    Day of Coordination

    We hired Otto Events for day-of coordination for our wedding, and it was hands-down one of the best decisions we made. Jenn brought a sense of calm, organization, and confidence that allowed us to fully enjoy our day without stress.

    The team was incredibly attentive, proactive, and detail-oriented. They made sure every vendor was on the same page, kept the timeline running smoothly, and handled unexpected hiccups before we even had a chance to notice them. Their communication leading up to the wedding was clear and reassuring, and on the actual day, they were everywhere they needed to be—always one step ahead.

    Because of Otto Events, we were able to relax, be present, and soak in every moment. Our families and wedding party also repeatedly commented on how seamless and well-coordinated everything felt.

    If you’re looking for a day-of coordinator who is professional, reliable, and truly committed to making your wedding perfect, Otto Events is the one. We can’t recommend them highly enough!

    Exceeded all our expectations!

    We got married in October and Jenn helped coordinate the most breathe taking day. We were so happy with how the day went and could not have done it without Jenn and Otto events!

    Day of wedding coordinator? Look no further!

    Jenn was so easy to work with! She saw my vision and helped me bring it to life on the day of my wedding! My wedding was very DYI! It took place at a Boy Scout camp on a lake, that I turned into the venue of my dreams. Jenn was always a phone call away whenever I had any questions. Working with her was like working with a family friend you’ve known for years. She’s down to earth, a realist, and good at what she does! If there was anything that went wrong on the day of my wedding, I don’t know about it! She was the point person for all my vendors so I was able to truly relax and enjoy my wedding day. A day that goes by faster than you could ever imagine. Highly recommend!

    Book jennifer!

    Jennifer was beyond amazing for our wedding weekend in VT. We chose just the weekend-of coordination, and it was perfect. Months ahead of the wedding, Jennifer was on top of everything and giving us important planning tips to get ahead of.

    The weekend of, Jennifer was a life saver. We had some issues with venue staff being ill, and Jen made the weekend go so smoothly and was always 3 steps ahead. She completed amazing decorating Friday night after leading the rehearsal and helping out with dinner, and then Saturday she was there handling everything.

    I feel so grateful to have had such a stress-free weekend because of Jen and her amazing planning. She is also so kind and fun, and made sure we were able to truly enjoy the magic of our weekend!

    Incredible Experience with Jenn at Otto Events

    I cannot recommend Jennifer at Otto Events enough after mine and my husband's experience during our wedding weekend. Throughout our entire time working with her, she was always responsive, thorough, detailed-oriented, honest, and most importantly supportive. She is incredibly experienced and confident in her work which shows from the initial meeting. She is also funny, kind, and such a pleasure to work with! Her presence and guidance made me feel so comforted during the entire weekend- I felt like I was talking to a friend I had known for years. She was truly the MVP of our wedding, and everyone in our wedding party and vendor list had nothing but positive feedback about her. If it weren't for her, the weekend would have not run nearly as smoothly as it did. My husband and I would highly recommend her to anyone and everyone who is considering hiring a wedding weekend coordinator in the New England area!

    She Handled Rain, Tractors, and Love Like a Pro

    Our non-traditional barn party wedding had everything—pouring rain, a surprise antique tractor gift, and a quirky timeline. Our planner navigated it all flawlessly.

    She helped me orchestrate the surprise reveal of a 1939 tractor for my wife (a total showstopper), kept us fed and on schedule, and brought warmth and reliability every step of the way. Rain or shine, surprise or snafu, she made the day feel effortless.

    More than just talented—she’s someone you genuinely want by your side.

    Excellent experience

    I am the mother of the bride, and our daughter and her fiance chose Jennifer to help plan a full "back yard" wedding on our property. From the very first meeting at our house, where she put us at ease about all the planning ahead of us, we were really grateful to have Jen's experience and vision. She helped us with everything from the tent rental and placement, tables and chairs, florist, catering, wait staff, place settings, bar set-up, bartender, etc. She was always available if we had a question or concern from that first meeting until the day of the wedding. She was invaluable at the rehearsal keeping us all moving in the right direction. On the day of the wedding, she handled so many details, both large and small. She took care of everyone, that included the bride and groom getting some time alone, elderly guests being comfortable, organizing the people who would give a speech during the reception, caterers/wait staff/photographers having time to eat, etc. And lastly, she did all this in a relaxed and positive way. We are so thankful for Jennifer and can highly recommend her!

    Jennifer brought our vision to life!

    From our very first call with Jennifer, we were instantly impressed by her easy-going nature and genuine enthusiasm. She made planning our wedding within just six months feel completely do-able, thanks to her expert guidance and support.

    Jennifer was open to all our ideas, whether it was about catering, flowers, or any unique touches we wanted to include. She took our vision and transformed it into reality, making our backyard wedding dream come to life. The intimate atmosphere she created was not only beautiful but incredibly memorable.

    On the day of the wedding, Jennifer truly shone. She was the most comforting and reassuring presence, ensuring everything ran smoothly. My husband and I felt completely at ease, able to let go of any control and simply enjoy the moment.

    If you’re looking for a wedding planner who is talented, dedicated, and a joy to work with, hiring Jennifer is the best decision you can make for your wedding. We can’t thank her enough for making our special day so perfect!

