MDP Events was born in 2020 out of a passion for the industry as well as a drive to bring others joy through events and celebrations! I opened MDP Events in honor of my best friend Margaretta Dundon Potter who shared the same obsession and love for weddings that I do. I want to create the Most Divine Productions in honor of Maggie, but most importantly for each client. I've had the honor to plan countless events and I’ve learned how to make each unique vision come to life, while my clients enjoy the planning journey stress-free!

    The Best Day Ever!

    If you’re looking for a wedding planner who delivers absolute perfection, Lauren is it. Our wedding at The Don CeSar was nothing short of incredible, and that’s entirely thanks to her and her team. From the very beginning, Lauren provided exceptional vendor recommendations—every single one exceeded our expectations and helped bring our vision to life flawlessly. But what truly set her apart was the way she and her team anticipated our needs before we even had to ask. Every time I almost thought of something—whether it was help securing my veil or wishing I had a drink while on the dance floor—someone was already there with the perfect solution. It felt effortless, seamless, and completely taken care of. Because of Lauren, we were able to be fully present and actually enjoy every moment of our wedding weekend. Not once did I feel stressed or overwhelmed—just relaxed, happy, and soaking it all in. That kind of experience is priceless. Afterwards, we all kept saying the same thing—we have genuinely never met anyone as exceptional at their job as Lauren and her team. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and ability to execute everything flawlessly are truly unmatched. Everything was absolutely perfect, and we’ll cherish those memories forever. If you want a truly stress-free wedding with a planner who goes above and beyond in every possible way, Lauren and MDP Events is the one.

    Best wedding planner there is!!

    We are truly OBSESSED with Lauren and the entire MDP Events team!!! From start to finish, they did the most incredible job, and we genuinely could not have imagined our wedding day without them. Lauren’s eye for detail is unmatched, her calm demeanor kept us grounded through the entire process, and her ability to get anything done is honestly amazing. She handled everything so seamlessly and made the entire experience completely stress free which is saying a lot considering how vague and all over the place we probably were when trying to explain our vision. Somehow, she just got it and brought everything to life in a way that was even better than we could have ever imagined. The design, the execution, every little detail was beyond perfect. We are still in awe of how everything turned out. Lauren truly made our dream wedding come to life, and we are so incredibly grateful for her and her team. We seriously wish we could give 100 stars because they deserve every single one!!! ️

    Amazing Experience with Erin from MDP Events!

    I cannot say enough wonderful things about Erin from MDP Events! Our wedding was rescheduled twice due to hurricanes, and through it all, Erin went above and beyond to make sure everything fell into place perfectly. She handled every challenge with grace, professionalism, and an unwavering positive attitude that kept us sane during such a stressful time. Erin is more than just a wedding planner—she’s a true lifesaver. Her attention to detail, problem-solving skills, and genuine care for her clients are unmatched. I honestly couldn’t have done it without her. Thanks to Erin, our wedding day was everything we dreamed of and more. If you’re looking for someone who will go the extra mile and treat your wedding as if it were her own, look no further than Erin and the amazing team at MDP Events!

    A Pleasure to Work With!

    We worked with Lauren as our day-of coordinator for our March wedding at Selby Gardens. Lauren was so easy to work with, happy to answer any and all questions, and really made the wedding day completely stress free! From going through the timeline of the day making sure I actually got to eat the delicious food, to even helping bustle my dress - Lauren was there for me through it all!

    Lauren and her team at MDP Events were absolutely incredible and made all of our wedding day dreams come true. From the start, Lauren worked with us to help us make sure all of our wishes were attainable and helped us work outside the box to create a truly magnificent and unique wedding day. Lauren was always accessible and was able to answer all of our questions with ease, leaving us feeling confident in our decisions. She is an exceptional planner and we would recommend her to any couple who is looking to make their wedding day unforgettable. We cannot believe our special day is over, and wish we could do it all over again with Lauren and her team! Thank you Lauren and MDP Events!!
