Deering Events

Jyl was amazing!!! I ended up using her for both day of and partial planning and it was worth every penny. She is incredibly responsive, calm, kind and was even able to meet her twice in person. Day of, I was not stressed at all, and I credit a lot of this due to Jyl and her team. She knows all of the vendors on the Cape and did a lot of the early leg work of setting them up. Thank you!!!

Cannot recommend working with Jyl enough for your wedding!! We are still beside ourselves at how amazing she and her team were from the early planning jitters to responding to a million emails we sent her to ensuring that everything ran smoothly on our wedding day. We knew from the start that we could trust Jyl. She got our vision, steered us so well, and allowed us to take our hands off the wheel and just enjoy when it came time for the wedding day. At every stage, she went above and beyond - in caring for us, our families, and our guests. Jyl has a real gift for this, and we feel so incredibly grateful that we were able to work with her for our wedding!

Jyl was amazing - truly went above and beyond! She took all of the stress out of both our welcome event and our wedding.

We worked with Jyl as our day-of coordinator for our wedding in June 2024, and have nothing but positive things to say about her! Jyl was so knowledgeable, and responsive in the months, weeks, and days leading up to the wedding. She has a deep knowledge of Cape Cod-specific vendors, which was super helpful for us (even giving advice on last-minute hair salons for some guests). She also was very detailed in her planning, making a great schedule for us day-of, and reminded us of things we hadn't thought of for planning. Whenever we had any questions, she was always quick to answer via email. On the day of the wedding, she was amazing. Our ceremony was outdoors, and there was a chance of rain, but she was in touch all morning and on-site for setup and gave us good advice for planning purposes. Leading up to the event she coordinated all the vendors, led the setup of all our decor and ceremony seating. And during the wedding, she kept us on track to make sure we did everything. And last but certainly not least, she coordinated all the cleanup and made sure that we had all of our possessions/ decor/ etc. This is something that was invaluable, as it meant we didn't have to worry about anything during the wedding :) Thank you, Jyl! We couldn't have had our wedding without you!

Jyl was absolutely amazing to work with! She traveled to Vermont with us for our wedding and kept us on track throughout the entire process. She was communicative and supported us when talking with and organizing all of our vendors!

Jyl was amazing to work with. She went above and beyond and made the months leading up to our wedding stress-free. She was extremely communicative, punctual, and thoughtful. Jyl recommended a number of our vendors, and we were happy with her suggestions. Highly, highly recommend working with her!

Jyl was such a pleasure to work with. Her communication timing was top notch and she really held me accountable to get things done quickly and efficiently. She made the day run so smoothly and was really on top of it all. Would definitely recommend her to all brides with big or small weddings!

Words cannot express how amazing Jyl was with helping coordinate our September wedding this past fall. From the initial phone chats, taking the time to meet in person, and NUMEROUS emails (all with crazy fast replies), all the way to the exceptional day itself - Jyl helped make our wedding process so smooth and stress free, and ensured the magical day came to life just as we planned it. While we only hired her for day of coordination, Jyl went above and beyond in immersing herself in our wedding planning and rehearsal activities. She was incredibly organized and detail-oriented, and between her extensive industry knowledge and local vendor relationships she really was able to ensure that everything the day of was executed flawlessly by our entire vendor team. It’s clear that Jyl is so passionate about what she does and really invested in her couples, and we could not be happier that she was a part of our special day. You won’t regret working with Jyl to plan any of your wedding activities. Thank you Jyl for an unforgettable experience!

I can’t begin to describe how grateful I am for Jyl. She was awesome to work with from the get-go. I can’t imagine what our day would’ve been like without her guidance. Great communication, advice and all around wonderful woman! Wish I could give her 1 millions stars 🥰

Jyl was an exceptional and critical part of our wedding weekend, and we feel SO lucky to have gotten to work with her. Jyl was our day-of coordinator, but was always available for any questions/concerns we had over the year leading up to our wedding. She was super organized, was on our "team", was helpful in making decisions and giving advice, quick with her response, and above all, was just a really really nice person to work with. Our wedding was on Cape Cod, and she was highly knowledgeable about the area and vendors that we could work with. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a flawless and stress-free wedding day! I can only imagine how amazing she would be as your full fledged wedding planner!

Jyl was above and beyond fantastic. My daughter and I hired Jyl early on in our year-long planning for my daughter's Cape Cod wedding, and Jyl did not disappoint. Always incredibly professional, responsive, thorough, thoughtful and helpful, I truly do not know how I could have possibly pulled off the beautiful day without her. I am so thankful I didn't have to! We hired Jyl for her full package, and she attended vendor meetings with us to help choose tables, linens, china, glassware; she had valuable suggestions for tents, lighting, flowers, food, planning time, photographers--everything and anything that we needed. She was always available by email, phone or in person at our request. The day of the wedding, we had to move the ceremony inside from a planned beach ceremony due to heavy rain, and she was nothing but calm and energized and positive. If there were any glitches, I did not know about it--because Jyl handled it all with aplomb and class. 10/10 for sure.

Jyl is the absolute best! From our first call, she made me feel heard, at ease and totally supported. She fielded every question I had throughout our year working together incredibly quickly and always with a smile. Working with Jyl was one of the best decisions I ever made! She worked tirelessly on our entire wedding weekend and it went off without a hitch (even in the rain). Jyl was instrumental in our day going so well, and she and her team executed our vision so perfectly. She is meticulous, organized, calm and amazingly kind. I’ve already recommended her to friends getting married in the coming years! Jyl made wedding planning so fun and provided all of the guidance I could have ever needed. We love you, Jyl!