    Absolutely Amazing

    From the start, it was clear that Jennifer's goal was to put us at ease and ensure that we had the most amazing day possible. Our initial meeting with her was so much fun, and her excitement about our two-venue, multi-cultural, destination wedding in Maine made it clear that she would be a welcome sounding board for ideas and a confidant to whom we could direct our own aspirations and our mothers' oddest requests alike. Her deep experience with Maine weddings meant that she could quickly vet our lists of vendors, and made recommendations for those we forgot to research ahead of time. She helped us craft a comprehensive rain plan that we thankfully didn't need, but helped us remain relatively nerve-free in the days leading up to the big day. On the day of the wedding, she masterfully coordinated multiple vendors across two locations, getting us started on time and transitioning between the two venues seamlessly. She even helped the bride with a quick dress change between the cake cutting and the dancing! It would not be an exaggeration to say we owe our perfect wedding day to her--if there were any problems, we are still in the dark about them! If you are looking for a co-captain to command your wedding adventure, we truly cannot recommend her enough.

    Highly recommend!

    We used Jen for a backyard wedding and she was so helpful from the site visit to the end of the night. Very knowledgeable and provided great advice and insight leading up to the wedding. Worked great with all the vendors the day of the wedding so I didn’t have to think about anything. I was able to completely enjoy the day while Jen did all the hard work behind the scenes. Couldn’t recommend her more!

    10/10 highly recommend! Jenn is a must-have!

    My husband and I chose to have what some may call a “traditional wedding” with the ceremony taking place at a Catholic church. As you may know, this required us to enroll in pre-cana classes, and attend conferences with the priest, which needless to say, added more things to our already filled agenda to complete before the time of our wedding. When we began to feel the wave of anxiety due to our ever growing list, Jenn was able to put our minds at ease by making the wedding planning process more manageable. She did this by quickly creating lists and timelines, all while allowing us the freedom to plan the wedding that we desired. She kept us organized, thoughtfully reminded us of deadlines and was there to answer any questions along the way. When I would send a text, a phone call full of clarity and reason would soon follow. She gave us advice and suggestions along the way, making sure that we kept in mind our budget and vision.
    She is somebody my husband and I both felt fully confident in. If we didn’t know something (and we didn’t know much), we knew Jenn would steer us where we needed to be. Throughout the ceremony, Jenn came in clutch with not only ensuring everything went smoothly, but providing a calming presence when things seemed to not go according to plan.
    From the start of rehearsal to the end of the reception we were grateful to have Jenn by our side, providing guidance throughout the evening making sure we took time for ourselves to enjoy every last moment. She went as far as keeping us hydrated and fed to ensure we were able to enjoy ourselves throughout the night.
    We did take the route of having kids in our wedding. Thankfully, we had Jenn there to help support us to avoid any mishaps that come with making such a choice. During our rehearsal, Jenn provided the children with a motivational speech which included snacks for the kids if they were able to follow the rules of the church and make it through the entire ceremony without misbehaving. She was able to keep the children focused, and effectively redirect, support and say exactly what the children needed to hear to keep them on track (she did this with the adults as well). Both my husband and I are teachers, but Jenn has a special way with kids that not many others do. With that strength in mind, we have never found anyone else out there that possesses the perfect balance of strict yet kind, organized yet respectful. We received many compliments during and after our wedding about how well we were able to put our special day together. Although we cannot fathom taking much of the credit, Jenn was a major component in making our vision a reality.
    As many others have said “you can’t control everything and something will go wrong,” like the priest freestyling during the homily. No one could have prepared us for that, however, Jenn was able to ensure everything that we could control was managed seamlessly.
    As far as recommendations go, Jenn has some of the best vendors by her side. She recommended both our photographer and DJ, matching our style and vision to a T!! We couldn’t have been happier with our vendor team, they all went above and beyond to make sure that my husband’s and I’s needs were met beyond expectation. Without her guidance, references, management, and knowledge, this day would not have come to fruition the way it had.
    Thank you so much Otto Events! We are forever grateful.

    A perfect day

    Jen did a great job keeping us all organized and on track. We opted for the partial planning service for our wedding in Townsend, MA. Jen was flexible and provided guidance each step of the way. She also recommended our florist, who was awesome! And the bus company (who was also so great!)

    Supportive & Responsive

    Jennifer was a huge help on our big day. She is friendly, level-headed, and high-energy. We were deeply grateful to have her thoughtful guidance throughout the planning process. She was especially helpful with last minute vendor coordination / changes, as well as tracking down a caterer when we were struggling to find one in our price range.

    Helped make the wedding of our dreams

    My husband and I could not recommend Jennifer more highly! We had our wedding at my family's house in New Hampshire and so there were lots of logistics that needed to be figured out and managed. Jennifer was a superstar; she was calm, organized and helped make sure our wedding was amazing. She has so much experience and new how to make our vision happen. Highly recommend!

    Best decision of our wedding was hiring Jenn!

    Out of absolutely everything at our wedding, my husband and I agree the best decision we made was hiring Jenn as our day-of coordinator. Jenn is kind, funny, thoughtful, and thorough. She is the perfect combination of making sure you and your guests are happy and taken care of, as well as getting things done and putting people in place. I knew no matter what happened, everything would work out because Jenn was going to make it work. From implementing our rain plan, to running our rehearsal, getting me appetizers and drinks during photos, making sure my dress was bustled, checking on family members...she did it all flawlessly. Jenn was unanimously one of the most popular and talked about people at our wedding by all of our guests, letting us know how impressed they were with her and her work. Our wedding would not have been a success without Jenn-- it is as simple as that. If you are seeking a wedding planner for your wedding, you will not regret hiring Otto Events!

    Where to begin!

    Where to begin with Jen from Otto Events?! I can start by saying I could use a Jen in my life everyday... not just on our wedding day. We are eternally grateful for all of the help that Jen provided on our wedding day. We hired Jen to do our day of coordinating and thank goodness that we did! We created a timeline early on in the process and we did not miss a single mark the entire day. She made both my husband and I feel calm and excited about how the day was going to go. If any problems arose, we still to this day have no idea about them, because Jen handled everything in a calm manner with a smile on her face. She was attentive to not only us, but to details throughout the day at the venue, with our families, bridal party, etc. We HIGHLY recommend hiring Jen for any of your wedding planning/coordinating needs. I promise you that you will not regret it!

