Jen is absolutely amazing! She took the time to get to know us and worked with us to create a vision that was unique and fit our personalities. She is so talented when it comes to design - we knew we didn't want something cookie cutter but didn't quite know where to start. Jen brought us so many creative ideas and put together an aesthetic more beautiful than we could have dreamt of. She is also incredibly organized and detail oriented. We had several long calls over the year and a half we worked together, and I appreciated how she was willing to spend as much time with us as we needed and she never missed a single detail - she was so passionate and deeply invested in us having the best day. I always looked forward to those calls not just because the planning was fun, but also because Jen is such a genuine person with incredibly positive energy and a great sense of humor – she is so fun to spend time with. A lot of people say planning a wedding is stressful, but honestly I felt the opposite. I had so much fun and was sad when it was over because of how much I was going to miss spending time with Jen! Also, our families and friends were so impressed with her and loved getting to know her. She is the absolute best – we can’t wait to visit her in Paso! I would recommend Jen to every couple – you will have the best day ever and so much fun leading up to it!

If you're a bride grappling with whether or not to hire a wedding planner-read this post!

Weddings are expensive and stressful. I was on the fence on whether I should hire a planner bc of the cost but it was hands down the BEST decision I ever made during the wedding planning process and this was solely due to the fact that I met Jennifer. She's so much more than an event planner—she calmed me down when times got stressful, she was always 4 steps ahead of me with a plan B, C, and D in place, and she became a close friend and creative partner in crime.

Aside from her acute attention to detail, Jen truly has amazing taste and a great design eye (and this is coming from someone who has worked in the creative field my entire career). She helped collaborate with me and brought my vision to life. Most importantly, she knew I was on a budget and always came to the table with cost saving ideas I would have never thought of. She's a prominent name in the central coast wedding industry and her loyal, kind, and lovely personality is why everyone wants to work with her! I could write an entire essay professing my love for Jennifer! I mean, who takes their client out to lunch and then buys them fresh pasta and italian treats to take home with them?! Jen is a treasure <3 If you're on the fence or looking for the perfect partner to plan to your wedding-look no further bc Jennifer is the best in the business!

I truly don't know what we would have done without Jen. She was not only phenomenal at helping us coordinate the logistics of the event, but she was also our rock during the whole process. She planned the flow of the day flawlessly and made sure we didn't miss even a minor detail. She even brought beautiful clear umbrellas for all of our guests so that our ceremony would be picture-perfect despite the rain. We had a stressful experience with our venue due to renovations that interfered with our plans, but she was always by our side to ensure we had a magical day in the end. She will make your wedding the funnest/best day ever and will make sure it is perfectly curated to you.

I can hardly write this review without crying. Jen was THE BEST!!! From the first consultation to the final goodbye, Jen was a true professional and more than that, a wonderful friend.

Throughout the entire planning process, Jen was incredibly attentive and accommodating, making sure that every detail was perfect. She worked tirelessly to ensure that my vision for my wedding day was brought to life and even went above and beyond to suggest creative ideas that I never would have thought of on my own.

On the day of the wedding, Jen was an absolute godsend. She was everywhere at once, ensuring that every aspect of the day was perfect. She handled everything with such ease and grace. Everyone kept asking how I was so calm and it was because I knew she had it all handled.

But more than just her professional skills, Jen became a true friend throughout the planning process. She took the time to get to know me and my husband, and made sure that every decision we made was a reflection of our personalities and style. She was always there to lend an ear or offer a word of encouragement, and I truly could not have done it without her.

Overall, I cannot recommend Jen enough as a wedding planner. She is not only an incredibly talented professional but a wonderful person and friend. If you're looking for someone to help make your wedding day unforgettable, you have to hire Jen!!!

When I started planning my wedding for September 2023, the one thing I knew to do was to look for was a wedding planner. Choosing Jen was probably one of the best decision I could have made for my wedding. Not only is she proficient and professional at her job, but I also know I gained a long time friend as well.

Jen has made my wedding planning go so smoothly and easy that I didn't have to worry about most of the technical and stressful side of wedding planning. She made it so I could focus on my creative vision of what I wanted to for the wedding day and whatever I was looking for she would help my vision come to life. From finding the venue to working with and finding vendors and all the small decoration details in between, she has gotten me covered every step of the way. She makes sure that not only what I want is covered, but always respected what my budget was and worked with what was closest achievable to the budget I had. She always checked in on me and made sure that I wasn't stressed and gave me a sense of having everything handled. And when she says she's a text/call away if I needed anything, she really means it. Especially the days leading up to the wedding she would check in with me every week and if I had any question she would respond within the day if not the next day.

The day of the wedding was probably the most memorable for me, because Jen was around to handle all the back end of business so I could enjoy the day. It was the best day of my life and it was all thanks to Jen. She coordinated with all the vendors to help make my visions and wants come true. I never once had to talk to anybody or troubleshoot anything because she had everything under control. Thanks to her, I only had great memories to remember by.

So overall, if I can recommend or advice anything to future brides and grooms for their wedding is to hire a wedding planner and to go with Jen. I promise you really won't regret it.

In searching for a wedding planner, Jennifer was our only pick. After our first meeting with her, we trusted that she was the right fit for bringing our dreams to reality and she did. Jen was a joy to work with. As someone who is detail oriented, I appreciated that Jen was likeminded. She has the local contact relationships, she took care of everything without skipping a beat, and she made the planning experience seamless. The question my husband I got the most was “aren’t you stressed?”. Our answer was no. We started early and we had an excellent planner, who had it all figured out, so we didn’t have reason to feel stressed.

If you are looking for a wedding planner who will take the stress out of it, look no further. Jen is terrific, she’s an expert in her field and you can tell that she loves her job. This isn’t a project for her, it’s personal and we felt that she was invested in our day, from the big decisions, down to the tiny details. We couldn’t have done anything without her. In working with Jen for over a year, she became a fast friend and partner and someone who we will stay connected with for future visits to Paso!

Thank you, Jen! Your passion was evident, and we were thrilled to work with you.

it was our first and only time being the mother of the bride. We are beyond thrilled. My daughter would plan a medium, non-traditional wedding reception initially. I wasn’t sure what we would do to help her. We were so lucky meet Jennifer. Hire Jennifer to my daughter’s wedding planner was one of our best decisions.
My daughter hired Jennifer as a full-time planner about a year before the wedding date. Jennifer was very knowledgeable about everything she needed to do, and constantly communicate with my daughter every step of the way. Jennifer made my daughter’s lives much less stressful, I can't imagine having planned my daughter’s wedding without her.
My friends had couple bad experiences for photographers or videographers or other planner unexpected absent in the wedding days for their daughters or son’s wedding. This incident won’t be happened if the wedding was planned by Jennifer. In addition to Jennifer’s many years’ professional experience, very professional, organized, and easy to communicate with, another biggest strength is her wedding resource. She recommended a list of wedding venues, reliable photographers, videographers, flower planners, wedding gadgets etc. She will walk with the clients to make the best decision to meet the budget.
She had many meetings with vendors, helpers and her team to monitor the decorations, food, drinks, videographers, photographers, and etc. before the wedding. She setup a rehearsal and kept everyone on track with everything that needed to be checked off 1 day before the wedding. Moreover, she and her team showed up early to track with everything was fine at the wedding day. Staying late to supervise everything until the wedding was over. As for the wedding day, everything was perfect and went without a hitch!
Jennifer, thank you for your awesome service to give my daughter a perfect and unforgettable wedding in her life.
One of the best decisions in my life is to hire Jennifer to be my daughter’s wedding planner. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !!!
