We cannot say enough kind words about how amazing Justine and the TGT team were in helping make our day special. Their level of professionalism was outmatched only by their warmth and kindness, and it was obvious from the get-go that we made the right choice. Justine kept us on track, helped us roll with the inevitable last minute adjustments, and we know she did way more behind the scenes so that we could focus on having fun at our wedding. If we ever have need of any event coordinator in the future, we won't even bother looking at anyone else. We cannot recommend TGT enough!

My husband and I are both extremely organized, so we initially had doubts about hiring a coordinator until our Brooklyn venue required at least a day-of coordinator under their contract. We thought we could possibly get by with asking another organized friend or family member, but ultimately we found that we needed a licensed person to do this job, and we were OVERJOYED to be 10,000% wrong about our initial thoughts. YES, you need a coordinator, and YES, it should be with TGT. There were so many moments the month of where we found ourselves muttering under our breaths, “Thank god for Justine... I’m so glad we have Justine...” We couldn’t shout any louder about how much value they added to our wedding and how wonderful they were to work with. Upon our first consultation, we were impressed by how thorough, comprehensive, and orderly Lauren was while explaining their process. They described their style as, “first one in, last one out,” and what truly cemented us wanting to hire them was their month-of “download meeting” approach — a passing of the torch which included in-depth planning documents, timeline coordination, contact sheets, decor visuals, and countless other resources. For our wedding, we worked with Justine as our lead coordinator and Jenna worked as additional help. Justine made sure we had the best experience imaginable. She is such a lovely, positive force who truly made the last month of planning easy and joyful. And Jenna was incredibly sweet and truly helped with a lot of the behind the scenes work for the day of. We also had the unique experience of being the first wedding clients at our venue, and we had pulled inspiration for serpentine reception tables that none of our vendors (namely our event manager, caterer, rental company, or TGT) had worked with before. However once we set up our download meeting, Justine and Jenna wasted no time asking questions we hadn’t even asked ourselves up until that point and making action items to figure out how to accomplish what we were envisioning. At the same time, we didn’t feel rushed or overwhelmed; they were so patient and generous with us by praising our vision, encouraging us to pursue every personable detail, and validating the wedding’s success. A week before our date, Justine told us, “We could throw this wedding tomorrow easily, and it would be beautiful.” Thank you so much to the TGT team! We highly, highly recommend working with them. They are the cream of the crop!

We had interviewed a couple of other wedding planners, but once we interviewed TGT, it was a no brainer that they were going to plan our wedding. Right from the get go, TGT's attitude, professionalism, and just overall vibe is infectious in all the right ways. Their attention to detail was unlike anything I had ever seen before, the amount of prep documents and checklists was so incredibly helpful and is really what kept us organized and on track in the midst of all the wedding planning chaos, and just the sheer sincerity and humor they brought to this oftentimes stressful process is really what kept us going. Justine and Katherine were our go to people, and not once did we feel unsupported. Justine was our logistics lead that helped us resolve every issue, dotted every i and crossed every T with the utmost precision, and relieved us of most of the stress of that final 6 week stretch. Katherine was our day of coordinator that not only wrangled our wedding party through the most chaotic of group chats, but executed our day so beautifully that everyone is still telling us almost 2 weeks later how perfectly everything went, and my husband and I couldn't agree more. Please please please hire TGT, you won't regret it.

We were totally blown away by The Get Together Events Co. from our very first intro call. We hung up confident that we were in good (fun!) hands. Justine was an absolute dream to work with. She was exactly what we needed: highly organized yet flexible, and a clear, enthusiastic communicator who managed to keep the energy up and keep us on track, all while not overwhelming us (still not sure how she did it!). Justine nudged us in the right direction, took stressful tasks off our plates, found the last-minute florist, showed up with emergency hairspray, and corralled family for photos… and did so seamlessly. On our wedding day, Justine was everywhere and nowhere – ensuring everything ran smoothly from breakfast tacos to after party tunes. We cannot recommend TGT more.

THANK YOU FOR LITERALLY EVERYTHING!!!!!! Lauren was absolutely amazing to work with and was there for me and my husband every step of the way. I didn't have to have a single thought the day of my wedding thanks to the Get Together Events team!! If you're looking for a coordinator, don't look any further than here!!

Justine and Katherine exceeded all expectations and truly made our special day unforgettable. Their attention to detail was very evident and they were a pleasure to work with. They fully took the reins on logistics and made it a stress free experience for me and my fiancé. Without a doubt, we wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone looking for a top-tier month-of coordinator.

Hiring TGT was truly the best decision that my husband and I made for our wedding day. Our venue required a month-of-coordinator (MOC), and I'm so happy that we found TGT because the month leading up to the wedding would have gone much different if we didn't have them on our team. We worked with Justine and Katherine, both of whom were delightful to work with from the very beginning. Justine kept us organized and on top of our to-do's during the weeks leading up to the wedding day while simultaneously ensuring that the complex logistics for our many vendors were taken care of. Whenever we had questions, she was quick to respond with the most positive vibes which helped relieve the planning stress. She was also an expert when it came to our venue, so having her guidance and knowledge was a huge help. On the day of, Katherine was truly a beacon of light from the start of the day until the very end. She was on top of everything that needed to be done and really made sure that we stayed on schedule throughout the entire wedding day, and all with a smile! My bridesmaids were so impressed with her professionalism as well as how communicative she was throughout the entire wedding day. She really helped us to relax, and that allowed us to enjoy our wedding to the fullest. We could not have asked for better team to work with for our wedding day. It was truly the best day ever, and we are so grateful to Justine, Katherine, and TGT for helping us make that happen.

I can't recommend The Get Together highly enough! As a producer, I had high expectations for our wedding coordinator but I was blown away by the careful attention, professional organization, and thoughtful communication of Lauren and Katherine. As soon as they came on a month before the wedding, I kept saying that things felt eerily calm and anytime I thought of something to worry about Lauren had already taken care of it. I can't believe how much effort and time they put in. The day went off without a hitch (as far as I'm aware, which is exactly what you want to say!) and we loved the kind and enthusiastic energy Lauren and Katherine brought to our planning and wedding day. We couldn't have done it without them!

Justine from TGT was absolutely INCREDIBLE; I truly could not recommend her enough!! She brought my wedding vision to life and made the process so enjoyable and stress free. She is so professional, kind, attentive to every little detail, so calming and uplifting, and made our wedding day run perfectly from start to finish. I am SO thankful for all she did for us and could not recommend her more!!!

The Get Together Events Co. was a dream to work with! Lauren is proactive and organized and incredibly thorough. After our first meeting her and our onsite coordinator Devon took over everything. All communication, scheduling and the day itself went seamlessly! Devon was so positive and fun to have with us throughout the day as well. I can't recommend the The Get Together Events Co. enough!

MEGAN + ANDREW, Nashville
We truly could not have asked for a more professional, friendly, organized, fun, creative and helpful team of people to be our month of coordinator for our wedding! Lauren was so amazing to work with from day one, helping us to stay on track by providing a recommended wedding planning timeline along with vendor recommendations and tons of other helpful resources. Once we were a month out, Haleigh also came on board and was absolutely wonderful. Haleigh was on-site the day of our wedding and did such an incredible job of making sure that everything ran as smoothly as possible. She even went above and beyond and dropped our belongings off at our house for us after the wedding so that nobody had to slip away from the after party to do so. When I tell you that I was so calm the day of my wedding, I truly mean it and it's all because of these ladies. Truly one of the best decisions we made when choosing which vendors to hire for our wedding!

Month of planning with TGT Events was by far the most worthwhile money spent for our wedding! Lauren and Rae are worth their weight in gold, and I can’t stress how grateful I am to have had them on our team. As a bride who had the majority of wedding planning on her shoulders, it was such a gift to have our TGT team come in a month out and take over for the home stretch. Lauren’s organizational skills were impeccable. She was my biggest advocate in the month leading up to the wedding! She heard all of my thoughts and requests and was able to make everything happen, all while maintaining her contagious positivity. Her expertise made every mountain into a molehill, and all the weight she took off my shoulders allowed me to start getting excited for the wedding day. I was so sick of emails towards the end of planning, but emailing Lauren was always a pleasure! Rae took charge of our entire day with such grace and efficiency; even wrangling our bridal party was a breeze with her help. Rae’s experience and knowledge of our wedding day were evident in the seamless flow of events on the day of, leaving us completely stress-free and able to enjoy every moment with our guests. We really can’t recommend TGT enough! Such wonderful people who have the biggest hearts for our biggest days. We will be thankful for them forever!

Lauren and her team were a dream to work with as month-of planners. Leading up to our wedding, communication was always open, timely and honest. They do a great job of making you feel comfortable asking for adjustments, advice and problem-solving support. We knew that if we had an ask, we could hand it to them and they'd get us options or a solution. On the day of, every little wedding detail was just as we imagined it and better. They supported our vendors and wedding party every step of the way and made everyone feel excited and comfortable. We highly recommend TGT — they are truly the professionalism, kindness, patience and expertise you want going into your wedding.

If you want a team of professionals to plan / run your event as diligently as they would their own, look no further. We picked TGT because our wedding venue required a coordinator. In hindsight, we would hire them 1000 times over, venue requirement or not. From beginning to end, Lauren and Rae worked hard to understand our vision and preferences, went to bat for us, looked after the little details, and shared their expertise. In short, they were ON IT. Aside from the stress they relieved, what was the best part of hiring The Get Together Events, you ask? Every single “when is-? what do I-? who has-? where are-? how should-?” question on our wedding day could be answered with “Rae has that covered.” Literally every question. Neither we nor our bridal party nor our family had to worry about anything outside of getting ready and being present. Are they worth the price? Definitely. Weddings get expensive, for sure, but the peace of mind they brought us was worth every penny. Thanks Lauren and Rae for a great experience!

SOPHIE + ANTARES, Brooklyn
We had a GREAT experience with TGT. We planned a lot of our wedding on our own by the 6-week-out mark when Justine (the GOAT) stepped in. she was able to review our ideas and use her event expertise to modify our plans, point out blind spots or things we didn't even think to consider, take over the reins, and ultimately bring together a seamless event. plus she was calm and positive, even in the face of our wackier ideas or items we still hadn't done at the last minute. she kept it fun and light but also underneath it all, really really organized with weekend homework assignments and centralized spreadsheets and word docs. we didn't stress about a thing the day of our wedding, all thanks to Justine. i really feel this was the best money spent in our whole wedding budget and would hire them again 100 times over.

We had our Nashville wedding at Long Hollow Gardens with Lauren as our coordinator! She was very kind and excited to help. She understood the vision we had and made it come to life much better than we could have. When we saw the cocktail hour and reception space for the first time, we were blown away! I’d recommend using her services to anyone planning a wedding in the Nashville area :)

We were so happy with our decision to use The Get Together Events for our wedding this June! Lauren and Justine were the dream team and helped us cover every little detail without stress. They were upbeat, personable and organized without being overbearing. Knowing they were on top of everything allowed us to enjoy the planning process as the days got closer and to be completely present on the day of our wedding. We would highly recommend to anyone looking to plan a wedding!

The Get Together team is nothing short of exceptional—they are true foresight geniuses. The level of detail in their meticulously crafted spreadsheets proved to be incredibly valuable for us. Justine, in particular, demonstrated an extraordinary ability to anticipate every need, seamlessly navigating the names and schedules of each family member and friend. It was truly remarkable how the entire wedding unfolded flawlessly under her watchful eye; she seemed to be everywhere at once. Having had no prior understanding of what a month-of planner's role entails, I am forever grateful for the expertise TGT brought to our special day. I cannot recommend The Get Together team enough to anyone seeking a stress-free and impeccably executed wedding experience. They go above and beyond to think of every detail, making it feel as though your planner is not just a professional, but a trusted friend.

Are you someone wondering if The Get Together Events is worth the extra spend for your big day? Do yourself the biggest favor you can and book them ASAP! Julie & Lauren were beyond a doubt, two of the best decisions Hunter and I made for our wedding.
So many of our family and friends continually commented about how relaxed we were in the lead up to the wedding and a huge reason for that was TGTE.
Julie's project management of vendors, assigning helpful "weekend homework" , to coordinating with wedding parties and VIP's and helped us keep track of all the moving pieces leading up to the wedding.
Lauren's incredible day of coordination of the wedding was beyond outstanding. She was always two steps ahead of any questions we had and kept everything in order so that we can fully enjoy the event.
Everything was perfect and we couldn't have been more grateful for the support we received from this team. They're simply the best.

KATE + JIM, Brooklyn
We cannot recommend TGT enough!! Everything at our wedding went perfectly, all because of them. We used them for month-of coordination, and it was such a relief to hand off the planning right at crunch time. They thought of everything, including things we would have never considered. Julie made incredible documents that kept us organized and sent weekly to do emails to help prevent us from feeling overwhelmed while still keeping us on track. We wish we hired them to plan the whole wedding, it would have saved us a lot of stress and anxiety! Justine and Katherine were incredible day of, and made sure that we and our guests had everything taken care of and that everything was running according to schedule. Justine informed us whenever there was something we needed to do and even reminded us to eat :) Justine also brought an upbeat, positive energy that put everyone in a good mood. Katherine went above and beyond and recorded our ceremony with my maid of honor's camera. Compared to our rehearsal dinner, where we were in charge of everything, the wedding went so well and we were free to be present with each other and our guests. Do yourself a favor and hire TGT!

VIVIAN + BRIAN, Brooklyn
Going into our wedding, we did not think we would benefit that much from having a coordinator. Our venue required that we hire a day-of / month-of coordinator and we selected The Get Together because they had worked at our venue multiple times before and their professionalism was evident from the get-go. We were incredibly pleased with our selection, and definitely appreciated having a coordinator leading up to and for the day of our wedding. While we selected them many months in advance, we officially kicked off with The Get Together about a month before the big day. They provided us several detailed shared documents that we could fill out, insert questions into and they could review and respond to. They were very responsive when we had questions, and were especially helpful in taking the reins in terms of leading communication with our other vendors (DJ, florals, venue / caterer, hair, makeup). On the day-of is when having a coordinator proved really worth it. Justine was across everything, from herding people around to pictures, to ensuring we had a couple of snacks throughout the day. She was in great spirits the whole time, and everything ran like clockwork as a result. We absolutely recommend The Get Together!

Besides the whole “getting married” part, hiring TGT was the single best decision we made throughout our wedding planning process. We reached out to The Get Together after realizing that our dream day we had planned had spun a bit off the rails, and probably required a bit of expert help to execute our vision. Immediately after connecting with Lauren and the TGT team, we felt a sigh of relief. We worked closely with them in the month leading up to our wedding to finalize all the last details — from the big stuff (“don’t forget the marriage license”) to the little details (“what are you having for breakfast?”). We’d like to think of ourselves as pretty organized people, but the attention to detail from the TGT team ensured that our day went exactly as we envisioned it without any hiccups. On the day of, our two incredible coordinators (Katherine and Jesi — we love you!!!!) flawlessly executed every moment of our day across three venues — a massive feat we never could have accomplished without them. To boot, their entire team is nothing but lovely. Their presence on our big day and the time leading up to it allowed us to really relish in what was the best day of our lives. If you’re reading this and even slightly considering hiring TGT — just do it. I promise you won’t regret it.

TGT is the best investment in your wedding – even more so than the venue or the details. If there is anything my wife and I would’ve reconsidered for our wedding, it would have been to work with Julie, Grace, and Lauren the second after I proposed. This team in one month, organized and remedied our year-long chaos, and we actually went into the wedding truly stress-free. On wedding day, the team’s preparation and experience really shone, and things that would’ve been an issue were rearranged and managed so flexibly that the whole day felt as perfect as we could’ve hoped for. I saw another review when we did our research that stated working with the TGT was like having “fairy godmothers”, and I couldn’t agree more. What they do is truly magic – with a smile.

We worked with Justine primarily for our wedding. Justine did an absolutely incredible job managing every aspect of the wedding and reporting it out to us, every step of the way, in a format that was concise and simultaneously all-encompassing. She and The Get Together Events Co. as a whole share a passion for wedding planning and management that is evident in the work they do and the way they do it. She was a blast to work with the entire time, which was impressive given the amount she was covering, especially the day of the wedding. There were so many moving pieces, and she managed them seemingly effortlessly and with positivity the whole time. I cannot recommend this company enough. They are skilled at what they do, they're affordable, and they have a good time doing it (which means you will too).

If you are even questioning on whether or not to hire The Get Together - DO IT!!! Lauren was absolutely incredible for a 2023 corporate holiday party we had and it was a huge success - all thanks to her!
Lauren is very well organized, well experienced and all around joy to work with! Lauren touched every asset of our event to ensure that everything went smoothly and has a rare eye for the tiniest details. She came ready with creative solutions on how to bring everything together and truly made the event a million times more magical than we could have ever envisioned.
We only have positive things to say about our experience and are beyond happy with how everything came together - thank you so much Lauren for everything you do, we appreciate you and all the extra attention to the details and hard work you do!

We cannot say enough wonderful things about The Get Together Events Co. Our planner, Justine, was just THE BEST! One of the nicest, most enthusiastic, supportive, and organized individuals we have come across. If you are planning a wedding, you know that it can be completely overwhelming. Having Justine come onboard for the final month, as well as the day of, was the best decision we made while wedding planning. She not only kept us organized and on track with all the details leading up to the wedding, but the day of the wedding she magically pulled it all together while we were relaxing and sipping on champagne getting beautified. Without her, we would have been running around trying to make our vision come to life! It was such a joy to work with Justine and the entire team at The Get Together Events Co. I would love to stay in touch and wish we could do it all over again. It was such a magical day, and we have nothing but wonderful memories, including the entire planning process with The Get Together Events Co.

Katherine (on site) and Justine were AMAZING coordinators! Katherine went above and beyond to help us out with every detail and maintained a zen composer throughout the entire event. Thank you both SO much for making our special day such a fabulous time!! I would recommend TGT 12 times out of 10, their month-of services are a must!

