Endorsements
"I worked with Jennifer on October 11, 2008. And I have to say she was wonderful to work with. She really did help make the day move very smoothly. It can be stressful staying on time, and she did a great job taking stress away and keeping everything on track! She contacted me throughout the whole process, was very friendly and professional. I loved working with her, I would highly recommend her for your wedding. "

The services received by Jennifer Pearl was amazing. On this very special day for a bride, I will say that the services went beyond just a service. The Rare Affair goes out of their way to make everything a success. Though our services were not a full all out wedding, everything was done as we expected which was great. We had no worries even up to the last minute details. Thank you so much.

My husband and I went through a rollercoaster planning our wedding and Jennifer stuck by us through thick and thin. We CHANGED our wedding date 4 times. She was there for US AT ALL TIMES! A bride should be relaxed and calm. Stress Free. I was all of the above THANKS to Jennifer. I recommend Jennifer and her crew to any bride. She is the BEST! We are sad the wedding planning is over. Her favorite Quote: "everything will work out GIRLE " At the end everything did!! Everything turned out beautiful. Thanks to Jennifer things were perfect. We stressed and worried for no reason! We don�t' know what we would of done without Jennifer! She saved US!
So who ever is reading this review and thinking about giving her call DO IT! You will NOT REGRET!!!!!! Trust US!
Thanks Jennifer!

Jennifer was right on top of things throughout the entire event and during the planning stage. Made my job as a Lighting supplier easier by being on site to answer any questions. Highly recommended. One of the best planners I have worked with!

I have nothing but the best things to say about Jennifer and her assitant. They were wonderful, one step ahead of me the whole time. Her timeline was perfect, the whole day ran smooth. I could just sit back and enjoy my day knowing that everthing was being taken care of. She was very professional and sweet and had the best advice. I would hire her again in a heartbeat for other functions.

Thank You Jennifer =)

Initially we went back and forth on whether or not we wanted to hire a DOC... We knew it was a smart idea since our wedding was going to be across the country, but we had personal and professional experience in party planning and our event was small and short.

We decided just to talk to a few and after striking out with most of them (It seemed like they wanted to take over our wedding), we talked to Jennifer and hit it off immediately. She went above and beyond ALL DOC duties and truly made our day special, organized and most importantly fun for us and our guests.

We both now see how a DOC is just essential and I can't recommend Jennifer enough.

Jennifer Pearl of The Rare Affair was a godsend for us. Her experience and knowledge of vendors was invaluable to facilitate our successful wedding. She would always return calls within 24 hours and went out of her way to make sure that everything was set just the way we wanted. She was very patient with us and gave us great confidence that everything would run smoothly on our wedding day.

On the wedding day, she and her assistant were at the venue the whole time making sure everything ran smoothly. Jennifer's extensive experience and good nature made it a much less stressful experience for us. She was well worth the cost.

Jennifer Peal you did the most amazing job for my only Daughter’s wedding on August 29th through September 1st 2008. The Rare Affair is a fantastic choice and great value in wedding planning. I must confess that I thought being a wedding planner was not near as difficult as I now know it is! And to think that my wife and I would have had to deal with all of the naturally occurring nuances inherent in a large wedding event ourselves if you were not there, what were we thinking! “A nice way to say PITA stuff!” Jennifer you are worth your weight in gold. Your knowledge, presence, professionalism and dedication to details made it possible for my wife and I to thoroughly enjoy our Daughter’s wedding and all the special guests that came from far and near in celebrating this most special occasion for my wife and I. From the Maggie Masters Invitational Golf Tournament, all the transportation needs, the Wedding itself and the After the Wedding Brunch you did the most incredible job. In so much as we have thoroughly enjoyed all of your professionalism we have decided to make you our one and only event planner. I cannot wait to work with you again because I know that the event will be so much fun and so incredibly memorable! We love you for what you did! Use me as a reference!!!!!

Jennifer Pearl and her staff at The Rare Affair are truly exceptional. As a day-of-coordinator, Jennifer reduced my stress levels in the few weeks before my wedding by visiting my venue with me, confirming all of my vendors and developing a wedding day time-line. On the day of my wedding, Jennifer was there to take care of last minute details and organize the general flow of the event. I was able to enjoy my day because I knew my event was in good hands. She even had a steamer on hand for wrinkles! My only regret is that I did not hire her for the whole evening! I cannot recommend Jennifer and her company highly enough. She was truly priceless.

Jennifer Pearl was my son and his fiancee wedding consultant and now my daughter wants to use her for her wedding next year after seeing the job Jennifer did for her brother and sister in law. She is organized, fun and made our weekend stress free! She went out of her way to make this a personal adventure for the bride and groom and the wedding party too! We had an absolute blast because we didnt worry about a thing. If we had any questions or problems, Jennifer handled them all. Thanks Jennifer for a wonderful wedding weekend. We were actually told that this was the best wedding people had ever been too!

The Rare Affair responded with the following comments:

Lauren! I loved every minute of the planning with you and your family! Everyone getting together and chatting for hours on the lawn watching the ocean - what could have been better? It truly was what a wedding is meant to be - being a part of that is my icing on the cake :) Can't wait to see what Taryn has in mind for her wedding!

There is no way I could've done the wedding of my dreams without the Rare Affair. It was amazing to have Jennifer Pearl to work with. She knew how to get me everythign I wanted for a great price. If I had to do it all over again, i woudl still use the Rare Affair. I have already recommended her to many others including my sister in law.

The Rare Affair responded with the following comments:

Bethie! It was so fun to work with you and Ryan from our "miserable" road trips in the beginning to seeing Ryan relaxing with a shave on his wedding day! It was so cool to see you all run around the manor like you owned the place! I am pleased you had a relaxing time and were able to enjoy some special moments with your families!

The Rare Affair really helped my husband and I pull all of our crazy ideas together into something reasonable to afford. We were paying for it ourselves and were on a tight budget. We had a very basic idea of what we wanted for a wedding and did not want it to be traditional at all. We wanted it to be more about the celebration with our friends and family. I tend to be a worry wart and The Rare Affair was always there to answer my questions and do tons of research for me. She even found a barber to come all the way from Boston to Gloucester to give my husband-to-be a surprise straight-razor shave that he has always wanted. She helped to deal with the small family problems that came up and dealt with my vendors wonderfully. She found us a great photographer for our budget and is now working on my sister-in-laws wedding. I highly recommend.