We could not have asked for a better planner than Jyl. Beyond being such a kind person, she made us feel at ease throughout the months leading up to and on our wedding day. She kept all the details organized and was extremely responsive to every email. It was wonderful and helpful having her take the reigns in connecting with our other vendors and keeping us on a perfect schedule the day of the wedding, so we had time to really enjoy ourselves. With a lot of moving parts, we always felt that we were in good hands with her and the team. One of my favorite aspects of having Jyl onboard was being able to take all of our decor (signage, polaroids, matchboxes, etc.) and having it perfectly set up without any direction at the venue. She really went above and beyond to make the atmosphere inviting and memorable for our guests. We couldn't recommend her more for your wedding - you will be in the best hands!

Jyl was absolutely instrumental in pulling off our wedding smoothly. From the moment we hired her, Jyl went above and beyond with sage advice, coordinating with the venue, quick responses, and helping us figure out what we needed to still do and when. When it came to two months before our wedding, Jyl was indispensable, coordinating between vendors and putting together a timeline that factored in so many moving parts with ease. By the time it came to our wedding day, it was clear from chatting with other vendors that Jyl had put in work that we weren’t even aware of, making our lives easier without us even knowing or asking for recognition. And on the wedding day, she kept us on schedule, was there every step of the way, and managed to anticipate hiccups before they even happened. No small blip was not swiftly remedied - one too few bridesmaids bouquets, a button falling off the groom’s tux, a small stain on the bride’s dress, family portraits that felt overwhelming at times, or a bride’s headache. We still remark to ourselves that we are in shock at how smoothly things ran, and are still waiting for something wedding-related to go wrong, because nothing really did. And that’s the magic of hiring Jyl — she will make sure that’s the case for you, and if something does come up, she’s the best person to rise to the challenge of fixing it. Hiring Jyl is the best decision you could make for your wedding!!

If I could go back and change one thing about my wedding, it would be hiring Jyl for the full planning services instead of day of/month of. Jyl was an absolute life saver. The second she started getting more involved about 1 month out from our wedding, my stress levels dropped significantly. She knew all of our vendors personally, had planned and executed multiple weddings at our venue, and just operated with an air of confidence and ease that every bride needs in their life. The day of our wedding, Jyl took complete control of the reins, and I just got to enjoy the day. She navigated the uncertain weather, my semi-dysfunctional family, assembling our DIY centerpieces and hundreds of other details that I am not even aware of to ensure the day was perfect. She even drove off-cape to pick up and drop off our rentals, which saved us hundreds of dollars. I could not be more grateful for Jyl - do yourself a favor and pick Deering Events for your wedding!

In the words of my husband, “If anyone gets married on the cape without Jyl, they’re an idiot,” and he’s right. We worked with Jyl for almost 2 years to plan our wedding, and the day couldn’t have been any more perfect. We were planning from a few states away and we really valued her vendor network and trusted her recommendations. All of her vendor recommendations were such high quality and a pleasure to work with and we always felt like we were in great hands. We really appreciated her responsiveness to all of our random questions, even more than a year out from the wedding, and we always felt like a priority. Having her manage all of the vendor communications and follow ups made the process so smooth for us and we had a pretty stress-free planning process. Jyl really went above and beyond our expectations in the days leading up to our wedding, offering to do things we wouldn’t have thought to ask of her to get things off our plate. There was rain in the forecast, so she talked us through what our options were if it rained and let us know when we had to make a decision by, and checked in a couple times throughout the morning to see how I was feeling. If there were any crises, I had no idea. Everything was flawless, from the ceremony to the food, flowers, and tablescape! Jyl even took special care to wrap some lace from my mother’s wedding dress around my bouquet for me and removed it after photos and tucked it in my bag (thankfully, because my bouquet was accidentally taken home by someone!). We can’t recommend Jyl enough, so don’t be an idiot, work with Jyl to plan your wedding.

Jyl Deering was exactly what we were looking for when we started to plan our wedding. We engaged Jyl for day-of/month-of services and had such a great experience. Jyl confirmed with our vendors, finalized timelines, ran our rehearsal, and of course brought it all together for the day of the event. Jyl also procured gorgeous reception rentals for us, fitting our theme and they were a huge hit with our guests! Our other vendors (DJ, Photographer, HMUA, Venue, etc.) had nothing but great things to say about working with her too. Jyl is organized, attentive, easy to work with, hard working, and patient with all our questions during the planning process and during the days just prior to our wedding. We had the PERFECT big day! I felt much more at ease knowing I had Jyl and her team in my corner. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better team of professionals to make our day the most amazing day ever. Jyl and Breanna are so sweet, down to earth and personable! Jyl Deering is a top-notch planner and we were incredibly lucky to have her help. We never had to worry. She always made us feel like she had everything 100% under control. Don’t think twice. I would recommend Jyl Deering and her team to absolutely anyone! Engaging Jyl Deering and her team was the best decision we made!!

Hiring Jyl was one of the best decisions we could have made. For over a year she helped us plan and prepare for our wedding on Cape Cod while we were living in California. She was always extremely quick to respond and joined us for multiple site visits. She has fantastic connections and helped us find a new florist in less than 24 hours only a few months out from our wedding when we needed to make a change. She was calm and reassuring which really helped ease my stress around the wedding. She helped execute an absolutely flawless wedding day and it was truly perfect. As someone who is typically high stress, i never could have imagined to be so calm and stress free on my wedding day and Jyl is a huge reason for that. She is a joy to work with and we highly recommend!

