San Diego's BEST wedding Planner

To the best and most helpful wedding planner in San Diego. Jenna really helped me plan my wedding from the ground up. I was a person who never really dreamt about a dream wedding and knew nothing about planning one. Jenna was there holding our hands from day one helping us navigate and create the most magical and memorable night of our lives. From the big decisions of our venue to the minute details of the table settings she brought our dream night to life. If i tried planning this on my own i think i would have given up. She kept the timelines straight and kept us on schedule throughout the whole planning process. Then when it came to the big day she was a boss. Everything went off without a hitch. I would have to say this might be the best wedding we or any of our guests have attended. The love and gratefulness we have for Jenna is unmeasurable. And the team she surrounds herself and vendors she suggested were all top notch and came through better than expected!

Jenna is the best!

We cannot say enough amazing things about Jenna. From our rehearsal dinner/welcome party to our wedding day, she went truly above and beyond in every way. As a very detail-oriented bride, I was able to place our entire weekend in Jenna’s hands without a single moment of hesitation. She is everything I could have ever asked for in a coordinator: organized, calm, communicative, and always ten steps ahead. She handled the last-minute weather changes absolutely seamlessly. Because of her, our day remained every bit as beautiful as we imagined. Our weekend was absolutely perfect from start to finish, and Jenna played a huge role in making that perfection possible. If you’re looking for someone you can trust wholeheartedly with the most important moments of your wedding, Jenna is the one. We’re forever grateful for her.

Jenna is amazing!

My husband and I are SO grateful that we hired Jenna to plan our wedding. Seriously, we could not have done it without her. We had a wedding of about 135+ guests, (over 200 invited) at a large hotel. My husband and I both have very busy work schedules and we knew it would be super hard to do all the planning on our own. Jenna was worth every penny and then some. If you have the budget to hire a wedding planner, definitely do it! What I loved about Jenna was that she was super responsive, very detail oriented, has a great eye for design (which is great because I don't!) and is very organized and focused. She also was super helpful when it came to contract negotiation and she was able to spot any errors very easily. She kept our budget in mind and she is personable and easy to work with. We had multiple guests with some mobility issues and she made sure that everything was perfectly accessible for our disabled guests. When both my parents were dealing with health issues right before the wedding (and I wasn't sure if they'd be able to make it!) she even organized a back up live streaming service in case we needed it (fortunately we didn't need it). She has been doing this a long time and her expertise is evident in everything she does. She gives 100% to what she does and it shows. Our wedding day went perfectly!!

Amazing wedding planner - a joy to work with

As a former event manager I knew that I did NOT want to plan my own wedding. Enter, Jenna Carino, who is THE BEST. From our first phone call to the wedding day, she took care of every detail, most of the time without me knowing about it! As a destination bride, it was super helpful that she had vendor recommendations (and all of them were obsessed with her) and she even came to two of our tastings with us to get to know our vibe! I know how stressful events can be, especially when it's the biggest day of someones life, but Jenna showed absolutely no stress! Everything was taken care of seamlessly. If you think you only want a day-of coordinator, I highly encourage you to hire Jenna for at least the month-of or partial planning! The months leading up to the wedding she took care of SO MANY details, from certificates of insurance, to communicating with vendors, to making sure we had thought of everything (like a getaway car!) We are so thankful for Jenna! She also provided amazing design service with our signaged! People always say something goes wrong on the wedding day - well if it did, we didn't know about it because Jenna took care of it without worrying us! THANK YOU Jenna!

A Perfect Wedding Day!

We absolutely loved having Jenna as our wedding coordinator! We hired her for the Management and Coordination package, and she went above and beyond to help us have a beautiful wedding day. She knew the questions to ask our vendors, the timeline was pristine, and she has an amazing decor selection so we didn't have to go in search of anything besides a few unique items. She communicated with us in a timely manner and we really didn't feel stressed leading up to or on the day of. Our rehearsal was smooth as she spoke with individuals, specifically our officiant to make sure certain things were in his speech, and that made sure our ceremony was flawless. Her assistant was also fabulous and we really couldn't have asked for more from both of them. Thank you Jenna!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best Decision I made for my wedding was hiring Jenna! She is truly amazing!!!!

