Amazing team and experience

Words cannot express how amazing Weddings Made To Order is! I was a bride who postponed my wedding three times during the pandemic, and Jen(my planner) never failed to be there for me for literally two years. At first, I was overwhelmed with what to do and how to wrap my brain during this time. It was devastating at first because there was so much unceratnity, but I was so lucky to have Jen. She is so patient, kind, and understanding. She made me feel like there was nothing to worry about and that we could plan through anything that came our way.

Once we settled on 3rd date, Jen made my entire vision come to life the day of. Anytime I was nervous, wanted a quick change, advice, wanted her to review a contract, heck even have a 4-hour meeting to go over the timeline and all details, Jen was there for me.

My wedding day and the entire experience would not have been the same without Jen and her team. The wedding day was so magical, and I literally had no reserves to hand it off to Weddings Made To Order, knowing that it was going to be a fabulous day. And they killed it the day of! They were attentive, easy to work with, and professional. They handled my family and friends perfectly and gave my husband everything he asked. We recommend them highly! All my friends and family have reached out to say how well organized and beautiful everything was. THANK YOU a million times!

Stress-Free Wedding 😎

I had the pleasure of working with Kalyn and Jen at The Bradford in New Hill, NC, and they were absolutely amazing! They made the entire day run smoothly from start to finish, and I genuinely enjoyed the downtime we had together in between the big moments — lots of laughs and good vibes all around.
They’re such a great team and made my job as a vendor a total joy — completely stress-free. I’d highly recommend them to any couple looking for planners who feel more like friends.

Amazing Wedding Planner

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Jen and the experience she provided as our wedding planner. From start to finish, she was a dream to work with. Jen constantly checked in to make sure every detail was coming together seamlessly, handling everything with such incredible efficiency and skill that I felt entirely at ease throughout the planning process. She truly made our wedding day everything we dreamed it could be and more—something I didn’t even think was possible. Her creativity and expertise transformed our vision into a breathtaking reality, and every detail was planned to perfection.

Jen provided a detailed itinerary that made sure everything ran exactly according to plan. She was always one step ahead, anticipating our needs and preparing us for any last-minute changes. Her dedication and passion for making our day perfect were evident in every interaction. If you’re looking for a planner who goes above and beyond, who makes the entire planning process enjoyable and the wedding day effortless, Jen is the one you need by your side. She truly gave us the wedding of our dreams, and we’re forever grateful!

Dream planning team!

My husband and I got married in August 2024 and had the wonderful pleasure of working with Jen and Kalyn with the coordination package. Jen was our point of contact during the process and was a calm and reassuring presence throughout, always available to answer a quick question or point us in the right direction to helpful resources. Jen and Kalyn did a fantastic job on the day of the wedding, handling all aspects of the day and helping to set up the many decor elements we DIY’d. Everything looked like we pictured and it was such a joy-filled day.

Two specific moments really stood out to us to show how exemplary Jen and her team are. As an out-of-state couple, there’s an added layer of logistics and stress that comes with planning. We planned a trip into town the month before the wedding for our final venue walk through, tasting, and planning meeting with Jen. Due to weather, our flight was canceled. Once we alerted Jen to this, she stepped into action, working with our vendors to reschedule all of our meetings, while we tried to find new flights down to NC. We thankfully were able to attend all our meetings and Jen even helped us source one remaining decor item that we couldn’t find anywhere! On the day of our wedding, we also had some unfortunate weather when it started raining 10 minutes before our set time to walk down the aisle. Jen supported us in our decision to wait out the rain and coordinated with the vendor team to wipe down every single seat before the ceremony started. We were so happy to have our ceremony outside and the rest of the night was great! We’re so grateful to Jen and Kalyn for their professionalism, fun attitudes, and support. My husband and I are both quite meticulous so we needed to find someone we could trust could pull off our wedding at the same level of excellence as we would. Jen and her team did just that! The only thing we’d change is starting our package sooner so we could’ve handed things over to her very capable team earlier. Thank you again, Jen and Kalyn, for making our big day so special.

Jenn and her team are perfect!

I hired Weddings Made to Order for a day of coordinator, which included services starting at the 30 day out mark. Jenn has the perfect personality that was just the perfect fit for me! They were responsive and eager to help even before their actual start date, after signing the contract. They kept up on emails, and asked me detailed questions that I didn't even know I had to think about! Jenn and her team truly made me feel like a guest at my own wedding.

Bridesmaid

Jen and Rhonda were absolutely amazing. They are so down to earth, so adaptable, and so professional. They did such a great job keeping the bridal party in line and on task while still making sure we had a good time. Appreciate the balance of this team. I'm definitely booking her when I'm a bride!

Flawless Execution

Jennifer and her team are genuinely superb and operate like a well-oiled machine! Being a wedding videographer, I meet many people who call themselves planners, but when it’s crunch time, they are clueless.

There wasn’t one question I asked Jennifer throughout the day that she didn’t know the answer to immediately or got me the response within seconds. This is what couples need on their wedding day! You don't hire a planner to be stressed out and all over the place on your big day. You hire planners to lift the weight off your shoulders, make everything flow seamlessly, and handle the vendors' needs.

Hire Jennifer! You will not regret it!

Exceptional experience for the best day ever 💕

Planning our wedding with Jen was THE BEST thing we did, second to actually walking down the aisle! 😁 She was spot on with the details, had great connections with other necessary vendors and always brought a balance of professionalism and warmth to our planning sessions and wedding day. She made sure we were always moving in alignment with our vision for our wedding and was un afraid to advocate for us with other vendors. Our wedding planning meetings were held virtually and the electronic systems she has in place are very accessible and exceptional; it makes it feel like you’re sitting in the room with her. When you book with Jen you walk away feeling super confident about the vision and plan for your wedding as well as comforting and ongoing support while you navigate the crazy nuances of the wedding world!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
