LeMaire Events

Within a month of my engagement my now husband and I attended his cousin's wedding. When we told her we were engaged the first words out of her mouth following "Congratulations" were "Hire a wedding planner, at the very least hire a wedding coordinator for the day of. I didn't do that and it's the one thing I regret because on your wedding day you want to be able to sit back and relax with your family and friends, you don't want to be running around doing everything or have them running around doing everything." With such a tight budget I didn't think we'd be able to afford a wedding planner but the more I read into it the more I realized we couldn't afford to not have a wedding planner.

I'm a very organized and type-A person so at first my husband didn't think that we needed a wedding planner. We had almost two years to plan a wedding and he thought I could handle it on my own, however I knew I needed someone to pull my vision into a cohesive, beautiful event: that's where Lorie and Teresa walk in. From our first meeting I know they were the people I wanted to trust with our wedding. They created a budget (which I adhered to religiously), they gave us suggestions for the vendors and the venues, and they were at every meeting we had from viewing the venue, to the cake tasting, to the florist appointment. I sent them (an obsessive amount of) emails with pictures of weddings I wanted mine to look like, along with ideas, and any questions I had and they always responded promptly and figured out what a way to pull all the photos I sent them into one cohesive wedding. My husband even made a comment during the wedding process (an he was a very involved groom I might add) that everything was going so smoothly.

Our wedding day was perfect thanks to these ladies, I didn't have to do a thing other than enjoy my day. They made sure everyone was where they needed to be, doing what they needed to do. The venue looked beautiful and since our wedding everyone has continued to talk about how wonderful it was. We've gotten multiple compliments about Lorie and Teresa being on top of things, as well as how beautiful our recpetion was. In fact, several people who know what our budget was were shocked at how wonderful everything turned out and said it looked like we spent much more than we did, which to me was the ultimate compliment. At the end of the day I know I couldn't have done it without Lorie and Teresa and it was worth every penny. I highly recommend any bride use them regardless of how organized you may be, or if you think you can do it on your own, they will definitely pull your dream wedding together and take the stress off of you on your big day.

Lorie and Teresa are wonderful and were just what I needed for our wedding on March 24, 2012 in Augusta, GA! I had moved from out of state and was clueless as to which vendors to use for the wedding. Their suggested vendors were great and they were also up for using new vendors that I had found. They are open-minded for new ideas but still let you know what has always worked best in the past and with that help I felt like certain decisions were a lot more easily made. With their experience, they knew what was going on and what was going to be best for us. Timely email and phone call responses really brought my anxiety level down as well. They always answered my questions so quickly that nothing was ever rattling around in my head for too long. It was great!! The decorations were amazing at both the church and the reception! It’s like they could just sense our style the first time they met us and put together decor (centerpieces, lighting, chair covers) that brought ‘US’ out even more. I loved walking through the doors are seeing how gorgeous it was. Took my breath away!! They take every detail into consideration. You can’t do any better than these ladies!

Lorie and Teresa at LeMaire events are hands down the BEST people to trust to do your wedding in the CSRA. Two heads are always better than one, and this sister duo definitely work great together. They compliment each other perfectly and each bring something unique to the table. They took my abstract vision and created the perfect, soft, and southern wedding. Like Tina says, they are punctual and flexible and know exactly what needs to be done and when it needs to be done. My wedding was absolutely fabulous all because of LeMaire Events and I would recommend their expert opinion again and again and again!

Lorie and Teresa at Lemaire Events are the best! Wedding planning is hard enough, but when you throw in complications of planning long distance and being unfamiliar with local venues, vendors, etc., it can be a nightmare that ends up costing more than is needed. We called on Lorie and Teresa a little late – having to change our venue and not knowing where to turn. They gave us several suggestions we never would have found, otherwise, despite internet searches and they steered us to the greatest caterer, DJ, baker, and videographer ever. They ensured our daughter’s theme was carried out in every aspect of the decorations and personal touches. The tables were gorgeous from the centerpieces arranged by Teresa to the floating candles, napkins, everything. All of the decorations were gorgeous and we received nothing but compliments on what a beautiful wedding we had. As mother of the bride, it was so wonderful to just turn things over to them on the wedding day and be able to focus on nothing but the bride, confident that all the details were being taken care of. The wedding ran on schedule and Lorie and Teresa handled every detail of the day and any small issues that arose (very few of those, though). Bottom line is they were just wonderful – creative, responsive, and fun. They made Anna’s day what it was and that was just a perfect wedding. Can’t thank them enough or recommend them more highly.

LeMaire Events were hands down the best. i am so happy I choose them to decorate for my reception. It was breath taking when I walked in to my reception. Guests are still telling me how beautiful everything was. Thank you so much. I loved everything!!!!