We hired Jyl as a day of coordinator and she was wonderful. I initially hadn't thought of hiring a day of, but I am so glad I did and that it was Jyl. She gave me several pieces of advice while I planning that were invaluable. She checked in on me several times while planning to make sure I was doing ok, and if I had any questions. Day of she wasn't rattled by anything I threw at her, she did such a nice job setting up and made sure everything was put away before she left. She was truly invaluable and I highly recommend her.

Without Jyl and her team, I know our day wouldn’t have happened so smoothly. Jyl was accessible to us throughout the planning process to answer questions, give insight, and help us prioritize the details that made our day so special. Fast forward to the day of and we had zero stress because she handled everything. We got to show up to our wedding and just enjoy it! We cannot recommend Jyl enough, she was incredible. If you’re looking for a stress-free wedding day, then hiring Jyl and her team is the right decision!

Hiring Jyl was the best decision I made for my wedding! She is the perfect mix of calm and assertive. In meetings, Jyl let me speak for myself but was aware when to swoop in when I did not have an answer. She is freaky fast at responding to emails, has good advice and ideas, and goes above and beyond. I was overwhelmed planning a destination wedding and Jyl suggested vendors, contacted vendors on my behalf when requested, and even packaged the wedding favors for me! Highly recommend !!

I don’t even know where to begin, Jyl is just absolutely amazing. 10 stars if I could! I used Jyl for full service planning and I would hire her over and over. For a little over a year she was the sole reason I didn’t stress about our wedding at all. She has this calming way about her and if something didn’t go exactly right I couldn’t even tell. She listened on what our vision was for our wedding and it really seemed like our vendors had been handpicked for us, they were all a perfect fit! She made me feel like I was the only bride she was working with and always responded so quick to emails. Trust me on your wedding day and days leading up, you don’t want to be worrying about who will be handing checks to vendors and fixing your broken bustle. Jyl goes above and beyond. She was the hype girl we all need the day of the wedding and if I can recommend anything to other couples it’s hire her, everything else will fall into place after!

Jyl is perfectly organized, punctual, and professional. Our bride and groom were so busy completing their medical residency, they had to rely on her to carry out their dreams. And she was wonderful. Jyl, my whole family is going to miss you and your calm, pleasant and friendly guidance. Definitely hire Jyl as your planner ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The only thing I would ever change is I should have hired her the day they got engaged. I mean it!

Jyl was amazing! We originally hired her for just day of coordination but as the stresses grew, she fully took over communications with our venue. On the day of she was a lifesaver and ran to pick up last minute items and made sure the day went smoothly.Highly recommend using her !

I was extremely hesitant to hire a wedding coordinator because I am pretty organized, and type A, however, hiring Jyl is by far one of the best things I did! From the start Jyl responded quickly to emails, and was able to work with me and my budget to see what services would make the most sense for the wedding I was planning. Since my venue had a wedding coordinator I originally hired Jyl for day of coordination and to assist with transportation, but she did far more than that and helped in so many ways I never even thought of; she met with me for rental services, a brunch prior to the wedding, attended rehearsal the night before, and even helped clean up after the wedding. Her knowledge of vendors in Cape Cod was super helpful as she was able to point me in the direction of reputable vendors within my budget. She also helped think through logistics, and time line. Lastly, the aisle planner site she provided was incredibly helpful for guest list tracking and floor plan/seating arrangements. If you are thinking about hiring a coordinator, hire Jyl! She made my wedding day so smooth and I look forward to seeing her business continue to grow as I can't imagine there is anyone better out there!

Jyl is absolutely amazing. We booked her for just day-of coordinating but felt like we were getting the full-service treatment. She willingly helped me with all of my questions months ahead of the actual wedding day, and gave me plenty of advice and good tips on what to be keeping track of/ordering and when. When the week of the wedding arrived, Jyl was at the venue with us extensively: she was meticulous and organized with the other vendors, and I really felt like I could totally let go and actually relax! She realized our dream wedding vision and we are indebted to her for making our day as smooth, beautiful and memorable as possible!

My family hired Jyl for my sister's wedding a few years ago and the experience was above and beyond, so we knew when I started planning my wedding in 2019 the only nonnegotiable was to make sure Jyl was at my wedding too! Being a covid bride, having Jyl's support and expertise throughout the rollercoaster of a planning process ended up being more important than ever and was a source of comfort for us. We had to reschedule twice, and each time Jyl was there to quickly hop on calls or answer emails to help us make timely decisions - all with incredible calmness and professionalism. We also had to change a few vendors throughout the rescheduling process, and Jyl had great recommendations that we ended up hiring. When our day did come, it was PERFECT. There was not one thing that Jyl didn't think of. Even with so many moving parts, she made sure everyone and everything was where it needed to be at all times of the day, which alleviated any stress from me, my husband, and our family, so we could truly be in the moment. Days after, my parents and I were still asking each other how Jyl was able to coordinate various details, big and small, that seemed to magically appear at the right places and times throughout the day. If you are considering hiring Jyl, do it! It will be the best decision you make during your planning process.

Jyl is fantastic, you will not regret hiring her to help you navigate the wedding planning process. We live out of state and did the partial planning package. Jyl helped us to find all the amazing vendors we worked with by helping to narrow down all the options to a few. She has a wonderful eye for details and was able to provide thoughtful suggestions to help make our day even special. We had to reschedule our wedding due to the pandemic and even though Jyl was double booked on our new date she didn’t miss a beat and ensured we had a fantastic day of coordinator, Breanna, and even then Jyl managed to stop in several times to make sure everything was running smoothly. So to summarize: professional, caring, and a great person to have in your corner, so that you can focus on enjoying getting married to your favorite person.

