Allie Sent on 11/03/2025Jackquelyn from Josefina Events is Absolute Perfection!
There is no way we can adequately express our gratitude for Jackquelyn from Josefina Events. She wasn't just a coordinator; she was an absolute force of nature who went above and beyond to ensure our wedding was everything we hoped for—and more. She was, quite simply, perfect.
From the moment we started working together, Jackquelyn was entirely on top of every detail. Our weekly meetings were extremely helpful, serving as crucial guideposts that kept us organized and, most importantly, stress-free. We never once felt overwhelmed, which is a testament to her meticulous planning and calm demeanor.
More than just keeping us on schedule, Jackquelyn brought our entire vision to life perfectly. Walking into the reception space was breathtaking; the tablescapes were stunning, and the sweetheart table was a showstopper. Everything—from the smallest detail to the overall atmosphere—was exactly how I wanted it, and so much more.
Jackquelyn's support was invaluable in unexpected ways. We were thrilled to learn that she had decor available for us to use, which helped us save money without sacrificing the aesthetic vision. Furthermore, booking waitstaff through her was seamless, making the entire service and logistical flow of the day incredibly streamlined and easy.
However, the moment that truly showed her commitment was when she stepped in to help with my dress. When both my MOH and mom couldn't figure out the complicated bustle after the ceremony, Jackquelyn didn't hesitate—she personally came over and figured it out, saving the rest of our night! That level of personal, hands-on dedication is unmatched.
We truly cannot imagine our wedding day without her. It was the best night of our lives, and it was all because of Jackquelyn's flawless execution, deep professionalism, and genuine care. If you want a stress-free wedding, book Josefina Events! -

Todd Sent on 10/25/2025Absolutely phenomenal experience with Jackquelyn at Josefina Events!
From our very first consultation, Jackquelyn was transparent and made us feel completely at ease. Her attention to detail and deep understanding of the wedding planning process were evident right away. She took the time to understand our vision and translated it into a beautifully curated event that exceeded all expectations.
From the moment we started planning, Jackquelyn brought a sense of calm, clarity, and confidence to the entire process. Her organizational skills are unmatched—every detail was thoughtfully considered, and she kept everything on track with clear timelines and helpful checklists.
What truly set her apart was her communication. She was always available to answer questions, offer guidance, and provide updates. Whether it was a quick text or a detailed planning meeting, Jackquelyn made us feel heard and supported every step of the way.
Her ability to take our ideas and turn them into a cohesive, beautiful event was nothing short of magical. If you're looking for a planner who is professional, responsive, and genuinely passionate about creating unforgettable experiences, Josefina Events is the way to go!

Katherine Sent on 04/30/2025Forthright, professional, and kind
Jackquelyn really helped support my wedding planning process - we had monthly calls where she walked us through everything we needed to be doing that month, and checked in to make sure we were moving along well. She also had great vendor recommendations -- all of my vendors were 10/10 because of her honest judgment and feedback. We really appreciated how forthright, practical, and helpful she was in creating a dream day while also sticking to a budget. I highly recommend Jackquelyn and her team. Her judgment and taste is impeccable and she is a lovely person as well! -

Carson Sent on 12/05/202410/10 Wedding Planning Would Recommend to All Couples!
My husband and I worked with Jackquelyn of Josefina Weddings & Events to plan our dream wedding weekend at wineries in Temecula. She did all the planning and was absolutely incredible. She found all of our vendors, toured venues with us, ordered and sent out all our save the dates & invitations, and made my Pinterest board come to life. She was always just a text or a phone call away and made sure we were on track with everything months out from the big day. Her day of itinerary kept us completely on track for the day, handled all coordination/set up/take down, and made sure that we felt like superstars that day! We are so so thankful for everything she did for us! Thank you Jackquelyn!!!! -

Jimmy Sent on 10/20/2024Wedding Dream Come True
We loved working with Jackquelyn of Josefina Weddings & Events for the planning of our destination wedding in La Jolla, California. She immediately understood our vision and went above and beyond to make our wedding dream a reality. Jackquelyn is warm, friendly, and easy to work with. She was always quick to respond to texts, calls, and emails. She had smart and cost-effective advice and solutions. And since we were working with Jackquelyn from another state, she was always accommodating and available to work with our schedule and time zone. One of my favorite memories on our special day, was arriving at the venue to see that she had perfectly executed everything we had been planning. It was like walking into our dream. The entire event was perfect, and no detail was missed. We can’t thank her enough for making our wedding dream come true. -

