    Above and beyond work from an above and beyond person

    Jyl was absolutely instrumental in pulling off our wedding smoothly. From the moment we hired her, Jyl went above and beyond with sage advice, coordinating with the venue, quick responses, and helping us figure out what we needed to still do and when. When it came to two months before our wedding, Jyl was indispensable, coordinating between vendors and putting together a timeline that factored in so many moving parts with ease. By the time it came to our wedding day, it was clear from chatting with other vendors that Jyl had put in work that we weren’t even aware of, making our lives easier without us even knowing or asking for recognition. And on the wedding day, she kept us on schedule, was there every step of the way, and managed to anticipate hiccups before they even happened. No small blip was not swiftly remedied - one too few bridesmaids bouquets, a button falling off the groom’s tux, a small stain on the bride’s dress, family portraits that felt overwhelming at times, or a bride’s headache. We still remark to ourselves that we are in shock at how smoothly things ran, and are still waiting for something wedding-related to go wrong, because nothing really did. And that’s the magic of hiring Jyl — she will make sure that’s the case for you, and if something does come up, she’s the best person to rise to the challenge of fixing it. Hiring Jyl is the best decision you could make for your wedding!!

    Deering Events made our wedding

    If I could go back and change one thing about my wedding, it would be hiring Jyl for the full planning services instead of day of/month of. Jyl was an absolute life saver. The second she started getting more involved about 1 month out from our wedding, my stress levels dropped significantly. She knew all of our vendors personally, had planned and executed multiple weddings at our venue, and just operated with an air of confidence and ease that every bride needs in their life. The day of our wedding, Jyl took complete control of the reins, and I just got to enjoy the day. She navigated the uncertain weather, my semi-dysfunctional family, assembling our DIY centerpieces and hundreds of other details that I am not even aware of to ensure the day was perfect. She even drove off-cape to pick up and drop off our rentals, which saved us hundreds of dollars. I could not be more grateful for Jyl - do yourself a favor and pick Deering Events for your wedding!

    Absolutely Incredible

    Without Jyl and her team, I know our day wouldn’t have happened so smoothly. Jyl was accessible to us throughout the planning process to answer questions, give insight, and help us prioritize the details that made our day so special. Fast forward to the day of and we had zero stress because she handled everything. We got to show up to our wedding and just enjoy it! We cannot recommend Jyl enough, she was incredible. If you’re looking for a stress-free wedding day, then hiring Jyl and her team is the right decision!

    Your wedding gift to yourself

    Jyl was amazing! We originally hired her for just day of coordination but as the stresses grew, she fully took over communications with our venue. On the day of she was a lifesaver and ran to pick up last minute items and made sure the day went smoothly. Highly recommend using her !

    Amazing decision!

    So many good things to say about Jyl (and her assistant Megan) I don't even know where to start! Navigating planning a wedding during a pandemic was no easy feat, but Jyl made us feel at ease and taken care of completely. Our wedding was at a venue that required a lot of our own set-up as well as bringing in all our vendors, but both Jyl and Megan made us feel as if we didn't have to worry about a thing the whole weekend! Everything was thought of and I am so appreciative for their help. Our wedding went off without a hitch and I totally credit that to Jyl and Megan for their help!!

    A Wedding Ninja

    If wedding ninjas exist, Jyl is one of the. She put forth an incredible, herculean effort into making our wedding a show stopper. The compliments from all our guests were never-ending and we could not be happier with how the day went. From day one, she worked with us to help bring our vision to life with advice, research, responsiveness, organization, and other big and small gestures. We are so thankful that Jyl mentored us through the insane process that is planning a wedding. We are truly touched by her positive spirit, are eternally grateful, and will forever look back on our wedding with affection and amazing memories. You're in great hands with Jyl and we couldn't recommend her more!

    Great experience with Jyl

    Nothing but good things to say about Jyl. She has great instincts, is always a step or two ahead (at least!) knows how to deal with and talk to anybody, and will keep you from losing your mind. She really knows what she's doing and is totally dependable. She followed my wife and I on a journey where we completely changed course so many times and she didn't even blink. Of course it ended up being perfect. 5 stars!

    A true gem

    This review is a bit overdue but I can't imagine there being a better wedding/event planner out there. As someone terrified about the idea of planning a wedding, especially in our case where we weren't local and had to plan a wedding in less than 6 months, I reached out to a few planners on the Cape and could tell from the start that Jyl had the type of reassuring yet direct style I could lean on in the months to come. Her rate for what she does is beyond reasonable, and she never missed a beat or failed to deliver. She's clearly a true expert at what she does, knows the best vendors, has a clear idea of practical matters and the cost of things and kept us on track. We had many pivots to which she reacted calmly - and was always available to respond to our needs/questions even when she was busy with other weddings. It's hard for me to imagine how she was managing other multiple weddings at the time because of the amount of attention she gave us! On the day of the wedding - with the whole host of emotions that go along with it - Jyl was so great at nudging us along and taking care of everything it seems - that I was able to stay out of my head and be totally in the moment. Finally, she's just a charming and lovely person, so there wasn't any of the social awkwardness that happens sometimes when you start working with someone. I have absolutely nothing bad to say about my experience with Jyl and believe any couple who works with her will feel the same.