Jyl, from both Lindsay and I, thank you so much for everything you provided us on our wedding date and from our very first planning phone call so many months prior. We continue to reconnect with couples who tell us how sublime the whole wedding was -- especially the seamless sequence of events made possible by you! They feel, just as Lindsay and I do, that the entire weekend down the Cape was perfectly orchestrated and welcomed us to celebrate our love story in full. You were at the center of all of this. You were a true friend throughout and shared comfort & wisdom at each checkpoint -- we feel so lucky to have you & Chequessett in our wedding memories forever.

Jyl is incredible!!! We had the most positive experience working with Jyl during our wedding planning process and we were beyond impressed with how her and her team pulled everything off on the day of our wedding! She has great attention to detail, SO quick to respond to emails, had great recommendations (for vendors, design elements, flow of event, etc.), and seamlessly ran the show on the day-of. Highly recommend!

Jyl was phenomenal to work with and helped to make our wedding day and weekend spectacular. It was such a special day and we couldn’t have done it without her! We started working together over two years ago and it was a pleasure working with her through all the planning! She was there for all the ups and downs through the pandemic, reschedules and changes to our wedding. Jyl was always available anytime I had questions or concerns. We had several calls to talk through all things wedding, hundreds of emails, and a few in person meetings, too. She offered helpful suggestions and opinions and guided me through many of my wedding related decisions. Jyl was a true professional and executed my wedding vision perfectly! Thank you for making our day so special and memorable, Jyl!

Jyl was beyond amazing! After changing our destination wedding to an intimate local wedding at a family residence, we weren't originally sure if we needed a day-of coordinator... I AM SO GLAD MY NOW HUSBAND TALKED ME INTO IT. Jyl was with us from day one. Though we only hired for day-of, she was always available via email / phone for any questions that came up when booking our vendors or coordinating logistics. She even came out to both of our venue options in the neighborhood and was able to reassure us which space would work better for our guest count. Building a timeline for the days leading up to our wedding and the day-of was invaluable. On the day-of, we had tons of different local vendors that Jyl handled with ease. We asked her to play the roll of florist for some of the decor; we received so many compliments on the decor & table settings. The overall flow of the guests throughout the space was VERY important to us for an intimate wedding and Jyl made choices on vendor locations that went above and beyond. Our wedding was an amazing, intimate, local Cape Cod affair of our dreams and we credit Jyl for everything coming together.

Jyl had the fun task of helping us plan a wedding from 2018 - 2021 (thanks to the pandemic). It was so great to have Jyl by my side through the whole process. We started out by making sure all of my vendors/contracts were in order, then as 2020 became an issue she supported me through the process of rescheduling. As we got closer to the day of the actual wedding, Jyl helped make sure I wasn't forgetting anything and coordinated the day-of plan (something I'd never be able to figure out on my own). We received compliments from our family after they finally got to meet Jyl and watch her work during the wedding. You could tell she was quietly behind the scenes making everything perfect. It was incredible to be able to spend my wedding day with my family and friends knowing that I had the support of Jyl to make sure everything went smoothly.

We connected with Jyl and Deering Events after we made the decision to fly from CA to MA to have an intimate backyard ceremony on Cape Cod with 5 months of lead time. As daunting as it sounded, Jyl completely reassured us of our plan from day 1 and made sure our day went off without a hitch. Between having a deep knowledge of local vendors, coordinating on the ground while we were still in CA, and taking on countless mini-roles the day-of, Jyl is the reason our day was every bit as effortless and dreamy as we hoped it’d be.

Jyl is so special. It is hard to even put into words how memorable and meaningful it was to work with her. From start to finish, Jyl was on top of everything in a seemingly effortless way. With her unique set of skills she was able to harness all of my ideas (which there were many) and make our vision a reality. Our wedding wouldn’t have been possible without her. We had to postpone our wedding due to covid and Jyl helped us navigate those seemingly impossible waters with honesty and compassion. Our wedding was also built from scratch. Jyl made communicating with other vendors not only easy, but enjoyable. Together we were able to assemble what felt like a wedding day dream team, every vendor was as talented and special as Jyl. Her ability to collaborate with everyone was an integral part of what made our wedding so successful. On our wedding day my partner and I were calm and able to be present because we knew Jyl was by our side. Any little fire that arose she put out without us even knowing. I will never forget her support. Thank you Jyl, it was a true joy to work with you and get to know you.

I don't know what we would have done without Jyl. Her guidance, patience and knowledge were unparalleled during the past two years. She was always professional with an optimistic attitude. You would be so lucky to have her as your wedding planner.

It was an absolute pleasure working with Jyl! She was kind and listened to what I wanted and planned a beautiful beach picnic proposal for me and my fiancée. She was responsive, on top of things, flexible and I never had to worry or chase her about anything. I would love to work with her again in the future!

If you are looking for an amazing, low stress wedding planning experience with someone who will take the time to really understand your personal wants and needs for your day, then look no further. You won't find a more personal, caring, organized, and detail oriented person than Jyl. My husband and I can't recommend her enough, and even our family and friends in the wedding party couldn't stop talking about how amazing she was and how wonderful it was that we worked with her. We initially started working with Jyl when we got engaged in 2019. Jyl kept us on track with prioritizing what we needed to do and when. She recommended amazing vendors that matched what we were looking for and the price point we wanted to stay within. Our wedding was pretty much planned for 7/11/2020 by the time COVID hit. Jyl worked with us immediately to help us reach out to vendors and help us with moving our wedding to 2021, including helping us find new vendors for the ones who were unavailable for our new date. We were so concerned when we decided to postpone that it would be really difficult, but Jyl made the process seamless and as stress free as possible. Fast forward to April of 2021, and my husband and I decided to move forward with a microwedding in 2021 with our 200 person reception in 2022. Jyl helped us tremendously with re-envisioning what our downsized event would look like, and it was everything we pictured and more. She listened to what we wanted to prioritize and helped to make our day really feel like it was personal and perfect for us. On our actual wedding day, Jyl made it so that we could enjoy every moment. From getting ready, handing out envelopes to vendors, to set up, we didn't have to think about anything, and could really appreciate our day and enjoy each minute. She checked in throughout the day to make sure we were doing, while working her magic behind the scenes to make everything happen. The day flew by but I truly think we had such an incredible wedding because Jyl was there for every step making sure things ran smoothly and dealing with anything that came up. We are so excited to be working with Jyl again for our 2022 reception! If you are on the fence about a wedding planner, we can't recommend Jyl highly enough.

