Ben Sent on 05/27/2024Simply amazing!
I had the pleasure of working with Jen for our wedding at Blue Hill at Stone Barns and cannot recommend her highly enough! Throughout the entire process, Jen was attentive, patient, and accommodating to all of our needs. In the planning phase, Jen was extremely helpful - she gave us great suggestions on vendors and on how to structure our wedding day. On our wedding day, Jen was absolutely amazing! Everything in her control went exactly as planned. Jen handled last minute weather changes with the calmness and confidence we needed. She was able to work with the venue to quickly move our ceremony to be covered and our cocktail hour indoors. Despite the sudden change, our ceremony and cocktail hour were absolutely beautiful.
Jen was incredibly easy to work with and made us feel supported from start to finish. I highly recommend working with her and will definitely reach out to Jen for any future events!

We cannot recommend Jen and Lovely Events enough! We had Jen come on as a partial planner as I had some experience "planning" my sisters wedding years prior, but I quickly realized we needed an expert this time around. Jen was so easy to work with, she was very responsive and no question was too small. She was also able to guide us on any decisions we had and we trusted her expertise! I wasn't sure what to expect with having a wedding planner but Jen went above and beyond anything I thought of! She seamlessly took over as the wedding neared, which put all our nerves at ease. And with so many moving parts on the day of, Jen still managed to come by and pick up all day of items to bring to the venue so we had one less thing to worry about! At the venue, Jen and her assistants Riley and Grace, were amazing! They were always checking in with me and my family to make sure everyone was comfortable while making sure all the vendors were set and things were on schedule. They were also so accomodating when we made some very last minute changes and they did it all with a smile! Jen and her team truly want to make your big day as calm and easy as possible and they definitely suceeded in that! We 10000% recommend Lovely Events and wish we could get married again if only to work with Jen again. -

Kayla Sent on 07/16/2022Run, don’t walk to hire Lovely Event!
Working with Jen and her team at Lovely Events was the best wedding decision we made. We thought we had everything together and could plan and coordinate a wedding all on our own, but we were sure wrong! Jen kept us on track, and reminded of us tasks we would have never thought of. There are so many small details to think of, and endless things that could go amiss on your wedding day, and we felt at ease knowing the ladies at Lovely Events were there for us. From the two years leading up to our wedding to the end of the night, everything was seamless all thanks to Lovely Events. Worth every penny! We only wish we started working with Jen earlier in the process. -

Amy F. Sent on 11/30/2021Amazing combination of organized and creative!
Working with Jen from Lovely Event Planning was one of the best wedding planning decisions we made! She is thorough and organized, but also creative and has an eye for design. She helped us stay on top of all the planning details throughout the year that we worked together and provided amazing guidance on our design decisions from invitations to napkins to lighting. She has relationships with so many wonderful vendors and helped us choose the perfect team to make our vision a reality. She was always available to answer questions or talk us through decisions, and we truly didn't have to worry about a thing on our wedding day because we knew that she and her team had all the details covered. Our wedding was absolutely perfect thanks to Jen and we couldn't recommend Lovely Event Planning highly enough! -

Shannon Sent on 11/14/2021Best decision we made!
We hired the Lovely Event Planning team to help with our originally planned August 2020 wedding, then the pandemic hit. Jen was so incredibly supportive and we were able to postpone and pull off the most magical day a year later in 2021. Jen was so thoughtful about every little detail and had the best recommendations in terms of vendors. She was very responsive to email and went above and beyond throughout the whole process. On the day of, the entire Lovely Team was so helpful and allowed the entire wedding party to really enjoy the day. Hiring Jen and her team was one of the best decisions we made when planning our wedding. -

Soley Sent on 11/03/2021You need Jen to help plan your wedding!
Jennifer Andaur was the perfect wedding coordinator! She's ultra supportive, responsive, and honest and helped us create the wedding of our dreams! She went above and beyond to help us through countless reschedulings, helpings us coordinate, and re-rcoordinate, and re-coordinate with our vendors and the venue, and gave us tremendously helpful advise and empathy through all the wedding planning uncertainty of 2020 and 2021.
Day of the wedding went without a hitch due to Jen's expertise and overall awesomeness!! (and we have a lotttt of decorations)
I also LOVE AislePlanner. Honestly don't know how people plan weddings without it, and if you work with Jen -- this tool is included! An absolute must.

