    We could not have done it without her!!

    We hired Jenna as a day of coordinator for our wedding and we could not be happier with her service. She went above & beyond, helping us begin planning as far as a month out! She was extremely organized & provided awesome recommendations and advice. We could not have done it without her!!

    AMAZING life savers!

    We hired UBD for wedding planning for our large 250+ person wedding! Julianne was fabulous to work with!! Wow. She managed everything so nicely. She was my go to for EVERYTHING. Julianne handled communicating with all our vendors making sure everyone knew what time and where they were needed. The morning of she came and checked on me & my bridesmaids as well as my husband and his groomsmen. Our transportation was late due to traffic. Julianne was on the ball making calls with the trolley then calling the church to update them about us being late. I never worried once, my bridesmaid later said to me "wow you handled that so well." It was because I didn't have...

    Highly competent, punctual, and organized wedding planner.

    My wife Lauren and I used Unique By Design for our wedding in June of 2022, and we could not have been any happier with Jenna's attention to detail, competence, promptness, and professionalism.

    When we met with Jenna during the planning process she put our minds at ease by explaining exactly how things would unfold, and she impressed us as being very confident and calm.

    When the day of the wedding arrived Jenna made sure that everything unfolded as exactly as she had forecasted, and she kept everyone and everything on schedule, which sounds much easier than it was.

    Many aspects of our wedding were as successful as they were thanks to Jenna, and we would highly recommend her to anyone just beginning the process of planning their own big day.

    Jenna is the best in the business!

    Jenna is exactly the kind of person you want on your team as you are planning a wedding! She is absolutely brilliant at what she does and she is a true blessing to us. We hired her for the full wedding planning package and we are so grateful we did! My biggest recommendation is to not only hire Jenna but to hire her early in the process. Because we did this, we were able to utilize her expertise to help us to choose vendors that not only fit our vision but also our budget! She is absolutely worth every single penny, as I felt confident we made up for the cost in the conscious decisions she helped us make...

    Best Central PA Wedding Planner in the biz!

    Jenna was so instrumental in helping me feel at ease during the final planning stages of our wedding and was also key in making everything run so smoothly on the day of. I am so happy I had her expertise to run through the list of everything that needed to be done leading up to the last 3 months - I would have surely forgot something. And it was amazing having her take over communication between the vendors - such a stress reliever!! Our day was absolutely beautiful and perfect in every way and we cannot thank Jenna enough!!!

    Must Have Team!!

    Jenna and Julianne are an incredible team that made my wedding the perfect day that it was! We hired them for day of coordination which is really month of coordination. Jenna made sure to get down all of our details and truly understand our vision for the big day. She helped out with my last minute vendor changes and rolled with all of the changes we had to make because of COVID. We honestly wish we had hired Unique by Design for our entire wedding planning process. Julianne was more of our point of contact during the event itself. She was there to make sure I was bustled correctly and to escort my husband and I through the different...

    Absolutely wonderful wedding coordinator!

    I cannot say enough good things about Jenna and her team. Our wedding weekend was everything we had hoped for even though a few things did not go our way. Jenna took care of every tiny detail and gave me suggestions on changing things I had not even thought of and then loved even more than my original plan. She was very responsive leading up to the wedding and we were so relieved to have her run the show. We loved every second of our wedding and a lot of that was thanks to Jenna and her amazing team!

    Absolutely wonderful team!

    We are so grateful to have had Jenna and her team’s assistance with designing and day of management for our November 2021 wedding. Jenna eased our stress and anxieties about the wedding throughout the process. Jenna was able to take a blank slate and come up with a stunning design for the space in one planning meeting and made design suggestions that we now can't imagine our wedding day without. On the day of, Julianne and Lydia and went above and beyond to make sure the day ran smoothly and that everything/everyone was taken care of. Julianne and Lydia executed Jenna’s design plans wonderfully. Our ceremony and reception space were more beautiful than we could have ever imagined! We...

    We couldn't do it without UBD!

    We hired Jenna for our wedding in September of 2021. Even though we hired her as a 'day-of' coordinator, Jenna provided us with a great deal of support, recommendations, insight, and answers throughout the entire wedding process. Jenna was always there to answer any questions we had about logistics and planning and she was able to provide recommendations of other vendors and ways to structure our day. As the big day approached, Jenna played an even larger role in the planning process including creating our day-of timeline and seating arrangement, reaching out to all the vendors in the week leading up, and attending the walkthrough and rehearsal. During the walkthrough, we described to Jenna how we wanted our decorations...

