We hired Dos Goats about a year and a half ahead of our wedding and hired them for the day-of package. Adam, Christina, and Jory were all wonderful partners throughout our planning process and during the day-of. Perhaps the best value was Dos Goats' rental items -- we used their lanterns, candles, arches, and I think more? They made up a lot of our decor, and their options are always growing! The planning spreadsheets that they provide are very helpful, though they are a little daunting if you aren't mentally prepared. Some are a little redundant, but they are still a useful framework. Highly recommend their services, and we're grateful to have had them in our corner.

Lydia was fantastic to work with and helped make our wedding day perfect. She was always prompt replying to any questions we had leading up to the wedding. We decided to do a la carte florals and she set up the bud vases, centerpieces, votives, table numbers and place cards perfectly on the day of. She also helped us create a day of timeline and made sure we stuck to it throughout the day. Lydia also reached out to all of our vendors the week of the wedding to make sure everything ran as smoothly as possible. I greatly appreciated her guidance and adaptability.

Ashley was nothing short of AMAZING to work with. Due to COVID, we delayed our wedding a few times, and Ashley was so flexible, helpful, knowledgeable and encouraging throughout the process. We ended up completely changing our original plans and doing a small destination wedding in Vail, CO. Ashley created the most beautiful and memorable weekend for us. She truly is so talented and creative and everyone attending the wedding was simply blow away by the details and heart poured into the day. You will NOT be disappointed working with Ashley and her team - they are one of a kind! Thank you so much for creating us the most magical wedding weekend!

First, there is a true and very present reason why Jenna Culley Events has a 98% 5-star rating: they genuinely care about you and your event. JCE puts you first—always—and if something isn’t right, they will make it exactly the way you want it. They are with you every step of the way, through thick and thin. My team of planners started with me when I had almost no concrete ideas and stayed with me all the way to the last song…and even getting wine out of my wedding dress. They are a full-service team who quickly begin to feel like family. Communication is quick, kind, and incredibly helpful. You can tell that the entire JCE team wants everything to be exactly as it should be. During wedding week, my planner, Sara, and I were completely ready to rock and roll, and on the day-of she had every single detail handled. My only job was to be the bride, and Sara and her team took care of everything in sight—right down to having a drink ready for me the moment I walked in. They checked in not only on me, but also on my husband, my bridal party, my family, and even our other vendors. They truly are a super-team, and they made the day absolutely wonderful. I honestly wanted to take them all home with me! There are not enough words to describe how phenomenal the JCE team is. If you are looking for a wedding planner who will make your day stress-free, fun, seamless, and filled with support—as well as someone who becomes your personal cheerleader—this is the team you’re looking for. You will not regret it.

I had the pleasure of working with Lindsay and her team for a four-day Indian/Jewish wedding at Live! by Loews – Arlington, TX in Arlington, Texas. This was a high-end event and, as with any wedding, not everything went exactly to plan — yet Lindsay’s team handled everything in an impressive way. Their professionalism, responsiveness and ability to adapt made the experience seamless and truly elevated the day. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a planner who brings both grace and precision to every moment!

In the beginning, I only wanted Jess to be my day of coordinator but my mom talked me into the partial planning. Let me tell you... I was so relieved I was convinced to do so. You never realize how much actually goes into wedding planning. Jess alleviated all of my stress and she kept me on track over the 10 months of planning. We'd hop on planning calls and she would ask how I was and I would just have this deer in the headlights look on my face that screamed "NO!" lol By the end of the call, she'd follow up and ask the same question and I would feel so much better. This ain't her first rodeo... clearly... so I was so blessed to have her help. She was so on top of it. Even the day of, I wasn't asked a bunch of questions of where things go, etc.. It was just handled and executed beautifully! Thanks Jess!!! XO

We worked with Hailey and Essen for our September wedding and cannot recommend them enough! Hailey's creativity when it came to florals and decor resulted in a wedding that was more beautiful than we could have imagined! We were indecisive about colors and Hailey was not only patient but also enthusiastic when we would come to her with a new idea. She was also amazingly organized and communicative on the coordination side. It was so great to have her handling all the details for the last few weeks and on the day of so we could truly enjoy the special day! Thanks Hailey!!

I, myself, am a day-of wedding coordinator, and I had the honor to work with Morgan during a wedding at the venue I work for. I have had the opportunity to work with many different coordinators, but Morgan is by far my favorite. She is sweet, knowledgeable, and understanding. For me, it truly was a pleasure to work along side her! She treated me as a colleague and a friend, even though we only worked one rehearsal and the corresponding wedding together. I have a feeling she treats every vendor she works with with the upmost respect and kindness. As someone who works with a lot of different vendors, I can honestly say Morgan is one of my favorites. I have never written a review for a vendor I've worked with before- that's how much I truly liked Morgan. She was fantastic to work with on my end, so I can only imagine how wonderful she is to/for her couples. You seriously could not go wrong hiring Morgan to be your wedding coordinator/ go-to person. She really knows what she's doing, and she truly cares about each and every detail and aspect of a person's wedding.

I was originally introduced to Mani Mela years ago when I was a bridesmaid in a friend’s wedding. They did such impressive work that TWO of my other friends hired them for their weddings and then of course, I had to do the same for mine ☺ I got married at Windows on Minnesota (50th floor of the IDS Center downtown Minneapolis). On the day of my wedding, Mani Mela arrived to my bridal suite in the Marquette Hotel on time, with all of the necessary tools and as an added bonus – they were so sweet and fun. This team provided the best wedding makeup and hair experience a bride could ever ask for. They met with me several times to ensure my expectations were fulfilled prior to the big day. Bottom line: I couldn’t have been happier with Mani Mela because they made me feel like a model, my bridesmaids were stunning and both my mom + my now-mother-in-law were drop dead gorgeous. The best part of this team is they truly do listen to what you want and provide top-notch results. I would HIGHLY recommend this team to anyone and wish I could do it all over again because it was so amazing.

Our wedding was perfect! We chose Marisa and I Do Events to be our wedding planner. My husband and I wanted someone who would listen to our vision for the wedding, and deliver that vision. It was also important for us to have someone loving and accepting of the LGBTQ community. Marisa exceeded our expectations. We had about 120 guests at the wedding. Marisa met with us numerous times during the planning process. She walked us through the process step-by-step, created a detailed cost estimate, and went over each line item on the cost estimate with us so we understood it. She made herself available any time we had questions (or my husband and I changed something, which happened several times). She was extremely professional, flexible, patient, and understood your wedding day is one of the best days of your life, and she and her staff worked hard to deliver high quality results, attention to detail, and magical moments. Prior to hiring Marisa, we researched the costs to deliver the type of wedding we wanted, including the venue, servers and catering for 120 people, flowers and decorations, photographer, videographer, bartender (see comments below), and a DJ. Then we hired Marisa. Marisa came in way under budget, several thousands under budget. Marisa has a large network of contacts and we were able to save money by using her contacts. Marisa also owns a lot of wedding assets and she made them available to us for use. We were able to use many of hers, which also helped save us money. My husband and I originally hired a bartender for the reception before we hired Marisa. That bartender canceled on us 5 days before the wedding. Marisa not only got us a replacement bartender, she got us 2 of them for the reception. If you are thinking about getting married, I highly recommend Marisa and I Do Events. She is professional, organized, and can be trusted to help make your wedding day full of happiness without any of the stress. You won’t be disappointed.
