m Marité took off my shoulder the fear, stress and pressure of all that entails a Miami destination wedding process while the bride and groom in Paris, and us in the Washington DC Metro area. Everything went so smooth even though the covid pandemic was still lingering, thanks to the efficient tools she placed in our hands, the wonderful vendor referrals that were on point, the coordination of their roles, realistic timelines, wise advise and meticulous work as she worked closely with us, our calendars and the Hyatt Regency, Coral Gables,Fl.. Thanks to all that and their efficient attention to every detail everything was handle with great care, nothing broke or was missing while was transported, all packed carefully and most importantly at the end of the wedding ceremony and reception Sylvia and Luiz’s dreamed wedding vision came true alongside all friends and family that were looking forward to be together for a long time. Wonderful music played and magic was made! Finally, together we all had a fun and sweet unforgettable time celebrating their love. We will never forget every big and small effort Marité, and her team, as well as the vendors she referred to put forward. Thank you, God bless you! It is key to find the perfect fit with your wedding planner. We were fortunate to come across Marité Copado and EBJ Events during the early stages of the wedding planning process. We highly recommend them. She is experienced, was always welcoming, easy to talk to in a way that inspired us with confidence that all would be perfect. Also treated us with honesty, patience, humbly took very good care of us and became our best friend during the planning months. Marité was the sharp guiding light that only an exceptionally hard working professional of her trade could be with such a warm gentle soul and a lot of fun to work with …look no further; you will enjoy the ride and love her too!

t we started working with her, it was clear that we had made the right choice. Jess seamlessly took over our wedding planning, stepping into a challenging situation with grace and confidence. Her organizational skills were apparent from the beginning, and it was such a relief to know that we were in capable hands. Her ability to not only understand our vision but also execute it flawlessly was truly impressive. One of the standout qualities of Jess was her exceptional communication. Throughout the entire planning process, she consistently kept us informed and involved in every decision. This level of transparency made us feel valued and assured that our wedding was in good hands. When the big day arrived, Jess truly shined. She orchestrated every detail with precision, ensuring that everything unfolded according to plan. From the setup to the timing of events, she managed it all effortlessly. She also brought three amazing assistants T'arra, Marijose, and Kat. These remarkable individuals were not only incredibly helpful but also went above and beyond to make our day special. T'arra, in particular, deserves special mention. Going that extra mile, she even tended to a small detail like putting a bandaid on my toe when my shoe was causing discomfort. It's these thoughtful gestures that really show the dedication and care Jess and her team put into their work. Jess's meticulous planning and unwavering attention to detail meant that we didn't have to worry about a single thing. We were able to fully enjoy our wedding day, knowing that Jess had everything under control. Her expertise and professionalism are unparalleled, and we can't thank her enough for making our day truly magical. Jess is a wedding planning superstar. She turned what could have been a stressful experience into a joyful and seamless journey. Her ability to adapt, communicate, and execute flawlessly, along with the exceptional support from her team, made our wedding day a dream come true. If you're looking for a planner who not only meets but exceeds your expectations, Jess is the one to choose.

efficiency and prompt response to all our questions- our wedding day was not only spectacular but we really got to enjoy every moment without having to worry about details and hiccups in the weeks leading up to the wedding, and most importantly the big day itself. Jess responded to every question, no matter how tiny a detail, and made excellent recommendations for every little thing- from big vendor decisions to details like wording our wedding website and invitations, guest list management, contingency plans for weather. It was amazing. Each and every vendor that Jess recommended was TOP NOTCH. We had not one issue with vendors. Jess worked seamlessly with our venue. When there were last minute changes to be made to the catering order, Jess provided guidance that made those changes easy to implement. When could not fit a cake/dessert tasting into our busy schedules, Jess provided a vendor recommendation and lets just say- no one was disappointed in the amazing desserts. On the day of the wedding EBJ had team member Leslie by my side all day long, answering every question I had, helping me get everything I needed, holding my purse, etc. It was a dream. They also went above and beyond to help with every detail of our wedding party—truly not one of us had to worry about the details because EBJ handled it all. In fact, they were so on top of things/schedule that we were actually ahead of schedule on the wedding day. EBJ is worth their price and then some—we would not have had the wedding day we had without them. I would hire Jess and her team to plan any wedding, or even any party again in the future. You will not regret hiring them!

