Casey Sent on 11/02/2025The Best Decision We Made: Hiring Jen!
There are not enough thank yous in the world for Jen! We planned our wedding in less than 6 months, and I was adamant that I did not need a planner. But as planning quickly progressed, we realized how necessary it was to have a sounding board and someone who has genuine experience with weddings (even non-traditional ones like ours). My initial plan was to only use Jen as a day-of-coordinator, but you need someone who is familiar with you and with your vendors to properly execute the big day and I’m so appreciative that Jen customized a package tailored to our planning/day-of needs. We found Jen with a quick google search and had a response to our inquiry within an hour. That was already a telling sign for how on-the-ball she would be; after our intro call, I knew we were in good hands and had a great partnership ahead. Jen went above and beyond during the planning process while simultaneously letting me take the lead. When we encountered a few roadblocks with our non-traditional dreams at Nura, a Brooklyn restaurant, she had great ideas and solutions to stay true to what we envisioned while also ensuring it would be executed properly. Fast forward to the day-of and she was beyond phenomenal! When I showed up, the setup was ahead of schedule and very stress-free, which set the tone for the entire event! Throughout the night, she made sure we always had a drink in our hands, that we ate when there were breaks, she bustled my train like a pro, and overall, we (and our families) felt so taken care of. I am so lucky to have connected with Jen and couldn’t recommend her enough! -

Nicole Sent on 04/26/2026Thank you Jen!
Jen was pivotal to our wedding day running smoothly. We hired her for month of coordination and she dove right in, orchestrating all of our vendors to keep everything organized. She filled in all the gaps - from queuing up music, ushering guests to the next portion of the evening, moving florals, keeping us on schedule and so much more. Jen is so kind, detail oriented, and our day wouldn't have gone so well without her. Thank you Jen! -

Andrea Sent on 04/18/2026Couldn’t have done it without her!
We had the pleasure of working with Jen for our 2026 wedding! She was so lovely and organized throughout the whole process and made us feel taken care of. We had to pivot venues 4 months prior due to a cancellation and she made us feel at ease when we were going through it! We cannot recommend her enough. She also helped with our rehearsal the day before and helped with coordinating so that everyone felt prepared. During the day of our wedding she took such great care of us, the timeline, the decor, and collaborating with all vendors. Truly so thankful for her, because our wedding went flawlessly 🥰 -

Nik Sent on 03/22/2026Jen is the best!
Jen is an amazing coordinator and our wedding day was perfect all thanks to her. We hired her as a day-of-coordinator but she got involved in the weeks leading up and took over the vendor coordination, ironing out all of the things we didn’t know we needed to do that would have caused surprises on the wedding day. Her expertise and guidance helped us realize our vision and our wedding day ran so smoothly. We were able to be truly present with our guests and enjoy every moment while Jen handled everything else. The schedule she helped us make ran so smoothly and every vendor was so well organized thanks to Jen’s know-how. We can’t sing her praises enough or recommend her any more highly. Jen is truly the best! -

Simply the Best
Jen is absolutely wonderful! The first time I met her, she gave off a great vibe and instantaneously made me feel that “You’re in excellent hands” feeling. As we prepared she took detailed notes and asked specific questions to ensure that she could deliver on my vision- esthetically and logistically. Shes incredibly professional and a pleasure to work with. Our wedding couldn’t have been more seamless. Her efficiency and organization skills- impeccable; but what makes Jen so special is her kind nature and cool air. She understands the assignment and makes everything a breeze. She’s simply the best. -

Man oh man, Jen Neal. We are SO BLESSED TO HAVE FOUND HER.
Firstly, my wife is a little Type A. In fact, she’s the most organized and logistically sound person I know, a literal director of operations and logistics professionally. So we were generally of the mind that, with her go-getter-ness and litany of google sheets, plus wells on wells of likes and dislikes from past weddings, we’d be in a good place. Fast forward, we were not in a good place. Granted, our wedding was nontraditional and we had 5-6 months to plan it, but we were running into logistical hurdles that were just over our (her) head. So after a quick google search, we found Jen, who responded to our inquiry within the hour. We immediately hopped on a call and emitted a massive exhale. Jen was exactly what we needed—a coordinator with loads of experience who could be a sounding board for my wife, reality check, and general executor on our behalf. She took care of us. So responsive to emails, to us and on our vendors (she got on our vendors). So generous with her time. In fact, we initially connected with her to simply be a “Day-Of” coordinator, but she ultimately did so much more than that. On the actual day, everything went extremely smoothly, which was not easy given the size of the restaurant, timing constraints with the band, and everything else that comes with doing a wedding relatively nontraditionally. It’s incalculable the amount of stress that Jen Neal relieved/prevented for us. We are so indebted to her and couldn’t speak highly enough about her! -

