Jelena Krzeszowski {YElena Kra-ZOW-ski}, the principal planner of JBK weddings and Events, has been coordinating and decorating weddings and events in the greater Seattle area and throughout Puget Sound for more than a decade

Jelena began her rise to become one of the region’s most creative Wedding and Event Coordinators by a magical twist of fate. It happened one day when she stepped in to help a family friend with a wedding that was short of precious time, ideas and budget. Jelena displayed a natural talent for weaving together the many strands that create a pleasurable and memorable event. She quickly became immersed in catering, decorating and coordinating of events, first for non-profit and then into full-service wedding planning on her own.

Jelena’s other passion for arranging beautiful flowers led her to apprentice as a floral designer. Recognizing the need to broaden her knowledge, she worked with one of Seattle’s Premier Floral companies. Today, her creativity shines in stunning floral arrangements for every occasion.

Hard work, creative thinking and attention to detail are what set superior Wedding Planners apart. Jelena’s joyful stylings and practical solutions for all of the many facets of a successful event have set her apart from the rest of the industry.

Jelena is amazing

From the first moment we met Jelena, we knew she had to be a part of our wedding. Though we originally had intended to have her take care of the flowers, some life circumstances lead us to hiring her as our wedding planner and it was the best decision we could have made. She had the vision and helped everything come together for a bride that was undecided on so many things. She helped us navigate the important aspects that we didn’t think of, connected us with amazing vendors and she was always available via text for random questions at all hours. More than that, she helped create the most amazing and beautiful wedding that we didn’t even know we wanted, but couldn't imagine it being any other way now that it's done. I would recommend her to any bride looking for help to make the big day perfect. She made sure the bride and groom had the best day, and took care of all the last minute chaos without breaking a sweat. If you don't need a planner, you must have her do the flowers. To say they were stunning was an understatement. I will forever be grateful to her for everything she did for us to make our wedding day an absolute fairy tale and a dream come true.

What a wonderful wedding, thank you Jelena!

We booked Jelena for both flowers and for her partial planning services and were so, so happy with both. While planning the event, she was happy to put us in touch with potential vendors, all while making sure we were ticking things off the to-do list at the right schedule. The rehearsal, ceremony, and reception all went off without a hitch, and Jelena was always on hand, always on the lookout for anything that might go wrong, and made sure that everyone knew where they were supposed to be and when. The week after the wedding, the event coordinator at our church asked us to send her Jelena’s contact info because she was floored by her eagle-eyed attention to detail and competence, and wanted to be able to recommend her for other couples. The “master timeline” she put together for the day of was my particular favorite service she provided. It broke the day down into five minute blocks explaining exactly where people needed to be and when, from us arriving at the church at 8am to get ready all the way to the grand exit and cleanup at midnight.

For flowers, she worked with us to make sure she knew exactly what flowers, colors, and styles we wanted and where. I think I learned more about flowers in our consults with her than in my previous 30 years of life combined.

All in all, I can’t recommend her enough!

Jelena is a wedding planning & floral dream team!

I’m so thankful we had the opportunity to work with Jelena at JBK Weddings & Events for both wedding planning as well as floral design. Jelena helped us figure out our vision for our wedding & so calmly & eloquently brought it all together. Her recommendations for DJs, photographers, make-up & hair stylists, and cake/dessert bakers were perfect. On the day of the wedding, we didn’t worry about anything…literally anything…as we knew we were in great hands with Jelena as well as with all the wonderful vendor recommendations Jelena provided. After the wedding, many people commented on how well the event was executed & how they could tell that Jelena was in control of making it all happen so seamlessly. If you’re not sure you need a wedding planner and/or floral designer, trust us, you do…and Jelena is the person you want ‘leading the charge’ on one of the biggest days of your life. The peace of mind and calmness we felt on our wedding day allowed us to enjoy the event & be in the moment. In our minds, that is irreplaceable.
