love from clients & suppliers
“Laice, I can’t begin to thank you enough.
Nathan and I just had the best weekend of our lives and I can honestly say it was all thanks to you. I am so grateful for your time (a lot of it) From the start you got us, and approached the event with such ease.
I loved planning with you as much as having you there on the day. Yourself and Doug went above and beyond.
An unstoppable team!
— GEORGIA & NATHAN
“From the moment we met Laice, from Place of LB we knew we were in the right place. Their expertise, attention to detail, and unwavering dedication transformed our wedding dreams into a breathtaking reality.
Throughout the entire process, Laice and Doug exhibited a remarkable ability to understand our vision and bring it to life in ways we never imagined. They seamlessly coordinated every aspect of the event, from transforming our home into a venue to the smallest decorative details, ensuring that every element reflected our style and personalities perfectly.
Their professionalism and organization were truly impressive. We were consistently impressed by their prompt communication, proactive problem-solving, and meticulous planning. No detail was too small for their attention, and they went above and beyond to ensure that everything ran smoothly on our special day.
Not only did Laice and Doug handle the logistical aspects flawlessly, but they also provided invaluable emotional support and guidance throughout the planning process. Their calm demeanour and reassuring presence helped alleviate any stress or concerns we had, allowing us to fully enjoy every moment of our special day.
Our wedding was nothing short of magical. We are endlessly grateful for their hard work, creativity, and dedication in making our dream wedding come true. We wholeheartedly recommend Place of LB to anyone seeking a truly exceptional wedding that feels intrinsically them.

“If I imagine how my wedding experience might have been without Place of LB it’s kind of laughable… the level of creativity, excellence and expertise that this team deliver, in every aspect, elevates a wedding or event into a completely unique and flowing experience in time.”
“The key benefit for me, as a bride, was knowing that at every point in the process where a decision had to be made; we were collaborating to make the best decision possible in that moment. All those sliding doors moments in wedding event planning; should we chose this, should we chose that… they are the moments that normally drive anxiety for any bride & groom couple - but with Place of LB the decision making process is enjoyable and exciting; it feels part of the joy of the day itself. You’ve got the knowledge and confidence that you’re partnering with the best suppliers, coupled with an intuitive understanding that LB is guiding everything strategically and creatively towards an even more magnificent wedding that you ever could have hoped for, or dreamed possible.”
— JULES & TRENT
Jess - “The inspiration I first sent was just pictures of shoes… Your response, ‘yep totally got it, I love it’. Those who know me know I am a perfectionist, yet I felt completely comfortable with Laice taking the vision forward” Truly magical..
Ethan - “After having been to dozens of friends weddings over the last 3 years and hearing their stories, my hopes for the wedding planning process were ‘hopefully not dreadful’. Not only did Laice and Doug somehow help me actually participate in the process meaningfully, I had genuine fun planning the wedding with them. It turned the entire year into a fun memory.”
Probably the simplest way to put it, is that by the end of the process we felt like the four of us had built a legitimate friendship over the year. There was never a moment where I doubted I could count on them.
We are so thankful they were there for us. We couldn’t dream of having the day without them.
— JESS & ETHAN
“I knew that I wanted to work with Laice before I was even engaged.
Having followed her work for a while, I just loved how uniquely she captured each couple's love story. Laice completely exceeded my expectations with her creativity, style and eye for design - she understood what Dan and I had envisioned for the day (even though I am terrible at articulating what I want) and brought to life something far beyond what we could have ever imagined. She is highly connected, and has an innate ability of bringing together the right creatives for the job. I say creative over vendor as everyone was truly a master at their craft, and so fun to work with.
Doug, the operational and logistics king, ensured a smooth and seamless day. No request was too big or too small, even a very last-minute request for Fireball the day of. What makes them so unique is that they aren't just experts in the events industry, but they combine this with a deep knowledge and understanding of culture, art, food, design and fashion which means the creative direction feels so different to anything else out there. I honestly could not have imagined our wedding without Laice and Doug being a part of it, and wish we could do it all over again!
— MIA & DAN
“Without you, our day would not have been possible.
Thank you for throwing this celebration for Ash and I, a combination of our love for each other.
You have fielded every question, solved every problem and smoothed every lump.
Without you, Ash and I couldn’t have achieved our dreams of travelling the world whilst simultaneously planning a 400 pax wedding.
Thank you and we will miss chatting every day.”