Kristen was amazing before and during the event. She was totally available, calming us when we were worried, anticipating anything that might occur and always having a solution. So kind and professional. I could not recommend them more highly. -

When I began wedding planning I knew I had to get a wedding planner since I was a bride planning from another state (and moving again a few months later) Jen from Lovely from the very start was exactly what I was looking for. Over the course of a year she always answered my emails promptly and took my calls when ever I wanted to chat about ideas. The two months before my wedding she put my mind at ease. She is not only super well organized but also able to fix any issue right away! My wedding venue required me to seek outside vendors for almost every aspect of the wedding (catering, rentals, officiant etc) and she handled contact with them so well I barely had to do anything the month of. She really understood the vibe of my wedding and helped me pick and design a beautiful tablescape with the rental company. The day of my wedding I was able to fully enjoy every moment knowing Jen and her assistant had everything handled. Anything that came up, boom Jen was there to take care of it. Several guests after the wedding commented on how professional and efficient she was! I am so thankful I found lovely and got to work with Jen, she is truly amazing at what she does. -

Working with Kristen and her team at Lovely Event Planning was the best decision we made - there were a lot of things I didn’t know about the wedding planning process and we were having our wedding at a non-traditional venue which made it a bit more complicated than usual. Kristen made sure we were comfortable at every step of the process, and understood my vision right away. Because I knew that Kristen always had my vision and style in mind I could fully rely on her to make decisions with the other vendors without worrying at all. She was communicative, warm, and did an amazing job with everything. We couldn’t have done it without her and the team! -

Carly Sent on 08/21/2019Like having an extra me, but even better!
Hiring Kristen of Lovely Event Planning was hands down THE BEST decision of my entire wedding planning process. During my search for a day-of coordinator, I quickly found that many planners in the Hudson Valley with good experience where thousands of dollars above my price range and included a list of services a mile long, 9/10ths of which weren't things we needed. When I found Lovely Event Planning, Kristen quickly set up a phone call with me to discuss what I needed exactly, what I already had planned, and most importantly, the price range I was hoping to stay within. She was happy to customize a package for my needs within my budget, and I quickly signed the contract to work with her! So much was included in my contract for a very reasonable price, including unlimited communication (which she responded to promptly every. single. time.), recommendations for vendors I still needed, a tool kit that had the BEST task list, and literally everything that needed to be coordinated with other vendors month-of. She met with me twice in person before our wedding weekend to go into great detail about how the big day would go and she saved me from many meltdowns about not knowing what to do or how to assert what I really wanted! Every step of the way, I felt that Kristen's complete attention was on our wedding. Her passion for this industry - and more importantly, the couples she works with - is evident. The day of our wedding ran incredibly smoothly thanks to Kristen and her assistant Kacie; if anything went wrong, my husband and I had no clue. Our family and friends, and even a few of our vendors commented on how well run the wedding felt thanks to their coordination! I am a serious micromanager (hey, I know what I want!), and I felt the entire time that I could trust Kristen to do that job for me and even better. She coordinated everything from a surprise serenade from my husband to the arrival of vendors, and even the minor details of setting up photos and favors. On top of it all, she captured a bunch of videos and photos to have immediately so that we could remember how wonderful it all was the next day! Kristen is such a gem. She is sweet, funny, empathetic, professional, a great communicator, and has great connections in this industry. I can't say enough good things about Kristen and Lovely Event Planning, I can only thank them from the bottom of my heart for making our wedding an absolute dream! -

Emily Sent on 05/13/2019Fabulous Job!
I was married two weeks ago at the Rainbow Room in New York City and hired Jennifer Andaur of Lovely Events as my month of coordinator. At the time, I didn’t think I needed a coordinator. Now I truly have no idea what I would have done without Jen. She is everything a planner should be — detail-oriented and flawless. I didn’t have to worry about anything at all on our wedding day. Jen is an easy-going and kind person who helped to keep everyone calm, which was not always an easy task. I will be forever grateful for Jen and the team at Lovely Events for the incredible job they did and for their friendship. My suggestion for anyone who is considering getting a planner is to hire Jen the second you start planning. It will save you so much time, stress, and money in the long run because she is truly a pro! -