Salima Sent on 06/15/2024Let Josefina Events make your life easier!
Before I get into my review of the wedding planning process with Josefina Events, there were two things about Jackquelyn that really made the process much easier for me: 1) she went above and beyond the call of duty. She was down on her hands and knees taking my shoes off after a long night of dancing. She knew I had hardly anything to eat in two days and brought a plate of food directly to me during hair and makeup. She stored my wedding décor in her own house for me. I don’t know if these are typical duties of a wedding planner, but I really appreciated feeling as if she went out of her way for me. And 2) she was extremely communicative and responsive. This was a big requirement for me when I was choosing a wedding planner and Jackquelyn was always there to answer any question I had – big or small – and the response time was always immediate, professional and courteous.
Also, before I get into my review…my husband and I had a small argument over the budget two weeks before the wedding. I was actually worried Jackquelyn was going to quit on us. Instead, she handled the situation professionally and with aplomb. I was really impressed by her response back to my husband…he ended up apologizing to her for overreacting! Her experience really shone through in this situation.
I found Josefina Events through a Google search of Palm Desert wedding planners. I met with several before picking Josefina Events, largely because I loved their creative ideas. Right off the bat, Jackquelyn was patient, professional and knowledgeable. I wanted to be very much involved in every step of the process and not once did Jackquelyn get annoyed or frustrated with me. And I’m sure if you want her to handle the whole wedding on her own, she’d be okay with that too!
Josefina Events also has a wonderful selection of vendors. I had guests tell me they had never seen a wedding like ours (everything from the flatware to the dining tables was unique) and that was in large part due to the vendors Jackquelyn recommended. In addition, once she passed on the vendors’ websites to me, she took a backseat and let me run amok and stepped in when it came time for the administrative stuff. But we also collaborated together throughout the process as well, like with the décor, menus, disposables, etc. She brought in her expertise when she knew I needed it and took a step back when she knew I didn’t. Jackquelyn also recommended a fantastic photographer with whom I felt totally comfortable. Posing for photos can be so awkward, so it helps to have a photographer who makes you feel like a friend is taking your picture. I wish I had also listened to Jackquelyn when picking the florist. I went with one I had used in the past, but now wished I had gone with Jackquelyn’s recommendation. Like I said, I picked Josefina Events for their creative ideas and Jackquelyn did not disappoint. She had so many cute details and touches that put our wedding just a step above.
Our small wedding turned into four events across two days and Josefina Events was there every step of the way (Jackquelyn was also there for us weeks after our wedding when we ran into some unforeseen issues). Not everything will go accordingly to plan during the wedding planning process, but without Jackquelyn, I know it would have been stressful and difficult. Do yourself a favor and leave all that for Jackquelyn and pick Josefina Events to help plan your wedding! -

Jason Sent on 05/21/2024Best Decision of our Wedding!
Jackquelyn from Josefina events was our last month coordinator for our April Wedding. I had interviewed several other planners in the San Diego area and what drew me to Jackquelyn was her professionalism as well as a sense of confidence of what she offered as a coordinator. Hiring her was the best decision we made for our wedding and ultimately, the whole wedding went off without a hitch! We had weekly talks and chatted constantly leading up to the wedding. She was always available via text or email. She helped us make decisions and reminded us of what else needed to be done before the big day. Additionally, she helped source additional vendors as we realized some additional needs/wants towards the end. My husband and I would highly recommend hiring Jackquelyn, you won’t regret it. -

Alex Sent on 11/25/2023Thank gosh for Josefina Wedding & Events
Throughout the entire wedding process, one of the sayings that kept coming up was, “thank gosh for Jacquelyn!” With our big amount of families and friends, we decided to have a 500+ wedding. We knew a large scale wedding like this was inevitably going to have logistical nightmares leading up to the day; however, every issue that came up, Jacquelyn was always there to resolve our issues in a prompt manner.
She dealt with all of our vendors, scheduling, provided us all the tips/insights we needed to make decisions, went in person with us to deal with the venue, got all of our permits, made sure all of our stuff got home at the end of the night, and much much more. She made the wedding process go smoothly and we were able to just focus on enjoying and being present at our wedding.
I’m not sure how our wedding would have been without Jacquelyn. She was truly our peace of mind and helped us turn our dream wedding into a reality. Hands down, Jacquelyn is one of the best to work with in San Diego. If you want peace of mind and professionalism, make sure to lock down Jacquelyn! -

