Where do I start.. like many others before us, we tried to plan a destination wedding by ourselves and then Lauren came to the rescue. The first ever discussion I had with Lauren I told her that I bounce off relationships and am quite private therefore would like to build a relationship with the person who will be part of the most personal aspects of our wedding day.

Was I lucky to stumble across Lauren! I think I speak for both Matt and I when I say it’s the best decision I ever made. Whenever there was a hiccup in the road Lauren would say it’s okay, it’s better this way any way, always offering a solution to a problem that wasn’t hers in the first place. She approached the wedding so professionally yet created that feeling like I was talking to an old friend!

Sitting on the other side of the world, different time zones, busy work lives etc, she made us feel so comfortable that we were happy for her to make decisions for us! We literally landed in South Africa a week before the wedding with very high levels of anxiety until we finally had the pleasure of meeting Lauren face to face and not just over skype.

I count myself lucky that I found her by just doing a simple google search when I was desperate for relief. I love that it is 3 months later and I still have contact with her.
