Thoughtful, detail-oriented, and experienced! Great for out-of-state couples

Jill was an absolutely amazing planner for our wedding in Steamboat! As a bride planning a wedding from out-of-state, I was so impressed by her local knowledge and industry connections, which made coordinating everything from afar so much easier.

Jill is thoughtful, detail-oriented, and experienced. It was clear that she truly cared about us and our vision for our wedding. She helped to ease our stress, keep us on track, and made us feel supported every step of the way. Day-of, things flowed so smoothly that we didn’t even realize what hiccups may have happened behind the scenes (which is exactly what you want in a planner!)

Thank you, Jill, for making our special day a success!

I don’t know how else to put it, but Jill is family. When you have someone plan your wedding, they learn everything about you and your family and see you at your best…and your worst. Jill quickly picked up on all our personalities and figured out a way to keep the peace throughout the process.We had some very strong voices and even conflicting visions, and Jill figured out a way to bring everyone’s ideas to the table and combine them. She is a miracle worker. Jill can see the big picture, even as you find yourself bogged down in the details, and she makes sure it all comes together to create the day of your dreams. I wish I could have Jill with me for all my major life events. She is calm and sweet but also strong and organized. She has a great sense of humor and is someone you want to be your lifelong friend. My entire family agreed on one thing after my wedding: We could not have done it without Jill.

Working with Jill was such a joy. She totally took charge of all the arrangements . I live in Dallas and could not have secured the great vendors that she did for my husband's birthday party. It was a great success and we will be forever grateful. Jill is flexible, prompt with her responses, and has great follow through. Her prices are reasonable and well worth the peace of mind knowing you are working with a true professional.

Jill is the absolute best! She worked with us from start to finish and everything was beyond perfect. We had a short timeline, but Jill made everything work and put us in contact with great vendors. Jill helped make our wedding day the best day of our lives. I would highly recommend The Main Event!

The Main Event did a wonderful job on my small, intimate wedding. Jill stayed on top of things and provided regular updates. It was a very special occasion made possible by her.

Jill was very organized and an essential part of our wedding day in Steamboat Springs. We hired Jill to help us with the wedding day/weekend events including a wedding ceremony at the local church and an evening reception at a second location on the mountain. We met with her several times before our day to be sure everything was set and she had tons of ideas for how to make the schedule of events run smoothly so we'd have a great low stress day. We were able to relax and enjoy our wedding day since we knew she had all the details, decorations and vendors handled. Jill had great ideas for details of the wedding and reception that we hadn't thought about. She also worked extremely well with our photographers. We received tons of compliments from our guests about Jill and how wonderful everything went that day. We definitely recommend Jill to anyone looking for a wedding planner!

Cheers to Jill and her staff for helping us create the best day of our lives. From our first meeting with Jill we felt very comfortable putting our big day in her hands. She took care of every little detail, so we could just enjoy our experience without any worries. Thanks again Jill!

Thanks!

When we started planning our Steamboat wedding all the way from California, we knew we'd need to find someone local who could help. The Main Event wasn't the least expensive option, but after meeting with Jill we knew that we could really trust her to get the job done -- and it was worth the extra $ to have that peace of mind. The things we most appreciated about working with Jill: she always over-delivered on the commitments she'd made to us in our contract, she was able to adjust her style/approach to our unique needs (and wedding style), and she made us feel like she was really excited to be working with us. She also knows the local vendor landscape well, which was really important for us since we could only be in town a couple of weekends for planning purposes and didn't really have the ability to shop around. Oh, and maybe we should also mention: our wedding went off without a hitch (well, we think it did ... if there was a hitch, she hid it/fixed it and we certainly didn't notice ... which was exactly what we wanted). We recommend the Main Event highly, especially for folks like us who are coming from out of town and have "big city" expectations for the kind of service they'll get from a planner.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

The Main Event is a wonderful group to work with. As a Filmmaker, my job to tell a great story is greatly dependent on the quality of the wedding planning team. The Main Event had everything so organized and flowing smoothly at our last event. The result of my final product was greatly increased. I would recommend The Main Event to anyone in any area!

I have worked with The Main Event for years and they are hands down one of the best wedding and event companies in Colorado. Everyone loves Jill and she works tirelessly to make sure every event is everything the bride and groom dreamed of. I have seen her pull off huge events. One in particular was in an aspen grove far from any electricity or land line, it required everything to be brought in, a huge tent, lighting, decor, catering, electricity, plus all of the many things none of us think of, every detail was thought out to perfection and the event was flawless.