Booking The Get Together Events was one of the best wedding decisions we could have made. Our coordinator Lauren truly went above and beyond to help make our wedding day flow seamlessly - which allowed my husband and I to relax and enjoy the day. She corralled our crazy wedding party, saved us money on a few of our vendors, and was an amazing support line during the weeks leading up to the big day. We cannot thank her enough for making our day so unforgettable. THANK YOU - WE LOVE YOU!!!

To all the brides out there, you need a month of coordinator. You NEED The Get Together team. Lauren and her team are the best people to work with. They are professional, full of positive energy, and super organized. I've heard stories of couples being stressed leading up to their wedding but we didn't have any of that because Lauren took care of us and made sure we were on track with our to-dos leading up to the wedding. Our wedding day went by so smoothly and I can't thank them enough for it. Thank you Lauren for being part of our day and helping to make it so special!

If you are looking for a wedding coordinator at literally any venue in Nashville, New York or beyond, seriously do not hesitate to hire TGT! As someone who is an event planner, I cannot recommend their team enough. Lauren, Justine, and Laura were unparalleled in their communication, energy, problem-solving skills and overall coordination. I am typically an extremely anxious and OCD person, and I was so calm on my wedding day because I trusted them 100% and they definitely exceeded all of my expectations. And they had never even worked at my venue before!! All of this makes TGT the best team of wedding coordinators and honestly the best kind of personalities that you would want to work with when planning your big day!!

KARDELL + MORIBA, Queens
My husband and I were hellbent on planning our wedding ourselves to save cost and decided to invest in a month-of coordinator to hand things over to as the wedding got closer and we couldn’t have possibly made a better decision than The Get Together Events. Specifically, Justine Salata was an absolute superstar in keeping everything organized, getting us whatever we needed and, most importantly, keeping things running smoothly on wedding day. From the moment we each respectively stepped foot at the venue to the moment we left, she was there making sure everything was running smoothly and giving directions to those who needed it. We’ve been telling everyone this, but we could not have had as magical of a wedding as we did if it wasn’t for Justine and TGT. Also, it’s worth mentioning that Justine’s energy throughout the entire day was so positive and inviting and made for a completely stress-free atmosphere for my husband and I. We 1000% cannot recommend their services enough. Worth every single penny (and then some)!

TGT month-of coordination was one of the most important decisions we made for our wedding. The primary virtual meeting we had with Lauren and Justine was thorough and addressed so many details we would have never thought of. This initial meeting helped us get organized and fine-tune the details of the weekend.
Justine was our main logistic lead (and the PERFECT coordinator), both in the lead up weeks and on the big day. Her positive energy made us feel so relaxed throughout the process so that we were able to enjoy our special day how we envisioned! At the end of the day, she truly has you and your partner’s well-being and happiness in mind. We couldn’t imagine our day without Justine and are forever grateful for her.

I should start by saying my partner and I are extremely detail-oriented and were prepared to plan every detail of the wedding together, and in-spite of this, working with Kate and Lauren at The Get Together Events Co. have been 100% worth the investment, and honestly enhanced our experience leading up to the month of and were singularly responsible for helping us through the final hurdles and managing the day! Kate and Lauren were responsive, kind, fun, and actively engaged throughout the process, and helped level us even through some stressful moments. At a month out when Kate and Lauren took over, everything about the planning and process became much easier to manage, with Lauren providing us clear tasks, reminders, updates, and taking over all the communication with vendors, this allowed us to focus entirely on managing our families and friends and preparing for the day. On the day, Kate was everywhere! Clear game plan throughout the day, helped all our vendors through setup, and we could truly just be present to enjoy the day without worrying about what and where we needed to be. We highly recommend working with The Get Together Events Co. for your month of coordination needs!

I knew when I started wedding planning that I wanted a Month-of-Coordinator on our side! It was an extra expense for us, but one that I knew would take away some stress on the day of. Little did I know, that working with Justine and Lauren of TGT, would become the single best thing I did to set our wedding day up for success! Justine did more behind the scenes than I could have ever imagined, and was there every single step of the way, with helpful plans, lists, constant reassurance and supportive words. Not only did she take what felt like the weight of the world off my shoulders, she was a sounding board for worries and ideas, and my biggest hype-gal! She was by my side when I wasn't feeling well, and executed a last minute wardrobe alteration. She truly went above and beyond to give us the best day ever, and I could go on and on (and in tears!) talking about how amazing she is, and how relieved I felt the whole month leading up to our wedding, knowing we had her support. Don't even think twice, hiring TGT was the best decision we made, and you will be so glad that you did it too!

Hiring TGT for our wedding was probably the best decision we made. Julie was one of the most organized, easily accessible, efficient and most importantly- kind and thoughtful person we could have worked with. She was able to come into the middle of all our planning, and somehow understand then execute with all of the moving pieces. We were quite anxious about the wedding prior to TGT coming on board and I can seriously say that having Julie take over completely relieved us of all of our nervousness (in the last month before the wedding no less!) TGT absolutely deserves whatever awards are out there for best wedding planners of all time.

Wow wow wow. Can't recommend The Get Together enough. Julie made it possible for us to feel so taken care of and stress free for our wedding weekend and the month before. She coordinated our welcome event and the wedding day. She's so organized and is the best communicator. She makes sure you think of everything in advance so you can have the most fun, and she works behind the scenes to ensure everything goes seamlessly. The day of she incredibly got us, our families and our niece and nephew through a rehearsal in ten minutes. She takes charge in the most unassuming, graceful and fun way! She'd always come to check in on us and our families to make sure we were good - she had scissors in her handy dandy toolkit to help me with my dress, she'd bring us water, food and drinks, she made everything look and flow amazingly. Honestly the best guest that we couldn't have lived without. Literally told her I love her at the wedding. Can't say enough incredible things! Also shout out to Liz, Julie's assistant for the wedding day, who popped in seamlessly and was so easy and fun to work with!

Having TGT as a month-of-coordinator was easily THE BEST decision we made for our wedding. If you had to prioritize one thing, it should be to have TGT on your side for the big day. There were so many little details and activities I had planned throughout the day and this team executed everything FLAWLESSLY. I didn’t have to worry about a single thing during the weekend, and I couldn’t be more thankful!
Justine was our logistics lead and when I tell you she is a superhero, I truly mean it. No question is too big or too small for her. She was the main contact for all of my vendors and also put together a schedule that had listed every little thing that was going on inside my brain. It was AMAZING. Whenever I had a question, I knew I could go to her and she would get it answered as soon as she could. Whenever I had a random thought or last minute idea I wanted to capture, she was already on it. She is truly so great and I wish everyone I ever worked with could be like Justine.
During the rehearsal and wedding day, our onsite manager was Kristen. If you ever have her as your onsite manager, just know that you are in THE BEST hands. I will admit that I was a bit nervous that some things would be lost during knowledge transfer, but Kristen DID NOT MISS A BEAT. Everything went so smoothly and according to plan. As a very meticulous planner, that’s all I could ever ask for. On top of that, she is also just the sweetest human alive! If you get to work with Kristen, you will absolutely love it! In addition to Kristen, we also had help from Julia throughout the day! She was so great to work with and was super helpful when anyone from our wedding party had small or random questions!
TGT truly gave me the dream team for my wedding and I am forever grateful. If you hire TGT for your wedding, I know you’ll also feel the same way!

There are no words to describe how thankful we are that we met Lauren and her team! We actually met Lauren and her then fiance at a tasting for our caterer. Little did we know that through the tasting, we found our month-of coordinator! After months of struggling trying to plan and coordinate ourselves, along with miscommunication with some parties, Lauren and Raegan swooped in and saved the day! They took all of the worries off our hands and literally made magic happen. From calls with vendors, endless Google Doc edits, and emergency texts with urgen thoughts and concerns, they helped us through it all! I don't know how they do it, but The Get Together Events Co. has a well-oiled machine on their hands! Everything--and I mean everything--was thought of, planned out, and executed perfectly. Literally nothing went wrong our day of, thanks to TGT! They made all of our wedding dreams come true, and we couldn't be more grateful. We highly, highly recommend them!!!

The Get Together Events team is amazing! Julie and Lauren were so helpful through all of the planning stages - with their speedy, professional email responses and amazing problem solving skills, we knew we were in great hands from the first day they came on board. With our busy work schedules, we weren't sure if we could keep up with all of the details that need to be ironed out in those final weeks leading up to the wedding - thank goodness for Julie! Julie brought everyone together on the same page and all of our vendors raved about how great she was to work with. The wedding day was truly amazing and ran so smoothly - and knowing that Julie was running everything left me to actually enjoy the day! If you're on the edge and not sure about hiring Get Together Events, DO IT!

Hiring The Get Together Events was hands down, without a doubt, THE BEST decision we made when wedding planning… Many folx recommended that we invest in a day-of coordinator, and we were intrigued by the extra support TGTE would offer in the 30-ish days leading up to our wedding. When we tell you that this decision paid off in spades, we really mean it. Keep reading to see how they worked their magic and helped us pull off a PERFECT day.
The first call: TGTE kept us on track starting the month before our wedding with our download meeting, and we instantly knew we were in good hands with the vivacious, supportive, friendly and enthusiastic Justine, Katherine, and Lauren. They displayed not only deep knowledge (answering our questions about venue timing, who to tip) but also supernatural intuition, jumping in with smart suggestions (like a non-cheesy way to honor our parents in our DIY ceremony). I can't spoil all the tips and tricks that they offered, but just know that you will be in excellent hands if you, like us, felt good going into your wedding vision but wanted a sounding board, and planning partner.
The lead up: All throughout the month, Justine was the person in the background emailling vendors, confirming details, and dolling out homework. You know you've found an amazing partner when, after the wedding, you actually miss the *ding* of your inbox telling you your coordinator has another task/question/follow up item. I have never looked forward to "homework" so much in my life, because working with TGTE felt fun and supportive all the way through. During our time working together, we created a seamless timeline and various documents that would keep our family, friends, vendors and selves informed of what to expect during the day.
THE BIG DAY: Katherine was our on sight support, and we had If you're a couple with relative confidence in meeting and she was everything you could want in an on site contact. She did everything from help set up our decor, track down missing items, fix a wobbly plant sign, whisk us away right after the ceremony so we could catch our breath and do a private happy dance, and be the point person for any questions from our VIPs and vendors. I'm not even close to listing all that she did and managed to pull off for us, but we will always remember every detail and be forever grateful.
BOTTOM LINE: If you are a couple with relative confidence in your ability to plan, make decisions, book vendors, and have a general idea for how you want your wedding to look, feel, and be remembered, you will still be served well by hiring TGTE and having caring, vibrant, superb thought partners and boots-on-the-ground support to help you take your vision across the finish line, and beyond your wildest expectations. We can honestly say our wedding went off without a single flaw, because we were in the greatest hands. Thank you Justine, Katherine, Lauren, and the whole team.

The Get Together was far and away the best money we spent on our wedding; we know this for a fact because my now-wife and I could not stop saying it to each other throughout the entire stressful processes.
To say they are organized is an understatement. On our first call with Lauren and Justine, we started to describe the layout of our venue and before we even finished they said, “Oh don’t worry, we already did a site visit last week and are in contact with the manager.” That was just the first in a long, long line of them being a step ahead. Lauren planned everything to a tee, was in touch with all our vendors on our behalf, coordinated everything beautifully and genuinely asked how we were doing several times a week.
On the day of the wedding, Justine was simply flawless. First of all, her energy was sensational. Her excitement was contagious and made us feel giddy. One of our niece’s described her as ‘a human exclamation point’! She orchestrated our non-traditional venue’s ceremony brilliantly, got our rowdy bridal party through the rehearsal with humor and kindness, and came up with solutions to in-the-moment issues flawlessly and with a smile.
They anticipated needs before we even knew we had ones. They provided solutions we didn’t even know existed yet and happily pivoted when we had our own ideas/suggestions. It was like working with fairy godmothers. Planning a wedding is so beyond stressful (and we did a small one!), but do yourself a favor and hire TGT– you don’t even know how badly you need them. We cannot recommend them highly enough.

I can't say enough good things about Julie, Lauren, and team for helping us push through the final stretch of our wedding planning process. We had hired a full service wedding planner, who at the last moment had to bow out of helping us due to a family emergency. She connected us with TGT crew and I can not say enough good things about the process. From the download meeting though our wedding day Julie and team were so helpful for my many questions. The various spreadsheets and charts were essential at keeping me organized and helping me put the finishing touches on our wedding planning process. We had a wonderful wedding day at 501 Union - it would not have been the same without The Get Together Events Co!!!

I could not recommend TGT highly enough. Everything about my experience with them completely exceeded expectations! As a TV producer, I am a very detail-oriented person who is well versed in producing live events. The TGT team totally spoke my language and over communicated about every aspect of the planning. To add on to the complications, our event was 100% DIY -- raw space, different vendors for every single element. TGT didn't miss a single detail. They work completely over Google Doc which was incredibly collaborative and provided for fantastic workflow. They responded to and addressed every single detail and question, absolutely nothing slipped through the cracks. TGT is perfect for couples who want a DIY process (ie don't need a planner), but want the guidance of industry insiders. BOOK THEM!

TIFFANY + DAN, Queens
The Get Together Events (TGT) team is the best team in the business. Lauren and her team bring experience, creativity, attention to detail, patience, and most importantly, an ability to make all stress/fears vanish. I would recommend TGT and Lauren to anyone and everyone!

Julie and Lauren were amazing! Best decision I made was hiring Get Together Events Co. They made the month before the wedding feel like a breeze which I thought was impossible! The day of the wedding, Julie coordinated every detail exactly how I envisioned it. She made my feel at ease through the day and I am so grateful for all the help! If you want the best wedding ever hire TGT!!!

I can’t say enough good things about GTE, they were easily one of the best hirers we had for our wedding. Lauren and specifically Justine were an absolute dream team who immediately jumped in and got started coordinating with all of my vendors and actually working hard to already have questions answered before I or any of my vendors came up with them. Leading up to the wedding I felt extremely organized and extremely stress free. Justine was patient when decisions took me longer then they should and was prepared with every different wedding prep list you could need. Day of, our wedding was a dream and Justine handled every annoying variable that was planned and unplanned.
I am a very organized and detail oriented person who enjoys party planning and I still felt that were absolutely necessary to have. My recommendation would be to not have a wedding without them. I can’t emphasize this enough!!

Hiring The Get Together was the best thing that I did when wedding planning. Lauren, Julie, Justine and the whole team at TGT know exactly how to jump into your wedding planning at the right point in the process to help you get to the finish line, keep your stress levels low and enjoy the event that you spent so much time on. They are extremely responsive, helpful and caring and their experience with events shines.

We met with several wedding day-of planners and we knew instantly with the energy, personality and professionalism that Julie and Lauren were the ones. Thank goodness we hired them! Julie and Lauren were amazing and detailed to every little aspect (that I would never have thought about). Their energy and attention to detail made the day perfect - I knew I would be stressed and thinking about everything leading up to the week of and not able to relax but Julie made sure that was not the case.
Just to name a FEW of the items they helped with - rain plan, making sure we ate the day of, helping coordinate all our vendor timelines (nightmare if you tried to do this yourself), pack list, detailed timeline to wedding party, wedding decor prep, ceremony flow, working with our officiant, providing multiple layouts, giving us weekly homework, etc. the list goes on and on. Out of all of our vendors - they are going to be the ones we will miss not speaking to every week! Hire them!

My husband and I hired TGT to help with month-of coordination for our wedding in TN and let me tell you…it was worth EVERY PENNY. Lauren and Kate went above and beyond to make our day magical and there is no way we could have done it without them! TGT took everything we had planned up until the last month and hit the ground running with all of our last-minute details. There were some things we forgot to book in our planning process and Lauren made sure that we had everything taken care of and helped us keep our sanity at the same time! Lauren kept everything so organized for us to really stay on track and she created our entire timeline for the day of that coordinated all of our vendors. It was absolutely perfect! Our day-of coordinator Kate swooped in and took over on our wedding day and she was a ROCKSTAR. She kept us on track the whole day and went above and beyond to make sure every detail of our wedding vision came together the day of. My husband and I really wanted to have the last moment to ourselves at the end of the night to have a dance and soak in the day and Kate made sure that it was just me and him in the room at the end of the night and we have that memory forever now so we can’t thank her enough for helping us!! I could list sooo many other things that both Lauren and Kate did for us but the bottom line is .. If you are looking for an amazing team of coordinators who go out of their way to make sure you get the wedding of your dreams, then book them now!!!

We hired The Get Together Events Co. for our wedding and we had an amazing experience. We could not have had such a perfect day without Lauren and Brandy. Lauren worked with us every week leading up to our wedding communicating with all of our vendors to make sure everything came together. Brandy was onsite the coordinating our wedding the entire day to make sure everything ran smoothly. They both were so friendly and we are really grateful we had them helping us! Our wedding would not have been what it was without them and 10/10 recommend The Get Together Events Co. for your wedding!

I knew TGT events was the right pick from the very first phone call with Lauren. She had everything squared away and already relieved any pre-planning anxiety I had built up. My husband and I thought we were the type that could have everything planned out ourselves, but we were definitely wrong. Lauren was able to fill in every gap and details that we didn’t even think about. We hired the team for the month of coordination and it was THE BEST decision ever! We were truly able to enjoy our wedding day because of all the amazing planning and organization done by Lauren and Kate! We can’t thank you all enough for making everything so magical. We will forever be grateful to have met you two and for helping us create the most beautiful memories.

Hiring Lauren and her company The Get Together Events Co. was EASILY the best money spent throughout the entire wedding planning process. As soon as Lauren and I started working together about a month before the wedding, I felt my shoulders lower and my neck relax... I could actually enjoy the month leading up to the wedding because I felt so confident that everything was in good hands. Multiple members of both my (the bride's) and my husband's family sung her praises- she even wrangled my 3 y.o. nephew at one point when he was interrupting part of our day with toddler behavior. HIRE THIS COMPANY!!!

