  • Co-Founder

    Lauren is a Florida native turned proud Texas transplant with a passion for meaningful moments and seamless celebrations. After years of attending weddings where guests spent more time behind their phones than in the moment, Lauren teamed up with her close friend and business partner, Katherine Ellis, to launch In The Moment—a service that brings privacy, presence, and peace of mind to weddings without the awkwardness or hassle.

    With a background in healthcare and operations, Lauren brings a calm, organized, and people-first approach to every event. Whether she's helping a couple lock up their guests' phones or coordinating the flow of the day, Lauren's mission is simple: let love take center stage—distraction free.
