Best day EVER

Jennifer made our “hallmark” fairytale wedding the most perfect day ever!! From all of the answered questions to making us feel like family, she helped make our day everything we dreamed of. She is very detail oriented and is a wonderful communicator with other vendors and the bride and groom. We couldn’t have asked for a better coordinator on the biggest day of our lives! Everything turned out AMAZING!!

Best Coordinator / Florist EVER

We couldn’t recommend Jennifer enough!
She was the absolute BEST & I seriously don’t think I could have done the wedding day without her guidance. She was there for us from step 1. She was so organized, reliable, and took our vision and made it come to life. She took care of everything and our day was seriously perfect thanks to her and her team. I can’t even put into words how grateful we are for Jennifer! She also did an amazing job with our florals, they were perfect! Would recommend to anyone going through their wedding process to use Jennifer and trust her because she will not disappoint!!! We appreciate you, Jennifer!

Incredible Long-Distance Wedding Planning Experience!

Jennifer, Brittany, Diane, and Kristina were so incredible to work with for our wedding weekend! My husband, Joe, and I planned our wedding in California from North Carolina. While I had been to the area years ago, Joe had never been. We relied HEAVILY on the An Occasion Events team to help us find trustworthy vendors, provide our BEAUTIFUL flowers, and plan our weekend. I know without a doubt that our wedding weekend would not have been a success without their professional team! The team went above and beyond to Facetime us during the planning process at our reception locations so we could get a better feel for what to expect the day of. Kristina went out of her way to make a trip to our ceremony location so she could take pictures there and give us an idea of how people would need to stand for the ceremony. We were impressed with the planning process but it was the day of coordination that blew us away. Having such a great team made our day easy! We were able to spend time with our friends and family while the An Occasion Events team handled the logistics. We had a 10/10 experience with the An Occasion Team and would highly recommend working with them!

Couldn't have done it without Jennifer!

Jennifer is an amazing wedding planner and coordinator, as well as florist. My husband and I hired her to for pre-planning, day of assistance and florals, and we truly could not have done it all without her. We were originally supposed to be married in June 2020 but for obvious reasons had to postpone. She helped us deal with both the practical and emotional toll and moved us towards a successful and gorgeous mini-wedding later that year. We then moved on to planning our full wedding for August of 2021 and when the day finally came, so many outside forces could have thrown the day into chaos (a fire and evacuations in the area the day before, 105 degree heat, looming COVID spikes) and yet again, Jennifer and her team pulled together a truly spectacular day.

A few touches that really stick out for us:
- She incorporated hops into my husband's boutonniere, which was so unique and special
- The vibe of the reception matched exactly with the vision that we had, with light blues, coppers and golds woven throughout
- The team created a short video of the day which was such a wonderful surprise

I'd recommend Jennifer to anyone for their wedding!

Amazing & a must!

Jennifer and her team at An Occasion Events went above and beyond any of our expectations! Jennifer was always so responsive and there to help you with anything and everything. My husband and I were not sure we needed a wedding planner but SOOO happy we hired her to help with planning and day of services! She is a definite MUST! She did a great job with so many things where do we start....
An Occation Events & Jennifer did all this and so much more:
-getting our vendors all together and making sure everyone was organized before and day of without a hiccup
-keeping the day on track and making it so we didn't have to worry about forgetting to do something (great just to enjoy the day)
-Fixed my dress when it needed pinning up
-made me fantasy dream wedding come true!
Thank you so much An Occasion Events... words can't describe how much we appreciate your services!!

So Easy, Stress-Free, and Gorgeous!

Jennifer, Kristina, and crew made my wedding picture perfect and a breeze from start to finish. Everyone talks about how stressful wedding planning is, but An Occasion took all the stress away. They considered all the details, took care of all the set-up and clean-up, so we didn't have to do a thing the day of. Additionally, everyone was so warm, personable, and communicative. Jennifer also took care of the flowers which were absolutely beautiful and got constant praise from everyone. She even went out of her way to find daffodils, my grandfather's favorite flower, for his table setting since he had passed away unexpectedly just a few months before the wedding. I couldn't have planned my wedding without An Occasion, and I'm beyond grateful for everything they did.

Highly recommend

We cannot imagine what our wedding weekend would have looked like if we had not hired Jennifer. Despite the challenges of 2020, Jennifer never wavered in her support and encouragement to us as we faced many difficult decisions. She strikes a perfect balance between providing guidance and listening to what matters to her clients.

Not only was she a rock for us in an ever changing environment, we enjoyed working with her on a creative level—designing beautiful flower arrangements, layouts, schedules, providing and recommending rentals that fit our particular styles, and vendors.

Jennifer is an experienced planner and does whatever it takes to get things done. On top of that, she cares and we felt a special bond with her throughout the process. We think anyone who gets to work with her is lucky and are so grateful for her and her talented team.

Jennifer Was A LifeSaver!!!

I can’t express how much Jennifer meant to me throughout the entire wedding process. I’m a pretty organized person so I didn’t think I needed a wedding planner, but when you throw a pandemic into the wedding process, I can’t tell you how helpful it is to have a person like Jennifer by your side. I’ve had the pleasure of working with her for a year while planning my wedding. She is very direct and to the point, which I actually appreciated because there were times where I couldn’t make a decision and she knew me well enough to know what I would want. Also, there were so many rules and last minute restrictions due to the pandemic, but Jennifer had everything handled. I would text her late at night or during the weekend because I would have last minute panic attacks about something and she would answer me promptly and resolve the matter, no matter what the problem was. She truly is a professional and I can’t recommend her enough as a wedding planner.

What a RELIEF!! A Wedding Coordinator is a must!! Thank you An Occasion Events!

I CANNOT imagine what we would’ve done without Jennifer and her staffs’ services! She made our wedding an absolute dream and SERIOUSLY took a lot of stress off our shoulders, for example, waking up the next morning as newlyweds to find out that Jennifer and her team have already packed up and cleaned the reception hall-taking care of all rental clean ups/returns! She made everything feel like a breeze, not to mention walking into our reception to see all of the beautiful decor I had envisioned all put together and beautiful! She takes care of ALL behind the scenes, organized EVERYTHING from vendors to guests to timelines...everything! Like I said I don’t know what we would’ve done without her, my husband and I were able to just ENJOY♥️ Thank you Jennifer from the bottom of our hearts!!

Above and beyond...

Jennifer and her team worked above and beyond with us from the beginning of our wedding planning. The flowers she provided we're gorgeous and she included personal affects among her designs. Would highly recommend her for anyone needing florals for their special event!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