    You NEED Jen in your life!!!

    Jen absolutely CRUSHED IT as our Day-of-Coordinator! Without a doubt, worth every penny. Jen was extremely responsive, kind, and helpful in planning all of those last-minute details, as well as making sure our special day went exactly as planned. Jen is extremely experienced in her work and offered valuable advice, as well as dealing with all of those issues that come up, including moving to a ‘rain’ schedule and even being our ‘bartender’ when they didn’t show up LOL. Out of all of the vendors during our wedding, we received the most compliments and words of praise for Jen. She is incredibly kind and charismatic, while also being assertive and directive when need be. Jen goes above and beyond for her clients and my husband and I highly recommend her!

    Otto Events's reply:

    Thank you love, it was my absolute pleasure!
    I feel so honored to have been a part of your journey.
    All the good stuff to you two, always.

    Incredible Experience & Forever Grateful - Best Decision We've Ever Made!!!

    I cannot stress enough how helpful and amazing it was to work with Jen/Otto Events! Jen was always so reliable, responsive and made sure that we stayed on track throughout the entire wedding process. She routinely met with us, gave clear instructions/timelines, was more than willing to contact vendors for us, reviewed contracts from other vendor to make sure they were up to par, and SO MUCH more! She somehow made managing a million tasks and expectations seem effortless, especially on the big day! If you're a chronic overthinker/worrier looking for a wedding planner- look no further. Jen will ALWAYS have multiple backup plans in case ANYTHING doesn't work out. From start to finish, Jen was our rock and we are forever grateful!

    The best of the best. 10 Stars!

    Jennifer and her ability to control a crowd is unmatched. We worked with Jennifer for months leading up to our backyard and local farm wedding. As the bride, I had many difficult visions (local food, local vendors, and decorations that were unique, custom and personal for us). Jenn supported EVERY vision we had. She was in on a surprise that my husband was planning for me and helped him execute it well while keeping the surprise! She made sure I knew what I needed to know and helped me feel in control of the day, when really, she was the rockstar! Jennifer Fors is NOT A ROOKIE(!). She ensures that every vendor and guest are on the right track, within the timeline, all while making sure my groom, my family and I were fed, hydrated, and enjoying the special day.

    Jennifer is the best best possible planner you could ever consider hiring. Worth every penny. She is direct, and kind and also, aggressive (in the best possible way)!

    Jennifer has the right connections and knows where to direct the bride and groom to execute their vision. You cannot go wrong in hiring Jenn! If I could give 10 stars, I would. She worked so hard for us and I could not have expected anything more from her. She is THE BEST!

    Experience+Competence+Personality=Satisfaction Plus!

    This is a mother-of-the-bride perspective. Jenn worked with us on an outdoor wedding venue in which we used four settings and multiple vendors. She kept all of us focused as the bride and groom made their plans and chose vendors. Her experience with them really helped, and she knew all the important details to consider as they made their plans. Her calm, her contact as the wedding day approached, and her talent at getting every person and player in their place and having a good time too during the rehearsal and ceremony was incredible. She promised that the wedding party would have no worries during the whole wedding day and could just enjoy it, and that promise was kept 100 percent. She was a Godsend and a miracle to me--all I wanted was for the bride and groom to have their dream wedding day--and Jenn and her team were the element that made all the difference. She's flexible and smart and loves her work. I can't recommend her more highly.

    Jen (Otto Events) was such a wonderful wedding planner. She helped us through every step of the way, from finding a venue to the finishing touches to make the big day extra special. We could not have done this process without her. She is also just such a wonderful and kind person, and so much fun to work with. We would definitely recommend her to plan your next event.

    Otto Events is Fantastic!

    Jennifer is amazing! Our daughter’s outdoor wedding was at a private estate away from where we live. Jennifer is so knowledgeable and easy to work with. She helped us find most all of our vendors and they were all fantastic! From the caterer to the tent/rentals, florist, DJ, photographer, hair & makeup, each and everyone was perfect for what we were looking for! We especially loved working with Jennifer because of her down-to-earth personality and great sense of humor. When the big day finally arrived, we were able to relax and enjoy the day confident that Jennifer had all the details covered and that if anything unexpected were to come up, she would know just what to do – and she did! Thanks to Jennifer and Otto Events it was truly a perfect day!

    Exceed all expectations - would highly recommend

    What can I say, working with Jen was an amazing experience from start to finish. Not only was she extremely approachable and patient with us, she also had a ton of great ideas and was fun to work with through out the whole planning process. There was no problem or road block too big, as she consistently found solutions to any of our concerns.

    We planned a ~100 person wedding at a private home on the water, which required working with a number of vendors (rentals, tents, portable restrooms, and a number of caterers). On the day of our wedding she made sure that we always had food & drinks & water (it's was almost 90 with 80% humidity). She worked so hard at our wedding and we are so thankful to her and her team. Fantastic work 10 out of 10 - would recommend (and have) to friends, family, or colleagues.

    Amazing team - they truly saved the day

    Jennifer and Erin were absolutely incredible. Jenn helped us plan the event, and her experience in restaurant management truly saved the day. She recognized potential issues with our remote, rustic venue and offered expert staff to help supplement service, and she offered solutions to problems the venue did not anticipate such as how to process non-cash transactions with no wifi. Erin was present the day of our event and did more than we ever imagined. She set up all of the decor and signs, brought out the wedding cake, directed guests; she even got behind the bar and was serving drinks when they got backed up!! We lost power at one point, she glued me back together and had us back up and running in no time so everyone could dance the rest of the night away. I honestly don't know how we ever could have done this without them. Because of them, we were able to relax and enjoy the most beautiful day with family and friends. Don't give this a second though - hire them. This team is worth their weight in gold.