We cannot thank Jyl enough for coordinating my daughter's wedding. She stuck with us through 2020 (original date) to 2021. Jyl picked the very best vendors, she handled all the correspondence and was with the bride and groom all the way from beginning to end; all with competence and a smile. She managed the entire reception, every aspect, from vendors, to cutting the cake, to putting out the goodie bags, and then some; every minute detail. She even came to the rescue of the mother of the bride on the day of the wedding when she picked her up at a wrong destination! We have begun calling her Saint Jyl and she totally deserves that title. Thank you Jyl, we could have never done this without you!

My husband and I are forever grateful to Jyl for sticking with us through COVID and coordinating the absolutely best, most memorable wedding for us and our guests. Jyl is very organized and made many very helpful recommendations throughout the planning process. She was there every step of the way through our original planning and re-planning, which is above and beyond anything we every expected. Jyl is extremely knowledgeable about her industry and particularly wedding planning on Cape Cod. She has relationships with excellent vendors -- every time I mentioned her name, my other vendors commented on her professionalism and talent. Moreover, my bridal party and family were very complementary of her attention to detail and organization throughout our wedding weekend. We certainly would recommend Jyl to other couples, and we hope to use her services again in the future!

Jyl was absolutely incredible! I plan to recommend her to every one of my friends getting married in the area. We had the most amazing Martha's Vineyard wedding celebration last month. I can't say enough about how much a life saver she was for my husband and I. We originally had our wedding planned for June 2020...but with Covid we had to re-schedule and postpone everything to June 2021. Jyl did it all! She called all the vendors to re-schedule and worked with them directly which was such a relief for us. During the wedding weekend, she was on top of everything. I had such little stress because I had full confidence that Jyl had it covered. From getting an extra makeup artist last minute, to saving my dress which I spilled oil on 20 minutes before our ceremony, Jyl was instrumental to my sanity and making our day the best we could have imagined:) Jyl is organized, calm, collected and very connected to the Cape and Islands wedding scene. She was able to make important introductions to vendors and had amazing ideas to incorporate into our wedding weekend. I can not stress how much we recommend Jyl. Thank you Jyl for everything!!!

So many good things to say about Jyl (and her assistant Megan) I don't even know where to start! Navigating planning a wedding during a pandemic was no easy feat, but Jyl made us feel at ease and taken care of completely. Our wedding was at a venue that required a lot of our own set-up as well as bringing in all our vendors, but both Jyl and Megan made us feel as if we didn't have to worry about a thing the whole weekend! Everything was thought of and I am so appreciative for their help. Our wedding went off without a hitch and I totally credit that to Jyl and Megan for their help!!

Hiring Jyl was our best decisions when planning our wedding. Shortly after getting engaged in 2017 I started planning our wedding. I had a vision but I needed help pulling it together. The minute I met Jyl I knew we had to hire her. She understood what I was looking to do. I wanted something beautiful but also with a romantic dark and moody vibe. We worked together for over two years making it happen. She introduced us to the best vendors out there who could help pull our vision together as well as staying within our budget. Six weeks before our wedding the pandemic hit and I was devastated. Jyl was super supportive and willing to do whatever we wanted. She helped us plan our elopement as well as still planning for the celebration we would have later on. She helped us work through two postponements and navigate the ever changing restrictions. We decided to have a micro wedding in April 2021 and it was absolutely beautiful and exactly what we wanted our day to be. The day of the wedding everything went so smooth because of Jyl and we didn't have to worry about a thing. She had everything organized to the exact minute. Even when I personally hit a few bumps such as a pounding headache and a snag in my dress Jyl had tylenol and a tiny sewing kit ready to go. My sister later said "I don't know how anyone gets married without a wedding planner". I absolutely agree it made the whole process stress free even during a pandemic. I also appreciated Jyl always giving an honest opinion about what would work best and an excellent communicator. You can always expect a quick response from her. She is the best out there. If you want a stress free planning process and a perfect stress free wedding day... hire Jyl (:

I originally signed on with Jyl for a partial wedding planning package when we were going to host a wedding and reception at a restaurant, and consider a very informal backyard engagement party, but when COVID hit, we decided to pivot our big day to take place in our backyard. Jyl was so great about helping us find vendors to plan a 20 person wedding starting in April, for a late October date, and being flexible about our change of plans. I was so impressed with her vendor choices, communication, and just general support. She was great at also letting us know where were in the process with everything, and who was responsible for what. She has a way of being very relaxed and calm, yet staying on top of things- this was important to us because I am very type A but my now husband is more laid back. She is budget friendly and gave good advice on where it was worth to put our money, and where we could lighten up a bit. We changed the package to have her provide onsite support day of and it was so great to have her there- I didn't have to worry about anything and we could just enjoy our magical day. I can't think how this could have gone any better, would highly recommend Jyl!