    Amazing Wedding Planner

    Not a day goes by that we don't remark how absolutely wonderful, fun, perfect, and smooth our special day was! None of it would have been possible without Jyl. Jyl made our day and our overall wedding experience incredibly blissful. Planning a 140+ person wedding at a private residence in the midst of the location (Nantucket) being 32 miles out to sea, could not have been an easy task. Jyl served as equal parts visionary, designer, project manager, and friend. Her ability to translate our ideas and wishes into a vision was endlessly impressive and her continual excitement regarding all things important to us reaffirmed our decision to hire her as a planner time and time again. Her ability to break down the daunting task of planning a wedding into bite-sized pieces made the whole process that much more fun, enjoyable, and meaningful. Jyl was nothing but understanding and patient with our busy schedules, as well as providing gentle reminders when we fell radio silent, she kept us on track and always moving forward. Jyl became so much a part of our lives and cared so much for us that we knew she would do everything to make our day special and meaningful - which she absolutely did! Before hiring Jyl, stereotypically, I feared the wedding day would be filled with phone calls, texts and inevitable interruptions - not a phone call or text the entire wedding! I would recommend Jyl and Deering Events to anyone who wants a professional and personally designed wedding. The wedding felt like it was custom made for us in the most wonderful and expertly executed way possible - which was the greatest gift Jyl could have given us. Thank you for everything, Jyl.

    Day of Coordinator

    Our wedding party and family all commented on how calmly and smoothly our wedding day was - and that's all because of Jyl and Deering Events! From the first phone call Jyl was great to talk to and kept me and my husband on track and organized - and most importantly took a lot of the stress out of the wedding planning process. Jyl was invaluable when 48 hours before my wedding my make-up artist fell through. She assured me we would find a replacement and called her contacts and within a few hours had found me a great replacement vendor.
    Inevitably something unpredictable will happen during your planning process or on your wedding day - and Jyl is the person you want on your vendor team to help you through it. She loves this business, cares immemsely about her clients and their vision and she is a true professional. Jyl took our vision and implemented it to make our wedding day exactly as we imagined it would be (and better). I cannot recommend Jyl more highly for your big day!!

    The wedding day was perfect with Jyl.

    My daughter and her future husband planned their wedding on Cape Cod from NYC. The day of the wedding the bride wanted the timeline to be coordinated by a planner. She hired Jyl and from then on Jyl came through with answers to every concern and input on each aspect of the wedding. She handled make up and hair people who were no shows by finding replacements almost immediately and then the day of the wedding she was there behind the scenes making sure the bride and groom had the day just the way they planned. It was a Cinderella event from start to finish and Jyl is the best at her craft. She has so many contacts and can help with anything needing assistance....the entire family thanks her for all she did to make the day perfect!

    Simply the best

    Jyl made our day perfect. From day one, she was completely dialed in to what we were looking for and for the 1+ year we worked with her she always kept our best interests in mind while also helping us figure out how to plan the best time for our family and guests. She knows all the right questions to ask, brings to light crucial details you may not have thought about, and is just so positive about everything. She took away all my fears and concerns and made sure my husband and I were able to truly enjoy our special day. She loves this work, and it truly shows, as do her years of experience. Jyl knows what she’s doing!

    Couldn't recommend more enthusiasticslly

    I couldn’t speak more highly of Jyl. As our full-service wedding planner, she spent about a year with us planning our ~160 person wedding which was held at my family’s home in Cape Cod. Given the non-venue location which had never seen an event of this magnitude before, every last detail had to be meticulously be planned and accounted for. Without Jyl, none of this would have been possible.


    Jyl is a true professional and because of this, vendors love to work with her which made securing our top choices a breeze. She was impressively responsive (down to every last bullet in my often times long lists of questions), and I always felt like I was her priority. Once the weekend came, I was confident in every plan we had made and truly did not have to worry about a thing (I even surprised myself at how calm and relaxed I felt) – her presence was extremely comforting.


    On the day of, she effortless coordinated an incredible team of vendors including the catering servers, bartenders, band members, photographers, florists, rental deliveries, parking attendants, shuttle drivers, and more. One of her team members even snuck out during the reception to pick up ice cream at our favorite local ice cream shop so it was *just right* to be served with dessert.

    THANK YOU JYL!

    Jyl was a life-saver!!

    You won't go wrong with hiring Jyl for your wedding! I nearly did not hire a day-of coordinator but I am so glad we hired Jyl and her team! She was definitely the most valuable vendor of the day and is the reason that my family remarked several times how impressed they were at how smoothly the day unfolded. Having Jyl around allowed both of us (bride and groom) to relax and happily enjoy the day. I am also grateful that our immediate family members who traveled from afar could also relax and enjoy the day. From my first interview with Jyl, I was impressed with her professional yet warm personality. I interviewed a range of coordinators in terms of price and found Jyl to be the most impressive in terms of her experience and her demeanor. I chose Jyl because she seemed to be the most capable and organized person who would be detail oriented and reliable and she totally delivered! She is friendly yet keeps all discussions on point and efficient, which I really appreciated when I was short on time between wedding planning and work. I really appreciate that she helped with a thorough timeline even prior to the wedding. On the actual day, she remained very organized and was a calming presence. She managed a complicated day-of schedule that included a chapel, reception venue which required decorations, shuttle, over 100 guests, a wedding party of 10 adults, and all in 99F weather with a smile on her face! We would recommend Jyl to anyone getting married in a heartbeat!

    The best of the best!

    Jyl is THE BEST! Hands down, she was the best decision we made for our wedding day. It would not have been what it was without her help and hard work. Every little detail was taken care of, I truly did not have to worry about a THING except enjoying our wedding day. If anything went wrong, I never knew about it! Jyl handles anything that comes up discreetly and with efficiency and grace. She helped us immensely with timeline planning, unloading, loading, decor set up and takedown, vendor management, coordination and logistics to things as little as printing a copy of our ceremony that I had forgotten to do, to name a few. I have worked in the wedding industry as a photographer for 17 years now and have encountered 100's of wedding planners along- there is no one that has even come close to Jyl! She is the best of the best, and she truly made our wedding day an absolute dream! You cannot put a price on her services, do yourself a giant favor and book Jyl for your wedding day! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts Jyl!
