I have spent the past almost two months trying to come up with the perfect way to describe my experience with Jen, but honestly, there are not enough words. When I met with Jen almost two years before my wedding date, I spoke with her on the phone from 800 miles away (I live in Chicago, IL). I'm originally from the Beaufort area, but had not lived there for several years. From the beginning, Jen was there every step of the way. Planning a wedding from 800 miles away and then during a pandemic was a bit mind-boggling, but Jen was an absolute angel and made the whole experience seamless. Her communication, design, resources, organizational, and problem solving skills are unmatched. We met via Zoom often, and she always answered all of my questions.

She also created the wedding of my dreams plus more. She took everything that was inside my head and put it on paper while staying within the realm of my budget. I seriously could not have planned my wedding without her.

Outside all of those things, Jen is one of the kindest, beautiful souls you will ever meet. All of my vendors, guests, and family members adored her. To this day, I still hear how wonderful Jen was at the wedding. If I could work with Jen again, I would--100%. Thank you, Jen, for being a part of my life and creating the most beautiful wedding for me.

I would like to start out by saying that finding a great wedding planner is so very important when planning a destination wedding! When my husband and I decided to get married in Hilton Head I reached out to Jen and it was one of the best decisions I made in the wedding planning process. It is so comforting knowing that you have someone working for you that knows the area and the local vendors so well.

I initially knew I loved Jens taste by her portfolio so throughout the process I felt very at ease with her recommendations. She helped me to book some of the most amazing vendors!!!! If you are starting to plan a wedding in the area be sure to contact Jen first, she can help you with so many little details right away that will later become so important! For instance, deciding on your venue is crucial and Jen has incredible knowledge about the area to help you find the venue that will reflect your style/vision. From there she does a wonderful job with guiding you through the steps you need to take and helping you to do things in the proper timeframe (timeframe is so very important - vendors get booked, etc).

I also want to mention how amazing our day of experience was. I am extremely detail oriented and Jen executed and oversaw every little detail perfectly!!! I can't describe how happy I was seeing all the aspects we had worked so hard on during the planning process come to life. Having her and her team there on our wedding day allowed me to relax. I felt as though she would make sure everything came together the way I had envisioned - and I was right! I am so THANKFUL we reached out to Jen all those months ago and will forever CHERISH our wedding planning process/wedding day experience!!! Know that if you decide to use Embellished Events you will be in the very best of hands.

Jen with Embellished Events was absolutely AMAZING! Jen's passion, professionalism, creativity, and amazing personality made our wedding planning so smooth and easy! She was on top of all tasks, to ensure they were completed on-time! As well as, gave us wide variety of creative, fun, and beautiful options that reflected our personality, and most importantly worked within our budget. I am horrible with making decisions and communicating what I dreamed my wedding would be. But helped and took all of our (crazy) ideas and turned it into a whimsical, elegant, beautiful wedding! :)

Also, beyond my husband and I working full-time, I unexpectedly injured my knee, which led to full knee surgery. With me being out of commission and unable to travel and drive. Jen went above and beyond to help with little tasks that I couldn't get to and made our wedding day was what I've always dreamed of!

I would 1,000% recommend Jen with Embellished Events. She turns your thoughts, ideas, and dreams into reality and most importantly, into a day you will never forget!

For those of you who don’t like long reviews I’ll cut to the chase – If you are looking for an organized, professional, creative and intelligent wedding planner then do yourself a favor and hire Jen Leiti before you do anything else wedding related.

For people looking for a little more detail here goes. My now husband and I live in New York City but both have an affinity for the Lowcountry. Given that dynamic we knew that we needed someone on the ground who knew the vendors and could help our vision come to life with lots of emails and phone calls. As silly as it sounds I initially approached Jen because I loved her website! I knew I wanted someone professional with good taste and my first reaction after seeing how she markets herself is that this is someone that like me, takes pride in the details. During our first phone conversation I knew that Jen was exactly who I wanted to go through this process with. She instantly made me feel more at ease and the way she approached discussing different wedding ideas really showcased what an expert she is – I trusted her to just run with a lot of things wedding related and am so glad that I did.

