“Don’t even know to begin with this one. Laura was the most kind, spunky, incredible wedding planner ever. I did my due diligence of talking to multiple planners at the beginning of planning, but Laura and I just clicked. She blew me away with her attention to detail and relationship with her vendors. Every vendor told me how much they loved working with Laura and now I know why! As a normally very stressed out person, I was cool as a cucumber the day of my wedding and it’s all thanks to Laura and her team! If you want a perfect wedding, you NEED to work with Laura!!”

“Laura, or as I call her, Fairy Godmother, was my true constant during a time of such uncertainty. The pandemic threw quite a wrench in our initial vision of our wedding day, but Laura and her team truly went above and beyond to give my husband and me the wedding of our dreams. I can honestly say that our wedding day was the most beautiful and perfect day, and we will cherish every aspect and memory forever. Laura made it all happen. She was born to plan and execute events, and she pays attention to each and every detail. She listens to your hopes and dreams, and finds a way to make it happen, while being mindful of your budget! I never hesitated to reach out to her for the smallest of questions, knowing she was more than willing to be there to provide insight, guidance, and calming (and hilarious) words of expertise. Laura is an absolute professional, and has cultivated wonderful relationships with the best vendors, so I knew I was in wonderful hands. Words cannot adequately express my gratitude for Laura and her team. I am grateful to now call Laura my dear friend. I recommend her, wholeheartedly, to every bride!”

“Laura was an absolute dream to work with and by far the only reason our wedding was able to happen! She was able to orchestrate our five-day Indian wedding in Atlanta without a hitch -she knew each and every custom and tradition and had relationships with every vendor (Indian catering options, baraat rentals, traditional furniture rentals, stylists and more). I knew she had worked on Indian weddings in the past but was blown away by her experience and expertise!She was quick to adapt to my decision-making style and made each step of the process so easy to digest. She kept us on track, always offered to take projects and tasks off of my plate, and handled the entire wedding weekend flawlessly. Her experience is also invaluable –she has a huge network of resources and vendors, her team is amazing, and she knows exactly what will work and what won’t work, but will always find a way to get you what you want to
fit within your budget. Not to mention, she is the kindest soul and will find a way to make you laugh in the most stressful of times!I cannot recommend Laura enough to everyone and anyone. You will be so thankful that hired her!”

“Infinite stars. Laura and her team are the best out there. Too bad most of my wedding guests were married before me, because they all RAVED about the perfect evening, put on by the perfect planning team.
Brace yourselves for ALL the details:
BACKGROUND/SCALE: Our wedding was at The Four Seasons Hotel in midtown Atlanta (@FSAtlanta, Shannon, Chelsea…you were all amazing) for 160 people, a Terrace ceremony and Ballroom reception with a Korean Paebaek Ceremony and farewell brunch added in. I was also tasked with planning this mostly by myself, as my parents live overseas in Singapore. So I needed help.
BEFORE LAURA: I was stressed beyond belief and started planning pretty early on in my engagement (total time: 8 months, -2 months of holidays…thanksgiving, Xmas, New Years, and super bowl 2019). All of the wedding planning checklists available online had me freaked out that I was either doing too much, or not doing enough. I called around to a few wedding planners/coordinators in Atlanta, but quickly got overwhelmed with all the options and the long process.
INSERT LAURA: I mentioned my frustrations to Julie Coffin (shout out to the best florist ever @Ufebuckhead), who was surprised that I hadn’t called Laura FIRST. So I did as I was told and called Laura Burchfield for what was supposed to be a short intro conversation…which we turned into an hour long conversation about SOME wedding related stuff…but mostly chatted about everything else as if we were friends from another lifetime. She also immediately made recommendations on vendors (and her transparency was SO appreciated), and my complete dependence/reliance on her only grew from there.
MY EXPERIENCE: Throughout the planning process, we: went to lunch, went over timelines, texted after midnight (only when I needed to vent), laughed, (I) cried, (she) took selfies, and we had FUN! My now husband thanked her profusely (basically on his knees) at the wedding for her uncanny ability to bring me out of my deep depressions and funks when I thought things were falling apart…which was daily. She alone had the power to do that.
EXAMPLE: Two days before my wedding, I was in fetal position, mourning the death of my escort cards at the hands of Office Depot in Dunwoody (don’t go there). When anyone else, including my husband, tried to comfort me…plotted their demise. When LAURA told me not to worry, (that I was being crazy), and that she’d fix it, I immediately relaxed. That’s the effect she has. Because she actually is able to handle any/everything that goes wrong in no time at all. No big deal. Laura was the only one who could set me straight AND keep me sane at the same time.
WEDDING DAY: Smooth sailing. Absolutely everything was perfect. Oh, don’t get me wrong- I was definitely running behind schedule per the timeline we had painstakingly built. But at no point did Laura make us feel we were behind. When our fur children decided they weren’t going to walk adorably down the aisle like they were supposed to…she let me know in the kindest way possible that they were just going to be cutest greeters ever. This was also singularly the best decision made that entire evening. Everyone (including Laura) had suggested I sip champagne instead of shooting tequila while getting ready. But when she came up to my room and saw the almost empty bottle of Casamigos Reposado, she just laughed with me/at me and made damn sure I could still walk my ass down that aisle, and have the best night of my life. Then, we texted and laughed about it for years to come.
CONCLUSION: Do yourselves a favor. Just call Laura. Do it.
ADDITIONAL INFO: Laura now has experience planning Korean Paebaek ceremonies with the now infamous Jang (the only paebaek rental store/master of ceremonies in the southeast (@hanboknara) “

