Seamless experience

I absolutely loved working with Jaime and had an amazing experience! We ended up with the best team of vendors thanks to her recommendations and superior local knowledge. She just made everything easier, which is exactly what any wedding planner should do - anytime I came to her with questions or general bridal stress, she immediately quelled any anxieties I had and was completely on top of it. Everything went seamlessly thanks to her!

You should hire Jaime!

Jaime was an absolute joy to work with! From the beginning, she made the wedding planning process so much smoother. Without her, we wouldn’t have had any idea what we were doing. She was always happy to share her thoughts and recommendations, but never in a pushy or overbearing way.
Jaime kept us on track by reminding us of deadlines and major planning milestones. She was incredibly responsive, quickly answering emails and phone calls whenever we needed help or guidance.
A couple of days before the wedding, the forecast called for rain. Jaime immediately sprang into action, collaborating with the venue and other vendors to create a flawlessly executed rain plan. While we hadn’t envisioned a rainy wedding day, Jaime and her team worked hard to ensure it was still beautiful and special.
I couldn't recommend hiring Jaime enough! She was invaluable throughout the entire process—helping us book vendors, plan the details, and ensuring everything went smoothly on the big day.

Do I need a wedding planner?

Where do I even begin with Jaime?! From planning to execution through the day of the wedding she was a godsend!!! Planning a wedding can be so super stressful, at the time I hired her, I picked almost all the vendors myself but it started to get overwhelming and I knew I needed help. We couldn’t have been happier with Jaime. She was ALWAYS there whenever we had a question and her responses were always immediate (which was helpful since we were out of state). I don’t think the big day would have ran as smooth as it did if we didn’t have her! So sweet and caring, super organized, and would hire her again and again if I needed to! We couldn’t thank Jaime enough for all her wonderful help/work!!

Nothing Short of Outstanding

Jaime Nelson is the standard to which all wedding planners should be held.

From the start of our search for a wedding planner, we came across plenty of qualified candidates, but frequently ran into conditions which gave us pause. Some wedding planners only offer X amount of conversations leading up to the wedding, with any additional conversations costing an extra fee. Some wedding planners were so expensive you'd think you were looking at the price for a venue. And some wedding planners were just starting out on their journey - which is fine - but when you're putting a lot of time and money into a wedding located somewhere you don't live (as is the case for many Newport / Rhode Island weddings), you don't want to leave anything to chance. Jaime had none of these flaws: she was there for us day and night, all year long; her fee was very reasonable compared to today's market; and her experience combined with the connections she has cultivated over many years in the game meant that we were confident in her capabilities and her commitments.

Jaime helped us understand what was realistic for our budget, gave us creative ideas to solve problems as they arose, and took the initiative when work with vendors was necessary. She was also admirably flexible with our particular goals and design ideas, and helped to make our vision a reality in a way that was as flawless as it was enjoyable. Working with Jaime, we never felt stressed out, despite the magnitude of moving pieces necessary to put everything together. On the contrary, we actually had a lot of fun planning with her. Jaime made us feel like every problem was solvable and that no request was too inconvenient. It's clear that she had a great team behind her, but with Jaime at the helm, it was all smooth sailing for my wife and I.

As for the wedding day itself, Jaime was behind the scenes constantly making sure everything was running smoothly and on-time. Jaime was always 3 steps ahead of us, and she worked wonderfully with our photographer to make sure we had time for both photos and enjoying the party. We knew she was a standout, and our feelings were reaffirmed when we had our parents and friends come up to us and tell us how incredible she was the whole night.

If you're looking for a wedding planner in Rhode Island, you owe it to yourself to give Jaime a call.

We Love Jaime!

Living in San Diego, we planned our entire wedding from across the country and would have been utterly lost without Jaime. We never doubted that we were in great hands, even though we could only travel out to Newport to meet in person once before the big day. It also didn't hurt that all of our vendors exclaimed "WE LOVE JAIME!" whenever we first mentioned we were working with her :) She was always game to handle any of my crazy ideas and requests and could not have been more helpful and kind from start to finish. Our entire wedding weekend was absolutely perfect, and we have Jaime to thank for that.

We cannot recommend Eventfully Planned more highly to any couple planning a wedding in New England. We just wish we could do it all over again!!

A Detailed Rockstar

Jaime is an absolute ROCKSTAR!! We are so lucky to have worked with her on multiple events, including our wedding! She was so present and on top of every single detail, giving us peace of mind to be able to enjoy time with our guests. There were LOTS of logistics and transportation schedules (ferries, trolleys, you name it!) and with Jaime leading the charge, all went smoothly. We couldn't be happier with working with her + her team. 10/10 recommend!!!

Simply the best!

We cannot say enough amazing things about Jaime! She is truly the best & went above & beyond to make our special day even more special! Through every step in the process, Jaime was so instrumental in seeing our vision & making it come to life. And throw a pandemic in the mix, Jaime moved our entire wedding vendors & contracts within 2 hours....managed ALL of it!
I'd highly recommend Jaime not just because of her hard work ethic, but she is so sweet & caring and really puts such a personal touch on things.
Every vendor we worked with that had worked with her, had nothin but the nicest things to say about Jaime. And I can see why! She truly is the best!

Peace of Mind on the Big Day

Jaime gave us the best gift we could ask for -- peace of mind on our wedding day. We hired her as day of coordinator, and it was a pleasure working with her in the weeks leading up to the event and on the big day. She helped us nail down details for the timeline and choreograph how all the elements would fit together. It was so helpful having her coordinate with all the vendors and make sure everyone was where they needed to be on the wedding day. And when the bumps came up (literally, our officiant was rear-ended on the way to the wedding), she managed with poise and a problem-solving mindset. It's stressful when things don't go exactly as planned, but I felt calm and cool knowing Jaime had things under control. Thank you, Jaime!!

Made Everything Easy

Jaime helped us plan our August wedding in Newport, RI and we would highly recommend her! We live in New York, and since we were planning our wedding remotely we were keen on having someone with local expertise and Jaime did not disappoint! She helped us with everything from vendor selection to taking care of the minutest details on the days of both our welcome party and wedding. She knows ALL of the vendors in the area, and made the planning process seamless. Jaime offered up great suggestions, but never pushed anything on us and allowed us to make our own decisions. Jaime was indispensible on our wedding day. Not only did she coordinate with all of the vendors and handle 100% of the setup, she came prepared for everything. It was raining on the morning of the wedding and Jaime had thought ahead and purchased cute clear umbrellas to use for pictures. The venue was pushing for us to install a tent for our outdoor ceremony (which we really did not want), but behind the scenes Jaime advocated for us to have an outdoor ceremony without a tent because the rain was scheduled to stop in time. She had also thought of a rain contingency plan in case we did not have a tent and the rain continued. I had an issue with my dress during the reception, and she even helped me cut out boning in my dress – yes she really will do everything! Most of all, my husband and I appreciated how organized and calm she was the day of the wedding. I am sure there were about 100 different things going on in the background, but we were blissfully unaware. In addition to our wedding, Jaime helped us throw a welcome party for all of our guests on the Friday prior to our wedding, which was basically a mini wedding. The event turned out to be spectacular, and we were so impressed with the final product. On the day of, we had to worry about absolutely nothing – we walked into the venue and everything was set up perfectly. Many of our guests weren’t sure how the wedding would top the welcome dinner. We’re not sure what we would have done without Jaime!

Made the Day Easy!

My husband and I employed Jaime Nelson of Eventfully Planned to plan our rehearsal dinner, wedding ceremony, and wedding reception held in the fall of 2018. We started by meeting in person and discussing our overall vision for the event, and we hired her immediately following the meeting. She is patient, and detail-oriented, which you can tell from speaking with her about her weddings.

She was always generous with her time, always quick to respond to emails as we got closer to the event. She had excellent suggestions for vendors and kept a detailed Google doc folder full of information on them, which was added to as more and more details were finalized. She coordinated communication between the vendors and us, and with the venues of our events, with a relaxed demeanor. Any questions that we had for anyone we directed through Jaime, and she was always ready with an answer, or she knew exactly who to talk to for an answer. She also had lots of useful suggestions for creative ideas for décor and ways to make guests feel included during the day of the wedding, as well as solutions for things like room setup that we hadn’t thought of.

When it came to the day of, she was the person behind the scenes making sure that everything ran smoothly. We didn't even see the venue until we were walking down the aisle, and it looked terrific: we didn't have to worry about decoration or deliveries or setup, Jaime handled it all. She was there gently reminding us all of what was coming next, which allowed us to kind of float through the afternoon without worrying at all. We were ahead of time on almost all of the scheduled moments for the day. I cannot stress enough how important this aspect of her service was; it made the day so stress-free and light-hearted.

Never once with any vendor or any interaction during planning or the day of did my husband and I, as an LGBT couple, experience any discrimination or lack of support. Jaime was great with us, and we felt true support from her when discussing the details of our marriage.

Overall, we would recommend hiring Jaime Nelson of Eventfully Planned to plan your wedding event. We thought we would be able to do it all on our own, but she was the best choice we could have possibly made, and truly elevated the overall experience.

Happy Husband and Bride!!

All I can say is wow! Ever since my first interaction with Jaime, she made everything stress-free and very easily manageable. She is extremely organized, timely, and helps you out in every way possible! Newport was a destination wedding for all our 200+ family and friends so I assumed there would be a lot of work on my end to make sure that they weekend went by smoothly. The best part? Jaime was able to give me bite sized pieces and small projects for me to work on slowly throughout the process. I can honestly say that I never felt overwhelmed because of how she nativgated my family and I throughout the entire process. Jaime is reliable, confident, and will execute each task flawlessly! Thank you Jaime for making all our dreams come true!! We received countless compliments that our wedding was the best wedding that are guests have ever been to and we have Jaime to thank for that!