Annamarie Sent on 07/23/2022TLDR: Hire Josefina Events
TLDR/if your wedding is in 4 weeks or less: Just hire Josefina Events right now. Best thing you’ll do for your wedding!
Full review: When we found Josefina Events, our wedding was in a difficult spot. We were having two ceremonies, a native ceremony on Friday followed by a western wedding on Saturday, and we had lost our original planner. This made the whole process very complicated for us to manage. One month out from our date, we had all of our vendors booked (venue/food, DJ, photographers, etc.), but COVID was resurging, we faced shortages of flowers, and we were facing challenges left and right. We needed a superhero to help us get our wedding rolling, and we found her!
From our first call with Jackquelyn, we knew that we were in good hands. Jackquelyn took the reins and helped us stitch together all of our vendors into a unit, plan our day carefully, and take care of all the little details that make the experience special for our guests (signage, heel stoppers, you name it). She connected us with great rental and floral vendors, and she even went to scope out the venue in advance to make sure our table layout would work properly. She managed vendors and guests across multiple cultures with great respect.
Even more, Jackquelyn helped keep the day running smoothly. Anytime a vendor asked us for something, we’d just point them to Jackquelyn, who would handle it with consummate professionalism despite the dual ceremonies, multiple venues, and compressed timelines.
Perhaps the biggest vote of confidence is that our family hired her to plan my brother’s wedding which will take place in a few months. Thank you so much!

Ellie Sent on 03/26/2022Excellent Assistance
Well worth every penny spent. Josefina Events (Jackquelyn) displayed expertise and care throughout the wedding process. She has a very thorough and organized process that helps set their high standard. She was almost like a personal assistant throughout the actual wedding day; something I wasn’t expecting. Initially, I thought we don’t need a wedding planner, boy was I wrong. Weddings are very stressful and require many behind the scene details, something you don’t realize until it’s time to plan your own. Thank you, Josephina Events!! -

Best day ever!
Being a 2020 turned 2021 bride was no easy feat, however having a wedding planner who was a constant beam of hope in the planning process was what helped me make it to the best day ever! Laura and Kristin from Josefina Events flawlessly took over for this type A bride and helped to execute the most perfect day I could have ever imagined. They handled all of our vendors, family, and friends with ease and kept us on schedule the entire day, all the while ensuring we were having the time of our lives. They were truly a blessing on the day of and handled everything from the beginning of the day until the very end so that I did not have to worry about one single thing! I cannot recommend Josefina Events enough, they truly went above and beyond, were compassionate in the face of the rollercoaster of wedding planning, were professional throughout, and truly felt like a family friend (that just happened to be really amazing at planning, organizing, and executing weddings lol!). Thank you to Laura and Kristin for helping to make our long awaited day come true - would 10/10 do it all over again just to relive the most perfect day! -

Karlie Sent on 02/22/2021Laura made my DREAM DAY a reality snd it was even better than I imagined.
Best thing I did was hire Luara to help me plan our wedding. She put me at ease from the moment I first spoke to her. I am a major over-thinker, to the point where it ruins all the fun for myself. Laura took everything off my plate and not only did I get to enjoy planning it but I was able to enjoy the entire day without a single worry. The team of vendors she surrounds herself with were amazing as well. People are still texting me saying how gorgeous the event was and how much fun they had. Sad to see the event be over but can't wait to work with Laura again. She is a must hire -