“Laura was amazing. From start to finish she helped make our wedding weekend absolutely perfect. She has fantastic ideas, and follows through on your vision. We used her for Full Service Planning for our wedding of about 175 people and it was so worth it. Planning a wedding is stressful and it was stressful even with Laura’s help. I think I would have had a mental breakdown if we hadn’t hired her. Everything we asked for she delivered on, for the whole weekend. She helped us to plan an entire weekend of events at Barnsley Resort. She anticipated when and what I would most likely drop the ball on, and always had me covered. It ended up raining on our wedding day, so we had to go with our back up plan, which was difficult for me because I had my heart set on being married under a large oak tree outside. By the time the day came, and the call had to be made, I was disappointed but I knew Laura would make the back up plan just beautiful, and she did. To top it off she is a very enjoyable person to be around and plan with, smart, creative, and sweet.”

“My wife and I hired Laura to help us coordinate and plan our wedding day. Our goal was to ensure that we would have a stress free day and Laura certainly accomplished that for us! Laura coordinated with all of our vendors in the weeks leading up to the wedding, making sure that they all arrived on time and set up on time. She also helped us build our timeline and on the day and worked to make sure that we executed on that timeline. For anyone, looking to hire a planner, we would certainly recommend Laura. She gets things done!”

“Laura helped throughout the whole process. We paid to have her help coming up with a budget plan and I was able to contact her for her professional advice – like does my invite say all that it should, what do you think of this combination, do you have any suggestions on xyz. Laura was always able to help and guide which made the whole planning process that much more enjoyable. I like to lean on experts, especially for something as big as my wedding and something I’m not super familiar with. Laura never pushed vendors on me or made decisions for me. She helped us keep an eye out for things and get clarity on day of details. She coordinated all the vendors – when they should arrive, what they need, where they’ll be etc. When it gets close to wedding day, trust me, you need someone who will hunt down all the last minute details while you worry about all the other things going on that will be brought to you — like where is so and so staying, what are you doing this minute and the next, who’s going to be where when… It was nice to sometimes be able to just point to Laura and have people talk to her. Rehearsal and day of – Laura runs a tight ship! She completely kept the whole wedding on track and moving. It all went as planned!”

“My daughter’s wedding was perfect due to Laura Burchfield’s organization and attention to detail. More importantly, she was easy to work with – open to suggestions, available for consultations, and always professional. She was hands on at the wedding, quietly working her magic in the background.”

“Laura (the business owner) and Ellen (our main coordinator) both did an excellent job. I can’t speak highly enough of the two of them and the work they did. Hiring a day-of coordinator meant that we could focus on the details we cared about and let the professionals handle the things we didn’t. They rolled with our (often strange) choices and helped us achieve the wedding we wanted. Best of all, on the day of the wedding itself I could relax because I knew they had everything under control. Laura Burchfield Events is well worth your money.”

“I cannot even begin to try and express how amazing you made our wedding. You somehow took our crazy minds and turned them into great recommendations and utter professionalism and experience working with the right people. It was the best weekend of my life and we honestly owe it all to you and our vendors. You knew how to reel me in at the rehearsal in a polite and stern way, you know how to deal with adversity in any way (i.e.poor Hollywood calling it an early night, etc). We had everything we could’ve wanted and more. Thanks again more than you can know.”

“Unfortunately, my writing and grammar isn’t nearly as good as Laura’s attention to detail regarding our wedding. After some skepticism from my bit of a control freak fiance, we took on Laura as our planner. She was an absolute game changer for us. Her organization, promptness and all other adjectives that you could think of to positively describe an event coordinator made her an absolute pleasure to work with. She really allowed us to take our focus away from making sure everything was in order and focus on each other on the big day. I have included my contact information below and am happy to speak with anyone regarding her capabilities. Highly recommended and couldn’t have done it without her.”

