Jenn was exactly what we needed to make our wedding perfect. We had our previous coordinator drop out last minute and within 3 weeks of our wedding Jenn took over all remaining tasks and communication with all of our vendors. We had a wedding of 190 people and everything was executed flawlessly thanks to Jenn. We highly recommend her!

Jenn is an incredible wedding coordinator. She helped support us to visualize the wedding we wanted and identified all the steps we needed to take to make it happen. The day of our wedding she ensured everything ran seamlessly. She made our families feel comfortable and made sure we stayed on schedule. Our other wedding vendors (photographer and DJ) really enjoyed working with Jenn and gave positive feedback. Jenn made our wedding a success and we couldn’t be more grateful. We would recommend her to everyone. If you want a true professional, go with Jenn. 10/10!

Jenn helped us with the month-of coordination of our Chinese wedding banquet after we had to postpone (the week of) due to COVID. Decor and set-up was a logistical challenge as the venue only allowed us one hour and there was a lot to be done - she and her team did a great job. She also provided supplemental florals for us as our original florist was a nightmare. Jenn was efficient, easy to communicate with, very responsive, kind and helpful, and a top professional. She catered to us through the night and guests commented on how they felt cared for - bringing lanterns to the kids. Great value and we could not imagine how we could have pulled it off without her help.

Jennifer is an awesome coordinator! I had a lot of mishaps that happened to my venue and she was able to be flexible with my vision and location. She also has great resources if you need anything you are missing like a photobooth vendor or great suggestions to your decorations. She is very communicative even when we live in the East Coast and is very flexible to meet via Zoom or in the Bay Area. I’d recommend her to any upcoming newlywed couple 😊

Jen was great! Helped me figure out some tricky logistics and set realistic expectations. I really appreciated her calm demeanor and no BS attitude. The actual event went so smooth and I know it’s because she was working continuously in the background. She went out of her way to ease my anxieties and performed above and beyond.

FAQs

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.
