Couldn't have had our day without Jennifer!

My husband and I weren't sure if we really needed a planner, but we are so glad we booked Jennifer! Not only did she coordinate our day flawlessly day-of and in advance, but saved us time and money with her stock of day-of items including an instant camera (for our guest book), votive candles and lanterns, signage, easels, etc. I had no idea how much those things could add up and it was such a relief to already have it done when came to the tail end of our wedding planning. I think Jennifer's best asset is her positive attitude - she was ready to do anything we needed to make sure we had a great day. For example, when we realized last minute that we didn't have a music stand for our officiant, she ran out and got one no questions asked. Planning a wedding is a stressful process and the #1 most important thing to me was surrounding myself with people who would support me and my husband. Throughout the process she served as an important confidant and constantly reassured me that we were making good decisions.

Amazing Day of Coordinator

In the week leading up to our wedding, my husband and I regularly said that hiring Jennifer was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding and the best money we spent! Working with her as a day of coordinator made the day go seamlessly. Jennifer was incredibly organized and knowledgeable and was available to us for questions from our first meeting. We really cannot recommend Jennifer enough!

Work with Jennifer- you won't regret it!

If you're reading this, book Jennifer- just do it! She is without a doubt the best money I spent on my wedding, I would hire her a million times over and I've already referred her to all of my friends. She really made our dreams come true and I don't think my wedding would have been what it was without her. She is so incredibly organized, knowledgeable with all things weddings, and finds ways to repurpose flowers/decor and save you money (if you want). Day of, she handled everything flawlessly and even was able to wrangle our 20 person bridal parties with ease. If she was stressed, I never saw it. She approached every meeting with a smile and a plan to get everything done. Jennifer is an incredible person, a true professional, and a true talent. You will be so happy you worked with her.

Would recommend to anyone!

We worked with Fetedujour events for our September 2023 wedding, and would highly recommend to anyone. Jenn met with us starting about a year out from our wedding day and was so helpful every step along the way. She helped create a vision board, discussed difficulties I was having with another vendor and the decision to pick a new vendor, and made sure everything was communicated with all vendors. Jenn has a great personality and helped make wedding planning a less stressful experience. The day of, Jenn set up a ton of decor for me and made our space stunning. It rained during our day and Jenn helped facilitate the backup plan and make sure everything was just as beautiful as it would’ve been outside. Jenn made sure our day ran smoothly, which also included wrangling a lot of drunk guests and groomsmen. We were so thankful to have hired Jenn and would hire her again in a heartbeat.

We love jennifer!

I had a pretty clear vision for my wedding, so I needed the perfect day-of-coordinator to make sure everything came together on the big big day - enter Jennifer. From our first call, I knew she was a great listener, she was organized, communicative, and most importantly, I knew she was going to have my back. When you choose Jennifer you're getting a friend, but you're also getting a no non-sense, in charge badass, who is going to get things done. Any hiccups in the planning process were immediately addressed and taken care of and any time something fell off my radar, Jennifer was there to get me back on track. Our wedding was a dream, and we could not possibly thank Jennifer enough.

The best wedding planner!!

It is so hard to find words to fully express how wonderful Jennifer was as our wedding planner. I spoke with several planners at the beginning of the planning process before Jennifer and I knew she was the one as soon as I talked to her because of her positive and friendly energy. She was so amazing and helpful throughout the entire planning process. From selecting vendors, to countless planning calls, to being so responsive to all my emails/texts. Our wedding was at my parents’ house, and we honestly had no idea what we were getting ourselves into when we made that decision. We basically had to create an entire venue for 100+ people from scratch, which was such an undertaking, and we could not have done it without Jennifer. Our wedding week especially was so much work. Jennifer made the drive out there almost every day that week and would spend the entire day helping out in any way she could. She also was SO personable with everyone in our wedding party and our families. My parents absolutely adored her, and she made them so at ease in an otherwise extremely hectic time of having a ton of people you don’t know coming and going in your house and at your property. On the day of our rehearsal, she ended up staying hours after the rehearsal was over and the main set up was complete in order to do a ton of flower arrangements for the wedding so that I could go get ready for our rehearsal dinner. Totally was not part of her job at all but she happily volunteered and they turned out amazing. On our wedding day, there was a ton of miscellaneous décor that I did not have a specific plan for and I completely trusted her to just do whatever she thought would look good and it all looked amazing! She even did the flowers for our cake! By the time we got to that day, we had been spending so much time together that I genuinely missed her while the bridal party was getting ready at a different location that morning. I also had an entire notebook of little details and instructions for the day and she did not miss a beat. She made sure the entire day went exactly how we wanted it to and was still able to somehow always make sure each of us had a drink and everything that we needed. There have been several times since the wedding where my husband and I and our families have just raved about how amazing she was. We seriously could not recommend her enough. Our wedding day was literally perfect and it would not have been possible without her!!

Just hire her!

3 simple words - JUST HIRE JENNIFER! Then, you will get a hassle free, anxiety free, fun and memorable wedding experience. I hired Jennifer for Fete management & design, she not only flawlessly managed all my vendors before & on the big day, and provided huge assistance on the design aspects (i.e., colors, plates, linens, etc.). Especially we had a destination wedding, Jennifer did multiple venue visits for us. When we had issues with the floral, Jennifer stood by my side and backed me up, so that I could still get what I was promised to get. She is just amazing to work with, both my husband and I, even our parents believe hiring her was literally the best decision we made during the whole wedding planning process. She saved time and money for us, she was ready to do anything we needed, and did above and beyond. In short, money well spent!

Outstanding!!!

Words can't even begin to describe all that Jennifer did to make our wedding run as smoothly as humanly possible. From the first phone call to the day of the wedding, she did an amazing job. She flawlessly handled thousands of texts and emails from me, dealt with difficult vendors, created the perfect timeline, kept me calm, and managed family members. I really could not have planned my wedding without her! Jennifer was magnificent and now feels like a part of the family after everything we went through with her! Fete Du Jour Events was hands down and without a doubt my most favorite vendor and it’s impossible to say enough positive things about her!

Wedding planning *team*!

Jennifer from Fete du Jour Events is a dream to work with! Very quickly I realized I didn't just hire a wedding planner, we were a wedding planning team!

She's got you covered. Need to reschedule the wedding? Let's do this. Vendor communication issues? I'll help you. Sourcing decor? Silly anxieties? Quirky officiant? No sweat. Want a to-the-minute event run of show? Here you go! The most beautifully decorated reception dinner? With a quick pivot to plan B? Voila!

What I can't truly express is how fun she made all of it! We giggled, we toasted, we laughed at our lists of lists...I always had a smile on my face after talking to Jennifer.

There are so many, many other things I could mention. It boils down to this: Our wedding went off perfectly. Not one thing was amiss with her choreography. Our guests had the time of their life (really, many said our wedding was the most fun they had been to maybe ever). Not a happier bride and groom could there be.

Do not hesitate to hire Jennifer. In fact, if you're reviewing and interviewing wedding planners and Fete du Jour is on your list, just hire her now. It will be the. best. decision. you make for your wedding...next to choosing your future spouse!

Book this now!!

Jennifer is absolutely wonderful and you have to book her right now! Seriously, stop reading and book her. She made my big day run perfectly smoothly, and I barely did a thing. We had her as our month-of planner, and she led the charge to come up with our timeline as well as communicate with all of our vendors in the weeks leading up to our wedding. She dealt with difficult family members, kept track of gifts, and even saved the day with an extra pair of socks when I realized I had forgotten mine. I couldn’t have asked for a better planner!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
