Emily Sent on 07/09/2025Thoughtful, Patient & WELL executed...
Jessica did an amazing job tying our wedding together! She was an excellent communicator with us leading up to the event, consistently keeping up with our emails, Zoom calls and text messages/phone calls. Jessica was level headed and decisive, yet soft with us as we navigated through the intricate wedding process. We had a unique wedding (very authentic/creative) and Jess was so patient with every single detail. On the wedding day, she came with two extra helpers who truly went above and beyond. My family and close friends raved at how organized and well executed the wedding was and a large part of that goes to Jess. We look forward to staying connected with Jess. We would recommend Jess to anyone who needs her services! -

Jess and her team are fabulous.
It started as soon as I found her on the Knot- it was seamless to set up our first call, and she was the most responsive partner ever. She helped me identify my needs and figure out which package best fit where I needed help versus what I was ready to take on myself. Meeting with her brought so much clarity to me & my mom as we navigated the planning process. She had recommended vendors, templates and total control of our timeline. She understood my priorities, working to make sure we could do our first look in my dream location.
Her support day of what wonderful too: her calm demeanour, organization and proactive approach made things seamless. She went above and beyond when disaster almost struck: My dress was big, and it required me lifting it with both hands to move around outside without dragging. As such, I kept forgetting my bouquet everywhere. From running it to me as I was about to go down the aisle, to driving back to our photo location during the reception, she made sure things were perfect.
Absolutely recommend her to everyone! -

Like others have said, working with her was easily one of the best wedding decisions we made. Since the moment I met her I knew she was the one. I had met with a couple other planners, but she is what wedding dreams are made of. She’s incredibly kind, enthusiastic, well-versed on the industry, highly organized, detail-oriented, great aesthetic eye, and truly cares about you and your wedding. My husband and I are semi workaholics, and we knew we needed a planner from start to finish, so we hired her a couple of weeks after getting engaged. We wanted to get married on our anniversary exactly a year later (April 12) so we didn’t have much time. And we were planning our CT wedding all the way from Los Angeles, where we now live. Under her full wedding package, she guided us step by step, planning every meeting, sourcing out needed information, going back and forth with vendors for us, comforting us when it came to tough decisions. She was always accessible day or night and was incredibly reliable. She has the memory of an elephant. I don’t think I’ve trusted someone so fast. And you quickly realize the amount of decisions you have to make for a wedding and the management of all of the moving pieces and she’s so skilled at juggling all of it. Our vendors would also tell me privately what a great planner she was and how she advocated for us. Then when it came to the wedding week and day of, I was so at ease because of her and her team. I knew I didn’t have to worry about anything, even last-minute concerns like rain, and she delivered. On the wedding day her and her team were there 1000% prepared and organized (with headset mics!) managing the 4-person photo/video team, our 15-person wedding party, full Catholic Mass, and the many many wedding vendors. She did it with confidence, grace, and a smile. She brought me so much comfort and peace in the planning process and on the big day! Our wedding was on time and a complete success, and I know that’s because of her. I know my wedding experience would have been 10x more stressful without her. Words can’t express how grateful we are to have worked with her—I can cry. For a year I’ve raved about her to my family so much so that they were excited to finally meet her at the wedding HAHA. I can’t wait to find excuses to work with her again!! -

Jessica Sent on 09/07/2021Amazing, Jessica is the best!
I hired JHevents for month-of coordination of my wedding, and they absolutely blew me away! From my first conversation with Jessica Gonsalves, I could tell that she was organized and experienced, and very easy to get along with. She was enthusiastic and supportive about all our wedding ideas, but was also there to offer suggestions if we needed help, and practical reminders as we got closer to the wedding.
We had an intimate lakeside wedding, in my in-laws' backyard at the end of August. The day before, Jessica came to (I thought) run our ceremony rehearsal and go through final details with us - in actuality, she did so much more. She helped us set up for our rehearsal dinner, made calls to track down our rental delivery when it was late, and directed the rental deliveries and made sure we received everything we had ordered. On our wedding day, Jessica and her assistant Alicia were AMAZING. The setup looked incredible, like they literally took what I had in my head and put it out there (and I'll admit I am definitely particular about how I want things to look or be set up). Five minutes before our ceremony start time, it started to rain, and continued to rain for about 30 minutes. Jessica and Alicia ran and removed the seat cushions on the ceremony chairs so they would stay dry, ran the napkins through the dryer and refolded them all, wiped all the plates and tables down, and somehow managed to restore everything to how it looked before 30 minutes of rain. Jessica made sure everything ran smoothly the whole day and had the vendors all running on the same schedule, and had a very calming "everything is under control" presence throughout the wedding. Throughout the whole day, Jessica and Alicia were there executing our vision exactly as we wanted, they were available to help us and the guests anytime, and they were so kind and fun on top of it all. Thanks to JHevents, our wedding day went smoothly and was definitely much less stressful; all the work they did allowed me and my husband to actually enjoy the day and spend time with each other and with our guests.
Jessica Gonsalves and her team are SO good at what they do, truly professionals, and I would 110% recommend them to any couples looking for a planner or coordinator. -