    Would highly recommend! Amazing experience

    Where do we begin!
    Hiring Jennifer as our day of wedding coordinator (8/21/21) may of been one of the best decisions we’ve ever made.
    A little back story. We got engaged in 2018, set a date at a venue for 10/2020 but that was the year of covid. We then postponed to 5/2021 but unfortunately had to postpone again to 8/2021. With our third date change we also decided to host at our home and cancel the venue.
    As we started planning and setting all the details for the big day we realized we needed a professional. Our florist recommended Jennifer. Not knowing if she had the time for us we reached out anyways to see if she could assist with the big day. Thankfully she was available.
    She not only was very easy to get along with but she was extremely professional and when I say she knew her stuff- that’s an understatement.
    The day before our wedding we had the rehearsal dinner planned at our home.
    The day before that we had MORE rain than we had seen all summer. Our yard was flooded and where the ceremony and reception was set up in our backyard, could not longer be used.
    Jennifer came to our rescue.
    She was very calm and came up with a back up plan immediately. Looking back on it the back up plan ended up being just as amazing. The ceremony was on our deck overlooking our guests who gathered by the pool and patio. Immediate family was present on the deck with us for a very intimate ceremony. It was just perfect- -all thanks to her!
    The day of she was at our home (while we were getting ready elsewhere) setting everything up and making sure vendors were staying on track.
    She assisted with the ceremony (helping my dad get me down the yard- under our deck- and up a flight of stairs). She assisted with our introductions (even cleaned up a beer spill).
    She was there to help with the cake cutting and making sure our family was present for photos. She also stayed into the evening where she ended up cleaning up a glass spill near the pool.
    (I’m sure there’s more I am forgetting)!
    When I say she did it all- she did it all.
    Jen we can’t believe how amazing you were through the entire process. We seriously couldn’t of had our wedding the way we did without you. We will forever be grateful.
    Thank you again front the bottom of our hearts.
    Chris and Gina Cutter

    Highly Recommend!

    If you’re thinking about hiring a wedding coordinator/planner - you should look into booking Otto Events now! Jen was amazing and we couldn’t have pulled off our dream wedding without her! My mom and I spoke with Jen on the phone for an initial consultation and she told us that something goes wrong at every wedding and with her there the day of - we won’t even have to know about it! We had a DIY type venue and Jen coordinated all the vendors and set up the day of which was a lot of work! Everyone from the photographer to guests commented on how great she was! I heard after the fact that our bartender, who works at the venue often, commented to my father the morning of the wedding that it didn’t look like we were ready for the wedding that day. But when Jen arrived a little while later she had everything whipped into shape somehow and it was beautiful and we were ready to start on time!
    She also helped run the rehearsal for us and walked through all the decorations the day before and I couldn’t be happier with our wedding day - it was perfect! Jen is very personable and fun to be around and I was so happy to have her as such a key part of our day! You won’t regret hiring Otto Events!

    Phenomenal experience with Jennifer!

    Hiring Jen as our day-of coordinator was hands down the best decision we made when planning our wedding! We were introduced to Jen by a close friend who had hired her to coordinate her wedding and I knew first-hand how great she was to deal with. Jen was very understanding and accommodating when we postponed our wedding a year due to COVID-19 and then expertly helped us navigate the difficulties of having a wedding during a pandemic. Despite us only hiring Jen as our day-of coordinator, she provided great advice in the final weeks leading up to the wedding and advocated for us when some of our vendors tried to make last minute changes. A few weeks prior to our wedding, Jen met us at our venue to do a walk-through and discuss the layout. She also talked us through how to create our day-of schedule and provided suggestions to ensure the day went smoothly. Jen was extremely communicative and responsive!

    The day before our wedding Jen met us at the venue a few hours before the rehearsal to do a final walk-through, discuss decor set-up and last minute logistics. Given there was a lot of rain the day before our wedding, Jen suggested we relocate our ceremony location to a pavilion onsite to avoid the muddy grass and it ended up having an even better view of the lake! Jen expertly managed our rehearsal and provided the much needed direction for our family and wedding party. 

    The day of our wedding, Jen was there to greet all of our vendors and let them know where to set up. We had an issue with a missing piece of equipment that was rented for our wedding and Jen worked with the caterer to troubleshoot and find a replacement piece, doing this all in the background so as not to stress us out. When the caterer started a small fire in the kitchen causing the fire alarm to go off during our reception, Jen jumped right in to identify the issue and spoke with the fire department when they arrived onsite. She even brought down our niece and nephew to get some photos on the fire truck! Even after the wedding day was over, Jen contacted the rental company to request a refund for the broken equipment, which we got as well as an additional discount for the hassle. 

    If you're looking for a wedding planner or day-of coordinator, you should definitely reach out to Jen! Our wedding was everything we imagined and would not have been as stress-free without her.

    The Best Wedding Ever

    Jenn was more than a wedding planner - she was a life saver! My daughter's wedding had a last minute snafu - after already suffering "Pandemic Issues" where we had to change the date, and ultimately, the venue, 3 times in a year! With 120 guests scheduled to arrive, two days before (due to torrential downpours that flooded my daughter's yard) what was to be a backyard wedding had to be switched to a "front yard/cul-de-sac event". (Oh, and I did I fail to mention? - Hurricane Henri was due to arrive the day AFTER the wedding!) Jenn was able to orchestrate everything right down to the littlest detail. Nothing seemed to phase her while the rest of us were losing our minds. Her professionalism, as well as cheerful and positive demeanor, helped all of us that day.
    Without her the wedding never would have happened. We are so grateful that she was recommended to us and we decided to hire her.
    Jenn and Otto Events are the best little wedding planning company in Central Mass!!!

