Camela Lynn Weddings and Events

I wanted to write this review weeks ago, but every time I thought back to my wedding day, I started to cry. Not because things went wrong, but because of all the things that could have gone wrong if it weren't for Camela and her assistant, Lamar.

I've followed Cam for a long time, I'm talking cake-pop and bridal soiree days! I knew that if I were to ever get married again, I wanted her to be there. At that time, I wasn't even engaged, just casually dating, but I knew that when my time came - IF my time came, I wanted her to be there. I went as far as jumping into her DMs (lol) to let her know that should I ever say I DO again, I needed her to be a part of it. Cost, flowers, open bar, and chair covers be damned I'd fit her into the budget somehow! I knew that if she were on my team, the day would be perfect, and, spoiler alert - it was!

Once I got engaged and began the planning process, I reached out to retain Cam, and our first conversation just felt... right. It felt like I was catching up with a family member I hadn't talked to in a while. She asked about my dad, I asked her about her mom, we just spent a considerable portion of our initial conversation catching up with one another, building a rapport, and discussing my wedding wishes.

After that conversation, I knew that she truly understood me and the vision I had for my big day. Throughout the process, when I need a strong "No," on specific ideas or decisions, she gave it to me. And because of the rapport we'd built, I knew and understood that she knew best and had my best interest at heart. Cam always encouraged and reminded my husband and I to stay true to our vision, "Family and Ancestry." She understood the importance to us behind every picture, every moment and every ode to the family that could only be there in heavenly spirit.

I'm an admittedly extremely hands-on bride and feared that only "I" could see my vision entirely through. My ceremony and reception were held in two different locations, and there were things that I'd made and had envisioned to be in each of those spaces. Before retaining Cam, I feared that I'd have to commission my family members to move things from one space to the other, and possibly miss parts of the ceremony/reception. As my day-of coordinator, Cam went the extra mile to pick up items needed for both my ceremony and reception. She was able to bring my vision to life in the most elegant way possible, all while somehow still being exactly where I needed her when I needed her (sorcery, I tell ya!)

Most importantly, every family member was able to enjoy the full experience of our day with us because of her willingness to go above and beyond. Cam and Lamar facilitated with each other to make sure that my groom and I were comfortable throughout the entire day. They made sure my veil was in place, my husbands' shirt ironed, that we had food on our stomachs, that we remembered to let the dog out (lol, poor Max). They also ensured that our guests were informed, and in the right places at the right time.

I know that my wedding day would have happened regardless, but having Camela and Lamar there to facilitate and to make sure that everything was on time, ran smoothly, looked beautiful made it indeed a night to remember. If you're reading this and are undecided on if you need a planner, be it a day of, or full-on planning - consider this the sign you were looking for to say Yes To The... Coordinator!

Thank you so much, Cam, for making my dreams a reality More...

I absolutely need to take the time to share with you guys how amazing my wedding planner Camela was. My husband and I live in California but got married in Ohio. Camela helped us to find almost all our vendors through her extensive network, managed meetings, appts, and was critical to helping us stay on budget (my ideas sometimes being far too extravagant heheheh). She let me live out my dreams and worked hard with her team and our vendors to execute our vision. My wedding day was everything I could have imagined and there’s no way we would have come close to being able to execute that without her. She’s professional, well networked, and just damn good at her job. If you’re getting married and need any help, I’d recommend her 1000x over again. Day of support also included her team Lamar and Amy who helped make sure everything ran smoothly and that we didn’t have to worry about a thing or look at a clock. They had us where we needed to be the whole day and it all felt very seamless. HIRE HER NOW ! More...

Camela is a top-notch planner and we were incredibly fortunate to have been able to work with her. She is extremely personable and will make sure that the wedding day will reflect the personalities of both the bride and the groom. She respected both of our wants and needs and worked to craft an event that we were both in awe of. Thanks to Camela, our wedding day flowed smoothly with no major hiccups. I would highly recommend booking Camela for your wedding if you have the opportunity! More...

Camala, Adrienne, Lamar, and Associates provided planning/decorative services for my daughter's wedding on 9/1/19. They were all professional, friendly, and provided top notch service from concept inception to the last guest that left the reception! ! I HIGHLY recommend this team for any event that you're planning! More...

My husband and I hired Cam for month-of coordination services for our recent wedding. She went above and beyond with helping me prep and creating timelines and schedules for the big day. It really helped that I didn’t have to stress about the details during the month leading up to the wedding (who knew there were sooooo many small details ). She was like a part of the family! The day of our wedding was perfect! We spent a lot of time with Cam’s assistants during the day of the wedding (while she was behind the scenes keeping everything on track). Lamar was an absolute pleasure to work with. Both my husband and I agree that he made the day so relaxing, stepped in and problem-solved for a few issues so I wasn’t stressed, and even made sure we got to try our cocktail hour appetizers/drinks. We were so relaxed because of him! And Amy was great with keep everyone in line and helping us with pictures and outfits. We are so grateful for this team! More...
