Our wedding was September 2nd! My husband and I planned our entire wedding and wanted to have someone there to oversee the day and make sure everything went as planned. That is how I found Jen, Kyle, and her team. When I initially met with Jen, I instantly got a good feeling about her. I felt like she would command the day and my wedding was safe with her. I was right. Even though I hired Jen to be a "day-of-coordinator", she was so helpful leading up to the big day! A few months before my wedding, we had issues with my photographer/videographer and ended up having to find a new one. Jen sent us a list of reputable photographers and videographers shortly after, and we couldn't be happier with our new choices. Jen also provided an itinerary, coordinated with all vendors the weeks leading up, and helped to make sure I knew nothing of what went wrong that day. Please book Jen for your wedding day, I promise you will not be disappointed!

My review is far delayed, but we had a absolutely wonderful experience with Jennifer Alexa Events for our wedding! We had Jennifer and Kyle on point for us for day of coordination. I have to say, the team blew me away with their planning ability, thoroughness, foresight of issues, and attention to detail. We had a big Indian wedding with 320 people, and so many small details to manage. Despite never having coordinated an Indian wedding, Jen and Kyle made every effort to understand our traditions to ensure that everything happened with the right people at the right time. They managed the crowd and vendors very well, and ensured that our families were taken care of during the events. The team helped us get the venue set up with the other vendors, coordinated the incoming deliveries, managed the schedules of all the events, and managed the tear down all while we were dancing the night away with our guests.
Bob and I couldn't be happier with the Jennifer Alexa team! They made our day seamless and perfect, and we strongly recommend their services!

The best moments of your wedding are sure to come to life with Jen. For full disclosure, Jen is my best friend, was my matron of honor, and I explicitly told her to not work during the wedding. I should've known better.

Standing on the sidelines is not how Jen works.

To put it simply, my wedding was exactly what I wanted. Friends and family came from across the country to Chicago on the hottest day in June to have a great time, and Jen was 100% a HUGE part of making that happen. From the organization of vendors to figuring out a crazy situation with an uncounted for +1 guest, every detail was covered. (And an extra shout out to her husband, Justin, who is a SAINT!) I severely underestimated what all goes into planning a wedding and all those little apps and spreadsheets just don't cut it. Also, don't stress out about tablecloths.

I'm mainly writing this because everyone needs a Jen in their life- supremely joyful, optimistic, whip smart, outgoing, and a powerhouse of a lawyer as well. When you meet her, you'll get it. The reviews below and on other sites will tell you the same story- if you're getting married, hosting an event, or just simply throwing an amazing 4th birthday party, you'll definitely want Jennifer Alexa Event Planning to be on your team.