    Professional and perfect

    There isn’t enough praise I could give to Jenna and her team. She is professional and kind and she will do her best to make sure your wedding is perfect! I was a summer 2020 bride that had to postpone due to the pandemic to summer of 2021. In a very stressful and uncertain time she remained calm and optimistic and I knew I was in good hands. She was always available to me from the day I hired her as my coordinator to even days after my wedding. She was there to run the rehearsal the day before the wedding and made everything seem so effortless! She took care of contacting and coordinating with all my vendors so...

    Breathtaking, magical & family oriented

    Joey and I want to thank Jenna for all the time and effort into putting together our magical wedding. It was everything I ever dreamed it would be. When I first met Jenna I felt a huge connection and knew this would be a continuing friendship for us and know I wanted her help in coordinating our wedding. She had the best ideas and made me super comfortable in ever meeting we had together. I was less stressed during the build up to Joey and I’s wedding knowing she had everything under control. Joey and I found out we were expecting a sweet baby boy during this process and I had to move our wedding up to a sooner...

    Thank goodness for UBD!

    TLDR - Jenna and Julianna are amazing. If you have any doubts about a wedding planner/day of planner - take the leap - you will not regret partnering with UBD. Multiple times in the lead-up to "the BIG DAY," something would happen and I'd be like "THANK GOODNESS for Jenna." On the wedding day, it was a similar chorus:  "THANK GOODNESS" for Julianne!" There's no way we could have *smoothly*  pulled off our day without the UBD team.

     The moment that Jenna responded to my inquiry for a day of wedding manager, I felt my stress subside, thanks to her speedy and thoughtful response. She had read between the lines and was ready to help.From that day onward, Jenna and Julianne...

    The Perfect Coordinator for Your Special Day!

    Jenna was very helpful from the first meeting we had with her! She asked us a lot of questions and brought up ideas and simple wedding details we had not previously thought of considering! She was very quick to respond to any questions or concerns we had via email and phone. Jenna helped us face the challenges of COVID-19 and helped us create another plan. We would not have been able to reschedule our wedding for a date 3 months later without her help! Our wedding day was perfect!

    Wedding 9/13/20

    Our initial visit with Jenna was wonderful! She has a terrific personality. She discussed many details with us and thought of things we hadn't thought of before. She made a stressful event much less stressful by keeping everything on track and steered us away from any ideas we had which could have caused serious problems and stress on wedding day. We would not have made it through this 2020 wedding without Jenna! When the May wedding plans were interrupted by COVID-19 Jenna stepped in and guided us though the difficult decision of rescheduling the wedding until September. Jenna helped us with every detail of my daughter's wedding and in spite of having a family medical emergency she answered any...

    Exceeds expectations!

    Jenna and her team at UBD coordinated our wedding that took place on 9/26/2020. Although we had over two years to plan our wedding, the process can be overwhelming and stressful, especially when working a full-time job. Jenna made every step of the process comforting and stress free!

    I met Jenna a little over a year ago at Heritage Restored's Open House (the venue where our wedding took place). Although I was checking out other businesses that offered similar services, something just clicked that I had to have Jenna be the one to assist us through the wedding planning process. Jenna has a very fun, caring, and personable touch that leaves you feeling confident that she will...

    Best Wedding Planner EVER

    Jenna and her team went above and beyond in helping us plan our wedding! Our wedding day would not have been as amazing and flawless without their help. Due to covid and new state restrictions, we had to replan our wedding four weeks out from our wedding date. As stressful as it was, Jenna handled everything for us! She literally planned an outdoor wedding in 30 days! It involved hiring several new vendors and coordinating all of the details with them. She was also always available to text or FaceTime despite going through a scary family emergency. Any time we had a wedding thought or concern, or were in panic mode, she was there for us and always assured...

    Unique by Design should be at the top of your list!

    Jenna's team of Julianne and Maddie were absolutely wonderful to work with at my son's wedding. They were very professional and took care of everything so that the bride and parents could enjoy the events of the day. I don't know what we would have done without them. They were wonderful and it was money very well spent. I would highly recommend UBD! They are outstanding!

