WOWOWOW! Only the nicest things to say about Jojo from SFE and her company. If you're looking to hire a wedding planner turned confidant, turned friend, you HAVE to hire SFE!

We had a whole process and criteria when looking for the perfect planner and we were so excited after finding Jojo. From the get go, she was warm, welcoming, professional and attentive. Her presence didn't just come across as a planner handling the most important day of our lives; but more so, a friend who truly cared about us as a couple and as individuals to fully carry out all the fine details and things we felt were most important to us.

There is so much to say about how much we love Jojo. Because of my type A personality, Jojo was able to handle me as a person and as a bride. She was attentive to all my questions and ideas and was organized with every thought I blurted out to her. She was more than just responsive, she was AVAILABLE; anytime I thought of something or an issue would arise, I literally would either shoot her a text or give her a call and boom, problem solved. She captured our vision entirely; from the online website invitation, to the table numbers, to the musician selection, flowers and more! She thought of EVERYTHING and made it all happen in this crazy year we call 2020.

WE DID IT ALL DURING COVID! We are so proud to have thrown a successfully safe wedding during this uncertain time. We collectively thought of all the details, from individually wrapped masks, to hand sanitizing stations, to single use pens (for Photobooth), to individually packaged food items (to eliminate service contact), and separating tables and seats by households more than 8 feet apart. AND she made it all happen in the span of 2 months! When we finally made the decision to pull through with a wedding in 2020, we set the date and left it to Jojo to plan a safe, beautifully creative wedding in only 2 months time. She handled moving all our contracts with all of our vendors (some whom we kept and some whom we had to let go). She coordinated all of our zoom video meetings and even surprised us with a table mock-up at the end with our florist!

If you're looking for a planner who will create the wedding of your dreams and turn it into your reality, Jojo from SFE is the way to go. 15/10 would recommend and 1000% would work with her again for any future events.

Jojo and her team at SFE wowed us and exceeded expectations!! With a guestlist of almost 200 and a venue as large as Union Station (LA), this team was able to execute the wedding of our dreams!

Jojo was easy to communicate with and was extremely flexible by meeting with us at different times and places based on our very busy schedule. The team was able to gather all of our vendors, from food to decor to entertainment, hair and make-up, and more in a way that kept the organizing stress off our plate.

Her design ideas and attention to detail truly made our day special. She was able to accurately curate details that reflected our personalities and our relationship. I was so happy with how SFE worked with those in the bridal party and gave special attention to those we deemed VIPs.

Thank you so much, Jojo and SFE, for giving us the most beautiful wedding we could imagine. Our guests, even months after, are still talking about how much fun they had that day and night and it's all thanks to you and your team!

My husband and I got married in June of this year and seriously could not have gotten through the weekend without SixteenFourteen Events! As you can tell this review is long overdue.

We were referred to SFE by our DJ Raffy from Bilo Events. From the first meeting with founder Jojo we knew that this would be the perfect partnership - my husband and I didn't begin inquiring for a coordinator until about 6 weeks before the wedding but SFE delivered! Jojo worked with us and our budget and we couldn't be happier with being matched with Xala for our wedding. Throughout the next few weeks after signing our contract, we had a couple of planning calls via Google Meet and a final run through with vendors, but Xala was always available via text/email/phone call. Planning felt seamless!

Now for the main event - Xala and Michelle (assistant to Xala for the wedding): I probably would have died without them!!! They were onsite for the rehearsal which was quick and as easy as could be when you consider having to guide your family. On the wedding day I forgot something major in my rental order and Xala and Michelle worked their butts off most of the morning to solve it - when they say things go wrong please believe it! But they made sure all I had to worry about was getting ready. With getting married in Indio in June, SFE dealt with family woes, forgotten rentals, set up, vendor struggles etc all while in 100+ degree heat. Xala and Michelle are true rockstars - you NEED to hire SFE for your next event!

Even though we only knew each other for a few weeks, I truly felt like Xala became family and she understood all of the stress, excitement and all the other million feelings you go through when planning an event as huge and personal as a wedding. Xala's work ethic and personality helped us easily build a lot of trust with her and SFE. Her communication with not only us but the vendors and family/friends at the rehearsal, wedding, and post wedding was impeccable. Last but not least, we threw several curveballs and last minute changes (as any bride and groom would, regrettably) however Xala was more than willing to roll with the punches, deliver on all of our requests, and exceeded our expectations. I'm so happy to have had her and Michelle that day - they made it so that my husband and I could enjoy the most important day of our lives. 12/10 recommend !!!!!! We luv u Xala <3

Cannot recommend Jojo enough! I own Tayler Ashley Photography and had the pleasure of photographing a wedding that Jojo designed and coordinated. She is an angel to work with and her design skills are insane. SixteenFourteen Events is the way to go!!

My wife and I recently worked with Jojo and SixteenFourteen Events for our wedding in Orange County. She helped design and coordinate the wedding. She was amazing at listening to us and coming up with creative ideas for our limited budget. We were a demanding couple but Jojo talked to us almost everyday leading up to the wedding and helped iron out any wrinkles. We could not have had such and amazing wedding without her and her fantastic team.

I had a great time working with Jojo!

She was so helpful while I created the makeup and hair schedule for a wedding we worked together. She was always on top of emails and calls- it made creating a schedule for the party so much easier! She even stopped by the morning of to say hello and check in with all of us.

Having an amazing wedding planner makes EVERYTHING so much easier. Better yet, having a planner that you can VIBE with makes everything so much easier and Jojo, is definitely that.

Working with Jojo & her team at SixteenFourteen Events at The Unique Space was such a joy. Jojo is incredibly attentive, warm and a great problem solver.

You can tell that her clients really love her, which is key in this business. The wedding itself was gorgeous and went off without a hitch.

As the catering company we were working in tandem for months leading up to the Big Day and the collaboration was organic and smooth.

We look forward to working with Jojo again and can't recommend her enough!

I don’t even know where to begin. Jojo, Michelle and Tesia really went above and beyond to ensure a FLAWLESS outcome of our wedding! From the meticulous details to the weekly update meetings, they covered every single one of their bases. They thought of things I didn’t even think of that would be essential to planning. They truly exceeded all our expectations. The wedding day and events leading up to it went so smoothly. I didn’t feel an ounce of stress on the day of the wedding. I can’t put into words how grateful I am for this whole team. It’s truly amazing to know such wonderful people who are not only well organized but so so kind. Throughout the entire day of the wedding they were constantly checking on my husband and me, making sure we were doing well and enjoying ourselves. They didn’t allow us to lift a finger and did everything for us. Even at the end of the night on the wedding day, they personally brought the rest of our belongings to the hotel we were staying at at 2 am! I will never be more grateful for an incredible team, I truly am in awe at how well they planned everything out and the constant communication we had. I highly HIGHLY recommend everyone planning a wedding to hire them if they want a flawless, seamless execution of their dreams. I will never be able to express how truly grateful I am for them.