    Jennifer went above and beyond!

    Our venue was very bare-bones and we had to bring everything in (tent, tables, bathrooms, etc.). There were many logistics to organize and Jennifer helped us to keep everything on track the day of our wedding. She had a number of calls with me leading up to the wedding to make sure that I didn't forget any of the details. She also helped me strategize how to keep things within our budget. On the day of the wedding, she kept everything on schedule, and when a huge thunderstorm rolled in in the evening, she went above and beyond to make sure things continued to run smoothly. If you need someone you can count on on the day of your wedding, look no further! Hire Jennifer.

    Absolutely Amazing

    Jennifer was completely on top of everything throughout the entire process, with her there there was virtually no stress to us. On the day of the wedding she made sure everyone knew where to be and how to get there, she made sure we had food the second we got to the reception and we can’t say thank you enough for everything. By the time everything is done you feel like you have known her forever.

    Phenomenal experience with Otto Events!

    My now husband and I hired Jennifer as our wedding planner after one preliminary phone call, during which she was already super helpful! Jennifer was extremely responsive, helpful and in-tune with our hopes for the big day - helping to make everything a reality, in just 6 months! We highly recommend hiring Jennifer for any and all wedding planning needs!

    Professional, Reliable, Supportive, and BEYOND Helpful!

    So appreciative to Jennifer and Erin for their support on my wedding day in September 2018! I contacted them within months of my wedding day after having very little success communicating with my venue coordinator. I was felt very overwhelmed with the amount of planning, questions, and concerns I had about my wedding day with no one to direct me. That is when I reached out to Jennifer at Otto Events. She not only calmed me down immediately but validated that I was not the only bride in this kind of situation so close to their wedding. She coordinated emails in a professional manner with my venue coordinator to make sure that I had the information I needed to feel comfortable moving forward in the wedding planning process. Jennifer was highly communicative with me, usually responding within hours of my calls/emails. She took the time out of her weekend to walk my wedding venue with me, support me with decor, and offer her ideas/suggestions based off of her experience in the restaurant business. Unfortunately, Jennifer was unavailable to be there for my rehearsal dinner and wedding day (which I had known going in) but her second in command, Erin, was just as accommodating, professional, and reliable. My wedding venue did not offer support with decor and was not willing to allow me access to my reception hall until 10 am the morning of my wedding. Erin came to my Air BNB the day before my wedding to review how I envisioned all my decor to look, she transported everything to my wedding venue the morning of the wedding, and she set up ALL of my decor TO PERFECTION. I couldn't have done it better myself!! Erin also ran my ceremony rehearsal, wedding ceremony coordination, and reception coordination. I am so thankful to Jennifer and Erin for all their support! I would not have been able to relax and enjoy the last few months of the wedding planning process, my rehearsal dinner, or my wedding day without them!!!

    Jenn and Otto Events made our wedding possible. From day one of the planning, Jenn was only a phone call away. She valued our opinions, but also offered her ideas that fit perfectly into our wedding day goals. Any stress disappeared on our wedding day with Jenn coordinating everything. My husband and I will be forever greatful for the magical day that she helped make a reality!

    Jennifer is INCREDIBLE. My husband and I both agree that other than choosing to marry each other, she was THE BEST decision we made regarding our wedding day. She met with us in person at our venue months prior to the wedding and made great suggestions on how we could do arrange everything on our big day that we ended up following. The day before the wedding she met us at the barn, directed us all through the rehearsal, and worked with us to finalize everything. She convinced the company we rented our tent from to come back the next day after they had already arrived because she knew the winds would be too strong to set up the tent when they came. They were also our vendor for chairs, so she ended up setting up the chairs and aisle decorations on her own the next day and made it look just how I imagined. She was on top of EVERYTHING that day, and every time I had a panic or looked anxious she was on top of it and guided me. I can't go on enough about how much she did for us to make our big day as stress free as possible, but what meant the most to me was how she handled my maid of honor who panicked before trying to surprise me with a speech and quickly became sick. She handled the situation gracefully and delicately, never made her feel bad, and helped take care of her. I could go on forever about how completely blown away we all were with Jennifer, but I'll summarize it with this...JUST BOOK HER NOW :-)

    Jen is fantastic! My husband and I used her for planning and day-of coordination. She did a wonderful job orchestrating not only the vendors, but all of our family and friends. Her personality is perfect for a wedding planner - warm, bubbly, bossy (in a great way) and detail oriented. I highly recommend her for your wedding. Book her, you won't regret it!

    Jennifer was absolutely amazing in every way! We had a an American-Vietnamese wedding which required tremendous planning, decorating, and coordination. Jennifer was there from the very beginning to help lay out the venue to best suit our wants and needs. We were able to practice numerous times for how everything would flow on the day before and day of. Nothing is perfect, and we definitely had our fair share of bumps along the way, but Jennifer was always there when we called upon her and gave nothing but the best advice and support (physically and emotionally). We made the right decision choosing Jennifer and thank her for all of her efforts and support!