The BEST of the Best

I cannot say enough good things about Jaime. She was absolutely FABULOUS to work with. Always available and willing to email back and forth / jump on a call / meet in person and was always so incredibly patient (I sent a LOT of emails). I worked with Jaime for over a year planning my wedding and never once did she make me feel like there was any other wedding that was more important than mine (though of course she was working with other brides throughout the time, and I'm sure was making them feel the same way!) Leading up to the wedding, Jaime was a detail-oriented (always going through invoices line by line to ensure nothing was missed or added inappropriately), budget-conscious, solutions-oriented, problem-solving extraordinaire, and really always steered us in the right direction. Even when we had wild ideas, Jaime would let us entertain them just long enough to get it out of our system before ultimately coming down to earth and going with the more logical (and cost effective) approach. (But had we stuck with the wild ideas, Jaime would be prepared to make them happen nonetheless). The weekend of the wedding, Jaime absolutely blew us away. Every vendor that we worked with (which was a lot) praised Jaime for being the best of the best - we even got a portapotty upgrade because of her! - and the most organized, on-it wedding planner that they had ever worked with, and that couldn't be more correct. I am a control freak, project manager by nature, but was able to completely let go and enjoy the weekend and wedding day entirely because I knew Jaime had everything handled. Her presence was incredibly calming - she never once even seemed stressed! - and she was always there for my husband and I to turn to whenever we needed anything at all. Jaime was an absolutely AMAZING wedding planner, and the post-wedding-blues are especially difficult knowing that I no longer get to work with her :(

Can't recommend Eventfully Planned enough!
Jaime was an integral part of our wonderful wedding! From the first meeting, she was incredibly kind, organized, and honest with us. Now, having been through the entire process, I can honestly say that our wedding would not have been as organized, beautiful, completely enjoyable to the guests and my husband and I. Every detail was cared for and perfected! Some of Jaime's specific strengths include:
-Organized: Jaime kept us in line with a useful timeline and regular check ins.
-Well-connected: Jaime recommend a fantastic team of vendors (lights/DJ, floral, photographer, catering).
-Communication: Jaime not only kept in touch with us (just the right amount), she also communicated with each of the vendors, which took an incredible amount of work off of our plate.
-Vision: my husband, mother-in-law, and I had ideas about how the wedding would look. Jaime helped make those visions a reality with a meticulous eye for detail.
-Trustworthy: Jaime is SO kind and understanding. We had some family issues that concerned us and relaying our concerns to Jaime took a ton of this deeply personal pressure off of our plates. That was truly Jaime going up and beyond our expectations!
-Hard-working: Jaime works SO hard! Jaime was the first to arrive on the day before and after the wedding. She ensured that the tent was set up and seating was just right. From the start of the planning through the wedding day, Jaime worked tirelessly to pull off the event!

My husband and I (and even our mothers) had the time of our lives and were stress-free, largely because of Jaime! Our guests came up to us throughout the event and after telling us about how beautiful, fun, comfortable our wedding was.

My wedding day was truly amazing and I can't imagine doing it without Jaime's help! With a demanding job and trying to plan a wedding from Boston to take place in Newport in only 6 mos. I needed some serious assistance! Jaime provided choices for vendors that she knew and trusted and it helped tremendously just being able to choose from a small list vs. having to doing all the research myself. I appreciated how organized she was, keeping track of vendor lists, hotel options, schedule, etc. all on clear spreadsheets. We had regular calls to check in on the status of different items and she also accompanied me to a few in-person vendor appointments as well. I wasn't familiar with all of the (many) different options for tent lighting, furniture rentals, dishware, linens and flowers. Having Jaime to talk me through these options was very helpful and it make the process of choosing vendors and items a lot easier. I liked that Jaime was very calm, practical and provided her advice when I needed it but didn't give her opinions overly willingly, allowing us to make sure that our ideas and style were still represented. As our wedding day grew closer, Jaime took on the big task of helping to deliver our welcome bags to a lot of different locations. Her calm, soothing presence was so essential the day of the wedding. For me as a type A, mild control freak, normally letting someone else run the show on the big day would have stressed me out but I was 110% confident that Jaime had everything under control. It was so nice letting go of all the coordination the day of the wedding and simply being a part of it. Thank you Jaime!!

Before I spoke with Jaime my husband and I were totally clueless on how to host an out-of-town wedding. The Bride was in Ohio, I, the mother of the bride in New York and the venue, Rosecliff in Newport. Jaime came highly recommended and once I spoke to her, their was an instant connection. I knew she was the Planner for us. She was going to help us make my daughters dream Wedding Day come true. She did not disappoint!!

All the vendors we worked with said that she was one of their favorite Planners to work with. This put me at ease and as we started working together I knew that she would help us put all pieces in place. This to me, was a complicated wedding but her attention to detail, organizational skills and knowledge of vendors made the planning process painless.

We had 12 shuttle vans moving guests from 2 Hotels(Newport) to Church(Providence) to Cocktail reception(Providence) back to hotel and then to the formal reception at Rosecliff. Everything ran like clockwork - on schedule - Jaime was there every step of the way. The guests were so happy about the convenience of not having to drive - this was a definite winner.

The Wedding Day was spectacular - she did not miss a beat - it all flowed beautifully. It was such a relaxed day knowing that all was in good hands. I cannot recommend Jaime enough. If you are planning a wedding in the Rhode Island area there is no one else to consider except Jaime. It was the best decision we made.

Working with Jaime was the absolute best decision we made in our entire wedding planning process. I cannot possibly say enough good things about her, or properly express what an amazing job she did with our wedding!

We got married at the end of June in Charlestown, Rhode Island. Our 175-person wedding was at my parent’s house, so absolutely every vendor - tents, catering, linens, bathrooms, lighting, you name it! had to be organized and coordinated separately. My husband and I both have very busy jobs, so we relied HEAVILY on Jaime, and worked with her throughout all the planning process leading up to the wedding, and then of course on the day of. She was available to us whenever we wanted to discuss something, and was always incredibly prompt in getting back to us! Additionally, she did an amazing job keeping us on track!

To start, she is so incredibly kind, thoughtful and funny, and my entire family absolutely ADORED her and trusted her with absolutely everything. Beneath the calm exterior Jaime projects is a planning mastermind – she doesn’t miss a SINGLE detail. She also added so many thoughtful small touches that we hadn’t even thought of – and didn’t even necessarily know about! – until the day of.
Additionally, ALL the vendors in the area know her, respect her, and love working with her (literally, every time we met a new vendor they would tell us how much they loved Jaime), and for the few vendors we found from further away that she hadn’t worked with before (our florist and band) she worked beautifully with them as well.
On the day of, we felt like we could 100% relax, because we knew Jaime would take care of everything, which she did! I cannot possibly recommend her more highly!

I cannot say enough good things about Jaime- she is WONDERFUL. I highly recommend her, especially to anyone looking to plan a long distance wedding (she helped us put together our wedding in RI, we live in California) and she could not have made the process easier or more stress-free.

At our first meeting, we walked through a couple of possible venue contracts and it immediately became very, very clear, very quickly, the value she would provide and expertise she would bring to the table throughout the entire process. She started flipping through the contracts, underlining possible points of concerns and things we should get clarified in the contract language, then pulled out a calculator and helped us strategize on where we could cut costs, how to order quantities of things that made sense and possible negotiation strategies we could use with the venues, coming up with ideas we never would have even thought to ask or suggest.

She is super responsive, hyper organized, on top of everything, knowledgable, and excellent with vendor negotiation. When I would send her massive emails with tons of detailed questions, she followed up within a day every single time, and made all the extraneous details and planning completely painless. She’s pragmatic and realistic, without being remotely pushy, and she always had our best interest in mind in everything she did- it really felt like she was our advocate. She gave wonderful recommendations while being conscious of our budget, and we adored every single vendor she endorsed. She went to bat for us anytime there was a snafu with any vendor and we could not have been happier with her.

On a more personal note, she’s incredibly warm, friendly, personable, emotionally intuitive and comes off as completely calm and relaxed even in the midst of the chaos of the event, which made us feel so much more comfortable and happy on the day of. Hiring her was the best decision we could have made.

Jaime is an absolute delight to work with and an incredibly organized, thoughtful and talented wedding planner. She helped me pull off a wedding that required literally everything be brought in from outside (chairs, tables, toilets, food & beverage, tent, transportation everything you can think of). This would have been a nightmare to do on my own and Jaime did it so smoothly and effectively. She was always responsive and so knowledgeable about everything to expect. I can't recommend working with her enough.

Jaime is spectacular!!! After seeing her in action at a wedding that we were a part of, we had to have her for ours. We hired Jaime for day of planning and she was beyond amazing! She made sure our venue planners were placing things in the right spots, that our photographers/ videographers/ florists/ HMU artists were all aware of where and when to be in places. And most importantly she made sure we were on time and where we needed to be. She was a pleasure to have around always checking in on us, and so beyond helpful. Our day was perfect and it absolutely was that way because of Jaime and her team's help! We highly recommend Eventfully Planned as the best of the best!

What can I tell you about Jaime Nelson… STOP contemplating it and hire her now. We hired Jaime as a full service wedding planner after interviewing a few people in the Newport area. What struck me following our phone interview was her attention to detail. While hiring a wedding planner may seem like an unnecessary additional expense, thinking of all that Jaime did to prepare and day of our wedding she is WELL worth her weight in gold. If planning a high end wedding in Newport, look no further. Several Rhode Island vendors I worked with say, “Jaime is one of my favorite planners.” After a unexpected family emergency, I asked Jaime if she thought it would be possible to reschedule our wedding to 9 months earlier. Several months into the wedding planning process with deposits on all of our vendors, Jaime didn’t even blink an eye. I had updated contracts in my email inbox within hours.

The week leading up to our wedding was surprisingly relaxed because from start to finish Jaime handles everything. Welcome bags, scheduling/coordinating vendors, making sure wedding party gifts make it to the locations, getting booze on the trolley, delivering the gifts at the end of the night, Jaime even made sure I had a change of shoes before leaving for the after party. If something goes wrong, the bride and groom will never know about it. Jaime made sure that even the littlest details that I had mentioned were perfect. She is a very calming presence on the wedding day. Jaime truly is a great person, fastidious wedding coordinator, and all of her efforts ensured that our big day was truly unforgettable.

When we started planning our wedding, we were not sure if we needed a day of coordinator, but hiring Jaime Nelson was one of the best decisions that we made. From the first time we spoke, Jaime was extremely responsive and professional. She took the time to understand our vision for our big day, and executed it perfectly. When we met with Jaime before our wedding, she offered lots of helpful ideas and advice based on her prior experience. She was present at our ceremony rehearsal and helped to keep things moving smoothly. For our reception, we had tons of candle holders that we planned to use as centerpieces and to decorate the space. Jaime took care of getting all of these items to the venue, and did an amazing job of setting everything up on the day of the wedding. Both the ceremony and reception space were perfect- intimate, beautiful and exactly what we had envisioned. I don't know how we would have pulled it off without Jaime! Jaime also coordinated all of the vendors and made sure that everything went smoothly. At the end of the wedding, Jaime and her assistant packed up all of our items so that we just needed to go pick them up from the venue the next day. Hiring Jaime allowed me to enjoy my wedding day, without worrying about anything. Most importantly, Jaime was extremely pleasant to work with. She was always smiling, and our wedding party and parents all commented how nice she was. We are so happy that we hired Jaime!