Love and Light
There are no words that can describe my experience with Laura but here we go. From the beginning of pre-COVID wedding planning, Laura was a shining light of energy. She’s knowledgable, charismatic and honest. She’ll give you her honest opinion on vendors, budget planning and expectations. Her industry experience is completely unparalleled. I was excited to start planning the big day with a great support.
Fast forward COVID where no one knew what was going on. Laura stayed positive and honest and hopeful throughout it all. There was a lot of checking in and a sense of ‘it’s going to be ok’ which is exactly what I needed. Despite everyone telling me to push the wedding to 2021 so ‘everyone can be there’ Laura helped me see the only person that needed to be there was my fiancé. Laura would help me with whatever I decided but in my heart I knew this was the right path for us.
After 3 wedding date changes, 1 venue cancellation and a dramatic drop in guests, I got my dream wedding. To say that I truly could not have done it without Laura would be a understatement. Is she a new best friend, a therapist, a magical fairy godmother and a boss? Yes, yes, yes and hell yes!!! The day was executed flawlessly which speaks volumes to Laura’s planning. She brought together a vision I didn’t even know was possible. I was truly taken aback by the beauty of the venue. I trusted Laura’s vision and expertise and was not disappointed. I couldn’t have ‘pinned’ a more beautiful day. As I waited to walk down the with my dad, with tears in his eyes he said, “wow, this is absolutely incredible.” He is a man of few words but they are full of sentiment.
I can never thank her enough for planing the most special day of my life but the happiness that we all exude from the photos are a great start.
Laura, I hope you know your gifts are as unique as you! Thank you for always putting my mind at ease, coming up with hilarious puns, having the most calming energy and for simply being you throughout this wild journey! -

Christine Sent on 10/10/2020Pure magic - Laura's so much more than a wedding planner!
Laura is the epitome of what it is to be a wedding planner and true partner throughout the process! She's extremely detail oriented, responsive, honest, a true advocate for her clients, and extremely empathetic and positive. She even created a custom package for me when I let her know that I wasn't needing the full or partial planning, but wanting something more than just day-of coordination. If you were planning a wedding and suddenly a pandemic hit, you're going to wish you had Laura in your corner! I couldn't be more grateful that I chose her!
COVID-19 had us navigate through changing the wedding date 3 times, switching venues twice, and working through changing details right up until the week of the wedding. Throughout the process, Laura went above and beyond and was extremely empathetic, calling to check in on how I was doing emotionally, providing an ear to listen and words of support, guidance on how to handle difficult conversations with vendors, and reminding me that she was by my side through it all ensuring the day would be magical. Not once did she complain as things were constantly changing, rather the opposite - ensuring all of my vendors were on the same page and notified asap as any changes were made. So much so that every single one of my vendors commented on how awesome and on top of it she was.
I just got married on October 1, 2020 and the wedding day was beyond anything I could have dreamed of, a true fairytale. I was so calm that day, knowing Laura was taking care of everything and making sure everyone was safe, and that we were on schedule. She reminded us to breathe and take it all in, and to take time as a couple after the ceremony. All these little things add up to big things, as this truly was a perfect day that went off without a hitch. She started as my planner, but now she's someone I consider a dear friend. Thank you so much for turning my vision into a reality, Laura! -

Melissa Sent on 04/06/2020Highly recommended wedding planner!
We are so grateful to have found Laura from Josefina Wedding & Events to work with as a planner for our wedding. Unfortunately, we have had to postpone our wedding until next year due to COVID-19 and Laura has been so wonderful and accommodating. We have already been working with her for almost a year and she is always so responsive and provides us with so much useful information. She is so experienced and has so many great connections within the Coachella valley. We are confident that when our wedding arrives, we will not have to worry about anything because we have Laura as our planner. We would highly recommend Josefina Weddings & Events to anyone that is looking for 5-star planning services. -

Brieze Sent on 01/17/2020Best Wedding Designers/Producers in the Field!
If you are looking for the best wedding or event designers/producers on the planet, then stop your search right now because I promise you will find that in Josefina Events! Laura and her fantastic team (including Dana, Bryce, and others) designed and produced our wedding and they could not have done a more spectacular job! My husband and I recommend them wholeheartedly to plan your wedding and/or special event.
When we met Laura (Josefina Events Founder and CEO), it was immediately clear that she is brilliant, engaging, and kind. She exudes creativity, vision, and the energy it takes to accomplish any dream you might have. It didn't take more than a couple of conversations and review of her outstanding work to realize that she and her team were the wedding producers of our dreams! We never regretted the decision for an instant.
Peter and I could not have made a better decision. At every turn, Laura and her team made the process fun, rewarding, and relaxing. She took the inspiration we gave her and turned it into an incredibly luxurious, beautiful, and fun weekend that was a joy for us and all of our guests! Throughout the process, the Josefina Events team introduced us to an A-list group of vendors who made the event planning a breeze. She and her team turned our inspiration into a reality that FAR exceeded expectations, and we truly had the wedding weekend of our dreams! She also respected our budget throughout the process, which was so appreciated. Most importantly, Laura and her team became valued friends throughout the process. For example, she and her team found creative and beautiful ways to honor the spirit of my late mother throughout the wedding weekend. We truly connected and she understood how much my mom means to be, and that was reflected in such moving and tasteful ways at our wedding.
Josefina Events is the BEST wedding design and production team in Coachella Valley (and quite frankly, anywhere!). We can't recommend them highly enough to plan and produce your special day! -

