I write this review not as a bride but as a floral vendor. Perfection, Kind, Fun, Professional, The Total Package!

I was impressed with Jenny before I even met her. Her organization and thoroughness came across in her emails. When we arrived at the venue we fell in love with her ! The way she treated and spoke to everyone was just lovely!! We have never had so much fun and felt so good about a wedding. Everyone was laughing and just had the best day! Jenny set that tone. I can’t say enough.

Amazing experience

We used chose Before the Vows’ “Month Of” coordination package for our wedding and mom and I both agree it was THE BEST decision we could have made. We are both DIY kind of gals, but our venue required a wedding coordinator so we booked with Jenny. Very, very quickly we realized we would have been way out of our depth without her. Not only is Jenny extraordinarily kind, positive, and up beat, but she is extremely thorough and detail oriented. We had multiple meetings with her and her team leading up to the wedding, and each time we left feeling confident and encouraged. Jenny and her team always showed up early to meetings, were consistent with communication, and clear about instructions. It was a huge blessing to be able to hand over vendor communication, timeline planning, etc to them the month before the wedding. The wedding went so smoothly and Jenny and her team worked so hard— truly above and beyond—to make it so my family (mom in particular) truly just got to act as guests and enjoy the day. Jenny and her team are total professionals and we cherish the friendships we got to create with them during the wedding planning process.

The best and sweetest wedding coordinator!!

Cannot recommend enough!! Jennifer and her team at Before the Vows are incredible!! From the day my husband and I met Jennifer, we knew our wedding was in good hands! Jennifer and her team are all very personable and working with them felt like working with trusted friends. I loved the personalized timeline, text reminders, and quick responses I received to any questions or comments. Jennifer went above and beyond in helping us plan and execute our wedding and even connected me with a local vendor who created a beautiful display of champagne corks that my husband and I had collected throughout our relationship. Jennifer is a workhorse and she will do an amazing job at handling your event!!!

Before the Vows is a Bride’s Best Friend!

Jenny at Before the Vows was the most organized, detail-oriented vendor that I worked with for my wedding. Her upbeat, fun-loving and kind personality made it so easy and wonderful to work with her! She planned every last detail in advance, which was a saving grace for me since I’m the world’s biggest procrastinator. I didn’t have to worry about a thing working with Jenny. I HIGHLY recommend her to every bride looking for a coordinator for both the wedding day and all pre-wedding events!

Helpful, fast, and creative! Very good!

Jenny was super helpful and attentive through out the whole process of planning my proposal. She got in touch with all the vendors quickly and helped me decide on great decorations to make my proposal beautiful and memorable, and she had a great cheerful attitude through the whole thing. Couldn’t recommend her enough!

Bachelorette

I could not have asked for a better bachelorette weekend! As the Bride, I can say Jenny with Before the Vows went above and beyond to make sure the weekend was everything I hoped for! Jenny not only included me in conversation about what I imagined/preferred, she also teamed up with one of my best friends/bridesmaids to make sure I would have multiple surprises throughout the weekend! She put so much into the small details; from the cowgirl/western themed decor, the “Krista’s Last Ride” personalized cups and t-shirts, buttons with my face on it for all my bridesmaids to wear as we explored downtown Austin, to the daily itinerary she made and emailed out to everyone. Highly recommend using Before the Vows for any and all of your pre-wedding events!

Look no further than Before The Vows!

Do not look any further than Before the Vows to plan your pre-wedding events! As Maid of Honor, I was in charge of planning a bachelorette party in Nashville, TN. I was really struggling with ideas on themes and activities to do, so I reached out to Jenny for ideas on how to make this bach party special. Jenny immediately jumped in and coordinated the entire weekend and let me tell you, it was FLAWLESS. Jenny was on top of everything from theme to decor to shirts to activities. The weekend was completely seamless and exceeded all of our expectations. Jenny was able to make what could be a stressful planning situation into a wonderful experience and on top of that - the Bride said the weekend was more than she could have ever imagined! Jenny is a freaking LIFESAVER and I HIGHLY recommend Before the Vows for all of your events!

Would highly recommend “before the vows” services!

Jenny is amazing. She helped my maid of honor plan my entire bachelorette weekend in Nashville and it was perfect. She helped organize events and make reservations, making it a stress free weekend for us all. She was easy to work with and to get in touch with when there were questions. We were able to just enjoy being tourists in our own city, thanks to her! I would highly recommend her for any pre-wedding event planning!
