About

Hi, I’m Lauren.

Planner, Type-A optimist, and keeper of the emergency kit.

the ritterman family

Born and raised in Grand Forks, married to my favorite human, and mom to the world’s sassiest (and cutest) little girl. I have been in real estate making deals happen and perfecting spaces for a few years now, and I love what I do — helping someone find a new place for their business, start their investment portfolio, or even sell a house.

My love for planning events has always been there, but planning my own wedding really made me realize the passion I have for it. Now I’ve turned my Type-A tendencies, color-coded spreadsheets and Pinterest obsession into a full-blown event planning business. Whether it’s a wedding, a company party, or a grand opening, I bring the same energy: extreme organization, high standards, and a deep love for turning chaos into “wow.”

Grand Ritz Events was born out of the desire to provide a service that was out of the ordinary — recognizing the need for that perfect person who blends sophistication with warmth. Let’s make your next event unforgettable.

Celebrate Big

Every event deserves someone
who sweats the details.
