JMEP - Dream Team

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Jennifer Matteo and her amazing team! From start to finish, they were absolutely incredible. Jenn took our vision and made it a reality beyond our expectations. Not to mention, she took the reins when Milton came and cancelled our original date. Week of, she called all vendors and made our new date possible. Her attention to detail, creativity, and organizational skills were unmatched, ensuring that every aspect of the day ran smoothly. Her team was equally outstanding — professional, supportive, and incredibly efficient. They were all so responsive, always available to answer questions, and so patient with all our requests. On the big day, we didn’t have to worry about a single thing. We could fully enjoy the moment knowing they had everything under control. We are so grateful for all their hard work and dedication, and we truly loved working with them. Jenn is one of a kind and a true master at her craft. Would recommend 100 times over. If you want your day to be beyond your wildest dreams, choose JMEP.

The Powerhouse Team everyone deserves

Hiring JMEP was, without question, the best decision we made for my daughter’s wedding. From the very beginning, Jennifer (owner and lead planner) and Megan (creative director and lead planner) brought an unmatched combination of creativity, professionalism, and calm reassurance that made the entire experience not only smooth but truly enjoyable.

As the mother of the bride, my greatest hope was that my daughter could savor every moment of this once-in-a-lifetime experience without the burden of stress. Thanks to Jennifer, that hope became a reality. Every phone call with her was like a breath of fresh air—her warmth, positivity, and confidence lifted any worries off our shoulders. She had an incredible way of addressing every question or concern with grace, leaving us feeling cared for and completely at ease.

Jennifer and Megan took the time to truly listen to my daughter’s vision. They didn’t just plan an event; they took her dreams and thoughtfully brought them to life, elevating every detail with their artistic eye and impeccable sense of style. And it wasn’t just about the aesthetic—though the wedding was breathtakingly beautiful—it was about the feeling they created. Every choice, every element, every moment reflected my daughter’s personality and love story in a way that felt authentic, meaningful, and deeply personal.

One of the most remarkable parts of working with JMEP was the way Jennifer assembled an incredible team of vendors who not only excelled in their craft but worked together seamlessly. We came to affectionately call them the dream team because they operated like a well-oiled machine, each one bringing passion, talent, and care to their role. From the florist to the photographer, every person was hand-picked to align with our vision and values, and it showed.

On the day of the wedding, I was struck by the complete sense of peace I felt. We didn’t have to lift a finger or worry about a single detail. Jennifer and Megan had it all handled with such quiet confidence and expertise that we were able to be fully present, soaking in every joyful moment. My daughter was beaming the entire day—not once distracted by logistics or stress. In fact, she called me from her honeymoon just to tell me how perfect everything was, how every detail surpassed her dreams. That phone call was the moment I knew: JMEP didn’t just plan a beautiful wedding, they created memories we will cherish forever.

Throughout the process, Jennifer and Megan became more than planners; they felt like family. Their kindness, dedication, and genuine love for what they do radiated through every interaction. They aren’t just professionals executing a service—they are artists, advocates, counselors, and friends. Their heart for their clients is undeniable, and their desire to serve goes far beyond expectations.

If you’re looking for a team that not only creates stunning, unforgettable events but also walks alongside you with empathy, care, and unwavering support, look no further than JMEP. Jennifer and Megan are truly in a league of their own, and we can’t wait for the next opportunity to work with them again. They made my daughter’s wedding a dream come true—and for that, we are forever grateful.

Hire jmep immediately!

Don’t make the mistake I did and wait to hire Jenn until the month of your wedding!! We stumbled upon her services through her husband’s business, UpStaged, and I’m so grateful we did. Oh and definitely check out his work out too 😉.

I can’t even describe the amount of stress lifted off my shoulders after we hired Jenn. She is the definition of boss babe. She gets sh*t done. Effectively and efficiently. There was ~ 3 weeks left until the wedding when we hired her and Jenn immediately took all our unfinished plans, completed them, and tied them all up with a pretty bow 🎁. Her eye for detail is unmatched.

Something that stood out to me was Jenn’s extremely prompt responses to emails, phone calls, and texts. I know she must have a lot going on, but she was never too busy to respond. No matter what time of day!

Jenn helps with everything related to your wedding. Coordinating vendors, timeline creation, styling recommendations, outfit changes, etc. There’s nothing she can’t handle!!!

On the day of the wedding, there was not an ounce of stress or confusion on my part. I was 100% sure Jenn would handle every situation that came up and ensure my husband and I enjoyed our day entirely. Even now, after the wedding is over, she has still been helping us with things!! True gem.

Thank you Jenn for all your hard work and helping me bring my wedding dreams to life!!🫶🏽
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