“From meeting Laice I knew I had met my match! Her creative process and organisation made it so easy to dream ideas into reality. Coming from a creative background I thrived off her energy and we bounced ideas back and forth until we created an unforgettable weekend. I never considered a planner, I’m so grateful now and I couldn’t imagine any of it coming to life without LB.”

“Place of LB made the entire process of planning our wedding a dream. Their creativity, thoughtfulness, and innate eye for style allowed us to explore concepts that initially seemed impossible. Planning an international wedding comes with numerous traditions, logistics, and time zones. However, Place of LB’s innovative thinking and meticulous eye for detail ensured that everything was flawlessly managed. The entire weekend was the most joyful and special time, completely stress-free. From working with the most talented and supportive vendors to surprise custom candle holders on the night, we could not be more appreciative of the love and care that was put into our wedding.
We feel incredibly fortunate to have worked with the best of the best!”
— SASS & CONNOR
“From the very minute we engaged Laice, we felt an instantaneous wave of calm. I don't think we've ever met a woman more single handily 'on it'. She literally did not skip beat from the very beginning to end, when she bid us farewell at our exceptionally organised wedding brunch the next day. Being in the creative field, we came into our wedding day with a very specific vision in mind but with no time to make it happen and Laice complemented us perfectly. She could see straight away where our gaps were and seamlessness filled them, taking us both on a journey which resulted in our dream wedding weekend. Not only does she have a unique creative sensibility, she brings new meaning to the term organisation. Put quite simply, she has military precision and execution. Within a week she had scooped up all of our suppliers and had us back on track! She clearly has a great reputation both in and outside of the industry, because everyone who dealt with her on the weekend and in the lead up sung her praises. We can't thank the dream duo Laice and Doug enough for everything they did to bring our special celebration to life. On the weekend you both became an extension of us and we feel so lucky to have had you as part of the ride”