Where to begin! Jaime is amazing! She gave us the most incredible wedding - one that will be remembered forever by many!

Whatever she did behind the scenes allowed us to have the best time and, of course, we had complete faith in her. What she did that we did know about was beautiful- everything from coordinating the vendors and the bridesmaids/groomsmen, answering our last minute questions, suggesting new vendors, and patiently working with us throughout the year.

Some specifics: She has an eye for decor and is always great to rely on for her opinion; She is nimble, quick thinking, and flexible when faced with an unexpected change; If there was ever an issue, she presented alternatives calmly and never threw a situation into our laps to deal with alone; She is speedy at communication and will never forget to respond to an email.

She is very tactful and willingly interceded with vendors on our behalf; she suggested wonderful, reliable and talented vendors. We are from out of state and having the wedding at our private home, but made it up to Rhode Island a few of times for planning weekends. Jaime was always very happy to accommodate meeting us. We asked Jaime's opinion on many subjects and received thoughtful answers and options that she also tailored for us as she got to know us. She was always patient about letting us add details here and there.

Her assistants helping the day of the wedding were friendly and professional. They completely took care of the key players of our wedding party the entire evening.

Honestly, we cannot sing her praises enough. We are all in agreement that, out of every decision we made, hiring Jaime is at the top of the list!

Jaime Nelson is nothing short of amazing at what she does. My now husband and I hired her as a partial planner for our wedding. The wedding was home based which meant there was a lot more planning that we had to accomplish. Jaime provided us with many options for venders and was able to keep our budget in mind along the way. She and her assistants were incredibly helpful with setting up before the wedding. I never thought that I would be able to feel so relaxed for my wedding day. We were in good hands with Jaime and Eventfully Planned. I would recommend her in a heartbeat and they are worth every penny! Thanks for everything, Jaime!

Jaime is the ABSOLUTE BEST and I cannot even begin to say enough good things about her. Multiple guests at my wedding not only told me how my wedding was one of the most beautiful and most fun that they ever attended (and they’ve attend many fabulous weddings), but could not get over how every detail was thought of and how seamlessly it ran – this was not me and all Jaime. I was planning a Newport wedding from New York and I could not have done it without her. I threw a big welcome dinner lobster bake for all of my guests as well as a wedding and she managed BOTH effortlessly (from decoration to transportation to managing all the vendors, to compiling delivery gift bags to B&Bs all over newport). No matter how many disjointed emails/texts I sent over the course of my wedding planning year – and I sent a ton, Jaime was always incredibly responsive, kind and organized. She is incredibly efficient, but is always smiling. She is a ‘YES we can’ type of person she figures out how to make your ideas work. She offered tons of ideas and had many options for me at all price points, and was always practical – never pushing anything on me. She looked into everything I asked about, presented me with the sweetest and most professional vendors, but also was supportive of any vendors I found on my own. At my welcome dinner and on my wedding day, I did not worry about one thing because Jaime was in the background running the show! She set up everything, managed my MANY vendors, even had me send her number along to guests. I am so glad I chose Jaime and would highly recommend her to any bride. Her assistant was wonderful too.

Jaime was an absolute lifesaver! She made my husband and I's wedding day a perfect dream, and she was so fun to work with! I loved her organization when helping me find vendors, and love how each vendor gushed about how much they loved working with her! It felt great having someone who I already knew was highly regarded by the rest of the wedding team, and her communication with them, my family and myself was superb! Thanks for making all of our dreams come true Jaime!

Before I met Jaime I was nervous about how to plan a wedding from out-of-state ate Rosecliff - Jaime allayed all those nerves from the moment we first met! Jaime has endless knowledge and is very diplomatic - she will give you recommendations but lays out the facts so you can decide. It makes the vendor process easy and fun vs. overwhelming when you're working with Jaime! Jaime maintains a detailed tightly run day-of schedule while still being relaxed (and keeping you relaxed!) leading up to / on your wedding day. Beyond Jaime's boundless knowledge, professionalism - she does an INCREDIBLE job executing on your wedding day. My husband and I were floored at how little we / our family had to worry about everything - Jaime had thought through every detail and contingency that we had not. Beyond that, Jaime is simply one of the most upbeat and pleasant people to work with - our vendors repeatedly mentioned how much they loved working with Jaime (which is important when she's your point person for all the vendors). We would recommend Jaime to anyone who is looking to plan a wedding in Rhode Island - she helped us create a truly dream day!

If you're planning to have a wedding in Rhode Island, Jaime is hands down the best there is. My fiance and I had an outdoor September wedding, so we had to bring everything to the site... decorations, catering, photography, you name it. For each decision, she would recommend a few options, but always was flexible if we came up with crazy ideas of our own. She helped us come up with creative decorations that fit within our autumn woodland theme, she found and introduced an incredibly professional catering company (the food was DELICIOUS), and made sure all the pieces came together at the right time. We ended up with a very tailored wedding, and we couldn't have been happier. On top of it all, Jaime goes through it all being completely down-to-earth and authentic. You can tell that she really wants to make your wedding as close to perfect as it can be, and still have a realistic view of what is or isn't possible. We couldn't have pulled it off without you Jaime! Thank you so much!

I cannot recommend Jaime highly enough to anyone getting married in the Newport, Rhode Island area. From the first meeting, I knew that she would be able to take my vision and make it a reality, without blowing past the budget. She had great ideas about how to save money on things, and she has great contacts both in and around Newport. She was friendly and calm and always responsive to my emails, no matter when I sent them and what the subject was. I would get ideas at all hours of the day about random details, like what kind of silverware I wanted, and I knew that all I had to do was send one email and it would be taken care of. Working with her made the whole process stress-free and easy, no mean feat given that I was planning from out of town.

My wedding was everything that I thought it was going to be, and it was all thanks to Jaime. Not a single thing went wrong (that I knew of), and both my mom and I had the times of our lives. The day was totally stress free, and I got to spend every minute enjoying my family and friends. If you're getting married in Rhode Island, choose Jaime!!

Jaime is amazing! She is very knowledgable and experienced in event planning, and yet she truly listened to what was important to us throughout the process. Jaime was very easy to communicate with and always quick to respond to our questions and ideas. She is both very kind and supportive, yet also very professional and assertive with vendors. It was such a relief to have her navigating all the business aspects of wedding planning so we could focus on the heart and soul of the day.

Jaime was amazing to work with -- she was a bottomless source of knowledge and recommendations, and a scheduling master! We could never have had the wedding of our dreams without the help of Jaime and Karen guiding us every step of the way. They did so so much for us, and everything turned out beautifully. Every vendor we talked to also showered praise for Jaime and Eventfully Planned. It really helps when all your vendors love your wedding planner and they all jive together. Beyond that, you could just really feel that Jaime and Karen CARED about us, and were always available for the littlest or biggest thing. The execution on the day of by Karen was flawless. Countless guests told us it was the best wedding they have ever been to!! It was certainly more magical for us than we ever could have dreamed:):) Thank you so much, Jaime and Karen!

I hired Jaime as a Day-Of Coordinator and it was the best decision I made for our September wedding!

My husband and I chose a venue where you had to bring everything in - which meant a lot of vendors to juggle. We also picked a place that is fairly new to doing weddings which was another added challenge. AND on top of all of that, my husband and I had a very large wedding party.

Jaime did an amazing job keeping everything organized and keeping us on time. The day of the wedding someone actually passed out on the dock we were getting married on right before we went to walk down the aisle, and Jaime kept everyone calm, informed everyone what was happening and kept everything moving us normally as possible.

In addition to everything she did for the wedding, she completely picked up the house the girls got ready in which happened to be right next to our venue. It was a huge huge help. Having Jaime allowed me to enjoy the wedding we had spent so long planning without having to worry about the hiccups!

Jaime was an incredible planner. She thought of everything and really understood my untraditional vision. Jaime is creative and thoughtful, both of which are great qualities in a wedding planner. I felt comfortable asking her anything--she was incredibly supportive throughout the process!

We got married at a unique venue without a coordinator of any kind. That meant that we had to think of everything. Not only did Jaime make sure we covered all of the bases, but she helped me pull off the wedding of my dreams.

Our summer wedding at Rosecliff was spectacular thanks to Jaime. I have known Jaime on a personal level for years and always admired her driven and kind hearted nature. Shortly after getting engaged we realized we had no idea where to begin in planning a wedding for over 200 people in our dream location, Newport. Thats when I immediately called Jaime. She helped us through every step of the process from venue selection, to finding the best vendors, to planning our day of schedule to make sure we were on time for pictures, and so much more. We had a huge ancestry table that was very important to my mother, and Jaime made sure that among other things looked perfect on our wedding day. She even put together custom take home cake boxes for me when I just didnt have the time. Jaime really does it all and allows you to truly relax and enjoy your special day. I highly recommend hiring Jaime.

My wedding would not have happened without Jaime. She made me feel like my event was the only one on her calendar, as she was always available via phone, text and email. She also made what would have been a highly stressful (210 person tented wedding on private residence in a different city than the one I live in) a completely stress free event that I was just very excited about. of all the things that we people consider spending money on for a big event, Jaime is by far the most valuable and critical. I cannot emphasize this enough!

I highly recommend Eventfully Planned- Jaime and her team were amazing!! We booked her as the day-of coordinator for our wedding and we could not have asked for the day to run more smoothly. She also provided us wonderful recommendations for various vendors during the wedding planning process. Jaime was responsive, organized, and extremely talented at coordinating all the moving parts of a wedding! Jaime and Karen ensured everything was taken care of on the day-of and we couldn't have asked for a more perfect day!

Deciding to work with Jaime Nelson was absolutely the best decision we made during our entire wedding planning process. I reached out to her in January 2016, about a month after we got engaged. My fiancé and I were dead set on an August date and knew that we wanted a tented wedding at my parents' beach home in Westport, MA. Despite giving her just 7 months to create our venue from scratch, everything was executed to absolute perfection. We live in DC and know next to nothing about vendors in the area, so we relied on Jaime 110% for our vendor choices. She knocked it out of the park with her recommendations and secured the best band, the best photographer, the best caterer, etc etc. While I wasn't a picky bride, per se, I did definitely have an overall idea of how I wanted our weekend to be and how I wanted our wedding day to look. Jaime went above and beyond, creating an even more gorgeous day than I was hoping for.

