So grateful for Jessica!

Jessica planned our April 2022 wedding weekend and thanks to her talents at this job and her hard work it was a huge success. We did a full service planning package and were so grateful to have Jessica at our side the entire planning process for all 3 of our wedding events. She was organized and kept us on schedule with addressing the right stages of planning at the right times. The vendors she recommended were all spectacular. It was so helpful to have her present a short list of vendors for every category based on our criteria, and all we had to do was choose, rather than doing a ton of research into reviews and interviewing them about every bit of minutia. We got to make the wedding our own and Jessica took handling all the small details off our plate. We also don’t have an eye for design so Jessica really stepped in to help with communication with the florist and paper goods provider to help articulate what we wanted.
Jessica’s experience really shone through in the schedule she created for the wedding weekend, which flowed excellently and allowed for all the pictures and specific wedding moments at the right times. Also, her recommendations for small details such as chairs with arms to lift us in for the hora made a huge difference.
The day itself was expertly coordinated by Jessica and her assistant, to the point where we had guests tell us what a good coordinator we had and how well the event was planned.
Thank you, Jessica, for everything throughout this planning process and making our vision of this wedding weekend come to fruition!

Best decision ever!

Jessica and Uptown Events were incredible throughout the planning process and on our wedding day. I cannot recommend them enough! Their expertise and commitment to excellence made the wedding planning process so smooth and fun. There were definitely some challenging aspects to our wedding (multiple venues, transportation limitations, etc.), and Jessica took the time to make sure every detail was considered and ironed out. On our wedding day, Jessica and her team were INCREDIBLE. The whole entire day was so smooth, and so many of our vendors and guests commented that it was the most well-organized wedding they had ever been part of... and I attribute that entirely to Jessica and Uptown Events! From the very beginning, I felt that Jessica understood our vision for our wedding day and was committed to making it happen. She also shielded me from knowing about any issues that popped up on the wedding day. She took it upon herself to handle it all without mentioning it to us, which I truly appreciated! It made our wedding day joyful and stress-free. Hiring Jessica and her team to coordinate our wedding was truly the best decision we made. They relieved all the wedding stress and anxiety so we could just enjoy every moment! I can't recommend them enough!

Uptown made our wedding flawless

Jamie was incredible on the day of our wedding. She planned and coordinated all of the vendors and made sure our wedding was set up on time. She managed the flip of the room from ceremony to reception flawlessly and whenever I had an issue or question about a vendor, she took care of it right away. Her attitude and bubbly personality are exactly right for a wedding planner. Thank you Uptown team for making our wedding exactly how we envisioned it!!

Best decision we made was hiring Uptown Events!

I cannot say enough good things about Uptown Events!!! We went with their partial planning package and Jamie made our day so special. She is absolutely INCREDIBLE! She kept everything on track throughout the wedding planning process and the wedding day. This allowed for us to genuinely enjoy our big day and not feel stressed about any of the details. Jamie was organized, knowledgeable, quick to respond, kind, and everything you could want in a planner!! We even had vendors compliment how great our planner was to work with and how on top of things she was! If you are searching for a planner, I highly highly recommend Uptown Events. Truly can’t say enough good things about them!!

Wedding Review

Jamie was fantastic at leading us through the wedding planning process and then taking charge with last minute changes required to accommodate the weather. She was very familiar with the wedding venue and the vendors we used and became our contact with them to make sure everything went smoothly on the day of the wedding from our transportation, flowers, caterer, cake baker, photographer and venue representative. My daughter's wedding day was perfect! I highly recommend Jamie as she made the day's events much more enjoyable for our daughter and our family.

Sophisticated Designer and Thoughtful Planner

We are so thankful to have found Jessica at Uptown Events to execute our wedding. Not only did Jessica and her assistant Jamie execute a flawless wedding day, Jessica also helped design our event from the start.

Design: Jessica met with us to understand the look and feel of our wedding and then put together a beautiful design board for us. Not only did it perfectly capture our vision, but it came with detail like the color of the tablecloth from an actual Austin rental company. This was fantastic because we were able to order linens sight unseen while planning our wedding from Houston. We were also able to forward this board directly on to our florist who helped bring the vision to life. A really great service option if you're wanting to take ownership in some of the planning but with a little guidance!

