Loretta is just the absolute BEST at what she does with bringing your vision to fruition! She recently planned and executed my bridal shower and it was truly beyond my wildest dreams. Everything was perfect and beautiful! So many guests gushed about how it was the nicest/prettiest shower they have ever been to (and I'd have to agree :D). I gave her a few ideas told her what I was looking for and she completely exceeded my expectations. Can't wait to use her again for my next event!!

Loretta was amazing helping us plan and coordinate our beautiful wedding celebration. We were, admittedly, pretty particular in terms of what we wanted. There were lots of special requests and details we thought were important in making our wedding extra special. Loretta was excellent at communicating with us throughout the planning phase and seamlessly implementing everything we were looking for on the actual day. It was an absolutely perfect wedding!

Whenever we talk about how much fun we had on our wedding day, we always mention that we couldn’t have possibly had such a great experience without all the fabulous work Loretta did. We would certainly recommend hiring Loretta for your wedding. She is fantastic! You'd be in great hands.

1000% worth it!!

After choosing a wedding venue that provided their own event coordinator, we didn’t think we needed a planner. Yet, as soon as we met Loretta, we saw just how much she would bring to the table. The first thing we loved was that she was incredibly honest and decisive. Loretta steered us (an otherwise indecisive couple) into decisions we were comfortable with, and ones we never had to question. On top of that, Loretta’s eye was impeccable, and she helped create the perfect ambiance for our evening. In the final weeks leading up to our wedding, she perfected a timeline for our venue and made sure our vendors were in the loop and included. She reminded us of big-ticket items and kept everything polished and organized. Most importantly, on the day of, she allowed us to fully enjoy and not worry about the details. She was a calming force throughout our entire experience. We can’t even begin to imagine how different our wedding day would have been if we didn’t have Loretta. Thank you!!

It would be impossible for me to write down all the wonderful and great things Loretta did for us before and during our wedding celebration! There are way too many!! From the beginning, Loretta understood what we were looking for and she navigated everything to make sure it happened just the way we wanted. Loretta linked us to the best service providers, followed up to make sure everything was seamless and timely, and for the event itself she was totally on top of everything! I can not imagine the celebration having been so much fun and so beautiful, had it not been for Loretta! We are eternally grateful.

Loretta helped me with my son’s Bar Mitzvah and we could not be happier with our experience working with her. From start to finish, both planning and execution were perfect. Loretta was easy to communicate with and was an invaluable liaison among vendors. She went above and beyond. Loretta was responsive, creative, and knowledgeable. The night of the event could not have gone more smoothly and she was present and proactive throughout. In addition to managing our large event, she also checked in with us frequently to be sure that we were satisfied with how things were going. I would highly recommend working with Loretta Lester on your next event!

Our events would not have have been the same without Loretta. Our son's bar mitzvah was just amazing. Her attention to logistics and execution was phenomenal. She was always one step ahead and never missed a beat.
Her creativity and attention to detail were superb. She came up with such great ideas for our parties. In addition, Loretta was such a pleasure to work with. She was incredibly responsive, always available to answer our questions. She's a real partner throughout the process and collaborated well with us. Would work with her again in a heartbeat!

Loretta was exactly what I needed for my daughter's Sweet 16 party; she gave great suggestions and was clear and communicative but also listened to what the birthday girl wanted and was flexible. I would highly recommend her!

Loretta and her team are amazing! She handled all of our event logistics with creativity and confidence, she was hyper-organized and tough when she needed to be (for wrangling vendors!). Her team had every detail handled so I was able to fully enjoy our event. I was SO grateful to have her and our event was a hit with our guests because of her!