If there was any single vendor we could attribute the perfection of our wedding to, it’s definitely Jessica of JHEvents. We brought her on as our day/month of coordinator, and she was absolutely essential. Anytime we had a question or needed an opinion before wedding day, she was helpful and responsive. Her organization made sure no detail was forgotten, and our wedding went off without a single hitch. If there was a single problem on the day, we didn’t know about it. On top of it all, she is cheerful and pleasant and just a wonderful, positive addition to your planning. Do not hesitate to book her! -

Right from our initial meeting with Jessica, I felt confident we were going to be in good hands with her as our day-of wedding coordinator. She is very professional, organized and detail oriented. She was punctual each time we met with her. Her communication throughout the entire planning process was wonderful, she was very responsive to any questions. She made sure all of our vendors were on the same page with the timeline for the day. When the big day arrived, it ran like clockwork! I had zero stress on our wedding day! On top of this, she is just a very personable, easy to work with person. I cannot stress enough how happy we were with the service she provided and with working with her. Even guests remarked to us how smoothly our wedding day went. I am someone who enjoys planning things, but planning your own wedding can certainly be overwhelming. You truly do need someone there to run the show for you on your wedding day. Hiring Jessica for this was one of the best decisions I made and took a huge amount of stress off of me. I can’t recommend her highly enough! -

David Sent on 07/18/2024We are so lucky to have found Jess!
We could not be happier with our decision to use Jess for her month-of/day-of services! From our very first call with her, we knew right away that she was the perfect fit for us. Not only is she incredibly kind and personable, she is passionate about what she does and extremely organized. She was always quick to respond to our many emails, and did a great job at keeping us calm at times we were stressed as she helped us find the appropriate solution. Even though her services didn't technically begin until the month before our wedding, she was vital in our vendor search by providing us excellent recommendations of people she had worked with previously and had a positive experience with. This was how we found the perfect person to watch our dog so we could include him in our wedding without worrying.
Leading up to our wedding, Jess did an amazing job getting in contact with all of our vendors to finalize all details, along with providing us suggestions and pointing out things we had overlooked to that point. On the actual day, she and her assistant, Arianna, went above and beyond to execute our vision perfectly, with us following her detailed timeline so that we didn't have to worry about anything else. We had multiple guests approach us on the day to tell us how incredible of a job she was doing.
Jess provides such an incredible value for her services and we are so lucky to have found her! We couldn't be happier with how smoothly everything went. We had the perfect wedding day and that was only possible because of Jess and her amazing team. We highly recommend Jess to everyone! -

Jessica and Alicia did an amazing job helping us plan, organize and run our wedding! They worked in an incredibly short timeframe to organize and help Carol and I have the beautiful wedding we had dreamed of. Hiring JHevents was the best decision we could have made! Jessica is so friendly, organized, responsive and easy to work with and took so much weight off of our shoulders. I would highly recommend JHevents to anyone planning a wedding. 5 stars!! -

Michelle Sent on 10/17/2025The Best!!!
Jess is the best of the best! We had a Catholic ceremony at a small church that I grew up going to, with our reception to follow at The Riverhouse. I knew with so many moving parts it would be really helpful to have someone’s expertise and organization to assist us. That’s when we found JHevents, and all I can say is wow! From my first interaction with Jessica, I knew she would be the perfect addition to our day. Her calm composure, friendliness, attention to detail and kindness made all the difference not to mention all that they do! We hired Jess as our month of coordinator and we could not have been more thrilled that we did. While we were traveling to Connecticut from Michigan just days before our wedding, Jess was working hard on confirming all details with our vendors, tying the lose ends on our timeline, and truly making us feel like everything was under control. And then on the day of we got to enjoy every second! Everything was taken care of from set up to break down at the venue so we did not have to worry or stress about a thing. It went absolutely perfectly all thanks to Jess and her team. If you are looking for someone to help ease your mind, help carry out your vision, and make your wedding dreams come true, look no further and get JHevents on your vendor team! -

