Lori and crew were absolutely amazing throughout the entire process! Personal, professional, detail-oriented - they did not miss a single beat and bri...ng more to the table than we could have imagined. Not only are they exceptional planners/coordinators leading up to your big day, they also put in the extra effort to make sure the bride and groom are comfortable and care-free the entire time. We cannot thank them enough for all of their help and highly recommend them for any of your wedding planning needs

THE BEST DECISION I MADE for my wedding was hiring Annie one year out for the planning and coordination of my wedding.

I cannot recommend her enou...gh as she made my wedding planning enjoyable and fun as well as reducing the amount of stress surrounding all of the details and deadlines. She kept everything organized and clear as well as updated vendors and kept them on the same page as well.

I had a lot on my plate due to finishing up my graduate degree, working, and taking CPA exams all leading up to the wedding. I told Annie my game plan to be basically done with all major things by 6 months out and she kept me on a schedule while also providing me with vendors who she had either worked with or knew of that were good. She made it so much easier to process through all of the details as well as taking any and all issues off of my plate.

She told us that when you hire the right wedding planner - you won't think anything may have went wrong on your wedding day. SHE WAS RIGHT. I was glowing telling everyone how perfect everything went and to this day I couldn't tell you if anything happened that was not expected because Annie dealt with it all.

On top of that, she helped me find INCREDIBLE vendors. I could not have asked for any better vendors and I definitely would not have been able to do that much research to find them on my own. Everyone showed yup and absolutely killed it at the full coordination of Annie's game plan timeline that changed and pivoted up to the day of, but was shared with all vendors.

There are not enough stars or complementary words to adequately express how invaluable and helpful Annie, Lori and their entire team are! They truly t...ake your vision and make your wedding a dream come true! Their competence, expertise and helpfulness is unmatched!

On the day of the wedding, they are by your side to assist in every way imaginable!!! I cannot express what a joy it was to work with their team and a comfort to have their help in making sure the day went smoothly without any worry for the bride, groom or parents. I HIGHLY recommend Lori Anne and guarantee without a doubt they will
go above and beyond your expectations, making your dream a beautiful reality. You will walk away feeling so grateful and elated with the outcome thanks to Lori Anne!

We were planning our own wedding and my husband and I decided at 10 weeks out from the wedding to hire a day-of coordinator. We were so excited to hir...e Annie! She stepped right in and was a life saver!! She thought of everything, including lots of things I missed. She assisted me with reaching out to vendors and setting up amazing timeline for everyone to follow. She delivered our meals to our suite and even steamed our dresses. Everything about our wedding was absolutely PERFECT and we couldn’t have made it possible without Annie! Annie is truly a God send and I would recommend her and Lori to everyone I know getting married!

Admittedly, my partner and I were on the fence about hiring a Day Of Coordinator. Tons of sites will tell you it's an unnecessary expense, but I canno...t imagine our "Big Day" without the help of Annie & Lori. Given that we had a longer than normal engagement, I wasn't expecting to hear much from Annie until our wedding day drew closer. Surprisingly, she checked in a few times, assuring me she was always there even if it was just to vent. Around the 8 week mark, we met up to get serious about planning and after we left that meeting, I felt like the weight of the world had been lifted off my shoulders! I had lots of questions and a few concerns regarding Covid and other miscellaneous stuff. Annie listened intently to everything we had to say and worked diligently to make everything come together smoothly. From the rehearsal dinner to the morning of the wedding to the actual event, Annie & Lori paid incredible attention to detail and set up things just like we discussed-- no detail was left untouched! On top of being there all day, setting up, offering assistance anywhere and everywhere they can, they also tear down all of your decor and organize who to send important stuff home with like your gifts, marriage license, and flowers. We're very family oriented and wanted to honor our family as much as we could. Annie took this seriously and made sure we not only achieved this, but made it a point to meet every person in our wedding party and immediate family. We're absolutely blown away by their professionalism, expertise, and kindness and cannot recommend them enough!

After working with a different Indianapolis-based planner and parting ways, working with Annie and Lori was an absolute breath of fresh air. Annie was... INCREDIBLE in the time coming up to our wedding. She went above and beyond in every single interaction we had with her. She was professional, extremely responsive, and extremely knowledgable. She helped us with what WE wanted and what was important to us, instead of trying to push traditional ideas of what a wedding "should" look like. Annie was a lifesaver when we were trying to deal with the COVID-related challenges of rescheduling a wedding, including with assisting with things that were far outside the scope of what we had hired for.

A quick example of the type of people Annie and Lori are: Annie was supposed to be 8 months pregnant at our wedding. She told me this straight away, and had Lori save the date in case she were to go into labor early. As she got closer to her due date, she had Lori sit in all the vendor meetings and calls so that she would know what was going on with the wedding. As a type-A bride, this made me feel very secure and ready to go. Annie ended up going into labor the day before our wedding, and Lori sprang into action. She was just as wonderful as Annie. Lori not
only knew everything about our day, she was an absolute lifesaver when my reception dress broke while I was putting it on the night of my wedding. In one of my not-so-fine moments, she made me feel so comfortable and it was like I had known her for years. Her figure-it-out attitude and organization made the day so much less stressful for me, but also for my parents and in-laws.

