5 years, to my time in e-commerce where I created large scale conference activations and premium client experiences, I have carried my number one value, which is “Joy should be the standard.” It is such a thrill to marry (see what I did there) my love of love and my love of smooth operations to make your wedding the easiest, most magical day possible. Get ready for soooo many exclamation points and emojis as I make sure that not only is your wedding all you hoped for, but that we will have so much fun getting there!
