    Amazing Day of Coordinator

    In the week leading up to our wedding, my husband and I regularly said that hiring Jennifer was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding and the best money we spent! Working with her as a day of coordinator made the day go seamlessly. Jennifer was incredibly organized and knowledgeable and was available to us for questions from our first meeting. We really cannot recommend Jennifer enough!

    Work with Jennifer- you won't regret it!

    If you're reading this, book Jennifer- just do it! She is without a doubt the best money I spent on my wedding, I would hire her a million times over and I've already referred her to all of my friends. She really made our dreams come true and I don't think my wedding would have been what it was without her. She is so incredibly organized, knowledgeable with all things weddings, and finds ways to repurpose flowers/decor and save you money (if you want). Day of, she handled everything flawlessly and even was able to wrangle our 20 person bridal parties with ease. If she was stressed, I never saw it. She approached every meeting with a smile and a plan to get everything done. Jennifer is an incredible person, a true professional, and a true talent. You will be so happy you worked with her.

    Would recommend to anyone!

    We worked with Fetedujour events for our September 2023 wedding, and would highly recommend to anyone. Jenn met with us starting about a year out from our wedding day and was so helpful every step along the way. She helped create a vision board, discussed difficulties I was having with another vendor and the decision to pick a new vendor, and made sure everything was communicated with all vendors. Jenn has a great personality and helped make wedding planning a less stressful experience. The day of, Jenn set up a ton of decor for me and made our space stunning. It rained during our day and Jenn helped facilitate the backup plan and make sure everything was just as beautiful as it would’ve been outside. Jenn made sure our day ran smoothly, which also included wrangling a lot of drunk guests and groomsmen. We were so thankful to have hired Jenn and would hire her again in a heartbeat.

    Outstanding!!!

    Words can't even begin to describe all that Jennifer did to make our wedding run as smoothly as humanly possible. From the first phone call to the day of the wedding, she did an amazing job. She flawlessly handled thousands of texts and emails from me, dealt with difficult vendors, created the perfect timeline, kept me calm, and managed family members. I really could not have planned my wedding without her! Jennifer was magnificent and now feels like a part of the family after everything we went through with her! Fete Du Jour Events was hands down and without a doubt my most favorite vendor and it’s impossible to say enough positive things about her!

    Just hire her!

    3 simple words - JUST HIRE JENNIFER! Then, you will get a hassle free, anxiety free, fun and memorable wedding experience. I hired Jennifer for Fete management & design, she not only flawlessly managed all my vendors before & on the big day, and provided huge assistance on the design aspects (i.e., colors, plates, linens, etc.). Especially we had a destination wedding, Jennifer did multiple venue visits for us. When we had issues with the floral, Jennifer stood by my side and backed me up, so that I could still get what I was promised to get. She is just amazing to work with, both my husband and I, even our parents believe hiring her was literally the best decision we made during the whole wedding planning process. She saved time and money for us, she was ready to do anything we needed, and did above and beyond. In short, money well spent!

    Wedding planning *team*!

    Jennifer from Fete du Jour Events is a dream to work with! Very quickly I realized I didn't just hire a wedding planner, we were a wedding planning team!

    She's got you covered. Need to reschedule the wedding? Let's do this. Vendor communication issues? I'll help you. Sourcing decor? Silly anxieties? Quirky officiant? No sweat. Want a to-the-minute event run of show? Here you go! The most beautifully decorated reception dinner? With a quick pivot to plan B? Voila!

    What I can't truly express is how fun she made all of it! We giggled, we toasted, we laughed at our lists of lists...I always had a smile on my face after talking to Jennifer.

    There are so many, many other things I could mention. It boils down to this: Our wedding went off perfectly. Not one thing was amiss with her choreography. Our guests had the time of their life (really, many said our wedding was the most fun they had been to maybe ever). Not a happier bride and groom could there be.

    Do not hesitate to hire Jennifer. In fact, if you're reviewing and interviewing wedding planners and Fete du Jour is on your list, just hire her now. It will be the. best. decision. you make for your wedding...next to choosing your future spouse!

    The best wedding planner!!

