“Lauren was the absolute best when it came to communicating, collaborating, planning and executing the our yearly best friend’s dinner. We were pleasantly surprised with not only the amazing, locally grown meal, but she included a delicious charcuterie board, and beautiful table. We loved working with Lauren and look forward to working with her and her team again.”