Being able to relax during the days leading up to your wedding weekend (and on your wedding day itself!) is so invaluable and is something that I don't think you can truly appreciate until it's all over. My fiancé and I knew that our wedding weekend was absolutely in the best hands, which allowed us to focus on our guests and on each other without worrying about a thing. I knew that, if something did go wrong (which, to my knowledge, nothing did!), Jaime would take care of it.

To sum it up - if you've yet to choose a planner, choose Jaime & her team. It will be, hands down, the smartest decision you make while planning.

Eventfully Planned's reply:

THANK YOU!! Oh my gosh... you and I have the same mind! I just sent you a review request from The Knot and went online to wedding wire and saw this on here! I miss you already! Have a wonderful honeymoon!

My now husband and I met with Jaime very early into our two year engagement. We knew we wanted a venue where we could bring in all our own vendors and we knew we would need help. Jaime was the second wedding planner we met with and we knew 5 minutes into the meeting she was the one. She is patient, understanding, organized and will never tell you no, regardless of how insane your comment is, she will always say "we can try" ( I heard that a lot). She understands that this is your day and your vision and her job is do whatever she needs to in order to make it come to life. From recommending and handling vendors to reviewing rental orders and catching mistakes, to making you appointment schedules with lunchtime built in - she literally thinks of everything and is on top of every single detail. Jaime and her team made our wedding day seamless so much so that my bridesmaids even commented on how they wished their days had gone more like mine and that they had hired a planner. I'm sure a million things went wrong but had no idea, we even had to implement our rain plan last minute and my day could not have been more perfect. Jaime and her team allowed me to focus on getting married and not worry about the details. In addition to being amazing at what she does she is also an incredible person and someone you want around you. She truly cares about and loves every one of her brides and it is obvious from the minute you meet her. My husband and I still say that hiring Jaime was one of the best decisions we made and was worth every single penny.

Hire her! She is the best. Jaime planned my son’s wedding from beginning to end. The bride and groom live out of state and their demanding job/school commitments would have made planning their RI wedding difficult and stressful if it weren’t for the most amazing wedding planner ever! Jaime’s knowledge and experience, attention to detail, her calm, professionalism and good humor provided peace of mind to all of us throughout the year and a half of planning and right through to the end of a wonderful wedding weekend. My son and daughter-in-law wanted a small, more casual, non-traditional wedding than many pictured on this site. Jaime listened carefully to their vision and helped create exactly what they wanted. In fact, in all ways the wedding exceeded our expectations because of the guidance and help we got from Jaime. Whether you are planning a large extravaganza or a small intimate wedding like my son’s, you will find no one better in this business than Jaime.

I can not say enough good words about Jaime and I truly do not know where to start in writing this review. We worked with her in the past for my sister's wedding and found her to be one of the best vendors we could have had! As soon as I got engaged we knew we had to contact her and book! She is so approachable and strikes the perfect balance of warmth, professionalism and efficiency. We live in Ct but were planning our big day to include a church ceremony and reception at Rosecliff. I consider myself a pretty organized person but it can get somewhat overwhelming coordinating with so many vendors, especially when out of town. I should not have been surprised by this, but each and every one of my vendors had worked with her in the past and praised her. I used her for the "day of package" but really I consulted her all along the planning process and found her input to be invaluable. She created a timeline that highlighted all important time frames/contact information and confirmed all of this info with my vendors in the days leading up to my wedding. Tasks that she did for the actual day of included basically running the rehearsal, setting up and breaking down decorations in the church, coordinating transportation between 2 different hotel blocks, picking up and delivering food to both my fiancé and I and acting as the liaison between vendors. She gives realistic advice, keeps your budget in mind and does anything she can to make your vision a reality-all with a smile on her face! I did not even carry my phone with me that day nor did my sisters and Mom-all contact went through Jaime and it went off flawlessly. She truly provided a sense of ease that is so important to have in order to enjoy yourself. Jaime, thank you again for everything!

Jaime was a true pleasure to work with. She showed a sincere appreciation to understand our unique needs - which was especially important for our fusion Indian and American wedding. She came to my house prior to the wedding to view all the decor and ensure that she fully understood my expectations for the day. On the wedding day itself, Jaime's team ensured that all of the guests were comfortable, kept all of the activities running on time and made sure that everything was in its proper place to make our special day really come to life. Jaime is professional, genuine and always willing to brainstorm how to achieve the experience you want without having to spend a fortune to do it! I would highly recommend Eventfully Planned to any bride looking for that much needed sanity check and trusted advisor to plan your big day.

Jaime and her team are simply the best! She made our wedding dreams come true before our eyes. She is professional and experienced with great industry connections. She goes above and beyond for the bride, groom, wedding party, and family. I did not worrry about a thing the day of because I trusted her 100% to execute our vision. Most importantly, her personality is awesome. She is easy to work with and treated us so well. We worked together for over a year and when our wedding was over, I was sad to not have excuses to hang out with Jaime. If you considering hiring her, do it! It was the best decision we made during the planning process.

It is impossible to sum up Jaime and our experience with Eventfully Planned in a small paragraph. My now husband and I hired Jaime two years prior to our wedding. There is no doubt that Jaime was THE best decision we made during the process.

Jaime is the most genuine and kindest person. She genuinely cares for her couples which was noticeable from our very first meeting. What we loved about her was that she was honest as well. She will help you stuck to your budget and give you suggestions along the way. Never once did we feel pressured to make a decision in a certain direction. Furthermore, Jaime went to great lengths to advocate for us throughout the process. She helped us navigate our way through a web of vendors and services. When we asked her opinion, she made critical suggestions that allowed us to create a unique day with an amazing team of people.

Jaime is also organized. Incredibly organized! She understands the potential stresses of planning and counters them with patience and a kick butt detailed to-do list. More than this, my husband and I never felt stressed through the entire (two year!) process. This is due to Jaime's oversight and slow dissemination of tasks.

Beside being an organized, genuine, and overall great person, Jaime was the essential part of the days leading up to our wedding. She seamlessly ran our rehearsal and allowed me to bring in a rediculous amount of decor to our venue. She worked in tandem with our venue (The Hope Club in Providence) to make the entire wedding day flow like I had only dreamed. She and Hadley (her assistant) were there every step of the way in the big day. They handled everything from the timeline to the smallest details of decor placement and wedding party organization. We have told everyone that Jaime was the smartest and best decision we made for our wedding. She assembled the most spectacular team of people and gave us the family-oriented party we were hoping for.
Eventfully Planned is the best!

I started working with Jaime and her team 2 months prior to my wedding when my original wedding planner could no longer perform the service. Jaime is detailed oriented and has excellent responsiveness. She accommodated every ask. My wedding weekend was stress free and ran smoothly because of Jaime and her team. I highly recommend her services.

Jaime worked with me and my husband for about a year to plan our wedding. Our plans were a challenge - it took place in a big field next to a drafty New England house that offered nothing in terms of infrastructure or support for the event. We had to import every single thing to the space - bathrooms, bar, tent, heat, electricity - the whole nine yards.

I also wanted a few a-typical features in my wedding, like a New Orleans second-line wedding parade from the ceremony site to the reception, an off-season bonfire, and a pool party in 50 degree weather the night before the wedding. The seasons were changing, and we had no idea what the weather was going to be like, so we had to prepare for a lot of scenarios.

Jaime held everything together like glue. She is brilliant and has a mind for details like a steel trap. She also had a ton of creative ideas and solutions when I was stumped or panicked by an obstacle. Best of all, she was totally calm and even-keeled during the whole process, which was so important to me. I have been in weddings where the planner is as stressed as the bride, and it's unpleasant for everyone. Jaime is the definition of grace under fire, and helped my husband and I pull off the weird and beautiful wedding of our dreams!

And a bonus, she is very reasonably priced and saved us a ton of money in the mistakes we would have made trying to hold an event with no experience!

I couldn't recommend her more. Please work with her!

Prior to booking Jaime Nelson for my day-of wedding planner, I did my research. Jaime just stood out on so many levels. She is extremely organized and detail oriented and has a wealth of experience. From the very first conversation, I was extremely impressed by her and immediately knew we were in good hands. Throughout the many months leading up to my wedding, Jaime was very responsive and so helpful - I definitely trusted her and her expertise and valued her insight. Having peace of mind on my wedding day was invaluable. Jaime was my peace of mind. She has such a calming presence that put me at ease. She also had two fabulous assistants working with her that aided in such a seamless and magical day. There were a few glitches on my wedding day (due to problems with other vendors) but, you would never have known because Jaime took care of it immediately. Like I stated before, having peace of mind on your wedding day is invaluable. Jaime was absolutely essential to ensuring our wedding day ran smoothly and she and her team truly exceeded our expectations! We couldn't have been more thrilled with our experience and whole-heartedly recommend Jaime without hesitation!

I would absolutely recommend Eventfully Planned to help calm your wedding anxieties and enhance your wedding day. I hired Jaime as a day-of coordinator, but her time beyond exceeded that role. I met with Jaime when I initially booked to go over details, and then we exchanged numerous emails the few months before my wedding as final details became set. Jaime and her assistant were thorough, thoughtful, and accommodating. Jaime actually ran my rehearsal so that my officiant wouldn't have to drive an hour each way for a half hour rehearsal. I gave her lots of the small things that needed to get to my wedding -- fans, favors, programs, etc. -- and she took care of each little detail with care. The morning of my wedding, Jaime and her assistant picked up lunch (ordered by me) for the wedding party as we got ready -- as planned -- but when we realized that I had forgotten drinks and buns, they immediately went to the store and took care of it! Jaime put me at complete ease throughout my wedding day, knowing that there was someone just attending to the details that I would be unable to focus on while busy getting married. Hiring Jaime was a great decision, and I would absolutely recommend her to others!!!

Eventfully Planned's reply:

Jessica, What a nice surprise to hear from you with this review! Thank you for taking the time to write that! Working your wedding was a true pleasure! I hope you're enjoying married life and your school year is going well!