Even though our son's wedding plans changed due to the pandemic, I wanted to commend Jyl on her professionalism and help during this uncertain time. She was organized, stayed on task and was a pleasure throughout the process. She worked well with both the couple as well as all the parents involved, which is not always an easy task. I highly recommend Jyl for any event!

Hiring Jyl to help plan my sister’s and now brother in-Iaw’s wedding was one of the best decisions I have ever made! I have been to a few weddings where Jyl was working/planning behind the scenes and I was always impressed by how she could magically have these amazing weddings come together that were so unique to each couple. From the get go, with our family, she understood what we needed and helped us in ways that I would consider outside of her usual planning duties. Leading up to the big day, she hit every curve ball out of the park. She didn’t break a sweat when the brunch location cancelled 1 week before the wedding. The day of the wedding couldn’t have been more perfect and her calm and cool attitude helped put everyone at ease. Jyl was the best wedding gift and I cannot recommend her enough!

If wedding ninjas exist, Jyl is one of the. She put forth an incredible, herculean effort into making our wedding a show stopper. The compliments from all our guests were never-ending and we could not be happier with how the day went. From day one, she worked with us to help bring our vision to life with advice, research, responsiveness, organization, and other big and small gestures. We are so thankful that Jyl mentored us through the insane process that is planning a wedding. We are truly touched by her positive spirit, are eternally grateful, and will forever look back on our wedding with affection and amazing memories. You're in great hands with Jyl and we couldn't recommend her more!

We are so grateful to have had Jyl's help with our wedding this past June! Looking back, hiring her was one of the best decisions we made leading up to our big day. We hired her as a day-of/month-of coordinator, but she far exceeded our expectations! Starting a year or so before our wedding she checked in frequently to offer opinions, suggestions, and references for any vendor we were considering at the time. She was always quick to respond and to offer to help. When the week of our wedding came, she made sure she had all of our event/decoration plans, vendor phone numbers, etc, and she handled everything without issue! We felt so at-ease (and surprisingly stress-free!!) the day of our wedding having here her there, and she nailed it with every last detail... even the inevitable last-minute curve-balls! She made sure everything for the reception & ceremony was set up exactly how we wanted, relieving us and our families of that burden. She is so organized and adapts to any challenge and clearly worked so hard for us, even the other vendors had great things to say about how helpful she was! We would recommend Jyl to everyone. Thank you so much Jyl for helping us to have the best wedding day we could have asked for!

Jyl was the BEST decision we could have possibly made when it came to our wedding. My husband and I were planning our wedding from across the country and there is absolutely no way we could have ever done this without Jyl's help. We had our wedding at a private home and had to bring in everything for the space. Jyl gave us amazing recommendations for all of our vendors and every single one that she recommended was incredible. She is the most prompt person I think I have ever met and responded to every one of my emails with lightning speed. Kelsey was our day of coordinator and she was AMAZING!! She has such a relaxed personality which was perfect the day of the wedding and she was so helpful with every little thing we needed. We had check in phone calls with Jyl and Kelsey along the way and Jyl came by in person the day of our rehearsal to make sure we were all on the same page with Kelsey and our vendors. My husband and I have been raving about Jyl throughout our entire planning process and now that our wedding is over I still can't say enough good things about both Jyl and Kelsey. We would 100% recommend them to our friends, family and really any stranger willing to listen to us rave about them! 5 stars isn't enough to rate this team because they were absolutely incredible in every way. We would use them again in a heartbeat!

Not a day goes by that we don't remark how absolutely wonderful, fun, perfect, and smooth our special day was! None of it would have been possible without Jyl. Jyl made our day and our overall wedding experience incredibly blissful. Planning a 140+ person wedding at a private residence in the midst of the location (Nantucket) being 32 miles out to sea, could not have been an easy task. Jyl served as equal parts visionary, designer, project manager, and friend. Her ability to translate our ideas and wishes into a vision was endlessly impressive and her continual excitement regarding all things important to us reaffirmed our decision to hire her as a planner time and time again. Her ability to break down the daunting task of planning a wedding into bite-sized pieces made the whole process that much more fun, enjoyable, and meaningful. Jyl was nothing but understanding and patient with our busy schedules, as well as providing gentle reminders when we fell radio silent, she kept us on track and always moving forward. Jyl became so much a part of our lives and cared so much for us that we knew she would do everything to make our day special and meaningful - which she absolutely did! Before hiring Jyl, stereotypically, I feared the wedding day would be filled with phone calls, texts and inevitable interruptions - not a phone call or text the entire wedding! I would recommend Jyl and Deering Events to anyone who wants a professional and personally designed wedding. The wedding felt like it was custom made for us in the most wonderful and expertly executed way possible - which was the greatest gift Jyl could have given us. Thank you for everything, Jyl.

I cannot recommend Deering Events enough! Jyl and Megan were the best to work with! From the beginning they helped me be organized and focused on what needed to get done, but without me feeling overwhelmed or stressed out. Both of them were there to answer any questions that I had and to make recommendations when I asked. Jyl was great with recommending vendors and getting me in contact with them. She was there a few days before the wedding when all the rentals were getting delivered to make sure everything we ordered was there and to go over any questions I had. Megan was there the entire day of the wedding and was so wonderful in getting everything set up and taking care of everything I needed, even little things I had planned to do myself. I was able to just enjoy my morning and not feel any stress. Multiple guests commented to me saying how great she was and that she kept everything running so smoothly throughout the wedding. I can't thank them both enough for all of their help in making our wedding so perfect!

