Meet the Specialists

---

Lori is the founder and owner of Events Chick. Lori began her career as a travel consultant which at the time covered all aspects of travel from business to personal. For many years she was a Director for OSSN (a national professional travel organization geared towards education and learning) for the DC, MD and VA area. Over the years her destination wedding business really took off, and she found herself arranging and booking more and more destination weddings. Lori also found that destination weddings were becoming more elaborate and required much more skill than simply arranging travel. She found that she was helping to arrange weddings and was being responsible for more intricate details. In the meanwhile, her honeymoon business had also increased, and she found herself giving advice on local weddings as well. Lori realized that she had found her niche as a wedding planner for not only destination weddings and honeymoons, but local weddings as well. Since then, Events Chick has evolved and her business is now entirely focused on weddings and honeymoons, be it local or afar.

Lori holds certifications from Sandals/Beaches as a Certified Specialist, Jamaica Specialist, The Bridal Society, and holds the designation of a Certified Travel Associate. Lori has traveled extensively throughout the Caribbean and Mexico as well as throughout the U.S. Her diversified background enables her to assist her clients with venue selection and location for their weddings and honeymoons.
