    Mother of the bride

    Jackie was fantastic! I can’t say enough great things about her. She was there for not only any questions my daughter had, but for me as well. She was always professional. She knew other vendors and was helpful with them. She kept us very organized especially the week leading up to the wedding. She sent us emails about our time line down to every last detail. I give her 5 stars across the board. We were very lucky to find her for the planning of our daughter ( and son in law’s) wedding. She went above and beyond our expectations. We really enjoyed getting to know her. She’s wonderful!

    Hire Jackie; she is THE best!

    We couldn’t have asked for a better team to help us plan our wedding!! Jackie is phenomenal! She’s easy to talk to and she truly listens to what your vision is for your day and she makes it a reality. She was incredibly helpful getting in touch with vendors and attending meetings to make sure everything came together beautifully. Any questions we had big or small, she was always a text away and quick to reply! We never worried about things not getting accomplished because Jackie had our back the entire time! She helped us coordinate the entire day and kept us on track throughout the process. Our wedding day was stress free and we had such an amazing time! Highly recommend hiring Smooth Tie the Knots for your wedding planner!

    Absolutely fantastic!

    We found Jackie through a family friend that did our flowers, who highly recommended her team. After working with them, we can understand why! Every question and concern we had, Jackie was able to answer right away. We truly could not have had our wedding day run so smoothly without the hard work of the Smooth Tie the Knots team! Everything was timely, and she kept us on a flexible schedule that worked with us.

    We Highly recommend Smooth Tie the Knots

    We have used Smooth Tie the Knots for both of our daughter's weddings 7 years apart. Jackie Raez and her team are excellent planners. They stayed on top of the calendar to make sure we were doing everything on time with our vendors and planning. She also worked very closely with our daughters to make sure they got the wedding they dreamed of. By hiring Jackie Raez, our stress levels were minimal because we knew she had the confidence and organizational skills to plan ahead, be on site before and during the wedding, organize our vendors, and make sure our personal touches like family photos, memory tables, etc were incorporated. She also is very easy to work with, respectful and professional. "Smooth Tie the Knots" is a fitting name and the best!! Chris & Trudy Burt

    Jackie is simply the best!

    Wow! Where do I even begin?! I met Jackie at a bridal show a year and a half before our wedding. I discovered pretty quickly I wanted to hire her given her years of experience and expertise of Lanier Islands where we were getting married! Even that far out, Jackie was periodically checking in, sending checklist and making sure we were “on track” with our planning process. We had several meetings, even one in person to enjoy a cup of coffee together! She was thorough and thoughtful. From our timeline, to connecting with our other vendors, to even just simply sending a text to see how I was holding up! I cannot recommend Jackie enough!
    Day of, we even had the pleasure of having Lisa as well! Between the two of them, I don’t think there was a single mishap & if there was, I wouldn’t know it!
    I can’t imagine our wedding without Jackie by our side throughout the whole planning process & even day of! If you’re on the fence about hiring a coordinator- do it! It’s worth every penny!!
    Thank you Jackie - you’ll forever hold a special place in Adam & I’s heart. You’re the best!!

    Amazing Experience!

    There are not enough words to describe how amazing Jackie and her team are. My husband, family, and I have nothing but great things to say about our experience working with Jackie. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect and would not have gone as smoothly without Jackie. From the start of working with Jackie months before the wedding, she was beyond helpful and gave me great tips and ideas to make the day go perfectly. With the little details she helped add, as well as the great advice she gave me from day one the day could not have gone better. I could have not asked for someone better to make this day flow as smoothly as it did. Not having to worry about the little details as I knew she had everything covered made the day way less stressful. I would recommend Jackie to anyone and everyone as she is very experienced and knowledgeable in everything she does!

    Smooth Tie the Knot

    Jackie and her team were great! They had worked with our venue (Ashton Gardens) before, so I felt good going into wedding day and it went well overall.

    Great experience

    Hiring Jackie and her team is one of the best decisions I’ve done for our wedding. She made sure everything is in place and on time. I did partial planning which means I initially spoke to and hired all of the vendors, and Jackie knows a lot of people in the industry if you need recommendations. Her warm personality also made me feel at ease, and a pleasure to work with. Definitely recommend!

    Jackie was amazing! She helped us plan everything and took so much of the stress out of the day. She was able to navigate lots of people and opinions very easily as well. We were very glad to have her!

    2/13/2023 best day ever

    Working with Jackie on my wedding day was the best decision I could’ve made. She helped the day run so effortlessly and made for a complete stress free day on my end. Jackie even worked along side with my venue coordinator from Ashton Gardens and it created such a good team. I couldn’t imagine my wedding day going as smoothly as it did without her there. She is so kind and truly feels more like a family member than a vendor.

    Fabulous Experience

    Jackie and her team are not only professional and very good at what they do, but they are a joy to work with. Jackie is so great at anticipating needs and communicating clearly to all vendors so that her couples' special day is seamless. I would recommend her to absolutely anyone who needed a planner!

    Amazing Coordination!