Kim Sent on 06/19/2025You might think you don't need Jen at your wedding. You're wrong!
Our wedding venue mandated that we hire a day of coordinator, and I confess I had no idea what that meant. They recommended Jen and after our first conversation, I started to have an inkling that they might have been on to something. Jen is a genius -- no detail goes unconsidered, she knows exactly when to gently ask a question and when to make sure to protect you from unwanted noise. In our particular case, she managed to make sure all of the disposable cameras we'd left scattered for guests were returned to us at the end of the night (how!), she noticed no one was recording my dad's speech and jumped in to record it and sent it to us before we'd even realized the oversight (miracle!) and when we had an unexpected guest turn up she solved the problem before I even knew it existed. Oh, and we had planned our wedding in 2 months and yet somehow Jen made it feel like we'd spent years getting every detail right. Hire her!! -

Katie Sent on 05/27/2025Look no further! We love Jen.
When friends of ours heard we hadn’t hired a day-of coordinator yet, they urged us to write Jen immediately, telling us how her help was the best money they spent in their entire wedding process. We didn’t really understand what a day-of coordinator did, exactly—we’d planned the rest of the wedding ourselves and assumed we could figure it out. It turns out that the right coordinator does SO MANY THINGS! From the first conversation with Jen, we were sold. She is warm, professional, and super knowledgeable, with answers to all our questions and with solutions in mind. In our walk through with our venue, she asked questions we’d never considered, and she organized our timeline for the day, coordinating with other vendors, making sure everything was seamless. Just before the ceremony, as we waited nervously to be called up to walk down the aisle, she texted to let us know it was time, and when I forgot my bouquet, she recovered it (somehow!) in 60 seconds. We trusted her immediately, and she helped us feel relaxed and at ease so we could fully enjoy the day we’d spent so many months planning. Her communication is quick and thorough and she’s just a truly lovely, genuine person we felt so lucky to have shared such an important day with. We received so many compliments about her from friends and family. Look no further! Jen is the best. -

Nyamekye Sent on 10/27/2024On top of all the details, great communication!
Jen helped us with all of the little details, and did an amazing job shepherding us, our wedding party, and our vendors through the day. She was prompt and proactive with communication, and helped make it a fantastic celebration. -
![Minji]()
Minji Sent on 09/23/2024Seamless wedding, thanks to Jen!
Jen was amazing for our wedding day, as well as the lead-up to it, and we were so glad we booked her -- from day one on the initial call, she was responsive and extremely detail-oriented. On top of her professionalism, she always had a warmth about her that made her feel like she was just a super organized friend there to help you on your big day. She did the walk-through with us of the venue and asked questions of the venue/event manager that we did not even think to ask (but that proved to be so crucial later on). Whenever we had questions leading up to the actual day of the wedding, Jen made sure to respond to us quickly and thoroughly, offering her own ideas and advice from her personal experiences, especially in terms of the timeline. On the day of the wedding, I truly don't know what we would have done without Jen. She was professional, confident, cool and calm under pressure (and the chaos of us running slightly behind schedule), and was on top of setting out all the decor perfectly and wrangling all the vendors in a seamless way. In the midst of everything, she went above and beyond to personally escort our dog after the ceremony to our room and got her fresh chicken from the hotel kitchen to snack on (lucky pup!). We didn't have to spend any energy at all thinking about the vendors or the flow of the day because Jen was there to proactively manage everything, both planned and unplanned. At the end of the night, she had even packed up all of our decor and had them sent up to our room so that it was easy to take with us the day after. We would highly recommend Jen to be your day-of or month-of coordinator. She was the best! -

Reilly Sent on 08/12/2024Look no further for your day-of-coordinator
We were so grateful for Jen from the moment we first chatted to the last call on our wedding night. She skillfully coordinated with vendors both before & during the big day, completely set up our decor across all our dinner tables & was always gracious with our guests, nudging them along where they needed to be and when. Jen matched our vision & energy, made sure we were clear on every detail leading up to our wedding & kept us calm the day of. Stop scrolling, stop searching — go with Jen!! -

Jacqueline Sent on 07/25/2024Perfect Army base wedding
Jen was our dream come true as a day of coordinator! She was professional and paid attention to detail. She thought of items I missed and kept all of my vendors organized. I never had to worry about a single detail on the day of as Jen was well prepared before the big day. She made sure to look over pictures and descriptions of decor so that it was set up to my liking and she executed it all flawlessly. I got married on a US Military Army base which made logistics a little tougher and Jen handled it all with poise, grace, and professionalism. Thank you Jen! -