I cannot say enough good things about Jyl and Megan! Our wedding day was a dream, and we owe so many thanks, especially to Megan who was on site with us the day of! Even when we woke up to the back end of a hurricane on wedding day (having a tent wedding), Megan was so confident and cool that our day was going to be absolutely perfect, and 70 degrees and sunshine later, IT WAS!! Our vision of wedding was brought to life because of these ladies and we are so grateful!!! They are very responsive when we had any questions, and extremely organized, which was SO needed since we planned it all from 4 states away! I would recommend Jyl and Megan to anyone planning a wedding! Especially in the beautiful Cape Cod area!! They made our day completely flawless and more than we ever imagined !!

Jyl was an absolute life saver. When my partner and I decided we needed a wedding planner because we needed someone to help keep us on track and be organized, I can’t tell you how easy Jyl made everything. She was easy to work with, organized, accommodating, and responded to communication needs a timely manner. She helped give us ideas and recommendations, which was great because at times we didn’t know how to proceed or what to decide on. The big day came and it was like she was magic making everything happen in an effortless manner. Her ability to ensure everything was flowing well allowed us to simply enjoy and be part of an incredibly special day. I would highly recommend her services and would hire her again in a heart beat.

I couldn’t speak more highly of Jyl. As our full-service wedding planner, she spent about a year with us planning our ~160 person wedding which was held at my family’s home in Cape Cod. Given the non-venue location which had never seen an event of this magnitude before, every last detail had to be meticulously be planned and accounted for. Without Jyl, none of this would have been possible. Jyl is a true professional and because of this, vendors love to work with her which made securing our top choices a breeze. She was impressively responsive (down to every last bullet in my often times long lists of questions), and I always felt like I was her priority. Once the weekend came, I was confident in every plan we had made and truly did not have to worry about a thing (I even surprised myself at how calm and relaxed I felt) – her presence was extremely comforting. On the day of, she effortless coordinated an incredible team of vendors including the catering servers, bartenders, band members, photographers, florists, rental deliveries, parking attendants, shuttle drivers, and more. One of her team members even snuck out during the reception to pick up ice cream at our favorite local ice cream shop so it was *just right* to be served with dessert. THANK YOU JYL!

Finding a wedding planner was basically the first thing I did when we started planning because the whole thing felt very overwhelming. When I talked to Jyl, I really appreciated that she was straightforward with me about what the wedding we had in mind was likely to cost which helped me be realistic about our budget. She was also great about recommending vendors that fit our budget and our style. I'm from the Cape originally, but we live in Maryland now, so it was important to us to have someone local to help with organizing everything. We ended up choosing her partial planning package. From the start, Jyl was so responsive to all my questions and emails! She helped keep me on track throughout the whole process in terms of hiring vendors, ordering supplies, and making sure the details I hadn't even thought of were taken care of. And having her there on the day of the wedding was fantastic! She did a great job setting everything up with my family and was fantastic about keeping things moving along throughout the night. Afterwards, she made sure that everything was packed up and cleaned up so we didn't have to worry about anything. Overall, I would definitely recommend Jyl to anyone looking to plan a Cape wedding!

Jyl was an amazing asset to our wedding. From meeting with her to look at venues, to emails with vendor options, phone calls to check in, and decoration ideas, her love of this work truly showed. Deciding to hire Jyl was the best decision I made for our wedding on Cape Cod! We did not live locally, but Jyl knew which vendors for us to choose from and told us what kinds of questions to ask. Our wedding day went off without a hitch. We can't thank her enough!

You won't go wrong with hiring Jyl for your wedding! I nearly did not hire a day-of coordinator but I am so glad we hired Jyl and her team! She was definitely the most valuable vendor of the day and is the reason that my family remarked several times how impressed they were at how smoothly the day unfolded. Having Jyl around allowed both of us (bride and groom) to relax and happily enjoy the day. I am also grateful that our immediate family members who traveled from afar could also relax and enjoy the day. From my first interview with Jyl, I was impressed with her professional yet warm personality. I interviewed a range of coordinators in terms of price and found Jyl to be the most impressive in terms of her experience and her demeanor. I chose Jyl because she seemed to be the most capable and organized person who would be detail oriented and reliable and she totally delivered! She is friendly yet keeps all discussions on point and efficient, which I really appreciated when I was short on time between wedding planning and work. I really appreciate that she helped with a thorough timeline even prior to the wedding. On the actual day, she remained very organized and was a calming presence. She managed a complicated day-of schedule that included a chapel, reception venue which required decorations, shuttle, over 100 guests, a wedding party of 10 adults, and all in 99F weather with a smile on her face! We would recommend Jyl to anyone getting married in a heartbeat!

I cannot properly express in words how phenomenal Jyl with Deering Events is. If you are searching for someone to fully plan your wedding or any other major event or to just be a guide and help along the path, stop looking now and hire Jyl. She is extremely professional, beyond well organized, prompt, and everything you need even if you don't know it yet. Without her, our wedding would not have happened let alone being the incredibly epic event that it was. Jyl literally saved us from ourselves and basically planned everything despite our best intentions and effort to get in her way and try to do it on our own. We never felt pressured from her though, she was always quick to respond to our questions and meltdowns and she knew right when to nudge us along to make sure everything went off without a hitch. On the day of, she handled everything and everyone with grace and poise, was fully prepared and never panicked, and followed through on everything for us so that we could truly focus on each other, the day and all our gathered friends and family. I could not give a higher recommendation to Jyl and Deering Events.

