Blue Moon Events is the absolute tops from pre-wedding to day-of! Would rate them a 20/10 if I could!!
Jenny is a dream. She answered all of our questions leading up to the event, and on the day of our wedding, I don't know how we would have survived without her and her husband. It's incredible to have two planners on the day of, because she was able to be at the venue making our vision a reality and coordinating all of the other vendors, while her husband was with us during photos, keeping us on track and making sure the day ran smoothly.
Also, my grandfather fell on the dance floor (he is okay!) but they drove him to the best hospital around so that he could save money and to make sure he got the best treatment — incredible!
Beyond that incredible example of their talents, what sets Jenny apart from other wedding day-of coordinators is her attitude. She takes charge when you need it, is chill when you need it, and keeps everything calm and flowing. She makes the day stress free, which is all you really want! Choose Blue Moon and enjoy your wedding planning process, and rest assured that you're truly in the best of hands!

We absolutely loved working with Jenny throughout the planning process. We hired her as a day-of coordinator, but she was helpful well before the wedding day. She was very generous with her time and always willing to get on calls with us whenever we needed guidance.

Jenny was incredibly organized and helped ensure everything stayed on schedule, while still making sure my husband and I felt relaxed and never rushed. On top of that, she was such a fun and positive presence throughout the entire process. We’re so grateful for her support and would absolutely recommend her.

My wedding was absolutely incredible and stress free all thanks to Jenny at Blue Moon Events! From start to finish, working with Jenny was an absolute dream. She understood my vision and was not only down to execute but added the right touches to make everything better than I could have ever imagined. Jenny and her team were so fun to work with, detail oriented, trustworthy, band clearly loves love!!! I am FOREVER grateful to Blue Moon Events and would choose Jenny over and over!

Jenny and her team are AMAZING and worth every cent and more. She stayed with us through the process and answered any and every stupid question we had without judgement or hesitation. She has an excellent grasp of timeline and so even as our day-of coordinator, she kept us on track throughout the entire planning process. The wedding day was also incredibly smooth with a perfect emergency kit. As the type of people who always feel like a burden, we were nervous about asking for things or making last-minute adjustments. Jenny and her team were with us the whole way and never made us feel like what we asked for was unreasonable. HIGHLY recommend!!

Hiring Jenny MacBeard & Blue Moon Events was hands down the best decision we made for our entire wedding!

We literally cannot say enough wonderful things about Jenny, Jeff, and Blue Moon Events. From the moment we brought Blue Moon Events on (right after booking our venue, about 18 months out), Jenny became an invaluable partner in bringing our wedding to life.

Her coordinator package was absolutely perfect for us. We still got to be hands-on with the planning, but having her as a consultant throughout the process gave me such confidence that we were on the right track. She truly listened to our vision, kept our budget top of mind, and consistently offered recommendations at various price points. Thanks to her guidance, we found incredible vendors, especially our caterer and photographer, that we never would have discovered on our own. And Jenny is so beloved that many of them even offered us special discounts knowing that any event handled by her would be a breeze!

In the 4-6 weeks leading up to the wedding, Jenny seamlessly stepped in to handle all vendor communications and management, which took so much stress off our plates. On the day itself, both Jenny and her husband Jeff were absolute rockstars, making sure every single detail we'd asked for was executed perfectly. Between the two of them, we all felt completely taken care of throughout the entire day, and our wedding party knew that if they needed anything, Jenny or Jeff would have it!

When small mishaps came up (like my bustle breaking or family members arriving late), Jenny kept everything calm and handled it effortlessly. She also took the time to thoughtfully arrange all our personal details in ways that made the whole space come together beautifully.

Beyond her incredible organizational skills and professionalism, Jenny is simply the loveliest person in the world and an absolute joy to work with. We've joked that we need to throw another event just to keep her in our lives!

If you're getting married, hire Jenny. You won't regret it.

Jenny (and Jeff!) of Blue Moon Events are a key reason our wedding will forever be one of the most meaningful and memorable nights of our lives. Jenny took the time to understand us and our vision for our wedding and was incredibly patient with helping us build the day from the ground up. She has incredible taste that money cannot buy and is an absolute professional from the top down. We opted for day-of coordination, so we handled a lot of contracting on our end, but we ended up with the entirety of our vendor team from the list of her recommendations. We leaned heavily on DIY for much of our decor, and Jenny & Jeff were pro’s in making our vision a gorgeous reality. Ultimately, she knows how to ‘wedding’ more than anyone I could imagine. After spending over a year planning the wedding, I thought to myself - how wild could it REALLY be. I was skeptical about how much it would impact me day-of - and how much it would stay with me after. In the end, however, it was truly a surreal, unreplicable experience. So trust me, you’ll want her on your team.