Hiring The Get Together Events was such a great decision for us! When they came on board the month before our wedding, we had a bunch of pieces that made a wedding (think venue booked, vendors hired, decor chosen) but no idea how things would actually happen on the day of! The Get Together Events team met with us, took what we had, helped us clarify what we wanted, identified some gaps in our planning, and helped us have an incredible wedding day. Julie was so helpful in keeping us on track, following up on every detail, all while maintaining so much excitement for us and our wedding! It was so helpful to have her overseeing all of the final details, confirming everything the weeks and days before the wedding with all of our vendors. I can't imagine how much work that would be to do ourselves, especially as we were trying to enjoy time with our out of town family in the days before the wedding. We had two team members on site (Lauren and Lauren) coordinating the day of our wedding and they made sure everything was seamless. We felt like we were able to present and enjoy our wedding without worrying about all the details that made the day so beautiful. We are so grateful to their team and would highly recommend their services to any couple getting married.

Sept 2022 Chicago bride here! I'm a former wedding planner and Virgo with (admittedly) high standards. Working with TGT for month-of coordination was the BEST vendor decision I made. I had a complicated, multi-faceted South Asian wedding with double ceremonies, many outfit changes, lots of different photo locations, and tough family members. Lauren worked wonders leading up to the wedding with clear, concise, respectful, and enthusiastic communications. Something I didn't realize - after you book most of your vendors (catering, venue, DJ, etc) most of them go pretty quiet until a month before the wedding, then EVERYONE needs EVERYTHING all at once, and has competing interests. I can not imagine trying to organize and negotiate through that without Lauren. Day of, Katherine and Allison were AMAZING. No task too tough, nothing I threw at them seemed stressful, and the day was perfect. They made the day happen, without a doubt. And I was able to truly enjoy myself. Don't think - BOOK THEM before your date is gone.

Lauren & Justine are out of this world incredible!! We worked with Lauren the month of for all behind the scenes wedding prep, pulling together all our vendors into 1 streamlined timeline, very impressive. It started with an initial handover call with Lauren & Justine which lasted 2 hours, about 5 weeks before our wedding date. The amount of detail they went into and the spreadsheets/documents they used to break everything down is beyond amazing.
We had many questions come up in those last 2 weeks, without TGT we would have been overwhelmed. Day of Justine was our coordinator, with Lauren on standby at the end of the phone. Justine had a Mary Poppins bag that literally had everything you could want or need on the day. My dress lost its buttons to pin the train up, Justine was there sowing me into my bustle, what a legend. Justine kept us on time throughout the day, it couldn’t have been more seamless.
All our guests could see how incredible and professional Justine was on the day and wanted to know how we found her!!
Lauren & Justine blew the doors off, we cannot thank them enough. You won’t regret hiring TGT.

We truly can’t praise the Ladies of TGT enough. From our first meeting, the team was very enthusiastic about and committed to our special day and eager to offer expert advice, solutions, efficiency, and care. With all communication everyone was warm, fun, patient, and exciting to work with. They thought of everything, even things my Type A brain couldn’t fathom. To top it off, they coordinated and ran the most memorable day of our lives to perfection.
In addition to all of their skill and guidance, I cannot speak enough about their commitment to diversity and inclusion. As a Black couple we were shocked at the lack of inclusion we saw when we began researching for our wedding team. When we saw their equality pledge, that they don’t do weddings at Plantations, that their site included all types of people, and we knew they were for us. We felt seen and respected immediately when we were starting to feel invisible in our research. So Thank you TGT for truly being a dream team to work with in every way!

I truly can not say enough about how helpful Lauren and her whole team at the Get Together Events was. I don't think I could've survived wedding planning without all of the great tools that were provided to us. Anything we threw at her she figured out how to execute quickly and without us having to take something else on our plate. Our entire wedding day went so smoothly and I know The Get Together Events was an essential part of why that was. I'm telling all of my engaged friends to use this planning team both because they're incredible but also so I can work with Lauren again!

Still freaking out about how amazing our wedding was a few weeks back. Before TGT came on board we were stressed and juggling more than we could handle. Julie & Lauren immediately made us feel at ease and helped visualize everything better than we could have imagined. Julie crushed our wedding weekend from schedule to vendor management to just being a positive energy around the property. Even my mom who is impossible to please raved about how seamless and beautiful the day was. Would not have been possible without this team. Best money we spent. Need to plan another event so we can work with this incredible team. Thanks TGT

Where to even begin!! Working with Julie, Grace, and Lauren was honestly the best decision we made when it came to planning our wedding. If you're wondering whether it's worth hiring them for the month-of logistics, just do yourself a favor and book them. Things were starting to feel crazy right around that 1-month mark, and as soon as we had our meeting with them, they immediately made us feel relieved and excited. They helped us nail down every single detail —including several things we hadn't thought of yet — and made sure we were feeling calm and collected each week leading up to the big day. They are extremely organized and incredibly kind. I felt confident leaving my vendor/setup logistics to Julie and we felt truly pampered and cared for by Grace onsite on our wedding day. Several guests and family members remarked on how kind and attentive she was. She rolled with the punches and made sure my dad could execute some (questionable) surprises and made sure we were all having fun 100% of the time. Thanks a million for making our wedding day incredible, TGT!

There are no words to describe how helpful Lauren and the TGT team were to us on our wedding day and the month leading up to it. I had heard so many stories of how stressed and overwhelmed brides tend to be on their wedding day and that was not my experience at all thanks to Lauren. We were relaxed and thoroughly enjoyed our day because of TGT. They executed my vision perfectly and got along so well with our friends and family. I wish I could keep Lauren forever! If you're on the fence, just trust me, you need TGT!

WOW. The Get Together Events Co. team is amazing. Their process is seamless, convenient and efficient. Each couple receives a Logistics Manager (pre-wedding lead) and an Event Manager (day-of lead). Together, these two make sure every detail of your wedding runs smoothly. I would hire them again and again. The process begins with a Download Meeting 30 days out. This is a two hour video call where you get to explain everything about your wedding, and hand it over to their team to take it over the finish line. They review all of your docs and provide invaluable feedback that take your wedding day from good to GREAT. Below are a couple of stand out examples. I could go on and on about how absolutely wonderful Lauren, Tori and the whole crew were during our wedding. Examples: (1) My floor plan for the reception was not utilizing the space and florals in the best way. Lauren drafted a new plan that flowed a lot better and we were able to better utilize all the rentals I'd ordered. (2) I didn't think to add mini arrangements on the cocktail hour tables, or offer seated tables for our older guests. Lauren suggested adding bud vases and a couple of cafe tables, and both were a huge hit and pulled the space together. (3) At the end of the night, there were a lot more boxes/items to go back to our house than intended due to a family miscommunication. Tori ensured everything was handled, told my MOH, and I was none the wiser, galavanting off to my reception exit. Their attention to detail, quick responses and solutions, jovial demeanor and all-around loveliness made my wedding the absolute best. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

We are beyond thrilled with our choice of TGT and Justine! We knew we got the best, but Justine exceeded our expectations. She was so incredibly professional, sweet and easy to work with. The month before our wedding was so relaxed and fun- without Justine and Lauren helping us, we couldn't have felt this way. Our families can't stop raving about how great Justine was to work with, making the day/night run as smoothly as possible. Working with TGT was 100% the best choice we made throughout this process!

If you are planning a wedding, stop right now and book The Get Together! Lauren is not only incredibly kind, hilarious, and calming to interact with, she is also one of the most diligent and hardworking people I've worked with. From our very first interaction, Lauren put me at ease and assured me that I truly had someone in my corner. There's nothing more comforting than that. There are always bumps in the road in the month leading up to the wedding, and Lauren smoothed out every single one -- usually only informing my fiance and I once everything was 100% resolved, a HUGE relief for us. Justine went above and beyond on the day of to make sure our wedding day not only went smoothly, but was truly enjoyable for us. I had MANY guests at my wedding come up to me specifically to comment on how amazing Justine was, not only as a coordinator but as a human. I could go on forever, but do yourself a favor and book TGT ASAP, it will be the best decision you make for your wedding day!

Lauren and her team at The Get Together are top notch! So fun, communicative, and most importantly logistic/planning gurus!

ASHLEY + JOE, Queens
TGT Events Co was hands down our best wedding investment. Lauren and Justine took away all of the stress of our day and handled every issue that came up with grace, humor and kindness. We were so grateful for their expertise and attention to detail. You will not find anyone better to work with than Lauren and Justine, hands down.
One example of their heroics was when our linen vendor told us 4 days ahead of our wedding that the linens we picked were no longer available. I was on an international flight and had only a few hours (and questionable wifi) to decide or else our linens wouldn't make it in time. Justine and Lauren went right into solutioning mode and had the vendor send us several options/pictures/videos in natural light and handled all of the communications. They truly gave me confidence that everything would come together no matter what. Honestly, I could go on for many more paragraphs about how great they are.
On our day Justine was a godsend. She worked tirelessly to make sure that my vision became reality, all while staying upbeat, positive and calm. We loved working with her and I'm just sad that we don't get to be on email or text threads anymore!
Please do yourself a favor and hire TGT Events Co, you will absolutely not regret it.

We cannot thank or recommend TGT enough for all of the hard work they put into our wedding, from our first introductory call, through the planning process, and into the wee hours of the event itself (and even first thing the next morning!). We had guests from all over the map—all of our parents plus countless friends—specifically call out how spectacular Grace was throughout the event and we couldn't agree more. We got through photo-taking ahead of schedule (!), felt very prepared for the (long, logistically complicated) ceremony, loved the ceremony music cueing and cocktails waiting for us afterward, and were blown away by how smoothly every single piece of the reception clicked into place. We especially appreciated Grace's ability to lead with so much tact. We've been privy to some not-so-nice-to-be-around planners at other weddings, and this was the polar opposite of that. The entire day felt effortless, smooth, easy, and fun, which we're sure was because of a massive (yet somehow invisible) amount of finagling behind the scenes—and all of the planning that led up to the big day, of course! It also must be said that Julie, the logistics lead, is truly a mastermind. The flow of events made perfect sense and allowed us to fit so many meaningful details, people, and activities into the limited time we had. We had a firm grasp on the entire schedule of events, and got far fewer questions from friends and family thanks to her expertly crafted memos. Hire TGT! You won't regret it!

Hiring TGT was the easiest and best decision for our wedding day. They were recommended by a coworker, by our venue, by our other vendors, and we knew from the very first call that we needed to work with them. We could not have survived the month of our wedding without them. Justine, our on-site coordinator, had everything we needed at the tips of her fingers day-of and was such a welcome presence in every space. Between her and Lauren, the month of our wedding was shockingly easy and we were able to be present for the big moments without any worry about how or when something would be accomplished. Hire them, you won’t regret it!

I cannot recommend TGT enough!! Before I started working with them, I spent many sleepless nights fretting about the smallest of details for my wedding. Then Justine and Julie came on board and made everything seem so easy. Julie is truly one of the most detailed-oriented and wonderful people to work with. She broke out our to-dos into weekly tasks that made everything feel achievable and not overwhelming. She also thought of EVERYTHING, and was working with us right up to the last minute as seating charts and other details changed. And Justine made us feel so calm and comfortable the day of. We were truly able to enjoy the day thanks to her. She made everything seamless, and literally saved the day with her bag of tricks when I realized that the train of my dress was covered in dirt. I'm so, so grateful for their support. They made our day perfect!

Working with The Get Together Events Co was the best decision we made in our wedding planning process! We could not have done it without Lauren and Justine. They helped ease our minds and answered all of our questions leading up to our big day. We felt confident going into our wedding week knowing that we had their support and advice to help guide the way.
With Justine on-site the day of our wedding, I knew we were in good hands - she made sure everything was on schedule and that we knew where and what we needed to be doing. It allowed us an opportunity to really be in the moment and enjoy our day! I cannot rave about these folks more and hope everyone has this support on their wedding days.

Justine made our wedding so easy. When she took over 30 days out, all of our stress went away and we could focus on the little details that were exciting and joyful to us. All the tedious work was completely taken care of, to the point that we don't even know the extent of what she had to deal with (but we know it was a lot!). During the event, Justine managed the temperature in the rooms (for our particularly hot August wedding day), dealt with unruly relatives, and quickly made adjustments to the schedule for the smoothest outcome. She also made sure to check in and consult with us. Anytime we needed her she magically appeared! She also used her years of experience to advise on how to make the day the most special. We have been raving about her to everyone who will listen. Many guests came up to us to mention to us how seamlessly everything was running, all thanks to Justine!

SAYRI + FRED, Brooklyn
We loved working with Julie, Devon, Lauren and the rest of the TGT team! We hired them for month-of coordination of our medium-sized spring wedding in Brooklyn – Julie was our main point of contact throughout the final month leading up to the wedding, and Devon was our day-of person making sure everything was running smoothly and on time. TGT made all our wedding dreams come true – they ensured we got to fully enjoy the day, and not get stressed and bogged down over the many logistics and details that need handling during wedding planning.
We had a longer engagement, so by the time we had gotten to a month out, we were suffering from decision fatigue and had lost track of some of the last couple “miscellaneous” tasks that needed to be finished. Julie was so incredibly organized, delivering weekly to-do lists with helpful instructions on how to accomplish each task. She also handled virtually all of our vendor coordination, delivering (as if by magic) an incredibly detailed timeline specifying where/when everybody (vendors, wedding party, family, etc) needed to be. Julie also handled coming up with the floor plan – which was slightly complicated due to the electrical needs of a photo booth and ice cream cart that would be showing up in the evening, and she seamlessly accommodated my desire to try and avoid placing key moments in front of a mural I was not particularly fond of at our venue.
Devon was our day-of queen! She was in constant communication with us throughout the day, making sure we were on-schedule and where we needed to be. Devon helped to make sure the venue was being set-up the way we wanted (transporting a bunch of decor/signage/stationary from our getting-ready location to the venue and working with the venue staff to ensure everything was set-out properly), and she stayed until the end of the night to make sure all of our stuff got cleaned up and sent back home with us. We didn’t have to lift a finger to ensure that the venue was decorated and then cleaned at the end of the night!
Hiring a month-of coordinator was a late decision for us, but hiring TGT to coordinate for us was one of the *best* decisions we made – our wedding day was perfect and the TGT team ensured that we got to enjoy every minute of it! Throughout our engagement, the month leading up to the wedding was actually the least stressful thanks to the help of TGT!

Let me paint the picture that I am a type-A lunatic who has been dreaming of my wedding since I was 5 years old, and our wedding turned out to be better than anything I could have imagined… To say we loved working with Lauren and Justine would be a complete understatement. Starting with Lauren, she was the calm within the storm, taking things off my plate and handling them to help keep me from losing my mind the month of the wedding… Justine was our day of coordinator who I swear has some sort of magical aura to keep everything peaceful and fun in the midst of wedding day chaos… She handled my fussy grandma, made sure everyone was in place and on queue for our ceremony, and got all our items back to our hotel room at the end of the night -- all things that had highly stressed me out until TGT came into the picture! Seriously, my family was obsessed with Justine by the end of the weekend, and everyone kept talking about what a godsend she was!!! (Couldn't agree more!) If you are on the fence about working with a coordination service or going with TGT -- please count this as your sign to go for it. Our wedding would have been a total bust without them and they made such a fun and happy impact on our day. I'm seriously making all my friends and sisters use them! Thank you so much TGT!!!!

We had a great experience with Lauren! In the weeks leading up to our wedding she was so organized and seamlessly kept us on track. When the wedding weekend came she was there to answer all our questions and wrangle the many moving pieces. I'm in awe of the patience, energy, and enthusiasm she showed all weekend. I would highly recommend working with this company!

Hiring TGT was the best money we've ever spent - Julie and Lauren's support and advice were worth every penny. Their organization, thoughtful attention to detail, active listening and generous enthusiasm allowed us to truly feel like guests at our own wedding. I can't stop telling family and friends how relaxed I felt on the day -- we enjoyed ourselves thoroughly, and that's a testament to Julie and Lauren's work. For every request and idea we had, they responded with an enthusiastic YES and a quick solution for how to make it happen. I wanted to make sure that our flowers didn't go to waste at the end of the night, so I bought paper and ribbon and asked Julie to invite guests to take whatever they wanted. Instead, Julie made up gorgeous bouquets herself, all wrapped and ready to go, to hand out to our guests after the last song. Such a classy touch. Every time we needed something it was on the way, and every time we forgot something it was already taken care of.

We absolutely LOVED having Lauren & Justine with us in the last hectic month of planning and celebrating. They asked us all the nitty gritty questions while also expertly handling all the logistics so we didn’t have to think about anything on the day of. Lauren’s timeline helped us so much in visualizing the weeks leading up to the wedding and her weekend “homework” was perfect! Justine was an angel on the day of, making sure both our families were comfortable and that we were fed, while also overseeing all the setup (which was perfect!). Both super smart, professional, and sweet people who made me and my wife (!!) feel 100% comfortable. Lauren & Justine we couldn’t have done it without you!!

I cannot recommend the team from The Get Together enough for month-of planning services. While we had initially booked them for our 2021 wedding, and when we asked to push to a 2022 reception instead, they were very flexible. Then for our 2022 event, I don't know what we would've done without them. We had tons of moving parts, particularly around COVID protocols for our event in late January 2022, but they took care of everything with the vendors and served as an incredible resource and sounding board for us when we had questions about COVID (thanks to their diligence, we had no cases from the wedding!), seating charts, and anything else. Through constant emails, spreadsheet updates, and texts, we always knew what was happening, but weren't overwhelmed by it since we didn't have to be in the thick of it. They were increeeedibly responsive, but more importantly, were a fantastic, positive presence during a stressful time. I'm particularly grateful for them the week of our wedding, when a snowstorm hit and they stepped in to juggle switched out band members and other snow-induced issues. No exaggeration, they were 100% the best money we spent for our wedding! Thank you Lauren, Lauren, Katherine and team for everything!

