Leanne is the Best party planner!
My best friend hired Leanne to plan her wedding a few years ago and it was a magical event. Thus, when we needed a party planner to help with our daughter’s bat mitzvah we of course hired Leanne. She made the entire experience easy and carefree and honestly planned the best party we could have hoped for.My best friend hired Leanne to plan her wedding a few years ago and it was a magical event.

Could not be more grateful for Leanne!!!
My husband and I hired Leanne as our planner for our wedding June 17, 2023. I could not be happier with how everything turned out! She won me over during our phone interview with her knowledge and humor. She was so easy to get to know and talk to, it was like we were already friends! She kept us organized and on schedule the entire time. I did not have to do any outside research to find vendors because she had all of the recommendations, and they were all amazing!!! The biggest reason why I would recommend Leanne though is that she saved us from a LOT of problems toward the end of our planning process. The event coordinator at our venue resigned a few months before our wedding, and there was a transition period with the new coordinator that was a huge struggle for us. We weren't sure where the miscommunication was coming from, but the new coordinator was giving us incorrect estimates for our invoice for the last couple of weeks leading up to our wedding. Leanne caught the mistakes right away, had numerous meetings with her to get all of the details straightened out and resolved, and I will tell you, I don't think we would have known what to do about it if Leanne wasn't involved. In the midst of crying because I was so upset and frustrated with our venue, she was there to fight for us and she pulled us through. In the end, everything was resolved and corrected to what we originally wanted, and our wedding was flawless. On the day, she was there setting everything up for us in the morning, and she was always ready to run up to us if we needed something or had questions. Our biggest worry that day was thinking it would rain on us (but we got lucky!). I could not be more happy with our wedding day, and I still get emotional thinking about what an amazing day that was. I will always be grateful that we had Leanne as our wedding planner!My husband and I hired Leanne as our planner for our wedding June 17, 2023. I could not be happier with how everything turned out!

Leanne is a great event planner and fun to work with
While not quite a wedding, Leanne planned an awesome 50th birthday party for my husband. She was great to work with. Leanne is the perfect combination of professional and organized with lots of fun and creative ideas.
We wanted to host the event at our home. She had great plans for all weather options, pulled together a wonderful group of caterers, bartenders, a band and fun beer burro and then managed the event with ease and grace. I could not have done it without her. Her planning skills, event knowledge and ideas for vendors are invaluable.While not quite a wedding, Leanne planned an awesome 50th birthday party for my husband. She was great to work with.

Great decision to hire Leanne !
Working with Leanne from Jewell Events was one of the best decisions my daughter and I made about her wedding! I have never been Mother of the Bride before, and my own wedding was quite a long-time ago, so having Leanne’s guidance, direction and inside knowledge was simply invaluable. As Mother of the Bride, you want everything to be perfect for your daughter - but also we had financial and other logistics to consider. Leanne took the time to listen to us and truly understood both how we wanted the special day to be, while also managing to work within the budgetary guidelines. When you are arranging your child’s wedding, it’s such a mix of emotions, decisions, and managing resources, and it can easily become overwhelming. With Leanne helping us, we were actually able to enjoy the process, and certainly enjoy the day! I don’t know how we could have created such a memorable day without her assistance. Hiring Leanne was the best decision about the whole wedding that we made. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone who is starting on the Wedding Planing journey!Working with Leanne from Jewell Events was one of the best decisions my daughter and I made about her wedding!

Incredible!
It was an absolute pleasure working with Leanne this year to plan my wedding. She was unbelievably organized, detail oriented, funny, kind, and easy to work with every step of the way. She was able to totally understand our overall vision and the things that were important to us as a couple. She did an amazing job outlining every step and decision we needed to make, and helped us make the best choice. I never once felt pressured into a decision, and she was always completely honest about pros and cons for each choice. From the beginning she made sure we had a detailed schedule and kept us on track with payments, contracts, and anything else that needed our attention. She made wedding planning feel fun and enjoyable, which was such a gift. The wedding day itself ran so smoothly and without a hitch. Leanne helped make my wedding easily one of the best days of my life- I would recommend her to anyone!It was an absolute pleasure working with Leanne this year to plan my wedding.

Outstanding Experience
Father of the Bride
I’m writing to express my gratitude to Leanne at Jewel Events. Leanne took charge of the entire wedding planning for my daughter from inception to the main event in a seamless and professional manner. Honestly, I don’t know how we could have done this otherwise. Everything about the wedding was right on mark and a great shared event, all of which was the result of countless details Leanne took care of along the way. Many thanks to her and for the wonderful job she did for all of us.Father of the Bride

Wedding 6/27/21
My husband and I got married in June and we could not have asked for a better wedding planner. Leanne is amazing and she truly cares about her clients. We were so nervous about planning a wedding through Covid, and Leanne made the whole process effortless. We made quite a few changes and she was with us every step of the way, supporting us with whatever we needed. Our wedding day was perfect and we could not have done it without her. We absolutely loved the whole process and have also made a life long friend. Thank you Leanne!