    Jenn is a wedding genius. If you want a day-of coordinator that will make your wedding the most polished version of itself that you could ever dream of, look no further. From the beginning, Jenn was eager to talk with us about the details of our DIY barn wedding, and her input, and discovery of important things we overlooked, were invaluable to our planning process. We only became more impressed from there! Jenn had tons of good ideas about how to set up the ceremony during the wedding rehearsal. This was actually the moment Jenn became a Hero to us: the venue had considerable construction in the background of the spot we had originally planned for our ceremony, and we only saw the construction first hand a few days before the wedding. I'll be honest, it was sort of a disaster. Jenn had a great solution that involved rotating the seating into a beautiful nook of trees, arranging chairs in a semi-circle with no aisle, and spreading flower petals in a circle where we would stand. The result was more shaded, beautiful, and intimate than the original set up, even without construction. We were dealing with a professional. After the rehearsal, everyone in our families raved about Jenn's rare combination of niceness, sense of humor, competence and polite bossiness. And I mean all that in the best way possible, because this is exactly what you want in a day-of coordinator! We literally had people saying, "I wish I had someone like Jenn for my every day life!" Our wedding itself was the most beautiful day in the world, and despite it being DIY, Jenn made sure everything ran smoothly. With the help of servers, she set up tables and decorations, dealt with caterers, made sure the appetizers were plentiful and served, restocked water and lemonade, iced the wine bottles, controlled the flow of people through the venue at all the key moments, and much MUCH more. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect day and Jenn is to thank for that. We couldn't have done it without her!

    We hired Jen from Otto events to coordinate our wedding day at Peirce Farm at With Hill in Topsfield MA this past June and I can’t say enough good things about her. She was just amazing. The venue was so impressed with her that they are planning to add her to their list of recommended vendors as well. She was extremely professional, a great communicator, and handled everything that came her way. She helped with so much including setting up decorations, greeting and directing all vendors and guests, answering all questions so my husband and I didn’t have to be bombarded throughout the day, solving any issues that came up, resolving confusion with my DJ placement and meal setting, and my last minute (literally an hour before the ceremony) decision to move the ceremony outside because we had a break in the rain! Not only did she handle it all, she did so with extreme professionalism and grace. She knew how important my planned entrance was for us which required an outdoor ceremony and she made sure it happened. This was the most memorable aspect of our wedding and she helped pull it off despite the weather stress! She also improved on many of my set up and decoration ideas and ensured everything was as we discussed for the reception and ceremony! You can’t go wrong with Jen and I would highly recommend her to anyone!

    Jennifer did a fantastic job with our wedding! We interviewed 3 different planners and she was by far the most personable and knowledgeable. We decided to hire her for the "Day of" Services, were she hopped on board about a month before our wedding.Our personalities meshed right away and I found myself wanting to hug her and hang out with her!
    We had a small wedding at our home and she visited the property a couple of times. Made suggestions when I wanted it and was brutally honest with things that either wouldn't work or wasn't realistic-which I love. Her assistant was fantastic and she took care of absolutely everything the day of our wedding. Fun and professional- Kudos to you Otto Events!

    Jennifer was amazing! From her quick responses to any questions we had (either email or phone call) to her extreme attention to detail, we couldn't recommend anyone else to help plan your special day. She was professional and made our guests feel comfortable. Jennifer took the stress away from wedding planning with her fun and outgoing personality, which is truly a bonus. My husband and I can't say or thank her enough for all she did to make our day truly special!

    Jenn & her team made my wedding into my vision. From our first meeting I knew I needed Jenn on our team. We met her through a venue & hired her separately. She stayed in touch, kept me on task, & took over at the end! We emailed, talked on the phone, texted, & met before the wedding- she got my vision & it eased all my stress. She's also great at handling family & crazy vendors (without me even knowing) who drop the ball at the last minute! She's a bride's dream & bestfriend. On my wedding day she handled EVERYTHING (& also made sure I had my preferred wine). 100% book her!

    Our wedding went without a hitch thanks to Jennifer & Erin! As we chose more of a DIY venue, it was crucial for us to have a reliable, organized, and helpful person supporting us on the day of the wedding. Jennifer primarily started working with us the month before the day to understand the timeline and start coordinating with our vendors, but she was available before that as well when we had a few questions and needed her professional advice. Jennifer made sure that our day of coordinator, Erin, was fully versed in our plans and both Erin and Jennifer met us at our venue the Friday before to run through everything together.

    Erin was THE BEST! She worked with our florist and caterer to get the table decor set, ensured all our vendors knew where to go, and took care of all the last minute requests we threw her way. Even when things went wrong (tent company forgot to deliver a table), Erin found a way to make everything work without us even knowing there was a problem! My husband, our families, and I are so grateful to Erin for everything she did to make our wedding day perfect!

    We can't recommend Erin, Jennifer, and the rest of the Otto Events team enough!!

    Otto Events has gone above and beyond during the entire planning and execution of our recent wedding. Indeed, we had many, many requirements for our event, and it definitely was not your typical wedding. My new wife and I knew exactly from the beginning what we wanted for the ceremony and reception in terms of venue, food, entertainment and lots of other things. Jennifer is a true professional in the event planning business. On the "big day" she was able to provide everything that we expected, and carried it all out with flawless precision. We highly recommend Jennifer to anyone desiring to have nothing less than a first class wedding day. Thank you for everything Jennifer.

    Jennifer was easy to work with and executed our day of needs without any problems. She worked well with the other vendors and accommodated us throughout the evening. She made sure we were always taken care (bringing us food and drinks during the photo shoot/cocktail hour!)...along with our guests as well. Our wedding day was stress free in large part, due to Jennifer's attention to detail, positivity, and professionalism.