Lisa Sent on 03/19/2019So thankful for the Lovely team! They are the BEST!!
Words can hardly describe how grateful we are to have worked with Kristen and Jen for the last 2 and half months leading up to our wedding. They didn't have prior experience working in our venue, but none of that matters at all! They are pros at what they do and they will crush it no matter where you're getting married. They are the best planners I could have ever asked for and they constantly went above and beyond for us. Kristen was amazing talking me through timelines and logistics, as well as with helping us carry out our vision. She got to know us as people and that came through in everything she did. On the day of the wedding, Kristen and Jen were so on top of everything and they were always making sure Peter and I were all good. They even helped us set up our flowers in the ceremony space, which came out perfect! I can't imagine having anyone else by our side! They are the reason we had the most perfect day. Thank you both so much for all of your support, attention to detail, and passion for what you do! We are forever grateful! -

Wow. I have been trying to write this review for a few days now, but know what I write won't do justice to how amazing Kristen and Kacie where on our wedding day.
A little context: I planned about 80% of the wedding prior to realizing we would need a day of coordinator at our venue. We were married on a working apple orchard with a hard cider tasting room. Everything had to brought in, accounted for and planned. Every. Detail.
It took me months to find Kristen, and it was worth the wait. So many planners have "set pricing and packages". What I needed was unique since I had done so much prior to contacting the planner. Once I contacted Kristen, I knew I met my match.
I was transparent with our budget and what we needed, and Kristen made it work. I cannot thank her enough for her honesty, and transparency with what we could do with her assistance and how to supplement without breaking the bank. Ex: Hiring one of her assistants, Kacie to take over for her for during our after party.
Kacie, was a gem. She was SO attentive in making sure me and my husband had drinks and food, were happy, and things were moving smoothly.
Kristen, was the best investment we made during our wedding. If you are still reading this and are not sure if you should hire her, do it! No wedding size, venue, budget is out of her scope of business. I cannot stop ranting and raving about how you need to hire her. We both cannot imagine our day without her (and Kacie).
The best was the compliments from wedding guests at how smoothly the day went. Our wedding was different than nearly all others our guests had attended. Lots of moving parts, lots of traditions thrown out the window. Yet, it worked perfectly because she managed it.
Thank you for e v e r y t h i n g you did. xo -
Maria Sent on 09/01/2018The absolute best decision any bride and groom could make in the process of wedding planning. As a perfectionist and control freak, most of my family and friends were in awe at how calm and relaxed I was the day of our wedding and this was absolutely thanks to Kristen. From day one she makes you feel like a best friend or part of a family, she listens to all your visions and ideas and gives honest opinions and advice always to your best interest. Even through the end of her pregnancy and after having her beautiful baby girl, Kristen was constantly in contact with me to make sure everything was going well and I was doing okay with the final phase of the process, talk about professionalism to the max! Lovely Event Planning goes above and beyond to make sure you are happy and that your wedding goes exactly as you hoped and imagined. There are simply not enough words to express how grateful we are for Kristen and her team! XOXO

Diana Sent on 07/03/2018Jen is a visionary! As an event planner myself, I wanted to work with someone I could trust and who I knew would bring my dream wedding to life. I didn't want to worry about a thing and know that the person designing my wedding would think of all the "what ifs" and see the opportunities to make my wedding day that much more special. And Jen did just that!
Jen seamlessly (and what seemed like effortlessly) executed every detail to perfection. I felt as though I was working with a teammate, a friend, the entire time. From the minute we met I knew Jen would be able to find the common thread in my barrage of ideas and design the most beautiful, elegant, New York in Fall wedding (with just enough white but all the pops of color!).
Jen is a true partner and will give care to all of the things you deem important. She will go above and beyond and ensure every ball stays afloat. Jen isn't shy to share her expertise to help guide you to a decision (as we all know we brides think we know best) while staying respectful of opinions and desires. This is what you NEED in a planner.
Jen, I think I've said it a million times but THANK YOU. You're the best and I can't wait until we create some more magic together.
