Planning a wedding while working two jobs felt impossible at times, but Jenn was the person who made everything feel manageable. From the planning process to the wedding day itself, she gave us the peace of mind to truly enjoy our wedding day because we knew we had someone in our corner.
From the moment we booked her, Jenn made the entire planning process feel so much less overwhelming. She helped with vendor communication, kept us organized, and made sure we stayed on top of what we needed to do on our end. On the wedding day, we were able to relax and enjoy ourselves because Jenn was there keeping things moving and stepping in whenever needed.
What impressed us most was how she handled unexpected situations. Jenn has an incredible ability to stay calm under pressure, take control when needed, and handle things behind the scenes so we could stay focused on enjoying our day. She made sure my husband and I were able to continue celebrating without getting pulled into unnecessary stress, and that meant so much to us.
Her team also handled our florals, and they turned out absolutely perfect! They brought our vision to life and made everything look even more beautiful than we imagined.
Beyond being organized and professional, Jenn is also so much fun to be around. Our family and friends loved her! She has the perfect mix of being fun, confident, and knowing when to step in and take charge. She keeps things moving, handles difficult moments, and truly makes you feel like you have someone looking out for you.
We’re so grateful for everything Jenn and her team did. We couldn’t have asked for a better coordinator and are so thankful she was part of our wedding day.

We found Jenn on Thumbtack while planning our spring 2026 wedding, and she stood out right away. We spoke with several coordinators, but Jenn was easily our favorite—responsive, warm, and a great listener. She immediately understood the kind of wedding we were going for (something more low-key and intentional, not a big production).
We had a few quick calls to align, and she met us in person at our site in the Fuchsia Dell in Golden Gate Park. She walked the space with us, asked thoughtful questions, and helped us land on the right setup. It felt collaborative and easy.
On the day of the wedding, Jenn and her assistant were punctual, communicative, and just incredibly on it. She texted first thing in the morning to check in, which I really appreciated. Throughout the day, she executed everything seamlessly—even very specific instructions (like how we wanted music handled) were followed perfectly.
What really stood out, though, were the small, thoughtful touches. Without being asked, she framed photos we had brought for a memorial table and arranged flowers beautifully when we handed them off. She made great judgment calls in the moment and clearly has strong instincts and emotional intelligence—she just “got” what we were going for.
The entire day flowed effortlessly, which is exactly what you hope for given how much goes into planning a wedding. Having someone who could both manage logistics and reflect back your vision so clearly was invaluable.
Jenn and her team also handled setup in the park, served wine to our guests, and even brought everything back to our apartment afterward, which made the whole experience feel incredibly supported from start to finish.
We would absolutely recommend Jenn and her team—especially if you’re looking for someone who is thoughtful, communicative, and truly aligned with your vision.

We had the pleasure of having Jenn as our coordinator for our wedding this past weekend. She was very responsive and involved far ahead of the big day. Planning a wedding can be nerve wracking and she has a calm and warm energy that made us feel supported and set us at ease. Her professionalism and skills as a coordinator made the day of seamless. Not only did she and her team execute the day perfectly - they also provided breathtaking florals and a ceremony backdrop that were even better than what we envisioned. Highly recommend Jenn for your next big event!

Jen was the absolute best weddingcoordinator. I could not imagine what I would have done without her! Handled every single task with ease, went above and beyond every step of the way, and is simply an amazing person. Hire her immediately 🔥🥇
We absolutely love Jenn ! She was the best decision we could have made for our wedding day! Jenn became our wedding best friend and our anchor and made us feel so confident and supported throughout the entire day. Jenn was always around to make sure we were hydrated, fed, the music played at the right time, the vibe was perfect and we both felt like we were the guests of honour on our wedding day. We highly recommend Jenn from Awe Planner to anyone wanting to have a stress free wedding.
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
We base our prices on the number of people expected to be involved in your event. We do not break down your price by hour, we do it this way to ensure that we have enough staff to set up your event flawlessly and in a timely manner.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We set up an inital meeting to discuss the planning needs, whether they are from start to finish, a little bit of help, or day of coordination, venue layout/design. From here it is getting you prepared for your event coordinating vendors, finalizing a day of timeline, and finalizing the venue design.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have open my own company for the past decade. Over that decade we have coordinated hundreds of weddings and events. My education started at the age of 18 and has grown to my own company. My education stems through the restaurant industry into private venues. My team has trained and worked in almost every style of venue.