Hiring Leanne was the best decision I made
My husband and I desperately wanted an intimate Colorado wedding but had no idea where to start especially being out of state. Leanne was there every step of the way with her network of amazing vendors, creative ideas, and ability to get things done. I never once felt in over my head, over budget, or like I wasn't being fully supported. Our wedding just passed on 9/18/21 and everything went so perfectly, i'm still in shock. My biggest fear was that our wedding day wouldn't fully represent us, and looking back, every little piece was us and we owe it all to Leanne ♥️My husband and I desperately wanted an intimate Colorado wedding but had no idea where to start especially being out of state.

Mother of the Bride
Leanne is beyond amazing. She was there for us through all our required changes and configurations to pull off a wedding during this challenging time. There were many voices and moving parts and Leanne worked with all of us with such patience and professionalism. Aside from being a pro at what she does, Leanne is funny, kind and a straight shooter. There’s no one out there better than Leeann.Leanne is beyond amazing. She was there for us through all our required changes and configurations to pull off a wedding during this challenging time.

Best decision we've ever made!
Choosing to hire Leanne as our wedding planner is the best decision we've ever made for our wedding! As a foreigner who's not familiar with the western culture, it is really painful for us to choose between so many vendors and packages. Leanne helped us figure out what are the most important things to us and meanwhile keeping everything within our budgets. All the vendors she recommended was just awesome and easy to work with.

We couldn't have done it without Leanne!
Leanne was absolutely incredible at guiding us through the wedding planning process and running everything the day of. COVID and involved mom's did not make this an easy wedding to plan, but Leanne put us at ease with her attention to detail, relationships with so many vendors, getting-to-know-us approach, and professionalism. We felt like we were the only wedding she was planning! She went above and beyond her job description the day of by helping manage pets and 5-year-olds, staying late to clean up, making us beverages, and calmly fielding last minute phone calls when ash started falling from the sky. We LOVE Leanne and HIGHLY recommend her to anyone planning any sort of wedding!Leanne was absolutely incredible at guiding us through the wedding planning process and running everything the day of.

I can’t say enough good things about Leanne! She helped me so much and kept me sane after having to reschedule and plan my wedding 3 times due to Covid. She was always responsive, calm, and professional with all of the craziness we had to deal with. I’d give her 10 stars if I could!I can’t say enough good things about Leanne!

Having Leanne is the best decision I've made for my wedding
I’d say having Leanne is the best decision I’ve made for my whole wedding planning process. I highly recommend Leanne!
Firstly, she listens to your needs and incorporates them to your wedding so you’d feel the wedding is so personalized! Most of my guests don’t speak English so Leanne thought of a lot of tweaks to let my guests enjoy the wedding as we did.
Secondly, she has rich connections with vendors and experience to give you a worry-free wedding. All the vendors she recommended were so great to work with. Everything ran smoothly with Leanne’s coordination. My husband and I just followed whatever instructions Leanne gave us on the wedding day and enjoyed the moments with our guests without worrying a thing.
Lastly, Leanne definitely went above and beyond. She always offers her support proactively either to communicate with vendors or provide alternatives to complete the picture. There were so many times Leanne jumped in and said “I’ll handle that for you” when I felt overwhelmed.
I just can’t thank Leanne enough!!I’d say having Leanne is the best decision I’ve made for my whole wedding planning process. I highly recommend Leanne!