Jenny from Blue Moon Events was hands down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Although we hired her for a day-of coordination package, the support she gave us in the months leading up to the big day was absolutely invaluable. Her regular check-ins kept us on track, she helped us stay organized, and she personally recommended nearly all of our amazing vendors. She also constantly made sure we were doing okay and offered help wherever she could. She truly went above and beyond.

When the wedding day arrived, Jenny and her husband Jeff took over and everything went off without a hitch. We didn’t have to stress about a single thing, which meant the world to my wife and me. We were able to be fully present and enjoy every moment thanks to them. I would recommend her to absolutely everyone. She is a total pro and an absolute joy to work with. 1000% worth it

Working with Jenny at Blue Moon Events was the best decision we made! Jenny was so helpful for us in planning our daughter's wedding. She is professional, organized, calm, kind and really listened and guided us along with our daughter and son-in-law in planning a beautiful wedding. She and her husband, Jeff, were there on the day of the wedding to organize, coordinate and make sure that everything went smoothly. I would highly recommend using Jenny as your wedding coordinator!

This is long overdue, but I want to share how eternally grateful we are to have partnered with Jenny at Blue Moon Events for our wedding this September. We would happily recommend her to every single couple getting married in the Chicago area. We not only got impeccable advice and structure to ensure our wedding went off without a hitch, but we truly had so much fun in the planning process with Jenny’s kind and infectious energy. We knew we picked a winner when we were having so much fun laughing on the first Zoom call that it ran way over – a trend that continued throughout the next six months.

Jenny went above and beyond to make sure that our wedding was truly what we wanted, even when we weren’t always sure what that was. Jenny was able to provide guidance on all the ins and outs we weren’t thinking about and keep us on schedule with the important dates & decisions. Much more importantly, after getting to know us and our vibe, she was able to offer suggestions that were tailored to us when we were stuck on decisions. When we weren’t sure what we wanted to do for photos as we weren’t doing a full wedding party, her suggestion of bopping around to our favorite spots around our neighborhood was one of the most memorable highlights of our day.

Grateful doesn’t even begin to describe how we feel to have partnered with Blue Moon Events throughout the planning process, and we hope that everyone getting married can have the same experience we did.

Okay, if you read nothing else, read this: I am a therapist, and hiring Jenny and Jeff at Blue Moon was the NO.1 best money spent for me and my husband’s mental health. Period. Want to hire the BEST version of your best friend or family family member who makes you feel like you’re the only client in the world? HIRE THEM!!! (Okay, but now read the rest of this review too!!)

From the moment we met, they were so friendly and warm, making us feel at ease during the stressful wedding planning process. We knew they cared about actually delivering a wedding that was OUR wedding from the first 5 minutes of the meeting, with the way they asked for details about our vibes, our love, our goals, and our aesthetic. Everyone who attended our wedding said how it felt exactly like us, and how every detail was warm and thoughtful and not cookie-cutter at all -- and this was exactly what we wanted.

Jenny was our lead coordinator, and she made herself available for zoom sessions, emails, and texts long before the actual wedding. We now consider Jenny a good friend and are inviting her to our Top Chef bracket next season -- seriously. Jeff was a dream as well. I (the bride) first met Jeff the day of the wedding when he came to pick me and the girls up to go meet the bros for photos, and he felt like an instant family member. He carried all our stuff, kept us on schedule, kept us hydrated, and allowed us to all be 100% “passenger princesses” the entire day, so we actually enjoyed ourself. He absorbed any stress we would have had about being on time for everything -- so thank you Jeff!

They were genuinely fundamental to the success of our wedding, and our mental health staying in tact. They helped us stay calm, and kept everything moving in the right direction behind the scenes so we never had to worry about a thing. They suggested vendors all along the planning process, and they even stayed late to pack up the wedding decor, and delivered it themselves to our apartment THAT NIGHT. Full service doesn’t even begin to cover it!!

Best money we spent on our entire wedding, as they genuinely made ALL our money spent and all our vendors chosen feel so perfect for us, for our budget, and for the best day of our lives. Jenny and Jeff, you are legends and we can’t wait to have you in our Top Chef bracket next season!!!
