Our relationship would not have survived & our perfect wedding would not have happened without Jaynie at Basswood Events! My husband & I have been together for almost 10 years, eng...aged for 3. I was always very vocal about wanting to get married but not wanting to plan a wedding. What initially started out as a simple private ceremony & small get together at my husband’s favorite Henderson Harbor spot spiraled. Before I knew it, I was planning a backyard ceremony, a wedding reception for 100 people & we were 3 months away. I was full of anxiety, making lists, watching social media reels, looking at Pinterest, ordering things on Etsy. I needed sleep & someone to organize us. We just didn’t know what we didn’t know – we needed a wedding planner.
I immediately set up consultations with 4 – Jaynie was my 2nd meeting & I knew she was our person. During that conversation, Jaynie eased my stress by being prepared, offering ideas & solutions to the things I was worried about. When she asked a question & I said, “I don’t know” (Admittedly, I said that a lot) Jaynie was quick to come back with “how about this?” or “how about that?” Communication was excellent, her ideas amazing & she solved every single problem that came up with speed, professionalism & a dose of much needed comic relief. Our backyard ceremony was beautiful, the flowers & décor were perfect, she made our guests feel like they were there for a truly special event (hello, champagne welcome drinks). Jaynie also made the most adorable baby’s breath collar for our Black Lab Archie – you can check him out if you follow Basswood Events on Instagram, which I highly recommend!
Jaynie handled our wedding reception, 2 weeks later, with the same ease. She efficiently turned a restaurant into a wedding venue, despite the many obstacles in the way. During the party, Jaynie jumped in helping the servers, filing water glasses etc. She would also randomly but stealthily appear asking us if we ate, if we needed a drink, did we have cake? Having Jaynie there allowed me to spend the day visiting with my best friends – it was one of the most special times of the day & I got to have that because of Jaynie. I am emotional just thinking about it, the day goes by so fast so to be able to have that time was such a gift.
I guess this was a long-winded way of saying hiring Basswood Events was the best decision I made! If you are looking for a wedding planner look no further – I could write pages more about how wonderful & perfect Jaynie made our ceremony & reception!
