The best gurantee of a perfect wedding day...

The best guarantee of a perfect Wedding day is hiring
Lavish Engagements. Georgia is so soothing and calm to talk to, in fact I hope I can talk to her again soon if I'm ever feeling stressed as she can instantly bring a bride/person back to a better state of well being! She can problem solve in a pinch all while making sure every detail is perfect and the bridal party/guests are happy. Donny was a wedding day hero as well and a true professional. They both always had a smile and were there to offer a drink or kindness without ever even having to ask. Every vision I had was perfectly put into place and if I had overseen something, rest assured Georgia was there to remind me or make a kind suggestion. I had a dream come true Wedding and although never plan on another Wedding in this lifetime, I can only scream to the Brides to be - DONT THINK TWICE AND HIRE LAVISH ENGAGEMENTS! I'm so happy with my decision in hiring this vendor and so impressed when my expectations were not only met but far exceeded.

Awesome Month-of Co-ordination

Olivia was very helpful on our day - she guided the rehearsal and also guided everyone on the wedding day and made sure everything went off without a hitch! I loved having Olivia there and she kept me calm so I was able to just enjoy the day!

Absoutely awesome!

Olivia was amazing to work with! Hiring her was like the best decision ever. She made it so we didnt have to worry about anything and could just show up and enjoy the day! We are not from the island and she was the perfect person to plan and organize everything for our wedding. We could not be happier with her services, her professionalism and execution of our day was amazing. She is incredible at what she does!

I would highly recommend Olivia and her team. I didn't have to worry about a thing because I knew Olivia and her team were on it. I was left to enjoy our wedding day with no phone calls or questions about the set up. She was worth every penny and I encourage every bride to do the same! Without a doubt, hiring her team was the best decision I made :) In the photo I attached you can see Olivia going above and beyond... she fluffed my dress right before walking up the aisle... something I wouldn't have done!

Month of Coordination

Hiring Georgia was probably the best decision we made during our wedding planning. Everything went off without a hitch on the day of and we were both able to enjoy a much less stressful day than if we tried to do everything ourselves. She was able to bring our vision to life and our guests made many comments about how beautiful the reception space was. If you are getting married, save the stress and hire Georgia as your month of coordinator! It is well worth it!

Covid style wedding

Georgia and Olivia were an absolute dream to work with! They helped us get creative with ways to still have our wedding in August like we had hoped and made it an absolute breeze! Georgia even did running around in the pouring rain to make sure we had our bouquets for the photos. Thank you so much Georgia and Olivia!!!

The Best Investment!

I booked a month-of coordination package with Lavish Engagements and Georgia was an absolute joy to work with! I must have called her 100 times leading up to my wedding day and she answered every call and gave me so much time to make sure everything was perfect. She took the stress away from me and my loved ones on the wedding day and provided styling tips that helped bring my vision to life!! I absolutely recommend working with Georgia from Lavish!!!

Thank you for making planning our special day a breeze!

Our wedding planning experience was easy and fun thanks to Lavish Engagements! We were concerned about stressing ourselves and our families out over the wedding planning process, so we hired Olivia and her team for complete wedding planning services. They were awesome to work with and took care of everything, including many details we would never have thought of ourselves! We were impressed with the vendors they recommended and the beautiful venue design they put together, all within our budget. If you want a stress-free wedding planning experience, hire Lavish Engagements.

Superwoman

Olivia is hands down the best! We lived in the US, and I can’t imagine doing it without her! She knows everything and everyone on VI and beyond, and handled every issue. I can’t recommend her enough!!

Olivia and her team = AMAZING

My husband and I cannot say enough good things about Olivia and her team. For those on the fence about getting a coordinator for your wedding day - JUST DO IT.

During the initial meeting, Olivia was so personable and we instantly felt comfortable with her and knew we were in good hands. Leading up to the big day, she was always willing to answer any question I threw her way (trust me, there was many). We did site visits and went over all the details so leading up the wedding day I felt confident.

On the actual wedding day, it was so amazing to just have a peaceful morning getting ready and not have to get to the venue super early to set up, deal with vendors, etc. When we did show up to the venue, it looked beautiful with all the decor Olivia and her team thoughtfully put together. The day ran smooth from making sure the bride and groom squad got down the aisle, to herding 100 guests in for dinner on time.

I would 110% recommend Lavish Engagements to help with your big day - we honestly couldn't have done it without Olivia!
