We had Rumi Shah as our primary wedding planner through J2R. I have to say she was wonderful! She walked us through the entire planning process, connected us with vendors that made our day incredibly special. She became a second mom on the day of the wedding. We loved her services and her ability to connect with us beyond just being another couple that she was planning a wedding for. Throughout the process, she kept us engaged and we never felt lost or anxious. The day went flawlessly and it was absolutely magical. We will miss her bi weekly calls and check ins. Loved our experience with her!

Three words for anyone reading this: book J2R events now! Rumi was our lead wedding planner for our destination wedding in Cabo in December 2023. When we first met rumi at a friends wedding, my partner and I hadnt’t even gotten engaged yet but we knew right at that moment that we needed her as our wedding planner. She was an absolute joy to work with, meticulous and efficient in her work, and endlessly committed to making our wedding week a success.

Our first meeting with Rumi was about 15 months before our wedding. Rumi was so warm, welcoming and kind. She was honest and laid out exactly what we needed to know in regards to timelines for planning, budget and cost, vendor selection, etc. She spent time learning about our dream vision, our likes/dislikes, the things that were non-negotiably important to us and our families. We could see immediately that she was going to put her heart and soul into all that she was going to do. More importantly, it was immediately evident to us that she LOVES what she does and truly enjoys the process of helping couples achieve their special day.

From there on, Rumi immediately got to work with helping us select our vendors (which was a huge relief). She did thorough research, offered us the best budget friendly options and asked questions to the vendors that we wouldn’t have otherwise thought to ask but was ultimately important to know. Even though she and her team handle multiple weddings at a time, it felt like she was only there for us. She kept us on track in terms of timeline and we felt ahead of the game the entire time which was a GIANT relief. Never once did we feel behind or rushed in our planning process. The last month leading up to the wedding, she met with us weekly over zoom to put all the final details together, planned meetings with all our vendors to meet together, and even talked to each of our families separately and then together to iron out all the timelines of wedding week.

Before we knew it, wedding week was upon us. rumi flew in the same day we did and immediately got to work meeting with all the vendors in person, finalizing decor, coordinating with our on site resort team, and helping prepare welcome bags, doing final walk throughs etc. We didn’t have to worry about a single thing. As is expected in an indian wedding, there were of course last minute changes requested by our family members and family stress and anxiety but Rumi triaged everything and handled it so well. It was also here that we met the remainder of the J2R Team: Tarak Shah and Jalpa Patel. We had just met but felt like we had known them for years. They were so enthusiastic and looked after us so well the entire week. Together the entire J2R team was a cohesive and seamless unit, extremely efficient and communicated with each other flawlessly.

Rumi was patient with our families, did walk throughs with them the night before the events were starting to allow them to ask any questions, showed them utmost respect, incorporated their last minute suggestions/desires and most importantly, did this all without letting the stress of it reach the bride and groom. She made sure the older family members had Indian food to eat at the resort, she ensured that food was sent to both the bride and groom as we were getting ready, made all of our guests feel so comfortable and most importantly for an indian wedding, ensured that EVERYTHING ran on time. We were amazed at how she did this, never once missing a beat and always with a smile, completely calm under pressure. On wedding day itself, Rumi, Tarak and Jalpa’s communication was meticulous and our entire wedding was a success because of them.

We could go on forever about how amazing Rumi is and all the details that she handled so perfectly but if you really want to know for yourself, hire her as your wedding planner. It was the first and best decision we made during our planning process. We have and will continue to refer her to our family and friends for their future events. Through it all, she became a friend and confidant and we can’t wait to see her again and catch up about life!

Thank you Rumi and all of J2R for bringing our dream wedding to life.
R&F

My now husband and I worked with Rumi from J2R Events as our lead planner for coordination of our big day in August 2023.

We have only great things to say about Rumi and her team.

Rumi got involved about 3 weeks before our wedding day, and she was immediately on it! She began contacting and coordinating with our various vendors and had multiple Zoom calls with us and our parents to address the smaller details as well.

Leading up to the wedding day, Rumi did an amazing job of balancing questions from us, our parents and the vendors with patience and attention to detail. The spreadsheet she created to track the timing of our wedding day minute-by-minute was so helpful as well in the planning process for both us, our family and friends, and the other vendors.

Once the big day came, Rumi and her team handled every little detail. We even had one larger issue pop up, but Rumi literally saved the day by phoning in one of her many vendor contacts to come and help handle it last minute.

With J2R Events as your wedding planner, you can rest assured that your big day(s) will go smoothly! My husband and I were able to enjoy every moment without having to worry about anything.
