Katelyn M. Married on 09/25/2021Phenomenal experience with Jennifer!
Hiring Jen as our day-of coordinator was hands down the best decision we made when planning our wedding! We were introduced to Jen by a close friend who had hired her to coordinate her wedding and I knew first-hand how great she was to deal with. Jen was very understanding and accommodating when we postponed our wedding a year due to COVID-19 and then expertly helped us navigate the difficulties of having a wedding during a pandemic. Despite us only hiring Jen as our day-of coordinator, she provided great advice in the final weeks leading up to the wedding and advocated for us when some of our vendors tried to make last minute changes. A few weeks prior to our wedding, Jen met us at our venue to do a walk-through and discuss the layout. She also talked us through how to create our day-of schedule and provided suggestions to ensure the day went smoothly. Jen was extremely communicative and responsive!
The day before our wedding Jen met us at the venue a few hours before the rehearsal to do a final walk-through, discuss decor set-up and last minute logistics. Given there was a lot of rain the day before our wedding, Jen suggested we relocate our ceremony location to a pavilion onsite to avoid the muddy grass and it ended up having an even better view of the lake! Jen expertly managed our rehearsal and provided the much needed direction for our family and wedding party.
The day of our wedding, Jen was there to greet all of our vendors and let them know where to set up. We had an issue with a missing piece of equipment that was rented for our wedding and Jen worked with the caterer to troubleshoot and find a replacement piece, doing this all in the background so as not to stress us out. When the caterer started a small fire in the kitchen causing the fire alarm to go off during our reception, Jen jumped right in to identify the issue and spoke with the fire department when they arrived onsite. She even brought down our niece and nephew to get some photos on the fire truck! Even after the wedding day was over, Jen contacted the rental company to request a refund for the broken equipment, which we got as well as an additional discount for the hassle.
If you're looking for a wedding planner or day-of coordinator, you should definitely reach out to Jen! Our wedding was everything we imagined and would not have been as stress-free without her. -

Katie D. Married on 09/18/2021Highly Recommend!
If you’re thinking about hiring a wedding coordinator/planner - you should look into booking Otto Events now! Jen was amazing and we couldn’t have pulled off our dream wedding without her! My mom and I spoke with Jen on the phone for an initial consultation and she told us that something goes wrong at every wedding and with her there the day of - we won’t even have to know about it! We had a DIY type venue and Jen coordinated all the vendors and set up the day of which was a lot of work! Everyone from the photographer to guests commented on how great she was! I heard after the fact that our bartender, who works at the venue often, commented to my father the morning of the wedding that it didn’t look like we were ready for the wedding that day. But when Jen arrived a little while later she had everything whipped into shape somehow and it was beautiful and we were ready to start on time!
She also helped run the rehearsal for us and walked through all the decorations the day before and I couldn’t be happier with our wedding day - it was perfect! Jen is very personable and fun to be around and I was so happy to have her as such a key part of our day! You won’t regret hiring Otto Events! -

Jenn was more than a wedding planner - she was a life saver! My daughter's wedding had a last minute snafu - after already suffering "Pandemic Issues" where we had to change the date, and ultimately, the venue, 3 times in a year! With 120 guests scheduled to arrive, two days before (due to torrential downpours that flooded my daughter's yard) what was to be a backyard wedding had to be switched to a "front yard/cul-de-sac event". (Oh, and I did I fail to mention? - Hurricane Henri was due to arrive the day AFTER the wedding!) Jenn was able to orchestrate everything right down to the littlest detail. Nothing seemed to phase her while the rest of us were losing our minds. Her professionalism, as well as cheerful and positive demeanor, helped all of us that day.
Without her the wedding never would have happened. We are so grateful that she was recommended to us and we decided to hire her.
Jenn and Otto Events are the best little wedding planning company in Central Mass!!!

I've had the pleasure of working with Jennifer during a wedding I photographed for a beautiful couple in the New Hampshire mountains at Longlook Farm. Everything was meticulously coordinated and every detail executed to perfection! I highly recommend Jennifer to brides that want to ease the stress of wedding planning or just don't have the time to fumble with all the details. Jennifer will take a ton of weight off your shoulders, and I could tell she did by how at-ease my couple felt the day of the wedding, they could relax knowing that Jenn is taking care of all the details! Everything was so fun to photograph!
