Lauren with Direct My Day Charleston was absolutely amazing. Lauren and her assistant made the wedding ceremony and reception run so smoothly. Both of these individuals were very punctual, organized, and helpful in keeping the night on track with everything planned. The wedding decorations that were setup by them were beautiful. Lauren met with us multiple times before the day of the wedding to help plan and was always available via phone or email. A definite recommend and I am so happy that we chose Lauren with Direct My Day Charleston to help us make our day so special. More...

There are not enough words to explain how wonderful DMD Charleston is. I knew immediately after speaking to Lauren over the phone that I was going to hire her as my day of coordinator. We were a destination wedding & all of our family cannot stop talking about how perfect everything was. She was on top of everything from filling our drinks all night, taking pictures, to even holding my nephew when she knew my sister in law needed someone to grab him for a moment. There was never a time when I called or text her through out the planning process that she didn’t return my phone call or message within moments. She kept the bridal party in check, made sure everything ran smooth, put me at ease & offered exceptional customer service the whole time. It also helped that her personality rocks & she was so easy to talk to and get along with. Everything you could possibly want in an event coordinator- she had it. Thank you for everything Direct My Day! More...

Lauren is the best planner out there! I’m a local wedding photographer and I personally refer all of my clients to her because she is that amazing! When my wedding day comes Lauren will be there to help me walk down the isle. I really can’t say enough good things about Lauren but when I first worked with her last year she made my experience as a photographer so smooth and the whole day was perfect for the couple! You will instantly want to become friends with Lauren because she just has that personality. Beyond that she will bend over backwards to make your big day a huge success. I have worked with many planners in the industry and her communication is by far the best out there. She creates timelines that make the day flow so perfectly and her wedding decor creations have been raved about at all weddings. She is more then a planner and you will 100% be glad you chose her to help make your wedding day come to life! More...

It was wonderful working with Lee on our wedding day! Our rehearsal and ceremony ran smoothly, and when we had a small hiccup (the rings got left at the hotel -- funny story! ) she quickly found a solution and kept our timeline perfectly. Lee is responsive, friendly, and ran a tight ship (in the best way!) If you're looking for a great day of coordinator, work with Lee!! More...

Lauren was our day of coordinator for our wedding and her and her assistant were amazing from start to finish! They made sure everything ran smoothly and everyone was where they needed to be. She knew when we needed something before we had to even ask! Also my crystal belt broke apart during the reception and she fixed it for me quickly.

Direct My Day was everything I needed and more! They helped us find everything we needed for our wedding day and beyond! Aly was our day of planner and she was just perfect! I actually miss her now that the wedding is over! I didn't have a care in the world and it felt like I had a friend there to help me rather than a stranger that had been assigned to me. I wouldn't have changed one thing about our wedding day and I have Direct My Day to thank for that! Tons of people have been reaching out to say how wonderful the planner was and how perfectly she was able to make my vision for a boho backyard dream come true! I could not be more grateful! More...

As someone who executes banquets and events for a living, I was throughly impressed my Direct My Day. Lauren was on top it from day one! We had originally booked with a different planner, but we were not feeling like we were a priority with them. So we decided to look elsewhere and were lucky to stumble across DMD. Any silly question we had she was there to give advice and support through every step of the way. We had originally just booked them for our planning process but then decided to go with them for our bar as well! Direct My Bar made it easy to get exactly what we wanted for our beverages and got quotes back to us faster than anyone else we talked to. Lastly, they even helped us run our transportation fro our guests from Folly Beach to Mount Pleasant!! We highly recommend Lauren Tracy and the Direct My Day team for any of your event or planning needs. More...

I was the mother of the groom so I did not have as much interaction as others. I just wanted to say that my son used Direct My Day for day of coordination. The whole day ran smoothly and I always was updated on things coming up. I think that was a huge relief off their backs not to have to set up anything. At the end of the night my car was packed up and we didn't have to wait at all. They made the night where we all got to enjoy the day! More...

I hired Lauren for my “day of coordinator” and honestly can not say enough great things about her in 30 words! She helped with anything I asked of her leading up to my big day. She was full of suggestions and advice throughout my planning process. My rehearsal went off without a hitch. She was JUST what we needed! As for my wedding day, she worked her butt off! She was there setting up and pointing people in the right direction while simultaneously popping in to check on me periodically. She did more than I could’ve ask of her and honestly I’m not sure how it’s humanly possible for someone to be as quick and efficient at their job. She’s amazing! My husband, family, and guests couldn’t stop raving about how impressed they all were with her. Hire her and you will not be disappointed! More...