Merima Sent on 01/07/2020The best ladies to work with!
Dana was a god send on our wedding day! I opted for the month of wedding planning option since I was taking care of a lot of the pre-planning logistics myself, but really needed someone who could take over and handle all vendor comms, timeline planning and day of coordination and I am SO GLAD I did! Dana jumped on board about a month out from our wedding, we handled mostly everything over email and it was so easy because she was so organized and detail oriented. She and Kristin made our wedding day seamless and stress free, even when our flower delivery person was late, they kept things calm and more importantly made me feel like they were on top of it and had it handled. Both Dana and Kristin were true professionals and helped with every detail the day of our wedding, even helping to manage my crazy foreign family. We could not have been more happy with the service we got and I would highly recommend them to any future bride. -

Adi F. Sent on 10/29/2019Best Wedding Decision
Hiring Josefina was the best wedding decision I made. My husband and I wanted to get married at a house, so the wedding was very DIY. Three months before our wedding, we hadn't done much and were struggling to find time to research and vet the vendors we'd need (eg. table/chair rentals, bathroom rentals, caterers, DJs, buses to take guests to/from the venue and on and on). We were VERY stressed. I found Josefina online and their reviews were perfect, so I scheduled a time to speak with Laura and I immediately felt relieved. She talked me through the different options and it was clear because of the time frame and the DIY nature of the wedding we'd need full-service planning. And I'm so happy we did it! Jackquelyn did the most amazing job. She walked us through every decision, clearly explained the pros and cons of each option, and made recommendations (which were all spot on). She set a realistic budget from the outset, was very clear about invoicing and budgeting, and helped us stay within our budget. She was there on day-of to coordinate all the vendors and it took all the stress out of the day. I was so pleased with all the vendors! The flowers were so beautiful, the DJ was a hit, the food was delicious and the photographer/videographers were great! She made sure everyone was where they should be when they needed to be and that all the preparations went smoothly. The wedding decor was so much better than what I could have imagined/planned myself (I'm a lawyer, and have no artistic sensibility). I'm immensely thankful to Jackquelyn and Laura who guided us through the process, made it all seem easy and created the most incredible day for us. I cannot recommend Jackquelyn and Laura and their whole team highly enough!! -

Jacquelyn did an amazing job, she was responsive, kind and easy to work with. We hired her for the month of and felt at ease during that last stretch working with her. Her communication with us was great and her ability to work with the vendors the day of is why we would refer her. The day was perfect and exactly what we hoped for! -

Wonderful, Marvelous, Fabulous, Epic...Thank you so much Laura and your team for making this the wedding of Katie and David Dreams. Your attention to detail and seeing the vision that Katie and David had was overwhelming, the vendors you referred us to were the best and the venue couldn't have been any better, your emotional support was very much appreciated. To sum it up.....we hit the jackpot when we brought you into the mix and we think of you as family. We will definitely keep in touch with you and fill you in on every event that happens in Katie and David's life. You are without a doubt the best of the best and we love you for all you have done :) -

