C&N’s Garden at Elm Bank wedding in August was the perfect summer celebration. The gardens were in full bloom, with bright greens and vibrant flowers creating a beautiful, natural setting for their day. To make the most of the stunning weather, we set up a sailcloth tent on the lawn, giving guests an open, airy space to enjoy while surrounded by the gardens. The décor was bright and intentional, focusing on summer colors that tied everything together. From the incredible food to their lively band, every detail was planned with care to create a festive atmosphere. Guests spent the evening enjoying great music, good company, and the unmatched beauty of the venue.
Planning a wedding at Elm Bank takes a lot of coordination—it’s a blank slate venue, which means every piece, from power and lighting to rentals and catering, has to be brought in. I worked closely with C&N to ensure everything was seamless. We mapped out every detail and spent time planning the logistics of their ceremony at the church and transition to their cocktail hour and reception at the Garden at Elm Bank. The day came together beautifully, giving C&N and their guests an unforgettable experience in one of New England’s most stunning garden venues.
Garden at Elm Bank Wedding
"Lauren is AMAZING. I was initially hesitant to hire a coordinator — like many brides, I thought I could do it all myself. Thank god my family and friends convinced me to seek out help. From the first meeting, I knew Lauren was the right choice. She was immediately on board with our summer camp wedding plan, didn’t balk at our less conventional choices, and steered me in the right direction on important vendor and event timing decisions. She is kind and friendly and enthusiastic but also, as my uncle put it, a bulldog — she got things DONE, (kindly) hounded vendors, and went above and beyond on reception set up. Lauren helped us make informed decisions that ensured our wedding flowed seamlessly. She took away my stress and helped us actually have FUN, like a lot of fun. I couldn’t recommend a better partner. 15/10."
