  Excellent! Best decision we made for our wedding

  My husband and I interviewed several wedding planners in the So Cal region and Jacqueline stood out from the crowd— she is easy to approach and talk to, kind, patient, and professional. I knew I had to have her as my wedding planner after that first meeting!
  
  We planned our wedding with Jacqueline over the course of a year and a half and she was an integral part of each decision that was made. She scheduled venue visits, referred us to the best vendors in the region, helped us review contracts, created a budgeting plan, created a design based off of our inspiration photos, and so much more. When I requested different vendor options, she gave me a carefully curated list of options in different budget categories. She was even able to coordinate a cake tasting within a week’s notice when my husband and I were in town for the dinner tasting (we both live outside of California).
  It’s also of note that my husband and I live out of state and both have rigid work schedules; despite these challenges, Jacqueline was always easy to communicate and schedule meetings with.
  
  Now for the wedding weekend itself— Jacqueline took care of each mishap with grace and created a seamless wedding weekend timeline (not a small feat considering our wedding party was 25+ people and just our rehearsal dinner was 70 people). Every small detail such as setting up early check in for the bridal suite and coordinating ice cream pick up Jacqueline and her team executed perfectly. Even as a type-A bride, I felt at ease and incredibly calm throughout the weekend because I knew she was going to take care of us. In regards to design, both the rehearsal dinner and wedding reflected our style perfectly; She brought to life the vision I had, even better than the inspiration photos I had shared with her. Numerous guests told us during and after the wedding that our wedding was the best wedding they had ever attended. It was each of the thoughtful details Jacquline suggested that made the weekend feel like magic. I could not recommend Jacqueline more as she is the best decision I made for my wedding.

  Best Decision We Made!

  We had the pleasure of working with Jacqueline for our recent wedding, and it was hands down one of the best decisions we made in our wedding planning process. From the initial consultation to the big day, Jacqueline demonstrated unwavering professionalism and a sharp eye for detail. She transformed our vision into a reality, and the results were a dream come true. The wedding day unfolded seamlessly, and Jacqueline played a pivotal role in making it a day filled with ease and overflowing happiness.
  
  When unexpected challenges came up in the wedding planning process, Jacqueline handled them with grace and ensured our day was flawless. Jacqueline was a constant source of reassurance and we always knew that everything would fall into place under her care. She provided us support and always made sure our needs and desires were met. Her dedication and genuine care made our wedding experience truly remarkable.
  
  We can't express how grateful we are for her hard work and dedication. We highly recommend Jacqueline to any couple looking for a top-notch wedding planning experience. Our heartfelt thanks go out to Jacqueline for making our day truly the most magical and memorable day of our life. We miss talking to her consistently already but she'll always be a special part of our lives!

  Simply The BEST

  We are SO grateful that we found Jacqueline to go on our wedding planning journey with. She is incredibly detail oriented, organized, professional, responsive, and also just an absolutely lovely person! We were planning an ambitious destination wedding in Italy with a thousand moving parts – what’s more, we had to postpone the wedding several times due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Jacqueline went above and beyond to stay ahead of the numerous changes and updates with various vendors, and to keep us on track through navigating a sea of challenging logistics (3 days of events, 5 musical acts, 2 photographers – the list goes on). Throughout the planning process, it gave us immense peace of mind to know that Jacqueline would make sure everything was taken care of. During the wedding itself, she seamlessly managed every last detail to ensure that we had the wedding of our dreams. We absolutely and enthusiastically recommend Jacqueline to anyone planning a wedding and simply cannot thank her enough!

  Jacqueline is amazing! I myself an event planner and wanted to have someone else at the helm of my daughter's wedding in Malibu. Jacqueline was supremely professional and I am thrilled to have had her in charge on the day of the wedding. She was fabulous!

  Incredible wedding planner!!

  We cannot recommend Jacqueline enough. She is the most down to earth, attentive, professional, caring and tasteful planner we've come across. We interviewed several wedding planners and knew immediately that she was the perfect fit. If you look at photos of previous weddings she's planned, you will see that she puts together truly beautiful, charming, and elegant events. Of course that was our initial selling point, but after our first call with her, we noticed her meticulous attention to detail, helpful and thoughtful approach, and calming demeanor which immediately put our minds at ease and made us trust her. Although we had a specific vision for our wedding (which she really helped put into focus), for the numerous details we hadn't thought about, she was able to narrow down the wide variety of choices and steer us in the right direction, while always taking into account our preferences and budget. Come wedding day, all we had to do was show up and enjoy the experience because every detail was taken care of and the flow of the event was perfect. Thank you Jacqueline! We are so grateful for you!