look no further.... you found a jewell (literally)
Leanne hit it out of the park! As a couple who worked in the Wedding/Event industry in the past, we sought out recommendations from the best of the best when we found ourselves looking for a wedding planner. Leanne came highly recommended by someone who we saw as the best connector in the industry…. She recommended Leanne saying “I would hire her for my wedding”. We had a unique wedding vision…. A inter-racial, inter-faith, multi-day, destination wedding. We wanted to create an environment where 200 of our closest friends and family would come together, connect deeply with each other, make lasting memories and celebrate LOVE.
We were in no huge rush and it was most important to us to find the “right place” and then everything else would fall into place. When we met with Leanne, we immediately connected with her… she seemed to get our vision and when we left our meeting, my fiancé and I looked at each other and said “WE LOVE HER”. Leanne listened deeply to what we wanted and she truly began to grasp our vision. She has deep connections in the Colorado wedding community and took us to some of the finest locations that would support our vision. We were VERY picky and Leanne stuck with it and never made us feel bad about it or nervous to tell her what was off! At several points, we asked ourselves, “is she going to fire us?” We felt terrible that we were so picky but we knew the perfect location was out there and Leanne believed it too! As we looked at different venues and spoke to different vendors we noticed that Leanne has this incredible ability to be kind and gracious - everyone she talked to gravitated towards her and appreciated the respect she gave them. However, whenever she needed to make a point or emphasize something in defense of us - she was able to be strong and direct, while also being approachable. That balance - we learned- is so important - and so rare.
After getting so close several times, we were defeated and Leanne came to save the day! She always had a way to pick us up, encourage us, remind us of the vision and always had a suggestion or even joke! We finally landed on an amazing location and venue and then we were off to planning!
I will add that we ended up doing a destination wedding - and Leanne is an expert at that as well! Her “go figure it out” mentality helped us figure out things in a place that neither of us were from, and her ability to be incredibly diplomatic and understanding helped her create a great relationship with the local vendors.
Our wedding also had some India traditions - and Leanne was fantastic with truly trying to understand what the traditions were and where they come from, and how they need to be implemented. We have experienced other people in the wedding industry just tolerating different cultural activities- but not Leanne- she fully embraced it and implemented it with grace. She even ended up facilitating the set up of all the Indian decor and her design eye was perfect - it looked amazing!
The actual planning of the events was flawless as well. Through it all (a 3 day wedding I might add) she kept us calm, made us laugh, and helped us be present. We could not have asked for a better wedding planner. Leanne truly got our vision and went above and beyond to deliver the wedding of our dreams! If you are looking for someone who can catch onto your vision and deliver it….. Look no further….. Just be warned…. YOU WILL LOVE HER and you will be so very pleased you hired her!
For those of you who love bullet points here are some highlights (but not limited to):
Excellent communicator (with vendors, with family members, hotel reception, the couple, etc.
Always had a calming effect
Beautiful eye for decor
Won’t settle until you see your full vision
Amazing human being overall
Very flexible - as in she works the way that works best for the couple
Amazing with detail
Always made us laugh
Great follow through
Helps you come up with ideas to stay within budget
Is always honest - which we really appreciated
Can think outside the box

She even ended up facilitating the set up of all the Indian decor and her design eye was perfect - it looked amazing!
The actual planning of the events was flawless as well. Through it all (a 3 day wedding I might add) she kept us calm, made us laugh, and helped us be present. We could not have asked for a better wedding planner. Leanne truly got our vision and went above and beyond to deliver the wedding of our dreams! If you are looking for someone who can catch onto your vision and deliver it….. Look no further….. Just be warned…. YOU WILL LOVE HER and you will be so very pleased you hired her!
For those of you who love bullet points here are some highlights (but not limited to):
Excellent communicator (with vendors, with family members, hotel reception, the couple, etc.
Always had a calming effect
Beautiful eye for decor
Won’t settle until you see your full vision
Amazing human being overall
Very flexible - as in she works the way that works best for the couple
Amazing with detail
Always made us laugh
Great follow through
Helps you come up with ideas to stay within budget
Is always honest - which we really appreciated
Can think outside the box

Leanne was instrumental in our success
Leanne was instrumental in solidifying everything for our wedding. I was incredibly stressed and had so much to do in the last 2 months and thankfully we found Leanne and she just whipped up a plan, got the information I need, got my decisions, relayed them, and figured everything out. Not only did she help fill in the gaps, but she created a timeline, made sure to connect with everyone to communicate needs, and even helped decorate everything on the day off. She set up, took down, cleaned up, and orchestrated so well, I couldn't be more thrilled. Thank you so much Leanne, everything was beautiful.Leanne was instrumental in solidifying everything for our wedding.

You can not go wrong hiring Jewell Event Design. My daughter and most of her wedding guests live in Arizona. So we decided we couldn't do this alone, we needed help. I called three wedding planners in the area and Leanne reached out to us right away. I was actually shocked since I left word for her on a weekend!!! We gave her little time to put together Amanda's vision but she managed to make it all perfect. Leanne is top notch and you will be forever grateful that you hired her. She earns and deserves her 5 star rating!!

Leanne was fabulous. She has a number of people in various areas that she has great relationships with and recommended for us to use and they were all perfect. I could not be happier with her services. She and everyone we worked with were professional and very courteous. I highly recommend her and would use her services again.Leanne was fabulous.