TLDR: I can say, without hesitation, that hiring Lori Anne was the best vendor decision we made. They are knowledgable, professional, poised, and honestly both just super cool people. Any bride would be lucky to have them on her wedding day.

Look no further for the best wedding coordinator in Indy! Annie is just awesome. Calm, professional, available, flexible and wise. From the very begin...ning, she was so easy to work with and helpful. She put such a positive spin on everything and kept me motivated through the planning process. If I had to do it again, the only thing I'd change is going with a fuller service package. Annie's services were definitely worth it and, if I'd had the budget, I would have loved to give her more control. However, she worked with me on a custom package to fit my budget so I really can't complain about anything! I absolutely loved working with Annie and my family all loved her too. I got married in early December and, at Christmas, the family was all still raving about how well Annie ran everything and made our wedding so smooth. I highly recommend Annie at Lori Anne Events. I hope to be able to utilize their services again in the future (parties, etc.)

The best decision I made during the wedding planning process was hiring Lori Anne Wedding & Events. From the first time Annie called me, I knew fr...om the calmness in her voice, we were going to put all the pieces of the puzzle together perfectly. I am a very hands-on control freak and Annie helped me feel comfortable and relaxed. When major stressors would arise, Annie was always one call away to help put the fire out. She took out the stress of the last-minute details with the vendors, put together the perfect timeline and placed our decor to make it even more beautiful than I could have imagined. If I needed something on wedding day, she was right there to help me out.

More importantly, my mom's stress was at a minimum - which is the best wedding gift I could have ever received! My entire wedding party loved her, my husband was grateful for Annie because I was actually able to let loose and enjoy the day.

I'm incredibly thankful that I found Annie and Lori and if you're even considering hiring someone to make your life easier, look no further!! You have the best in the business right here!

There are simply not enough words to describe how amazing both Anne and Lori are. We worked with Anne for 2 years, and fell in love with her day one. ...She is the most genuine, kind, and caring person. Anne and Lori make a great team and took care of EVERYTHING the day of our wedding to make sure we were stress free. The best decision we made for our wedding day was hiring Anne and Lori. We miss them both already!

Annie and Lori to the rescue! We will be forever grateful for everything they did to make our dream wedding come true! We found ourselves in a situati...on where we needed a wedding coordinator 10 days before our wedding day. From the first phone call with Annie, she instantly relieved my anxiety and stress. She was constantly in contact with us and made us feel like we were her top priority even though we knew she had other clients she was working with. Lori and Annie gave us the opportunity to enjoy every single moment of our day. They are worth EVERY penny!! I would HIGHLY recommend these fabulous ladies to anyone in need of wedding coordinators!

Annie and Lori were so helpful in so many ways. Lori not only made herself available, but seemed to know exactly where to be when we needed anything

We helped our daughter plan her Indianapolis wedding from out of town (for us). Annie was invaluable in working directly with our vendors prior to the... date to make sure everything was ready to go. On the day of the wedding, she was EVERYWHERE, starting early in the morning corralling the 18-person wedding party through hair, makeup, and photos, to an ontime arrival at the church (no small feat). She quietly handled a last minute dress snafu, made sure the wedding party ate and stayed hydrated on the 91 degree day, and even found time to load the coolers on the trolley when she realized my husband was already in his tux. As she was doing all this, her team connected with every vendor to ensure they were prepared for the day and even picked up the cake offsite. Annie was there throughout the ceremony and reception making sure every last detail was taken care of-she magically fixed any issue that arose such that in our eyes, and most importantly our daughter's, the day was perfect! Annie's calm, caring, professional, and positive can-do attitude allowed us all to enjoy the Big Day! We are huge fans of Annie and her team and could not have had the wedding we had without her. (Please ask Annie for our contact information if you want further details).

I cannot rave about Lori and Annie enough. After COVID disrupted our original plans to get married in April 2020, we decided on April 1, 2021 to get m...arried in mid-May after realizing that our immediate family and bridal party would all be vaccinated by then. Planning a wedding in six weeks could have been a totally overwhelming experience - but with Lori it was an absolute breeze. I had so many people tell me how calm I was the whole time, especially on wedding weekend, and Lori gets a huge amount of credit for that. She and Annie handled every detail behind the scenes, coordinating with our vendors on logistics (including a timeline that my mom loved so much she printed out and had in her purse day of!) and making our vision come to life. The cost was very reasonable, especially given the amount of time and effort they put in to our special day. Lori and Annie are the sweetest people and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Book them ASAP - I promise you will be thrilled you did.

Annie and her team were a HUGE help on our day. I am so glad we hired them because there are SO MANY little details that would have driven me crazy. T...hey were very affordable, fun and sweet! I cannot put into words all of the things Annie did for us.

She came in and took over communication to all vendors - which was a huge weight lifted so we could enjoy the process a little. She went to bat for us on a couple different things at our venue. She is so organized and detail oriented. They had a day of timeline that helped everyone involved know exactly when things were happening. PJ and I did not have to worry about the timeline once on the day of because we were just guided to whatever was next. It was the best day ever.

Annie kept us on time throughout the entire day and made sure everything went so smoothly.

We have made a new lifelong friend in Annie! She is just a caring and understanding person - exactly what we needed during COVID. She let me know multiple times I could call just to talk or vent. She truly cares about her clients and works overtime for them.