  A long journey to happily ever after!

  There aren't enough words to express how we have come to feel about Jacqueline ~ She's simply THE BEST!
  Our journey began 2 years ago. We are from Miami but wanted to have a destination wedding in Malibu. My daughter (the bride) found Jacqueline on Instagram, they face-timed and fell in love. There began our 2 year journey. Plans were made, dates were set, travel was had, tastings were eaten and champagne was toasted.. We were 6 weeks from the big day and COVID came knocking!!! After a major breakdown, we decided to cancel. Jacqueline had been paid in full and she did her job with grace, professionalism and kindness. She was always available and reassuring and ALWAYS calmed us down! Detail oriented, creative and even read our contracts! Always with our budget in mind. We rescheduled for a year down the road and hoped and prayed that things would be better. Jacquline explained that though she was paid in full, she still wanted to be there and help us with every detail, even though we rescheduled in Miami! Fast forward, COVID is still with us, our list went from 180 to 80 and Jacqueline handled every single detail from her home in California. She was so amazing and I came to lean on her for everything. Now she was planning the destination wedding instead of us! Well, as luck would have it, or just bad timing, Jacqueline was unable to come to Miami and outsourced to a local wedding planner. But she STILL stayed with us the whole time. Last night was our kids dream wedding. I can honestly say that without Jacqueline this never would have been such a huge success. It was truly a dream come true. She took no additional money from us. She is such a FANTASTIC WEDDING PLANNER, I can not imagine anyone not hiring her. She has become like family and I wish she could have been with us last evening. Jacqueline, thank you again for everything you've done and for making the wedding A Dream Come True.

  Our absolute dream wedding planner

  Jacqueline is incredibly talented, hard-working, caring, and thoughtful. I interviewed three other planners and, given that we wanted an intimate wedding in the backyard of our home with a very specific vision in mind, she was the only person I felt comfortable working with. We could not recommend her enough, from start to finish she was a total badass, detail-oriented and organized, but with the sweetest, most personal approach. She also effortlessly handled a number of challenges that we faced along the way, and we are so thankful for her efforts.

  Our wedding wouldn't have happened without Jacqueline

  My husband and I were lucky enough to work with Jacqueline for our recent October wedding. We foolishly thought that we could plan with wedding ourselves but once we met with Jacqueline we knew that we needed her professional help to have the wedding of our dreams. Throughout the entire process Jacqueline was organized, communicative, and just incredibly helpful. She never went more than 24 hours without responding to one of my countless emails. In addition to organizing all of our vendors, contracts, payment dates, and timelines, she also designed the entire look and feel of the wedding. We had a specific vision for our day and Jacqueline worked tirelessly to bring it to life. And while she is a professional, working with Jacqueline I knew that she cared about us personally and wanted to make sure that we had the best day. When things inevitably got stressful, she sent a care package to our apartment to make us feel better. On our wedding day, she was cool, calm and collected. The wedding was everything we wanted and more. We couldn’t have done it without Jacqueline. Do yourself and your fiancé a favor and hire her!

  Amazing Wedding Planner!

  Honestly don't know where to begin or how to put into words how much Jacqueline did for our wedding. From her incredible organization and consistent communication to her creativity and professional vendor relationships, she took our general ideas of what we wanted from our wedding and truly elevated them into an unforgettable experience that our guests are still raving about. She was constantly ahead of any issues that came up and was always readily available to offer advice and suggestions regarding all aspects of the wedding.
  
  From the first meeting to the end of your actual wedding day, shes with you every step of the way to make sure that your day is exactly what you want. My wife and I could not have been more happy with our choice to use Jacqueline to plan our special day!

  Jacqueline is a one-of-a-kind wedding planner!

  It's nearly impossible to properly thank Jacqueline for all she did to make our wedding weekend such a success! With warmth, calm, and ease, she made our vision come alive and handled every detail, every vendor, every guest (including a sensitive mother of the groom :)), and every moment with grace and class. Not an easy task given we had a packed weekend of events, including a welcome pizza party and four locations at our wedding venue (including an all-night dance party in a wine cave)! All of our guests commented about how seamlessly they were transported to each site at the venue and how they felt so taken care of. That's all thanks to Jacqueline! She even got a shout-out from my best man in his speech and many friends are now looking to book her for their weddings. She did it all with a smile and an attention to detail that is unmatched with anyone else we met while planning our wedding. It felt like we had known Jacqueline for years and she is now part of our family. Can't thank her enough for curating the best weekend of our Iives!

