    Stress Free Wedding Thanks To Jackie!

    Jackie and Kelsey are a godsend! I’ve been in the event industry for 8 years and was dreading the day of set up. My inner planner had thought of every little detailed and was stressing about the execution of everything. Thanks to Jackie and Kelsey, I was able to kick back and truly enjoy our special day. The dream team duo made sure that everything was just the way we had envisioned and ensured that our big day went off without a hitch.
    Not only did Jackie assist with the day of coordination / setup, she also was my rock through covid. As many couples, we had to postpone our wedding twice. Jackie was always there by our side...

    A wonderful management team and perfect day!

    We could not have asked for a better day of management team for our wedding than Jackie and her assistant Kellsey. From the very first phone call Jackie was a wealth of knowledge and resources, as well as a calming presence in the ever stressful world of wedding planning! She is kind and thoughtful and always prompt in answering any and all random questions that can come up throughout the planning process. We knew we made the right call in hiring Jackie when we would tell our other vendors who we were working with and every single one responded with “oh, you’re working with Jackie? She’s the BEST”. Once our wedding weekend arrived, Jackie went above and beyond to...

    A perfect weekend, thanks to Jackie

    Jackie came highly recommended by a co-worker, and we're thrilled that we were able to work with her. Jackie and her team are so knowledgeable, professional, and attentive, and they worked so hard to make the whole event run smoothly. From suggesting amazing vendors to giving great advice on key decisions, knowing Jackie was on our side kept the whole process manageable and not at all stressful.

    Best planner around!

    Jackie, and her assistant Kellsey, are phenomenal. I was initially on the fence about hiring a partial planner, but I'm so thankful I did. Jackie is so friendly, helpful, and professional and you can tell she truly loves her job.

    Whenever I had a question, needed advice about vendors or other planning issues, she was responsive and helped solve any problems that arose quickly. Whether by phone call or in person meetings, Jackie was flexible and accommodating. The day of I didn't have to worry about anything and Jackie and Kellsey put everything together better than I could have imagined. My wedding ended up being perfect and Jackie and Kellsey were a huge part of that.

    Can I please give Jackie 10 Stars? Our Wedding was beyond the point of PERFECT! Jackie made sure that everything ran smoothly. In addition, she helped us at all points along the way ensuring that we would have a perfect day. I cannot say enough good things about Jackie. Once you meet her, you will absolutely know why she is the perfect planner for you. I would hire her in a heart beat for any event planning in the future!

    My wedding was this past July. My wedding was everything I dreamed of and more. Jackie helped me so much with the planning, keeping me sane and most importantly keeping me within my budget. Hiring Jackie was the best decision I made. Without her I would have had to juggle wedding planning, graduate school and first year teaching all at once. Thanks to Jackie, she was able to make the process fun but less stressful. If I forgot anything she would remind me. Jackie was always in an awesome mood and always willing to meet at anytime or day. She is super flexible. If I could do it all over again, I would choose Jackie in a heartbeat.

    Jackie was legitimately my life savor! When my husband and I got engaged we agreed that we would have a small backyard wedding. Well, little did I know, marrying into an 100% Italian family, 'small' was defined as 200 guests and a 5 course meal.. I became overwhelmed, extremely quickly. I was having difficulty juggling my time between wedding planning and my 60 hour work week. Honestly, planning the wedding began to feel like a second job and I was not enjoying it. Finally, about six months in, it was recommended for me to contact Jackie and THANK GOD I did. From our initial meeting, she took my anxiety level from 10 to 0. She literally took all the...

    From our first meeting with Jackie M, to our last meeting prior to my wedding day, Jackie was prepared, knowledgeable about her craft, open to hearing any and all ideas, forthcoming with her own ideas, but not too pushy or forceful about it, always smiling from ear to ear, super responsive with emails, texts, calls, aware of budgets and able to find affordable alternatives to capture her clients vision, organized beyond belief with notes and reminders of each meeting she has with her clients, able to attend as many vendor meetings as her clients would like her to. I could go on and on and on about how essential Jackie M was in making my wedding day and planning...

    Today I received my package for Jackie and I was so excited to see my invitations.
    When I opened them I was speechless. I loved them and they were everything I dreamed of.
    I couldn't ask for more and it made my day. She always got back to me very fast and answered
    all my questions. She went out of her way to do anything I asked from her. My Fiance' and I are
    so happy with these invitations and they came right on time. She is the best and I recommend her
    to anyone and her products. 100% Will look forward to buying from her again!!! Thank you Jackie
    for your hard work.

