Jumi has been an absolute dream of a wedding planner; far beyond anything we could have hoped for. From the very beginning of our planning journey to the final moments of our big d...
ay, she walked with us every step of the way, turning what could have been a stressful experience into one filled with joy, excitement, and peace of mind.
She is truly the kindest, most patient, most detail-oriented, and most flexible planner we’ve ever encountered. Jumi treated our wedding as if it were her own, ensuring every single vendor understood our vision and expectations to perfection. Her dedication and tireless effort brought our dream wedding to life in the most beautiful way imaginable.
Whether it was building our timeline, designing our website, finding the perfect venue, helping us stay within budget, or personally selecting the flowers for our décor; Jumi handled everything with grace, professionalism, and care. She advocated for us, guided us with wisdom, and made magic happen.
We were blown away on the wedding day how her and her staff went above and beyond to make sure the day went smoothly. Jumi personally went out of her way to doing tasks (not even listed on her contract) to ensure things went as planned.
Words honestly fall short in capturing how grateful we are for her. Jumi was truly a blessing in our lives, and we cannot recommend her highly enough. If you’re a couple looking for someone who will bring your vision to life while keeping you grounded, calm, and inspired: look no further. Jumi is simply the best, and we know she will be just as incredible for you as she was for us.
Jumi of Dunni Weddings recently helped us plan our wedding and I cannot even begin to describe how amazing she was. She handled all of our venue and vendor communication, construct...
ed our timeline for the day, organized our rehearsal & dinner, built out our seating chart with dietary restrictions/special accommodations, helped finalize all the details, and really made sure that everything and everyone was taken care of. I really appreciated the quick communication, check-ins, follow ups, and all the support she gave throughout our planning process. There were things I didn’t even think of or knew we needed to be doing for the wedding that she guided us through to help us make informed decisions. She made sure we were on track with our planning and that our day of went smooth. When there were hiccups, she was able to quickly manage those situations like a true professional. Jumi really helped me manage my stress during the planning process, I couldn’t have done it without her. To all the brides out there, a wedding coordinator is a MUST and Jumi is your girl!! You won’t regret it! I can’t thank her enough helping make our wedding day so beautiful.
Our experience with Jumi far exceeded expectations. Jumi is organized, detail oriented, a consummate professional, engaging and most importantly fun. Wedding planning has the poten...
tial to be highly stressful and anxiety provoking. Jumi minimized stress each step of the way and truly listened to the details to ensure our vision was manifested on our special day. She managed expectations with vendors and family to ensure our intentions were at the forefront. Friends and family who attended the wedding described it as epic and the best they have experienced. Our experience was truly a result of Jumi's dedication, commitment to understanding who we are to produce a thoughtful and personalized event. Jumi expected the unexpected and demonstrated quick problem solving to ensure our day was beyond our dreams. The day we met Jumi we felt confident she was the right planner and we were not disappointed at any time through our time working together. We recommend Jumi to plan any occasion. The outcome will be inclusive, welcoming, and memorable. Thank you for making our dreams come true - you are simply the best!
Jumi was an absolute pleasure to work with. I hired her as the day-of coordinator for a complicated Hindu and Zoroastrian ceremony. She was on point throughout the process, and ...
went above and beyond my expectations. She dealt with a very exacting venue, coordinated the vendors and all insurance requirements, helped with the planning process, and handled the day-of logistics and final walk through seamlessly.
Jumi Aluko was the Day of the Event planner for my daughter’s wedding ceremony and that was the best decision we had made! The ceremony was complex since we were honoring 2 religio...
ns – the bride’s Kerala Hindu religion & and the bridegroom's Zoroastrian religion. Jumi took the initiative to understand the ceremonies and executed everything flawlessly.
The venue for the ceremony was Agoura Event Center, a beautiful location but also very strict with rules. Jumi coordinated with the vendors on the timely completion of all the required forms and procedures and ensured that there were no hiccups. She visited the site proactively so she could guide the vendors effectively and independently. We had a very elaborate timeline and Jumi walked us through this and made sure we were all on the same page. On the day of the ceremony, Jumi sent me videos of the decoration to show me progress so I could rest assured everything was on schedule when my daughter was getting dressed!
Jumi is not only organized and meticulous but she is also very detail oriented and thinks through everything – be it hand sanitizers, signs for the guests or sending out emails about the weather. She is accountable, reliable and a pleasure to work with – could not ask for a better planner!
Jumi of DunniWeddings was an instant relief when planning my microwedding at home in April 2022. About 2 months before the wedding - after securing vendors, plans, materials - I r...
ealized that without a day-of coordinator and someone to help me organize the outline of the day, I was going to go into stress-mode both leading up to the event and on the day. Jumi provided a day-of coordinator and periodic meetings leading up to the wedding day.
The most valuable piece of hiring DunniWeddings was simply having her on the other end of the line leading up to the wedding. She asked the right questions to help me ensure that I had everything taken care of and was genuinely invested in our success. She even built out a package that fit me and the size of our wedding. It can be a huge plus to go with smaller vendors that have the flexibility to customize their service and this was the perfect fit for me.