“Given the new world of Covid, we had four date moves. We needed someone who could organise and bring our vision to life and deal with the stress of Covid causing lockdowns and changes. I was looking for someone to help me bring this day and our vision to life (plus manage all the vendors, and keep on top of budgets). Laice, our planner from LB Styling, entered the journey halfway. We had mutual friends and we connected straight away.” “It was important to get the vision right and ensure we could work collaboratively. Laice and Doug made sure our weekend was perfect. No task was ever too hard for them, any challenge became a laugh. I found them both refreshing to work with, and out of it, Sam and I made two beautiful new friends.”
— GEORGIA & SAM
“Laice - Jared and I can never thank you enough for the immaculate job you did planning, styling and coordinating our wedding. Your professionalism and vision is completely un-paralleled and I would highly recommend your services to anyone in the throes of party planning. As a creatively challenged accountant whose wedding Pinterest board was, lets just say, all over the shop - you were able to synthesise and craft a vision that was uniquely our own and, moreover, at the core of who we are. You made sense of the chaos and gave us your complete and undivided attention...not to mention navigated us out of some potentially disastrous situations (never forget hairdresser-gate & crew-meal-gate). When we couldn't find the perfect centrepieces - you hand-made them. When we wanted to wow our guests - you sourced meter high candles, synchronised swimmers and 1400 stem natural rose flower aisle. The ideas were big and out there (just what we wanted) but so undeniably chic at the same time. And, perhaps Jared's favourite feature, you paid close attention to the budget. Laice you are humble, capable, calm and ever-so generous. From our first call I knew I had found not just a stylist/ planner extraordinaire but a lifelong friend. Highly recommended and forever grateful”
— em & JARED
“As someone within the PR industry, I (thought I) had a clear vision for the day but needed the support and drive to make it all happen. From the first meeting with Laice, I was captivated by her style, can-do attitude and calm presence. Not only did Laice and her team (MVP Doug – can take this out lol) take our make our vision happen, but they enhanced it in everyway possible. They worked seamlessly with our vendors, managing their very movement so we could focus on the day ahead. Many people ask did anything go wrong, or would you change anything? For us, hand on heart with Laice as our support, we would haven’t have changed a thing. It was a dream day that we will cherish forever, and this is all thanks to Laice and her extraordinary talent & team!”
— CLARE & JONO
“IT WAS LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT! I knew LB was the one! Laice and Doug are nothing short of world-class! The journey from start to end was led with excitement, collaboration and a labour of love. Laice was an absolute gem to work with, we created, innovated and executed the Wedding of my Dreams. She brought a sense of calmness to every discussion when things didn't work out, she always brought excitement to the planning and delivered an extraordinary day our family and friends will remember forever. We started out as clients and ended up as friends, Laice and Dougie we can't thank you enough for going above and beyond to bring our special day to life. We cherished the moments we spent together and looking forward to creating new moments in life.”
— DARIAN & JOSHUA
“As a newly married couple we feel it is our duty to share any golden nuggets of wedding wisdom to those embarking on their wedding planning journey. To the relief of many I’m sure, our advice is brief - engage LB Styling ASAP. Laice was integral to the success of our wedding. We hugely valued her expertise and connections in the wedding industry, however it was her innate ability to pinpoint any seeds of concern and quickly resolve them that mattered the most to us. Her tireless efforts allowed us to enjoy what is traditionally a very stressful time, and really be present and savour our wedding day. Laice was with us every step of the way and her empathetic, kind and results driven nature made it all an absolute pleasure. We will not hesitate to engage LB Styling”
— MEL & CRAIG
“If you are looking for a wedding planner or stylist, please stop what you are doing, find a bottle of bubbles and open it. It's time to celebrate because you have landed on Laice from the LB website, and I tell you, SHE IS THE BEST. Enough can not be said about what a hardworking, creative, friendly, organized, and supportive planner & stylist Laice Bollen is. And to say she went above and beyond is a vast understatement. Tom & I dreamed of a wedding of magic, something different, memorable, and unique. We also demanded a hell of a party, with big lights, bands, exceptional food & wine, and do you know what Laice delivered this and so much more! Her styling and inspiration decks were soooo cool, then to see her pull together a mix of outstanding suppliers and then see it come to life was nothing short of incredible. Not only is she creative and clever, but she is also kind. We were one of the unfortunate couples to plan a wedding during COVID; we had three cancellations & date changes; Laice took it all in her stride and calmly continued rearranging our special day. Even rain on the wedding day didn't phase her; she made last-minute plans to ensure our dreams became a reality. And I can tell you it was one spectacular day. Every word of praise she receives is well deserved, and as I said, if you are lucky enough to have Laice as your planner or stylist, you too can have the wedding of your dreams. Thank you again; we are forever grateful, Britt & Tom.”