I initially contacted Lorie and Teresa at LeMaire Events with the intentions of only hiring a Day-Of-Coordinator. When Lorie responded back (mind you, this is BEFORE we hired them) she provided me with a list of different venues around Augusta/North Augusta, a list of questions that they would ask during our first meeting (I was living overseas at the time) and a few other things. I was extremely impressed with how organized and responsive they were and after my husband met with them and they showed him various venue locations (we actually went with a venue that wasn't even on our venue list), we decided to hire them for full-coordination services.

Since we hired them a year and a half before the wedding, the ladies at LeMaire events always reached out to check in with us and send reminders off our to-do list. Almost all of our vendors - location, caterer, florist, baker, limo, rentals, etc. - were recommendations made by the ladies at LeMaire events. As the wedding day approached, they reached out to all of our vendors to confirm arrival times, payments, etc.. to ensure everything was stress free the day of the wedding. And believe it or not, the day was COMPLETELY stress free and these ladies played a large part in making that happen.

If you're looking for unresponsive, disorganized, wedding planners who will not ensure your wedding runs stress free - then do not hire LeMaire Events. But if you're a bride looking for two highly motivated, organized, responsive ladies who will not only bring your vision to life, but will do it on schedule and with little to no stress!!.... then Lorie and Teresa at LeMaire Events are the ladies for you. My husband and I didn't have to worry about a thing and could truly enjoy our wedding day. Our parents and family felt the same way - they could truly enjoy our wedding day and not have to worry about a thing because they two ladies had it all under control.

I cannot say enough about these two and how they were able to take my 1,001 ideas and suggestions, figure out my vision, and turn it into the classy, beautiful wedding. And I cannot emphasize enough how much fun they were to work with and just how organized, creative, and energetic they are. They're personalities compliment each other very well and we really enjoyed working with them. I sincerely thank them for making our wedding day a day my husband and I will never forget.

LeMaire Events is the BEST. Not only do they deserve five star rating, they deserve an additional five stars. They provided my husband and I the best service ever, they were punctual, provided great professionalism, they help you based on your budget. Whatever you want or desire they are willing to help you to the fulliest. We constantly think about our wedding and how LeMaire Events provided such great service and made our dream come true. Our friends and family was going on and on and on about how beautiful our wedding was. I strongly recommend LeMaire Events to anyone!!

The ladies at Lemaire events are just simply amazing. Our friends and family are still talking about our wedding on October 1, 2011. I knew from the day i got engaged that wedding planning was not something i could do nor was it something i would attempt to do. I was blessed to have met these ladies. Growing up in africa, i knew that was something i wanted incorporated in my wedding but i also knew i didnt want to lose my husband's American culture. We started planning the wedding probably a year before the date. Since i lived 2hours away, the ladies helped me so mcuh, from finding vendors, to making sure i stayed on budget, to finding a venue, finding hotels for my out of town guest and even finding us affordable places for our honeymoon. The ladies were so honest, professional but laid back, They went with me to all my meetings to make sure all my questions were answered. They helped me stay on task and organized. Everything just went so well together. Everytime i think about my wedding day, i find myself just smiling away. we had so much fun. I was so bless to have met lorie and Teresa and i would defeinetly recommend them to anyone planning any kind of event.

Lorie and Teresa from LeMaire events were amazing. I hired them for day-of wedding coordination and I couldn't be happier with how it turned out.

Pre-wedding: They are punctual, prepared, and flexible. We met several times, and Lorie came with us to the venue in the final weeks. The contact at the venue was totally scatterbrained, but Lorie made me feel so much better because she was so on top of it.

Lorie also helped execute many last-minute details of the decor with no questions asked. And they came out perfectly! They even rented me some linens that I needed.

During the wedding: The decor, scheduling, set up and wrap up for my wedding went beautifully. With the added task of setting up and taking down a complicated chair/table layout, LeMaire events went above and beyond what was necessary. It was like magic -- everything just got DONE, and on time, and I barely even saw them! It was exactly what a coordinator should be, and I couldn't have been happier.

I highly recommend them. They are affordable and incredibly professional. Thanks ladies!!

All I can say is LeMaire Events are the best! Take it from me, I am very hard to please but was well pleased with these women. They work very hard around the clock making sure my daughter's dedication was a special day. I am in the military and I live in Hawaii, but my event was held in South Carolina. These ladies were unbelievable, they did everything perfect without me being there prior to my event. I was so pleased, I dropped a little something special in the mail for all their hard work. Just tell them what you want and sit back and let them work their magic. I would highly recommend them to everyone and definitely will use them again!