    Incredible Management

    We were excited to plan our wedding together as an engaged couple - and we were not sure at first that we needed to hire anyone to help. We’re so glad we are that friends and family helped us see the error of our ways and recommended that we hire a coordinator, and we’re even more grateful that we hired Jackie.

    The Montague Retreat Center (our venue) recommended Jackie to us. She was organized, quick to answer questions (either from us or from the anxious MOB) and always cheerful. Her coordinating package was not just the day of, but included spreadsheets to help us organize ourselves months in advance, a walk-through at the venue 30 days out,...

    Amazing! Perfection!

    Hiring Jackie was the best thing we did for our wedding. She is incredible. Her enthusiasm is contagious. Her recommendations for vendors were spot on and all the vendors we worked with sang Jackie’s praises. Jackie was able to help us realize our vision and make it virtually stress free. We had a lot of details and events over our wedding weekend and she made it all smooth and seamless. Jackie is a true professional! Her thoughtfulness and kindness made working with her a joy. We can’t say enough about how amazing Jackie is.

    Working with Jackie was an absolute dream. Our wedding was planned over about 18 months, and I never felt like I was anything less than her number one priority, even though I know she had other weddings to work on. Jackie took so much stress away from planning our wedding. She was a sounding board when I had ideas to run by her, she was super creative when I told her all of the non-traditional things we wanted, and on the day of our wedding, I did not worry about a thing. Everything looked amazing and was exactly how we wanted. The two assistants that worked with her were also phenomenal. We could not have had our wedding without Jackie and her team!

    All I can say is WOW!!! I was NOT an inside-the-box bride, and had an insanely detailed and personalized vision for a wedding week that terrified most planners; Jackie, on the other hand, embraced my zany ideas and larger-than-life concept with as much enthusiasm as I did! We worked closely together for eighteen months, and her enthusiasm never flagged. From attending my final fitting with me and learning how to tie the complicated sash on my ceremony dress to answering each and every one of my 3am emails promptly to finding the best of the best vendors (including non-traditional vendors like a local woodworker to make a guest signing bench) to tackling dozens of time-consuming projects (need the origami...

    I don't even know where to begin singing Jackie's praises. My husband and I knew we wanted someone to help out with our wedding, and hired Jackie very early in our wedding planning process, before I could have imagined what a collaborative, helpful, kind, patient, organized, dedicated, and indispensable partner she would become to us. 

    Jackie put so much time and effort into our wedding. When I think about the hours she spent with me on the phone, meeting with us and the caterer, the florists, not to mention the undivided attention in the weeks leading up to the wedding... her hours alone are worth the price. When we left the party at 1 am she was still there! Managing...

    Jackie was AmAzing!! We got a partial wedding planning package to assist with planning our "Backyard" wedding. At the time I couldnt imagine that we would need so much assistance and guidance. Jackie went above and beyond for us, with recommendations for other vendors, aeeting up countless meetings, emails and correspondance to keep us on track. She was worth every penny and made our day run so smoothly I didnt have a single concern! Thank you so much Jackie, your an incredible person and a truly wonderful event planner!

    Where do I even begin?? Jackie and her assistant Gillian were absolutely amazing to work with!!! From the day we hired her as our day-of coordinator, I felt this wave of relief just knowing that we were in good hands. Well, we were right!! Hiring her was the best decision we made for the entire wedding process, hands down. I was so relaxed the day of the wedding and leading up to it all thanks to these wonderful ladies. I was truly able to enjoy myself the entire weekend and cannot thank them enough for all their hard work in making our wedding day so seamless. They set up everything in the two locations we were using for the...

    If you are planning an event, I have two words for you: "HIRE JACKIE!" Along with being a fantastic wedding planner, Jackie is an amazing person. From our initial meeting, her passion for everything wedding was obvious and even though we hired her almost two years before our wedding, this excitement never waned. We never had to worry about anything as Jackie was always on top of every email and detail. Being an out-of-state bride, I was a little worried that I would miss something or be unable to attend vendor meetings but with Jackie this was never the case. She attended meetings with my fiancé when I was out of town and was very accommodating of my restricted...