Elana Sent on 06/22/2024Best choice for wedding day-of coordinator
We are SO glad that we had someone on our team that was professional, experienced, proactive, and organized. Starting a few weeks before our wedding, Jen was on top of everything and super communicative, responding to questions shortly after I sent them. She was attentive to details that we didn't even think about. Not only was hiring a day-of coordinator the right move, choosing Jen was the even better move. It was great to have a point person on the day we just wanted to enjoy and not worry about, and it was comforting knowing that Jen would be able to attend to any issue that arose. Highly recommend her to anyone! -

Kaitlynn Sent on 10/04/2023Helped make the day PERFECT
Jen was incredible from the moment I first contacted her inquiring about a day of coordinator. She was responsive, professional, and had a really wonderful energy about her. I'm in a PhD program, working full time, all while planning this wedding- needless to say I was constantly feeling chaotic and scattered but meeting Jen eased a lot of that stress for me. We met at the venue about a month before the big day and went over my vision/plans for everything. Jen took detailed notes, sketched out the venue and seating plans I had communicated and executed all of the above seamlessly on the day. Not once during my wedding was I worried or stressed- Jen handled it all (including making sure I was eating and had a drink!). I highly recommend Jen for all your planning needs! -

Kayla Sent on 09/17/2023So helpful & lovely to work with!
From my first email exchange with Jen she was helpful, practical, kind, and genuine.
I first reached out when we were panicking about the cost of catering, and Jen recommended we keep looking around because affordable full-service caterers do exist. Without Jen’s advice we would have either blown our budget or created big headaches for ourselves with a complicated drop-off catering scheme. There were several other times during our planning process where Jen’s expertise kept us grounded.
With a lot of DIY aspects to our wedding I was nervous about how it would all come together, but having Jen on our team was so reassuring. We were pretty organized and hands-on in planning our wedding, so we didn’t originally budget for a day-of coordinator. But Jen’s very fair pricing model didn’t require us overpay for services we didn’t need, & working with her was worth every penny.
During our walk-through with the reception venue (which was not a typical wedding venue & came with a lot of unknowns), she asked great questions and helped everyone get on the same page. From there, everything came together beautifully & we were able to fully enjoy our day without worrying about logistics. If there was anything that went wrong, we didn’t even hear about it. She also organized our grand entrance beautifully—getting 100 people to line up & throw confetti at the same time can’t be easy but, based on the smiles on everyone’s faces in the photos, & our own vivid joyful memories of the moment, she pulled it off perfectly. Thanks again, Jen! -

Casey Sent on 07/23/2023Couldn’t have pulled off our dream wedding without Jen
Jen was fantastic and an indispensable part of our wedding weekend. We forgoed the traditional wedding planner and organized everything ourselves, what we quickly realized is we would need someone to handle the day of organization. Not only did Jen excel at handling things as they cropped up she also helped us prepare for things we had overlooked in the planning process and really ensured we had the smoothest day possible. She was excellent at communicating with our venue and various vendors as well as making sure we had everything we needed throughout the weekend. We highly recommend her and couldn’t have pulled off our dream wedding without her. -

Shadi Sent on 04/25/2023A Calming and Capable Expert
We planned a lot of complicated details for our wedding, with multiple vendors coming in and out. Jen was a source of peace amidst the chaos and we are so grateful. Before the big day, Jen was always a resource to bounce ideas and share suggestions. She joined some vendor calls and made sure everyone understood expectations. On the day-of, her value and expertise really shined. We were so busy getting ready that there was no way we could have survived without Jen. I felt so at ease knowing that she and I were on the exact same page and that she had all the details handled. We are so thankful!Jen Neal Studio Events's reply:
Shadi, working with you and Joe was truly an honor. I feel so grateful that I was able to play a role to support you both through this incredible moment in your lives. -

Julia Sent on 10/28/2021Completely above and beyond
We cannot overstate how incredible Jen was. She worked with us through a canceled pandemic wedding and stuck by us for what felt like a million iterations as we reacted to changing health situations. She is kind, caring, considerate, and thoughtful, and made our day completely stress-free. We would recommend her to anyone. We cannot say enough nice things!! -