    Where do I even begin. Jen. Wow. Amazing, thoughtful, professional, hard working, hilarious, mind reader.. and those are Just a few adjectives I can describe about her. I could not be any happier with Otto events. Boy did they deliver. I reached out to Jen, last minute with a huge list for her to fulfill. She surpassed my expectations in every way. I was a complete bridezilla, freaking out, she even went out of her way to help me with my dress, met with me multiple times to go over what seemed at the time so important but now that I look back not so important but she made them feel important because she's awesome! She should have sent me a bill for her psychiatry hours she had to provide to me.. but wow, Her staff, simply amazing. They killed it. One stop shop. She set up everything for me, flowers, Dj, table rentals, catering.. just everything!
    Anthony and I cannot thank u enough for all you did for us. We highly recommend Jen and her staff, I promise you she will deliver your dream and even more!!

    Jen was an absolute pleasure to work with. As a very hands on bride, it was crucial that my wedding planner let me be me but also guide me in the right direction. Jennifer exceeded all of my expectations and helped me to create what was truly the best day of my life. If you're looking for someone who is knowledgeable in the industry, has much experience, and sincerely cares that your wedding day is all that you've imagined then she is the right choice for you! Throughout the past year of planning, we've grown so close. Wedding planning can be so stressful but she is ready for and can solve any issue leading up to and on the big day and her attention to detail was superb. I hope to work with her again for any future events and recommend her to anyone looking to have the most special wedding day!

    I can't say enough great things about her. We hired her for our DOC and she was flawless! She really pays close attention to detail, and is a real people person! She made all guests, and vendors feel comfortable! AND YOU GUYS- SHE COMES TO YOUR REHEARSAL TO DO A WALK THROUGH. Could you get anymore fully prepared than that? I actually felt like she was part of my bridal party! She was there for me and my girls, and had so much great energy!!!!! Love you, Jen!

    I'm not sure there are enough accolades to express how AMAZING Jennifer was as our wedding planner and day-of coordinator. From our very first meeting, Jenn exuded her huge spirit and passion for event planning. Every meeting after that, Jenn really talked with us and asked us so thoroughly what we were envisioning for this special day. She guided us through so many details that we didn't know anything about or hadn't considered; she was just full of ideas and knowledge. Then she knew exactly how to make it all happen - from her contacts and connections with key vendors, to her own creativity, to her wonderfully competent staff. She made herself always available, answering questions and making adjustments immediately, and was so responsive throughout all the planning, we really did feel like we were her only clients. For our 50 person wedding outdoors at our home, Jenn and her team's day-of coordination transformed the entire ceremony and reception into the most wonderfully special venue and incredibly managed day for us. Her presence that day was instilled with all the same spirit and passion that we saw when we first met Jenn - so much so - that most of our guests could not stop remarking about her abilities and contributions to such an amazing day. We found Otto Events right here on Weddingwire, having read previous reviews. We can only add ours to all the other heart-felt reviews, and say absolutely that working with Jenn could not be a better experience and entrusting her in planning any event so special as your wedding day, you will feel very fortunate and blessed to have Jenn working with you.

    Simply put, Jenn singlehandedly orchestrated the most special day of our lives. We held the ceremony and reception at our home, so there was more than the usual planning involved. Jenn had all the answers, from the best caterer, to the best photographer and florist - all on speed dial no less. She is not only extremely well connected in the business, she is also beloved. When Jenn calls, people listen. They all want to be part of a Jenn-driven event. In addition to her attention to detail, she approaches her work with the utmost passion (and sense of humor). She makes you feel that you are her only client and that your wedding is the only show in town. By the time you tie the knot, you will feel that you have made a new friend for life. All in all, we could not have asked for more.

    I hired Jennifer as my day-of coordinator for my wedding and she totally rocked it! I don't know what I would have done without her. With a 0-10% chance of rain for my outdoor wedding I (unwisely) decided to risk having the ceremony and dinner outside. Of course, it started raining 10 minutes before the ceremony was supposed to start. Jennifer was amazing and handled everything - including me freaking out. She was able to get all of the dinner tables and decorations indoors, and keep the ceremony as dry as possible. We were already on a tight schedule and with the rain delay I was worried that it was going to be really hectic. Jennifer managed to improvise and keep everything running smoothly. She set everything up beautifully, made sure vendors knew where to be and what to do, and ensured everything worked out. It was so nice to not have to worry about any of that! When wedding planning, she was very responsive to all of my questions, had a lot of great ideas and gave me peace of mind (which is really hard to do when you are planning a wedding!). Plus, she is just a super fun, energetic and friendly person. I would 100% recommend her!

    I couldn't begin to fully explain how much Jenn's knowledge, creativeness and professionalism impacted our wedding day. Her extreme attention to detail was what impressed me the most, she was always considering how it would look day of, how it would effect guests. The day of my wedding Jenn was irreplaceable, she really truly allowed me, my husband and my parents to enjoy our time and not worry about a thing. All of the crazy day of questions were directed to her, I did not deal with one problem or concern. To all newly engaged couples I HIGHLY recommend you consider otto events for your wedding, I PROMISE you won't regret it!

    Where do I begin...WOW! I honestly don't know what I would have done without Jennifer. From day one she really took the time to ask me the right questions to get a true understanding of what I had visioned for our special day. She not only kept me on budget, she would go out of her way to find ways to save me money when it came to everything! Anytime I had a question or concern she was there to assist day or night. My parents have absolutely fallen in love with Jenn and can't stop talking about how above and beyond she went when it came to EVERYTHING for my wedding!

    I will never forgot the moment my husband and I were introduced and walked in to the tent and saw that everything was not only exactly how I had envisioned it to look like, but even better! I was beyond blown away. It brought me to tears how perfectly beautiful every last detail was put together. She truly made our dreams come true!

    My husband and I would highly recommend Jenn's services to anyone planning a wedding and we look forward to hiring her again in the future for showers and other parties.