Jenny Sent on 01/18/2019I love working with these AMAZING coordinators!
As a wedding photographer professional, I always spot the difference between a good and bad wedding coordinator, and let me just say this... this team delivers AMAZING execution every time!! I loved working with Dana and Jackquelyn. They're both make my clients feel so much at ease because they literally take care of every detail in a professional manner.
I've never worked with wedding coordinators as involved as they are. They emailed the schedule out timely with every detail so that I would be ready. During family photos, Dana even stepped up to help me coordinate the crowd and got them excited for their turn, haha! We shot at the Tom Ham Light house and during the portrait session, and she was so involved in helping the bride with her dress and making sure we have enough time for different locations. She never rushed and made sure the bride and I got enough photos during the session.
Jackquelyn is so attentive to all her brides and would think of things they wouldn't think of. She helped hunt and line people up for the ceremony in a timely manner. She made sure all the vendors arrived early and everything was set up so early, I didn't have to wait long to do detail shots of the reception. These coordinators know what they're doing have great attention to all details!
Sometimes brides/grooms think they don't need a coordinator/planner and can handle the process themselves, but its absolutely crucial. Weddings can present stressful moments, but these ladies have the BEST attitude in staying calm, professional, and upbeat! They have positive energy and are always working hard on their feet. I love them , my brides love them, and we highly recommend their services! -

Karin Sent on 11/02/2018Excellent day-of wedding coordination delivered by Jackquelyn Dinh
This review is specifically for Jackquelyn Dinh who is now a member of Josefina Events. Jackquelyn was our day of wedding coordinator and she executed everything flawlessly, from lining up our bridal party to walk down the aisle, transporting and setting up decorations, to greeting guests... The list is endless. There probably is more that she did for us that day that we'll never know about. But, what I am certain about is that, if it were not for Jackquelyn working behind the scenes, we would not have been able to execute a successful 150 guest wedding. She was always prompt, dependable and friendly. I cannot thank her enough for all that she has done. Without her, we wouldn't have been able to enjoy the day as much as we did. We were relaxed knowing we could count on Jackquelyn to execute and put out the fires, and most importantly, with such grace! Thank you x million Jacquelyn Dinh! -
Betsy Sent on 09/25/2018We are so happy to have hired Dana and Josefina Events for our wedding day. Our venue required us to use multiple vendors and rentals, and when it became apparent that we did not want to be the contact person the "day of," we immediately began looking for a wedding planner. Upon meeting, Dana was so warm, caring, professional, and thorough, we hired her immediately for "The Month of Planning" with confidence. All I had to do was fill out a spreadsheet of who I hired, and forward my contracts, she took care of the rest. As the month approached, I was pleasantly surprised when I reached out to her to check in, and she responded that she had already connected and confirmed with all of our wedding vendors! From that huge sigh of relief onward, our wedding planning process was a breeze. Dana was accessible, responsive, and creative in every question or concern we threw at her. We did not have to think or stress about anything...Dana created a timeline for us to follow, and confirmed with all the vendors, making changes if necessary. And the day of...it was magic! She was onsite to manage all vendor deliveries and setup, and setting the stage for the most beautiful and personal wedding, having her on our side was such a relief so we were able to enjoy our day. We did not have to think of anything. From gently reminding us where we needed to be and when, to the small details, like moving items to the reception site, and placing our florals, no detail was ignored. I remember at the end of the night being so thankful to Dana and her team, for all the behind the scenes work to make our wedding day the most memorable and enjoyable day. She works so hard, so that the wedding couple can enjoy their celebration and fruits of their planning and preparation. We would not have been able pull off such a beautiful wedding had it not been for Dana and Josefina events. We highly recommend them to everyone planning a wedding or event!

Imelda Sent on 09/20/2018The thought of having to plan a wedding while attending my last year of graduate school was an immediate stressor! Being in San Diego we looked into some venues in Mexico and everything was just falling through. We had even considered postponing the wedding or eloping considering that he was starting graduate school as well and we just started to get discouraged. Luckily for me, I found Josefina Events! After one call with Laura, I immediately felt at ease and knew that with their help we could make it happen! My husband and I decided to go with the Meet me Halfway Package since we knew we were going to need a lot of direction. We also asked if they could assist us in finding a venue since we were both of steam. Dana immediately took the reigns and started our venue search and it's all history from there! Dana helped us find our perfect venue and also kept us in line with our budget. The planning process was beginning to become more enjoyable and stress-free. She assisted us with all the vendors and revised contracts. Communication between us was outstanding! We met several times throughout the process as well to make sure we were all on the same page and to follow up with any questions that we might have had. A month before the wedding she took over all contact with vendors and I was able to really just enjoy my bachelorette party and the pre-wedding pampering. The day of she made sure all vendors were on time and kept our timeline on point! Our wedding was truly everything we had wished for and more! Dana and Laura definitely came through and made our wedding the best it could have possibly been. From setup to breakdown everything worked out perfectly. I know that we would have never been able to pull that off and stay on budget! Dana made the whole process so much fun and her passion for this work really stands out through her actions and commitment to her brides. We will never ever be able to thank you ladies enough for all of your hard work!!