  Jacqueline is 5 Stars!

  Jacqueline is a wedding planner extraordinaire! From our very first meeting through the final moments of our wedding, she was the epitome of professionalism, enthusiasm, and class. Through her excellent relationships with vendors in the industry, we were able to secure location, furniture, flowers, and cake - all of which far surpassed expectations. Her detailed check-lists and follow-up helped us feel always on-track and stress-free (as much as possible, that is). And her exceptional eye for arrangement, beauty, and aesthetic helped to create and transform three different events on our wedding day into remarkable spaces with magical moments we will never forget. Jacqueline was a huge part of our special day and we highly recommend her to anyone who is seeking a true partner during the wedding planning process. Thanks, Jacqueline - forever thankful for you!

  Went above and beyond!!

  My husband and I cannot say enough great things about Jacqueline. Hiring her as our wedding planner was the best decision! Our wedding day was like a dream...it turned out way better than we could have ever imagined, all thanks to Jackie. Our guests had a blast and were so impressed with every detail. Jackie is a true professional who has built great relationships with other vendors in the industry. We trusted all of her recommendations and were pleased with every single one of the vendors she referred. We were able to enjoy the wedding process without being stressed and overwhelmed. Jackie would create detailed monthly checklists to keep us on schedule. She was so organized and thought of every detail to make our wedding unique. We are forever grateful for her help on our special day!

  The best investment EVER!

  I have been waiting weeks to write this because we were so thrilled with Jacqueline. We did not initially think we needed a planner - we were one of "those" couples - but fortunately we came to our senses and were so fortunate that she could accommodate us! From that moment on we were in the most capable hands ever and at a price we could afford. Monthly check-ins, manageable to-do lists, thoughtful suggestions, topnotch vendors, respect for our traditions/style/budget, and an air of utter professionalism in every aspect of the project - these are essential to Jacqueline's approach. She is amazing! The day absolutely SPARKLED thanks to her and we truly didn't have to worry about a thing. We could just enjoy! It was a dream come true for both of us and we are so grateful. Don't leave this to chance - if you want a planner you can trust COMPLETELY with one of the most important days of your life, work with EDE by Jacqueline!

  Highly recommend Jacqueline + Team

  Jacqueline was a joy to work with. She is beyond organized and professional, which is exactly what a planner should be. Her detailed timeline and vendor management was much needed. She made our day run smooth and perfect. Would highly recommend her services!!

  I couldn’t say enough wonderful things about Jacqueline. Her kindness, professionalism, communication, and organization are just a few of the many reasons we love her. From the moment you start working with her she is incredibly detail oriented and develops lists and plans to keep the entire wedding and family on track. She always makes herself available for questions or follow ups. My wedding was an absolute dream and Jacqueline helped to make it all come together with her design vision. Jacqueline maintains wonderful relationships with vendors and provides options for each need but is flexible and open to meeting new vendors in the business. Her follow through, even after the wedding, exemplifies her dedication to her clients. Jacqueline created a timeline for the day of my wedding that ran on time/ahead of schedule and each of the vendors was incredibly grateful for her organization and expertise. The entire night ran smoothly and I didn’t stress once because I knew I was in capable hands. Thank you Jacqueline for truly making our wedding a night we will never forget.

  To say "Jackie is amazing" is an understatement. We LOVE her and wish she could plan vow renewal ceremonies and receptions for us every year because we loved our wedding so much (but we won't do that, because that would be excessive obvi).
  
  She's everything you'd want in a wedding planner and more: professional, sweet, organized, and SO on top of things! She is extremely detail-oriented, kept our planning timeline on-track, and always thought of things I would have never remembered, but looking back could not do without. I'm sure she has a TON of clients, but she always made time for a quick text or call, read my lengthy emails and reply, and does a fantastic job of making each and every couple feel so special.
  
  Kevin and I could not imagine working with another planner -- the wedding was perfect and we still get compliments from guests saying just that, and how much fun the wedding was!
  
