Best Day Ever

We booked Jen on referral as she also helped plan and manage my sister's wedding. We chose the partial planning service and Jen helped us out with two meetings and correspondence throughout the year and took over all vendor management at six weeks out, also helping us finalize, confirm, and make sure everything was done for our day.

It helps to have a good planner for a big wedding. On our wedding day our guests and us just had fun and celebrated, while our vendors and service providers were equipped and managed properly, and our decor was properly setup and taken down per our tastes as well as venue requirements. We enjoyed the whole day and didn't have to worry about things. Thanks, Jen!

Everyone needs a Jen in their life

Jen Rios is beyond AMAZING. Hiring Jen was the best decision we made during our whole wedding planning process. Any request or question we had was immediately answered via text, email, or phone. She was direct and confident which was exactly what we needed! I kept wondering if Jen ever sleeps? Seriously, she is one hardworking and organized lady!

Jen made all of our dreams come true for our wedding in Fort Worth, TX, which was not an easy task since we were planning from Virginia. Jen was with us every step of the way and made our vision become a reality. It was an indescribable feeling walking into our reception and seeing exactly what I had imagined since I was a little. With such a big wedding party, different locations for the ceremony & reception, and lots of family involved, Jen planned out a timeline that was able to accommodate all of our requests. Her assistant and even husband worked hard on our wedding day to ensure everything went as planned.

Thank you, Jen, for being my go-to everything wedding, my therapist at times, and my friend! You are seriously the BEST!

Love her! Best decision we made.

We hired Jen for partial planning for our wedding on 5/4/19 and I have no clue what we would have done without her. Literally. In hindsight, if we were going to change anything, we would have hired her for full planning.

She spent more than a year planning with us, understood everything that we wanted for our wedding, from the design to the timing to the overall vibe, and she completely nailed all of it. We were blown away by her attention to detail and ability to pull all of the little thoughts and ideas together seamlessly.

She has phenomenal design sense, is extremely professional and ultimately wants to design a day that is truest to you. She made the hard decisions easy, always offered her honest opinion and kept our best interest in mind when choosing and working with vendors.

On the day of, she juggled our, our families and our bridal parties personalities with such grace and went way above and beyond in making sure that everything was as planned and things went smoothly -- which was no small task for our group.

I really can't say enough as to how wonderful Jen was to work with. When it comes to our wedding, she was THE best decision we made.

Hire her.

Jen Rios is even more amazing than you could possibly gather from reading her reviews alone. Open up a Brides of North Texas magazine or follow some of the most trending wedding accounts on insta and you will be sure to find her beautiful work plastered everywhere. At my first meeting with Jen I felt like I had a hard time putting my vision into words, but she knew exactly what I was talking about. To say she brought my wedding dreams to life is truly an understatement. She went above and beyond working with the best, friendliest, vendors in town to curate the most magical day. She has such creative and artistic vision and won't just rely on things that worked really well in the past. All of her weddings are UNIQUE and have a personal touch. I can honestly say that through the process of planning not only mine but two of my best friends weddings she has become a friend that I am so lucky to know!

honestly, I tried to cancel my first meeting with Jen because I looked her up and figured "SHE'S AMAZING. she's definitely out of my league!" I told her I had a about $35-40k budget and her weddings looked so great online that she MUST only take clients with budgets twice to three times that much. Ohhhh boy am I thankful she insisted I meet with her. Jen worked her magic and my wedding was on budget, beyond beautiful, and a dream come true. Jen has a design background, and her talents were evident in the mood boards she created which translated to unbelievable head table, details, and escort card display on wedding day. Her design skills are just as equal to her leadership and planning. Jen isn't going to be your sappy best friend in this process, but as a bride this a GOOD THING. Also, COUNTLESS vendors told me, without prompting, that Jen is their favorite planner to work with. These bakers, florists, DJs, catering people LOVE working with Jen. This means, if you hire Jen, they'll love working for you, and your wedding will go that much more smoothly. Jen provides a list of preferred vendors, which helps sort through the masses. But, she also was game for trying someone new! Worked great. Jen isn't a "my way or the highway" planner, but takes your ideas and puts them together. Jen was worth every penny about 2 months into the prices, but her value quadrupled wedding day. I have a pic of my mom sitting outside, soaking up the sun, sipping a margarita at 12:00 on my wedding day! My friends literally said "this is the most chill wedding prep ever!" why? JEN. Jen handled all the vendors on wedding day (and 6 weeks prior!), made our long planned vision a reality, and sorted all the details while we (bridal party, fam, bride/groom) got to soak in the joy of the day. No assigning tasks, folding napkins, or phone calls from vendors. Hiring Jen was the best decision I made in the wedding process. I am FOREVER grateful to her for making our wedding truly the best day!

I just had my wedding last Friday and Jen was my planner. From day one she was more than I could have ever imagined for a wedding planner. From her detailed planning checklist that helped me stay on track to her creative design projects she helped put together to give my wedding special elements... I couldn't dream of a better experience with a wedding planner. Jen is one of the kindest, most creative and responsible wedding planners in the business. She has worked with just about every vendor in the area and that helps so much when finding good businesses to work with for your wedding. I could go on and on about Jen... but the truth is, if you don't hire her you are doing it all wrong. My wedding went over so smoothly and Jen was there to take care of anything that came up so my husband and I could enjoy our day. I'm so thankful that I have gained a new friend out of Jen and can't wait to keep following her work and see more beautiful weddings she creates!

If you're looking for a wedding planner in DFW, look no further than Jen. I originally met with her for month-of coordination, however it became apparent that I needed more help than I originally thought. I travel a lot for my job, and boy am I glad that I ended up going with partial planning. She really helped me visualize and put into words what I wanted. She has lists full of absolutely amazing vendors, who went above and beyond for me and my husband.

Jen handled so many of the little things that would've made me stress out the month and week leading up to the wedding. She also thought of things that never would have crossed my mind, making my life so much easier! The day of the wedding, I didn't worry about a single thing. Jen managed all of the vendors coming in and setting up and checked in with me every hour or so while we were getting ready, then she walked me into the reception and I was overjoyed to say the least. Jen is professional, has a great eye for design, and is such a great planner and person!

Hiring Jen Rios Weddings for wedding coordination was the No. 1 best thing we did while planning our wedding — we literally could not have pulled it off without them. Our coordinator, Michelle, was extremely professional and knowledgable about the intricacies of planning a wedding. She thought of a million little things we would never have even considered and made sure every detail was accounted for.

Calling their coordination package a "day-of" service is selling it short — Michelle came on 6 weeks before the wedding date to take over vendor communication, design a floor plan for the venue and build out an incredibly detailed day-of timeline for both the wedding party and our vendors. She made sure to keep all of our vendors updated throughout those crucial last weeks, and that they arrived to the venue on time on the day of. Michelle and Jen herself also assisted with styling the venue, and they made all of our accessories and decor look beautiful.

Simply put, I cannot say enough good things about Michelle and the entire Jen Rios team. Their expertise and professionalism was completely invaluable to pulling off our special day.

Jen was great to work with for our wedding! She took over 6 weeks before the big day, with three meetings leading up to that to make sure we were on track. It was so nice to have her there to keep us on track, give perfect vendor recommendations, and plan/guide all details of the big day (tons I hadn't even thought of!). She was super detail oriented, and made our wedding day perfect. I highly recommend Jen and her team!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