I can't say enough good things about Jamie! Without getting into details I already fired one wedding planner before her and spoke with several others. As soon as I spoke with Jamie I knew I found the right person. Jamie is like your best friend, your sanity, and your answer to everything leading up to the wedding. Being a Taurus and an only child I can be difficult. Anyone who knows me knows I don't deal with bs and I can be hard to please, okay very hard to please. Jamie did an excellent job. She really can get along with anyone and knows how to deal with every person and situation that arises. She is so organized and quick to come up with solutions. Even though I only had her for the wknd of she made me feel welcome to call her whenever I needed. Text, email, phone, or in person meeting- she would do it. I had no problem handing over all the control to her because I knew I was in good hands with her and I sure was! She didn't miss a beat- from bringing us champagne, water, and food in our hotel room, to driving back and forth from venue to hotel on the day of just bc she could hear in my voice I needed some piece of mind, to figuring and executing transportation for 130+ guest staying at about half a dozen different hotels, she did it all. She will help you as much or as little as you want and can take on as much or as little as you want her too. I really can't say enough great things about her. If you need an extra hand or an extra ten hands, she's the one to call. She's sweet, she's fun, she's smart, organized and so on top of things. She will make you feel like you are the only wedding she has and you are the most important person to her at that time. And now that the wedding is over I'm ready to hang out as friends bc she is an AWESOME person to be around!

We cannot say enough about the amazingness of Jamie Nelson and her staff with Eventfully Planned .. Jamie was our "day of coordinator" which was truly a life saver!! Literally every single little or big thing on our wedding day, Jamie had complete control .. And the coolest thing was that all the other vendors told us that about her too.. "Ohh you have Jamie? You've got not a worry in the world" and we can definitely attest to the absolute truth of that... Jamie Nelson/Eventfully Planned is by far the absolute BEST choice if you want to make sure you have the most seamless non stressful wedding experience .. No matter how big or how small , how glamorous or not... Eventfully Planned has everything you could ever imagine!

What a wonderful decision we made in hiring Jaime Nelson as our wedding planner! My fiancé and I were introduced to Jaime by family living in Rhode Island (we currently live in Chicago), and knowing we wanted our wedding in Newport, she was the clear choice. I knew she was an expert at her profession after our first phone call, and would help make our destination wedding thoughts and ideas come to life. We loved all of Jaime's vendor recommendations and each time we said we were working with Jaime, they all had lovely things to say about her which always made us feel great. When the wedding weekend was upon us, all of the behind-the-scenes work was flawless. We were able to just enjoy the weekend knowing that Jaime was running the show, and everything went off without a hitch. I highly recommend Jaime for the brides that want a wedding professional, confidant and friend to take this amazing journey with them, and to be there for them every step of the way!

Jamie is a angel from Wedding Planning Heaven!
Our wedding was going to be small. My fiancee and I thought we could handle all the details on our own. We were wrong. When we realized we needed a wedding planner, we were lucky to find that Jamie was available. She was truly WONDERFUL. Jamie is extremely organized, professional, unflappable in any number of circumstances. She will think of the questions you won't and on the day of your wedding, she will be the best liaison with the people who work at the venue, the band, the photographer, every member of your wedding day team. She is the type of person who can make your grandmother feel welcome and get teenagers to smile for pictures.
On our wedding day, it's an understatement to say that I was nervous, Jamie was like a calming force from heaven. She and her assistant seemed to be everywhere they were needed before someone asked for them. When my husband and I look back on our wedding day, we know Jamie was a big part of how magical and memorable our day was. We were truly lucky to get to work with her on one of the most significant events of our lives together.

Jamie is the best! When my husband and I began our wedding planning process we had no idea where to even start. When Jamie met with us, she got a sense of the vibe and style we wanted and then proceeded to brainstorm with us a multitude of ideas that were right on par with our aesthetic, preference, and budget, and helped guide us in the exact right direction, making all of our thoughts and wishes a reality.
She is extremely knowledgeable about venues and locations throughout Rhode Island and was able to give sincere and honest opinions about the different venders we were looking into. She recommended several venders that she thought were the best options for us and then we were able to pick and choose from there. I don't know what our wedding would have need without these perfect recommendations. We loved all of our venders and we would not have found them without Jamie. She also handled everything regarding our venders. She set up meetings for us, kept us organized, and helped us stay on top of our appointments and deadlines. Jamie did all of these tasks in a way that made us feel completely comfortable and confident. She was like our great friend who was happy to do all the dirty work for us. She spent so much time going to different venues and appointments with us and did a great job of recording all the details, big and small, so that no bit of information was forgotten. And if there was something we missed or didn't know, she promptly found that information out.
There were so many events that happened that made our wedding truly spectacular and they would not have happened without her. Our band for instance was amazing, and the lead band member flew from New Orleans for our wedding. I found this information out at the end of the wedding night, as I was telling him what an unreal and awesome job the band did. When I found out he was from New Orleans I asked him why he would fly all the way to RI for a wedding- he responded that the planning process with Jamie

We had our wedding at my parents' house in Westport, MA and we knew from the start that we needed a wedding planner to guide us on exactly what needed to be done to pull this off. Jaime was amazing from the start. Not only was she well organized and efficient, but her calm demeanor made such a positive difference in the whole planning and execution process.
There are so many vendors and moving parts that go into a tented wedding at a home, so I was really nervous about the whole process in the beginning. Jaime put my nerves at ease and in the end she managed an amazing day- I wouldn’t have changed anything.
Jaime’s vendor suggestions were invaluable, and I also appreciated her ability to work with new vendors. Our friends and relatives all commented on how amazing the day was and how great of job our wedding coordinator did. It’s clear that Jaime goes above and beyond for her clients, and I could not recommend her more to anyone.

Jaime was a fabulous wedding planner for beginning to the end. Having to plan a Newport wedding from across the country was definitely difficult and I couldn't have done it without her!

When I was trying to narrow down the choices, I spoke to handful of planners over the phone. Everyone seemed very experienced but I simply felt the most comfortable talking with Jaime. Even though it was just an introductory phone, we pretty much seamlessly started throwing around ideas and talking about actual plans already. So I knew she was the one for the job.

She gave fantastic advice and suggestions for all the vendors that we needed but never pressured to use anyone and was always open to our thoughts and preferences. For the couple days that we had in town to meet with all these vendors, she created a helpful itinerary and accompanied us whenever you could. She was readily available via phone or email to answer any questions I had during the entire process. Despite the time difference, we made our phone convos work.

And of course during the wedding weekend, she helped coordinate all the events and made sure everyone was taken care from. She was there from my hair/make up to the very end delivering items back to my hotel room.

Sure wedding planning is not cheap but if you have room if your budget, it's totally worth it when you have someone great like Jaime!

Jamie is a godsend.

I had met/chatted with a couple of coordinators before talking with Jamie. Immediately, I knew that she was exactly who we wanted to work with on our wedding day. We had a very large wedding (nearly 260 guests) at Fort Adams. Many of our guests traveled from outside of Rhode Island (NYC, Boston, Washington DC, Savannah, Baltimore, California) and the country (Ireland, Spain, Switzerland). While our guest count was high, we envisioned a deeply personal and intimate reception. It was because of Jamie that we were able to fulfill this vision.

Jamie is organized - which for a Type A control freak is one of the highest compliments I can give. Jamie got my husband and I focused on items when necessary, was an excellent sounding board for ideas, and executed our vision for the day flawlessly.

Jamie is calm and collected. You know you are in great hands with Jamie at the helm.

Jamie is well respected within the community and has a phenomenal relationship with vendors. When I would call someone and mention that I was working with Jamie, they immediately sang her praises.

Lastly, the entire day felt relaxed, calm, natural, personal, and fun. Everything felt easy on the day of our wedding, which is a testament to planning before and execution during the reception.

Let’s see how do a put this…..”Jaime Nelson is the Best Wedding Planner Ever” She simply made the most amazing weekend of my life go off without a hitch! We spent about 21 months planning my wedding… and I can truly say it was a pleasure working with Jaime. Without her I would have been the stressed out New Yorker trying figure out a Newport Wedding. She set up vendor appointments, joined me for multiple appointments, negotiated contracts and most of all keep me on point throughout the entire planning process.
The day of my wedding was so fun! I didn’t even need to think about anything! Jaime arrived in my hotel suite bright an early with her assistant to help with the entire day events. I had the pleasure of working with her good friend Susan Sancomb my photographer they actually went over to Newport together and mapped out all the sites we were going to use for my wedding day photos. We were able to get some pretty amazing pictures at the Marble House and at The Rosecliff after the ceremony. Check out her website there is a blog from my 6.21.14 wedding http://sancombphotography.com .
My mom and I just can’t stop thanking Jaime for such a fabulous experience we had working with her.
I would recommend Eventfully Planned a million times over… I hope that every Newport Bride can experience the way I felt on my wedding day it was absolutely perfect!
Best,
Kerri Martin

At my wedding my aunt asked me "what would you have done without your planner?" I truly can't imagine (nor do I want to) what my wedding day and the planning process would have been like without Jaime Nelson and Eventfully Planned. Throughout the planning process, Jaime was always there to offer honest advice and expert opinions when I needed them. I still cringe when I think of some of the decisions I would have made or forgotten to make without her. No matter how prepared or organized the bride, nothing can substitute for years of experience and hundreds of weddings, not to mention a Newport native's insider knowledge of the area and industry. The relief of knowing Jaime was in my corner gave me the PRICELESS experience of actually enjoying my wedding planning!
When the wedding day came Jaime made sure I was nothing but a bride and my only job was to marry my husband- she took care of EVERYTHING. Jaime manages to be both a professional and a friend. Do not underestimate how important it is to have people you LIKE there on your wedding day. Jaime will not only orchestrate the PERFECT wedding day, but is also someone you'll want there pinning in your veil and helping you take a couple deep breaths before walking down the aisle.
From amazing vendor suggestions, to dealing with last minute inclement weather I could not have asked for a better experience with Jaime at Eventfully Planned. If you want a fun wedding planning process leading up to a beautiful stress-free wedding, then choose Eventfully Planned!

Jaime was fantastic work with, both before our wedding and certainly the day of. She was constantly the person I looked to that day with any little question or concern. She and her team were great at making sure my groom and I had everything we needed (drinks, food, water on a hot day, etc). Most of our planning was done via email or phone since we weren't always in Rhode Island, and Jaime made that very easy. Can't say enough about how much we loved her! Thanks Jaime!

Jaime from Eventfully Planned was a fantastic wedding planner. I was planning my wedding remotely and was super busy with my job. She was patient and helped walk me through all of the things I needed to do and decisions I needed to make. Additionally, she was amazing on the day of the event. She made sure that everything ran smoothly and that I didn't even notice she was doing it - I didn't have to think about anything!

Jaime is just the best. Period!