Jumi is AMAZING! She pulled off the most amazing surprise proposal of the year in secret collaboration with my fiancé and brother, which is not an easy task considering how I am no...
t easily surprised and I always like to know what's going on! Everything was perfectly organized, from the venue to the decorations to the photoshoot, down to the yummy proposal sugar cookies! You will not be disappointed, A+++!
Jumi brings to the table an awesome personality and great professionalism . Her can-do spirit makes working with her even more exciting. She is very efficient and detail-oriented ...
while working to maximize your budget. Very recommended.
Jumi is a PHENOMENAL event planner and coordinator! I seriously couldn’t imagine our wedding without her. She was extremely professional and knowledgeable about all things wedding ...
as she was my wedding coordinator. As we know, weddings are stressful, but Jumi came in and was able to minimize stress and anxiety by creating a plan and vision for our wedding day. She was also a great sound board for ideas and advice throughout the process-particularly leading up to the wedding. She truly made my wedding events run smoothly and efficiently. I had a large wedding party of 18 and a guest count of 450 and Jumi was able to handle it all with her 2 amazing assistants (Kei-Laura and Taylor- so lovely) without breaking a sweat. She managed all vendors, scheduling, guests, family, wedding party, etc with a smile and most calming demeanor. What I loved is that she always checked in with my husband and I about how we were feeling and what we found valuable so that she can incorporate it in our day. She cares about her events and even more about her clients. I would use her again and again. Not to mention everyone loved her!! They swooped in and took care of any last minute emergencies without hesitation. Thank you for making our wedding day seamless, enjoyable and unforgettable!!! Truly great to work with.
This being our first wedding, I wasn’t sure what it all entails about the planning/production. My wife and I were discussing if it was a good idea to get a wedding planner/Corridin...
ator and I said let’s see what’s out there! Jumi came in our lives and took the weight of the world off our shoulders and made our wedding the most memorable day of our lives! Call DunniWeddings for your wedding and it’ll be the best decision you make!
We weren't sure about hiring a wedding planner but are absolutely thankful we did. Jumi was professional, punctual, and fully present for each of our meetings. She went above and b...
eyond anything we expected. She was worth every penny and more. Our wedding was a complete success and I didn't have to worry about a thing. Hire DunniWeddings for the wedding of your dreams to come true.
In the world of wedding planning, Jumi Aluko is nothing short of extraordinary! It’s hard to imagine how our wedding would have happened without her. My husband and I are “big idea...
” people with lots of grand visions and Jumi was able to manifest every vision we shared with her, creating long lists of possible vendors (we wanted small family businesses), serving as primary contact with the (very) troublesome venue, helping us to manage our budget, and coming up with countless ideas to make things as colorful, festive, and affordable as possible. We had over 300 guests invited (230 attended), and despite the herculean task of wrangling that many people and “helpful” family members, Jumi was a model of grace, patience, and good humor throughout the entire experience. In the time leading up to the wedding, we scheduled bi-monthly and weekly check-ins with her to keep us on task with our timeline, and she made herself 100% available for our increasing number of emails, texts, and phone calls as the date approached.
Knowing how important it was for us to highlight our Haitian culture, Jumi helped us coordinate sending West African Ankara fabric to nearly 30 bridal party members and family members across the country, and was also able to cut our catering budget by more than half by finding us a local Haitian caterer. Most impressively, our wedding was held in Boston while Jumi had recently relocated to Los Angeles—that’s right, *she coordinated everything from 3,000 miles away*. During the week of final wedding prep, Jumi brought us our favorite coffee every morning, helped pack gift bags for guests, ran errands to finalize hair and make-up appointments, printed seating charts and welcome posters, and made sure we were all laughing as she prioritized keeping us in good spirits before our big day. To put it simply, Jumi helped us manifest the wedding we always dreamed of. Thanks to her clear organizational skills, meticulous attention to detail, and endless creative energy, Jumi made us feel like the most joyous and carefree couple ever at our wedding!
Hard to say where to begin with Jumi. More than 10 years ago my wife and I had our wedding before Jumi even started DunniWeddings. We had a planner but there was some gaps that nee...
ded to be filled because things got so hectic. Because this is something that such first nature for Jumi, she took the initiative to be of a huge support in making things run smoother. She was all over the place with her help above and beyond what we asked her to originally, which was to be hostess. The coordination and attention to details that she was able to see was amazing, probably for things that we were not even aware that she did.
I can say that this special ability she has was something I could see in her even before our wedding. Her family always planned the best and most coordinated parties. They were always well planned and I saw Jumi running around behind the scenes to get things going and still have that big smile on her face ensuring that everyone is having a great time. These are great traits for one to in order to make a wedding a success. If I could have a say in it, I would have Jumi help with all three of daughters' wedding 20+ years from now! She is that awesome!!!
Jumi was absolutely PHENOMENAL. Our wedding was elegant, fun, and ran like a well-oiled machine. In truth, we don’t know what we would have done with out her. Very rarely do you fi...
nd someone that is so talented, so competent, so kind, and such a joy to work with. She took something that felt so overwhelming and made it the best day of my life. Honestly, this woman is a treasure and we are so honored that we get to work with her. You will be so glad you picked her. Our guests repeatedly said it was the best wedding on the year and that is not something we can take credit for. Jumi is absolutely amazing. We would recommend her a million times over.
