“It was a breath of relief when she showed up. Vicki’s like a mom, she took control of everything. I didn’t have to worry about anything.”

Lulu Events coordinated the wedding of a lifetime for newlyweds Joshua and Brittany Cravey. Their beautiful spring celebration was complete with great entertainment, delicious food, and even a bounce house! Their lead planner, Vicki, made the wedding planning process a breeze. Brittany shared, “I quite literally could not have done our wedding without a planner; I thought I could going into it.”

Though wedding planning seemed like a task Brittany and Joshua could tackle themselves, they quickly realized the challenges it entailed. Vendor quotes, decisions, and event intricacies had become overwhelming for the couple. Brittany acknowledged, “I genuinely did not know where to turn because I felt like everything was turning me every which way. I thought I was missing details on certain things or hidden fees.” They needed a seasoned professional to advocate for them at every step of the wedding planning process.

“There’s so much that goes on behind the scenes that a bride just doesn’t know about. Even on the day of the wedding—there are so many little nitty-gritty details that you just don’t think about”, Brittany reflected. After confiding in loved ones and doing their research, the couple began their search for the perfect wedding planner. When choosing their dream team, the couple wanted them to feel like family. Brittany remarked, “I genuinely want them to feel like I can call them to come over for Thanksgiving.” Once Brittany got on a consultation call with Vicki, she knew she found the perfect wedding planner. She reflected, “When I talked to Vicki, I felt that connection. I felt that click. I knew that she was going to be a good fit for us.”

Once the couple said “yes” to Lulu Events, Vicki got to work. Whether she reviewed vendor contract details, assisted in event decisions, or gave a listening ear with informed perspectives— Vicki had all the bases covered. The Craveys envisioned a celebration inspired by spring, featuring seasonal hues and bold floral arrangements. With floral design at the heart of their vision, Vicki collaborated with the couple and their florist to bring their vision to life. Brittany explained, “I showed her probably a hundred different Pinterest photos and she made it happen. She picked everything with a fine-tooth comb. If I wanted to change one flower, she was changing it for me.” Vicki’s expertise was exactly what the couple needed. Brittany explained, “She was the part of my brain that couldn’t think about the extra steps. She’s obviously very well-seasoned and very experienced.”

On March 23, 2024, the couple tied the knot at The Ribault Club. Vicki made the day a breeze for everyone involved. The couple expressed, “Vicki thinks things through for you before you can even think about it, without you even knowing. It just made our day seamless.” As no one can be in two places at once, the couple noted how having a second brain who knew and understood the intricacies of their vision kept them stress-free all day. Brittany stated, “I wouldn’t have been able to go down there and tell people where everything went. I don’t even think if I would have asked my family members to do it, I don’t think it would have ended up being exactly what we wanted.” During the celebration, Vicki ensured the couple stayed stress-free by predicting the needs of Brittany and Joshua and promptly addressing them. The couple recalled, “Whatever we needed was there before we could even ask for it.” With their stress lifted and their vision realized, the Craveys focused on what truly mattered— celebrating their love surrounded by family and friends.

Vicki’s proactive and attentive nature guaranteed the newlyweds a stress-free, unforgettable wedding day. The Craveys’ wedding day was a testament to the power of a seasoned wedding planner. With the Lulu Events team by their side, the couple’s dream wedding day came to life— filled with joy, beauty, and memories they will treasure forever.
