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! 

Scroll down to learn more about each of the bomb-ass members of my team.

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

The TGT Jane-of-all-trades, Justine has been with The Get Together Events Co. since just after it’s inception, working on weddings in Montauk, Manhattan, Brooklyn, and deeper Brooklyn. Justine specializes in joy-filled, DIY infused, dance-heavy weddings where having fun and getting hitched are the two goals of the day. By the end of the wedding, she will be your mom and your flower girl’s best friend.

A native New Yorker and fellow midwesterner by choice (Go Hoosiers!) with a background in production and theater, Justine has a love of oversized sweaters, gluten free bagels that actually taste like real bagels, and her lil dog Toby.