    It is so hard to find words to fully express how wonderful Jennifer was as our wedding planner. I spoke with several planners at the beginning of the planning process before Jennifer and I knew she was the one as soon as I talked to her because of her positive and friendly energy. She was so amazing and helpful throughout the entire planning process. From selecting vendors, to countless planning calls, to being so responsive to all my emails/texts. Our wedding was at my parents’ house, and we honestly had no idea what we were getting ourselves into when we made that decision. We basically had to create an entire venue for 100+ people from scratch, which was such an undertaking, and we could not have done it without Jennifer. Our wedding week especially was so much work. Jennifer made the drive out there almost every day that week and would spend the entire day helping out in any way she could. She also was SO personable with everyone in our wedding party and our families. My parents absolutely adored her, and she made them so at ease in an otherwise extremely hectic time of having a ton of people you don’t know coming and going in your house and at your property. On the day of our rehearsal, she ended up staying hours after the rehearsal was over and the main set up was complete in order to do a ton of flower arrangements for the wedding so that I could go get ready for our rehearsal dinner. Totally was not part of her job at all but she happily volunteered and they turned out amazing. On our wedding day, there was a ton of miscellaneous décor that I did not have a specific plan for and I completely trusted her to just do whatever she thought would look good and it all looked amazing! She even did the flowers for our cake! By the time we got to that day, we had been spending so much time together that I genuinely missed her while the bridal party was getting ready at a different location that morning. I also had an entire notebook of little details and instructions for the day and she did not miss a beat. She made sure the entire day went exactly how we wanted it to and was still able to somehow always make sure each of us had a drink and everything that we needed. There have been several times since the wedding where my husband and I and our families have just raved about how amazing she was. We seriously could not recommend her enough. Our wedding day was literally perfect and it would not have been possible without her!!

    Book this now!!

    Jennifer is absolutely wonderful and you have to book her right now! Seriously, stop reading and book her. She made my big day run perfectly smoothly, and I barely did a thing. We had her as our month-of planner, and she led the charge to come up with our timeline as well as communicate with all of our vendors in the weeks leading up to our wedding. She dealt with difficult family members, kept track of gifts, and even saved the day with an extra pair of socks when I realized I had forgotten mine. I couldn’t have asked for a better planner!

    Fête du Jour Events's reply:

    Thanks so much for the kind words, Leah! Your day was so lovely and it was an honor to have been even a small part of it! ❤️❤️

    We love jennifer!

    I had a pretty clear vision for my wedding, so I needed the perfect day-of-coordinator to make sure everything came together on the big big day - enter Jennifer. From our first call, I knew she was a great listener, she was organized, communicative, and most importantly, I knew she was going to have my back. When you choose Jennifer you're getting a friend, but you're also getting a no non-sense, in charge badass, who is going to get things done. Any hiccups in the planning process were immediately addressed and taken care of and any time something fell off my radar, Jennifer was there to get me back on track. Our wedding was a dream, and we could not possibly thank Jennifer enough.

    Cannot Recommend Jennifer Enough!

    I'm quite sad I didn't get a picture with Jennifer on my big day. She in many ways kept me calm, cool and collected as I planned my wedding in 90 days from inception to execution and I cannot recommend her enough.

    As a bride who works a full time job in tech, I didn't have a ton of time to research wedding things on my own. Jennifer knows multiple vendors in each category and their price points and was a great resource as I weighed pros and cons and worked out cost benefit for each person I hired or rejected. She also went above and beyond in ensuring I had the best wedding day, by finding the perfect last minute vendor in getting my wedding signs, to setting up candles for me on the stairs. Jennifer was great at coordinating day of the wedding and also kept everyone in time and on schedule.

    I'm truly happy and lucky that I got to work with her on my big day. She's going to go places with her work ethic, knowledge of the wedding business and I cannot wait to see her success and all the Bride's she will make happy.

    5 étoiles (stars) for Fête!

    I hired Jennifer with Fête du Jour as our Wedding Day Coordinator and it truly was the second best decision I made that day, next to marrying my husband ;-). She brought my DIY boho vision to life and did an amazing pulling together a new vision last minute when we had to move inside for rain. She set up every detail so perfectly, and made sure we felt absolutely no pressure throughout the day. I couldn't have imagined the day without her and the incredible work she put into making our day what it was. If you're on the market for a coordinator, set up a call or meeting with her ASAP. Thank me later!

    Jennifer is incredible!

    Jennifer is cheerful, focused, creative, and more! I trusted her with everything and she brought what I wanted to life and we were so lucky to have her be part of our day! She was able to stay in contact with my vendors when I was busy with work. Everyone LOVED her and on the day of the wedding she stayed to help with everything! Highly recommend!

    Hire Jen Immediately

    Jen is truly the reason our wedding was as amazing as it was. I called her in a panic on a friday night after just a week of planning because I was already losing my mind, and she talked to me for an hour. The next day I had an email of about 20 venues to look through and pick from. She helped me find every vendor, design every detail, and more importantly became a friend. Every text was answered, every logistic was dealt with, and my friends and family had an incredible time. Hiring her was the best decision I made for my wedding, by far.

    We loved working with Jennifer!

    From my first call with Jennifer, I knew that she would be extraordinarily attentive and thoughtful. She was extremely communicative and took the time to understand what my husband and I cared about. She helped me manage the minutia of my wedding, was creative in helping find solutions, was an incredible advocate for us, and respected our budget. I hired Jennifer after I'd already done some planning and my only regret is that I didn't hire her immediately. So many of our guests commented on how perfect our wedding was, and I know that was thanks to Jennifer. She went above and beyond, and we are so grateful she was part of our wedding day and that she became a friend through this process!

