Best coordinator ever!!

If you're planning a wedding stop what you're doing and go hire Johanna and her team. I am not exaggerating when I say that hiring Johanna as our day-of-coordinator was the single best decision my husband and I made in our wedding planning process.

I can be very Type A (and have built a career in project management) so I was worried that I wouldn't be able to find a coordinator who could 1) handle my personality (admittedly I can be a lot) and 2) could be organized enough that I could truly turn my brain off for my wedding ceremony and just enjoy the day. Johanna absolutely blew us away. Not only is she one of the most organized people I've ever met, she's an incredibly kind and genuine human, and made us feel like we had a true teammate in this crazy wedding planning process.

When people tell you that no matter how much you prepare your wedding will never go exactly according to plan, they mean it. The MORNING of my wedding I received an email from my photobooth vendor that their equipment was broken and that they could no longer fulfill our contract. Johanna helped us secure a replacement vendor in a matter of hours and took care of the logistics so my husband and I could be fully present on our wedding day. We also experienced a crazy rain storm that disrupted a key period of our timeline and had to postpone our outdoor ceremony, but Johanna was there every step of the way taking caring of the last minute change of plans, advocating for us, and making sure the vision we had for our ceremony and reception was executed beautifully in the end.

I genuinely cannot say enough kind things about Johanna. If you want a knowledgeable professional who also feels like a friend you've known for years to help plan or coordinate your wedding or event, hire JLM Design & Events. You will not regret it. :)

Sincerely, a happy bride.

The best team!!

I could not recommend JLM more!! Johanna and her team went above and beyond throughout our entire wedding weekend! I never once had to worry about set up, clean up, or design! Her & her team were so kind & helpful to not only us but to our guest. Johanna made wedding planning so smooth & stress free. She was always organized and always available with clear communication. Besides being the best coordinator she became like family to us, always reaching out & checking in on us whether it was regarding wedding planning or just our personal lives. If you are a bride to be I would HIGHLY suggest hiring this team for the best wedding day!

JLM Design & Events Made My Wedding a Stress-Free, Organized Dream

I can't stress enough how stress-free and organized my wedding was with JLM Design and Events by my side. Our wedding was an absolute dream. It was orderly and smooth as we were able to walk 150 people outside, inside, outside, and inside again. It never felt like I was being rushed or yanked around. After the wedding, I had ten separate people come up to me to express how seamless and organized the wedding was. It had nothing to do with me. It was all Johanna and her brilliant organization, experience, and foresight that made our day so special. I also had multiple vendors express to me how wonderful of a job Johanna did in terms of handling contracts, getting information to them, and providing day-of timelines. I can imagine that that is a huge compliment, as JLM Design & Events has stood out among all of the other wedding planners that are out in the field. Finally, I have to say that Johanna is incredibly flexible when it comes to having meetings and visiting potential venues. As an out-of-state bride, I was incredibly grateful for that. If any bride-to-be comes to me, I will always suggest JLM Design & Events.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