Book TGT Events now!!! They came on board a month before our day and blew our expectations out of the water. They took an active and proactive role from day one, sending us weekly to do lists, coordinating directly with all of our vendors, and making sure we thought of things we hadn't thought of. Grace was so amazing to have nearby on the day of the wedding. When I wanted to push the timeline back a bit, Grace was completely flexible and alerted the necessary parties immediately. We can't thank them enough for their hard work. They truly helped our day go so smoothly and perfectly.

The TGT team was absolutely fantastic. From their onboarding documentation and month of download meeting to the execution of our wedding weekend, we felt fully supported. Julie took over all logistics a month out (including some of our Covid-related details) and was incredibly responsive and on top of everything. She gave me, a total type A person, complete peace of mind so we could just focus on the experience! Through the whole weekend of a multi-cultural affair, Justine was just a total anchor to us— from ensuring everything was executed flawlessly to getting grass and mud stains out of my dress after outdoor photos — she made sure we had the most memorable wedding weekend. We couldn’t have asked for a better coordination team!

JESSIE + MATT, Brooklyn
Hiring TGT was the best decision we made throughout the whole wedding planning process!!! We truly don't know what we would've done without them. They made the month of final planning stress-free by equipping us with everything we needed and making us feel confident in our ability to tie up all of the loose ends. We were able to sleep soundly knowing that Lauren and Julie were on top of everything. We were nervous about all of the logistics and unsure of how our vision would be brought to life. TGT's planning process took away all of these nerves and the day could not have been more fun and easy. We didn't have to worry about a thing! They made our vision come to life in the best way. We were BLOWN AWAY when we walked into the venue. It was everything we hoped for and more. Julie was by our side all day and her smile and calm energy brought us joy every time we interacted with her. We felt like she was just a natural part of our wedding party, except not drunk and WAY more reliable :) She was on top of EVERYTHING. My husband had blisters from his shoes and the bandaids weren't helping so they ran out and got him blister bandaids! DO NOT HESITATE TO HIRE THEM!

We loved working with Julie and Lauren! Our wedding celebration weekend felt so seamless and smooth which is mainly due to how detail-oriented Julie was. She made sure to review all the logistics with us beforehand so we could be present and truly enjoy our event. Her energy was so positive. Our family and friends found her to be very helpful with answering questions and she even had a day of emergency tool-kit handy in case they needed anything. She helped keep us on schedule and set up all the DIY decorations we brought from home prior to the event. She even took our dog back to the hotel room so we could keep talking to our guests during the reception. We had a great experience and couldn't have imagined our big day without her!

REBECCA + BEN, Nashville
We can't exaggerate how wonderful it was to work with Lauren and The Get Together Events Co. Lauren is dependable, professional, and exceptional at her job. What sets Lauren apart is her genuine excitement for your event and her passion for what she does. She not only is great at her job, but she's also a wonderful person.
Our original wedding was postponed due to the pandemic. In fact, our wedding was the week everything shut down. Leading up to that week, the uncertainty of events made things very stressful. However, Lauren took the initiative in advance to reach out to our vendors and venue to come up with a back-up plan in case things did shut down. Instead of being reactive, Lauren chose to be proactive, which saved us an enormous amount of anxiety. For that, we are extremely thankful. When our rescheduled wedding finally happened, we were able to focus on each other and our family and friends, because we knew our event was in good hands with Lauren. It's probably biased to say that we think our wedding was probably the best wedding we've been to, but all of our friends have been telling us how much fun it was and how they wish we could do it again. We think that's a testament to Lauren's ability to put together such a fun & successful event. Again, Lauren is a professional and knows how to get things taken care of. But more importantly, she is a genuinely awesome person that really cares about you. We hope we get the chance to throw another event with Lauren :)

Hiring The Get Together Events Co. was hands down the best decision I made when it came to hiring vendors for my wedding! Working with Lauren was an absolute dream. Her energy is incredibly calm and comforting which was so refreshing during such a busy time. She really made me feel so understood and I had full trust that everything would be smooth by the wedding day. The day of my wedding I was able to breathe and take in as many little moments as I could because I knew that our day of coordinator had it all taken care of. I cant say enough about how amazing they made the whole wedding planning process and the actual day. My number one wedding planning tip is hire The Get Together Events Co!

I cannot thank The Get Together Events enough! The wedding was amazing, and Lauren & her team deserve so much credit for making it all fall perfectly into place. Their professionalism, attention to detail, patience, kindness and enthusiasm make them THE wedding coordinator. We are all so happy to have had them there to guide us through this process. Simply the best!

Hiring TGT Events was by far the best decision I made for my wedding. Lauren and Julie were so helpful in the month leading up to my event. They offered so much amazing advice and guidance and were extremely patient with my many requests and questions. When issues came up with other vendors, they handled them quickly and efficiently, and I never had to worry about a thing because I knew I was in great hands. On the day of the wedding, Justine was so attentive and had the most amazing energy. She is exactly the type of person you want with you on your wedding day! Despite my wedding day jitters and an impending rainstorm, Justine made me feel calm and in control. I had the most amazing and beautiful wedding day and I could not have done it without the TGT Events team!

ALLEN, Father of the Bride
When Tamar first told me that she and Brian were hiring a “day of the event wedding planner” I was somewhat skeptical as I wasn’t quite sure why one would be necessary. Lo and behold as the much anticipated day arrived and circumstances descended upon us what quickly became clear was that what you folks do was not merely necessary but quite frankly indispensable. As Justine worked her magic in seamlessly addressing every little question concern or issue, all without fanfare or drama, I was struck by how her calm presence and endless attention to the many details of the day enabled Tamar and Brian (not to mention their four somewhat nervous parents) to more fully enjoy their very special day.
To be absolutely clear, Justine was nothing short of an angel in doing all that she had to do in a calm efficient and reassuring way. No ask was too small for her and no task too big. She was just terrific!!!

NICOLE + KEVIN, Brooklyn
I cannot rave about The Get Together Events enough! They were the MVPs of our wedding. Lauren, Julie, and the team were able to make what would have been a very stressful month before our wedding much easier. They took over finalizing everything with our vendors, helped us make a customized schedule for our wedding day, and kept in contact with our wedding party. We asked that our guests submit negative covid tests on the day of the wedding, and Lauren was able to create a custom link for everyone to upload their results to. She seamlessly monitored everyone's responses on the day so that we didn't have to worry! In the week leading up to our wedding, a number of our guests informed us that they would no longer be able to attend, and despite the fact that I was still re-organizing table arrangements at 7 am the morning of our wedding, I knew we were in good hands. The beginning of the ceremony was a bit chaotic - our officiants began their processional before our guests were aware the wedding was starting- but other than that everything was beautiful and everyone ended up in their correct (and sometimes new!) seat for dinner! I really do not know what we would have done without them! Thank you thank you!

I cannot even begin to describe the weight that was off of our shoulders from our first call one month before the wedding up until our wedding day working with Lauren Schaefer and her team! We are two fairly type A people, and our normal behavior is typically pretty stressed/anxious/neurotic. But the staff at The Get Together just completely understood us and our preferences and we felt beyond comfortable in their capable hands from day one. Working with them made the lead up to the wedding actually FUN and really not stressful at all. Everything was totally under control and we were just purely excited. Never in a million years would I have imagined that I wouldn’t be stressed at all the week of my wedding but that was exactly the case with The Get Together! Day-of especially, everything was so clear and thought out that we were both able to go into auto pilot and not think about any of the small stuff. So many people had told us that their weddings were such a blur, they didn’t eat, they couldn’t talk to the people they wanted to talk to, because there was just so much going on. So happy to report that we cannot say the same. Everything was executed perfectly, all vendor communication was taken care of seamlessly, and they were a joy to work with. We were able to soak up every minute of the party and really had the time of our lives. Could not more highly rate this company if possible, and plan to recommend them to every couple we know!

We cannot stop saying this, but Lauren was by far our BEST investment for ensuring our wedding day went as seamless as possible. We are SHOCKED that her services are so affordable. Beginning one month before our wedding my husband and I were able to stop all communication with each vendor as Lauren completely took everything over at that point. She was lightning fast with responding and had the best upbeat energy. She was a pure joy to work with - so much so that I asked her to hire me! LOL
Hire Lauren and her team any day, every day! Cheers, The Agombars

TGTE tackles things that would never cross your mind in a million years: Where are you getting your pre-wedding meal from? Who's gonna bring your bouquet and gifts and personal items home for you at the end of the wedding night? How do you want to be introduced for the first time to your guests as a married couple? Who's going to arrange the centerpieces and candles and favors and menus and table numbers while you get your makeup done? How will you ensure all the vendors load in and out of the venue on time so you don't get charged an extra fee?
Lauren and Julie are professionals of the highest caliber. Not only are they prompt, organized, accessible, and thorough, but they make a very real, very concerted effort to understand you as a person and fully embrace the intricacies of your vision, the subtleties of your character, and the complexities of your interpersonal relationships. Every single thing they do is in service to making sure your night is your best night ever. (I even made an off-hand comment about "the more buttercream the better," and, lo and behold, our cake top [the part only my fiance and I cut into] was slathered in extra buttercream.) Hire them. They are a joy to work with and a downright steal for what they charge.

TAYLOR + JEFF, Brooklyn
SAY YES IMMEDIATELY. I truly cannot say enough about Julie and the Get Together Events team. Since the first conversation, I knew I'd be hiring them. The personal detail and comfortability in every transaction immediately was off the charts - I felt so calm and taken care of and that feeling only continued throughout the time working with them. I had a wedding of 38 guests and debated the need for a planner but it was 100% the best decision I made. The day after our wedding my husband said "I can't believe Julie isn't a part of our lives anymore" and it was true! Without a doubt, no matter your wedding size or budget, hiring these amazing women will be the best decision you make.

As a type A person, I was worried about bringing someone into the fold of my wedding planning. Enter Lauren and Justine. Even though I thought I had it all together, I literally would have never survived a COVID rescheduling and the last month of wedding planning without them. Sure, I had lists and spreadsheets, but they had checklists I would have never dreamed up on my own. The month leading up to our wedding was easy and seamless, with just the right amount of "homework assignments" from Lauren to keep me motivated, and to keep me from burning out. On wedding day, Justine was everywhere she needed to be--I literally have no idea how she did it all. She set up the space to perfection, wrangled people for photos, helped my guests with their various demands, and made time to check in with my husband and I to make sure we had all we needed. (My family is actually asking if we can have her at all our events.) If you think you don't need a wedding planner, then you definitely need TGT. Recommend a million times over.

Lauren and Justine are goddesses. Hire them. Stop looking now. You’ve found your coordinators.
From my first conversation with Lauren I knew she was the one to help us coordinate our wedding. I consulted at least 11 different month-of coordinators in the course of a week and Lauren was the ONLY one who asked about us first! Lauren was friendly, supportive, and as excited about all of our crazy ideas as we were! She was a true cheerleader who took care of so many details that we would have overlooked. Her organization and weekly homework emails helped us stay on track and made things manageable. She gave us her honest opinion about our ideas but also fully championed our wedding vision.
Justine was our day-of coordinator and we can’t say enough good things about her! She kept us hydrated and fed and allowed us to enjoy our day without us worrying about the minute details. She was focused and on-point, but also funny, warm, and genuine. She was great with our families and made the day run like clockwork…
Lauren and Justine are the reason why many of our guests said it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to. They’re AWESOME. Hire them. You’ll be very happy!

LIZ + TOM, Nashville
Hiring Lauren as our wedding coordinator was the easiest and BEST decision that we made throughout the planning process… To give you an idea, there are memos upon memos, and numerous spreadsheets, none of which you have to write but get all the benefits from! Seriously, I'm very type A and have a hard time letting go of things but I trusted Lauren 100% to execute my wedding like it was her own, which is exactly what she did. She is thoughtful, insanely detail-oriented, asks every question that you would never even think about yourself, and on top of it all, is the coolest and most fun person to be around! We had to make a number of last minute adjustments to our schedule due to weather and Lauren handled it like a boss without my husband and I, or any of our guests, knowing the difference. Her entire job is to make your life easy so that you can have fun on your wedding day and it was the best feeling just to be able to enjoy all of it while she handled the execution and details for us. And now that we're almost two weeks out from our wedding, I actually miss our weekly check-in's and "homework assignment" emails from Lauren because she is that much fun to work with. THANK YOU, Lauren for everything - you are AMAZING. We truly couldn't have done it without you. And for anyone reading this still wondering if they should hire her to coordinate their wedding, JUST DO IT! I promise that you that she is worth every single penny and more, and you will not regret it for a minute!

In the early spring of 2020, Lauren reached out to see what we were thinking about our fall 2020 wedding. It was too early to postpone things, but Lauren acted as a sounding board and shared her industry perspective. When it came time to postpone our wedding, we hired Lauren’s new Covid Coordinator Vendor Postponement services. Within a week, Lauren had reached out to all of our vendors to get their availability and postponement policies, and formed a list of every possible Saturday date in 2021 when our vendors were available. Lauren patiently listened to our concerns and offered advice as we evaluated the new dates, and when none were quite right, she went back to all our vendors for their Friday 2021 availability. Once we chose a 2021 date, Lauren coordinated getting all of the vendor contracts updated with the new date…Next: Micro Wedding Coordination. We still planned to do a small ceremony on our original 2020 date, and we hired Lauren to coordinate it. With Covid guidelines and restrictions constantly changing in NY, Lauren advised us: keep it simple. She helped us with the pros and cons of the 2 different family backyards and… reached out to caterers and rental companies in the NJ area to inquire about their availability. (Out of Lauren’s control), a month before the wedding was scheduled… we decided that hosting in our parents backyard was not going to work… We ended up choosing a small outdoor venue in Brooklyn, except their availability was very limited, and we had to go with a date that was just TWO WEEKS away. Queue Lauren’s magic. Lauren coordinated with the florist and photographer to make sure they were still available on the new date, coordinated all the details with the venue - Lauren’s past experience and relationship with the venue were a huge help... The venue’s recommended tent company was sold out of tents, which we needed as a backup for rain, so Lauren took on the challenge and contacted pretty much every tent company in the tri-state area… Fast forward to the day of - we also hired Lauren’s awesome event manager Julie to be with us. Julie was calm and attentive, made sure everything (and everyone) was in the right place at the right time. We dealt with some high winds and low temps, and Julie took it all with a stride, making sure we were always warm enough and working with the venue to make sure the spot could still be perfect!

RACHEL + JOSH, Nashville
Stop searching! You have found your wedding coordinators! Seriously… this is the team you want and need. We had the profound pleasure of working with Lauren and Julie for month of/day of wedding coordination. Our original wedding date was 9/19/2020, which we postponed to 6/18/2021 due to COVID… They were always available for questions (even before their services technically kicked in) and are always so quick to respond. They also offered and provided an additional service (for the literal tiniest fee- we’d have paid triple for it) and completely rescheduled every single vendor and the venue for us when we had to postpone. Thanks to them, we were able to keep every vendor we had already booked… Then they got all of the updated contracts for us. We barely had to do a thing, which was SO incredibly helpful in a time when I was pretty emotionally exhausted from having to postpone our wedding. Not only were they just helpful, they were the most fun, encouraging, professional, hardworking and organized team. They genuinely want to know you. They want to hear your concerns and put your mind at ease… Most importantly, they genuinely cared about us as individuals and a couple and also about exactly what we wanted our wedding to be. They are on your side 100% and you feel that intrinsically. I honestly don’t know how many other weddings they were working on at the same time as ours and that is because they make you feel like you are their only clients. The day they officially took over and we had our “download” meeting, about 6 weeks out from our wedding day, my stress/anxiety practically melted away because I knew this team would not let anything slip by them… There is no way to detail every service you will receive from them in this review, but we will always credit Julie and Lauren for being a HUGE part of why our wedding day was exactly what we wanted it to be. We were able to sit back and enjoy our day because they had literally every single minute detail covered. So again, if you’ve been browsing around the web for wedding coordinators, your search should end here. You have found the ROCKSTAR team you are looking for!

You NEED this team! I was one of the people that didn't think I needed a month of coordinator and only was hiring one because my venue required it. WOW WAS I WRONG. I know our celebration wouldn't have happened as flawlessly as it did (or even at all haha) if it wasn't for Lauren and Julie. They are truly incredible. Our original wedding was in 2020 and had to be canceled due to obvious reasons, and Lauren and her team were incredibly accommodating with the date changes and venues changes during a very stressful time.
Now with our celebration happening in 2021, Lauren and Julie really took over EVERYTHING. We had 8+ vendors with different deliveries and requirements, weather to factor in, and a load of other people involved and they handled all the coordination, scheduling and everything else involved so flawlessly. They gave us tips and recommendations on things we never even thought to look into, they helped when certain vendors started to become difficult and they kept us in the loop the whole time (without us having to do the legwork, haha!). They even ensured that the wedding party and family were on time for the day-of so we didn't have to text/remind anyone.
Without a doubt we recommend Lauren, Julie and the team 120%. You need them and I guarantee you it's the best money spent for the entire celebration. From waking up the morning-of with a schedule in hand and H/MU starting early and the last vendor leaving the venue, Julie was there for it all and we could not be more thankful to have them in our corner. Lauren, Julie and team are incredible at what they do, stopping at nothing to ensure that you are able to enjoy your day without worry!
Book them now because they are a rare gem to find!

CONNIE + ERIC, Nashville
The Get Together Events Co. was the best decision we made for our wedding day! I was fortunate enough to be able to work with Lauren herself the month prior to our big day- nailing down details, meeting with vendors, checking things off my list, coordinating the day-of schedule, etc. Every interaction, communication methods, working docs she created for organization and planning, etc. helped put my mind at ease, since we were a COVID postponed and re-scheduled 2020 wedding. The actual day-of was amazing. Having Lauren onsite to help with the final details, as well as major ceremony setup that we were unable to get to beforehand, was really above and beyond what we could have anticipated and allowed for me (the bride) to be able to sit back and enjoy my wedding day. Also, our wedding was rescheduled for a holiday (July 4th) since it was the only Saturday our venue had left for the year, so we were super lucky to be able to have Lauren there for us! I highly recommend her and her team for your big day!

