Erin M. Married on 05/08/2022AMAZING (last minute corona change)
Jenna was absolutely amazing! About two months before our wedding we decided to reschedule our Chicago wedding (where we live) to Bellaire, MI (at a family home) due to coronavirus. We were stressed about switching our plans so close to the wedding date, especially to an area where we knew very little about the local vendors. From our initial call, it was clear Jenna was the woman for the job. She was able to fit her services to our needs and budget and found several vendors that were still available on short notice AND within our budget. She responded quickly to our questions, provided updates during her search, and gave detailed overviews on the vendors to help us choose our best fit. We would have been lost without Jenna's help. I cannot recommend her highly enough!Up North Events's reply:
Thank you for trusting me to help with your special day! I'm so glad you were able to switch to a Covid-safe plan and make it happen. Congratulations to you both!