I hired Lauren to be my day of coordinator for my March 31st, 2019 wedding at the Charleston Yacht club in downtown Charleston, SC. I couldn’t have made a better choice.
I consider myself to be a pretty picky and particular person and my fiancé and I spent a lot of time planning and detailing every aspect of our wedding. Because of that, I was a little apprehensive about leaving all of my blood, sweat and tears from months of planning in the hands of a complete stranger and hoping that my vision and plan would be manifested, but that’s exactly what happened.
I’m a bit of a control freak and wanted to make sure all the centerpieces, décor, signs, and details would all be placed exactly as I envisioned, but since I had to start hair and makeup early in the morning in time for our First Look, I had no control. I left EVERYTHING in the hands of Lauren and she did a spectacular job.
She set up EVERYTHING! All the signs, ceremony and reception décor, centerpieces, place settings, gift table etc. were placed perfectly. She made everything look beautiful and better than I had imagined.
Even when things went wrong (and something will guaranteed not go as expected), she was there to help. My flower crown from the florist was not the right size and the bouquets were not as I had wanted. Lauren called the florist to come back and get everything fixed. We had an outdoor wedding and the rain held off until about the middle of the ceremony. When the guests scrambled for shelter, Lauren rushed up to hold the umbrella over our officiant so he could see to finish our ceremony and vows.
She was great at keeping our timeline and telling us when it was time for our first dance, and cake cutting etc. She checked on us to see if we needed anything and packed everything back up so when it was time to leave, we were all ready to go.
I can’t say enough kind words about Lauren. I was considering cutting costs and trying to have family help set up and do things myself, but I highly recommend spending the extra money for at least the day of coordinating. It’s totally worth every penny for the peace of mind. I would choose Direct My Day again in a heartbeat. You won’t be disappointed.
Thank you for making my wedding beautiful, Lauren!

Lauren and Direct My Day is simply amazing! She is the greatest resource for planning weddings, the most organized day of planner and such a caring person. She helped answer any question I had about planning leading up to our wedding. Seriously, she would take the time to look up anything I was having trouble finding or connecting me with people for the wedding.

I cannot even put into words how incredibly impressed I am with Lauren and Direct My Day. Lauren and her team went above and beyond to make our wedding so perfect.

How often do your guests rave about a wedding planner Lauren was there any time we had a question or concern, months before the wedding. She constantly put me at ease with my constant anxieties and I knew I could trust her. She handled the set up and breakdown like a complete boss...and even stepped in and took care of some linens that our rental company failed to pick up!! She ensured that my husband and I had a drink in our hand at ALL times and even snuck leftover food and wedding cake into our getaway car so that we had it at the end of the night!! Lauren constantly checked in on us and made sure we had everything we needed. She is truly a GodSend and I couldn't imagine our wedding day without her being there.

Lauren is so wonderful! We were on the fence about hiring a coordinator for our wedding and I am so glad we did but even more happier we had Lauren!
We chose the day of coordination package, so we had one meeting before the wedding and unlimited communication beforehand. I think this worked perfectly for us!
She definitely knows what she is doing and is not afraid to get onto vendors for you! She set up so much by herself I am truly amazed. Lauren made sure my husband and I ate and always had a drink in hand the whole night!
Our wedding was more than we could have ever imagined and I know Lauren is the reason for that! Nothing went wrong during the entire day and she is so sweet and made us feel so important.
Another huge plus--my parents were starting to gather things to pack up the car at the end of the night and Lauren had already done it!! Cannot ask for anything better (especially for the price). Choose Lauren with Direct My Day for your wedding day!!

We got engaged in June and because we chose an October wedding, we only had 3.5 months to plan a wedding. Luckily, I had the entire wedding planned just short of 5 weeks and thanks to direct my day, Lauren made it all fall into the perfect fairy tale wedding day. She claims she is a “day of coordinator” but she’s actually so much more than that. She was willing to meet, text, email, and provide extra services ANY time we needed her. She even met me at the bridal salon to learn how to bustle my wedding dress due to family being out of state. On top of that, she also helped my husband to get my new monogram made on several gifts for our honeymoon trip which I felt was not only adorable but the cutest gift ever. The day of our wedding, we also forgot our champagne glasses at our house, leave it to lauren- she took my keys, not knowing where she was even going and those glasses were on that table ready for us in no time. If I’m being honest, her prices are extremely low for ALL that comes along with direct my day when you book them.