“Laura Burchfield was everything one would want a day-of wedding coordinator to be. She took on every concern we had so that all we had to do at the reception was enjoy ourselves. Several people who interacted with her commented on what a great job she was doing and commended us for choosing her. She is warm, calm, and efficient and was THE person on that special day, who was able to create a seamless and joyful experience for everyone.”

We would certainly recommend Laura to anyone looking for a wedding coordinator.”

“What a joy it is to work with Laura Burchfield as an event planner. Having worked with many over the years it is refreshing to find one that it so capable and knows her job yet does not try to do mine. She is patient and gracious in trying to meet every need of the Bride, Groom and their families. She is professional and a pleasure to work with. As an officiant I never have to wonder how things are going to go because I know they are going to go smoothly and then I can do my part right on time. I highly recommend Laura Burchfield events for your wedding or any other event you are planning. She is always top on my referral list.”
“I wanted to just touch base with you to let you know that I have worked with a loooooot of wedding planers in my day & you were about the best I have seen in a long time. Thanks for being so great to work with. I know it must have been great for the bride and groom but it was great for me to not to have to worry about so many of the details and focus on my part of the day.”
“As an officiant I have to work with a lot of different couples without a wedding planner. If you are going to have a big wedding you need a great planner & Laura Burchfield is a great one. I found her extremely easy to work with but she knew exactly what she was doing and she did it well. I would work with Laura at any opportunity I could.”

“AMAZING!!! Laura and her team went above and beyond to make our wedding special and go just as we planned and hoped! She was quick to respond, always available, organized and experienced! She and her team did a fantastic job of corralling everyone and making sure they were where they needed to be when they needed to be! We never had to go searching for anyone when we needed them for pictures or for an important part of ceremony and reception! The biggest thing she did for us though was put our minds at ease. We knew after one meeting with her that she would make the wedding process, even leading up to the day of, so much easier and she did in spectacular fashion!! I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for help planning, organizing or coordinating their wedding!!!”

“I can’t recommend Laura enough for Wedding Coordination. She was such a pro and I felt so much more at ease knowing she was running the wedding day. If you don’t have a day-of coordinator, IT IS THE BEST MONEY YOU WILL SPEND PLANNING YOUR WEDDING!! Seriously. Laura has such a straightforward approach and will give you her honest opinion, which I loved. There was no task too large or too small for her. She was a great resource for all of the critical decisions like helping plan my day-of timeline, helping me configure the layout of the reception, providing input on vendors, etc. but also was happy to do small things like a Starbucks run for the bridesmaids!! One thing my mom loved is that she helped pack up all of the bridal suite, favors, decorations, etc. at the end of the night. I love the way she ran our rehearsal the day before as well…many people commented that it was the easiest rehearsal they had ever done. Really can’t say enough good things!!!!”

“I researched and researched wedding planners. I probably met with 10 wedding planners and Laura was one of them. After talking the first time I knew she was the perfect planner for me. We started working together about 11 months before my New Years Eve wedding. From timelines to coordination to therapist there wasn’t anything Laura didnt do. She helped me track down my dress when my bridal store shut down, referred awesome vendors, set up appointments, helped me deal with family drama, found us a dance instructor two months before wedding when our original instructors fell through. She helped me deal with every single detail the entire journey. I didn’t have to be anxious about anything and when i did (wedding weekend) she answered every question and let me freak out to her. She turned my Pinterest wedding dreams into a reality. It was a perfect day and a huge part of that was because of Laura. She truly is the best wedding planner in the world. Five star doesn’t even begin to cover it.”

“As an event venue manager I have seen first hand the guidance and attention to detail Laura Burchfield Events provides to her clients. And let’s be honest – wedding planning is a tough job. From the first day I met with Laura, I could tell she she understood her client’s wedding day vision, and maintained that focus for the duration of planning until their special day. There is an instant connection with Laura and her clients that starts in their initial meeting and lasts through out the event. I always walk away from meetings with my clients and her feeling confident that everyone will be well taken care of. She is always my first choice as a recommendation for a planner. She has the experience, the savvy, humility, compassion and emotional intelligence to handle one of the most important events in most couples lives.”

“When it comes to planning weddings, you will quickly figure out how much of a relief it is to have a wedding planner! As a wedding photographer, I have been lucky enough to work with Laura a few times now. She is perfectly efficient, and not only listens but truly brings to life a couple’s dream wedding. Without a planner, the idea of keeping up with ALL the details, appointments, vendors, timeline, and everything else that goes into a wedding can easily make your head spin. With Laura, your day will be stress-free, stunningly whimsical, and beyond your highest expectations. You’ll be able to enjoy each and every minute of your big day knowing that Laura has it all under control. She is such a joy to work with, and you cannot go wrong with asking her to help make your dream day a reality!”