    I used Jennifer to pull together the last month of my wedding and my biggest regret is that I didn't have her from day one! My strong Irish catholic mother was very against having any help and she's apologized over and over ever since! My whole family fell in love with her. From the moment I met her all my anxiety about the day went away, we instantly hit it off and she didn't try to change my carefree wild attitude. She was very attentive but not overpowering and I truly think my wedding would've been a disaster without her. She brought things to my attention that I would've never thought of. I'm grateful that I found her and hope to use her again for other big events! Friends for life!

    Jennifer from Otto Events was my wedding planner for my farm house wedding in June of 2011. She was an amazing asset to have during my two years of planning all the way to the day of the event. Jennifer offered unique, budget friendly tasteful ideas and helped me establish strong relationships with my vendors. Jennifer does an amazing job at "dotting her T's and crossing her I's" It was comforting to know every detail was reviewed up until the day of our event. Wedding day was flawless! Jennifer was there from the first moment to the very last keeping a close watch on every detail to make sure the day ran perfect. From organizing family for pictures to touching up my make-up and busseling my dress, everything was turn key. I cannot thank Jennifer enough for the perfect day she helped us create!

    Jen from Otto Events was awesome! She was such a valuable resource when it came to wedding planning. She was responsive to my frequent questions and gave me a lot of good advice, all very promptly. On the day of our wedding she did everything to keep the day on track and organized; which made it effortless for my husband and I. She not only made absolutely sure everything was ready during the process, but if there were anything that could have potentially been an issue in our planning she took care of it before it would happen. I highly recommend Jen and am thankful she was part of our special day!

From our initial meeting to the end of our reception, Jenn was there every step of the way. With a contagiously upbeat personality Jenn truly loves what she does, my husband and I cannot imagine planning our wedding without her. Jenn is a great person, amazing planner and turned our dream wedding into a reality, we are forever grateful everything she has done for us!

    As the mother of the bride I found Jenn to be invaluable. We had been planning the wedding for over a year and became overwhelmed with all the details. Jenn was there to offer her support and her professionalism. There were so many details and questions that she brought to my attention that I would have never thought of. As everyone knows, weddings are very expensive. Jenn went through each line item and questioned them and saved my husband and I unnecessary expenditures. Jenn was there to advise on my daughter's wedding shower, and was in the forefront at the ceremony and reception to be sure it went off without a hitch. My daughter's wedding day was a beautiful stress-free day thanks to Jenn. I would recommend any mother of the bride to consider Otto Events by Jennifer Fors!

    Jenn is a pro

    We hired Jenn to be our day-of wedding coordinator, since we were doing an at-home wedding and felt pretty confident with handling the details until the actual event. Jenn was extremely involved throughout the process and contributed much more than just day-of service to our event. She gave us some great advice and recommended the tent company we ended up using for all our rentals, who were fantastic to work with. When it came time for the actual weekend, Jenn absolutely crushed our rehearsal and wedding. It was totally amazing to see her in her element. Despite it being June we had a cold, windy day that none of us expected, which threw several wrenches into the works the morning of the wedding. Jenn was there to help manage all the surprises extra early that morning: from putting up sidewalls on the tent, to literally putting out an expected small fire in the tent, Jenn was there by our sides fixing whatever came our way - to the point she hardly had a chance to get dressed! Throughout the rest of the day Jenn was there for us in countless ways. In addition to coordinating vendors, doing final decor setup, and making adjustments to the tent due to the wind, Jenn also walked me out to the field for our first look so she could personally hold my dress train and check my teeth before pictures. She was there to hold my beer, remind me not to spill berries on my white dress, and somehow tied a simple scarf in a very pretty way around my shoulders for the very chilly ceremony. She kept us totally on schedule and the event ran very smoothly, despite all the surprises from the weather. Throughout the day I had several people sidle up to me and say “Is that your coordinator? I think I’m in love with her.” One of my bridesmaids lamented not having someone as organized as her for her own wedding. Jenn made it incredibly easy to feel comfortable around her, and having her by my side throughout the day was like having both an event coordinator, professional maid of honor, and friend all in one. We are so grateful that we had her to coordinate our wedding - we would have been lost without her.

    We hired Jennifer for our wedding at The Rocks Estate in NH last month and she did a great job ensuring everything ran smoothly. We needed someone for our wedding day for piece of mind to be the point of contact for all of our vendors at a very have to do it all yourself type of venue. We had an amazing day that seemed to run seamlessly! Jennifer was very responsive and professional.

    Not a Great Experience

    Working with Otto Events was a fairly disappointing experience. The planner I worked with gave me a fair amount of attitude. The day of the wedding, the planner wasn't even there! She sent her assistant, who was completely clueless. The wedding went pretty well, but the assistant didn't really know what she was doing. Overall, if you're looking for a wedding planner, I wouldn't choose Otto Events.

    Otto Events's reply:


    Dear Anna,
    I can't begin to express my level of disappointment with your review of my company's services.
    When we met and signed your contract you knew from the very first meeting that I was obligated, by contract, to be at another wedding. You knew that my assistant, that has 10 years in the business would be there for your day of and that I would guide you throughout the entire process of planning. You signed your contract knowing that. I was at your beck and call, answered all your questions, even when asked in the very early hours of the morning, and without patience, left no question unanswered or detail not properly attended to. You were given the utmost attention, care and understanding of your vision and both Erin and I handled your day in an extremely professional manner and with the grace it took to execute it. If all of my work over the year we spent together wasn't sufficient for you then I'm not quite sure your needs would have ever been met by another individual as I worked tirelessly for you and gave you my best. I am extremely saddened that you chose the route of poorly reviewing our services instead of speaking to me directly but your negative feedback also serves it's purpose in my business. Thank you for the fuel to continue to work hard.
    I wish you both the best.
