I was a little on the fence about spending the $$ on a ‘day of coordinator’ but boy am I glad I did, and even more glad I hired Jamie to do it!! Even though I wasn’t her highest paying customer and only purchased her day of package, she was ALWAYS there when I had a question or needed help with anything! She would sent me monthly reminder emails of things I should be getting done that month and those were extremely helpful. The day of the wedding though, she was AMAZING. Her and her husband really kept everything on point all day. I did not have to worry about a single thing and it was so nice! To top it off, at the end of the night, they had all the decorations put in the barn for me, and all the tables and chairs were broken down before they left. If anyone else is thinking about hiring a coordinator, I would HIGHLY recommend Jamie!!

I have known Jamie for many years now, so when I got engaged, I called her immediately! I had day-of coordination but she regularly checked in throughout my 12 month engagement, making sure I felt supported throughout the planning process. The day-of, she truly made my vision come to life, and her calm demeanor let our families truly enjoy themselves. She was even right there when my bustle broke, helping me fix it so that I could get back to the dancing! I can't imagine our wedding without her and her team and I couldn't be more grateful for her work!

Jaime and her team were incredibly useful! We used CJN as sort of a "month of" coordinator, and it was well worth every penny. Every little detail came together better than we could have ever imagined. She went above and beyond doing everything that was asked of her - she even put my cake together and decorated it (and did an amazing job). I felt completely at ease during the entire wedding because I was able to fully trust that Jaime would take care of all the details. If you want a stress-free wedding, I sincerely recommend CJN Event Planning!

We used Jamie and her team at CJN for day-of wedding coordination for our Central Coast wedding, which we planned from NYC. Our wedding day was stress free, beautiful and everything we hoped it would be! Jamie was beyond helpful as we planned our big day from across the country--from advice on vendors, check in's to make sure planning was going smoothly, to seamless execution of all the little details we had planned out on the wedding day, Jamie and her husband Chris at Cork Mobile made sure everything went off without a glitch. We would highly recommend Jamie and CJN for wedding planning and day of coordination on the Central Coast, she is super easy to work with, responsive and calmly helps to make your wedding day perfection!

Hiring Jamie Neutill as our wedding coordinator was easily the best decision we made for our wedding. Being an out-of-town bride, I wanted to work with a professional in the Central Coast who was familiar with the area and had experience with the local vendors. Jamie was mindful of our budget and made great recommendations on which vendors to work. She even handled all the scheduling and made appointments on our behalf when we visited from out of town. Communication with Jamie was very easy; I was able to call, text or email her and she was always responsive to all our questions and ideas. We definitely felt we were in good hands having her as our coordinator!

Come wedding day, Jamie was calm, organized, and very much on top of things. She was in communication with us, our family members, and all vendors and made sure everything was moving along according to schedule. Due to cold temps in the evening, my husband and I made a last minute decision to move the dancing inside the venue and Jamie was quick on her feet to move the DJ, lighting and dance floor indoors without a hitch! We truly appreciated her flexibility and quick thinking in this situation. Even some of our family members who met Jamie were impressed with her professionalism.

Our wedding at Spanish Oaks Ranch was perfect and seamlessly executed by Jamie and her staff. Thank you Jamie for all of your hard work! You made our wedding planning process easy and stress-free and you made our wedding day unforgettable!

Jaime was our day-of coordinator, but her suggestions throughout the whole planning process pointed us in the direction of outstanding vendors and a perfect wedding/reception. She is an absolute professional, and dealt with our unfortunate procrastination issues without any trouble. Her experience showed in all of our interactions, and she understood when we needed some help with the planning. E.g. our shuttle buses. Almost all of our guests were from out of town. When she recognized our original plan for transporting guests to the wedding was burdensome, she quickly took it upon herself to contact the shuttle company and fix the issue. Within 2 days we were much better off, and all we had to do was send a few emails. This is how she treated everything, including the day-of coordination, decorations, family overexcitement, and vendor coordination. Throughout it all, she kept a cool demeanor that made us both feel relaxed. We highly recommend Jaime, and wish her all the best with CJN.

Jamie provided day-of-coordination services for our recent wedding at Santa Margarita Ranch. We could not be happier with the quality of service, responsiveness, and professionalism of her and her team. We brought Jamie on once our wedding was pretty much already planned and wondered if a day-of-coordinator would really be worth the money since we had such a tight budget. Boy, were we pleased with the outcome!! From the moment she started with us, we just knew we made the right decision. When we met up with her at the venue the first time, she offered all kinds of questions and details that we would have no way of thinking about. Same with the rehearsal. Every question, issue, and anxiety we had was addressed promptly and calmly from start to finish. Her energy is so even-keeled, calm, and confident that you just immediately feel like things will be taken care of if anything goes awry, and when they inevitably did for one reason or another, Jamie was there to sort it out.

A few examples of her work: Rain was suddenly being forecasted, and we retooled the entire ceremony in the final days to make it work perfectly. A bridesmaid's dress burst open in the back, and Jamie came right over with the sewing kit so we could fix it while we were getting ready. Our photographer went MIA and became totally incommunicado a few weeks before the wedding. We weren't even sure the photographer was going to show up, and Jamie chased her down to take care of it and put our minds at ease. When the men's boutonnieres were looking wilted and the ribbons we used were fraying, Jamie took the time to fix them so that everyone looked their best. There were so many things behind the scenes that she did to make our wedding flow and allow us to enjoy our day.

Hiring CJN Event Planning was the best decision we made throughout this process. Highly recommend!!

After interviewing several wedding planners, we moved forward with Jamie at CJN and we couldn’t have been happier with our decision. We got married last July 4th at Santa Margarita Ranch in the Central Coast with a guest list of around 160. We were very pleased with Jamie’s knowledge of the area and local vendors, especially as we live in Los Angeles. She was always extremely professional and very prompt to respond to all of our inquiries. Jamie assisted with us from the beginning of our planning process and was more than happy to discuss every detail of wedding (which there were more than we could have imagined). Our wedding day went very smoothly, which was amazing because we just sat back and enjoyed the day. We would certainly recommend Jamie to anyone planning a wedding in the Central Coast.

If you're looking for a no stress wedding day, I'd go with CJN! Jamie was beyond helpful in gathering a lot of our DIY decorations and making the day come together seamlessly. From making sure that everyone in our bridal party was taken care of to making sure the guests and events were moving along on time - she's a true PRO!

Wonderful!! Need I say more? Jamie, you and your crews are incredible. I am so glad to have finally had a few events with you on property. You make each event your own, your team knows exactly where to help and your couples (especially Brides and Mother's of) have nothing to worry about in the final days and on that special day. Looking forward to many more events with the CJN team!

Jamie is one of the most organized and easy going planners on the Central Coast. She and her team are professional and personal at the same time. A plus for any photographer working at any event.

I have worked with CJN Event planning a couple of times and I was impressed by their level of experience and calm, friendly attitude. They seem very confident in their process and have everything handled without loosing their cool. It makes such a difference for everyone when couple's invest in a professional to set up their day and take care of all the details and management. I would love to recommend CJN to anyone looking for fabulous help with their wedding day and a team that really knows their stuff!!
