Working with Lauren was an awesome experience! I did the cinematography for a wedding where she was the planner/coordinator, and she made my job so much easier to say the least. Lauren was on top of every little detail throughout the entire day. She not only make sure that the bride and groom were taken care of, but she went above and beyond for me as well as other vendors too! She made sure to let us know before something was about to happen so we could prepare ahead of time, and even made sure I had a time to break and eat dinner. Lauren cares so much about the clients she works with and all the people involved with the events she is in charge of. You will be blessed to get the chance to work with her! More...

Lauren was my wedding planner, designer, coordinator and everything in between extraordinaire. I snagged her up after we met because her ability to take my random piece of ideas and create a coherent vision that was above and beyond what I had in my head. My wedding was a bit of a challenge since although we met 1.5yr prior to the big day, most of the planning was done while I was 9000miles away from VA in Guam. Not only did she handle this with grace & class but I never worried about her getting back to me (which was difficult with the 14hr time difference). I told all of my vendors that she was the main point of contact because of the huge time difference and I never once worried about my vision being compromised without much say on my part. Needless to say, if you're looking for a classy, hard working, spunky wedding planner, Lauren is for you. She not only was my planner, but became a dear friend. xo More...

We are so thankful that we had Lauren as a part of our wedding, and only wish we had asked her for more. Everything she put together was truly amazing. She considered every detail and understood us as a couple and our individual styles and tastes. Lauren took the time to get to know us and was very easy to work with. We felt so comfortable and confident in her work that we began to say "in Lauren we trust". She was committed to the success and perfect design for the day. There is no limit to her talent and capabilities and I would be the first to recommend Lauren and all of her services. More...

As Director of Events for a local venue, I meet many wedding planners and coordinators who are there to help each Bride and Groom throughout their big day. I had the privilege to work alongside Lauren with one of our couples and have to say she truly stood out. She was very professional, classy, organized and helped to make everything go smoothly. I highly recommend her to all brides searching for someone who truly knows what they are doing. Nicely done Lauren! More...

Lauren and the Max & Dexter Team was an absolute DREAM to work with. Hiring Lauren for Day of Planning and Design was the BEST decision. I could put my mind to rest and knew everything would be perfect... and it was. Thank you for making our dreams a reality and taking the stress out of the most special day of our lives! More...

Lauren was fabulous! She helped us prepare and think through all of the little and big challenges that may come up so that everything went smoothly on the big day of my wedding! She even went out to the site before the wedding when the venue told us there was a huge mud pit where we were planning on putting the tent. There is so much to be stressed about in those last few weeks before the wedding, but I knew I was in good hands once she was involved. The wedding went beautifully!! More...

Had the privilege of working with Lauren this past weekend. She was very well organized and on top of things. As a videographer, it's crucial to know when certain elements of the ceremony and reception are occurring.
I would highly recommend Lauren and her crew to anyone planning an event, and would love to work with her again. It's people like Lauren that make our jobs go a lot smoother.

I can't say enough about Lauren and all she did for my special day. From making sure everyone was in the perfect place, everyone was hydrated, and to all the actual wedding details. She is the most amazing individual inside and our and she made our day that much more special. She was filled with amazing ideas as well as always there to lend a helping hand. My best friend is actually getting married in June of 2018 and hired Lauren to do her wedding after she did such a flawless job with mine. I could not have asked for a better wedding day and I definitely have Lauren to thank for that. More...

Lauren McQuillan is the mastermind behind Max & Dexter and I don't use that term lightly! I have had the pleasure of knowing Lauren for years and apart from her many attributes as a good human, I have been fortunate enough to benefit greatly from her expertise in event planning and execution. From smaller, intimate affairs to full-blown, black tie Galas that she helps our nonprofit orchestrate every year, Lauren is my go-to for decor detail, vendor relationships, creativity on a budget, and impressive execution. Couldn't--and WOULDN'T--do it without her! More...

Working with Lauren as my Day-of wedding coordinator was a wonderful experience! Lauren was easy to work with was very helpful as my husband and I were trying to think through all the details of our wedding. She not only helped us along the way, but executed our vision flawlessly on our wedding day! She was bustling around behind the scenes and as far as I could tell, the day went off without a hitch! She kept the show rolling throughout the evening and was a LIFESAVER for bringing us drinks, water, and dessert as the evening flew by for us. She was really in our corner and watching out for us through the whole experience. I would highly recommend working with Lauren and saving yourself or a family the member the stress of day-of coordination! Believe me, you need a professional, and that professional is Lauren!

I only worked with Lauren towards the end of our engagement/right before our wedding, but she was so, so helpful! We did a lot of DIY stuff (flowers), and she rocked helping me design floral arrangements/place orders. She had great ideas on simple decor, lent me a tonnn of stuff, kept the wedding flow fun, etc. She is just the best. Planning a wedding is a stressful time, and she really helped me to feel relaxed about the process. Just love her! More...

Lauren, you are such a life saver. You took away all the wedding day stress from my family and I and we will be forever thankful for you. Our wedding was absolutely beautiful.. it was a true dream come true. You did an amazing job on our flowers and all the decorations. My girls went down to the barn before the ceremony and all they said coming back up, “wow, Cari- it’s so beautiful!” And it was. I walked in after the ceremony and you did not disappoint!! You are so great at what you do. You definitely answered your calling. You listened to what I wanted and went straight to work. Plus drinking coffee with you and teaching you proper squat form is fun too � now come design my house �� More...

From making sure that our boutineers were straight to ensuring that no desserts were eaten before dinner - Lauren had everything under control. My wife, Lacy, and I's wedding went on without a hiccup. She confidently grabbed our hands and guided us (and crazy relatives) through every step along the way to our dream wedding. She removed all my stress and worry about the event so I could focus on one thing: my wife. Additionally, she was very flexible and quick to respond to any questions that we thought of. I would strongly recommend Lauren for your next event. More...