From my very first phone conversation with Leanne, I knew she was the DOC for us. She was practical, honest, and funny - a breath of fresh air. I soon learned that she knows EVERYONE in the event and wedding industry in Colorado, and she worked her connections to make our wedding go off without a hitch, while saving us time, money, and worry. Each one of her vendor recommendation was gold. Even though we didn't book a full planning package, Leanne went above and beyond for us, and in the last two months before the wedding she was our rock - always available and quick to reply to texts or emails. She called me more often than I called her - she is just that amazing.
Some cool things Leanne pulled off for us:
- Sending her assistant to our house to find and get our cake topper, which we forgot to bring the day of the wedding.
- Solving a crazy misunderstanding with our musician the day before the wedding, overcoming the language barrier, while keeping us calm and up-to-date on the situation.
- Hooking us up with our florist, who did an amazing job for a really affordable price.
- Organizing and orchestrating our rehearsal (with our families, not an easy feat).
- Hooking me up with honestly the best hairstylist in the world...
If I could change one thing about our wedding, I would book Leanne sooner.

When I got confirmation that the Gatlin Brothers would perform at my birthday party....for over 100 guests my wife decided to hire a party planner. We interviewed two and chose Leanne. We did not know what we didn’t know because from the moment we hired her she made us feel comfortable we had made the right choice. She outlined all the decisions that needed to be made...and made sure we made them. She knew the best of the best vendors for what we needed...and though we had choices, invariably we went with her recommendations. She worked directly with the Gatlin’s to coordinate their requirements for their musical needs...and they loved her. Our event was a great success in good part because it was so well planned by Leanne. We would recommend her for any party...particularly when it requires special needs....she is the BEST.When I got confirmation that the Gatlin Brothers would perform at my birthday party....for over 100 guests my wife decided to hire a party planner.

We are so fortunate to have worked with Jewell Event Design to plan our April 2018 wedding. I’ve planned many events professionally, which cemented my decision to hire a planner for my wedding. Working with Leanne meant that we were able to focus on getting married instead of worrying about the little details. Leanne also kept us on track through the planning process, which let me enjoy this experience with my husband-to-be instead of nagging him about tasks.
Leanne is clearly an experienced professional. Only someone truly confident in their ability to pull off a flawless event would listen to me describe my dream wedding as “floral overload, chaotic and clashing, loud, vibrant, and wild” and say “No worries! I’ve got this!” Our parents (who each contributed financially to the wedding) were so impressed upon meeting Leanne that they trusted us to do the planning without their input. Leanne is like a god amongst wedding vendors - other vendors universally respected her and were eager to please her, meaning we got excellent service.
Beyond embracing our theme, Leanne had a strong understanding of our values and worked diligently to ensure our wedding was a reflection thereof. With 75% of our guests coming from out of town, comfort was a top priority. Leanne helped us rework our budget to allocate more to the guest experience and pushed our venue to make guest-friendly tweaks, i.e. adding labeling to food stations for dietary restrictions. We’ve received so many compliments on our wedding and are thrilled it was a meaningful and fun celebration for all.
Finally, we are grateful for how beautifully Leanne coordinated all our vendors on the day of the wedding. Her fabulous timeline and briefing document for the venue and vendors accounted for every detail. The vendors she recommends are all top-notch and work together well as a team. We can’t thank Leanne enough for her work planning our big day!We are so fortunate to have worked with Jewell Event Design to plan our April 2018 wedding.

Our January wedding was a smashing success—we can say without any reservation that the outcome is directly attributable to the effort, expertise and wisdom of Leanne.
As a wedding planner, Leanne has a wealth of experience upon which to draw. And a portfolio of community resources to address any need. We couldn’t have done it without her. Our event was beautiful, joyful and one of the most memorable days of our lives.
Need a venue to fit your budget? Leanne will suggest three or four. Need a photographer? Leanne will identify several. Need a caterer? Leanne will help you select the most appropriate vendors for your event. Need a DJ? Need flowers? Need hotel rooms for out of state guests? Need dance lessons for that first dance? In all cases, Leanne will handle it. Her planning and execution skills will help you create a vision and bring it to fruition. All within your budget and timeframe.
The best part of partnering with Leanne is that she’s great fun. Lively, energetic and bubbling with enthusiasm, she’s a whirlwind about getting things done on time. Even though our wedding involved only 25 guests, we got the VIP treatment. And even though we only had five months to plan, Leanne was awesome about keeping all the plates spinning and ensuring that our event went off perfectly, without any hiccups.Our January wedding was a smashing success—we can say without any reservation that the outcome is directly attributable to the effort, expertise and wisdom of Leanne.
