We used chose Before the Vows’ “Month Of” coordination package for our wedding and mom and I both agree it was THE BEST decision we could have made. We are both DIY kind of gals, b...
ut our venue required a wedding coordinator so we booked with Jenny. Very, very quickly we realized we would have been way out of our depth without her. Not only is Jenny extraordinarily kind, positive, and up beat, but she is extremely thorough and detail oriented. We had multiple meetings with her and her team leading up to the wedding, and each time we left feeling confident and encouraged. Jenny and her team always showed up early to meetings, were consistent with communication, and clear about instructions. It was a huge blessing to be able to hand over vendor communication, timeline planning, etc to them the month before the wedding. The wedding went so smoothly and Jenny and her team worked so hard— truly above and beyond—to make it so my family (mom in particular) truly just got to act as guests and enjoy the day. Jenny and her team are total professionals and we cherish the friendships we got to create with them during the wedding planning process.

her team are all very personable and working with them felt like working with trusted friends. I loved the personalized timeline, text reminders, and quick responses I received to any questions or comments. Jennifer went above and beyond in helping us plan and execute our wedding and even connected me with a local vendor who created a beautiful display of champagne corks that my husband and I had collected throughout our relationship. Jennifer is a workhorse and she will do an amazing job at handling your event!!!