    Hiring Jackie was hands down the best decision my husband and I made during our wedding planning process. We met with Jackie for the first time about 8 months before our wedding date, when all we had secured was our venue. We went into the meeting feeling completely overwhelmed, and came out feeling excited about the wedding again! Jackie ‘got’ our vision before we even knew we had one, and she brought it to life for us beyond what we ever expected. We opted for the full service wedding planning, and Jackie helped us to find vendors that fit our personalities and aesthetic, and did all the legwork making appointments, finding out information for us, and giving us ‘to...

    We had the pleasure of working with Jackie this past summer at our Inn in Ogunquit, Maine as she planned and executed an amazing wedding for a very special family here at our home in our quaint little town. Prior to buying the Inn, I was an event/wedding planner myself for over 10 years so I feel very comfortable and confident saying that Jackie is one of the best out there. She is extremely professional, organized, creative and current with the most recent trends. Jackie has a very calm demeanor so you automatically feel safe and relaxed around her. No reason to worry or panic with Jackie around! Jackie pulls out all of the stops! The heart and soul...

    Jackie is amazing! We used her Day of Coordination Plus package and it really took so much of the pressure off. I was really able to enjoy myself the day of the wedding and everyone couldn't stop commenting on how relaxed I was even before the ceremony! Before we got married, my husband really couldn't be convinced on the expense of hiring a wedding coordinator, especially considering we didn't have a wedding party to coordinate, so to him it seemed unnecessary, even though Jackie's prices are extremely reasonable! So I'm so glad my mother came to the rescue and it was able to be worked out! I really don't know what we would have done without Jackie, our wedding...

    Jackie was absolutely fabulous, worth more than she charges. We had a complicated wedding at my home (I am the mother of the bride) it was in a field under a tent and the ceremony was a 5 minute walk to a river. From the first meeting, Jackie was enthusiastic and energetic. She never lagged in this and always helped my daughter and son-in-law figure out how to get their vision of their wedding to work., She was quick to return emails,suggest vendors and give support to all of us., while always following our lead in the kind of wedding we all wanted.
    The wedding was absolutely amazing and her energy before and during the event was superb. The...

    If you are looking for a wedding planner, do yourself and everyone involved a favor and HIRE JACKIE!!!

    Her personality is bubbly, friendly and relaxed, just the person you want your wedding guests to meet when they walk through the door! When I met Jackie I felt like I was meeting with an old friend. I felt so at ease, all my wedding planning stress went out the window. Although we hired her as the "Day-of Coordinator", she was involved in so much more. Jackie was always quick to respond to questions and always made herself available if I felt I needed to meet in person. She gave amazing vendor recommendations and is very knowledgeable in the...

    Hiring Jackie was absolutely, hands down, the best wedding planning decision we made. Leading up to the wedding I was a nervous, with concerns over every tiny detail. Not only did Jackie help me iron out all the kinks, keep my planning on schedule, address things we hadn't even realized needed to get done, and put me at ease when I was a nervous wreck, but she did it with an enthusiasm that made me feel happy and excited to be getting ready for a wedding, and not just worried and stressed. BUT, the absolutely BEST thing about having Jackie as our day-of coordinator was everything she did on the day of the wedding and the day of the...

    I hired Jackie for day-of coordination after contacting and speaking with a handful of other coordinators in the area. Jackie was very reasonably priced, and we felt she offered great value and very comprehensive service compared to some other people that we spoke to. She was also very professional and prompt when we reached out to her just a couple of months before our wedding.

    I met Jackie first when she came to my mom's house for an initial planning meeting. She drove all the way to meet us there and stayed for 3 hours going through everything! She made it very convenient for us, and it was so nice to not feel rushed. Jackie was very thorough,...

    Jackie is a gem! We hired her a whopping 10 days before our wedding to coordinate, after we had done as much planning on our own as we could. As the date neared, we realized how much there was to arrange during the actual setup/execution of the wedding ceremony and reception, and even though we were having a relatively small wedding (about 65 people) and wanted it to feel pretty down-to-earth and low key, we still wanted to make sure it went smoothly and easily for all involved. Jackie was a lifesaver in making all of that happen! We were planning a Berkshires ceremony/reception from the West Coast, and even the cross-country communication didn't stop Jackie from diving right...