Aileen Sent on 12/11/2019Everything you want in a coordinator
We hired Jen as our day of coordinator for our wedding in Brooklyn. She has the perfect personality for the job - she's calm under pressure, super organized, and very easy to get along with. I'm super Type-A and wanted someone who would keep us on schedule, which is exactly what she did. She made sure everything went smoothly, from making sure the venue was set up exactly as we pictured, to ushering us from event to event. She even stuck around to help us clean up since we couldn't leave anything at the venue after our wedding. I felt like we really got to enjoy our wedding - she was a great addition to our team and we really appreciated having her on our team. -
![Chloe]()
Chloe Sent on 11/10/2019Kept Our Wedding Stress-Free & Running Smoothly
Jen was absolutely awesome. We hired her as a day-of planner but as soon as we started working together she had shared folders & docs set up so we could start organizing everything. This made it super easy when it came time to ironing out all the details. A few weeks before the wedding we met up for a walk-through and went through a bunch of details I wouldn’t have even thought to think about. Jen guided us through a lot of the last-minute decisions we needed to make about timelines & vendor arrivals. On the day of the wedding Jen took care of everything so we didn’t have to stress about things like vendor arrivals & set-ups. I am a bit of a control freak but I’m so happy I trusted Jen’s expertise because everything turned out perfectly. During the ceremony & reception Jen was always there when we needed her - to ask a question or make a last-minute request. She made sure the evening ran smoothly but was also flexible when we changed things up a bit here and there on the fly. She was really the perfect behind-the-scenes-but-always-accessible coordinator we could have asked for. We are so grateful we had her by our sides on our wedding day!Jen Neal Studio Events's reply:
Chloe, it was such a true honor to get to be part of your day. Thank you for letting me be part of it. Wishing you and Chris the sweetest of years ahead. xxl -

We could not have been happier with Jen. I would give a thousand stars. She met with me a couple times prior and truly took time to get to know what our needs were. She is organized, funky, bubbly and conscientious. Also she was prompt, goes above and beyond, kind and so fun. She got us and our style and made sure that we were able to enjoy our day fully. We could not have been happier. HIGHLY recommend.

Ladylette Sent on 05/26/2019So Grateful
As a bride-on-a-budget, I hired 15+ vendors while my (now) husband did the DIY decor. The one thing we knew we couldn’t do was to coordinate the wedding on the day of and decided we needed professional help. I hired Jen based on the great reviews from different wedding sites and had a great gut feeling about her. We communicated over email and her response rate is amazing. Jen answered all of my questions however silly or anxious or super-stressed-sounding they may be. She kept me organized and helped streamline the “day of” timeline. She contacted some of the vendors that hadn’t confirmed delivery or arrival time the week of the wedding. And on the big day, she took care of payments, tipping, corralling our families for photos, kept us on schedule, helped us cut the cake because somehow we didn’t know how, fixed my bustle!! (yes, she can sew too!) and helped gather our personal things for next day pick up. We were able to enjoy our wedding and soak everything in. Thanks to Jen, our special day was stress-free, and even the day after too!Jen Neal Studio Events's reply:
Thank you so much Ladylette! I am so happy we worked together - your wedding was so much fun! I am still in awe of you both as a couple, and of your family's dance moves. Thanks for letting me play a part in your day! -

Melissa Sent on 07/20/2018I reached out to Jen only a few weeks before my wedding, after a friend-of-a-friend backed out as our wedding planner. Jen quickly understood the particular needs of our wedding and helped me figure out some of the details. She also helped coordinate the timeline with our vendors before the big day. On the day of the wedding, Jen did a fantastic job guiding us through the ceremony procession and helping to fix a few last minute issues. She worked with our catering team to make sure everyone was served in a timely and organized manner, and she even made sure that my husband and I had the chance to eat. :) Her warmth, enthusiasm, and attention to detail made her an invaluable part of our wedding, and I would definitely recommend her to other brides!

Tiffany Sent on 05/23/2018I can not say enough about how hiring Jen was the best decision I made, possibly out of any decision I made during wedding planning. After I reached out to her and we started talking I knew she was going to be a good fit. She is so kind but also clearly on top of her game and is the perfect balance of gentleness and directness that you want for someone coordinating your wedding day.
As far as brides go, I was very chill but also a logistical nightmare. Jen was so good at really talking to me and understand what I wanted, and then helping me to organize my thoughts and make sure everything happened like I imagined it. It made me feel so much better just knowing that I had someone on my team who was really on the same page and committed to making everything go smoothly.
On the day of Jen was seriously a dream. She navigated our families, and all of the vendors, and the bridal party with so much grace (which, tbh, was no easy task). The whole day, my (now) husband and I were able to be in the moment and have any questions, comments, and concerns directed to Jen and filtered through her so that we could really enjoy the day. Everything went seamlessly and I could not be happier with our our wedding day turned out.
If you are going to cut corners in wedding planning, don't let a coordinator be what gets omitted, because I really think that it makes all the difference in the bride and grooms headspace.
Thank you again, Jen and I wish you all the best! -

What can I say. I just wish I had known about her earlier. We're so thankful for Jen for assisting us through what could've been a disaster. She's helped us through coordinating and communicating with the vendors on their needs and how to make it all happen. Saved us through the chaotic last couple of weeks before our wedding. And just happy that it all came together as well as it did with last minute changes from our parents.
