From Catering to Creating Experiences

For Lynn Gonzalez of Multiplicity Wedding & Events, the path to wedding planning began in 2016 on the catering side of the industry. “I was always fascinated by how all the moving parts came together to create an experience,” she recalls. Over time, she discovered where her true passion lay—weddings. “What really drew me in was the emotion, the creativity, and the chance to be part of such a meaningful day. I love being able to take away the stress for couples so they can be fully present, while I focus on the details and bring their vision to life.”

A Love for Intimate, Personal Celebrations

When asked about her favorite events to plan, Lynn lights up. “My favorite events to plan are weddings, especially those that are intimate and full of personal details. I love elopements and micro-weddings because they give couples the chance to truly focus on each other and create a meaningful, memorable experience.” For Lynn, it’s all about weaving together the details that reflect each couple’s unique love story.

A Florida Keys Wedding to Remember

One wedding that stands out in her memory took place in the Florida Keys. “The couple wanted their day to feel very personal, relaxed, and meaningful, so every detail was tailored to reflect their story,” Lynn says. The ceremony by the water, followed by a cozy dinner with their closest loved ones, left a lasting impression. “It reminded me why I love planning weddings—helping couples design a day that feels authentically theirs.”

Defining Career Moments

Among her proudest achievements, one moment shines brightest—booking her first full-service wedding planning client. “It was such a proud moment because it showed the trust a couple placed in me to guide them through the entire process from start to finish,” she says. “Standing there on their wedding day, watching everything we had spent months planning come together seamlessly, was incredibly rewarding.”

Grace Under Pressure

While every planner knows that weddings come with surprises, Lynn’s calm and organized approach ensures couples never feel the stress. She remembers one event where a vendor ran late with a delivery. “I quickly reassessed the timeline, communicated with the team, and delegated tasks to ensure everything stayed on track. By staying calm and solution-focused, we were able to make adjustments seamlessly, and the couple had the day they envisioned without even realizing there had been an issue.” Moments like this reinforce why preparation, flexibility, and communication are essential in the world of wedding planning.

About Lynn

Born and raised in Key West, Lynn has always been drawn to creating memorable experiences. Today, she specializes in wedding and event planning with a special focus on intimate weddings and elopements.

A Focus on Connection

For Lauren Gunn, founder of Pop-Up Vows, weddings are about more than perfect details — they’re about joy, peace, and true connection. “My goal is simple: to make weddings feel less like a production and more like a true reflection of who a couple really is.”

Through planning, officiating, content creation, and photography, Lauren helps couples embrace the beauty of small celebrations. Her favorite events are always “intimate, peaceful, joyous, happy weddings.”

Unforgettable Moments

One of Lauren’s favorite memories is of a beach elopement where the couple’s young daughter carried the rings. “The ceremony was simple, heartfelt, and full of laughter — it reminded me why I love intimate weddings so much. It wasn’t about perfection; it was about connection, and that’s what made it unforgettable.”

Another highlight was helping a couple transition from a canceled big wedding to a meaningful elopement. “Seeing their relief and joy, knowing I turned what could have been disappointment into the best day of their lives, made me incredibly proud,” Lauren shares.

Grace Under Pressure

Even the most carefully planned events come with surprises. At one outdoor beach wedding, the weather took an unexpected turn. “Instead of panicking, I calmly shifted the setup, reassured the couple, and created a backup plan on the spot. The ceremony ended up being even more magical with the moody skies as a backdrop.”

For Lauren, moments like this prove that flexibility and a calm presence are just as important as the ceremony script itself.

A Personal Touch

Lauren’s journey into the wedding industry began during the height of COVID, when many couples had to cancel their large celebrations. She saw an opportunity to help them find joy in smaller, more intimate ceremonies — and Pop-Up Vows was born.

Today, she brings her talents to couples across NYC, Long Island, and South Florida. “Fun fact — I’ve officiated ceremonies everywhere from Central Park gardens to waterfront rooftops to beachside hideaways, and I thrive on making each one feel one-of-a-kind.”


Beyond the Vows

When she’s not helping couples celebrate love, Lauren enjoys her own beachside life in Long Beach, NY, or discovering new hidden-gem spots in Florida. She’s a proud boy mom, an empty nester, and dog mom to Bella and Penelope. Her mission remains at the heart of every event: to create stress-free, meaningful weddings that feel authentic, joyful, and unforgettable.