    Having UBD on your vendor team is a must!!

    Jenna and her team were a breeze to work with and helped ease the stress of my wedding day! I chose to have Unique by Design provide day of coordination for my wedding. Jenna was available from the start to help with any questions I had about how the wedding day would be laid out. Jenna offered support even through a family crisis she was having, which spoke volumes of her dedication to her business and the couples she serves! We had to change our venue due to Covid-19, and Jenna was so helpful and flexible through the process. She offered lots of insight and helped us make the best decision for our situation.

    ZERO stress on my wedding day because of UBD

    Look no further! Jenna and her team at UBD are the best in the business. Jenna was suggested to us by my aunt after they met at a bridal show. We reached out to her and immediately I knew she was going to be a perfect fit for our day. Jenna agreed to do our wedding even though she was going to be 7 months pregnant. We hired her for "day of coordination" but this title doesn't even begin to describe what she did for us. A better representation would be "month of coordination." About a month leading up to the wedding, Jenna reached out to all of our vendors and was able to get everyone on the same...

    Partial Planning in under 6 months!!

    Jenna (Unique By Design) was amazing to work with. I met with Jenna initially after a recommendation from my fiancé family; honestly going into that meeting I wasn’t sure if a wedding planner was for me, while I have no experience with weddings (my last one I had even been to was 15years ago) I figured I would approach it like I approached everything in life with research, planning and stress; lots of stress. Why would I not hire someone knowing they could iron out the details and guide me.. well my wedding day needed to be special and I needed to be surrounded with people I could not only trust and depend on but relax around. I highly...

    Amazing and Friendly!

    Jenna was simply amazing. My (now) husband and I booked Unique by Design in winter of 2018 and got married in November of 2019 as our day-of coordinator. From the time we booked her, to the actual day of the wedding, Jenna made sure that our day would be special. She is beyond knowledgeable of the general events of a wedding day, which might not seem like it's huge thing to remember, but it made so much difference when trying to plan out our schedule. She anticipated any issue that might arise, and she didn't waste time correcting, or doing the work ahead of time so that it didn't interfere with the day. In fact, our baker forgot to...

    I hadn’t even thought about hiring a day of coordinator until I heard Jenna speak at a food tasting event I was at. Her presence was so calming and I immediately told my fiancé that I think we needed to hire her for our wedding. We had several calls before the big day so she can ensure she got every detail right. Leading up to the wedding, she had emailed all of the other vendors to get their arrival times and to make sure everyone was on the same page. Coordinating with vendors is one of the most stressful parts of wedding planning and Jenna was there to completely handle that! On the wedding day, she was there to...

    The perfect choice

    We loved to work with Jenna! She was very calm when the stress of the day was getting to us, and helped us enjoy the Big Day by working tirelessly behind the scenes and letting us enjoy our celebration almost like guests. Jenna is easy to talk to and very organised; she got the plans on the first round of discussions and could easily improve or change as we came closer to the event - making sure that everything she coordinated was either exactly as we wanted it - or better! Only wish we have would be to have her for the full wedding planning package - we only had the day coordination and we now think she could have done a better job than we did for the planning and staying in budget :-)

    A Truly Talented Wedding and Event Coordinator

    Hiring Jenna was one of the best decisions we made during our wedding planning process! Her professionalism, attention to detail, organizational skills, and talent in her field are truly admirable. Her relationships with local vendors are also beneficial, and she was easily able to provide recommendations when needed. We hired Jenna for day-of coordination services, but she was always more than happy to provide guidance and answer any questions we encountered during the wedding planning process. When impending bad weather on our wedding day caused us to alter our initial dinner and reception plans, Jenna was able to successfully troubleshoot the issue and modify the venue space to host our guests inside without compromising on aesthetic. She allowed for...

    Best decision of my entire wedding!

    Jenna was the day of coordinator for my wedding on 6/1/19 and I truly owe the entire day to her! Everything went flawlessly and I didn’t have to worry about a single thing that day. She was punctual, professional, and so incredibly organized. I knew from the moment I met her that me wedding day was in perfect hands. From working with all of my vendors, to helping me advocate for myself when plans changed with our venue, she was a huge part of our day and I cannot thank her enough. If you are looking for a wedding planner or day of coordinator, you simply cannot do better than Jenna!
