Words can not explain how AMAZING Jeanne is!!!!! We hired her because one of my best friends used her for her wedding in 2020/2021 so I already knew how amazing she was. We are so so so HAPPY we had Jeanne there through every step of the wedding planning process & the wedding day. She is a extremely knowledgeable, knows the area & vendors, organized, and is a true FRIEND throughout the entire process. She listened to us and matched us with the MOST AMAZING VENDORS!!! I would talk to her via email or video chat every week. Our wedding was in October at LBI National and it was absolutely PERFECT! I was the most carefree & relaxed bride because I knew Jeanne had our backs. If you are even thinking about hiring a wedding planner.. Jeanne is the ONLY option! We can't thank her enough for everything she did for us! She helped us bring our vision to life and our wedding was a true fairytale!

Jeanne was integral to our wedding; we could not have done it without her. Our reception took place at the LBI Foundation, and we knew that we needed to bring on a planner to help with all of the logistics of a DIY venue. Hiring Jeanne was the best decision we made throughout the wedding planning process. Jeanne helped us in many ways, from the countless planning calls and emails to coordinating rentals, shuttle schedules, etc., and, most importantly, making us feel calm on our wedding day. We are sad the wedding is over because we don't have an excuse to talk to Jeanne regularly! If you're thinking about hiring Jeanne and her team, just do it; you will absolutely not regret it. Thank you, Jeanne! We love you!

Jeanne was hands-down the most pivotal and crucial piece of our June 2024 wedding! We hired Jeanne as a full wedding planner and it was the best decision we've ever made. For over a year of planning, between countless emails, videos calls and in-person meetings, Jeanne helped us every step of the way and we could not have done this without her. We had a very unique (and difficult!) vision for our wedding, turning a marina parking lot into a tented wedding venue, but Jeanne's incredible experience and ample connections throughout LBI is what brought it all to life. The planning came with a lot of challenges given the non-traditional nature of the venue we chose, but she was outstanding in handling everything and allowing us to experience limited stress during planning and 0 stress on the day of. We truly could not recommend her enough to anyone looking to plan a wedding in the area. Seriously - you will not regret it !! Thank you x10000, Jeanne! We are eternally grateful for bringing our dream wedding to life. xoxoxo

Jeanne and her crew are absolutely fantastic. Not only were they excellent at wedding planning and very professional, but they were so enjoyable to work with. I will be keeping in touch with Jeanne even after our wedding is over because she is such a gem and became a true friend of mine! Look no further for any and all events that need planning.

Where to even begin!!! Jeanne was an absolute lifesaver, the perfect third-wheel to our wedding planning and truly the best planner I have ever worked with both personally and professionally (I am a corporate event planner for context). We truly do not think we could have gotten through wedding planning without her guidance. Jeanne was the first vendor we booked after getting engaged and was an absolute ROCK to us throughout the planning process. She was eager to help, meet whenever we felt like we needed to or had questions and took the time to get to know us. The tools and systems she uses was a DREAM to my type A brain, once we started working with Jeanne any scatterbrain feelings I had went away with her support.

We had a couple of twists and turned thrown our way during wedding planning and Jeanne went ABOVE AND BEYOND to figure everything out without a worry. For example about three months before our wedding our videographer had to cancel on us due to medical reasons, she went into full planner mode & found us a list of videographers she had either worked with before or had known other planners in thew business to have worked with before. Within 72 hours we had a call set up with another videographer who we ended up loving.

Now onto our wedding day, there are simply not enough positive adjectives to describe how wonderful Corie was on our wedding day and during our rehearsal. She was prepared, our best advocate, and seemed to be everywhere whenever we needed her. I will never forget what she whispered in my ear before I walked down the aisle, her compassion and excitement in that moment is something I will always remember. She really made us feel like she felt the emotions we was feeling during every minute of our wedding day. She was also so skilled in bustling me so I didn't miss a single moment!

I miss talking to you all the time Jeanne!! Corie you are an absolute gem and we were lucky to have you there on our most special day. My only regret was not getting a picture with you on our wedding day! We love you both!

If I could give Bogath Weddings and Events 6 stars, I would. Jeanne and her staff are professional, honest, kind, and most of all experienced. Jeanne was a life-saver for our wedding celebration party. I was overwhelmed with the management of it all. The tent would not accommodate all of us - Jeanne knew the company. They returned and she figured out a way to make it work beautifully. The transportation was booked - Jeanne called the supervisor. We scheduled the perfect guest shuttle. A few of the vendors were not communicating - Jeanne acted as an intermediary. The food, the bar, the music, the decorations, everything turned out exceptional. Every detail was thought out. Every eventuality. It was a perfect day and we were able to actually enjoy it because Jeanne had covered every base. Her knowledge and connections in the area of Long Beach Island and Ocean County are unmatched. She knows the pros and cons of every venue, every vender, every crazy party/wedding activity idea you can think of and she will listen to what your vision is. We received countless complements from the party-goes as well as from people just walking by. I highly recommend you contact Bogath Weddings & Events and fully enjoy your own celebration.

If I could leave more than 5 stars for Jeanne, I would! She made my wedding planning process so effortless and fun. She was so thoughtful, intentional, and incredibly organized with every single detail. My son was born in the middle of our wedding planning process and Jeanne did SO much work behind the scenes (along with my amazing mother) to reduce stress for me while navigating having a newborn and also planning a wedding. Jeanne truly went above and beyond her duties as a wedding planner. We love her and her team and truly consider her a friend at this point!

I wish there were more than five stars to give Bogath Weddings and Events because I would give 100 if I could. Jeanne was a dream to work with -- organized, knowledgeable, patient, detail-oriented, calm, available ... every quality you hope to have in a wedding planner. She was also extremely professional at all times but down to earth at the same time. Cool under pressure, responsive, attentive and able to find solutions on a dime, she is a treasure. She is very well respected by all who have come into contact with her, whether they are clients, vendors, or the venues she works with. We consider ourselves so lucky to have found Jeanne and would work with her again in a heartbeat. I recommend her unequivocally.
