Highly recommend Jenn and her team!

We had the pleasure of hiring Jenn with Knot Your Average Events to step in and ensure our big day went smoothly! Our wedding ceremony and reception was this past Sunday in Warrenton, NC and there were lots of moving parts/multiple locations. She was responsive, organized, and full of energy throughout the planning process and on our wedding day. Jenn’s experience put us at ease and we are grateful to have had her expertise for our special day. Highly recommend Knot Your Average Events for your next event, especially a wedding!

So amazing

Jenn was AMAZING!! I just don't know what I would have done without her. At first I wasn't sure I would need a planner, thinking I could do it all, well I am so glad that we hired her. She was super helpful in all aspects of the planning process. There just aren't enough words to describe how thankful I was to have her as our planner.

Couldn't have done it without her!

So thankful for Jen and her team. She was so helpful and available to me every step of the way. My wedding day ran so smoothly. Not sure if it was smooth behind the scenes but I never knew any different. I did not have any worries on my wedding day which is so surprising for someone who has anxiety. I could not be happier with our experience.

Jen also planned out our honeymoon at Sandals and she created the best experience. Her recommendations were perfect and tailored to us. My husband and I cannot wait to go back. We will come to Jen for every Sandals experience in our future.

The best of the best!

Jenn and her team planned and designed our 12/4/2021 wedding. Let me start by saying that I had an idea of what I wanted my dream day to be but had difficulty articulating it. I knew the feel I wanted, but I had no idea where to even begin to create it. Then we found Jenn! She was able to take my feel and turn it into my dream! Jenn and her team created something you see in the movies. They went above and beyond. Jenn truly wanted my big day to be special and cared about it as it were her own. I cannot thank Knot Your Average Events enough for making our wedding day nothing short of perfect! Her expertise, creativity, and detail are well beyond expectation. Jenn, as a person is also just an amazing woman to work with! I will forever be singing their praise! Did I mention Jenn made it snow at our wedding?!

The absolute best decision we made was to hire KYAE

I met Jennifer at a Bridal showcase and instantly loved her energy. I had gone to this showcase looking for things other than a planner did not think I would hire an event planner. She started talking to us about how we could feel like guests at our own wedding and the thought sounded nice, especially after all the planning that was coming our way. Long story short, we decided to hire Knot Your Average Events and could not be happier with that decision. We were married on 8/21/21 and people have asked me since what the best investment was, and I could not mean it more than when I say Jennifer and her team at KYAE. Leading up to the wedding she was always easy to reach if I had questions and went on an on-site visit with me to look at the venue. This was helpful because she asked all the questions I had never thought to ask which saved me down the road with planning. The day of the wedding is where Jennifer and her team really went above and beyond. They took all my boxes of decorations and ideas and turned them into the most beautifully decorated venue while I relaxed and drank mimosas with my bridesmaids. They were flawless when it started raining outside (it was an outdoor wedding) and stuck with me as I decided to push the ceremony back a little to wait out the rain. They kept the guests happy while waiting and didn’t miss a beat when the rain stopped to dry off the chairs and help me to have the wedding I had been dreaming of. I could go on and on about Jennifer and the amazing staff she brought to my wedding but the bottom line is she delivered on her promise. I did not have to stress about anything on my wedding day and was able to enjoy every moment to the fullest. I even had a surprise at the end of the night as they had taken left over food and wine to my husband’s and my cabin and decorated it with flowers and tea lights. I was constantly surprised by the thought and care they put into my day and recommend them as much as I possibly can.

Everything ran smoothly with KYAE

Jenn and her team at Knot Your Average Events was the first vendor we chose after we got engaged. Being new to NC, I didn’t know where to begin I’m picking vendors and a venue. Jenn met with us many times to get to know us and provide suggestions for the best vendors. She recommended the perfect venue, which in itself I think was worth the money to hire her. We ending up choosing the venue, dj, officiants, photographers, florist, and lighting/draping vendor from her recommendations and they all turned out wonderful. Now that was all part of the planning that Jenn offers, she also does day of coordination which I HIGHLY recommend!!! She arrived at the venue before any other vendor and facilitated the set up, activities during the ceremony/reception, and the tear down. I can not imagine trying to do all of that while getting ready in the morning (or having my mom and guests do all of that). I was so nice to just trust that she had it all handled and enjoy my night. During the reception she worked with the dj and photographers to have each dance, cake cutting, other activities like loco hour go off without a hitch. Then when the night was over and we were all exhausted, she packed up everything and even put the things I wanted to keep in our car. A little bonus I found at the end of the night was that our hotel room on property was decorated with twinkle lights and rose petals for after the wedding. It is little special touches like this that set Jenn apart from the others. If you are debating getting a wedding planner, I say it is well worth it and if you are thinking about hiring Knot Your Average Events, you will not be disappointed!

Mother of the Bride

There are no words to express our thanks and appreciation to Jennifer Ball and her amazing team for the awesome job in planning, coordination and carrying out of our daughter’s wedding. The date was moved three times due to the pandemic. Jenn snd all the vendors moved with us. There were tears shed thru the process but all dried by Jenn as she encouraged us thru each move. It was the dream wedding we wanted and, on our side, was seamless. Jenn snd her team are true professionals and it was apparent as everything was on time and flawless. The wedding day was all about the bridal party. We never had to worry about details. We brought a lot of personal items that were staged in ways we hadn’t even thought of. We highly recommend KYAE for any events or Sandals travel needs!

Beyond Amazing!

My husband and I got married June 15th, 2019, and I can wholeheartedly say that Jennifer Ball is absolutely magical. Not a week has passed that my husband and I haven’t talked about Jenn, or something Jenn did for us. She planned our wedding and our honeymoon, kept us sane, continuously reminded us of what WE wanted from the beginning (which is so important after everyone tells you how “they would do it”), and truly— countless other things I most likely will never know about. Jenn was SO good to us— we hired her three (?) times I think...(oh the joy of families trying to change your plans) and she welcomed us back with open arms every time we ran back to her. In fact, from the moment we met her, she said, “I know we are going to work together!” We knew it too, and we are beyond thankful that we did. Our wedding would not have been what it was without her. This woman bent over backwards in every possible way to make our wedding OURS, and I don’t think words will ever be able to express the amount of love and gratitude we have in our hearts for her. Coming from me— someone who had to please three sets of very different parents (and traditional grandmothers)— Jenn still made it possible for us to have the wedding we wanted, and one the family also loved. Tell me that’s not magical! To be honest, I wish I’d given Jenn the reigns from the beginning and used all of her vendors— the few I chose were good, but she KNOWS what she’s doing; she doesn’t just recommend anyone. I attended a friend’s wedding (they hired her after attending ours) and they let her run with it...and it was positively wonderful! The point is, Jenn carried me through the months of planning and my family being...difficult (to say the least). She relentlessly answered all of the questions and emails and phone calls, and not once was she anything but loving and attentive. Look, all you need to know is this— you will be making a huge mistake if you don’t hire Jennifer Ball. She is the absolute best choice for weddings, events, and travel... and the best choice if you want to keep your sanity, and your vision, while planning any of these events.

Jennifer is one of the best planners I have had the honor of working with as an officiant. She is creative. She is detail-oriented. Her personality puts everyone at ease while still making sure every aspect of the ceremony and refection goes off as planned. She has the respect of her colleagues and is a leader in our industry.
