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!

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!

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!!