We hired Jaime for day-of coordination. I planned our wedding from afar and had two in-person meetings with Jaime when I came up to Rhode Island. She was always happy to meet with us or respond to an email even months before our wedding. She called all our vendors the week of the wedding to confirm final details, put together a detailed day-of timeline, and handled all the decor/items hauling - even bringing everything back to my parents at the hotel at the end of the night! Jaime's assistant checked in on the bridal party while we were getting ready and having her with us at that time was a really nice touch - not only to help make sure we were on time, but to answer questions and generally help out with the little things while we were getting ready.

I tend to be a pretty Type A kind of person, with tons of detailed spreadsheets and lists, and I trusted Jaime to take all the information I handed off to her and run with it. She has tons of experience and is such a calming presence. I really cannot picture our wedding day without Jaime - I don't know who would have taken care of all the things she did! I HIGHLY recommend Eventfully Planned!

For as far back as I can remember I have always wanted to get married at my parent's home in Lincoln, RI. When the time finally came to make that dream a reality, it was without hesitation that my mother and I decided we would need a wedding planner to help us with the process. After one meeting with Jaime, it was clear that we wanted to work with her- she was kind, sweet and funny, but most of all just by sitting and speaking with her, we had confidence that she would do all she could to make my wedding day the most memorable day of my life.

The quality that I admire most about Jaime's work as my wedding planner was her honesty about areas that she was not as familiar with and her dedication to making sure that the next time we met or spoke, she was the authority that very thing she was going to 'look into'. I really appreciated that I never felt like she was trying to impress me- leaving a good impression came naturally to her.

Jaime was a calming presence during the chaos that was ensuing at my parent's home in the days leading up to the wedding, and I cannot begin to describe on how many occasions the phrase 'Thank God for Jaime' was said and how much we meant it.

When my wedding day finally arrived, I had so many comments from family, friends, the photographer and videographer that I was so 'calm' and not a crazy nervous bride and I thank Jaime for allowing me to breathe and take it all in and not miss a single moment to stress or nerves. To see my parents home transform into the setting for my wedding was magical and the whole day seemed like a fairytale- and Jaime was truly like my fairy godmother.

Jaime is amazing. Period.

She and her two assistants coordinated our wedding day and she made everything run so smoothly, exactly the way I wanted, or even better than I could've imagined! On the wedding day she was always there, thinking of things I didn't know needed to get done and taking care of it before I even knew it had happened. They also were just wonderfully sweet and accommodating people to have around all day, all of my guests fell in love with them!

In the planning of the wedding she and I talked a few different times and she had so many great suggestions for flow, timing of the day and helping me layout where everything was going to be (just to name a few!). For every situation I had questions about, she knew the pros and cons and laid it all out for me so I could make the best decision. I so appreciated her honesty and experience, she helped me avoid a lot of potential planning faux pas!

She always put in the extra effort too, doing things just above and beyond. My Aunt officiated our wedding so we were all first timers to the details of directing the ceremony. The three of them came to the rehearsal to check out the venue and see where everything was to prep for the wedding day. Then she walked us through the whole wedding ceremony process and we looked like professionals the next day :)

I'm also a wedding photographer and have worked with Jaime before on multiple weddings. She was the first person I called once we had a venue and idea of how the day was going to lay out. I just knew she was the only one for the job and she made our wedding day the best it could've been!

Thank you so much Eventfully Planned!!!!!!

Where do I begin, I contacted Jaime right after my new husband and I got engaged. I was looking for someone who would be able to take charge on our wedding day in Rhode Island. My husband and I, both being Active Duty Military, were very familiar with taking change and leading an event. With Jaime's past military history and extensive wedding portfolio, we knew she would be the one to take charge and allow us to relax and enjoy our day. She made planning an event from California for a Rhode Island wedding a breeze. I only came to Rhode Island twice for plannjng, and she was able to work with my schedule to get everything done. Other than picking the theme, Jaime was my expert advice on venders, locations, and decorations. I hired her for all planning up to the wedding and day of coordination, and it was well worth it. My wedding had some quick changes and rain up to a minute before the ceremony, and never once did I have to worry about whether my day was going to be perfect no matter what. Jaime took charge and directed vendors and guests, so that my husband and I did not have to do so, which we do too much in the military. She as well as her staff are nkt only extremely professional but a blessing, and I could not ask for a better leader for an amazing event.

Jaime of Eventfully Planned is so great, we were very fortunate to have her help us plan and execute our wedding. She is so friendly and down to earth and--unlike some others we've encountered--more than happy to work with you to meet whatever budget you set. She has great connections throughout the RI/MA area and almost all of our vendors came from her recommendations. We mainly relied on her for logistical help and vendor recommendations because we already had some basic ideas for the decor. Her and her assistants' help on the day before and day of was invaluable. We had a friend marrying us, and none of us really knew the order of events, but Jaime and her assistant Karen got us squared away and everything went really smoothly. She coordinated vendor deliveries and payments--including some big last minute changes, set everything up perfectly, and dealt with issues as they came up throughout the night so we didn't have to. They also handled the uncertainty of whether the ceremony would be outside or inside, based on the weather, without missing a beat. In what I think is a big compliment to her, one of our guests asked after the fact how we managed everything, and my mom replied that we had a wedding coordinator. She was shocked, because she never noticed Jaime at the reception or ceremony. I think this really speaks to the fact that Jaime and her assistants get everything done but do not make themselves the center of attention. We were really happy overall and would recommend Eventfully Planned to others.

I used Eventfully Planned for my day of coordinator for my wedding at Linden Place this past May. I really can not say enough about Jamie and her assistant. My husband and I both agreed that she was the best money spent for our wedding. All my guest and bridal party kept commenting to me how I was the " calmest bride they have ever seen" that was all due to Jamie. From our first conversation I knew I made the right decision. All my guest complimented how everything was perfect at our wedding and how everything went so smoothly again all due to Jamie! Highly recommended!!!

Eventfully Planned's reply:

Dear Danielle,
Thank you so much for hiring me to coordinate your wedding day! I had a great time working your wedding! Thank you so much for these kind words and appreciate the testament!

Jaime was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day. She was calm, organized and down to earth... I really can't say enough great things about her. There were so many way Jaime made the day run smoothly, to name a few- she worked with me to make a detailed itinerary for the day, called all my vendors the week of the wedding for a final tie down, coordinated the transportation, helped plan and execute the ceremony and even super glued my shoe when it broke during cocktail hour. I talked to several other wedding coordinators when deciding who to book and Jaime's calm and kind personality really made her stand out to me. The day of the wedding she was invaluable, I'd recommend her to everyone!

Eventfully Planned's reply:

Dear Kelly,
Thank you for your kind words! I literally JUST got done watching your wedding highlight video and still drying tears from my eyes! Then poof , this review came through! Your wedding was one of my favorites from 2012 and the entire day was fantastic! Your mom and all those details! Amazing! The whole bridal party was so fun and made it very easy to execute your wedding day! I am so happy to keep in touch with facebook and see what you and Ryan are up to! Thank you again!
Kind Regards,
Jaime

My daughter's wedding was held on 9/8/12. Of all of the decisions we made, the very best one was hiring Jaime as our wedding planner! We truly don't know what we would have done without her! She is the most organized, calm, caring and professional wedding planner! We had several "upsets" leading up to the wedding...some of the ordinary variety, and some very unusual and unexpected! Jaime didn't let anything throw her or frazzle her - in fact, she was the calming factor for ALL of us! She really kept us all (especially the Bride) from totally losing it. We all thoroughly agree that having her with us every step of the way made all the difference in the world. In fact, my other daughter will be getting married in the not too distant future and we have already agreed that the FIRST thing we will need to do is to secure Jaime's services for her wedding as well. She is just simply the best.

Jaime was open minded and supportive in all areas of planning the final weeks of my daughter's wedding. Jaime was offered the difficult task of coordinating and confirming the arrangements with all vendors the final few weeks of a wedding that started with one wedding planner, then transferred to another and when communication faultered we needed a highly skilled and talented individual to get the job done. That was Jaime. Most importantly, as the mother of the bride and maid of honor, I needed Jaime to deliver a great outcome on the wedding day and it was better than I could ever have imagined. My daughter had a lovely wedding day and I will always be thankful to Jaime for being there for us when we needed her most.

I chose Jaime as my Day of Event Coordinator for my wedding this June. My husband and I are both Southern, so we had no family around to help in the months leading up to the wedding. Additionally, 90% of our guests were traveling across the country to be here, so it was important to me that they not feel like they had a job at the wedding. Most of my family and close friends were using this as their vacation and I wanted them to be and feel relaxed. Leading up to the wedding, Jaime was prompt and helpful in answering my emails regarding vendors. She was clear and supportive in assisting my husband and me through the process of planning the ceremony and wedding timeline (something we quickly learned we knew nothing about! But that was ok, because Jaime did.) On the day of the wedding, our outdoor ceremony was threatened by rain. As I stepped out of the house with my father to walk down the aisle, I saw raindrops on the ground and immediately began to hurry toward the aisle and the onlookers. Jaime stopped me, adjusted my veil and train, and said "I know you are scared of the rain, but I want you to have your moment." Looking back, I am so appreciative of that calm voice, because she was right. A little rain never killed anyone and I would have missed having that calm, clear moment if she had not reminded me. At the conclusion of the ceremony, a storm looked as if it was rolling in and she asked me what she should do about my outdoor cocktail hour. I told her to do what she thought was best and she made the quick decision to move everyone inside to the reception area quickly and efficiently, while my wedding party and I were able to capture some outdoor photos quickly. That sense of calm and quick decision making is worth every penny you may pay Jaime. Of course, this isn't even touching upon the many other helpful aspects. I highly recommend Jaime.

From the moment we met Jaime we knew that choosing her as our wedding planner was the best decision we ever made! Without her, it is fair to say our wedding could not have happened. She was professional, helpful, supportive and enthusiastic throughout the entire planning process. On the big day, she was calm, organized and efficient. Our wedding day was the best day of our lives and Jaime was the best wedding planner we could ever have imagined. I cannot urge couples out there considering who to choose as their planner to go with Jaime strongly enough...she is quite simply, a miracle worker.

Eventfully Planned's reply:

Dear Mel and Vicki! Thank you for the nice review. It was my pleasure working with you both and I cannot wait to see you again soon! Please let me know when you come back to the states and I would love to get together with you!
Jaime

Jaime is incredible! I used her as my day of coordinator and honestly it was the best decision I made for the wedding. She was so organized and thought of every little detail. I had so much faith in her and was able to just shut my brain off and float through the day. She was such a pleasure to work with and she went above and beyond with everything she did. I would HIGHLY recommend other brides to hire her. She was absolutely invaluable to me on my wedding day.

