Jelena is a Genius!

Jelena did the flowers for our wedding last summer, and she truly made my vision a reality! I had always dreamed of a floral wall at my wedding, but what she did was better than I could have even imagined. Not being very educated in florals, I had an overall idea of what I wanted, but didn't really know exactly what that was. She was so good about showing me different options to see what I liked and didn't, and also guided me to be sure that the florals would be appropriate and what would be within my budget. When I walked into the room for the "first venue look" I was blown away. It truly was like I was stepping into my dream wedding. She somehow knew exactly what I wanted, even though I couldn't describe it. She was so helpful throughout the entire process, every question was answered quickly which really helped to alleviate some of the wedding planning stress. She is amazing and we could not be happier with her work!!!

Absolutely Incredible – Jelena Is the Planner You Want!

Hiring Jelena was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. I booked her partial planning package, and from the very beginning she went above and beyond anything I expected. She spent countless hours with me perfecting the overall vision, walking through décor ideas, and planning out every detail of the timing for the day. Her professionalism, calm demeanor, and deep wedding experience made the entire process feel effortless.
Jelena was also our florist, and the flowers were breathtaking. The entire venue looked absolutely stunning — beautifully coordinated, thoughtfully arranged, and exactly what I had dreamed of. She truly brought the vision to life in a way that exceeded anything I could have imagined.
On the wedding day, Jelena handled all setup and tear-down seamlessly. I didn’t have to worry about a single thing. Everything appeared magically in place, ran smoothly, and was packed up at the end of the night without me even noticing.
If you’re looking for someone who is professional, experienced, incredibly talented, and genuinely invested in making your day perfect, Jelena is the one. I cannot recommend her enough!

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!

JBK Weddings & Events makes your Fairytale dreams come true!

If you want sanity and an amazing vision for florals for your wedding, look nowhere else! We found JBK Weddings at the Seattle Bridal Show in 2019 and were amazed by her fairy-tale aesthetic at her booth! We actually won a raffle to get a discount on her day-of-coordinating services and upon meeting, she gave us the reality check for our budget. She was thorough to explain the average costs, what we could get, and what we were asking, and provided vendor suggestions which was extremely needed and appreciated. This was how we knew we could trust Jelena with our biggest day of our lives - she was also genuinely excited to be a part of our wedding. Any meeting we had with her - we were always jazzed! Since we had to postpone twice (thanks pandemic!), we decided Jelena would also be our florist. As two brides, she carefully catered our bouquets to our aesthetics and personalities which we truly loved and she communicated with us our plan and floral plan every step of the way. Leading up to the wedding, she also saved the day when we had issues with our recommended make-up artist and managed to smooth our walks with our family and bridal party during rehearsal. On the day of the wedding, when it came to the venue decor, she made our vision for a fairy tale wedding come to life! (look at these photos!) She also made sure we were brought plates to eat during the reception and kept the showing going. People kept coming up to us to tell us how amazing Jelena was keeping everything coordinated and how beautiful the floral decor was. She's THE best!

Attention to detail and the sweetest personality

There's so many good things to say. I'm not sure where to start! Jelena was the sweetest, kindest, and most helpful with ALL the things! When I say ALL, I mean everything! Jelena was hired to provide our flowers and her day-of planning services for our wedding, but she was so much more. She listened to my frustrations and fears and provided guidance by letting me pick her brain from day 1, not just the month leading up to the wedding. Jelena kept great communication throughout the entire time! Her attention to detail is impeccable!! The decorations were absolutely beautiful, and the extra touches of rose petals and the candles in front of our table were absolutely gorgeous! We also had succulents included in our floral arrangements, and Jelena took the time after the wedding not only to gather several for me to plant at home, but even helped by taking all the floral tape off, packaged them with care, and provided tips on how to plant them. And, one of my most favorite parts was... during cocktail hour, my husband ended up with makeup from a guest on his tuxedo. Jelena noticed immediately and jumped into action cleaning it with a wet wipe. Something small, but it truly is these little things that made all the difference and made our day as perfect as could be! We are so blessed to have found Jelena 💜 (more pics to come when we get them!)

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.

Best Decision Ever

Jelena made the whole planning process so easy for my wife and I. From the meetings and walkthroughs ahead of time to the week of coordination with our other vendors, we could not ask for a better experience.

JBK also took care of all our floral needs and it turned out perfect. Would recommend Jelena to anyone getting married.

Wedding bouquets for my son's wedding

Jelena was given a few details and out of those created unique, individual and Disney themed florals for the wedding party. Unbelievably beautiful!

JBK will make your dreams come true!!

Jelena was a dream to work with. Super responsive, great communication and strong understanding of what I wanted. When our plans changed and I wanted to change up the color scheme, it was no issue. When I needed to change the order amount, again no issue. She handled it all with ease. Another aspect, I respected and appreciated so much was she worked with my budget. I have never placed a large floral order, and was not sure what I could afford, she was clear and adjusted things to make it work for us. I was OBSESSED with our flowers! It was the best money we spent, I could have looked at them all day long. I can't recommend her enough! Based on her portfolio she has a wide range of skills and she is able to create what you want. I can't thank her enough, or recommend her enough. Truly a great vendor to work with! #dreamteam
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