  Jackie, thank you so much for making our entire wedding experience incredibly special and memorable! xo

  Now that I'm fully recovered and back to reality, I can finally reflect on our special day that Jacqueline helped create. I completely agree with my husband that it was everything and more than we envisioned. And to look back I am amazed because we engaged Jacqueline not knowing too much about her and then picked a destination we three had never been to. We all entered into this blindly and Jacqueline managed to pull it off.
  
  What I loved about Jacqueline was that she was calm and professional. She was organized and thorough and always available. We live in OC and she is based in LA and our destination was Croatia and she was always available to us and communicating with our vendors. She made the event stress-free for us which allowed us to truly enjoy the moments and have fun with our guests. That is something I feel is important on your special day. Anyone can plan and execute but she did it all without us getting involved or having to sweat and we love her for that.
  
  Again, thank you thank you Jacqueline for making our celebration so memorable! Thank you for listening to us and knowing when to advise us! Thank you for letting us enjoy every minute of our day!

  To coordinate an entire wedding in a country where none of us have been to was an accomplishment in itself. To see it come to fruition with no hiccups on any of the events that took place in Croatia made me speechless. Jacqueline took the challenge and was there in every step of the way to make sure everything turned out perfect. Considering that I really didn't put any effort in the planning process, it just goes to show that she can take control and make sure we were never stressed at any given point of time. If I were to ever get married again, you'd be the person I'd go to lol. Thank you for everything!

  Everything went according to plan, and our wedding was even better than we had expected because of Jackie. We are forever in debt to her for her spectacular service. We didn’t have to worry about a thing, we were able to just sit back and enjoy our wedding day.

  Jackie was so incredibly amazing during our whole planning process. She is a great communicator and has a calm and collective vibe/energy that every bride needs the day of her wedding! She gets things DONE! So so grateful we got to work with her.

  We had such a complex wedding with a lot of VIP guests and a mixed culture that it took someone of Jacqueline's experience to handle such a difficult unique wedding event. She carried all the stress and tasks of making the event as amazing as possible for everyone. She is extremely professional and I highly recommend her to anyone who is in need of a strong good wedding planner for their wedding event.
  
  It was such a successful evening for us and I am so thankful for her hard work!

  It takes a special kind of person to be a wedding planner. Jackie has such a professional demeanor and an easy airy lightness to her that makes wedding planning just a seamless dream. She really was worth everything at the end of the day. I loved our phone calls, going over the timelines, picking and choosing out vendors. It’s really true, trust the wedding planner and all her vendors. She will recommend you the perfect vendor for what you are looking for. It also help saves you money in the long run by avoiding the bad ones. Like any business, there’s unprofessional make up artists, photographers, florists, and she is great at picking out companies and vendors that is just as professional as she is, and just as beautiful as she is. Jackie is such a beautiful wedding planner and she truly helped us create our wedding into a dream wedding. She did a great job executing our vision and helped us impress our guests with a great party.
  Her and her assistant was the dream team. And very easy to work with.

  Jackie is my hero! She was so organized and helpful throughout the entire process. I am a fellow event planner but I only do corporate events and did not want to also plan my own wedding and not get to enjoy it. Jackie truly took the stress off my plate and sheltered me from having to deal with all the behind the scenes production it took to bring our big day to life.
  
  Her and her team were so attentive on the day of the event. At one point during the night I got a bad foot cramp and the kitchen at the venue didn't have a banana anywhere in sight. Next thing I know, 15min later, one of Jackie's coordinators meets me on the dance floor with a banana and a gatorade in hand! She had run to a store nearby to get me one!!
  
  It's that kind of attention to detail and thoughtfulness that make Jackie and her team a dream to work with!

  My wife and I are OCD with just about everything, but our wedding day was not stressful at all thanks to Jackie. She took care of all our requests and executed them with extreme detail. Her calmness kept us calm throughout the whole process. I don't ever plan on getting married again but if I do, I would definitely hire Jackie and her team again!

  Partnering with EDE by Jacqueline is the highest recommendation I would give to any couple looking for someone with fantastic style, incredible experience, great ideas, impressive management skills, the ability to organize a huge event, communicate across quite literally hundreds of people, and someone who will make you feel like you are the only bride she is working with. Jacqueline's attention to the couple and dedication to the event is the best I have ever seen. She moved heaven and earth for us on a few occasions - all while keeping any stress she could away from us. Jacqueline is truly special and while she orchestrated our entire event (it was stunning and seamless), she actually added to the happiness of our engagement and wedding planning.
