Indie Dolls Event Design + Coordinating -

Kelly Hernandez

I have used Laura twice in the last 18 months- first for my baby shower (august 2020) and most recently for my daughters first birthday (October 2020).

Originally I found Laura via Instagram- I saw a random balloon artist I followed tagged her in several very full scale events. I loved everything about her work, and despite be smack middle in the pandemic (aug 2020) I would see if she would be able to accommodate my event. I had my baby shower at Morning Lavender- a very upscale and high end venue in Orange County, CA. I had a somewhat stressful pregnancy while managing a toddler so I gave Laura my budget, some inspiration photos and wish list and let her run with it. SHE DELIVERED!! I walked into the venue day of and was beaming with an ear to ear smile. Everything was perfect, she hit every little detail and beyond! I didn’t have to lift a finger and I truly got to enjoy my whole baby shower.

Fast forward to October 2021- we held my daughters 1st birthday at Coyote Hills Golf Course for 100 of our closest friends + family. At this point I without a doubt knew if once again I gave Laura my vision + budget she would execute it, and she did just that!! Everything was perfect! So many of our guests said this was even better than any wedding that they have been to. She levered the venue itself and got lots of extras thrown in (champagne, bistro lights, drapery, extra time etc)

I would without a doubt highly recommend Laura for any high end birthday, shower, corporate event or wedding. Her and her team are professional, understand budget and timeline.

If we could leave a 15 star review we would. Laura literally saved our wedding, and without her it wouldn't have been as perfect as it was. She came in with perspectives and ideas that we hadn't considered, and really took charge to ensure that we had everything planned out to a T. She's extremely organized and really knows what she's talking about. She met with us many times prior to our wedding day, coordinated all of our vendors, and helped us design our tables and other decor. The day before she coordinated the rental setup and ran our rehearsal. The day of our wedding she was there bright and early setting up all of our tables and making sure everything was how we envisioned it, as well as managing all of our vendors as they trickled in. All of our vendors loved working with her and our guests appreciated having her as a guide. She is a force of nature and made us feel so at ease and relaxed the day of the wedding. We trusted her with our day and she overdelivered. She went above and beyond our expectations and really made our wedding day the best day ever. Any future events we will use Laura. Any of our friends planning a wedding, we will only recommend Laura. 100/100 would recommend.

Laura and her team are truly the best! Laura definitely made the wedding planning process stress free and smooth. I was blessed to have her as a wedding planner and pulling off our special day. Everything was beautiful and we received so many compliments on our wedding and it was because Laura put everything together perfectly. I couldn't have asked for a better wedding planner, she knows what she is doing. I would definitely recommend her to anyone in need of a wedding planner. Thank you so much for all you and your team did!

Laura and her team are true professionals! As someone who has personally worked hundreds of events over the years, I will say without a doubt that Indie Dolls is in the the top tier of all Event designers & coordinators I have ever worked with!! Their attention to detail, level of communication, and quality of work is incredibly impressive! I can't wait to work with them again soon!

I am providing one star because the system forced me to. We live in Atlanta and signed a contract with Laura to coordinate our February 2022 wedding in Park City. This included a 2,100 deposit. Due to the health of an older parent, we made the decision to move the wedding back to Atlanta. This was less than two weeks into the process and very little work had been done. As such, we called Laura to explain the situation and mutually agreed that since she had made a few phone calls, we were happy to pay 1,100.00 for her time and that she would refund 1000.00. She never refunded the money and has ignored multiple phone calls and emails since then. Further, prior to realizing we needed to move the wedding back to Atlanta, we scheduled a trip to Park City to look at some venues and lodging. Upon arrival we called and she informed us that she did not have time to meet with us and that we needed to visit the sites on our own. In the short time we worked with her, she was largely non responsive. Based on our experience I would strongly advise against using Laura Becker and Indie Dolls.

We hired Laura about a year before our wedding, wanting someone that was familiar with Salt Lake area and vendors because we were very new to the area. She made promises to vet all of the vendors and ensure that they were available on our wedding date prior to sending us the information to make an informed decision about choosing the vendor. She did not do that when it came down to it.
For example, we would ask her to send us recommendations for photographers and she would send me a list of 5 photographers that were all out of budget and did not verify availability prior to sending them to us. She sent me a list of 3 florists, I picked out my favorite and asked her to reach out to the florist for availability/pricing and she did not respond for over a week. At that point I decided to reach out to the florist myself for the information and the florist told me that she was not taking any business for all of 2022. After telling Laura this information, Laura told me that she wished I did not reach out to the florist myself because the florist had told her prior to me reaching out that she would take me as a client but did not realize that I was her client and did not want to go back on her word. Seems as though if Laura had a good relationship with the florist, the florist would have still taken me on as a client. Her responsiveness was ok (she would respond to emails fairly quickly but with a response of "working on it" or "i'll work on it") but would take a very long time to get us the information that we asked for. We wanted information about pricing/availability on multiple vendors and she would claim that the vendor would not respond to her due to it being wedding season and vendors are busy. When I reached out to the vendors I was interested in, every single vendor got back to me within 24 hours. After the first 3 months of working with her and essentially not getting anything done, I had asked her to start cc'ing my fiance and I in every single email that she sent regarding our wedding and she was not doing so and claiming that she had "multiple phone calls out" for everything. We told her about our specific deadlines that we wanted to meet and she did not meet our reasonable deadlines. To make things even worse, we had to pay half of the money up front to secure her availability and when we decided it wasn't a good fit for us we were out a significant amount of money. I would strongly recommend choosing a different wedding/event planner and if you do decide to book with her you should be aware that she does make false promises.

Laura and her team are exceptional and always go the extra mile to take care of their clients. As a trusted vendor, I get to work with them often and have been amazed at the follow through and professionalism this group exhibits. You can't go wrong with Laura & Indie Dolls Events!!

We hired Laura to design & coordinate my 40th birthday party. Her attention to detail was incredible. Everything looked beautiful and exceeded my expectations. Her team went above & beyond ensuring that every detail was thought out and taken care of. I highly recommend Laura for any and all of your party planning needs 🙂