Ian Sent on 09/20/2018There is no way we could have pulled off such an amazing wedding day without Dana and the team at Josefine Events. Dana was on top of EVERYTHING! We were so worried leading up to the big day that it wasn't going to come together. 30 days out Dana contacted all our vendors and started making sure everyone was briefed on how we wanted the day to go. Day of our wedding could not have gone any smoother!!!! Dana helped make our wedding so memorable and stress-free! Thank you!

Austen Sent on 09/19/2018I don't even know where to begin with writing this review... My husband and I felt so blessed to have found Dana with Josefina Events to coordinate our specail day.
We believe that the wedding wouldn't have turned out as amazing as it did without her. She was so easy to work with and really made all my visions come to life on our wedding day. Everything from the church ceremony to the end of the reception was so well organzied and put together. Dana really went above and beyond the call of duty when it came to contacting her before the wedding. The last couple of weeks is about the most nerve wracking and she was always there by my side having my back with anything that came to mind. Dana also worked very well with all our vendors for the wedding and took total charge of the wedding day which I can't even begin to explain how thankful i was for that. Everyone was so relaxed the day of the wedding.
One memorable thing she did for my husband and I was at the end of the night when we got back to our room she had our florist Laura with Bluebell Florals and the hotel staff set up a romantic setting fo us.
All in all we highly reccomend hiring Josefina Events for any event you have coming up. They really know what they're doing.

Ashley Sent on 07/25/2018Highly recommend Josephina events to ensure a smooth wedding day! Dana was an excellent communicator and responded to all emails promptly. I loved her layout of the tables and chairs at all 3 locations of our venue. It was amazing to be able to leave all of the communication between vendors to Dana so I didn’t have to stress about the small stuff. There were no mishaps during the wedding except for when the caterer didn’t have the salads ready in time. Dana calmly handled that situation by suggesting we do the dances first as to allow more time for the caterer to prepare the salads. Nobody noticed that anything had gone “wrong”. It was the perfect save! So appreciative to have had such an awesome team to make my day exceptional. Thank you Dana, Jackquelyn, and Sydney!

Kelly Sent on 11/10/2017I can't imagine my wedding without Laura and Dana of Josefina Events! Josefina Events was recommended to me by a friend of mine who used them as a coordinator for their wedding, and I am so glad I took their advice.
I planned most of my October wedding myself, but since my wedding was going to be at my parent's house in their backyard, I felt I needed a day of coordinator to help me bring everything together and handle logistics. At the time of hiring JE, I couldn't have imagined the amount of work tying everything together would have been, but because I had Laura (and Dana day-of) everything came together seamlessly! Laura provided just the guidance we needed to make our ceremony run smoothly, hosting a rehearsal the day before, and handled all communication with vendors 10 days before the wedding, allowing me to relax and prepare for the big day. Laura also gave me advice on how to handle some requests I had for my vendors before her services officially started, which was extremely helpful in making sure everything ran smoothly.
Day of, her and Dana were amazing - their help ensured that no one from my family (or my husband and I) had to do anything except enjoy ourselves! Josefina Events comes highly recommended by me for event planning needs. I would hire them again in a heartbeat! -

Joy Sent on 03/16/2015We hired Josefina events for the partial planning service- as we don't know much at all about planning a wedding, let alone in our own backyard! The first time we met, she had a pretty good vision and a very enthusiastic attitude. During the planning stage, she recommended some really amazing vendors that matched our personalities and style; and when there're some hiccups with one vendor (which wasn't her fault), she made sure things are fixed FAST and we got the service we deserved from the vendor- she would jump on the matter whenever she feels her client is mistreated- so we don't have to stress over it :)
The day of the wedding, her team was punctual, PROFESSIONAL and friendly to all our guests. They helped set things up and break down efficiently throughout the evening. We had 2 dogs that Dana (one girl on the team) took really good care of during the wedding- which was a huge help as well!
I would recommend Josefina events to anyone I know.
