Jen Neal Studio Events

There are not enough thank yous in the world for Jen! We planned our wedding in less than 6 months, and I was adamant that I did not need a planner. But as planning quickly progressed, we realized how necessary it was to have a sounding board and someone who has genuine experience with weddings (even non-traditional ones like ours). My initial plan was to only use Jen as a day-of-coordinator, but you need someone who is familiar with you and with your vendors to properly execute the big day and I’m so appreciative that Jen customized a package tailored to our planning/day-of needs. We found Jen with a quick google search and had a response to our inquiry within an hour. That was already a telling sign for how on-the-ball she would be; after our intro call, I knew we were in good hands and had a great partnership ahead. Jen went above and beyond during the planning process while simultaneously letting me take the lead. When we encountered a few roadblocks with our non-traditional dreams at Nura, a Brooklyn restaurant, she had great ideas and solutions to stay true to what we envisioned while also ensuring it would be executed properly. Fast forward to the day-of and she was beyond phenomenal! When I showed up, the setup was ahead of schedule and very stress-free, which set the tone for the entire event! Throughout the night, she made sure we always had a drink in our hands, that we ate when there were breaks, she bustled my train like a pro, and overall, we (and our families) felt so taken care of. I am so lucky to have connected with Jen and couldn’t recommend her enough!

I cannot recommend Jen highly enough, especially to any detail-focused person wondering if they need a coordinator for an intimate wedding. For our 45-person celebration, Jen was the ultimate partner: professional, highly responsive, and a steady, calm presence from start to finish. She was excellent at keeping me accountable on my to-dos, which allowed me to actually let go of the reins on the day of. Seeing her work so seamlessly with the restaurant staff gave me total peace of mind, and she was always two steps ahead of every need. She didn't just coordinate our wedding; she made the entire experience easier and much more enjoyable.

My partner and I engaged Jen as a month-of coordinator for our wedding in Brooklyn. It was by far the best thing we spent money on for our wedding to keep our stress levels down and make our day a success! We were so grateful to work with her - she was organized, professional, and responsive. She did a great job communicating with our vendors, and kept thing running smoothly on the day of the wedding. The only thing we would have done differently is engaged Jen earlier in the planning process! Thanks so much, Jen.

Jen was pivotal to our wedding day running smoothly. We hired her for month of coordination and she dove right in, orchestrating all of our vendors to keep everything organized. She filled in all the gaps - from queuing up music, ushering guests to the next portion of the evening, moving florals, keeping us on schedule and so much more. Jen is so kind, detail oriented, and our day wouldn't have gone so well without her. Thank you Jen!

We had the pleasure of working with Jen for our 2026 wedding! She was so lovely and organized throughout the whole process and made us feel taken care of. We had to pivot venues 4 months prior due to a cancellation and she made us feel at ease when we were going through it! We cannot recommend her enough. She also helped with our rehearsal the day before and helped with coordinating so that everyone felt prepared. During the day of our wedding she took such great care of us, the timeline, the decor, and collaborating with all vendors. Truly so thankful for her, because our wedding went flawlessly 🥰

Jen is an amazing coordinator and our wedding day was perfect all thanks to her. We hired her as a day-of-coordinator but she got involved in the weeks leading up and took over the vendor coordination, ironing out all of the things we didn’t know we needed to do that would have caused surprises on the wedding day. Her expertise and guidance helped us realize our vision and our wedding day ran so smoothly. We were able to be truly present with our guests and enjoy every moment while Jen handled everything else. The schedule she helped us make ran so smoothly and every vendor was so well organized thanks to Jen’s know-how. We can’t sing her praises enough or recommend her any more highly. Jen is truly the best!

Jen is absolutely wonderful! The first time I met her, she gave off a great vibe and instantaneously made me feel that “You’re in excellent hands” feeling. As we prepared she took detailed notes and asked specific questions to ensure that she could deliver on my vision- esthetically and logistically. Shes incredibly professional and a pleasure to work with. Our wedding couldn’t have been more seamless. Her efficiency and organization skills- impeccable; but what makes Jen so special is her kind nature and cool air. She understands the assignment and makes everything a breeze. She’s simply the best.

