Jennifer was by far one of the best vendor choices I made for our wedding.

She was very quick to respond by email / phone and always had an answer for my answers.

She was on time for our meetings and always helped me realize what was worth worrying over and what wasn't.

I was lucky enough to book her as well as a few vendors she's worked with previously, which left me feeling VERY comfortable that all would go well.

On our wedding day, she quickly calmed me down when I had a flower emergency and made sure things went off without a hitch.

Thanks Jenn!

Jennifer was ok. She did her job I suppose. She was helpful before the wedding and was patient when we were running late to the rehearsal and the day of the wedding. She help set up the tables and made sure everything was going as it should be. A few family members said she got snippy with them but I took that with a grain of salt. She didn't seem to do much during the reception, it was really all the DJ. The caterer took care of our drinks and food etc and I think even the DJ refilled our drinks once. She doesn't seem much of a people person? The whole wedding was running late so our exit was late. She knew we had to have the venue cleared out by midnight. She said that everything was on time but when I got the photos back, it says when the last picture was taken which was 11:24 so that was a lie. She didn't tell our guests that they needed to be out, she just left after everything was packed up and our family members were putting things in their car and some were just dilly dallying. I wish she would have said SOMETHING. She said it's not her job to stay until everyone leaves. I understand that but shouldn't she have told the last of the guests to kindly leave?? I'm also kind of annoyed that her job DOES include fanning out my train for my entrance which she did a piss poor job, it was slumped on one side.

Altar Ego Weddings was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding day to go smoothly! I hired Jennifer for day of coordination which included rehearsal coordination. Her organization methods were very impressive when we met to go over order of the ceremony. My actual wedding day started off disasterous because it was supposed to be an outdoor ceremony, and it happened to storm on that day! Jennifer was so calm in helping me come up with a last minute backup plan and also with helping me come up with ways to move my outdoor decor inside and make it look like it was supposed to be there in the first place. We were supposed to leave in a gondola, but they wouldn't do it since it was raining, and she made some last minute moves and had a luxury suv pick us up instead. She was wonderful!!!! I can't say enough good things about her!

I booked Jennifer 4 months before my wedding to serve as my day of coordinator. She was very thorough with all the questions she had prepared, things I never thought of, and was maticulus when following through with what you asked her to do. I never had to worry if she would actually remember to do something, she was just that organized and on top of things. This is exactly what you want from someone who you are hiring as your day of coordinator to turn everything over to!! She is GREAT and worth every penny!!

Jennifer and her assistant were lifesavers. I don't know how we would've pulled off having the ceremony and reception in the timeframe we wanted without them. Totally worth every penny!!

Jennifer helped me plan my husband's 40th birthday roast. I live in Houston and was planning the roast in Dallas. Jennifer scoped out the location and caterer for me as well as suggesting a wonderfule DJ. Without Jennifer's direction and footwork, the party would not have been nearly as successful. She was the perfect combination of fun and professionalism before and during the party.

Jennifer was my wedding planner last November and she helped me make my big day the best day ever. She thought of things that I didn't even think of that needed to be taken care of. Her experience with working with various vendors helped me make the right decisions when I needed to. You can't go wrong with choosing Jennifer, she is professional, patient, and punctual (and doesn't get mad at you if you aren't :) ).

My wedding was on September 6, 2008 and I hired Altar Ego Weddings for full coordination. I believe that hiring Jennifer was one of the best investments we made for our wedding. Not only did she put up with my control freak tendencies through the whole entire process, she also accommodated them! I changed my mind multiple times and even the day before the wedding I gave her a complicated table arrangement that had various different number of people at each table and she was able to "decode" it. The day of the wedding I was probably the most stressLESS brides EVER. The only thing I was nervous about was waiting to get to the altar to say my vows. My intial reaction when I first walked into the venue was WOW! She really pulled off everything perfectly and we didn't have a care in the world. My new husband who was pretty apprehensive about the "need" for a wedding coordinator was also impressed and was glad that we hired her. I would HIGHLY recommend Altar Ego Wedding to any couple who wants a stress free wedding day to enjoy themselves.

Jenn is so easy to work with. All of her vendors that she recommend were high-quality and we weren't disappointed with any of them. She was so easy to get in contact with and would respond super quick!! Small or large questions, she always had an answer for me. Anything I would ask about, she would research and give me several suggestions.
I received many comments about how smooth our day went and it was all because of her! She did an amazing job! We met the week of my wedding and went through all the details and she took care of everything I asked for. She checked in with me several times at night to make sure I was good and to see if I needed anything. My family adored her and so did I. She wasn't just a coordinator, she was a friend.

Jennifer was absolutely more than we hoped for and we had an amazing time at the wedding. We had very high standards of what we wanted but were never disappointed and were always impressed with her responsiveness, professionalism, and genuine concern for the bride and groom. Every detail that we requested, Jennifer made sure our request was honored. Jennifer left us with no worries, allowing us to enjoy each moment. Our wedding day was beautiful and it was so nice to be able to relax and enjoy our own wedding day. We are constantly receiving complements on what a beautiful event we held. We highly recommend Altar Ego Weddings.

Hiring Jen for my day-of coordination was one of the best decisions I made during my planning! She was incredibly thorough in our pre-planning meetings, keeping track of minute details I would have never even considered. As for the wedding day, all I can tell you is that I had nothing to concern myself with other than having fun with my bridesmaids and getting pretty! Every other detail was handled and if anything went wrong I never knew about it. Jen stuck around til the very end and made sure my gifts were transported back to a BM's house, the centerpieces collected, and the left over liquor packed up. Thank goodness because the last thing I would have wanted to do would have been to entrust those tasks to a drunken friend or relative! Oh, her prices are also REALLY reasonable!

Jennifer, the consultant at Altar Ego weddings, was basically my right arm. She kept track of the details, she organized meetings, phone calls, followed up with vendors, reminded me of pertinent details, met with me whenever needed, was prompt in her communication and basically kept me sane. I had an issue with the cooridinator provided by the location that caused some stress to me on the day of the wedding and I don't know what happened after that, all I know is that Jennifer got things taken care of without bothering me. She is awesome and I would recommend her to anyone.
