We asked Lauren about her experience in the industry and for some background information on Grand Expectation Events. Her attention to detail and the relationships she builds with vendors and her clients are evident in her work. Read below for more on how she is able to do what she loves with passion and style!
Personal Background:
Q: How long have you been in the industry?
A: I started Grand Expectations Events in 2009.
Q: What did you do before you became an event planner?
A: I was a Commercialization Specialist for JohnsonDiversey (a division of SJ Johnson, cleaning products).
Q: What are your favorite aspects of event planning?
A: I would say I love meeting so many people. It's great getting to know my clients and forming strong relationships. I also love keeping in touch after the wedding and seeing where their lives go.
Background on Grand Expectations Events:
Q: How did Grand Expectations Events get its start?
A: I always had desire to plan and host events. Through the years I was always the one friends and family went to for direction and style. In 2009, I got the opportunity to make my dreams a reality. It started right then and there, with passion and determination. I have been so fortunate to meet so many wonderful vendors as well as Brides.
Q: How many people are on staff?
A: Grand Expectations Events has grown and this year acquired the very capable Andrea Muhlhauser to take on more events. We look forward to growing even more in the future!
Q: What are your specialties?
A: I would say my specialty is details. I love all the little things that Brides want to do in order to increase the look of their day. I have good vision and can help them out with wanting to make their wedding unique.
Work in The Center:
Q: What do you like most about the venue?
A: I think it's such a unique space. The ballroom is a blank canvas and you can do whatever you want with the space. No two weddings will be alike there!
Q: If you could use The Center to design and host any event, what would it be and what would you do with the space?
A: There is so much you could do with the space it's hard to pick just one. I do think it would be really fun to "redo" plan my own wedding there. I love color and would add lots of it on the walls and tables. I would also love to take advantage of the entry space with the dome. An over the top cocktail hour would be very fitting there.

Event venue is the major concern before planning any event. You might find many event venues which would be within your budget which have all the things you need.