Man oh man, Jen Neal. We are SO BLESSED TO HAVE FOUND HER.
Firstly, my wife is a little Type A. In fact, she’s the most organized and logistically sound person I know, a literal director of operations and logistics professionally. So we were generally of the mind that, with her go-getter-ness and litany of google sheets, plus wells on wells of likes and dislikes from past weddings, we’d be in a good place. Fast forward, we were not in a good place. Granted, our wedding was nontraditional and we had 5-6 months to plan it, but we were running into logistical hurdles that were just over our (her) head. So after a quick google search, we found Jen, who responded to our inquiry within the hour. We immediately hopped on a call and emitted a massive exhale. Jen was exactly what we needed—a coordinator with loads of experience who could be a sounding board for my wife, reality check, and general executor on our behalf. She took care of us. So responsive to emails, to us and on our vendors (she got on our vendors). So generous with her time. In fact, we initially connected with her to simply be a “Day-Of” coordinator, but she ultimately did so much more than that. On the actual day, everything went extremely smoothly, which was not easy given the size of the restaurant, timing constraints with the band, and everything else that comes with doing a wedding relatively nontraditionally. It’s incalculable the amount of stress that Jen Neal relieved/prevented for us. We are so indebted to her and couldn’t speak highly enough about her!

Working with Jen Neal is the best thing you can do to set yourself up for success with your wedding day. I hired her to be my Day of Coordinator.

She is kind, professional, knowledgeable, attentive, and so very helpful!

I initially intended to hire someone to work behind the scenes to help keep wedding events on track, things like - cue our speakers, escort guests to and from cocktail hour. But it quickly became apparent in planning that Jen does so much more!

Right from the start, Jen listened to my thoughts and intentions. She understood my vision and took the time to really know me, so the end result felt totally aligned with me and my husband.

In planning, Jen was always just an email or text away. While she is titled the “day of” coordinator, she was involved in our wedding planning for months before! Jen attended my venue walk through with my (now husband) and me, so she could learn about the space and my preferences. She offered helpful suggestions like which type of microphone to purchase and a smart idea on how to set my hightop menus.

She helped me to think of questions other vendors could ask to help me prepare. She also provided wonderful recommendations for vendors which I felt was helpful because they were already vetted and trusted.

At many points throughout planning, Jen checked in to make sure that my vision was being held and that I felt heard.

Jen has wonderful communication and sets clear expectations which I loved. She also contacted all of my vendors in advance to check on their arrival time and asked them what they needed to be successful. Jen put together a timeline that my vendors and family followed perfectly to the hour. The timeline ensured we kept to schedule and didn't miss anything.

I'm organized by nature, and Jen’s additional tools really set me up for success. Jen set up our table top decorations and cake table that looked better than I could have dreamed- simply by referencing screenshots and inspiration photos that I sent her.

I arrived at my venue and Jen was welcoming and already in motion. She worked with my florist to save a bit of money for me, and set up the flowers and my decorations perfectly.

During the ceremony and reception, Jen's work was felt but she was very delicately behind the scenes. She somehow always showed up when I needed her. Jen actually provided my husband and me with water throughout the day, making sure we stayed hydrated which was so nice!! And she answered some questions that came up literally during our reception.

I told Jen that I was going to return an item I purchased to Amazon, and she packed it up beautifully in original packaging to make the return a breeze! I didn't even ask her to do that, she just went above and beyond.

It was Jen who saw me before I walked down the aisle, Jen who helped me and my family pack up before we left the venue. I trusted her so much on my wedding day and I am thrilled that she was a part of it.

In the end, Jen feels like a friend I've known for years. She feels like my sister who happens to be a wedding planner. I feel so lucky that I found Jen, and I wish the same for all of you. She helped me feel calm and in control on the best day of my life.

Jen was our day-of coordinator and helped ensure things were tracking well in the lead-up to our event. She was great to have in a walk-through where she helped us think of things we wouldn't have known to ask the venue, and took meticulous notes. She also helped us put the floral arrangements together which looked great and took some stress off our plate. Thanks so much Jen!