I would recommend The Get Together Events Co. to anyone and everyone planning a wedding or other event! Lauren and her team were an absolute dream to work, alleviating every piece of stress and concern leading up to the wedding. Lauren gave us complete confidence that our event would unfold flawlessly, and in the month leading up, she stepped in to answer every question and help resolve any issue we had. She and her team were professional, thoughtful, and incredibly organized! Our wedding was in good (and fun!!) hands. On the day itself, she brought the best vibe and attitude - relaxed and joyful to work with, while managing absolutely everything without a single drop of stress :) Thank you Lauren - I hope to work with you again someday!

Lauren and TGT Events came through for us in a big way when COVID affected our wedding plans. She took our original plans and flawlessly coordinated a new event. She helped us find a new venue, worked with our vendors, and wrangled our timeline. Not only that, but she checked in regularly on how we were feeling & dealing with it all. I greatly appreciated how she condensed everything into a weekly update for us to respond to. On the day of, our timeline was perfectly planned - we weren't rushed or had too much downtime. Our guests raved about how smooth their experience with the Zoom was. It's not an understatement to say that our wedding could not have happened without her.

Lauren of The Get Together Events was absolutely fantastic and we could not have done this without her. With the pandemic, a Zoom wedding was required and Lauren coordinated everything related to Zoom, ensuring all technology worked, coordinating with the officiant, and patiently walking us through everything before and the day of. Lauren is incredibly organized and her attention to detail and knowledge made this seamless for us. We are incredibly grateful for her services and would highly recommend. Thank you Lauren!

CARSON + MEREDITH, New York
YOU MUST HIRE THE GET TOGETHER CO!!! They truly went above and beyond in making sure we had wedding we’d always dreamed of. Lauren’s sunny disposition and unwavering positivity are exactly what you need in the hectic month of your wedding. She was so meticulous with every detail leading up to the event - all of our other vendors continuously told us that Lauren was the best planner they’d ever worked with. Justine was our on-site planner for the weekend itself, and she truly felt like the best camp counselor you could ever imagine. She managed to execute every single logistic (and there were many), while also constantly checking in on us, and always making sure all of the guests were taken care of. We can’t emphasize enough - this is the best money you could possibly spend on your wedding.

Hiring [TGT] was easily one of the best decisions we made during the wedding planning process! Lauren S. was a complete godsend during the month leading up to our wedding. Despite balancing busy work schedules, travel, and all of the last minute stressors wedding planning brings, Lauren kept me completely at ease knowing she was handling everything behind the scenes. Lauren went above and beyond coordinating with all of our vendors and staying on top of last-minute to-dos. She is detail-oriented, prompt, and completely reassuring that everything is on track when the inevitable stress hits! On top of being a true pro at what she does, Lauren has a fun-loving, bright personality that makes working with her such a pleasure! On the day of, Lauren and Michelle ran the show seamlessly so that my husband and I got to enjoy every minute of our day without worrying about a thing… what more could a bride ask for? You want [TGT] on your team – hire them without hesitation!

TGT was the best money spent by far for my wedding! Lauren and Liz were an absolute DREAM to work with. It was such a relief once they were involved because they handled everything! They were fun to be around, so responsive, and answered the thousands of questions we had without issue. I’m sad the wedding is over because I won’t get to chat with Lauren and Liz everyday! Hire them for your wedding and you will not regret it!

AMBER MARIE + NEIL, Nashville
Having The Get Together Events Co. as our month-of coordinator was the best decision we made for our wedding. Lauren was our main point of contact throughout the planning phase, and Sam was on site day-of (and for the rehearsal the day before!).
When we got engaged, we didn't really understand why people would use month-of planning services, but after working with Lauren and Sam we realized how much help they were, and how many things would have slipped through the cracks if not for their hard work. They helped us keep track of all the important details, even the tiny ones (location of small decor items, Photo Booth back drop selection, etc) to ensure that everything went the way we wanted on the wedding day. They also helped clarify the legal requirements for us to get a marriage license, as neither of us lived in the city where the wedding took place. There is plenty of month-out vendor coordination that you don't think about when you begin planning a wedding, and thanks to Lauren we never had to think about it because she handled it all for us.
In addition to making sure we didn't forget anything we planned on having, they also helped us navigate a few unforeseen last minute issues. We had a significant change in our guest count less than a month out, and Lauren worked with our caterer and rentals provider to accommodate this and even helped us rearrange our floorplan on short notice. She also saw we were missing a vendor for running the audio at our event, so TGT provided us with an emcee, Andy, for our reception at a very reasonable additional fee for such a last minute addition.
Our wedding day itself ran smoothly and without any hiccups, and we would attribute almost all of that to having TGT as our month-of coordinators. Sam was there before we arrived and after we left, busy as a bee, but we hardly even noticed. We were able to enjoy the full wedding experience that we'd crafted while she kept everything on schedule and just like we wanted.

Not only were Lauren and Kate my support system leading up to my wedding, but they literally made my day happen. With a complete venue change 5 hours prior to my ceremony starting, they took every stressor off my shoulders and executed my vision better than I could have ever imagined! Without them I know my wedding would not have been half as amazing as it was! I wish I would have hired them sooner. Lauren and Kate are wonderful people, but also bad ass women that are excellent at their job!

Pre-wedding review here! During the peak of the covid outbreak, YWbL has stepped in to pick up the pieces of our would-be wedding! I am emotionally drained and it is a GIFT to not have to go through the back and forth with all of my vendors again. Thank you, thank you for adding a covid package to your list of services! It is just what I needed! (Not to mention, being super flexible and understanding of our decision to postpone until next year) 7/25/20 -> 7/24/21

I couldn't have better things to say about working with Lauren. Throughout the planning process, Lauren was attentive, organized and resourceful.
She helped to alleviate any additional stress leading up to the wedding by providing helpful tips and resources that kept me and my husband on track for our big day. She took the reigns the month before , and actually made the weeks leading up to my wedding an exciting and enjoyable one rather than one wracked with last-minute stress.
On our wedding day, I knew I had absolutely nothing to stress about because Julie (our day of wedding manager) was on it. Every little detail, every step of the way. I couldn't have asked for a better team and am so grateful that we picked [TGT] to help us throughout the wedding planning and day of wedding process. Our day would not have been nearly as amazing without them, and we highly recommend them to everyone!!

Ok I will start by saying that my wedding was almost a year ago (July 2019) and I am unfortunately just getting to a review for these AMAZING ladies. And this is what happens when Lauren and Justine aren't planning and organizing my life for me! Ha!!! Truly though they are the absolute dream team. They were so so wonderful to work with and I honestly don't know how my wedding day would've gone without them. Everything was so seamless and that is all thanks to them. Working with them was the BEST decision we made. Not only were they so helpful and organized, but sweet and hilarious! This is what you need leading up to your wedding!! I truly feel like we became friends and I miss working with them!! So much love to Lauren and Justine!!!! I cannot thank them enough!

Lauren (and Kate & Summer) were A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! I'd say that I'm a pretty organized and detail orientated person when it comes to most things, but Lauren put me to shame. She had lists upon lists to help keep everything organized and make the month and day of room so smoothly. Things that I didn't even think about, Lauren made sure I had a plan for and was so helpful with ideas and suggestions to make things happen exactly the way I wanted. I can't even remember how many times I changed my seating chart, rental order, guest list numbers and Lauren (and her team) just ran with whatever I gave them. They made things HAPPEN! When I first was discussing my budgetary constraints with Lauren in regards to hiring a month of coordinator, she was willing to work with me. She truly cares about her clients and will go above and beyond for them. I wasn't excepting to have my coordinator at my rehearsal, but Lauren made sure she was there to help things run smoothly even then! Her and Kate were ON IT during my wedding day too! They were so good, I didn't even have to ask for anything to be done because they were already doing it. Also, when my bridal party needed to be whipped into shape for the photographer or needed to pay close attention to something, she gave them a kind but stern helping hand and made sure that I didn't have to be the "bad guy".
She has a gift for planning and so I would highly recommend her to any bride that needs a little bit of help with her wedding. I felt completely at ease and was able to truly enjoy my wedding because I knew everything was taken care of and Lauren and her team would be able to handle anything that came up! HIRE THEM NOW!!! You will not regret it!

Y'all. In all the decisions you have to make in the wedding process, the BEST decision you'll make BY FAR is hiring Lauren and her team! The Get Together Events Co. brought our vision to life and executed our plans magically. They were the first team we hired once we had our May 2021 wedding date set, and they immediately became the MVP of our team! They tackled last minute snags and identified obstacles before they became problems. Realization that the bride (*ehm me*) booked the wrong day for our getaway transportation? Handled. Thinking ahead to all the little extras that became crucial to the day? They had it. Lauren created the most flawless plan based on all the disconnected pieces we gave her, weaving together our perfect day. Brandy (our day of coordinator) executed perfectly and helped to ensure we didn't have to deal with any problems on our big day! May 29 was perfection thanks to them - we can't thank them enough!

Lauren is the best thing that happened to our wedding! She came recommended to us by the Columbia School of Journalism (serendipitously this is where my husband works). We had been looking for a month-of coordinator, and every single person at Columbia highly recommended Lauren as she had just moved from being their event planner to being a wedding coordinator in Nashville! How perfect?! Lauren gave us all the documents and assignments we needed to get started, and when it came time to hand over things to her month-of, she took over with high energy and excitement! She has the best personality for this-she is organized, certain and confident while at the same time being fun (!) and hilarious. We absolutely adored talking with her and my anxiety about the wedding was virtually erased whenever we'd discuss things with her. Every singe person in the wedding party and in our family remarked at the amazing job she did. She thinks of everything and keeps the day running smoothly. Do yourself a favor and hire her!!! She is worth every penny and more!

Hiring Lauren as my month of coordinator and Justine as my day of coordinator was the greatest thing I did for my wedding planning!!
I knew I needed help as my venue has you bring in all outside vendors. I found Lauren and co. about 10 months before my wedding. I hopped on a call with Lauren and Justine and in minutes they made me feel comfortable, heard, and put my stress at ease… Because of their expertise, they were able to provide recommendations for transportation, set up, floor plans, etc. which helped immensely; I've never planned a wedding before!!
Lauren sent us weekly emails with homework of outstanding items and offered a bunch of suggestions for set up. She provided a pack list, a floor plan, and handled ALL communication with vendors and the venue… I cannot recommend enough!!
I am SO grateful for the two of these ladies and their whole team. I couldn't recommend them more.

It was an absolute pleasure working with the team at Your Wedding by Lauren! We could not have pulled off our big night without Lauren & Julie’s help.
Prior to working with YWbL, we were in a good spot in terms of managing the massive project that is wedding planning and piecing everything together. Lauren helped empower us to take the next steps and finalize the details in the last two months. She was incredibly helpful in helping us prioritize projects and keeping us focused on the task at hand so we wouldn’t get overwhelmed. We immediately felt relaxed by Lauren’s confidence in planning and reassuring presence. She also took a lot of minor details off our plate with her hard work coordinating vendor details.
Julie was an absolute force on our wedding day in terms of keeping all moving parts running as planned. While kind and friendly, she was assertive at all the right times when she needed to be. She even managed to keep the groomsmen on track somehow. Julie anticipated any requests we could have possibly asked for, she was on top of everything. She enabled us to enjoy the night and let go of worrying about any more planning and details… we knew everything was in great hands.
Would easily recommend the team at [TGT] to anyone planning a wedding. They are the ultimate pros and two people you want on your team heading into your big day.

Wow! What else can we say about The Get Together Events. My husband and I thought we wanted a day of planner and when we chose our venue, they required we have one. We stumbled upon TGTE month of planning and reached out to Lauren. It seemed like a perfect match. At the time, we thought it would be helpful, but truly had no clue exactly what they would do as we felt like we were working our butte off planning our wedding. Well, we quickly realized how wrong we were!!! We are SO THANKFUL we had Lauren S and Lauren R to plan and execute our wedding month. We had no idea how many decisions and how much time went into planning the month before the wedding. Besides the fact we were having a COVID wedding, there were so many last minute details that we would have missed leading up to the day of. From talking to our vendors, helping us secure a tent, finalizing payments etc these ladies went above and beyond. The day of the wedding - holy moly. I was in la la land. I didn’t feel a single bit of stress. I kept saying how “perfect” everything was going and I know that is 100% because Lauren and Grace were running around making sure everything ran smoothly and according to plan. Though I know there were some stressful moments, Lauren never showed it and in fact told us everything was perfect with a smile on her face. We had the most PERFECT COVID wedding and it wouldn’t have gone even remotely as beautifully if it weren’t for TGTE. I highly recommend this company to anyone planning a wedding - trust me - YOU NEED THEM!!

Lauren and Justine are completely incredible! They took away all the stress building up to our wedding and were absolutely indispensable on our wedding day. They took care of everything big and small, and we genuinely couldn’t have wished for more lovely, organised, genuine, fun, and professional wedding planners!

ELIZABETH + STEPHEN, Nashville
The entire [TGT] team was incredible and invaluable. As soon as Lauren started working with us one month out from our wedding, my stress immediately reduced because she was so on top of everything. She answered all of my questions, worked with all of my vendors to organize day-of drop-off/pick-up schedules (which let's be real, no bride really cares to be a part of), created many amazing and detailed documents to keep me organized (pack list, timeline, decor sheet, logistics, etc.), and most importantly was one of our biggest supporters and cheerleaders while we went through this crazy process of wedding planning. Lauren and her team are fun, talented, and we are SO glad we used [TGT] for our special day!

Working with Lauren and Justine was the BEST decision we made for our wedding! They were super organized, detail-oriented, and so knowledgeable without making the nitty-gritty stressful. They made us feel confident and excited about every task, not to mention the fact that they paced our tasks so kindly that we never felt overwhelmed by them. Best of all, they made all of this truly FUN!
On the day of our wedding Justine arrived full of energy and a sense of humor and stayed that awesome until past midnight! But she was also so on top of everything, so able to read the room, and so ready to have our back anytime we needed her. Also, I want to mention that she set up our venue just as we had envisioned it, or even better. This is a no-brainer--they are the best!

TERRIANN + MICHAEL, Brooklyn
My husband and I had a very DIY wedding in Brooklyn in the spring of 2019. We tried to cut corners wherever possible but after talking to a MALE coworker about his NY wedding and hearing him rave multiple times about [TGT] - I thought I should at least check this out...
Hiring [TGT] was by far the best decision I made during the wedding planning process. I consider myself a fairly organized person and did as much as humanly possible prior to the wedding but ultimately, I am not a wedding expert - neither me, nor my husband had ever done it before.
Lauren and Justine were truly brilliant. They were a class act from beginning to end. They were responsive, enjoyable to work with and IMMEDIATELY made us feel completely comfortable with both our plan for our DIY wedding and put all of our fears at ease.
They literally earned EVERY penny and then some - frankly I believe it was some of the best money I have ever spent. ever. in my life!
I can't recommend a day of/month of wedding planner enough and if you are thinking about a wedding in NYC or any of [TGT's] locations - hire them! It is a well oiled operation. I was and still am so impressed.
Thank you Lauren and Justine for not just helping with our wedding but becoming friends

Working with Lauren and Justine was without question the best decision and investment we made in our wedding. I wish I could put into words how lovely it was to work with both of them - they are incredibly warm, professional, detail-oriented and genuinely happy and excited to make your wedding the best it can possibly be.
Lauren jumped in just at the right time and smoothed and coordinated everything for the last stretch our of wedding planning. She asked really good questions, anticipated and solved any potential issues and was always an enthusiastic and honest person to lean on for advice. She combed through details, crafted the perfect timeline and made the last few weeks as stress-free as possible. Justine brought amazing happy and calm energy to our day of. She made the day run incredibly smoothly - in fact, my mom literally referred to her as Mary Poppins, as she magically appeared whenever we needed anything and always had a perfect solution or suggestion. Justine thought of everything we could possibly need the day of - we didn't even have to ask her for anything as she was already so on top of it! So many people mentioned to me how incredible our wedding planners were.
We honestly cannot say enough positive things about Lauren and Justine. Working with them was truly a pleasure and we cannot thank them enough for really making it the best day of our lives.

I don’t know where to begin in describing how grateful we are to Lauren for making our day as smooth and easy as it could possibly be! She took over planning a month out, and from the first meeting I knew that we would have nothing to worry about. Every aspect of our day was perfect, and we have Lauren to thank for that. She is attentive, organized, supportive & such a joy to be around. We highly recommend The Get it Together Events Co. for a smooth, fun, stress free wedding day!

We honestly couldn’t have done it without [TGT]. Everyone told us that we were pretty bold in choosing to hold our wedding at a brand-new venue with a completely new staff. I know we were among the first weddings held at the venue and definitely the first wedding to use all the different areas of the original building, so it was very challenging for everyone involved. Having Lauren and Justine in our corner made it possible for us to relax and enjoy the evening, and not worry about whether each space was prepped and ready.

I'm not sure I can put into words how amazing Lauren and her team are at what they do. I swear Lauren was born for this business, and I feel lucky that we received her extensive services at an incredibly reasonable price. I planned a very DIY-heavy wedding (I did all the decor & florals!), and as the wedding got closer and closer I was getting more and more anxious about getting everything done on time, staying organized, and making sure the wedding would look refined and professional instead of a Pinterest fail… Lauren is relentlessly positive and encouraging, which I found super reassuring especially as I am very high-strung and prone to dwelling on negatives… Lauren not only double-checked every possible detail to make sure it was exactly what I wanted, but also anticipated all sorts of needs that totally wouldn't have occurred to me, and was prepared for anything that could have gone wrong -- and she made it all enjoyable for me instead of stressful!
I will absolutely recommend [TGT] to anyone I know who's getting married in NYC or Nashville.

Lauren was so great! She is calm and collected and really took over during the last month so we didn't have to worry. She was great about checking in to see how we were doing, but without being intrusive. We would highly recommend her!

