Jefferson coordinated my wedding and he did an excellent job. When my guest list reached 200 someone informed me that a coordinator is the most important professional that I would hire for my wedding, and they weren't overstating.
In the month before the wedding, Jefferson and I had a few coffee pow wow sessions which really helped me refine my plans and ideas. I was quickly impressed with his organization skills. It freed me up to work on more fun and creative tasks, for which I am very grateful. He was very supportive of my ideas and gave extremely useful input.
The day of the wedding was an absolute dream thanks to his services. He handled innumerable tasks while I got ready and spent time with my wedding party. He kept everyone on schedule and working well. He was quick to pick up or delegate any task I suddenly remembered, all while staying totally calm and collected. Throughout the ceremony and reception he gave everyone the cues necessary to keep us all moving along and on schedule. This allowed me to just be in the moment and experience it, which was very important to me. I will always be grateful to him as he enabled me to live the dream day that I planned rather than get drowned in the details required to pull it off.

Jefferson was absolutely amazing for my wedding! We had just hired him for the day of coordination, but from the beginning to the end, he was so organized and helpful throughout the entire process. We met several times over coffee to go over details and scheduling for the evening. He was at the venue the entire day doing set up and stayed late for clean up. We had a guest list of 150 people for a backyard wedding, so it was very DIY, and everything had to be done by him that day, from set up to clean up, to coordinating with the DJ and photographers and caterers all night.
From the moment we first met with Jefferson, he was a fantastic fit for us. Very organized, but calm and collected. I never felt like I had to worry about anything on my wedding day because I knew Jefferson would take care of everything. He got along with all of our family and friends great, which made the wedding a breeze to get through all the events. I would 100% recommend Jefferson to be anyone's coordinator. He was super fantastic, and our wedding would not have turned out so great if he wasn't involved. I wish I could go back and re-live it, our wedding was absolutely perfect.

Jefferson made my wedding so much more amazing than I even expected! He kicked butt in dealing with my crazy family and using very limited time to get my entire ballroom decorated and wedding ready in two hours! I would recommend him for any event that you need coordinated. He is truly amazing!

I can't say enough amazing things about Jefferson!! I feel like he and I clicked and he totally knew what I was going for with the wedding. He is one of the sweetest people I have ever worked with and I'm actually pretty bummed that I don't get to corrispond with him anymore!
He helped coordinate our wedding at Edgefield in Troutdale with 175 people. It was a huge wedding and Jefferson was a saint to take on such a challenge. He did awesome and I couldn't have asked for a better guy to help. He did our announcements, music, clean up, and basically made sure everything ran smoothly. He was very available throughout the entire process and during the wedding day.
Our wedding day was one of the best days ever and Jefferson played a large role in that. We will miss you Jefferson!

FAQs
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Before you even commit to working with me, I want to meet with you to make sure we "click". I'll learn all about what you want, see if you need any help with any particular planning tasks, and may offer some tips that I know work well. After our initial meeting and when I've officially been hired (contract and deposit), I'll create a timeline for you to review and edit. We'll check in throughout the planning process (unlimited texts, phone calls, and emails!) and as the date gets closer, we'll finalize all plans. Then... it's wedding day! You'll party, I'll make sure everything that's supposed to happen does happen, and everyone will have fun!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a degree in Recreation management. Yes, that's a thing. And yes, it's relevant. Recreation Management at it's core is event planning. Through getting my degree and after I graduated, I've been able to plan events like weddings, conferences, large (250+) and small (10-12) parties, and fundraisers with over 450 attendees. The principles of event planning are the same, no matter the event. Weddings and nonprofit events are some of my favorite events to plan because they are so personal and impactful!
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
Make sure you and your coordinator "click". The relationship you have with your coordinator can really make or break your wedding. Don't hire a coordinator unless you feel comfortable with them. Being comfortable with them will open communication, which will be key on the day of the wedding!
