Our wedding was nothing short of extraordinary — an exquisite celebration of love, family, culture, and impeccable design — and we have our incredible Jenna Culley and her amazingly dedicated team to thank for bringing every detail of our vision to life - Our Golden Hour.

From the very beginning, they understood that our wedding was more than a beautiful event. It was the coming together of two rich cultures, Italian and Persian, and three families, each with their own traditions, histories, and cherished moments. They approached every element with an extraordinary level of thoughtfulness, sophistication, and care. Calls were answered or promptly returned — even on evenings and weekends. No question was too small, no detail too insignificant, and we always felt completely supported.

Our day began with a beautiful, blessed church ceremony, followed by an elegant and deeply meaningful Persian Sofreh Aghd ceremony. It was their very first Sofreh Aghd — and you would never have known it. They immersed themselves in the tradition, understood the significance of every detail, and brought it to life with such grace, beauty, and authenticity. It felt completely bespoke to us.

From there, guests were welcomed into two stunning happy hour areas before entering our dream reception at the Four Seasons — transformed with the most breathtaking florals and exquisite details. Every space felt intentional, elevated, and uniquely ours. Our “Golden Hour” was captured to perfection.

No stone was left unturned. Not one detail was overlooked.

Every transition was seamless. Every element was intentional. Every detail — from the grandest design moments to the smallest finishing touches — was flawlessly executed. The result was not simply a beautiful wedding, but a completely immersive experience for everyone fortunate enough to be there. Again our Golden Hour.

Our guests truly had the experience of a lifetime. They felt the beauty of both cultures, the warmth of our families, and the joy of our celebration in every moment.

And perhaps most importantly, we got to be fully present as bride and groom. We never had to worry about what was happening behind the scenes. We could simply look around, take it all in, dance, laugh, celebrate, and savor every extraordinary moment of the wedding we had always dreamed of.

Jenna Culley and her team brought together two cultures, three families, and one unforgettable celebration with a level of elegance, precision, and artistry that exceeded anything we could have imagined.

It was sophisticated. It was seamless. It was breathtaking. It was deeply personal.

And it was, quite simply, our dream wedding — executed flawlessly.

We will forever be grateful for the incredible talent, dedication, and passion that went into creating the most beautiful beginning to our life together. ✨🤍

First, there is a true and very present reason why Jenna Culley Events has a 98% 5-star rating: they genuinely care about you and your event. JCE puts you first—always—and if something isn’t right, they will make it exactly the way you want it. They are with you every step of the way, through thick and thin.

My team of planners started with me when I had almost no concrete ideas and stayed with me all the way to the last song…and even getting wine out of my wedding dress. They are a full-service team who quickly begin to feel like family. Communication is quick, kind, and incredibly helpful. You can tell that the entire JCE team wants everything to be exactly as it should be.

During wedding week, my planner, Sara, and I were completely ready to rock and roll, and on the day-of she had every single detail handled. My only job was to be the bride, and Sara and her team took care of everything in sight—right down to having a drink ready for me the moment I walked in. They checked in not only on me, but also on my husband, my bridal party, my family, and even our other vendors. They truly are a super-team, and they made the day absolutely wonderful. I honestly wanted to take them all home with me!

There are not enough words to describe how phenomenal the JCE team is. If you are looking for a wedding planner who will make your day stress-free, fun, seamless, and filled with support—as well as someone who becomes your personal cheerleader—this is the team you’re looking for. You will not regret it.

Jenna Culley Events were a joy to work with, they made the planning process SO easy and fun for us (special thank you to Heidi and Paige!). There are things that we would never have thought could be within our budget that they helped us make happen (like a harpist for our ceremony, such a dream!).

The vendors they found for us - hair, makeup, photography, florals, cake - were incredible, professional and kind. JCE taking care of the logistics and timing with the vendors was HUGE for us and allowed us and our families to not worry about a single thing on the big day. Paige, Sandra and Erin made sure everything flowed smoothly. There is absolutely nothing about our day that we would change or have done differently, it was perfect and so ‘us’, and that is definitely thanks to Jenna Culley Events.

