A perfect day thanks to Jennifer!

We are extremely grateful to Jennifer for being deeply organized, experienced, and patient, all qualities that were key in making our wedding a dream!

Our wedding was in Salem, MA and we live out of state so hiring a wedding planner was essential for us. Jennifer perfectly guided us through the tangled mess that is wedding planning. From our first meeting, both of us felt listened-to and confident that Jennifer could help us shape our loosely defined vision.

Jennifer was always organized and on track - even when my partner and I, admittedly, weren’t - and ensured no deadline went past due. She reviewed our contracts, negotiated on our behalf, and if a vendor wasn’t looking like they matched our style, she quickly and seamlessly had others on deck that were a better fit. We told her our budget, and throughout the process she did her best to make sure we kept that in mind with suggestions and advice.

Whenever we had questions or needed clarification, Jennifer was a Zoom meeting (since we were out of state during planning), an email or a text away with ready guidance and words of support that really helped an indecisive bride make decisions.

Our wedding really went perfectly. I was all ready for the, “you can’t control everything and something will go wrong.” For ours, I can confidently say that this didn’t happen. Jennifer coordinated very, very well with our vendors and they had nothing but praise to say about working with her! I know, without a doubt that our wedding day could not have gone so seamlessly if Jennifer had not been the quarterback of our team throughout the process.

Thank you Otto Events, we are so very glad that together we were able to make our vision a reality!

Supportive & Responsive

Jennifer was a huge help on our big day. She is friendly, level-headed, and high-energy. We were deeply grateful to have her thoughtful guidance throughout the planning process. She was especially helpful with last minute vendor coordination / changes, as well as tracking down a caterer when we were struggling to find one in our price range.

10/10 highly recommend! Jenn is a must-have!

My husband and I chose to have what some may call a “traditional wedding” with the ceremony taking place at a Catholic church. As you may know, this required us to enroll in pre-cana classes, and attend conferences with the priest, which needless to say, added more things to our already filled agenda to complete before the time of our wedding. When we began to feel the wave of anxiety due to our ever growing list, Jenn was able to put our minds at ease by making the wedding planning process more manageable. She did this by quickly creating lists and timelines, all while allowing us the freedom to plan the wedding that we desired. She kept us organized, thoughtfully reminded us of deadlines and was there to answer any questions along the way. When I would send a text, a phone call full of clarity and reason would soon follow. She gave us advice and suggestions along the way, making sure that we kept in mind our budget and vision.
She is somebody my husband and I both felt fully confident in. If we didn’t know something (and we didn’t know much), we knew Jenn would steer us where we needed to be. Throughout the ceremony, Jenn came in clutch with not only ensuring everything went smoothly, but providing a calming presence when things seemed to not go according to plan.
From the start of rehearsal to the end of the reception we were grateful to have Jenn by our side, providing guidance throughout the evening making sure we took time for ourselves to enjoy every last moment. She went as far as keeping us hydrated and fed to ensure we were able to enjoy ourselves throughout the night.
We did take the route of having kids in our wedding. Thankfully, we had Jenn there to help support us to avoid any mishaps that come with making such a choice. During our rehearsal, Jenn provided the children with a motivational speech which included snacks for the kids if they were able to follow the rules of the church and make it through the entire ceremony without misbehaving. She was able to keep the children focused, and effectively redirect, support and say exactly what the children needed to hear to keep them on track (she did this with the adults as well). Both my husband and I are teachers, but Jenn has a special way with kids that not many others do. With that strength in mind, we have never found anyone else out there that possesses the perfect balance of strict yet kind, organized yet respectful. We received many compliments during and after our wedding about how well we were able to put our special day together. Although we cannot fathom taking much of the credit, Jenn was a major component in making our vision a reality.
As many others have said “you can’t control everything and something will go wrong,” like the priest freestyling during the homily. No one could have prepared us for that, however, Jenn was able to ensure everything that we could control was managed seamlessly.
As far as recommendations go, Jenn has some of the best vendors by her side. She recommended both our photographer and DJ, matching our style and vision to a T!! We couldn’t have been happier with our vendor team, they all went above and beyond to make sure that my husband’s and I’s needs were met beyond expectation. Without her guidance, references, management, and knowledge, this day would not have come to fruition the way it had.
Thank you so much Otto Events! We are forever grateful.

I've had the pleasure of working with Jennifer during a wedding I photographed for a beautiful couple in the New Hampshire mountains at Longlook Farm. Everything was meticulously coordinated and every detail executed to perfection! I highly recommend Jennifer to brides that want to ease the stress of wedding planning or just don't have the time to fumble with all the details. Jennifer will take a ton of weight off your shoulders, and I could tell she did by how at-ease my couple felt the day of the wedding, they could relax knowing that Jenn is taking care of all the details! Everything was so fun to photograph!