I cannot express enough how amazing Jenna was. From the very beginning, she was incredibly organized, professional, and genuinely dedicated to making sure everything was perfect.

I was extremely stressed and emotional in the lead-up to the wedding, but Jenna was the calm presence I needed. She was there for me every step of the way, offering support, reassurance, and expert guidance when I needed it most. Her ability to keep me calm and focused was invaluable, and I felt completely at ease knowing she was handling everything.

She truly went above and beyond in every aspect. On the day of the wedding, I was able to relax and enjoy every moment because I knew Jenna had everything under control. I didn’t have to worry about a thing – not even a tiny detail. For example, when the rental company set up the chairs and tables incorrectly, Jenna immediately stepped in and fixed it without me even knowing until after it was taken care of. It’s that kind of attention to detail that made all the difference.

Thanks to her expertise and calm demeanor, everything was executed perfectly. She worked behind the scenes to ensure that every detail was taken care of and that everything ran smoothly. Her hard work and dedication exceeded all of my expectations, and I truly couldn't have asked for a better wedding coordinator.

Hiring Jenna was absolutely worth it—her services are a great value for everything she does. If you want to enjoy your day without stress and have complete confidence that everything will be taken care of, I highly recommend her. She is an absolute lifesaver and made our wedding day so special, magical, and unforgettable!

Far exceeded expectations

I truly couldn’t have asked for a better wedding coordinator! Jenna’s expertise was evident in every detail of our planning—from managing vendors and creating a seamless timeline to flawlessly executing every detail on the big day. Her organization and communication throughout the process kept me calm and on track during what could have easily been a stressful time.
Jenna’s talents go far beyond just coordination too. She has an incredible eye for design and brought my vision of a romantic, candlelit ambiance to life. It was stunning, magical, and even more beautiful than anything I had imagined or seen on Pinterest!
Thanks to Jenna, I was able to be fully present and enjoy our wedding day without a single worry. I am beyond grateful for everything she did to make our day perfect.

Relax and let Jenna work her magic!

From Jenna's thorough pre-planning and communication to her hands-on assistance on the day, she turned what could have been a stressful event into a truly magical day for my family. Jenna's commitment and expertise in vendor management and day-of scheduling guaranteed the smooth running of our reception. Working with her was a pleasure, and her help on this special day allowed me to relax and fully enjoy the celebration with our guests.

Absolutely the Best!

My wife and I just recently married. We interviewed a lot of wedding coordinators until we found the perfect one in Jenna. She not only listened to our vision but added a layer above our expectations. She was there everytime we needed her, kept us on track, made our lives much better as the stress level was very low. We had a blast being with her and having her guide us every step of the way. If you are looking for a coordinator that will take your wedding to the next level and make your life less stressful Jenna is hands down the best. When the time comes to renew our vows we will be calling Jenna up to help us with that as well as celebrate that with us. She is now family for life!

Best Decision We Made

Hiring Jenna was the best decision we made for our wedding. We hired her for day-of coordination and she went above and beyond to surpass all of our expectations. She encouraged us to reach out with any questions during our planning process and had great advice and insight whenever we were unsure about something. She also has some amazing vendors she works with, we were extremely happy with her florist recommendation. She is very organized and has a similar type-A personality to me which I appreciated, as I could trust her to keep everything together and communicate all the important details. She helped us tie up loose ends to put all of our design elements together flawlessly and helped us bring to life the vision I’ve had in my head since I was a little girl. The day of our event, Jenna and her assistant were on top of everything. There were some big things that went wrong (as is bound to happen) and I never knew about any of them. My dress came unbustled and they were there fixing it within a few seconds, before we even had a chance to tell them. They were prepared for everything and we really could not have pulled together our beautiful wedding without them. We will forever be grateful to Jenna and her team.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
