Jay is amazing!
I found Jay by reaching out to previous brides of our venue. Each bride raved about him so when he was available on our date, I was so excited. I work in corporate events so I needed someone just like Jay. Someone who let me do my thing but was available whenever I needed him. Jay answered all my questions and recommended vendors that we were beyond happy with. With his vendor recommendations, we also ended up saving money. I am not sure how I would have survived our wedding weekend without Jay. On the day of our wedding, he kept track of my veil and bouquet that probably would of ended up missing if it wasn’t for him. He also made sure to get all the stuff we brought (frames, card box, etc.) back to our hotel room at the end of the night. At one point, he was even serving our guests dinner! Jay was so great that even though an wind advisory decided to come in for our outdoor wedding, I wasn't worried. I knew he and our other vendors would do whatever needed to be done. I mean he truly does whatever is needed to make sure your wedding day is perfect. I highly recommend Jay to help pull off your dream wedding in paradise! -

Exceptional professional who goes above and beyond.
If you're getting married in the FL keys and looking for a phenomenal professional to help you plan and execute your perfect day, you need Jay! Jay is the owner of Island Times Events and was the day of coordinator for our November wedding, he went above and beyond and blew our expectations out of the water.
Jay was personable, super responsive, and an amazing asset to my wedding. My day went off without even a wrinkle and that is in large part because of Jay. He checked in on me, ran my timeline exceptionally, coordinated with all of my vendors, and made sure I was hydrated and having an amazing time.
Jay anticipated both my needs and the needs of our wedding and solved any issues that came up without us ever knowing. I highly recommend Island Times for your wedding or event. Especially coming from an event background, I was fully impressed. Not only did I love Jay but so did my now husband and everyone in the bridal party. He even made a guest appearance on the dance floor for a few quick seconds!!
I cannot say enough goods things! Hire Jay and have an amazing wedding 💗 -

We were planning a super last minute beach wedding in key west and jay helped bring everything together. On the lead up to the wedding but was impossible to find caterers and a photographer at such short notice but we managed to make do with what we had. Jay set everything up for us and it looked stunning, it was a real DIY but it felt like a dream. He coordinated everything and even had someone sitting on the beach to save our spot from 9am.
An hour before the ceremony my maid of honor stabbed herself in the leg with fabric scissors, Jay was super calm and organized and even called the emergency room and had someone there waiting ti stitch her up, the ceremony only had to be pushed back 30 minutes. -

Our experience with Jay at Island Times Events was nothing short of amazing. We got lucky with a recommendation from our venue to use him as our day of wedding planner and shortly realized how incredible he was. Jay worked closely with one of our family members that did a lot of the planning and our venue contact to create the most perfect wedding for us. Not only is he great at his job but has a great personality and easy to become instant friends with. Island Times Events truly wants you to have the experience of a lifetime and I would recommend to anyone! -

My experience with Jay from the very start was everything a bride would need or want in a wedding planner. Literally, no matter what time of the day or night, if I needed him, he was there for me. I really loved it that he would take my ideas and expand on it or make suggestions to make it better. Jay is professional, reliable, dependable, creative, patient, and knowledgeable. He knows his stuff as a wedding planner. I've enjoyed working with him so much that I told my three kids and him, when they're ready for their big day, Jay will be their wedding planner. He took care of everything for me. He was there when I felt overwhelmed and scared how everything would come together. Our wedding day was above and beyond beautiful. It was dream come true. He is my superhero! -

Words cannot express my gratitude for Jay. My wedding was something out of a magazine! It was the PERFECT wedding and it's all because I knew Jay could handle anything- especially the rowdy bunch we were bringing. Jay came highly recommended by an former employee at the Perry Resort as I was looking at venues with my fiancé. We were doing a destination wedding during the COVID-19 pandemic, the stress was to the max and nothing normal was happening, until we met Jay . If you think you don't need a wedding planner, think again and if you think you can go with just any one THINK AGAIN!
Jay is a professional planner and I am incredibly lucky to have had his help. Jay always made use feel as though he had everything 100% under control. Trust me, you want this is a planner! Jay respected my input and added his professional designer eye to my ideas. Jay knows Key West, knows the people, knows the vendors better than anyone could, it make a huge difference. I can't even think about what we would have done without him.
The day of the wedding ran so smoothly, below is a quick recap of the things Jay did that were what made it happen.
Coordinated with the vendors which included a cigar bar as well. We had to get a tent last minute for rain and he made me feel much better about that because I did NOT want it. But he was 100% right about it.
Jay organized and helped the fist look flow, with Uber and a transportation company we had multiple groups of people going different places.
After the first look we went to 3 locations to take pictures before heading back to the venue. Jay stopped traffic, yelled at people to get out of our way, all while keeping us on time for our ceremony to start. He was booking it! A+ driving skills too.
During the ceremony, Jay helped deliver food, pass out drinks, take drink orders, made sure our families were taken care of- he did whatever he saw needed to be done! Including dealing with my cranky father. He was literally there to catch me if I were to fall from the chair toss, or maybe to record it so we could go viral, I am happy with that! I love what Jay wore to our wedding, he looked like another guest so he blended right in.
And he made sure all of the things we left out made it back to our room that night so we didn't loose a thing. It's the little things you don't even think about that he covered before we even asked.
Over all, Jay felt like a friend we’ve known for so long. We wanted it to be the best party of our lives and he made that happen. The personal pieces he offers, the way he makes it your day and no one else’s, and the fact he cares that he wants this to be the best day of your life.
PS- the one photo of Jay sitting was because we begged him to come on our rehearsal dinner cruise and have FUN with us! That was the last time he sat for probably 48 hours.
Thank you Jay, thank you so much! -

I cannot say enough nice things about Jay. Jay worked so hard and I didn’t feel one hiccup and I owe it all to him. He cared about everything I requested and made everything look absolutely like my dream wedding. Again, I cannot say enough. Stop searching and book Jay, it is NECESSARY. -

Jay is the man!!
We hired Jay for our “day-of” wedding coordinating services and he went above and beyond my expectations. He met us at the venue two days prior for a property walk-thru, steamed my dress, ran last minute errands, and directed our rehearsal. He was so easy going, fun to work with, and did absolutely everything we asked of him. If you looking for an event coordinator, Jay is the guy you want to hire! -

Jay was top notch!! He was amazing on our wedding day from start to the very finish. He made sure everything was PERFECT. I highly recommend hiring him as an officiant also. After sitting down with him to discuss what we wanted for the ceremony, he delivered just that and more. He was just amazing!! I highly recommend!!

AMAZING wedding planner!!
Jay did an amazing job coordinating every aspect of our four day celebration from breakfast to sunset cruise to ceremony he didn’t miss a beat. All of my family and friends were so impressed with his work and ability to keep it all on track. In my previous work I did a lot of event planning and I know how many details there are, Jay nailed all of them. -

Jason is simply the best!!!
Jason was the hero, of our wedding. Long story short, we worked with a planner for 3 months before she ‘ghosted’ us, nothing we had planned was confirmed. Jason was our savior. From the moment we first met with him, everything was smooth sailing. Every detail of our day was handled, even details we had not planned for. The ceremony was amazing, the dinner fabulous and the service was amazing!
On the day, Jason was ‘at the ready’, not in the way, but always on hand!! He was present and available for every little detail!!! My husband and I had a BLAST at our wedding, and we have Jason to thank for a perfect, beautiful and really, really fun wedding!!!
I would recommend Jason to anyone for a perfect wedding!!! -
