Rave review

Jen's effectiveness can best be summarized by our DJ (who has been doing weddings for over 20 years) who said she was the best Coordinator he's ever worked with! She worked closely with him during the wedding to make sure everything flowed smoothly. Leading up to the wedding, Jen was very responsive and worked with us (long-distance) to get to know us, our style, and she ultimately helped pull together the perfect day.

Outstanding

Jen was so professional, organized and full of resources and advice while planning my wedding. She made the planning process so much easier by her years of experience and expertise. The wedding day was seemless and not one detail forgotten about!

Working with Jen was the absolute best decision we could have made for our wedding and I truly have no idea how we would have pulled it off without her help. She was thoughtful in her suggestions, very responsive, able to keep us organized, a great listener (through many bridal breakdowns!), able to put out numerous fires and truly got our vision which was very clear when we arrived for the ceremony and got to see the space. We can't say enough good things about her. If you have any questions if a wedding planner is worth it...Jen absolutely is.

We love Jen. I personally did not think I needed a wedding day of planner, because I am super organized. But I was wrong. I clearly needed Jen. She is amazing, we had a 8 page timeline, which worked out great. Jen helped us through the planning if we had questions, then a couple weeks before the wedding we did the timeline. She was great in getting us all in line for the rehersal and actual wedding. We had my daughters reception at the Strathallan, and there is a lot of misc things to be brought in. Jen took care of them ALL. I did not have to do any of that, which allowed me to have a great time at my daughters wedding. I would NOT do a wedding without Jen again. Simply amazing Job Jen... I may come work for you in the future....

We hired Jen to be our wedding planner for the entire planning process and we are so glad we did! Jen was an absolute pleasure to work with and her advice as well as expertise was invaluable. She understood our vision and made sure every little detail corresponded with the overall look and feel we were going for- all while being mindful of our budget. She was easy to communicate with and responsive to our questions and concerns along the way. She knew when it was best to take the initiative in situations, which was greatly appreciated. She was a great resource for everything, from recommending the best vendors to bouncing our ideas off of. She was also very organized and on top of our deadlines which meant things didn't slip through the cracks. Lastly, what we really loved about Jen was her down to earth personality and warm heart. She has a positive "can do" attitude and it's clear she is passionate about what she does. I truly believe if it wasn't for Jen, our dream wedding would not have been possible- or have ran as smoothly as it did. We are so happy we chose Jen and we highly recommend her for your wedding!
