The Best Investment We Made for Our Wedding Day

If you're getting married, hiring Jackie is one of the best decisions you can make. She was absolutely amazing from start to finish and truly became the biggest help throughout our entire wedding journey. There is no way we could have pulled everything together without her.

Jackie is incredibly knowledgeable about every aspect of wedding planning and coordination. Not only does she know the industry inside and out, but she also has an extensive network of trusted contacts and vendors, which was invaluable throughout the planning process. Whenever we had a question or needed a recommendation, she always had an answer or knew exactly who to call.

On our wedding day, Jackie was professional, organized, calm, and completely on top of every detail. She allowed us to relax and actually enjoy our day because we knew everything was in capable hands. Her expertise, guidance, and support made the entire process so much easier and less stressful.

She was worth every penny and then some. We truly could not have done it without her, and we are so grateful for everything she did. I would wholeheartedly recommend Jackie to anyone who is getting married. She is an outstanding wedding coordinator, and having her on your team will be one of the best investments you make for your wedding day.

Smooth Tie the Knots was the Perfect Partner for Us!

Jackie Raez at Smooth Tie the Knots was the reason we could enjoy our wedding weekend! We had a micro-wedding so didn't think a Wedding Planner was necessary - we would have been so wrong!
In the timing leading up to our weekend she helped with vendors (we were planning a destination wedding to be closer to family, so her contacts here was invaluable - and her knowledge of what should be in each contract made the day-of run so smoothly).
Her planning tools made it possible for me to take each decision a step at a time so we could concentrate on the fun things like picking the perfect music, food, and dress.
And day before and day-of coordination allowed our rehearsal, wedding, and reception to be something my groom and I could EXPERIENCE!
Thank you, Jackie, for making our day wonderful!

Wonderful wedding planner that caters to your needs

We chose Jackie with Smooth Tie the Knots for my wedding at Lanier Islands in Buford, GA because we were looking for a wedding planner/coordinator that knew our venue well, would be able to provide guidance and keep us on track over a long engagement period and long distance wedding planning, and would be able to manage and coordinate lots of moving pieces with divorced family dynamics on wedding day. Jackie did all that and more. She was kind, warm, and gracious from day one. She was extremely organized and helped us think of things we wouldn't have kept in mind otherwise. Her price options are reasonable and allow you to cater her options to your needs. She made me feel so calm on wedding day knowing that she had everything under control and would vouch for us no matter what. Smooth Tie the Knots is a fantastic choice for a wedding planner/coordinator, and I cannot recommend her enough!

The Best!!

I could not have had the wedding of my dreams without Jackie and Smooth Tie the Knot! From the moment I met Jackie, I knew she was going to make the wedding planning process so much easier — and she absolutely did. Throughout every month of planning, she took so much stress off my shoulders and helped bring my vision to life perfectly.
My husband and I are beyond grateful for everything she and her team did for us. Not only was Jackie amazing to work with, but all of my bridesmaids absolutely loved her and her team as well! They were organized, supportive, calming, and truly cared about making our day special.
I cannot recommend Jackie and Smooth Tie the Knot enough. Thank you for helping make our wedding the best day of our lives!

From night shift chaos to wedding day perfection

Jackie was truly the backbone of our wedding planning process. As night shift nurses with impossible schedules, we had no idea how we were going to pull everything together—but she made it feel effortless. She worked around our crazy hours, was always available to talk, and somehow kept everything organized and on track. Her calm, supportive presence made such a difference, and we genuinely don’t know what we would have done without her. We are so grateful for everything she did to make our day perfect.

Highly Recommend STTK!

We would highly recommend using Smooth Tie the Knots (STTK) as your wedding planner/coordinator. We found Jackie through a recommendation from our neighbor, who used STTK for both of their daughter's weddings. We went with the Crystal Partial Planning Package, and it made a tremendous difference in our planning process. Jackie kept us on track and on time with her clear expertise and calm demeanor. Jackie connected us with great vendors in her expansive network, and together, the wedding went off without a hitch. If you are considering a wedding planning/coordinating service, STTK would be an excellent choice. It was money well spent, and we would choose STTK again!

Excellent! So glad we decided to go with Jackie!

Our daughter's wedding was so smooth and so much of the reason was having Jackie on our team! She was ALWAYS able to give us great advice on what to do when, and also WHO to select for the key partners you need for your wedding. Otherwise, it feels like you are guessing. She was calm (you want that!), sincere and positive. With Jackie involved, she encouraged us to relax and enjoy the day of the wedding. We did. It was GREAT! Her calmness helped everyone else stay calm on a day when that doesn't always happen. We have said it a bunch of times... IT WAS $ SO WELL SPENT and would do it again in a heartbeat!

Unbelievable Experience!!!

Our experience with Jackie was top notch. When we first reached out to her we knew she was the perfect choice. She was so thorough when explaining the process and proper wedding etiquette, which we found so helpful as we had never done this before. We knew exactly what our responsibilities were and knew she would handle the rest. She came highly recommended by our Venue(Lanier Islands Resort) and worked flawlessly with them, as well as with our DJ and Photographer. If there was anything that went wrong during our Big Day, we didn't know about it. I cannot even begin to explain how helpful she was on our wedding day. She was there during every little moment to ensure EVERYTHING was executed perfectly. Her assistant Katy was also so personable with us on our wedding day and we know why Jackie chose her to be there. WE cannot say enough about Jackie and her team and we highly recommend her to anyone who desires an unbelievable experience on one of the most important days of your life! Thank you so much Jackie!

The A-Team

I have nothing but positive things to say when it comes to working with Mrs. Jackie's team. From the first meeting, she was super open to listen to our ideas and gave us plenty of tips even before deciding to go with her as our wedding coordinator. Once deicing to go with her team, she mapped out a timeline and added resources I could find helpful when it came to floral, bridal bouquets and bridal cakes. Not knowing where to begin, Jackie and her team guided both my husband and I on every detail, from big to small, and also helped us pick some amazing videography/photography/DJ vendors, that I am also super content we decided to go with them. Overall, Jackie and her experienced team were by far the A-Team that we could have asked for to help make sure our wedding turned out amazing, especially since I was super stressed with everything and Jackie gave me the reassurance I needed. Our family and friends had such great feedback when it came to the coordination of all the events during our big wedding day! I would hands down recommend Smooth Tie The Knot to any bride-to-be out there that is in need of a wedding planner. Overall super satisfied with how everything turned out and beyond grateful for their patience and dedication to making sure our wedding day flowed smoothly.

Magical Day !!!

I cannot say enough good things about Jackie and her team! We live in Michigan so I was very nervous planning a wedding in Georgia! Jackie made sure all my fears and anything I was nervous about was taken care of. When I say she took the stress out of wedding planning she really did!!! There were so many small details I never would have thought of like plate chargers or just small things . She promised us a perfect and magical day and that’s exactly what it was all the way until the last minute! I would hire them again in a heartbeat and recommend them to anyone getting married!

It was wonderful working with Jackie! She is sweet and super-organized. I'm always glad when Jackie is on the job because she makes it easier for all the other vendors to do our jobs well, too.

Although I had heard much about Jackie with Smooth- Tie-The- Knots, I had not had the opportunity to personally to work with her untill my last wedding, and I'm sure glad I did. A couple of traits that immediately stood out to me was her calm demeanor and close attention to the timeline. She had a handle on just about every detail with a serene smile on her face. She has such an easygoing personality, but don't let that fool you! She definitely takes authority when the situation calls for it, and makes quick decisions so the bride can just relax and not worry. She can be trusted for direction and have the answers. I would definitely want her on my team!