“Everyone had the best dam day and night and we really felt all the energy and love which was everything we could have asked for. Planning this was so much funnnnnnn(I want to do it again and again) and I knew when I first spoke to you Laice you were the gal to carry this through. We were even lucky enough to get Doug! (What a legend) Your efforts were not unnoticed and were a pleasure to have apart of this experience!! Thank you for everything and being our support on the day so that we could let go and dance the night away. & HOW ABOUT PLAN B!! It was even better then PLAN A!!! The weather even cleared right up at the perfect times! How lucky were we.”
— MARY & PETER
“LB Styling was recommended to us 5 months out from our wedding day. From day 1, Laice was personable, she understood the vision we had for our wedding day and executed on this bringing her own creative flair, ideas and bespoke list of suppliers. She was extremely organised, always available and made the lead up to our wedding day such a breeze. On the actual day, Laice handled everything to perfection, was across every minute detail and created the most memorable day of our lives! We can't thank Laice & Doug enough”
— ALICE & ALEX
“Laice and Doug are quite literally the dream team. We found ourselves without a wedding planner only a few weeks out from our wedding day, and after being able to have Laice and Doug style and coordinate our day we know this must have happened for a reason. From the minute LB styling took on our wedding everything was seamless. We were reassured with their timely communication, attention to detail and warm and friendly personalities and everything was executed better than we could have imagined on our day. We didn’t feel like we had "hired a service”; rather we had a couple of our mates who were experts organise our wedding for us, which created the funnest and easiest atmosphere from start to finish. It was the most stress free wedding we could have wished for and truely our dream wedding. We are so grateful for Laice and Doug and wish we could do it all again with them!”
— AMY & SPENSE
“We cannot thank Laice enough for the incredible effort, energy, and time she invested into creating the most incredible wedding day for us. Her excitement and enthusiasm for our special day was truly appreciated. We were based overseas making it difficult to plan a wedding, however, Laice provided us with support throughout the planning stage, ongoing ideas, budget tips, vendor access, support, and styling to name only a few key components. She tied every small detail into perfection on the day and over the weekend. On the day Laice (& her incredibly supportive ‘Dougy’) were exceptional wedding planners, managers & coordinators. We did not realize until then just how valuable having hands-on support was. They took care of literally everything, everybody, and every detail. We felt so at ease and relaxed with them around. They supported us and our families and made sure the day went to plan. From the rehearsal, to bump in and pack down, they took care of it all. We couldn’t recommend anyone else other than Laice (& Doug) and her close team of vendors including the celebrant, venue, flowers, food etc. Thank you so much for all your help”
— ASH & LUKE
“How do Ieven start to describe my experience with Laice. From day 1 she was the most helpful, comforting, approachable, competent stylist/planner. Not only did she go above and beyond and exceed my every expectation but she did it all with such a positive, fun attitude. When Iwas feeling overwhelmed with the wedding or stressed about anything one conversation with Laice would put my mind at ease straight away and she would bring all the excitement back into it for me. Every person who met her throughout my wedding process loved her and clearly recognised her talent along with her supportive husband Dougie. Her style is spot on and her amazing ideas and talented creativeness was beyond anything ienvisioned for our special day. Although she started as my amazing stylist/planner she then became one of my fabulous friends throughout the process and I cherish our friendship forever! I couldn’t recommend anyone more than Laice!”

“Always a pleasure to work with Laice at Place of LB
She is always open to creative expression while giving honest and effective feedback. She brings out the best in everyone’s creative work.”

“We have worked with Laice on numerous occasions with client and owned events including brands such as SWF Boutique and ghd hair, every time she has over delivered for us and our clients.
Laice and her team go over and above every time promising for an unforgettable, perfectly executed and styled event everytime.
I have confidence in knowing that when we are partner with the Place of LB the result is nothing short of perfection. The teams creativity blows my mind every event we partner together on they come up with fresh thinking and innovative styling.
I couldn’t recommend Laice and her team highly enough, everything they touch turns to gold.”
— TMC PR
“Working with Laice from Place of LB will add an unparalleled uniqueness and flair to your wedding day or event.
Laice is extremely organised, wildly talented and she has an effervescent personality that you just can't help but be drawn towards.
From the moment you engage with Laice, you get an immediate sense of her passion for what she does. Her creativity knows no bounds and her execution is always flawless.
I absolutely love being booked as the celebrant when Laice is the planner/ stylist, as I know that the wedding is sure to be a beautiful, joyous and well-organised event.
And we can't forget Doug, Laice's husband (and on-day muscle/ logistics and production). He too is an absolute delight to work with. He has a smile that could melt butter and is so friendly and attentive to not just the couple being married, but their wedding party, families and of course their guests.
Together, they are the dream team and I cannot recommend them more highly!
Bring on our next wedding!!!”
— ANiella batten, celebrant