We hired Jaime as our day-of wedding coordinator, and this might have been one of the best wedding decisions we made. In addition to providing amazing recommendations for other vendors, many of which we used and all of which were perfect, Jaime made our wedding day run more smoothly than I could have ever hoped. She was calm, professional, prepared, and fun! I couldn't recommend her more, and if I have one regret, it would be not hiring Jaime to plan the entire wedding!

Jaime was awesome from Eventfully Planned. It was difficult being a long distance full time working bride, and Jaime responded to every email (which was hundreds in our one year of planning), I hired Jaime for full event servies. I would recommend her to everyone, whether you think you need it or not, you do! I am a type A detailed oriented personality and Jaime adapted to all my needs. I booked her without meeting her becuase of how comfortable she made me feel over the phone. Jaime went to vendor appointments and made recommendations based on her experience in the industry. Thank you Jaime for everything!

Jaime is absolutely amazing! I hired her for full service planning, and from the time we first spoke on the phone to the wedding day (and beyond) she was kind, professional, supportive and just lovely to work with. I decided to hire a wedding planner early on in the planning process... I just didn't know how I would get everything done and often felt lost trying to sort through all the Newport area vendor options. Thank goodness for Jaime! She kept me organized and on track so that nothing fell through the cracks. Her vendor connections and contacts were beyond helpful - no more feeling lost trying to know where to go and who to talk to! She connected me with so many fantastic vendors that I loved and who did such amazing work. She was as hands on or off as I wanted or needed through all the different steps of planning. At times she was my task manager, champion, friend, surrogate mother, and therapist. My and George’s wedding day ran so smoothly and was just absolutely beautiful and perfect, and I know it wouldn’t have been that way without Jaime! I didn’t worry about a single thing on my wedding day because I knew that she had it all under control. Hiring her was one of the easiest and best decisions I made and was absolutely worth every penny. I feel like she went above and beyond for us, but I think that she does that for every single one of her clients because that’s just how amazing she is. You won’t find a more dedicated, knowledgeable, caring, and just all around wonderful person to work with than Jaime!

My now husband and I are both from Rhode Island but now live and work in NYC, hiring a wedding planner was something we thought about but didn't think we would (a) really need one since we know the area and (b) be able to afford one. Jaime was recommended to us with glowing reviews by our photographer (Susan Sancomb Photography) and after meeting her for literally 3 minutes, I knew I had to hire her. I cannot even begin to put into words how incredible Jaime is as a person. She is so warm, kind, funny and awesome at her job! By the end of our wedding day, my entire bridal party felt as if they were best friends with Jamie. She was so involved in every aspect of our day that she felt like a member of the party!
If the above is not reason enough to hire Jaime, another great thing about her is she used to work for the Ocean Cliff prior to going out on her own and starting her own business. She has relationships established that are invaluable-- she was a huge help in one issue I had that I tried to resolve on my own (but was unable). She came in and literally- problem solved. Anyone who is getting married at the OC should really consider Jaime for this reason alone. She knows the ins and out like a current employee.
My wedding day went off without a hitch and I had a ton of "out of the box" elements (we brought in a dance floor to the OC which has never been done before). Jaime went on all appointments with the rental company and took care of the entire flip of the room from the ceremony to the reception. This is just one example of how Jaimie went above and beyond for me (and I've heard this same thing from other brides that have used her). She really does everything in her power to ensure that the bride and groom worry about nothing about enjoying their wedding day. Jaime was the BEST THING I COULD HAVE DONE for my wedding and I would not have had the day I did-- without her. Hire her- you'll thank me later.

Oh my goodness - hire this woman. Initially, I had not planned to hire a wedding coordinator/planner but decided that it would be nice to have some help on the big weekend. This was the best wedding gift I could have given to myself (not that I was planning to give myself a wedding gift, but you know what I mean)! Jaime is fantastic and went above and beyond what I expected. She worked with me to ensure that my wedding "vision" was carried out to perfection. She and her team helped coordinate my wedding weekend - transforming an outdoor Pavilion into a beautiful rehearsal dinner space - at a summer camp unaccustomed to having weddings. On the day of the wedding (and every moment prior), she was poised and professional - even the crazier moments - ensuring that everyone was happy and relaxed. She helped me coordinate with all of my vendors catching details that I had missed the week before the wedding and allowed me to enjoy getting ready with my bridesmaids while she ensured that everything was set for the ceremony & reception on the actual day. I was able to turn off my brain and just enjoy being with my husband, our friends, & our family. Jaime was wonderful!

I truly cannot say enough nice things about Jaime! She was absolutely fabulous to work with, and made our day so smooth and enjoyable. I couldn't have been more relaxed on my wedding day and I owe it all to her. She met with us as much as we needed, did walk-throughs, gave recommendations on vendors, and was so quick to respond to all emails/questions. We had our wedding at my parents house (220 guests), which as you can imagine was a lot of work, coordination with vendors, and wedding day setup. She and Karen were AMAZING...they had everything set up perfectly, kept everything on schedule, and had a smile on the whole time. I would hands down recommend her highly to anyone looking for a wedding planner! She is the best!

Jaime is in one word- AMAZING! She was asbsolutley wonderful throughout our planning process. We ended up changing our whole wedding day schedule due to rain and Jaime took care of EVERYTHING! I didnt have to worry about a thing and I could just enjoy the day with no worries! She is the best.. hiring Jaime was by far the best decision we made! Our wedding day was absolutely perfect & we have Jaime to thank for that!
We love you Jaime!!
XOXO

Laura and Glen... It was my absolute pleasure to work with you this past year on this wedding! There are soo many other vendors to take credit for yesterday though. We all worked so amazing together and they all loved you as much as I did! It was such a bittersweet day for me. I was so happy for you but sad that my journey with you has come to an end. :( Have a fabulous time in Costa Rica and I hope to keep in touch!

My husband and I got married at OceanCliff in Newport, RI, and Jamie was recommended by the catering staff when I asked about a "weekend-of" wedding planner. She used to work there, and they had nothing but great things to say about her. The thought of working with someone who knew the lay of the land first-hand was very re-assuring, and I could not have been happier with her services! From our very first meeting to our hug goodbye at the end of my reception, Jamie was friendly, warm, buttoned up, and professional. I felt completely at ease, and most importantly, confident that she would help us see our celebration through in all the right ways. She was always quick to respond to my questions and requests for help leading up to it, and without a doubt made the planning process much more manageable than it otherwise would've been. Whether she was recommending seaside restaurants for my bridesmaid luncheon, compiling a list of amenity basket suggestions or creating a comprehensive timeline for the wedding day to keep us on track, Jamie was always very detailed and thoughtful. On the Big Day, I felt very well taken care of, and that all of my needs were attended to - and that's key to a bride's sanity! The bottom line is that I highly recommend Jamie as a wedding planner, and believe that you can't go wrong working with her. She's fabulous!

Like most brides, I began the process of planning a wedding believing that I could do it all myself. After several months of researching vendors to no avail, I began to see that I culd not do this alone. I lacked both the time and knowledge to execute a beautiful wedding. Luckily, I found Jaime Nelson from "Eventfully Planned" and from that point on my worries were over and I began to enjoy the process so much more.
Jaime went above and beyond her job responsibilities to ensure that my wedding was a sucess. She organized all of the guest information, found the perfect vendors, and coordinated the entire wedding by providing an hourly timeline for all who were involved in the wedding.
Upon first meeting Jaime, there was an instant warmth and sincerity in her eyes and I knew she had the ability to truly capture my person style, in which she did.
My hope is for those of you who are searching for the perfect professional bridal consultant, that you choose Jaime Nelson. She will be such a wonderful asset to your wedding in ways you can not even imagine and will allow you to relish in the moments leading up to your wedding and those on your special day!

Let me start by saying that by the end of the wedding I don’t know who loved Jaime most – me, my mom and or my husband. My mom was the hardest sell on a planner too and by the end she literally said “I don’t know what we would have done without Jaime at this wedding”. From the second I spoke to Jaime I knew she was the perfect person to work with. She’s calm and easy going but VERY hard working and detail oriented. Besides her great vendor suggestions and ideas the things that made her really special is her willingness to help with literally anything. For example, I was having a wedding artist and he needed a canvas a hour before the wedding…Jaime found a store to purchase it ASAP. We needed a keyboard for a family member playing during the ceremony..Jaime found a place to rent it. When we needed to purchase things for the gift bags it was Jaime that let us use her BJ’s card to get everything in bulk. During the wedding my mom needed to walk our dog…Jaime was the one that took care of it so my mom didn’t need to leave the wedding. These are just a few of the things that made Jaime great – there are a million more! Everyone that worked with Jaime thought she was the most sweet, professional and wonderful person. Honestly, spend the money on Jaime – you won’t regret it!!!!

I just got back from my wedding this past weekend and I can't say enough about Jaime... She is simply wonderful, and you would be INSANE not to use her. She is so professional, calming, and wonderful to work with, that she really made all the planning go by so seamlessly. Also on the day of the wedding she dealt with all those little things that always go wrong, but I had no idea they were happening until after the event. It was simply perfect in my eyes and the eyes of all my guests. She also calmed me at critical points, was a great voice and perspective in the planning meetings, and brought over lunch for all of my bridesmaids. These are just a few of the countless things that Jaime did over the weekend that helped me enjoy the day and really relax. Trust me that hiring Jaime will be the best money you ever spend (you can even hire her for gift bags!). Thank you Jaime - you gave me the wedding I always had hoped for!

There are not enough words to describe Eventfully Planned. From the time my mom hired Jamie as my Christmas present last year she was invaluable. Jamie was the best gift a bride could receive. Jamie was there every step making sure my very special “Winter Wonderland” wedding was what I always dreamed of. She worked with all my vendors to know every detail to make this day a success. My fiancé wasn’t sure I really needed a wedding planner but when she came to his rescue on our wedding day she is now at the top of his list. Jamie was there at all times to meet everyone’s needs; even a band-aid for my mom. Her job did not stop at the end of the reception. Jamie helped the florist clean up and transport large flower arrangements to my parents house for the brunch the next day. My dad calls here the HERO of the day! Thank you Jamie for helping to make my dream come true.

