We love Jennifer!

We hired Jennifer for our October 2023 wedding in August of 2022. She was with us every step of the planning process. She helped us with unexpected snafus and helped bring our vision to life. What I appreciated most about Jennifer was her flexibility- I threw a lot of things at her and she was always able to adapt and execute. We highly recommend Jennifer and we can’t thank her enough for her help with the wedding of our dreams!

Dawn Ranch Wedding

We had the pleasure of working with Jennifer Stone for our wedding on October 7th at Dawn Ranch in Guerneville CA and we truly couldn’t have made it happen without her. Jennifer was an absolute gem throughout the entire planning process via countless emails, texts, calls, site visits and zoom meetings. Her vendor network in Sonoma county was exceedingly helpful at getting things done efficiently and affordably which we simply wouldn’t have been able to do on our own. She understood our vision from day 1 and was able to make it a reality. We hardly had to lift a finger the weekend of our wedding so we got to truly enjoy every minute.

She truly exceeded our expectations, and we are so grateful for her role in making our special day unforgettable. Thank you Jennifer!! Hard to put into words how grateful we are.

Perfect planning even from afar!

I can't say enough about Jennifer Stone and the professional and personal service she provided to my family. Planning a wedding for our only daughter, from Florida was something I was a little nervous about until we met her. I had interviewed several planners when we first got started, and I'm so thrilled that we picked her. I had an immediate connection with Jennifer and felt confident that she could pull it off without me losing my mind in the process. Right away, she arranged a meeting with my daughter and her fiancee to get to know them and capture the vision from their point of view. They hit it off as well, and I knew this was going to be a great partnership.

Her outstanding reputation in the community stood out to me, and it proved to be an asset. Whenever I was in town for a visit, and I'd mention I was working with Jennifer, mountains seemed to move.

Jennifer really listened to what we were envisioning for our special day and was able to keep our focus there the entire time. She knew how to keep me within my budget, advising me on where my money was best spent and where it wasn't. My husband especially appreciated this.

Jennifers communication with the venue and the other vendors was the key to success. I loved not having to handle any of that. We hired them, and she did the rest.

Jennifer was so patient and so kind to me. I'd occasionally throw out some crazy ideas (that's the hardest part about not being close enough to the venue when you're a visual person **and a control freak LOL!), and she knew right away whether that was going to work or not. She was always very upfront and honest with us and always super respectful. It was so great to have her to talk things through with. We had a lot of laughs, a few cries (she's a mom too, so she gets our emotional state), and she was readily available to me from beginning to end. I would so highly recommend her if you need a wedding or any other kind of event planner. Don't worry if you live on the other side of the country like we do (we are Florida residents) she will not only make it happen, but you'll have fun in the process, and she will execute it all in a way you'll never forget.