When I decided to get married in the Cape, a place I had never visited before I knew I would need some help. I found Jyl and loved the fact that she was from North Carolina so I reached out. From our first conversation I knew she would be the perfect person to assist with our big day; she was easy going, organized and had all the connections in the Cape. Throughout the process she made sure I was on track with planning, reached out and communicated details to vendors for me, and even accepted packages for my wedding so I wouldn't have to worry about traveling with items or shipping from Florida last minute. On the day of she pulled my entire vision together seamlessly and made sure I had nothing to worry about. I couldn't have asked for a better wedding coordinator. I was lucky to have her throughout the entire planning journey!

Jyl was simply AMAZING, and I would recommend her to any bride who dreams of having a stress-free, beautiful wedding day. We found Jyl through a family friend's recommendation, and started working with her about 7 months before our wedding. This ended up being one of the best decisions we made in our wedding planning process! From the second we engaged Jyl, she was there for us every step of the way - helping us decipher vendor contracts, offering ideas on decor, and reminding us of the most pressing items on our to-do lists. Leading up to the big day, there were a few things that caused me some anxiety (street closures, personnel changes with other vendors, etc.) and Jyl reassured me every time that she had it handled. Even still, being a realist, I went into the wedding weekend expecting at least a few small hiccups. However, I am THRILLED to report that the entire wedding weekend could not have possibly gone more smoothly and amazingly. I literally cannot think of one single thing that went wrong or any tiny detail that was forgotten. Jyl was just so on point from beginning to end, and it truly made an amazing impact on the wedding day. I was able to enjoy the happiest day of my life with all of my family and friends, knowing that I didn't have to worry about a thing because Jyl had it covered. We were so thrilled with Jyl's services that my sister will also be working with Jyl for her wedding next year. I truly cannot recommend Jyl enough to any bride out there!

Jyl is a thoughtful and meticulous planner. I've worked with her a handful of times and fully appreciate everything she does for me and the couple. Shes professional, organized and most importantly so easy to communicate with. Every event with her has been wonderful with great clients. Also, I love her honesty and candid nature. It makes working with her a breeze and an easy recommendation.

Hiring Jill as your Wedding Planner will be one of the best decisions you make! Jill is full of incredible ideas to help enhance your esthetic and your overall design of your day. She has incredible relationships with local vendors from Boston to Cape Cod and beyond!

5 weeks later, and my husband and I are still gushing non-stop over the incredible Jyl and her supreme organization skills, unparalleled patience, and tremendously awesome and gracious attitude about everything. Jyl was instrumental from the very beginning of our Cape Cod wedding planning - answering every random question and keeping us on track with timelines and budgets. She went out of her way multiple times, whether it was meeting in person, getting on a call with my mom, or connecting us with previous clients so we could buy items second-hand. We had what felt like a complex wedding schedule - 2 locations pre-wedding and then 5 locations transitions over the course of the night. But Jyl handled it ALL seamlessly, like the pro that she is. If you are looking for a wedding planner, don't look any further! Jyl is the best, and we are forever grateful to have had her by our sides for this magical day.

We planned our perfect Cape Cod wedding from halfway across the country with the amazing help of Jyl Deering. Jyl Deering was our full-service planner for our July 2018 wedding. At the time, we lived in St. Louis, MO and being so far from the Cape made it tough to know where to begin. We interviewed several local wedding planners over the phone and Jyl was the only one we wanted to meet in person. After an in-person meeting we knew without a doubt we wanted to work with her. Jyl is relaxed yet professional, always positive, and highly responsive. We miss talking to her regularly! Jyl has a thorough understanding of the wedding business and deep knowledge of the vendors in the Cape area. Over the course of 10 months she kept us on track with all details of planning our event. She saved us tons of time by finding vendors that matched our style and budget. And when it came to our rehearsal and wedding day, Jyl was INVALUABLE. Honestly, there was not a single thing we worried about because Jyl had everything so perfectly coordinated. There are many wedding planners out there, but Jyl stands apart. We HIGHLY recommend Jyl.

We worked with Jyl for our October wedding in Cape Cod and she was truly an incredible partner. Helping us with month-of planning, Jyl offered smart guidance and suggestions as we finalized plans, helpful input when we were stumped on a question, thought ahead and picked up tasks, and ensured that our wedding day was seamless and that all involved from guests to other vendors/partners were happy. In addition to being incredibly professional and excellent at her job, Jyl was also a pleasure to work with and we really enjoyed collaborating with her. We are very grateful for her help and will never forget the huge role she played in our magical, special day, and would recommend her to anyone with confidence.

We used Jyl for our rehearsal and day-of coordinator and she was great! Even though we only had her for those specific days, we were able to tap into her expertise and ask her questions throughout our planning. She was very responsive, knowledgeable and accessible - even joining our vendor calls/meetings whenever possible. She made us feel prioritized throughout the process and was all over the details. She also made sure that things went smoothly leading up to and on our big day. If anything went wrong on our wedding, to this day I still don’t know about it!

Ashley and Jyl were SUPER attentive from the beginning until the day of. Not only were they on top of everything, they were kind enough to remind me to get things done (which made everything run super smoothly on our biggest day). Would highly recommend! :)

Megan Herman was the wedding planner for our daughter's wedding in Gloucester last month. As a Professional Organizer myself, my friends could not understand why I needed a wedding planner. However I knew that without someone else taking care of the details I would not relax and enjoy the day and our guests. From months out when we first met right up to the day of the wedding, Megan took care of everything. She asked all the right questions, giving recommendations, as appropriate; did not judge our decisions, some of which stemmed from different cultural backgrounds; liaised with the vendors both before and during the wedding; and produced the most incredibly detailed timeline to keep everything on track. But most of all, she worked SO HARD the entire wedding day. I totally relaxed knowing she had taken care of everything and then some. She was a true delight and I cannot recommend her highly enough.
