Best planner ever

I worked with LJ events (specifically Jamie) for almost two years leading up to my wedding. I truly cannot say enough great things about my experience working with Jamie! From the first meeting to our last she was so organized, on top of everything, easy going, a great communicator, always available, and knew all the ins and out of weddings / vendors in the Philly area (and more). She was always quick to respond and super informative. What was really so awesome was how much she was able to listen to what I was looking for, really understand and appreciate my vision and priorities for all the different elements of my wedding, and helped me to make that vision come alive. She really was able to understand my own style and vibe and used this to help find the perfect vendors that would help make my wedding everything I wanted, while also helping keep things in budget. She set up and organized every meeting with our vendors (always with flexibility) and was always able to help advocate for what I was looking. Her extensive knowledge of everything and anything weddings was so helpful when it came to making decisions, whether big or small, and I was always able to fully rely on her to help assist me when I wasn't sure of what I wanted or what to do. As the wedding day approached Jamie kept the entire process stress free and literally made everything so easy and enjoyable. She communicated with myself, my fiancé, both of our families, and more, to make sure everyone was supported as we all got prepared for the big day. She took special care to understand tough family situations (including divorce, long distance family members, etc.) and navigated these so well keeping everyone happy but always prioritizing the bride/groom’s priorities. Jamie literally was there for every single step of the wedding process and made everything so easy and enjoyable. On the day of the wedding me and my fiancé, our families included, did not have to worry about a SINGLE thing. Jamie and her team had everything covered and worked the entire day to make sure everything ran seamlessly. She thought of literally everything to make sure the day was absolutely perfect. My wedding weekend and day was the BEST day ever and was everything I hoped and dreamed it would be. There is no doubt this is thanks to Jamie and LJ events. Jamie was the true MVP of the entire wedding process and I cannot imagine pulling any of this off without her. I cannot overstate the value of having this team help plan your wedding. They are the BEST.

Best planner ever

How do I even begin to explain how amazing and fantastic Jamie is?!?! I will be eternally grateful that we found her and she was available to be our wedding planner. In short, because of her, we had the perfect Philly wedding day. I don't know how she does it, but this woman is always available and knows literally everything—no matter what question or concern I had, she always knew how to handle it AND answered me back almost immediately every time. It put me and my mom at such ease knowing that we had Jamie to lean on throughout the planning process, and ESPECIALLY on the day of my wedding. The whole weekend was absolutely perfect. I cannot recommend her enough!!

Jamie is the best in the business!

I recently worked with Jamie Nadeau for my wedding and I cannot say enough amazing things about her and her team. From start to finish, Jamie had an answer for all of my questions. Jamie helped us to stay on top of everything right from the beginning, including helping us to secure some of the best hair, makeup, videography, invitation, and photography services in the Philadelphia area! As we got closer to the wedding date, Jamie provided us with the most organized and helpful timelines and checklists. She made sure we stayed on track and on time for all deadlines, and continued to answer any and all questions we had throughout the planning period with patience and grace. She is so knowledgeable and has a solution for everything. In the week leading up to the wedding, Jamie helped to guide me through all of the final details and made sure to cross all of the t’s and dot all of the i’s. And on wedding day, she was truly amazing, as was her team. She made sure that everything went absolutely perfectly and she perfectly timed the entire day. I was so calm and happy the entire day, all because I knew Jamie had every single detail under control. She also managed to wrangle a very chatty 16 person wedding party, and keep them in check the entire day. During the ceremony, Jamie continued to make sure everything went perfectly, and was there at every turn to make sure we were having the best time. Jamie truly created the best night of my and my husband’s lives, and she was such a joy and pleasure to work with throughout the entire experience. I will truly miss working with her, and I genuinely cannot recommend her enough. Run, don’t walk to secure Jamie as your planner!