If it weren't for [TGT], we would have completely forgotten to have fun on our wedding day. Lauren truly has a system for everything and her attention to detail and experience allowed us to actually relax and enjoy our big day. We literally could not have done it without her. Throughout the entire process working with Lauren (and the equally fantastic Lauren R as our day-of), we felt that not only were we in the hands of professionals but also friends. She is tremendous at what she does and really cares about helping couples get through the madness that is the month-of. Thank you Lauren!

KATHRYN + MARK, Manhattan
Hiring Lauren was THE best decision we made when it came to planning our wedding. She made the month leading up to our wedding SO seamless and easy -- whether it was coordinating with all of our vendors, putting together an extremely helpful, cohesive timeline or just generally shielding us from all of the last-minute questions / details that come up when you're planning a wedding. For context, I am a pretty organized, detail-oriented person, but I have a full-time job and pulling together the details that needed to be pulled together in the month leading up to the wedding was not something I was eager to do, at all (how many vendor meals do we need? when do vendors need to arrive? how much/when do we tip them? etc. etc.). After seeing Lauren's magic at work, I'm not sure I can call myself detail-oriented anymore -- she was absolutely incredible. Not only did nothing fall through the cracks, but she thought of things I NEVER would have thought of. Most importantly, she has the experience/insight to tell you when to step back from the ledge and chill the f*** out, because it's all going to be okay. Could not recommend someone more highly than I do Lauren. Hire her!

Lauren was the absolute best planner we could have asked for!!! Our wedding was 4 hours from where we lived and a travel for her as well, which added to the stress and when she took over, all the stress disappeared! Prior to her “officially” taking over the planning, she still was there to answer any questions we had. She got us excited every time we spoke and she thought of so many things that we hadn’t yet and made it seem easy! On the day, I didn’t have one worry in the world! We were able to enjoy the day and know that everything was taken care of and we couldn’t have been more grateful. We gained a friend and I honestly missed her after the wedding!! I highly recommend her to anyone that wants a wedding that is perfection and moves with ease!

I don't think I can possibly overstate what a GAME-CHANGER having Lauren and her team in your corner on your wedding day truly is. Booking [TGT] will go down in my memory as the single best wedding decision I made aside from marrying my husband.
From my very first call with Lauren and Justine, I felt like I had my own personal cheerleaders to help me through the home stretch of wedding prep. Lauren and Justine are enthusiastic, organized, supportive, hilarious and make you feel like a star. Lauren is super detail oriented and reviews all of your wedding contracts to make sure there are no miscommunications. She thinks of everything you wouldn’t even know to think about and made me feel so much more confident that things would run smoothly on the day of…
Working with [TGT] was the gift I decided to give myself on our wedding day and I’ll forever be grateful to Lauren and Justine for allowing me to look and feel like I didn’t have a care in the world on my wedding day.

As someone who has worked in advertising for 38 years, and been involved with some incredibly complex, $1MM+ TV productions, I have to say that as I think back on many of them, they would have gone WAY more smoothly had we been using someone with your skills.
I also have to say that when I was done reading, I had to stop for a second and regroup, as I’ve never gotten a lump in my throat just reading a schedule.
Most importantly, Kim and Jacks deserve nothing less than for this to be the single best weekend of their lives, and I wanted to say thanks for helping make this weekend be perfection.

If you are even thinking about a wedding coordinator, stop thinking and reach out to Lauren. Having her as our coordinator meant we got to enjoy our wedding weekend and not sweat the small stuff, and there is a lot of small stuff! I thought I was a detail oriented person, and Lauren not only thought of so many things I wouldn't have considered, but knew how to take care of them all in a way that was perfect for us as a couple. She even kept our crazy bridal party in line and laughing at the same time!
She was the best money we spent, and she allowed us to spend time with each other and our family friends all weekend long, that's what it's all about after all!

[TGT] was literally the ONLY reason our wedding went off without a hitch. As someone who loves to be in control, it felt amazing for once to relinquish it to them, and completely put my trust and faith in them...and boy did it pay off. I was able to FULLY let go and enjoy my night, and so did my husband. My family and friends could also truly see the work behind the wedding that they did. Literally do not hit the BOOK button fast enough!!!

Lauren & Samantha were absolutely fantastic as Month of Coordinators.

We do not even know where to begin with expressing our praise towards Lauren. Our family members are still raving to us about her. Lauren made our day worry free and absolutely perfect. She was quick to respond to emails and texts. She truly made us feel like we were her number one priority, not only day of, but during the whole process. Lauren ensured all our vendors were squared away which to our knowledge, made for a seamless day. Not one small detail was overlooked, she literally thought of EVERYTHING. Not only is she super organized and professional, Lauren is the sweetest to work with. Again, our moms remind us how great it was working with her every time the wedding is brought up. Our perfect, magical wedding would not have been so flawless if it wasn’t for Lauren!

CHALLEN + ADLER, Nashville
Hiring [The Get Together Events Co.] and working with Lauren, generally speaking was the best decision we made in our wedding planning process. Lauren worked as an advocate for us during the month leading up to the wedding, allowing us to check out on the minutiae, all the while knowing that the details were being expertly handled. She was an ear for our concerns and offered expert advice when we required guidance while being a beacon of positivity and a joy to be around. The day of the wedding, we were able to sit back and enjoy knowing that our day-of coordinator, Sam (who was spectacular) had our timeline and the logistics under control. Without [TGT] and Sam, undoubtedly our family members would have been left to communicate with vendors, execute room flips, etc. while they should have been relaxing and enjoying the celebration. Hands down would (and do) recommend to anyone and everyone with a wedding on the horizon.

We had a mostly D.I.Y. wedding and we were definitely feeling overwhelmed going into the month of, but Lauren could not have been more helpful, organized and present. On the day of the wedding, Lauren's assistant was with us the whole time and was ready to help with any unforeseen issues that came up (the kind of issues that happen at ANY wedding, from helping me with my shoe buckle to overseeing the events of the day and making sure we were there to have fun and leave the "work" to her). Lauren and her team were lifesavers and we couldn't have gotten through this magical day without them. Their ease, friendliness and understanding made it easy to relax and enjoy the day.

I. AM. DEAD. Our wedding was so immaculately planned and executed so smoothly thanks to Lauren and Justine. There were ZERO issues perceived by anyone (weather aside) and Lauren and Justine have truly thought of every single detail and scenario you could possibly run into during a wedding. They make the planning process so easy, and guide you through last minute decisions you never even thought of (like what are you feeding everyone while getting ready?) to make sure you’re as completely prepared as they are. The exhaustive lists, spreadsheets and communication help keep everything so supremely organized, paired with the convenience of google sheets is a control freaks dream - yet somehow they make it easy to let go of the wheel so you are able to enjoy the day you just spent months planning. I can’t thank them enough for all their hard work, finesse, and help with every single question we asked them at 2am with a rapid response. The only thing I can say is that after watching Lauren and Justine work in action, my maid of honor NEEDED their info to plan her day. YOU NEED THEM. BOOK THEM. NOW.

Lauren and the [TGT] team were the MVPs of our wedding. Period. Hands down. I cannot fully articulate how much they meant to us and our day and how absolutely critical they were, but I will try! Thank you to Lauren, Justine, and assistant Lauren M-S for their amazingness! One of the best and most important decisions we made was hiring [TGT]…
Lauren, Justine, and Lauren M-S were phenomenal. WE were the lucky ones to have hired them. They were invested in us, our wedding, and our happiness, and we truly felt like they cared about us and our families -- and that just means the absolute world. They were such a dream to work with from beginning to end, and we would 1000% recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding coordinator/ planner. Incredible value, incredible people, the perfect blend of professional and real/down-to-earth. We are forever grateful for their dedication, energy (so much FUN!), and love they poured into our wedding day. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our magical wedding day a reality.

Where to start?! I suppose you made the right choice in coordinator when everyone that was in the bridal party keeps complimenting Lauren and her schedules and lists! I can't begin to say how important [TGT] (and Lauren herself) were to my wedding. As an event planner of sorts, I understand that when you are working with at least a half dozen vendors, that requires a lot of planning and keeping people on track. I did NOT want to have to juggle that and getting ready for my wedding, so I began looking around. It didn't take me long to remember that my fellow IU grad, Lauren, had this awesome business that sounded right up my alley! Her month-of services were the perfect middle ground between full on planner and day of coordinator. It was SUCH a relief when I handed over contracts AND communication to Lauren. Her attention to detail and weekly emails with tasks kept us on track, but not overwhelmed. I'm a very controlling, Type A planner, but it didn't take long for me to become totally comfortable with Lauren handling the preparations. Not only is Lauren the consummate professional, she also genuinely cares about her clients and their weddings. I can't say enough good things about Lauren and all the things she did for our wedding. And to top it all off, she travels and is very reasonably priced! This was a line item for the wedding that I wasn't willing to part with and thanks to her pricing, I didn't have to! If you decide to work with [TGT], you won't regret it. Our day wouldn't have been the same without Lauren and Sam and we truly thank them from the bottom of our hearts!

Okay where do I start. I worked with Lauren and Justine on my July wedding at 501 Union and they were INCREDIBLE. Seriously - logistics pros, super organized, super fun, problem solvers, wedding therapists - They. Are. EVERYTHING! Book them right now. You might not think you need a coordinator to run the show, but trust me when I say, having someone help work with your vendors (especially when you suddenly decide you need a hanging floral installation TEN DAYS before your wedding!) will save your life, your sanity, and your marriage (probably). I thought I was super organized about my wedding before I met them, but I can't even compare to them - they seriously pulled the whole thing together. Even solved day of issues (like when my florist delivered a small bouquet instead of a floral collar for my dog - Justine crafted him a collar out of loose flowers and ribbon!) and made the day flow easily and smoothly. Seriously, book them. Right now.

My husband and I have said over and over that the best decision we made in our wedding planning process was to hire [TGT]. Lauren considered every single little detail you could possibly think of and took everything off our plates for the month leading up to the wedding. Her timelines were super helpful and allowed us to stay productive without getting overwhelmed. She was so positive and sweet which allowed us to be relaxed and excited for our big day. Julie and Liz were our day-of team and they were incredible, keeping us sane, happy and hydrated the entire day. HIGHLY recommend!

Lauren was so essential to our wedding day — we couldn’t have done it without her. We hired her as a month-of coordinator and it was the best decision we could have made. She gave us great recommendations and guidance off the bat, when we first started planning, and helped us put together a “dream team,” which she was an integral part of. She was incredibly organized, responsive, positive, professional, friendly and chill — everything you need to help pull off such an important, stress-inducing event. I am so grateful we found Lauren. Cannot recommend her highly enough!

To say that Lauren and Justine were our wedding planner and day-of coordinator would be a vast understatement! They were such fun people to work with during our wedding planning season, and were our biggest cheerleaders, friends, and support. Lauren is incredibly organized, energetic, and great at communication. She was able to coordinate the entire day schedule to minute detail; she also checked in with us almost every day with updates, manageable to-do lists, and just to see how we were feeling. When our wedding day arrived, Justine took over and my husband and I were able to fully enjoy and celebrate the special day with zero worries! She coordinated with the vendors seamlessly from beginning to end. Justine was also such a cheery and encouraging presence around our bridal party, parents, and ring bearer. My husband was very grateful that she guided him through his bow tie meltdown (not easy to tie!) :). Through the night she made sure we stayed hydrated and fed, and even took a bunch of extra photos and videos for us. We honestly could not recommend [TGT] enough – they are not only great professionals but great people as well!

[The Get Together Events Co.] was without question the best investment we made for our wedding! My husband and I were very hesitant about booking coordinators as we thought we would be able to manage on our own. We were so wrong! From the very beginning, Lauren and Michelle were incredibly organized, flexible, creative, and understanding. They were extremely professional in a way that allowed us all to laugh and enjoy the process instead of getting caught up in the stress! Michelle was our day of coordinator, but even though she wasn’t there, Lauren was involved every step of the way. From encouraging words to reminders that we needed to enjoy our time with family and friends because this is a once in a lifetime experience. From first thing in the morning until we left the wedding, Michelle could not have been more helpful! Whenever we needed her, she was there… but somehow still managed to coordinate EVERYTHING we hadn’t seen. Our wedding was supposed to be outside, but last minute we had to make the decision to move inside. Even if she was worried, we had no idea at all! She reassured us (several times) that our wedding would be beautiful, and she would do everything she could to make it feel like it was outside, even if it wasn’t. We will be forever grateful to both Lauren and Michelle for making our day the best day of our lives. I couldn’t have dreamed up a better team! THANK YOU endlessly!

Lauren and Michelle are literal LIFESAVERS! They stepped in a month before our wedding and took all of our stresses away. I was in WAY over my head from the get go and I am 100% sure our wedding would have been a train wreck if it weren't for [TGT]. THANK YOU!!!

Lauren, Justine, and her team were the superglue and building blocks to our wedding. Our wedding was in Brooklyn, at a beautiful venue where I had to provide my own caterer, florist, DJ, and everything. I had so much envisioned for my wedding and wanted many things to be DIY, but I had no idea it was going to be so tough to organize everything. From the second I met Lauren through google hangout, I knew she was going to be able to turn my dreams into reality. She is organized and thorough, while still able to give you space to think and dream - though she won't let you fall behind. She kept me on track throughout the month prior to the wedding, and made sure the hundreds of pieces came together as one. She responds immediately to your needs and comes up with questions you didn't even realize needed to be answered (but would have surely been a stressor had they not been!). On the day of the wedding, Justine took out small fires for me - and even calmed me down and fixed everything when one of the vendors had thrown me a curve ball (bridesmaid hairstylist mis-hap). With Lauren and her team, I felt at ease throughout my wedding and actually enjoyed the entire day. The best day of my life really happened because of all my vendors and Lauren's team - and I cannot imagine it having gone any better. Thank you!!!

Working with [TGT] was the BEST decision we made for our wedding. From the start, talking through everything with them gave us so much peace of mind. I am a designer and work in events, so as you can imagine, I was very detail oriented and particular about our wedding. [TGT] delivered the vision we had for our wedding to a level I couldn't even imagine. On top of all of that, we just had a lot of fun working with them to make our wedding dreams a reality. Very, very good vibes all around from these folks. You can tell they genuinely are about their clients. Take my advice and book them NOW before their calendars fill up for your event. They are the absolute best!

I’m incredibly organized and went into planning my wedding thinking there was no way I needed a coordinator… Wrong! Hiring [TGT] single-handedly saved me from becoming a total bridezilla and stressing out on my day rather than having a great time. From start to finish, Lauren and Justine were always a step ahead. They asked me questions that I would have NEVER thought regarding details, timing, preferences, you name it! They are truly wedding experts and will give you their honest opinions based on real life experience on how things can best flow and go together seamlessly. They were always available when I had a question (or a meltdown!) and – most importantly – had the most incredibly positive personalities that made me feel like they had it covered and it would all work out great! They handled communications with all of our vendors leading up to our big day and made sure that all outstanding questions and concerns were addressed. From the early morning on my wedding day, Justine was on top of everything! She showed up to my room like a little ray of sunshine with her binder full of every detail we had gone over. Since I trusted Justine to work her magic, I was able to relax a bit and enjoy getting ready, my first look and spending time with my bridesmaids beforehand, rather than worrying about all of the setup downstairs. We received compliments all night about how great everything was and how sweet + helpful Justine had been - not only for us but for our other vendors, parents, grandparents and guests! I would recommend [TGT] in a heartbeat and cannot stress how important it is to have people like Lauren and Justine around to help execute your big day perfectly!

As an event planner myself, I didn't feel right hiring a full-on wedding planner to work with me throughout the entire planning process. That said, I definitely wanted someone capable who could run the show leading up to the wedding and day of. I started working with Lauren about a month out, and I thank my lucky stars I did. She took over all vendor relationships, managed all logistics with everyone from my family and wedding party to every single vendor. She wrote pack lists, logistic memos, a schedule (down to nearly the minute.... no, seriously), and more then distributed them to every single relevant person -- and I didn't have to think about any of it! I felt so at ease working with Lauren. Her work style is clear, efficient, and incredibly thorough. She made me feel calm, confident, and excited about the crazy day. She managed a large group of insane people (my closest friends and family, haha) with poise, competence, and a great attitude. I am beyond grateful for her and would recommend her to ANYONE. Honestly, the budget that went towards hiring her was by far the most valuable line item in the entire spreadsheet. I would hire her again a million times over.

Lauren and Justine went above and beyond to make our wedding day perfect! Honestly, it was better than anything I could've dreamed of. Besides everything going off without a hitch, the weeks leading up to it were planned and executed seamlessly by Lauren and Justine. From the moment I met Lauren and Justine, I knew our wedding was already in great hands. Lauren is extremely organized, attentive to details and has an answer and solution to everything! Seriously, EVERYTHING! Justine has the most amazing energy and can-do attitude, which makes her the perfect person to execute alongside all of Lauren's planning details…
[TGT] are wedding experts! Not only are they extremely skilled at what they do, it's evident that they have a ton of experience in the wedding biz. Do yourself a favor and book them ASAP for a stress-free, fun, and perfect wedding day!

Booking [TGT] was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! We got married at The Green Building (Brooklyn) in April 2019. We used Lauren as our month-of coordinator and Julie was our day-of contact and coordinator. We have nothing but awesome things to say about both of them. They were both extremely organized, detail-oriented, and professional. It was a big bonus that they were both familiar with our venue and had done many other weddings there. Lauren and Julie got involved ~6 weeks out from the wedding, right at crunch time when everything was getting extra crazy. At this time, they also became the official points of contact for our vendors so we only had to communicate with them and they would coordinate with everyone else. They were both very timely in answering emails. On the day-of, Julie was present at our venue starting at 9AM, supervising load-in and set-up and also constantly communicating with the maid of honor/best man to make sure the bridal party was on schedule and didn’t need anything. She was there for every step of the day - she distributed our vendor tips, rescued one of the bridesmaids from a mysterious stain on her dress, helped steam my (the bride!) dress when it got some last minute wrinkles, and checked in with me and the groom periodically once the festivities officially began, letting us know where we were in the schedule. In the days leading up to our big day, we constantly found ourselves saying how grateful we were for Lauren and Julie and all of their planning. They are very good at their jobs and were truly a pleasure to work with. Having them onboard allowed us to fully enjoy every minute of our wedding without having to stress the small things. If you’re on the fence about hiring a day-of/month-of coordinator, you NEED to and you NEED to hire Lauren. We highly recommend [TGT]!

