Greatest Ever
Jena really took our special day and our vision and ran with it. Our wedding day turned out absolutely perfect because of A&J Event Planning and Coordination. Jena and her team really handled everything perfect, from the decorating, to helping guests know where to be, and keeping everything on track. Her team also helped us with our special ring bearer Boom (our goodest boy) by making sure he was taken care of. I always struggle with letting go of responsibilities (a bit of a control freak) but I felt no issue when it came wedding day to let Jena and her team handle everything.
You will not regret choosing A&J Event Planning and Coordination for any wedding planning or coordination services. They are an extremely dedicated and thoughtful company and they truly will do everything in their power to make your day as special as it should be. Jena and her team were the biggest help during all of the planning and execution of our vision and we truly could not have had such an amazing day without them. Seriously, if you are wanting wedding planning services- I could not recommend A&J Event Planning and Coordination enough!

"Hi I'm Renee. I've always loved creative things! The beauty of being able to take a blank canvas, add color and texture to it and seeing it come together is amazing! I grew up in church, so we ALWAYS had flowers and food-it was a guarantee. I would constantly play around with the flowes, so the ladies let me help them decorate for the holidays and events. I loved it! My grandma also had a lot of flowers around her house, so you could say that my love for flowers started very early in life."
Renee's favorite part of weddings is starting from a blank slate, making it pretty and seeing the couple's positive reaction to our work.
When Renee is not assisting at a wedding, creating florals or watching your fur babies, she is a full-time Firefighter/EMT and an auntie to a sweet little girl, Avery & two fur babies. She is also an avid hiker and sunset chaser.