Planning: Jessica is incredibly organized and no detail slipped by her. We hired her for month-of-coordination but she was there as a resource the whole time! Her tailored vendor recommendation list provided us with comfort that we were hiring reputable vendors. Also, she has discount codes, which is something I didn't think about when setting aside budget for a wedding planner. She was proactive in reaching out to us with tips and updates regarding COVID and local vendor trends. Unfortunately due to pandemic impact, our initial caterer went out of business 2 weeks before the wedding. However, Jessica helped us schedule a virtual walk through with the new caterer and no one would have known that this was a last minute change.

Jessica and her team are professional, joyful, patient and kind. We highly recommend hiring Uptown Events!

Uptown Went Above and Beyond

We cannot imagine our wedding day without Jessica there to make sure it all ran smoothly. From our first meeting to the big day, Jessica was attentive, organized, and responsive to our many questions. We took advantage of the monthly email reminders she puts together and it helped keep us on track as we were planning the wedding. Even though she was our month-of coordinator she was willing to assist us with questions as we were going through the planning process months out from our date. She was very understanding when we needed to postpone our wedding due to the pandemic (less than three weeks from the wedding date!) and we were able to work with her to reschedule venue coordination walk-throughs and pre-wedding planning meetings.

During the big day we hardly knew she and her assistant were there; everything just worked. She assisted the other vendors in executing our enhanced COVID precautions and her team went out of their way to help make our guests feel safe and comfortable. She even helped me bustle my lovely bride’s dress! Just as dinner was being prepared to be served, she let us know that a storm was rolling in and about to pour rain over the reception. In less than 5 minutes, Jessica, her assistant, and the venue and catering teams moved all of the tables inside, reset the place settings, brought in the cake table and bar, and had ushered the guests into the cocktail hour building. They then began, with the help of our venue staff, to take guests one-by-one to the reception hall; our guests remarked later on how seamless everything felt. No one panicked, everyone stayed dry, and most importantly everyone was having a good time in spite of the rain thanks to Jessica’s quick thinking.

Uptown Events really came through for us and we would be happy to recommend them to future couples!

Stop what you're doing and hire Uptown Events for your wedding NOW!

I can't begin to express to Jessica from Uptown Events what a saving grace she was to me from the moment we met. Jessica worked with another coordinator of mine to fulfill my dream wedding - and they both did just that. I know I put the pressure on as I'm so highly detail-oriented and have produced many events myself - I just wanted to make sure my best interests were at heart and to say that Uptown Events did that and more would be an understatement.

From her attention to detail, to her organization, communication, and enthusiasm I felt like I was working with an old friend.

Like a beautiful symphony, she orchestrated every moment, every detail, and never skipped a beat. I had no idea if there were any hiccups or missteps anywhere because she stayed on cadence the entire time.

From the month of planning and every nitty-gritty detail, she walked through with her utmost attention, to creating my love language (spreadsheets!) she made sure that NOTHING was missed. I loved that she took over communication to my vendors at that time as well so that I could actually step back and enjoy the final moments of being a bride and that made ALL the difference.

She was the first face I saw on my wedding day, already working hard to make sure vendors were greeted, and everyone had their marching orders. She wasn't afraid to get her hands dirty to help set up personal items of mine either! When I walked into the reception, I couldn't help but swell up with tears as my husband and I took our first dance, surrounded by all the beauty she had created and orchestrated with help from others whose hearts were in the same place.

Every executive decision that was made, every element of detail was BEYOND what I could have ever dreamed of and she should be extremely proud of her talents and hard work to make sure everything was P E R F E C T.

It was such a pleasure to get to work with Jessica. An experience I'll never take for granted or forget.

No regrets booking Uptown Events for our wedding coordination

Could not have had such a great time at my wedding without Jessica and the Uptown Events team. Throughout my planning process Jessica went above and beyond everything I ever expected of her. She continued to amaze me with her dedication to my event. Along with her incredible organizational skills, quick response time, and knowledge about all things wedding - she is SO sweet! The day of our wedding I had FULL confidence and trust in her to make our day everything we wanted - and she delivered. No hiccups along the way (or if there were - I had no idea! And that's what every bride wants, right?!) I received several compliments from family, friends and vendors about how smooth our day ran. I also had a wonderful experience working with Jessica for my bachelorette party travel planning. She helped arrange accommodations, transportation and itineraries for THIRTEEN girls during our international getaway! Will recommend her to everyone. For everything. Forever. CAN NOT THANK UPTOWN EVENTS ENOUGH!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
