Stress Free Wedding Thanks To Jackie!

Jackie and Kelsey are a godsend! I’ve been in the event industry for 8 years and was dreading the day of set up. My inner planner had thought of every little detailed and was stressing about the execution of everything. Thanks to Jackie and Kelsey, I was able to kick back and truly enjoy our special day. The dream team duo made sure that everything was just the way we had envisioned and ensured that our big day went off without a hitch.
Not only did Jackie assist with the day of coordination / setup, she also was my rock through covid. As many couples, we had to postpone our wedding twice. Jackie was always there by our side to help make the decision. Thanks to her support we were able to still have our dream wedding. Thank you so much Jackie!

A wonderful management team and perfect day!

We could not have asked for a better day of management team for our wedding than Jackie and her assistant Kellsey. From the very first phone call Jackie was a wealth of knowledge and resources, as well as a calming presence in the ever stressful world of wedding planning! She is kind and thoughtful and always prompt in answering any and all random questions that can come up throughout the planning process. We knew we made the right call in hiring Jackie when we would tell our other vendors who we were working with and every single one responded with “oh, you’re working with Jackie? She’s the BEST”. Once our wedding weekend arrived, Jackie went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of and the wedding weekend ran smoothly. From assisting at our rehearsal dinner to little décor details to evening timeline to guest mishaps Jackie was on it, and her presence truly allowed us to be fully present in each moment of our day. We are so grateful to have had Jackie and her team to help make our wedding so magical, and we can’t recommend her enough!

A perfect weekend, thanks to Jackie

Jackie came highly recommended by a co-worker, and we're thrilled that we were able to work with her. Jackie and her team are so knowledgeable, professional, and attentive, and they worked so hard to make the whole event run smoothly. From suggesting amazing vendors to giving great advice on key decisions, knowing Jackie was on our side kept the whole process manageable and not at all stressful.

Incredible Management

We were excited to plan our wedding together as an engaged couple - and we were not sure at first that we needed to hire anyone to help. We’re so glad we are that friends and family helped us see the error of our ways and recommended that we hire a coordinator, and we’re even more grateful that we hired Jackie.

The Montague Retreat Center (our venue) recommended Jackie to us. She was organized, quick to answer questions (either from us or from the anxious MOB) and always cheerful. Her coordinating package was not just the day of, but included spreadsheets to help us organize ourselves months in advance, a walk-through at the venue 30 days out, and check-ins with us and our vendors to make sure that every detail was set. She just made everything so easy!

Jackie also seemed to understand exactly what kind of wedding and experience we were looking for, and she was able to recommend great food for breakfast, a makeup artist and a wonderful DJ company for us. We wanted our wedding to feel local, and Jackie’s intimate knowledge of the Pioneer Valley was crucial. She was also just a delight to work with -- an important thing for someone that you’re hiring to be with you for your entire wedding day!

Jackie was there for our planning meeting with the venue Thursday, the rehearsal on Friday with her great assistant, Kelsey, and the two of them worked together all day on Saturday. It was so good to know there was someone who could answer our guests questions and make sure everything was running smoothly.

It was such a relief to know that, even as we’re putting on our suit and dress and dealing with the butterflies in our stomachs, everything was being taken care of by someone that we trusted. In the end, maybe (and that’s a big maybe) we could have done the whole thing all on our own, but wouldn’t have been the easy, organized and wonderful wedding that it was without Jackie.

Best planner around!

Jackie, and her assistant Kellsey, are phenomenal. I was initially on the fence about hiring a partial planner, but I'm so thankful I did. Jackie is so friendly, helpful, and professional and you can tell she truly loves her job.

Whenever I had a question, needed advice about vendors or other planning issues, she was responsive and helped solve any problems that arose quickly. Whether by phone call or in person meetings, Jackie was flexible and accommodating. The day of I didn't have to worry about anything and Jackie and Kellsey put everything together better than I could have imagined. My wedding ended up being perfect and Jackie and Kellsey were a huge part of that.

If you're on the fence about hiring a planner, I would do it and hire Jackie. The day of, especially, you will be thanking yourself when you're not having to decorate and de-decorate, keep track of time for all the little events, or worry about ushering people around. You'll be able to enjoy your day to the fullest.

Amazing! Perfection!

Hiring Jackie was the best thing we did for our wedding. She is incredible. Her enthusiasm is contagious. Her recommendations for vendors were spot on and all the vendors we worked with sang Jackie’s praises. Jackie was able to help us realize our vision and make it virtually stress free. We had a lot of details and events over our wedding weekend and she made it all smooth and seamless. Jackie is a true professional! Her thoughtfulness and kindness made working with her a joy. We can’t say enough about how amazing Jackie is.

Working with Jackie was an absolute dream. Our wedding was planned over about 18 months, and I never felt like I was anything less than her number one priority, even though I know she had other weddings to work on. Jackie took so much stress away from planning our wedding. She was a sounding board when I had ideas to run by her, she was super creative when I told her all of the non-traditional things we wanted, and on the day of our wedding, I did not worry about a thing. Everything looked amazing and was exactly how we wanted. The two assistants that worked with her were also phenomenal. We could not have had our wedding without Jackie and her team!

All I can say is WOW!!! I was NOT an inside-the-box bride, and had an insanely detailed and personalized vision for a wedding week that terrified most planners; Jackie, on the other hand, embraced my zany ideas and larger-than-life concept with as much enthusiasm as I did! We worked closely together for eighteen months, and her enthusiasm never flagged. From attending my final fitting with me and learning how to tie the complicated sash on my ceremony dress to answering each and every one of my 3am emails promptly to finding the best of the best vendors (including non-traditional vendors like a local woodworker to make a guest signing bench) to tackling dozens of time-consuming projects (need the origami crane placecard holders to stand better? Check! Need individual "thank you's" tied to all the flatware? Check! Need labels printed for 200 spice jars of handmade Sriracha salt? Check!), Jackie did it all. On "the big day," Jackie seamlessly orchestrated a million moving parts on a 35-acre venue, and never lost her composure or her smile... with weather that changed from sun to rain every half hour, and my risky insistence on going for the outdoor ceremony up a big hill. I almost believe she arranged for the rainbow that magically appeared during dinner! Of the many decisions I made about my wedding, hiring Jackie was the best and the most important. Six stars!!!

Can I please give Jackie 10 Stars? Our Wedding was beyond the point of PERFECT! Jackie made sure that everything ran smoothly. In addition, she helped us at all points along the way ensuring that we would have a perfect day. I cannot say enough good things about Jackie. Once you meet her, you will absolutely know why she is the perfect planner for you. I would hire her in a heart beat for any event planning in the future!

My wedding was this past July. My wedding was everything I dreamed of and more. Jackie helped me so much with the planning, keeping me sane and most importantly keeping me within my budget. Hiring Jackie was the best decision I made. Without her I would have had to juggle wedding planning, graduate school and first year teaching all at once. Thanks to Jackie, she was able to make the process fun but less stressful. If I forgot anything she would remind me. Jackie was always in an awesome mood and always willing to meet at anytime or day. She is super flexible. If I could do it all over again, I would choose Jackie in a heartbeat.