Jenna and her team went above and beyond our expectations, not only on our wedding day but throughout the entire planning process. We were fortunate to work with many of the staff, including Heidi, Erin, Breeyen, and of course, Jenna. I truly cannot recommend Jenna Culley Events enough!

Jenna surrounds herself with the most talented people and the best vendors in Minneapolis, and every single one of her suggestions exceeded our expectations. The team’s dedication, creativity, and attention to detail brought our dream to life in a way we could never have imagined.

As out-of-towners, my husband and I never felt stressed during the planning process because Jenna and her team had everything under control. With a guest count of over 350, it was so important to stay organized and on top of all the moving pieces and the JCE team ensured we stayed on track every step of the way. They were always available to talk through the process and find solutions that worked best for us.

I still look at our photos daily, in awe of how they took my Pinterest boards and transformed them into something even better than I imagined. Thank you, Jenna and team, for creating the wedding day of our dreams, an experience we will cherish forever!

We hired Heidi at Jenna Culley Events for our October 2024 wedding. This review is a little delayed because I am still in disbelief and awe at the event they helped to create for us. I was never someone who had a "vision" of what I wanted and even had a hard time articulating my desires for the event. Somehow, Heidi was able to understand what I was trying to depict to create the most beautiful event possible. It was genuinely more beautiful than I could have imagined. During the day of the event and for months after, our guests have given very high reviews of our event and were so amazed by the work of JCE on that day. If I had known my wedding could be as stunning as what it was, I would've been dreaming about it from day one. The process was so fun and EASY! Heidi absolutely saved our life in the process and helped manage even last-minute issues, so that my wedding week was relaxing! I couldn't have been more calm during the planning process and I owe that all to Heidi and the JCE team. My husband and I are out-of-state and never had to worry about a single thing. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend JCE to everyone I know and I wish I had another event in the works just to get the opportunity to work with them again. Thank you guys so much!

We had the pleasure of working with Jenna Culley Events, and specifically Liz, for our wedding day, and we couldn't be happier with our experience! Liz went above and beyond to ensure that every detail was perfect, making our day truly special. From the initial planning stages to the final moments of our celebration, her dedication and expertise shone through.

She was incredibly organized, attentive, and proactive, handling everything with ease and grace. Liz’s creative ideas and calming presence helped us feel relaxed and confident throughout the day. We received countless compliments from our guests about how seamlessly everything came together.

If you're looking for a wedding planner who genuinely cares and delivers exceptional service, we highly recommend Jenna Culley Events and Liz. Thank you for making our wedding day unforgettable!

I work with a lot of vendors and suppliers in my day job, so I know exceptional customer service when I see it. Jenna and her team were FLAWLESS start to finish and made the process of planning a wedding fun! Our wedding was very complicated and unique - Jenna's team really listened and got to know us as people. We felt like their only client. Their stellar reputation also assures you get the best of the best treatment from everyone they work with. Just go with Jenna Culley, you'll thank me.

Jenna and her team rocked out 80th Anniversary Party! They made our event so memorable down to the smallest details. Jenna and her team were easy to work with and very responsive. I would recommend them to anyone!!

Heidi and the JCE team are the absolute best, would choose them again and again! They were extremely professional, on top of everything, Heidi picked up and took on tasks before we could even think to do them, and the full staff the day of made sure every detail was perfect down to making sure we got to try the appetizers and dessert. If you are thinking about going with a wedding planner it's JCE or bust!

Hiring Jenna Culley Events was the best decision we made. Working with Heidi allowed for us to plan a successful and memorable wedding weekend in St. Paul from Atlanta in just under 9 months. Heidi’s “only handle it once” approach to organization and planning is very much in alignment with how we operate. We never felt like an agenda was being pushed; instead, she was completely receptive to digging in and executing OUR vision. From assisting us in handling vendor communications (I think we had 20+ overall), to making sure our day-of went smoothly, we were fully covered. Because of her decades of industry knowledge, not only did we have a gorgeous wedding, we also enjoyed the planning process. We cannot thank you enough, Heidi!
