Hi there, I’m Lauren! Thank you for stopping by!

I was born and raised in Kansas City and never left! To be honest, I wasn’t the girl who had dreamed about her wedding since she was little. Fast-forward to having the privilege of marrying my best friend and seeing my friends do the same, and I’ve fallen in love with seeing people celebrate one of their best days ever.

I come from a small family who taught me the importance of hard work and dedication from an early age. My professional experience includes time in senior management, business development, and finance. My passion and drive has always centered around relationships with my clients and making a difference in people’s lives. I was a Pretty + Planned bride myself and after seeing the impact on our wedding and the friendship we created with a “wedding vendor”, I fell in love with weddings and the entire process even more!

I love being a part of Pretty + Planned and truly believe that my experience solving problems, working in fast-paced environments, and working with a variety of people helps me assist in the entire planning process and then running a smooth wedding weekend from start to finish. There’s nothing like hearing the positive impact that you’ve had on someone’s day and the fact that you allowed everyone to truly enjoy the experience without concerns. This is the best (and biggest) party you’ll ever throw, and I would love to hear how I may be able to help!