    Amazing Experience!

    We hired Jennifer for day-of coordination for our clients' wedding on September 16, 2022. She did an amazing job keeping things organized, communicating with the clients and all the vendors, and working with our team to make the wedding seamless. We highly recommend Jennifer for your wedding planning and day-of coordination needs!

    Book Jennifer While You Can! INCREDIBLE

    Jennifer is 1,000% the real deal. My wedding would have fallen apart if it wasn’t for her. I am not being dramatic when I say that. I honestly THOUGHT I knew what I was doing until I realized how CONSUMING it can be planning a wedding. Jennifer changed all of that.

    I recently moved into the DMV area during the pandemic and knew absolutely no one and connected with Jennifer through a work event. It’s as if the universe was trying to tell me something! Jennifer was completely hands-on and navigated every single detail during this process. She seamlessly managed all vendor communications and provided helpful suggestions to keep us in line within our budget. Her attention to detail is AMAZING! From picking out invitations with me, organizing my wedding website, wedding dress shopping, venue meetings, caterer callouts, selecting photographers, you name it and she was on top of it!

    I love how dedicated she was planning this experience with me! It was difficult not having my family or friends near by and Jennifer really came through for me. She was available every time I needed her and was quick to respond to all my questions. I am so lucky to have found her when I did. Jennifer is simply the best and her enthusiastic personality just makes wedding planning all the more the fun!

    Jennifer is the best! Look no further!

    Jennifer was our day of coordinator and design lead for our wedding and we would recommend her to anyone! She was extremely client-centered, organized, detail-oriented, and made the entire process seamless. From the beginning, she truly made an effort to get to know us as a couple and ensure our vision for our wedding became a reality. She dealt with any issue that arose with such professionalism. For example, our cake vendor did not deliver our cake to the correct location and she was able to ensure a new cake was received on time (all without the bride and groom knowing a thing). All of our guests raved about how it was one of the best weddings they have been to and Jennifer was such an essential part of why!

    Superb planner, now friend!

    Hiring Jennifer was one of the best decisions my partner and I made in regards to our micro-wedding. She understood our aesthetic from the jump and was so enthusiastic about our ideas. Her vendor suggestions were always in line with our vision and budget. She was super communicative and answered all our questions in a timely manner. On the day of she went above and beyond the call of duty not only making sure our day ran smoothly, but also jumping in to assist our elderly grandparents when we were unable to. We felt like she was part of our families by the end of the evening. I consider myself lucky to now call her my friend!

    Beyond amazing - extremely satisfied!

    Jenn is absolutely fantastic. Amid a global pandemic Jenn was (and still is) so beyond helpful navigating through all the changes. She has helped me pick out flowers/decor on the more affordable side which has been such a lifesaver (especially during these times). She doesn’t treat you like any other client, but actually like a friend. I think that’s the most important part in having a wedding planner. Would definitely recommend!

    The absolute BEST!

    Jennifer was absolutely incredible!!!! She was on top of everything and made the whole process leading up to our wedding as well as the wedding day stress free. She is also completely adorable and I’m absolutely obsessed with her. I cannot recommend her enough and will be recommending her to everyone I know who gets engaged.

    Parfait! A wonderful experience

    I hired Fête du Jour for my wedding and was thrilled with my choice. I was a tough bride because I have really high expectations and standards (and I definitely want things done a certain way), but I’m also extremely busy and didn’t want to spend my precious free time stressing over fonts and napkin rings. I met with Jenn, she totally got my aesthetic, and by our next meeting she had an amazing binder full of vendors that blew me away. I signed off on the big stuff, left the details to her, and had a totally stress free day that I actually enjoyed. Please do yourself a favor and hire her!!!

    Amazing, beautiful, incredible

    This was the best wedding I have ever attending/been in ( and I’ve been to my fair share). It was so perfectly put together and Fête du Jour Events thought of every last detail. I had the pleasure of being apart of my best friend’s wedding as her MOH, and everything was as the bride envisioned and more. I know exactly who to turn to and TRUST when I am planning my special day. Fête du Jour Events is also amazing at finding beautiful decorations and decor that suits every bride’s wishes! Fête du Jour Events makes dreams into reality! Highly highly recommend!!!

    Best planner ever!

    I wish I could give Jennifer more than five stars!! She is an amazing wedding planner and hiring her for your big day will be one of the best decisions you make if you live in the DMV area. Just take a look at the gorgeous photos from her own wedding day that she planned herself. She is full of amazing and unique ideas that will set your big day apart from everyone else’s. Jennifer is so bubbly and easy to talk to— she will become a friend during the planning process. What more can you ask for in a wedding planner?!
