We hired Jennie and her team for month-of coordination with an add-on for design assistance because I didn't have a lot of faith in my ability to put together all of my ideas in a way that didn't look awful. We had multiple meetings (mostly vir...tual) where she took her time, answered all of our questions and alleviated our concerns. In our initial meeting, before we'd hired her, she told us that it was inevitable that something would go wrong on our wedding day and it would be her job to find a solution before we ever knew anything was wrong. That was definitely what I needed to hear and she did that and more.
She helped us put together a mood board to present our ideas to potential vendors, made recommendations and put us in touch with vendors we needed and coordinated with vendors we'd already hired. She asked the questions that never even occurred to us and made sure no details were missed.
On our big day it felt to me like everything had gone seamlessly (almost - more on that later). It was only after the fact that I found out how many things Jennie had to address behind the scenes that I never knew about. Things that were forgotten, readings that didn't print in full and needed to be redone, etc. Mostly little things, but all things that would've stressed me out on my wedding day. Instead, I felt no stress at all that day... with one exception.
My husband to be, our wedding party and parents were gathered and the "walking down the aisle" music had just started when the best man realized he didn't have the rings. I panicked and yelled "stop the music!" because I assumed we'd just ruined our wedding by forgetting a very important accessory. Jennie calmly asked where they were and told us not to worry and to proceed down the aisle. The rings had been left in the basement of our venue, in the space where we'd taken a few minutes to relax pre-ceremony. She (or maybe her assistant, I honestly don't know) managed to get the rings and, during one of the readings when our officiant had stepped aside momentarily, she managed to pass the officiant the rings. When the time came for us to exchange rings, the officiant had them and no one was any the wiser. No one even noticed Jennie's ninja-like secret stealth ring delivery (not even me, until I watched the wedding video and noticed the quick hand-off in the background). I'm not normally prone to theatrics, but, in my mind at least, my "stop the music!" moment was like a scene out of a very dramatic romantic comedy. It was the most stressful part of a long, amazing day and it lasted literally seconds, thanks to Jennie's calm, cool demeanor.
My now husband and I planned everything ourselves without any input from friends and family, so that we could surprise people, and so we could spare ourselves everyones opinions on what we were doing. Jennie was the only person who knew any of the details and she helped us craft the most perfect wedding. It was elegant and quirky and beautiful and fun, and was perfectly "us".
You absolutely can't go wrong hiring Jennie and her team.