Hiring [TGT] was the best use of our wedding budget money. Being able to hand over all vendor communication the month of was huge in relieving planning anxiety, and allowed us to enjoy our wedding day and everything leading up to it. Lauren is incredibly organized and such an easy person to get along with. We cannot imagine our wedding with out her.

I loved working with [TGT]!!! I cannot say enough good things about them. Lauren and Laura were so great to work with, from planning every little detail the month before to coordinating the wedding day, they were so great. I am SOO glad Laura was there on our wedding day, as I could never have handled coordinating the day without her. She did so many things behind the scenes and helped keep things running smoothly. And Lauren built us a perfect schedule and brought up so many ideas and details I had not even thought about. Book [TGT]!! You will not regret it!

My husband and I cannot say enough amazing things about Lauren and Justine! They were incredibly organized, thoughtful, knowledgeable and communicative during our month of planning. They also have great personalities and are easy to work with. I would say one of their strengths was their ability to see your vision for your wedding with you, but also have incredible foresight to let you know what obstacles may be in your way. Lauren and Justine have a young, fresh outlook and can help you plan a seamless, traditional wedding or a unique, eclectic event. Lastly, they are incredibly hard workers who will work long hours effortlessly and make you feel super special. We highly recommend them and actually will miss their daily email check-ins!

To say Lauren is a miracle worker is an understatement. From the month-out of our wedding, Lauren held my hand along the way, helping with vendor relations, answering questions, providing creative suggestions, and more! I was blown away by Lauren's composure, organization, enthusiasm, and genuine love for ensuring our wedding day was flawless. Above all, all her work allowed my wedding party, family, partner, and me to focus on the most important thing: soak in our wedding day. Thank you Lauren! We love you!

Lauren and Laura were incredible, from start to finish. Ultra-attentive, ultra-organized, and ultra-affordable, they handled everything we could have hoped for and a lot more with professionalism and respect and fun. I would recommend [The Get Together Events Co.] to any couple getting married in Nashville. They are amazing.

[TGT] was the best decision I ever made during the wedding planning process. They are the most organized, detail-oriented and responsive team but most importantly, straight up LOVELY people. The kind of people you should make sure to surround yourself with during the lead-up to the big day. Lauren, I couldn't have done it without you sister, truly. Justine, I can't thank you enough -- your calming (and fun!) presence made the weekend even more special.

Lauren and Laura were an amazing team. They were both so helpful and organized. Lauren helped so much with the last month before the wedding and eased my mind so much knowing there was someone else. Laura was so sweet and helped with everything the day of the wedding! Best money spent with the wedding!! Love them and would highly recommend!

Lauren was the very best thing that happened to our wedding, hands down. We took off a few days of work ahead of the wedding thinking we would be so busy tying up loose ends, but Lauren had taken care of EVERYTHING and more. We were able to be fully relaxed and present throughout the entire last month of our wedding planning & the whole wedding weekend. That was the best gift we could have ever received! Lauren was thoughtful, kind, and so very helpful throughout the whole experience. I'm sad the wedding is over and will miss my weekly emails from Lauren. Lauren is one of the key factors that takes a good wedding to an unforgettable wedding!

We had an amazing experience working with Lauren! I was looking for a wedding coordinator who would not only understand what was important to us on our Big Day and help execute our vision, but also help shed light on anything I may have missed while planning. Thank g-d we found Lauren because she exceeded our expectations. She was on top of EVERY detail and thought of so many important things I hadn't considered. She knew all the right questions to ask our vendors and worked tirelessly to ensure everyone was aligned. Our wedding party mentioned how impressed they were with her attention to detail and her calm (and fun!) demeanor. We loved working with Lauren and would absolutely recommend her!

Lauren and Justine with [TGT] were absolutely the best decision we ever made during wedding planning. The day would not have been possible had they not helped us so much the last month and made sure everything ran smoothly day of. They are both incredibly friendly, professional and think of every possible detail for the day. They took over the relationship between us and our vendors so the stress from that was relieved. They also thought of so many details and ideas that we would have never come up with. They are creative, extremely helpful and I am forever grateful for their hard work to make our wedding day such a success. We can't thank you both enough for making our vision of the day come to life!!

CHRI + GEORGE, New York
Words cannot express how amazing it was to work with Lauren! She was truly a key element in making all of our wedding go not only smoothly, but above and beyond what we could have ever imagined. We live in Seattle and got married in New York so it was very important to have someone we can trust and be at ease with. Her attention to detail, dedication and patience was great. She provided solutions when we had questions or concerns. She defended anything that we needed to defend in conversation with vendors. On the day of, she gave both of us so much peace and we felt worry less and that we were in very good hands. On a personality note, Lauren has the the kind of energy that you want/need to have around you. She is a happy, energetic and lovely. We felt like we became friends through it all. Thank You, Lauren!!!

KATHLEEN + MIKE, Brooklyn
My then-fiancé and now-husband Mike and I were looking for a month-of coordinator to help us with our December 15, 2016 wedding at The Green Building, as we both work multiple jobs and have never planned a wedding before! Lauren was highly recommended by our friend, and we are SO LUCKY we hired her! She was incredibly helpful in the month leading up to the wedding, making all our "Ts" were crossed and "i's" dotted, continuously available, but never pushy or stressful to work or talk with. Her energy is always positive, upbeat, and focused on making sure your wedding is everything you dream it could be. And then, the week of the wedding...
I found out that I, since I was understudying a play at the time, would very likely have to perform the night of our wedding. AUGH! Lauren was nothing short of a miracle - she helped me put together multiple contingency plans, choose the best one and organize the new timeline. In the midst of all the insanity, Lauren was a solid rock of sensible enthusiasm and quick thinking. I honestly have no idea what we would have done without her. She is worth her weight in gold! Thank you, Lauren, for everything, and for making our wedding even more magical than I could have dreamed!

CLAIRE + CHRIS, Brooklyn
[TGT] was one of the best purchases we made for our wedding. The month of coordination was key for us, as our venue did not provide any planning of the vendors. We ended up having +10 vendors and Lauren and Justine worked with them seamlessly. Justine was our on site coordinator and she was phenomenal. Our bridal party was so impressed by her - she made our day so easy. It was truly like we were guests at our own wedding. If you are thinking of hiring on site coordinators - month of is the only way to go! Hire Lauren and her team of experts for their great attitudes, attention to detail and follow through!

We will be eternally grateful to Lauren and her team for making our wedding the best weekend of our lives. We were overly ambitious on all we wanted to include for our wedding and had a lot of moving parts. Lauren stepped in seamlessly and made sure it all happened without a single hiccup. She coordinated all communications for our vendors, bridal party and family and was a consummate professional. I could also tell how genuinely happy she was for us and took such pride in doing her job. She's truly like a ninja, except armed with the brightest smile as if all is under control at all times :) She was 100% presence when we needed her and off accomplishing some other task when we didn't. Thank you Lauren and your team for doing such a fantastic job!!

AMY + RYAN, Nashville
[The Get Together Events Co.] was hands down the best thing to happen to my wedding day, aside from actually getting married. Working with Lauren was easy and seamless, and she took care of every single detail I could have ever thought of (as well as many more that I would have NEVER thought of), which majorly helped my stress level in the month leading up to the big day. Lauren is prompt, organized, efficient and personable, and can answer any question you could have about the wedding process better than anyone else I’ve encountered. I had quite a few unexpected life stressors pop up in the two weeks before my wedding (think broken bones and homeowner struggles) and Lauren eased every worry and handled everything, assuring me that things would be taken care of and I could take care of myself and my own business without agonizing over wedding details and logistics. The day-of “boots on the ground” coordinator with [TGT], Laura, was also a dream to work with and made my wedding day (which is notoriously one of the most stressful days in a bride’s life) one of the smoothest and easiest days ever! She exuded kindness and calm, which helped calm me down so much and kept me present and grounded to enjoy every moment of the day. When I say I did not have to worry about a single thing, I mean it! Every tiny detail was handled before it even crossed my mind. Every vendor, bridal party member and family member couldn’t stop raving about how wonderful the [TGT] team was to work with. My husband even said, “I’ve been in a lot of weddings, and I’ve never had a coordinator go above and beyond and communicate this well with everyone involved!” I’d hire [The Get Together] again in a heartbeat, and could not possibly rave about them enough. I’m so happy Lauren and her team were a part of my wedding day. NOW STOP READING THIS AND GO BOOK HER BEFORE SOMEONE ELSE DOES!"

Lauren is a thorough, meticulous, yet friendly wedding coordinator. She made the weeks leading up to the wedding less stressful. The day itself, seamless. She: 1) Went on a site visit with us, obtaining the decor, catering and floor plans from the venue; 2) Coordinated between all the different vendors, flawlessly; 3) Spoke with us throughout the process about our vision and how to coordinate that; 4) Made 6-star logistics and planning memos and then sent them in advance to the relevant friends and family, with each person’s role individualized; 5) Sent us emails each week with discrete tasks, simplifying the wedding process, but not in a heavy-handed way; 6) She ran the wedding rehearsal the day before; AND 5) Managed the actual wedding day, making it seamless and stress-free. Note: Lauren is very friendly and approachable. Other people who are as detail-oriented can be stuffy, or worse. We could not recommend Lauren enough.

Lauren helped us put on the wedding of our dreams! We truly could not have done it without her. She was amazing to work with and so supportive through the entire process. After our first meeting with her, with the wedding a month out, we felt such a huge weight lifted off our shoulders. She made everything fall into place and had answers to all of our questions and concerns. Day-of, everything went incredibly smoothly because of her. All our vendors loved working with her and our families were so impressed with her work. She made it so we could just enjoy ourselves, not worrying about logistics on our wedding day. We would highly recommend anyone to work with her!

Lauren is AMAZING! Our wedding came together perfectly with little stress thanks to her amazing work. She is beyond organized and such a joy to work with. She truly thinks of everything!

Words cannot express how much Lauren and Justine helped to make our day so special. Their energy, enthusiasm and positive, supportive vibes really carried us through that stressful month before, and helped us relax and remember what was important through the process. While they made their mark on our wedding in ways we will always remember and appreciate, the beauty is that it truly felt like our vision. They helped us organize and sort through all the details; during the planning stages it's easy to get swept up and forget to see the forest for the trees, but without even knowing it Lauren and Justine helped to make our wedding everything we had hoped for. Hiring them was the best decision we made for sure. I can't imagine what our day (and all the days before) would have been without them. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Hiring Lauren as our wedding coordinator was literally THE BEST wedding decision we made (besides marrying each other). She went above and beyond in her communication with every single one of our vendors, was incredibly organized and on top of her game, and somehow miraculously handled every little detail, flaw, and hiccup with poise AND attention to detail. Our entire bridal party was raving about her, and our guests are still commenting about how seamless the entire event was (Thanks to Lauren!). Not to mention, she is just an absolute joy to be around. Honestly, I can say that my wedding day was everything I ever dreamed it could be, and there is no doubt in my mind that I owe that to Lauren. Hire her and expect your day to be perfect. End of story.

JESSICA + JOSH, Nashville
Lauren is an absolute dream, a miracle worker, a wedding wonder woman, and also a whole lot of fun to spend time with. When I started planning my wedding on my own I kept thinking "I got this" until little logistical details started keeping me up all night as I got closer and closer to the wedding. Hiring Lauren was the best thing my husband and I could have done to make our wedding even more perfect. Lauren is organized, thoughtful, kind, and always went the extra mile to make things easier for us and put our worries to rest. Every single person in our wedding party commented on how much they loved her and couldn't believe we had found someone so amazing to run the show. Lauren is detail-oriented, thoughtful, and innovative. She is a logistical mastermind and gave consideration to every tiny detail of our wedding. As the first person in my friend group to get married-- I didn't have a lot of reference points for how a wedding operates, but Lauren was so easy to talk to and always understood exactly what I was trying to say during our conversations. I trusted her completely and appreciated every piece of advice or suggestion she put forward. She was such a joy to work with, lovely to talk with during our Skype meetings, and made our wedding even more enjoyable. I'd recommend her to absolutely anyone!

In the month leading up to our wedding, I found myself saying maybe once a day “what in the world would we have done without Lauren”?? I was one of those brides who was convinced I’d be able to execute everything without any help, since our venue and vendors were all pretty straight forward. But as the day approached, I realized there were SO many small details and logistics that I just couldn’t manage! Our decision to hire Lauren was the best one we made. She took over everything in the last month, from planning day-of logistics and final payments with vendors, to figuring out the dance set timing with our band, to making sure I didn’t forget to pack anything. On the actual day of my wedding, I was blissfully unaware of all the last-minute happenings going on, and was just able to sit back and enjoy the day. My mom, who was very involved with the planning, was singing her praises all day as well. Don’t think twice – hire Lauren!

BETTY + ANDY, Brooklyn
Hiring [TGT] was the BEST decision!!! I could not be more pleased with Lauren S and Lauren R and how our intimate Brooklyn wedding turned out. They are PROS and took over the month before our wedding. I thought I had most of the planning done but [TGT] took it to the next level organizing all our vendor contracts and confirming all the nitty-gritty details around decor, timing, logistics. We had the TIME OF OUR LIVES at our wedding and were able to relax and be fully present knowing [TGT] was running the show. Treat yo self and hire [TGT]. You won’t regret it!!!!


LIZ + TED, Brooklyn
What can we say about Lauren. This lady has the disposition of a camp counselor, the organization of a librarian, and the excellence and rigor of a drill sergeant. She is unbelievable and our wedding ran without one single hitch because of her. Well, there was one hitch, when my dearly beloved got chocolate sauce all over my dress (thankfully a second "after party" dress, but still), at which point Lauren showed up to the bathroom with numerous tools in hand to remove the stain in the bathroom sink, while I stood naked in the corner. If that isn't the sign of truly dedicated coordinator who goes the extra mile, I'm just not sure what is. Lauren came in at the one month mark and took a ton off our plate. Delegation and trust are not my personal strong suits, but Lauren had such confidence, organization and expertise that I found myself really comfortable allowing her to take over. I am so glad I did, because she did a better job than I ever could have. She thought of details that would have never occurred to us, but which would've profoundly impacted the flow of our day and the experience for us and our guests. She was in touch numerous times per week leading up to the wedding with updates and key logistical questions to ensure a seamless event. During our wedding, she executed my vision perfectly, with included a lot of small DIY details that I wasn't available to pull together during the event. I really can't say enough about Lauren, both professionally and personally. She seamlessly corrals challenging family members and other vendors with her positive attitude and a well timed joke. Also, as a pretty nervous bride, I felt incredibly comforted to know that Lauren was always nearby with a thumbs up and a wink ("you're doing great sweetie!") Net net, hire lauren!! You will NOT be disappointed.

[The Get Together Events Co.] was incredibly helpful in planning and conducting our daughter's recent wedding in Nashville, TN. We could not be happier with the quality of the service provided and the truly exceptional value. Lauren and her staff provided great advice and helpful suggestions throughout the planning process as well as providing a very professional interface with all the vendors during the days leading up to the wedding and at the event itself. Navigating the maze of vendor interactions would have been so much more difficult without this wonderful service. [The Get Together Events Co.] contributed significantly to making this wedding a truly wonderful event with greatly reduced stress on the bride and groom and their families.

Lauren and Justine made not only the day of the wedding run without any faults, but also the weeks leading up to it. From the first planning meeting with Lauren, it was evident to me that the wedding was in superbly capable hands. She took over communication with the vendors and confirmed every single moving part of the wedding to create a master schedule, and then check in every step of the way to be sure that everyone was aware of the scheduling and to get live updates on the status of the schedule. Her organization made it simple for us to understand what tasks we had left to do and clearly showed a plan to execute all outstanding items. I wasn't worried about forgetting any details because I knew Lauren had them all handled and would also check all of them with us while adding her experienced suggestions.
On the day of the wedding, Lauren and Justine went beyond my imagination in how proactive, cheerful, helpful, and all around amazing they were.Lauren cued each parent and bridesmaid when to walk down the aisle in the ceremony. Justine communicated with our reception venue and helped set it up while the ceremony was ongoing. At the end of the night, Justine was able to pack up all items and make sure everything we needed to return to us got back to us that evening safely. There was no stress in either getting what we needed to the venue or taking everything back home. Due to Lauren's organization with her pack lists prior to the wedding and Justine's meticulousness, there was nothing in question for us.
Hiring Lauren was our best wedding decision - we can't have imagined our day running so seamlessly without her and her team. Any prospective couples out there should get their dates on Lauren's calendar and rest assured that their day will run perfectly. We had the most magical day, and not once were we concerned about any planning details. Our vendors, bridal party, and guests noted how organized and smooth the event ran, all thanks to [TGT]!

ELIZABETH + FORTU, Nashville
I am serious when I say that hiring Lauren was the best thing I did when planning my wedding. As someone prone to worrying, the closer I got to the wedding the more nervous I became. Because Lauren is a month of coordinator, her services began at just the moment I needed them to! It felt like she was ten steps ahead of me in the best way. She took charge of EVERY vendor communication, checked in with me regularly about how I was feeling, crated my timeline, validated my concerns, brainstormed with me, and ensured that ever last detail I dreamed of came to fruition. Because of this, I did not have to worry on the week of my wedding. I was free to have FUN and soak in all the precious moments. She is a dream, really. And she was SO accessible. She is more organized than I will ever dream of being. And not only that, she has a wonderful personality and was so fun to hang out with on my wedding day. If you are on the fence about having a month of coordinator, DO IT! And you can't beat Lauren. She is the best of the best.

