Simply fantastic

If you are looking for a wedding planner who is well-organized, an excellent communicator, and truly cares about making your special day everything you dream of and more, then look no further than Altar Ego. We recently had the pleasure of working with Jen for our wedding, and we cannot recommend her highly enough.

From the very first consultation, Jen took the time to get to know us and understand our vision for our big day. She was attentive, responsive, and always available to answer any questions or concerns we had. Throughout the planning process, she was extremely organized and detail-oriented, ensuring that no stone was left unturned and that everything was running smoothly.

What really stood out to us, however, was Jen's communication skills. She was always clear and concise in her instructions and kept us up-to-date on every aspect of the planning process. She also took the time to listen to our ideas and concerns and provided valuable feedback and advice, making us feel confident and at ease every step of the way.

On the day of our wedding, everything was absolutely perfect. Jen and her team worked tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure that everything ran like clockwork, leaving us free to enjoy the day with our loved ones. The attention to detail was impeccable, and every little touch was just as we had imagined it. We got such incredible feedback from our guests about just how seamless the entire weekend felt.

In short, Jen is an exceptional wedding planner who truly goes above and beyond for her clients. If you are looking for someone who is organized, communicative, and passionate about making your wedding day the best it can be, then we cannot recommend her enough. Thank you, Jen, for making our wedding day the happiest day of our lives!

I have to start by saying that I am a very organized and detailed oriented person so finding the perfect wedding planner was going to be a difficult task. I met with at least 20 wedding planners before I met Jen, and after I met her I knew she was it! She is so down to Earth and professional and just makes you feel at ease. During the whole process, she would respond to any of my many emails or text messages promptly and go out of her way to make sure I was okay with everything. She was also excellent in communicating with all my vendors and making sure that everything was in order so I wouldn't have to worry about a thing. On wedding day, Jen and her assistant were fabulous! Everything was perfect and ran flawlessly! And if there was anything that was wrong, I had no idea because they took care of everything! I had so many worries and concerns that my vision would not come out the way I wanted, but with Jen on my side, I knew I had nothing to worry about. If you want your dream happen to go on without a hitch, then there is no other choice than Altar Ego Weddings!

Jennifer was amazing. It was so comforting to know she was on top of everything - from scheduling to confirming with vendors. My father even mentioned how in-control she was of the whole event, and how she kept all of the "crazy" away from the family so we could enjoy the day.

We LOVE LOVE LOVE her!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

I had the distinct pleasure of being the DJ at an Altar Ego Wedding. Bar none, this is the most organized, talented and friendly team of planners I have worked with. Every step of the planning process was stress free. The bride who self-identified as "picky", was all smiles at the end of the night. I look forward to working with them again. Brides...you can't go wrong putting your wedding in the hands of Altar Ego.