We loved the experience of working with both ladies at LeMaire events. They work so well together and compliment each other well. They kept me organized and on track the whole time during the planning process. It really helped that they are up to date on all the different vendors, wedding supply stores and websites. They were honest about what they felt would be best but still let me make my own decisions. Everyone that came to my wedding is still talking about how beautiful and nice everything was. I would recommend them for any event that you want to be spectacular. Love you guys!!!!!

We came to LeMaire Events with just two weeks before the wedding day, and a lot of stress. Lorie and Teresa got us organized, and on track that day. We were confident that everything would be decorated, on budget, and run exactly as planned. They were with us through every detail. The day of the wedding was more than we imagined it could be. Every one had a good time. And we received many compliments for having such an awesome wedding on such short notice. And I tell everyone we couldn't have done it without Lorie and Teresa with LeMaire Events!

There are just no words to adequately convey how pleased our family is with LeMaire Events. My nephew’s wedding venue was changed and moved-up in date. With only a two-week notice LeMaire stepped in and put together his wedding on time, and on budget. They turned what could have been a disaster into a dream wedding. It was beautiful, sophisticated, our guest had a great time, and the family was able to relax and enjoy the wedding. LeMaire took the Bride and Groom’s wishes, added some great suggestions and produced more than our family could have imagined. I would highly recommend LeMaire Events anytime you want to make your occasion special.

My husband and I had our wedding at the end of September. The service provided by Lori and Teresa was magnificent and went above and beyond what I could have imagined. The result was a beautiful, elegant, and stress free wedding that I wanted. After trying to plan a wedding on my own and being overwhelmed I contacted LeMaire Events a few months before my wedding. It was the best thing I ever did!! Up until a month before the wedding I was deployed to Afghanistan. They helped me with vendors, payment plans, decoration ideas, photography, went to appointments...the whole works! They have very reasonable prices and give you all the attention you as the bride need and deserve. I didn't have a thing to worry about on my wedding day!! If you're looking for wedding planners, Lemaire Events is who you should choose. You won't be disappointed.

Simply Socials was awesome! They were there for me every step of the way. They were very professional and carried out all my wishes for my wedding day. They were very friendly and my wedding party raved about them. I really appreciate all their help and service to me.

These ladies are definitely first class. They truly helped make the reception an event to remember.

Lorie & Teresa are a joy to work with. I have used them for two events - for my wedding and my parents 50th anniversary party. Both times they were very helpful and knowledgeable - even in helping me select what kind of flowers I wanted in my bouquet (I wanted very simple). I have more of a Type B personality but they were able to make suggestions and recommendations without taking over. I would definitely use them again for other events.

Simply Socials knows style and sophistication at it's very best! It should be called Simply Sensational Socials! These ladies are amazing! I could not have asked for better coordinators/ decorators for my wedding. They helped me every step of the way with planning, budgets, timelines, vendors, flowers, decorations, etc. These ladies were truly a blessing to me and will be a blessing to all who have the opportunity to work with them. My husband and I received so many compliments about the ceremony and reception decor. Everything was absolutely beautiful and perfect. These ladies have truly been blessed with an amazing talent for making dreams come true. They have my #1 recommendation and I look forward to working with them for other occasions.

Simply Socials is awesome! With just six weeks notice they pulled off a beautiful wedding for us.Truly professional. They started out by being attentive to our wishes, likes and dislikes. Then they took care of business. Everything was great. The decorations were gorgeous. The food was unbelievable. They are meticulous with every detail. They were taking care of things I didn’t even know needed to be taken care of. We wanted to enjoy the wedding and they made it possible. With so many things going on it’s no wonder why many weddings are nightmares. We worried about nothing. And while they know how to take charge they were always pleasant to deal with. Their taste and experience is amazing. I work in a very detailed design oriented job and appreciate how few people can do what they do. And they were right on budget. I can’t say enough goods things. If only they could have helped me say my vows! We recommend Simply Socials 100%.

I got married at the Julian Smith Casino in September 2008 with the help of Lorie and Teresa (Simply Socials) and I must admit that I couldn't of had anyone better! They are super organized, and If you need something they're on it in a heartbeat. My whole day went off without a hitch! The decor was simply amazing, it looked like something you would see in a magazine! The man who rents it out said that the venue was the best it has ever looked! I've seen weddings that cost twice as much that were no match. They definatley go above and beyond even the highest of expectations.

I had only 4 months to plan the wedding of my dreams. With nowhere to start, I turned to Simply Socials and the planning couldn't have been any easier. Every intricate detail was planned down to the exact minutes everything would take. Aside from the planning and decorating of my wedding, the menu had to be created as well. The food that Simply Socials catered was exquisite and not something that I have seen at weddings I've been to. I know that since I had my entire wedding in their hands everything was going to run smoothly. I would recommend Simply Socials to anyone and everyone planning to get married. Thanks Ladies for the most extraordinary day of my life!