Thanks to Jaime Nelson and Eventfully Planned we had the BEST day of our lives! We had Jaime as our Day of Coordinator for our wedding, but she was so much more for us! Right from the beginning I knew we were in the best of hands! She helped me find a makeup artist (who was wonderful!) with only a couple of weeks left until the wedding. She was there for us during our venue walk thru and helped organize all of the vendors for us! This was no small feat - we had 9 different vendors for our day and with us having a very hectic work schedules this saved us a LOT of time! Jaime was wonderful with organizing our families during the ceremony rehearsal and making sure the ceremony went off without a hitch the day of the wedding! She was at the venue assisting with the set up and coordination before myself and my girls were even there to get ready that day! She was still there at the end of the night waving the last of my guests goodbye! All of my vendors raved about her organization and wedding knowledge and also complimented her about being so easy and friendly to work with! A few details that I learned about after the wedding showed the kind of planner Jaime really is - she really does go way above and beyond for her brides! At one point before the wedding, the ceremony set up was going slowly; Jaime jumped right in and began setting up the chairs along with the set up crew in almost 100 degree weather! When the bartenders arrived, they had forgotten to bring lemons - not wanting my guests to go without - Jaime had made a phone call and had someone deliver lemons for us! About half way through the wedding, we had run out of soda (we had a really hot day and my guests were drinking lots of soda!); again, not wanting to disappoint my guests, Jaime actually ran to a nearby store and bought more soda for the bar. What was even more wonderful was that never once did I know about this during the reception - the situation was taken care of and didn't disrupt us at all! Our wedding was absolutely perfect; far better than we could have ever imagined! Not once were we stressed or distracted from enjoying the party. Everything was under control and we really were able to relax and enjoy our day and celebrate with family. When you throw a party - especially a wedding - it is a reflection of the couple; Jaime really made us shine! I would highly recommend Jaime to any bride needing a wedding coordinator!

Eventfully Planned made my vision for my wedding possible. I had done every part of my wedding myself until I realized that I wouldn't be able to orchestrate setting it all up. I hired Eventfully Planned for by the hour day of coordination. Jaime was flexible, professional, prompt, understanding, a total pleasure to work with. My only regret is that I didn't hire her sooner for complete wedding planning. She totally saved the day. If you are considering it, hire her!!!

Jamie was a huge help ensuring that my wedding weekend was everything I dreamed of. She was willing to help with any request; finding a dog sitter, finding someone to play at our after party, helping create and deliver welcome bags, etc.. On the day of the wedding she was professional and helped keep everyone and everything on track. I would highly recommend her.

I don't even know where to begin with this review. When my husband and I hired Jaime, we were into a year of our engagement and a little overwhelmed with all the venue and vendor choices. We wanted everything to be perfect and we didn't feel confident that we could choose a vendor that would live up to our expectations. I decided that I wanted someone who knew the industry, who could be on our side and help us plan the perfect day for us and our guests. I had several interviews lined up, but the evening we met Jaime, we knew right away we wanted to hire her. She was so organized, professional and really nice. She went above and beyond for us during the whole process. She asked about and listened to what we wanted and helped us find the perfect vendors to make it happen. We ended up going with 3 vendors that she knew and recommended to us and we were extremely happy with all of them. She talked our venue down substantially in price without even having worked with them before. When the coordinator from the venue was hard to get in touch with, Jaime kept at it until we got all the answers and information we needed. She was my support when I went to my hair and makeup trials (and took pictures for me when I forgot my camera). I felt like I could call her anytime and anything and she would bend over backwards to help us. I knew she had other clients, but she really made me feel like ours was the only wedding...really the only thing...she thought about and worked on. During our rehearsal, when no one knew what to do, she took charge, made it quick and easy and our whole bridal party (even my Dad!) agreed that she was great. The day of our wedding, she did everything. She set up the ceremony space. She made sure the reception room was perfect. She made sure that special needs for allergies and my Mother-in-Laws preferences were taken care of. She was organized, efficient, and calm. She fixed my dress when we discovered it would be too long to ballroom dance in and then fixed it again after my husband stepped on the back and broke the bustle. She and her assistant did more for us than I ever expected. I can't say enough about how perfect our day was and how stress-free and fun planning was because of her. I wish I could have another wedding so I can work with her again! My husband and I both highly recommend her for day of and full wedding coordination.

Hiring Jamie from Eventfully Planned as our day of wedding coordinator was probably the smartest thing we did when planning our wedding. She is very professional and organized, responds quickly to e-mails, and gave us valuable advise and information on vendors. We told her exactly what we wanted and she was able to carry out our vision. She kept things running smoothly at the rehearsal and during the wedding, making sure we got everything in and on time. Having her around took a lot of the stress off of us in making sure everything was the way we wanted it. We didn't have to worry about a thing since we had complete faith in her. We would highly recommend her to anyone.

Eventfully Planned's reply:

Thank you Allison! It was my pleasure this weekend. BTW, I was actually at Whispering Pines the next day and saw one of your baskets and props for the photo booth. I grabbed it and will leave in your mailbox next time I am on your street. Congratulations!

I decided to hire a day-of-coordinator for peace of mind, and that is exactly what Jaime did. My mom passed away when I was younger, so I felt like if something went wrong or if there was a question that had to be answered, it was all on me on the wedding day---Jaime took on this role for me. She went with me to my final meeting with my caterer, and took ALL my do-it-yourself projects/decorations off my hands the week of the wedding. She also created a ridiculously detailed timeline, got my bridal party organized for the day, made sure that everything was running on track, and put all the little details/decorations in place. She did all these things seamlessly. It just worked. I know that I will never truly know how valuable she was, because things JUST WENT smoothly with her there, but I know that I would have felt a real strain without her. There are so many little details and logistics to plan and coordinate for a wedding, and I am so glad that I hired someone to make sure that everything was executed according to my vision.

I got married in Narragansett RI during the craziness of the Summer. I couldn't have been luckier to have found Jaime as my day-of wedding coordinator. She took the stress off my shoulder and really ensured that everything went smoothly. She made a very detailed schedule for my wedding party, helped us at the rehearsal, and even brought us lunch while we were getting our hair and makeup done. I highly recommend her and can guarantee that she will put you at ease on your wedding day!

Loved working with Jaime. Everyone involved in the wedding agreed that the best decision of the wedding was deciding to work with her. I chose to work with Jaime for the Day-of Coordination and she was very helpful in guiding me in the process of planning the wedding, recommending vendors and making sure that the final day went off smoothly. I would highly suggest to anyone considering her services to use Jaime, she really helped to pull off all of the small last minute details that made our wedding perfect. Thank you, Jaime!

5.0 - We couldn't have been happier with Jaime's quality of service and her attention to detail. She took all the anxiety out of the equation on the day of the wedding and was a joy to work with. We would be happy to recommend Jaime to any prospective bride who is looking for a wedding consultant.

Hiring Jaime as our day of wedding coordinator in Newport this past July was the best thing we ever did. Not only was she extremely professional, but she was so nice and allowed me to completely relax on my wedding day because I knew she had everything covered.

In the months leading up to the wedding, Jaime always made herself available to help us answer any and all questions we had. She created a timeline that gave us a clear understanding of how the day would flow and distributed them at the rehearsal. She even picked up waters and cookies for us to put in the gift bags in advance.

On the day of the wedding, Jaime dropped off all of the gift bags, coordinated everyting with the vendors, set up lunch for all of the bridesmaids, and helped out with the transportation.

Jaime made sure my day was as smooth as possible and it absolutely was. I would recommend her to anyone!

I don't think I can express how much I appreciate Jamie Nelson. I first met Jamie 19 months ago when I began planning my May 8, 2010 wedding. She was the first and only wedding planner I met with. I knew immediately after meeting her that I wanted her help as a day of coordinator. Since the ceremony was to be outside I was worried about the chairs arriving, weather, my husband passing out during vows...you name it. After meeting Jamie I had total confidence that she could help me with the logistics of the day so I could enjoy it but I also wanted to work with her because immediately she felt like a friend.

When my May 8 wedding had to be postponed and eventually cancelled she was very sincere and supportative and offered many kind words at a difficult time.

When my husband and I decided to have a small ceremony with 7 people and a few vendors Jamie offered to help. That meant the world to me.

My 2nd wedding ceremony was to be outdoors. After spending hours in a salon getting beautified for the big day I peered out the window and realized it was pouring and it was not going to pass!! I had a plan B location for rain but I never firmed up the details with my contact. I was running late and the vendors were supposed to be at the outdoor location in 45 minutes. To top it all off I left all of my contact numbers at home. I was able to reach Jamie and she was able to get my location unlocked in a moments notice, pick up my flowers, coordinate with the vendors, make sure my husband didn't see me ahead of time..you name it.

My small wedding, pouring rain and all, was the most amazing day of my life and I couldn't have done it without Jamie. It didn't matter if I had 100 guests or 7 she was indespensible either way. Now, I finally made it down the asile and I also made a friend.

I hired Jaime Nelson of Eventfully Planned in March 2010 for my June 2010 wedding as a "day of coordinator". Jaime was available to me from the date I hired her through the wedding and provided so much more to me than "day of" services. She saved me money with her contacts at the linen rental company. Everyone raved about her organization and how hard she worked for us. I really could not have done the wedding without her.

I can't say enough about Eventfully Planned. I can't imagine our wedding day without Jaime. She made sure everyone was where they were supposed to be and worked with all my vendors so that nothing was missed. I highly recommend Eventfully Planned!

If there were more stars available, I would have selected them for Jamie (Eventfully Planned). We signed up for her 'Day of' package and got so much more! Jamie was professional, quick on her feet (we had more than a few problems arise which she resolved), friendly and worked easily with my other vendors. As a Type A, stressed out bride, Jamie's ability to be cool, calm and collected throughout the entire planning and wedding was truly both awe-inspiring and helpful to me. Even though she was 'just' of our Day of Coordinator, Jamie made sure to reach out and familiarize herself with all our vendors, locations and wedding roadmap. She made herself available to anyone wedding-related (vendors, family, wedding party) and everyone that spoke with her also had glowing reviews. I fully endorse Jamie as a Wedding Planner without a single reservation.

It was such a wonderful experience having Jaime Nelson of Eventfully Planned as the full service planner for our big day. From helping us book every vendor for the Wedding as well as her excellent input, Jaime kept us very organized every step of the way. My husband and I can not thank Jaime enough for the tremendous amount of work and effort she put forth to make our dream wedding a reality!