On the day of our wedding Jen and her team executed all aspects of the day perfectly. For example, we had an outdoor ceremony and right before I was supposed to walk down the aisle the sky opened up and it started pouring. Jen told everyone to quickly come inside and we would resume the ceremony following the rain delay. Jen quickly came to chat with me and let me know the storm would pass by and we’d start where we stopped. Given the trust I put in Jen through this process and the quality with which she had executed everything this far I knew that she would handle this and I didn’t have to worry at all. 20 mins and a couple champagnes later the skies cleared and we continued as planned! The entire night was perfect and I credit most of that to Jen!

Jen Leiti and Embellished Events are definitely top-notch! We are biased because we feel we had the most perfect wedding, but comments from our guests attest to her and her crew's amazing skills: "how did you plan such a beautiful wedding from afar?!," "when my daughter gets engaged can we call you to plan the wedding?," "This was hands-down the most stunning and fun wedding we have ever attended" (which means a lot coming from friends who are all married and are very wise ;) ).

Jen's sense of style, design, attention to detail, and flexibility were unable to be matched. She worked around our busy lives/work schedules over the past 14 months of wedding planning. Her extremely positive and fun personality made it very easy to communicate with her, made us enjoy talking to her, and made it very difficult not to become great friends with her! She is invested in you and your significant other. She listens to what YOU want and dream for YOUR big day and transforms that into reality... and in our case the wedding she helped us create exceeded anything we could have dreamed for.

The only request from the bride, groom, and wedding guests... "Can we do it all over again?!?". The honest truth is that if we could do it all over again, we would not change a darn thing!

To all of those future brides out there- If you are looking for an upscale wedding planner that you can 100% trust to help you plan the biggest day of your life, while keeping your vision and budget in mind, I would highly recommend Jen Leiti and Embellished Events without hesitation! I have no doubt that she can transform your dreams into reality and even exceed your expectations.

Much love to Jen Leiti and Embellished Events

Sincerely,
The Pittsburgh Newlyweds

Jen Leiti and team from Embellished Events made my wedding day glisten with beauty, harmony and joy! Jen was a dedicated support member for me... an out of town bride. She operated with professionalism and an anything is possible attitude. The vendors I worked with through Jen were each artist in their craft, accommodating and kind. She was avail for me anytime of day, and flexible when minds were changed! She made us feel comfortable and happy from the time we started working with her to the day of the wedding. She orchestrated the day down to the min with ease and calm...and was willing to help out in any way necessary to make the day the beautiful, love filled event we hoped for and received. I would recommend ANYONE work with Jen on their low country wedding!

Jen was amazing to work with!!!! She helped me find awesome vendors and answered every email right away! She took our vision and made it come to life :)

Great person to work with !!!!

We knew that planning a destination wedding would require someone with local experience and contacts to help us. The best decision we made was choosing Jen Leiti of Embellished Events. Her knowledge of the right vendors to use were absolutely spot-on and invaluable. We could never have achieved the look we wanted for the ceremony and reception without Jennifer helping us define our vision for the day and guiding us to the right people to execute that vision. Besides helping us choose vendors, she was absolutely superb in tactfully and diplomatically moving the process along - helping us make timely decisions and communicating with us throughout the planning process. Her wedding day support was invaluable as she coordinated the schedules for every minute of the celebration. She took so many of the details out of our hands that we didn't have to worry about a thing. Jennifer was an absolute life-saver and I couldn't recommend her more highly.

Jennifer and the Embellished Events staff were such a blessing! As Mother of the Bride for this destination wedding I can honestly say I don't know how we could have done it without them! Jennifer provided vendor resources and helped us with negotiations so we could stay on budget. When we arrived in Hilton Head the week of the wedding all we had to do was show up where and when Jennifer told us to on our timeline! Absolutely every detail was covered and the wedding went off without a hitch, at least that's how it seemed to us. Thank you for the perfect day Embellished Events!

Style, creativity, personality, and patience make-up Embellished Events wedding planning services. Jennifer Leiti, owner, and her team of assistants helped execute our ideas into the perfect wedding day! From the beginning, we could rely on Jen for her attentiveness and follow through with vendors and ideas. We appreciated Embellished Events organization and communication with the use of Planning Pod. We highly recommend Embellished Events for your wedding planning in the future. Excellent service and staff.
