You want a party that’s all about your people...and we’re here for it. For you, the most important part of your wedding is the experience it offers your guests—from the food they're served and the glasses they raise to the music that pulls them toward the dance floor. You want an expert to help you invest your budget in high-quality elements that make a massive impact on guest experience. You don’

t want flashy for flashy’s sake—you want pure revelry with your favorite people. Our services are rooted in making sure your event delivers exactly that. Whether you need us to oversee every last line-item from start to finish (our speciality)—or simply step in and manage logistics as the day-of approaches—we’re here to ensure your celebration is as radiant and lasting as that love of yours.

This post is dedicated to summer. What an adventure. Although it’s technically still summer, with my kids headed back to school next week 🎉 it’s beginning to feel like Fall.

We’re heading up for our Fall weddings and already working on designs for our Spring 2025 weddings.

Cheers to summer 🥂

One time for the birthday girl. ME!Today is my birthday! My plans include Netflix, and waiting for a pair of shoes from Sean to be delivered. And yes, I sent him the link and suggested he purchase them. In the most subtle way possible, of course. 😂

It’s Friday and since y’all usually like introductions, I figured my bday was a good day to say hey.

I’m Lauren. Lead planner and owner of Lauren O & Co. I love a good party, a well designed tablescape and logistics. I’ve been planning weddings for 13 years. I’m married to the best man on the planet, Sean. And I’m helping him raise his kids, Evan & Maia. 😂 I’m case you can’t tell I’m also a part-time comedian and available for hire.

Cheers to the weekend!

My very first job was as a window fashions specialist at Sears. I’m still not sure why they thought a 16yr old would know anything about window fashions. 😂. But I was young and eager to learn.

While I did learn a ton about fabrics, measurements and design, the thing that was emphasized and stuck with me the most was - be of service.

I’m dating myself but if you ever had the pleasure of shopping at Sears, you know their service was top notch. We were trained to listen, to be thoughtful and to anticipate a customer’s need so that we could meet it.

In this business, service is what sets Lauren O & Co. apart. We book a limited number of full service clients each year (15 to be exact) so that we can be hands on and provide each of our clients the level of care and service they deserve. If that means designing your wedding website or handling your RSVPs is a pain point for you - we are happy to take it on.

We don’t believe that you should sacrifice your quality of life to plan your wedding. Instead, we want to be of service to you and help make this process as painless as possible.

Also, if you’re buying a house and buying curtains - I can help with too. 😂😉

Happy Friday! I haven’t done this in a while and we have a few new followers, so here I am!

My name is Lauren O’Brien and I’m your planner if:

You love intentional details
and elevated design. I’m talking about the details that scream who you are as a couple. Those details that your guest walk in and see and say, “Okay. This makes sense for them!”

You value clear, concise communication. Listen, I love a good keke (see the second slide) and we will share plenty of laughs. But when it’s time to discuss your wedding, let’s get down to business. I promise to always be your advocate and deliver the truth with compassion minus all the fluff.

You like to think outside of the box. Tented wedding under the stars, yes please! A full wedding weekend of events, we’re you team!

If you’re interested in working with us, let’s chat! 2024 is flying by and we’d love to work with you!

I love to entertain. That should come as no shock since I’m a wedding planner. 😉

When I’m planning events I’m not just thinking about how it looks but the overall guest experience.

That’s what sets your wedding apart - a memorable guest experience. As we’re working on design I listen to everything you tell me and I’m thinking of ways to elevate the overall experience.

Remembering your family is originally from Nigeria, so finding ways to incorporate traditional foods into your menu. Listening to you when you say your Mom is struggling with her mobility so considering how far she will need to walk from the parking lot. Remembering that Dad loves coffee after dinner, so making sure we bring him a fresh cup as the last course is wrapping up. Or remembering that your family hails from Louisiana so naturally we need to have a seafood boil at your welcome party!

As you’re thinking of your wedding day, remember that the experience goes beyond design. People appreciate the small things.

Believe it or not, I’m not a Valentine’s Day girl. I love all the pink and the sweet treats but I buy myself (and send my husband links so he can buy me) gifts all year. 😂

But as a wedding planner, I can’t say I don’t get giddy seeing all those gorgeous rings grace my page. Tag us in them! Maybe I’ll get a surprise gift from IDK, maybe Gucci ( hint, Sean - check your texts for links). 😂

Have a great weekend y’all!

M&D made sure their December wedding had personal touches throughout. From custom pocket squares to the chicest clutch purses - we love every single detail. When you’re planning your wedding don’t skimp on the details. Oh, and make sure you order florals for the flat lay. Your invitation designer, photographer and planner will thank you!

Looking at the photos you’d never know we planned this celebration in under six weeks. How? Vendor connections, a proven planning process, a heavy focus on logistics and experience.

I’ll say it again, wedding planning is about so much more than a pretty table. Here we focus on logistics just as heavily because logistics impact guest experience and we want to be sure the event wasn’t just beautiful but a joy to experience in the moment.

ICYMI I shared in my stories our new logo. Swipe to see it.

Our overall brand was in desperate need of a refresh. The company has evolved so much since 2017 and it was time our branding got an update to reflect that. I’ve been working with to refresh all of our brand elements, including our website. I can’t wait to share it!

As our 2023 season comes to a close I’m reflecting and feeling extremely grateful for my team, Ronda and Sydney. While most of our clients get to know me throughout the planning process, no wedding day would function without them.

They’re the ones fluffing and ironing the linen. Measuring the distance between the charger plate and the edge of the table. Problem solving the many day of challenges that come up and making sure I have my mandatory wedding day ginger ale.

They know the so well that I don’t even need to tell them what’s next on the timeline. Although the business is named after me, we’re a team. So cheers to them! Now, let’s rock 2024!

We love a soft, romantic wedding design. Especially when we get to work with our favorite color purple.

Today is our last wedding of the season. I’m so grateful for my 2023 couples, for all of our couples really.

M&D congratulations! Thank you for trusting us. Now, let’s get you married!

Engagement season is underway. We’ve loved seeing all the gorgeous rings grace our feed.

Now that you’re engaged the unsolicited advice will no doubt be headed your way. This is your reminder to do what YOU want! I know that sounds controversial but the reality is your wedding day should be a reflection of you as a couple. Not the wedding your cousin had five years ago or the wedding your sister has been dreaming of for you.

Take a moment to enjoy your bling and then decide on the wedding you want.
