Charming Soirees

recommend her to everyone who is looking for a planner, even if it’s just for day of. She is extremely organized and truly was a breath of fresh air on the day of our wedding. Always cool, calm, and collected. We got to enjoy our day and not worry about a thing because we knew Jocelyn was taking care of us. Don’t hesitate to reach out to her; you won’t regret it!

ken care of. When the day came, Rebecca kept all the relatives and wedding party in line for the rehearsal and ceremony. She made it easy for us, and solved problems so that we were free to enjoy the day. She also stepped up to the plate and took on any job that needed doing. We used a collection of antique glass from my great grandmother for centerpieces, and Rebecca said she would arrange them all without hesitation. She did an amazing job and they looked great, and then she carefully packed them all away after dinner. Highly recommend her services.

rself, confirming timelines and locations, she confirmed everything down to the smallest detail. The service she provides is truly exceptional. Joceyln made our day completely stress free, which allowed us to truly be present and enjoy our day. She is so kind, professional and beyond organized. Working with Jocelyn was a pleasure, and I would recommend her to anyone looking for coordination assistance.

n the last few weeks before our wedding to coordinate and make sure we had all of the small details taken care of. Jocelyn was also able to field questions from our family members to take the weight off of us. Jocelyn was able to make sure nothing fell through the cracks!! I could not have done it without her!

hard work. We had a couple meetings beforehand where we really ironed out everything and she left me feeling confident and ready for the big day. I cannot recommend her enough! She is the best!!

il, phone, text, and in person whenever I needed! Her attention to detail is amazing and she made sure every single box was checked before the big day! I can't say enough good things about her. I will definitely recommend her to ANY bride getting married in the STL-IL area. 10/10 stars!!

s, vendor recommendation, printing the seating chart and bringing supplies like cake stand, etc. We had last minute issues with stains on the wedding dress and Jocelyn was ready to rescue the situation. Would recommend!

rough the cracks, even for the most organized of brides, and she thought of everything! With unlimited calls and meetings ahead of the big day, she'll ensure you're set up for success and will handle anything else. Her calm, cool demeanor also helps chill the nerves before walking down the aisle. Also, she had several items on-hand (clear umbrellas for a rainy day, tee-light candles for added brightness and greenery to boost the aisle decore) that brought our event to the next level. Hire her and let go of stress and worry!

and her team took care of EVERYTHING! I especially loved how easy they were to communicate with and how responsive they were to my needs/questions. We were married at our home, so there was a LOT of work to do the day off-- moving tables around, setting up chairs, florals, etc. Jocelyn and Margaret guided us through selecting our florals, dealing with rain, and everything in between. If you are looking for the perfect person to guide you through planning, with all of the tools you need, hire Charming Soirees. You will not be disappointed!

ent money on, it is to have Jocelyn there". The planning meetings we had before the wedding really helped me get organized and think about small details that I had no idea I even need to think about. And even with those little details, there were still a lot of little details that fell through the cracks until the day of - and she handled them all. Us losing the funnel for the hour glass for the sand ceremony? No problem, I texted Jocelyn and she found some funnels. We didn't have the wifi password to stream the wedding 20 minutes before the ceremony? Jocelyn was all over it. Mom losing her shoes an hour before the ceremony? Jocelyn called the salon we got ready at to see if they were there. Stressed out because it's 20 degrees outside and all of your bridesmaids were cold and complaining? Jocelyn was waiting with drinks. She went above and beyond to make sure that we had the best day. I've already recommended her to friends, and I want everyone to know what an amazing planner she was for me. Hire her!! She's worth it!

nded!!! My day was so much more relaxed knowing Jocelyn had it under control!

first to tell you that hiring her was the best decision we made during all of it. The amount of time that Jocelyn spends via text, email, phone and meetings in person really blew us away. She set up our reception for us, helped our officiant during our rehearsal, kept our bridal party in line--all the details that help you breathe and enjoy your big day, she took care of. She's professional and I know without a doubt she could tackle any obstacle that would or could arise. It's been two weeks now since our wedding and Jocelyn's name has been brought up by many of our friends and family who were so impressed by her services. If you are on the fence about a wedding coordinator, my best advice is to go for it. My husband and I found other ways to cut down on our budget and in return got to enjoy our wedding day all because of Jocelyn. Her talent and resourcefulness in the midst of these uncertain times were a God send to us.

a timeline for our wedding day! I recommend using her if you have a wedding or any kind of event coming up! Jocelyn definitely works wonders!!

every single detail of the day (picking up donuts, coordinating the day, taking down all the decorations, holding onto all my tip envelopes and passing them out at the end) AND she got our little flower girls to go down the aisle even when we didn't know if it would happen. Jocelyn also created a day of timeline and communicated with all of our vendors which was a huge help and another thing we didn't have to worry about. All in all Jocelyn is amazing! She is very professional and you also know that she truly cares about how your big day goes! Thank you so much Jocelyn! I will be recommending you to all of my friends!

y itself so joyful and stressfree for the bride and groom. Jocelyn managed and decorated the wedding as if she did it for her own family member. She went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time on the day and was such an easy person to work with. There were so many instances that she made us feel that our wedding wouldn't be as lovely without her help. A few of my favorites are - Jocelyn saw my dress is way too long and would be difficult for me to walk around / dance. She somehow managed to find a sewing kit and sewed my dress in a perfect way! Still pretty and much more comfortable to be walking around with - Jocelyn paid great attention to detail. She prepared color books for the kid's table. Not only this made the kids very happy, the parents had more time to enjoy the dinner - Jocelyn was extremely patient with our changes and demand. There were many changes that happened a few days just before the wedding. Not only Jocelyn was calm throughout those times (which was super helpful!), she would also help us find solutions for all. I couldn't recommend Jocelyn enough! She really has the talent to turn your wedding into such a magical day! Thank you Jocelyn!!