Lauren was a dream wedding planner. From day one she made my fiancee and I feel at ease. She was responsive, calm and fun to work with! At our kick-off one-month out she drew up an entire timeline with every single detail we could ever think of and she followed up throughout to make sure everything was executed to our vision. Day of we didn't have to worry about a thing because Lauren was on top of it. I couldn't recommend her more! Our vendors loved working with her too. Hire this woman, it will be the best money you ever spent!

SUSAN, Mother of the Bride
We decided to use a month of wedding planner and had a few recommended by friends and the venue. I contacted several and after careful thought and gut instinct decided to use Lauren. She was absolutely the right person for us! We already knew that we would want to select our own vendors but wanted someone who could come in and manage all the moving parts. Not only was she very easy to communicate with, she reviewed the entire event and made suggestions for what she thought were missing pieces. Such as a microphone for the ceremony!!!!!!! Her pleasant demeanor, super efficiency, and enthusiasm she made us feel that an incredibly complicated and expensive event would go off without a hitch, and it did. She steps into your life at one of the most incredible and stressful times and made sure everyone was not only doing their jobs but that you as the parents and the couple have the best time celebrating and just knowing that everything is being handled with professionalism and kindness. I can’t thank her enough or recommend her more highly. ….. still smiling Mother of the Bride!

I cannot say enough about Lauren! I hired Lauren two months before my wedding and to this day am convinced it was the best decision that I have ever made. She was the most reliable person I have ever worked with! Lauren took note of everything that I communicated to her, be it in person, over the phone or over email. She helped to execute on my vision not only my wedding day, but the day before with a Welcome Party we had planned and the day after with a Farewell Brunch. Lauren was organized, positive, kind and had the best attitude, all while juggling a million things my wedding weekend. She always had the warmest smile and was able to effectively manage a wedding party of over 20 people. She is talented and incredibly diligent, and I cannot say enough about her experience. Having Lauren there my wedding weekend allowed me to spend time with my fiance, guests and family and not worry about the little stuff. The weekend turned out spectacular and I still have guests telling me how amazingly well organized the day was and I have Lauren to thank for that!

Lauren was an absolute God-send! Upon first impression we knew we would get along with her. She was so sweet, funny, energetic and personable. We don’t know what we would have done without her expertise during the busiest month of our lives. My husband and I are very organized people but Lauren took organization to another level. We had to work with multiple vendors for our wedding venue and Lauren took the responsibility of communicating with them all during that last month. When things would get stressful, we were reassured because we knew we had Lauren! The day of, Lauren was on top of it ALL. Our vendors, family, friends and even our Priest made mention of how great she was to work with. We were truly blessed to have such an awesome coordinator and we would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust and depend on for the biggest day of their lives!

I loved designing and planning every detail of my wedding, but I knew I needed someone to execute my plans and address any mishaps that might arise. That is exactly what Lauren did! From our very first meeting, she immediately demonstrated that she could take all my plans and execute them exactly how I pictured. She went above-and-beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. From typing up changes to the ceremony script at 1AM the night before the wedding to swooping in with Goldfish crackers to calm a fussy flower girl-- she had it all under control. Lauren's knowledge and professionalism allowed me to be fully present and relaxed on my wedding day, instead of worrying about centerpieces and schedules.

LAUREN SCHAEFER IS THE CONSUMMATE PROFESSIONAL! This review (by the MoB) is long overdue, but I wanted to share my gratitude for ALL that Lauren did to make Kathleen and Michael’s wedding magical -- mid-size wedding and reception (130 guests) on a Thursday evening at The Green Building in Brooklyn. Chef Rossi & Raging Skillet did the catering, Quyn Duong was the photographer -- all fantastic! Kathleen and Michael are actors with day jobs, and we live in Atlanta, so we knew that we’d need help with logistics. Lauren worked with us to get everything arranged, giving good advice but always respecting – even anticipating – what Kathleen and Michael wanted. Then the night of her wedding, Kathleen ended up going onstage as an understudy for Zoe Kazan in the Roundabout Theater production of “Love, Love, Love.” The heroine of the behind the scenes story is LAUREN. She contacted The Green Building, the caterers, the photographers and all the guests to keep them updated on this crazy development, arranged to extend the reception for an extra hour to enable the newlyweds to return to their reception after the show and enjoy all the traditional activities like cutting the cake, toasts, dances. Wedding day - Lauren arranged for guests to be greeted with a glass of champagne or sparkling water as they arrived so that they could mingle with the bride and groom (who opted NOT to stay hidden away before the ceremony). Afterwards the (beautiful!) ceremony, Lauren choreographed a send-off line as the newlyweds headed off to the theater district, kept the flow of the evening going smoothly – drinks, passed hors d’oeuvres, and food stations, music and dancing – and cued the DJ when at 10:30 Kathleen and Michael returned. Lauren’s attention to detail, her warmth and calm, her ability to keep everything on track were amazing. I recommend her enthusiastically and without reservation!

Fate connected us with [The Get Together Events Co.] just six short weeks before our wedding - just at the point where my fiancé and I thought ‘how are we going to pull this off ourselves without a superhero to help us on our big day? And then I received an email introducing me to Lauren. Phew! Lauren’s organizational skills, creativity, patience and all around ‘can do!’ spirit ensured that our garden wedding went off without a hitch. And if there was a hitch, we never knew it because Lauren made everything look perfect and appear seamless. Thanks to Lauren, we were able to hand her the reins and thoroughly enjoy our wedding day without having to worry about anything at all. She even got the rain to stop and the sun to come out at the perfect time! The first person a newly-engaged couple should call after sharing their good news with family is Lauren.

Working with Lauren was hands down the best decision we made about our wedding. She helped us think through every detail and executed the day flawlessly. It was so easy to communicate with her the month leading up to our wedding as she asked questions to help fill in any holes that we had overlooked in our own planning process. Our wedding took place in a raw venue and we handmade everything except for the food (including constructing a light curtain). Lauren kept the setup with our family and friends lighthearted and moving along and she worked seamlessly with our vendors. We were able to relax and enjoy our wedding because we knew that everything was in the best hands possible. Lauren is incredible at her job not only because she is so detail-oriented, organized, positive, and great at solving problems, but also because she is an amazing person. We loved working with her, and our families did, too!

Lauren went above and beyond to help us every step of the way in our last month of wedding planning. She was professional, gentle, fun and stayed focused on the big picture while never letting go of details. She kept in touch with us daily and we could tell that all our vendors loved her too. She exceeded all expectations and went the extra mile on the day of to make sure that the things we were worried about had extra attention. She also had GREAT recommendations for other vendors and even little details like the right umbrellas and candles to order. Don't think twice about hiring her - she's amazing!!

I don’t even know where to begin! Lauren was nothing short of amazing every step of the way. She truly made me feel like I was the only bride she was working with. Our wedding was a destination in Nashville and I was able to go into my wedding weekend stress free knowing Lauren was handling every detail. I would highly recommend Lauren and her services. There is no way my wedding would have been what it was without her!

Having Lauren come in 30 days before our wedding was a life saver! After our first meeting, both my husband and I left feeling less stressed and more excited for our day. After a year of planning on our own, it was the first time we could really see a picture of what our day would look like! Lauren was so organized and on top of everything! On the day of our wedding, Lauren made sure everything ran smoothly and we truly felt taken care of. I would recommend [TGT] to all of my friends without hesitation!

LAURIE, Mother of the Bride
In an attempt to have a very unique wedding my daughter and her fiancé decided to use multiple vendors and do much of the signs,decor and games on their own. This meant tons to coordinate with vendors coming at various times, carloads from our home and boxes to pack and unpack.
Enter Lauren, wedding coordinator extraordinaire! Lauren coordinated drop offs, pickups, people, and made this mother of the bride feel relaxed knowing every detail was being handled exactly as we had planned. I cannot speak highly enough of her services.

HILLARY + MICHAEL, Brooklyn
Our experience with [The Get Together Events Co.] was incredible. She was flexible around our schedule and gave us all the love and support we could've asked for. She checked in with us regularly and handled even the smallest details (noting in our day of schedule what we were planning to eat for breakfast!). Lauren was a pleasure to work with and we would recommend her to anyone looking for a top notch wedding planner who will help beautifully execute your dream wedding!

Lauren is the ultimate chill pill and is ten steps ahead of you at all times. She is creative and resourceful with her planning, and her consistent knowledge and professionalism exceeding my expectations. If it weren't for Lauren, I don't know if we would have pulled off half of what we wanted to.

JESSICA + JORDAN, Manhattan
Hiring Lauren was the best money we spent on our wedding. My husband and I have been singing her praises ever since—let me explain why. First, for the month leading up to our wedding, Lauren was the primary contact for *all* of our vendors (and even for our relatively simple wedding, we had a lot of vendors). Instead of emailing and calling back and forth with caterers and musicians and florists, we just told Lauren what we wanted from each of them, and she made it happen. Second, Lauren spent the full month leading up to our wedding helping us create a detailed, play-by-play outline of the wedding. Any time we had a question, she either knew the answer or knew where we could find it. Lauren kept all the details straight, and by the day of the wedding, she knew the plan cold—probably better than either of us—and she ran the wedding just how we envisioned. Third, Lauren works really, really hard. Our venue opened at 8AM the day of our wedding, and Lauren and her assistant Justine were there at 8AM, if not a bit earlier. When the festivities ended 13 hours later, Lauren and Justine were still going. They handled the bulk of the set up and a bunch of the clean up, and were probably the last ones to leave the venue (we were long gone by that point). Last, Lauren is so easy and pleasant to work with. She was super positive and encouraging throughout the whole process. You want a coordinator who can take charge and be assertive, but who your vendors and your bridal party and your friends / family will enjoy interacting with—that’s definitely Lauren. And one final point, Lauren was an amazing value. For all the time and expertise she put into our wedding, she would’ve been a bargain at several times the price. In conclusions: five stars. You should hire Lauren now before she gets booked.

Lauren is an amazing "month-of" wedding planner! She took my daughter's dreams, planning and prep work and turned it into a reality. She managed all the plans and allowed us to just enjoy the day. As mother of the bride, I can't say enough about how on top of all the details she was and how gracious and kind she was as she took care of the wedding party, our family and friends and made the whole day run smoothly.

HALEY + PAUL, New York
Lauren was the best money we spent on our wedding. Period. By a long shot. Initially, we were against the idea of hiring a wedding coordinator. We felt that we could handle it all on our own. That’s the way our parents did it, so why couldn’t we? But as our plans for our wedding expanded, we grew open to exploring the idea, so we spoke with a few coordinators. Lauren was one of four that we interviewed. While most of the coordinators were nice and seemed competent enough, Lauren gelled with us instantly. Her humor, professionalism, and enthusiasm immediately put us at ease. She got what we were trying to do with our offbeat dinosaur theme, and she shared our vision. She also had an immediate level of organization that, even in that first phone call, began to alleviate some of the stress that had begun to weigh on us. One of the things she offered that we really liked was a comprehensive and personal packing “prep” list and schedule for our wedding. Everything and everyone was accounted for, and all responsibilities were laid out and clear before our wedding began. That made us feel so at ease. On the day of the wedding, Lauren knew where everyone and everything went, she knew everyone’s name, and she was ready to troubleshoot any problem that might arise. And as they do at weddings, problems did arise. One of our vendors failed us in a significant way on our wedding day, and thanks to Lauren, we had no idea there was ever an issue. Lauren took care of it discreetly and professionally, and we were (gratefully) none the wiser. One of the many things we love about Lauren is how well she worked with all our vendors, issues or not. Our site manager absolutely fell in love with her, and they worked really well together. And Lauren recommended to us a DJ who could not have been more attentive, thoughtful, and perfect. (Thanks, DJ Brent Fierro!) We had a lot of ideas for our wedding. Lauren helped us sort through them and figure out what was actually important to us, and what was just an unnecessary stress. She was encouraging and positive. And as the production level for our weekend grew and grew (and boy, did it grow!), Lauren took it all in stride and helped us figure out how best to bring all the pieces together. At the end of the night, as we were all piled onto a bus headed back to the hotel, Lauren hopped on and snapped a picture of the whole group. We hadn’t even noticed that our photographer was done for the evening, but Lauren had, so she jumped into action and snapped the last photo to be taken at our wedding She didn’t need to do that, we didn’t ask her to, but that’s just who Lauren is. She sees a need, and she fixes it. And we are so, so grateful! Throughout the entire process, Lauren was a source of enthusiasm and relief. We recommend her to anyone thinking about throwing a wedding, big or small. Months later, like us, you won’t be able to imagine your wedding without her.

Lauren was amazing from the very first time I spoke with her on the phone. I had a crazy idea that I could plan a wedding, take my qualifying exams for my PhD, and move across the country within 8 months, all while having to leave the country for 15 weeks for work. She laughed, said not a problem and took it all in stride: the wedding was flawless!! She eased my anxiety right away with her super organized yet easy-going attitude. She was always available for my last minute panicked text messages about seating, schedules, or wedding etiquette. Her day of schedule was fantastic, and everyone loved knowing exactly where to be and when. She was never pushy, she calmly and competently guided everyone through the day, even going so far as to do an extra practice walk down the aisle for the flower girls! She was truly wonderful, and I would highly recommend her for your wedding, it will be money well spent, and you will actually get to enjoy your day!!

Lauren Schaefer is, straight-up, good at what she does! Having her take the reigns during the week of my wedding was absolutely luxurious! She repeatedly proved to be on top of the plans, in close touch with our venue, and established a wonderful rapport with our vendors. On our wedding day, she was two steps ahead of everyone else--ready with an answer to any question or the right tools for any job. Her ability to have eyes on all facets of the event was truly extraordinary. She had every detail covered, from making sure both my best girlfriends had tissue packs on their seats during the ceremony to handily managing the thorough load-out of the venue at the end of the night. She even took the time to text me early in the day to make sure I ate something! If anything was not going well, you better believe that I had no idea about it as she expertly shielded us for any potential stress. Several members of my family and wedding party commented on how wonderful she was and I could not agree more! My wedding was a beautiful experience and, in no small part, I owe that to Lauren!

Lauren was just amazing! We do not know how we would have managed everything without her! My husband and I have both commented that of all the wedding expenses, hiring Lauren was the best money we spent for this wedding. We would highly recommend Lauren as an event coordinator!

LAURA + NATE, Nashville
I have had the distinct privilege of working with Lauren as a friend/colleague, and now I have had the honor of experiencing her work as a client. Lauren is the consummate professional. She consistently is thinking 1,000 steps ahead of you, while meeting you exactly where you are and where you need support in that moment. She breaks down all of those last minute questions and details into small and attainable "bites." She was great about checking in, taking a pulse of how we were doing, putting all our details together, and validating and affirming our concerns or wishes. All of our family, friends, and bridal party were so appreciative of the ability to show up and have fun celebrating the big day. I manage events and conferences for a living, but when it came to our wedding, I knew we needed help. Not just anyone, I knew we needed Lauren. What speaks volumes for Lauren's work is the way that she is so respected by other vendors, venues, and industry professionals. They recognize her expertise and her skill, and they love working with her. She has a truly magnetic personality and a joy to be around. I couldn't have imagined our wedding day any differently, and I am so grateful for the decision to hire [The Get Together Events Co].

This review is a bit late but I am still smiling thinking of our daughter’s beautiful, fun wedding! Lauren is amazing!! She somehow wrangled 19 vendors/friendors, a large wedding party, and bus loads of out of town guests to create my daughter and her fiance’s Best Day Ever. Throughout their rehearsal and their big day Lauren was smiling, pleasant and in control of every little detail. She was a joy to be around and made everyone feel at ease. Her planning skills and attention to every single detail is exactly what you hope for in a wedding planner. As the mother-of-the-bride I was able to relax and enjoy every moment of the weekend. The wedding party all enjoyed Lauren’s fun spirit at the rehearsal. She was able to keep everyone on time and focused and still made sure we had fun.
Lauren’s assistant, Justine, was delightful, too. She has a talent for decor. Together Lauren and Justine transformed a grand empty room into the exact vision my daughter and her fiance had wanted for their reception. It was beautiful. If you are researching planners and reading reviews to find the perfect person to work with you to make your wedding day stress free and fun, stop reading and hire [The Get Together Events Co]! I am SO thankful my daughter and her fiance did!

Lauren was the BEST wedding coordinator ever! She was highly organized, super detail oriented, and so approachable. From the first phone call I had with Lauren, I knew right away she was the person that I wanted to work with on our wedding. Even before the call, she already went to our wedding website to get to know more about us. Lauren is a "month-of" wedding coordinator; however, she was available for us even months before our wedding. We asked for a wide variety of recommendations, and she was always able to provide a list or research for us to provide the best possible answers (on the rare occasion that she was unfamiliar with the topics). I especially loved how efficient she was with responding to her emails. Her response rate was typically well under 24 hours! Lauren also did a site visit with me and made many great suggestions on the layout of the venue. We eventually went with all her ideas, and they were perfect! I had a stressful moment with our caterer's site visit; however, as soon as Lauren was on board, she swept in and handled all vendor interactions effortlessly. She was very comfortable and confident being the person in charge. My husband and I met Lauren in person in NYC about 6 weeks before the wedding to go over the logistics of the wedding weekend (just because we just happened to be visiting for other reasons). I am so glad we visited and saw her energy and passion for her work, and we were absolutely certain that she was the person who would manage our big day. At the rehearsal dinner, we all met up at the venue, and she was able to get through everything in less than 30 minutes. The day-of, she was everything I expected her to be and more. She made that evening perfect in every way. She read the guests well and knew the pace of the event, so she took the liberty to make the evening transition smoothly. I cannot express how much I enjoyed working with Lauren. She had a smile on her face 100% of the time and I never once saw her stressed. You will NOT regret working with her. She is perfect for this industry. We were so lucky to have found her. Lauren, thank you for everything you did for us!
