If I had to have my wedding every weekend for the rest of my life, I would have Nicole Wunderlich as my planner every single time. She did a phenomenal job as our Day-Of-Plus Coordinator, and went above-and-beyond her role in making sure we had the most beautiful night of our lives. She even popped into our Friday night welcome party to get all the key players on the same page and run through the timeline again. Nicole poured so much time and effort into our wedding, thinking of concepts and ideas I would've never thought of. She also has amazing taste - I consider myself a person with great taste and had a specific vision for my wedding - and I felt completely comfortable letting her take the reigns with our vendors knowing everything would be set up perfectly. When rain was forecasted later in the evening, Nicole was agile in noting issues with the venue's rain plan setup and worked with them to make sure we had a cohesive flow throughout the venue with our new floor plan. Nicole also has a very calming presence, which was a great match for me as I tend to get anxious. Don't mistake her calm demeanor for passivity though, this girl has work ethic and brains to burn! I have no doubt she will go far in the event planning industry, she has style, likability, work ethic, and agility. I will genuinely miss talking to her on a regular basis. I would 1000% work with the LOLA team and Nicole again - who knows, maybe my parents will need a milestone anniversary party in a few years!
Working with Sanja from Lola Event Productions was one of the greatest blessings of our entire wedding journey. From the very beginning, Sanja understood our vision in a way that felt almost instinctive. She immediately grasped what mattered most to us and helped bring it all to life with such elegance, precision, and care. What could have been a stressful process turned into something beautiful, organized, and even fun, thanks to her calm energy and her remarkable ability to anticipate every need before we even voiced it. Sanja’s attention to detail is unmatched. She guided us through every decision with patience and intention, making sure that each element felt true to us. On the wedding day, she orchestrated everything so seamlessly that we were able to be fully present and enjoy every single moment. Every guest noticed how flawless everything felt, and that is entirely thanks to her. What makes Sanja truly exceptional is her heart. She genuinely cares about her couples and puts so much of herself into what she does. We always felt supported, understood, and cared for. She was not just our planner; she became a part of our story and now is a forever friend. We refuse to let the end of our wedding day be the end of our relationship. Sanja, thank you for giving us the gift of a day that felt effortless, meaningful, and perfectly us. You made our dream wedding come to life in ways we never could have imagined. For anyone looking for someone who will plan with artistry, precision, and heart, Lola Event Productions is simply incomparable.
It's hard to know where to start with this review. Over the past year, Kristy Diana has been an integral part of our life as she helped us plan the most important day of our lives together. She introduced us to extraordinary vendors, negotiated on our behalf, and ultimately helped us execute the wedding of our dreams. She was thoughtful, communicative, organized, and just all around amazing. Then the day finally came and we saw her expertise on full display. The day ran flawlessly. Every detail, including those we hadn't considered, was perfectly executed. My wife forgot to pack a toothbrush. She texted Kristy and about 30 seconds later there she was, toothbrush in hand. Kristy coordinated getting our personal items from the hotel to the venue and back at the end of the night. She even saved two pieces of our wedding cake and put them in the hotel mini-fridge, noting that she knew we were too busy to enjoy it at the reception. We enjoyed those pieces of cake the following evening after returning home which allowed us to extend our special day even longer. She kept the events of the day on schedule and curated a flow that felt well-paced and natural. I'm biased, but this honestly is the best party I've ever attended from an execution stand-point. LOLA is pricey but you get what you pay for - a wealth of expertise, premium access to the best vendors, and a perfectly executed special day. If you're on the fence about reaching out, stop thinking and send in your request. I promise you won't regret it.

From our first meeting with Lori, we knew we would be in good hands. We worked with Lori for almost a year and a half, planning our Illinois wedding from Minnesota. Any challenges presented by planning out of state were met with Lori’s willingness to meet virtually and crank out work in person over periodic trips to Chicago. Right away, she made it easy on us by narrowing the overwhelming field of options into catered selections she knew would match what we wanted. Lori was able to help us develop our vision and perfectly translate it into reality with all of the fantastic vendors in her arsenal. Absolutely every detail of our rehearsal, rehearsal dinner, night before reception, and wedding day was considered and executed to perfection. Lori is definitely the person you want in your corner on your wedding day! Her ability to direct, manage, and anticipate any outcome made for a stress-free wedding day, knowing we could rely on her for anything. If there were any issues the day of, we never knew because everything was handled with care before it reached us. The peace of mind Lori provided is truly invaluable, and we couldn’t recommend Lori and Lola more!