Excellent Wedding Planner!
JH Events, Jessica and her assistants were an amazing help before and on the day of our wedding. We hired her for day of coordination. We met with her on Zoom a few times before the wedding and once at the venue before the wedding and all of our pre-wedding meetings were very helpful and she did a great job easing my stress. I had made some decor myself along with other supplies and put it in labeled bins. I did not have time during the day to decorate our venue and I trusted Jessica and her team to set it up the way I wanted and she did a great job. She worked with my vendors really well. She did an excellent job setting up the ceremony. I received so many compliments from guests at the wedding that her team was doing an awesome job and was everywhere working hard; everyone was very impressed. She helped troubleshoot when something didn’t go right, so the guests didn’t even notice. Jessica and her team gave us peace of mind for our wedding day coordination and I am so glad we picked her! We highly recommend JHEvents, they were wonderful to work with and helped our wedding be a success.JHevents's reply:
Thank you, we are so happy for you both! It was a pleasure being a part of your big day! -

Jess + team are amazing!!!
Hiring Jess and her team was absolutely one of the best decisions we made when planning our wedding!! We booked Jess and her team for their month-of planning services for our wedding ceremony at St. Patrick Church in Mystic and our wedding reception at Saltwater Farm Vineyard. With a guest count of about 175 guests, a 20-person bridal party, a full Catholic mass, and a reception with over 15 vendors, Jess’s team ensured the day ran smoothly and helped my husband and actually enjoy our wedding day!
Jess was a pleasure to work with from day one. Not only is she genuinely kind and friendly to all those she interacts with, she is extremely organized. She was integral in helping us finalize our wedding planning in the month or so leading up to the big day. Jess assisted us in crafting a detailed and well-thought out timeline. With multiple locations involved during the day, a large bridal party, and multiple shuttle buses for the guests, having Jess’s assistance with the timeline was key to ensuring the day ran as smoothly as possible. By being so organized and thoughtful during the pre-wedding process, she preempted so many potential issues that might have arisen. So many guests have told us that it was the most well-run wedding that they had ever attended!
On the day of the wedding, Jess and her team were simply amazing. They assisted the bridal party and our parents while getting ready, they helped set up the beautiful tables and decor at the reception, they ran point with our large team of vendors (caterer, band, florist, rentals, shuttles, photo, video—to name a few!), and ensured that we stayed on schedule throughout the day. We were ahead of schedule for much of the day (unheard of!!) largely due to Jess’s team. With so many people (guests, vendors, bridal party members) and moving parts (a pending hurricane, different shuttle routes, tons of vendors), I was nervous about the many logistics that could go wrong. Jess helped me feel prepared beforehand, and I felt so much more at ease on the wedding day knowing that her and her team would be able to tackle any problems that arose.
In sum, we simply cannot speak highly enough about Jess and her team! Jess was an absolute pleasure to work with and was integral to making our wedding such an incredibly special day. We can’t wait to follow along and see all the beautiful days she helps to create in the future!!JHevents's reply:
Sydney, thank you SO much for the thoughtful review! You and John were so sweet to work with from start to finish, it was truly an honor being a part of your special day! Your level of organization throughout the process made our jobs easy! We are so happy for you both, congratulations! -

Dawn Sent on 08/02/2022Best wedding coordinator
We hired Jessica for our wedding planner for the last month; we could not have made a better choice. She was very helpful in getting all of the last details in place, contacting the vendors prior to the wedding, helping with the rehearsal, making sure the setup was correct, bustling my dress etc. I am not sure what I would have done without Jessica and her assistant, Liz, especially the day of. I did not have to worry about one thing; they had everything handled and ran around to ensure the day went as planned. From helping make the last minute decision to move the ceremony indoors to running around to make sure it was perfect.
My fiancé and I were far apart at the venue prior to the ceremony, Jessica and her assistant were running back and forth between us, coordinating getting ready so when the photographer for there we could start with the getting ready pictures, first look, family pictures etc.
It was the best investments we made for our wedding; we did not have to worry about one thing and were able to enjoy the day. We cannot thank Jessica and Liz enough for being a huge part of our day and making everything happen with not one issue.JHevents's reply:
Thank you for the kind words, Dawn! We absolutely loved working with you and Richard, such a fun group!