    Jackie and her team are phenomenal! We opted for Day-Of Coordination from Smooth Tie The Knot and were blown away but how helpful the team was from start to finish. Jackie met with us 4-5 times throughout our engagement to run through the details and make sure that she fully understood our vision so that she could execute it perfectly. She was responsive throughout the year and helped us make connections with other vendors she knows and trusts. All of the vendors that we used raved about how wonderful she is and how much couples love her work. On the wedding day, Jackie handled every single detail from the beginning of the day through our last guest leaving. She allowed us and our parents (which was very important to us) to enjoy the wedding as guests and made sure that we weren't handling anything more strenuous than a glass of champagne the entire day. If we had issues on our wedding day, I never knew because Jackie handled it all! I would absolutely recommend Smooth Tie the Knot Weddings for anyone looking to make their engagement and wedding day easier and more fun!

    Magical Wedding

    Jackie truly made everything possible. She provided great vendor recommendations, guided and comforted me through the whole process and handled everything the whole week and day of the wedding. Jackie understood what was important to me and helped me achieve my wedding vision. The day of the wedding, I didn’t lift a finger. Jackie and her team handled everything and were there to pin my dress when it was too long for dancing. I cannot recommend Jackie enough. She is exactly what my wedding needed.
    Thank you Jackie!

    Dream wedding coordinator for Lanier Islands wedding!

    Jackie helped me plan my dream wedding at Lanier islands in LESS THAN FOUR MONTHS! Jackie was such an amazing coordinator! She made my wedding day go so smoothly, I didn't even have to lift a finger! I got married at Lanier Islands, and Jackie already knew all the staff & layout of the islands.
    Any questions I had about Lanier Islands she was able to answer for me, from where to get ready, to what the best first look locations were, to the comfiest types of chairs! She is an absolute pro and will think of every detail so you don't have to. ALL of my vendors knew Jackie and were so excited I had chosen her. A few even gave me a discount for working with her because they knew their job was going to be a breeze with her running the show. Jackie went above in beyond in everyway, she even made sure the groom and I got food when we weren't able to eat at the reception! She accommodated every special request and helped talk me through decisions when I wasn't sure. Choose Jackie with smooth tie the knots to help you with your Lanier Islands dream wedding - you will NOT be disappointed!

    Anxiety Relieving

    We told Jackie exactly what our vibe was for the wedding and she made it all come true. We are a super busy couple with lots of family complications, multiple careers and entrepreneurs, plus we are also not very detail oriented when it comes to the knotty gritty. Jackie and her team turned our wants and dreams into a reality where we finally had a weekend that was all about us and to share it with the people we love without being overwhelmed. She’s absolutely amazing and a pleasure to work with!

    Jackie is the best

    Jackie was amazing! We had our wedding at Lake Lanier Islands and Jackie was one of the preferred vendors. She knew the staff very and was able to help us navigate the wedding preparation process. She helped answer many questions regarding the venue. She knew the main staff Dana and Ana who were super nice and helpful and answered all our concerns.

    An amazing day!

    As the mother of the bride, I was heavily involved with my daughter with planning her wedding. We meet Jackie Raez from Smooth Tie the Knot at one of Lake Lanier open houses and spoke with her then and then did a phone conversation with her and was very impressed with all her knowledge, so we hired her to help with every detail of the wedding. Jackie's knowledge and experience with all the wedding details was amazing! The relationship that she has with all the vendors made the planning so much easier for us. She has an excellent relationship with all the staff at Lake Lanier Island which made things go so smooth for us throughout the whole planning process, and the staff at Lake Lanier Island was a pleasure to work with especially Olivia the Catering Manager. Jackie also works with Pam at Design House of Flowers and I can't say enough on the job that she did from the florals to design Pam went above and beyond! If you are looking for someone to help you and be with you every step of the way Jackie is awesome! Our daughter's wedding day could not been any better!!

    Extraordinary Service and Professionalism

    Jackie, with Smooth Tie the Knots, is a consummate professional. Clearly, wedding planning and coordination is the job for her, because she knows every single detail that would be of importance to any bride. We started the wedding planning process without hiring a planner. Mid-way into the process, we realized that we wanted to ensure a smooth wedding day not just a smooth planning process. So, we hired Jackie, and we were exceptionally glad we did. Jackie is kind, thoughtful, and task/detail oriented. Jackie has had experience with countless weddings, and has a process by which she creates a timeline for a wedding but always considers what the bride and groom want. Every single portion of the ceremony and reception was perfect because of the amount of detail planned by Jackie. We surely could never have known all the intricacies of the wedding process without Jackie's help. Her assistants were also friendly, kind, and extremely helpful. Jackie has a working knowledge of Lanier Islands (the reception venue) so the day-of details flowed seamlessly as she worked with their team.

    I highly recommend Jackie and her team, and you should book her sooner rather than later.

    Efficiency and organization

    Jackie is fabulous! She was the wedding planner for my sons wedding this past weekend. During the past year, she worked so closely with my son and daughter-in-law. She took care of all of the small details and made the wedding planning process so smooth. She is also such a joy to work with. Jackie is always available and ready to handle any problem. I would highly recommend her to anyone.

    Amazing!!!!

    I cannot say enough positive words about Jackie! There is no way our wedding would have turned out as beautifully as it did without her! She is very organized, detail-oriented, personable, comforting, and responsive! She has worked with my venue (Lanier Islands) several times, so she was really able to help me understand their process. She helped me stay on top of everything and calmed me down when I needed it! When I approached her with a very challenging task (planning a wedding for 125 guests in 3 months), she immediately jumped in and helped me take it on! Highly recommend! 🥰
