A desire to celebrate the magic of deep soul love was the inspiration behind For Love of Love. I began my wedding planning & design career in 2012 while living in New York City and have since planned events all over the United States and abroad. I draw most of my inspiration from traveling, poetry, European architecture, femininity, foreign films, and world music.

Working with For Love of Love was the highlight of our wedding planning year. Lauren and Ellie were absolutely incredible to work with from the beginning stages of finding vendors right up until the wedding day itself. Their kindness, patience, and professionalism are unparalleled, and they are logistical geniuses! They were readily available to answer questions or brainstorm whenever we needed them. When we had snags throughout the process, we never had to worry, because we knew they were on it! Further, we were particularly interested in the design portion of wedding planning, and we cannot imagine

Ellie and Lauren absolutely exceeded every expectation my husband and I had and went above and beyond to ensure our wedding day was beyond perfection. Their eye for design, detail and level of organization is unmatched. We received so many compliments that are wedding was unlike anything our guests had ever experienced. I couldn't imagine working with anyone else to ensure our wedding day was memorable and it will certainly be remembered as one of the best days of our lives! Thank you For Love of Love for pouring your heart into everything you do.

Lauren & Ellie with For Of Love was by far one of the best investments I made when planning my wedding! They bring with them such a calm and confident energy and their eye for design is amazing! They helped me navigate planning and postponing my wedding during COVID with patience and kindness and I ended up having the celebration of my dreams.

Her communication was clear and timely, Her eye for design and her ability to make a vision come to life are unmatched, and she is professional while being down-to-earth. I am a wedding photographer myself, so choosing my planner was extremely important to my husband and me. Hiring Lauren was the first thing we did, and she did not disappoint! She went above and beyond for us every single step of the way. My husband and I were over the moon with her services and her ability to roll with the punches.

Truly, the best money we spent on the wedding. We hired Lauren for design and our only regret is not hiring her for the extent of all of her services. Lauren and Ellie were DREAMS to work with. They made our wedding vision cohesive, striking, and within budget. From the beginning, Lauren clearly communicated the the step-by-step design process. With a mapped out plan, there was never any surprises and I felt totally assured our wedding was in the best hands possible. Lauren is incredibly talented. Her skill, professionalism, and attention-to-detail are unmatched. We could not recommend For Love

We can't say enough wonderful things about Lauren and her team at For Love of Love! She planned and executed our 200+ wedding in 7 months and made us feel like there was no rush or reason to stress at all! Her connections to vendors and in depth knowledge of the wedding industry was apparent from the beginning and proven when every vendor(even ones she didn't know from previous contacts) raved about her communication and execution during planning. Lauren as a person is super down to earth, detail oriented and has a style and design eye that is unmatched.
Thank you, Lauren!

Lauren and Ellie at For Love of Love were outstanding to work with! From our first call to our wedding day, I felt so taken care of and stress-free! My husband and I had a whirlwind of a planning experience during our short 7 month engagement, and Lauren and Ellie made everything SO easy. They recommended the absolute best vendors, did all the not so fun work (gathering pricing and availability, working on contracts, logistics, etc.) so my husband and I (and our families) were able to have fun in the process. I cannot stress enough how enjoyable it was to work with them. Planning a wedding in 7

For Love of Love was exactly what I needed and so much more! Lauren and her team provided an abundance of vendors to choose from (already vetted) and each provided us with superior services. They kept me on track to see that I was handling my end of things and nothing fell thru the cracks. I chose the month of and day of package and the last month before the wedding it was so nice to hand everything over to them! I was able to focus on enjoying the journey and not get stressed. They kept me up to date every step of the way and I knew we were in good hands. Truly professional at all times. When

YOU NEED LAUREN & HER TEAM AS YOUR WEDDING PLANNERS!!! We had the absolute best experience working with Lauren. Her organization and attention to detail make her so great at what she does. On top of that, she is so sweet and kind and extremely easy to work with. Even my dad (who wasn't super involved in the wedding planning process) had so many compliments for Lauren and her team. She went above and beyond in every way. We had the wedding of our dreams and I know that it couldn't have been nearly as good without her.

Your wedding planner search is over!! Lauren is everything you've been looking for and everything you didn't know you needed. Calling Lauren a wedding planner is an incomplete characterization. Lauren is a visionary, stylist, and strategist who is able to both design events and execute the logistics and tactics flawlessly.
My husband and I (and our families) worked with Lauren for about 15 months to plan our recent Richmond, VA wedding for 170 guests at an outdoor venue. The entire process was not only painless but fun. As a super type A person, I was not sure I'd find a planning

I can't say enough about the wonderful experience we had using Lauren Hill of For Love of Love for my daughter's wedding in Beaver Creek, CO!
Our event involved many vendors. Lauren was skilled at being efficient and kept all the moving parts well organized. She kept detailed spreadsheets and timelines saving us so much time and energy and allowing us to just enjoy the wedding planning process.
Lauren has impeccable taste in design. She listened carefully to my daughter and her fiancé about their vision for their day and then offered amazing design ideas to help take the wedding

We hired Lauren (For Love of Love) as our month-of coordinator for our September 2017 wedding at Big Spring Farm. As a couple from California getting married back on the East Coast, hiring Lauren to help us cross the finish line and execute our event on the big day was the best spent money for our wedding.
From our first call I knew Lauren was someone we could trust. Lauren is an experienced planner- meticulous with detail, incredibly organized (tech savvy working collaboratively with us over google docs!), clear with communication and dedicated to creating a successful event for you and your

I knew from my first conversation with Lauren that she was going to be great at her job! She has serious terrain knowledge, is highly organized, & was willing to roll with our odd questions and requests. She helped turn our homegrown wedding into a smashing success & even went shopping for me THE NIGHT BEFORE when there was a wedding wardrobe issue! She is a gem & you shouldn't hesitate to hire her for your next event!

I'm cannot imagine our wedding without For Love of Love's Lauren Hill! She made the planning process a breeze from booking hotels for our guests to communicating directly with vendors. Everything stayed perfectly organized along with contracts and timelines!
Design wise, everything from the bouquets to invitations to table and chair rentals was art directed by Lauren. She took our vision for the day and turned it into a work of art!
Obviously, the greatest benefit was having Lauren with us during our day. I added this picture because it says everything: Lauren greeting us at the venue with a