anete’s communication was also TOP NOTCH the month leading up to the big day, she was there for me every step of the way. Her communication was fantastic. When our photographer canceled on us a week before, Janete put us in touch with one of her preferred photographers ASAP, who turned out to be excellent and we were so lucky to have hired them. On top of being the most amazing assistant the day of, Janete put in thoughtful details in everything we worked on, from the way the venue was set up to the meticulous timeline she laid out for us. As mentioned, Janete and Edith were both amazing the day of!!! They went above and BEYOND to help me and my bridal party. Both made it so I didn’t have to worry about a single thing during the day/night. It was a huge bonus to have pictures on my phone the next day - Edith made sure of that and I was so appreciative of this, knowing photo edits take a while. Hiring EBJ Events was easily one of the best decisions we could have made during the planning process. They really are the best at what they do and we are so thankful for Janete and Edith. We love you guys!!!! Thank you so much for everything

he took care of everything else for me and emailed all my vendors and scheduled everything with them for the day of the wedding. It was amazing to not have to worry about dealing with those details as I was getting closer to the wedding. The day of the wedding she kept checking up on me while making sure everything at the venue was going seamlessly. Her and her team kept me on track and on time while making sure I wasn’t stressing about every detail. It rained for a little while at my wedding and I was truly so scared and nervous that it would ruin the night. But Marite made sure to get all the lights and music back on and make sure that my party started back up. In the end, it was an amazing night and I owe so much of it to Marite and her team at EBJ for working so tirelessly to make sure the night was exactly what I wanted.

s a destination wedding, at Vizcaya Museum and Gardens and NOT an easy venue to plan when you live out of state. I would say if you have Jessyca in your corner….TRUST her process!! On the day of the wedding it seems that I would start to voice a concern, and the team was “already on it”. They read my mind constantly. They picked up pieces that others did not deliver on, even redesigning the seating card table on the spot when the original design failed us miserably. I am still not sure how they found cutters, lighters and ashtrays that evening, but the cigar table was in full swing and no one ever knew that the MOB forgot to bring them! Bending and flexing throughout the night to ensure my baby girl had the perfect evening. Jessyca and her team we creative and nimble all night long. Our guests are telling us this was the best wedding the have ever attended….and people from NY have pretty high standards. I would highly recommend Jessyca (and you need to request Leslie, Tarra, Shurooq, Briana, Julissa and Kat) for your next big event.

I had complete faith in Jess, Janete, and the EBJ team on our wedding day. They made it so our families could enjoy the day. I can't say enough good things about the EBJ team.

ng EBJ, from that day forward my life got significantly easier. I loved Jess's team, truly one of my favorite parts about planning the wedding was getting to talk to my planner. From the first call I knew I had made the right decision. They were honest with me at every turn making the right recommendations and connections is what really sets these ladies apart from any other planners I had met. With going to events and venues you meet a lot of vendors and planners. Let me tell you the professionalism and services they provide is unparalleled. Time flew when it came down to getting to the wedding day, but everything was totally under control thanks to my EBJ ladies who kept everything on a timeline and gave me tasks in chunks so as to not overwhelm me. I had a lot going on personally finishing my degree and working full time while planning the wedding. The month of the wedding was really the moment my Fiancé (now Husband) knew just what an amazing decision it was to have hired EBJ. Managing all the vendor relationships, due-dates, time frames and payments were just some of the things Marite was handling for me at the time, my fiance looked at me and said " WOW I had no idea there would be so much to do (typical) i'm so glad you have them keeping you on track". Marite was my angel!!! I swear this woman can do it all. She made sure everything went smoothly and that my dream was executed flawlessly. I could cry just thinking about how much stress and anxiety she took away from me. She was there to answer every question, call and text I sent her way. I truly had 1000000 % faith in her and her team taking care of all the details. I'm not exaggerating when I tell you my wedding day was so relaxed and easy. I enjoyed every detail of our special day that we had been planning for so long and that was all thanks to her team. I truly don't know how people get married without planners and I can say without a doubt I would never recommend anyone doing it without EBJ. Special shoutout to Marite, and Leslie for making my wedding day extra special from the beginning of the day down to the last second they exceeded every expectation I had. If I could do it all over again and didn't have the budget to hire them I would rather walk down the aisle naked and spend my dress money on my planners. That's how much I am telling you, you need to hire them. It's been a month since the big day and I still have so many people commenting on just how amazing the wedding was. I was told by so many of my family and friends that it was one of the best weddings they've ever been to and I attribute all of that to these ladies. There will never be enough words to say thank you again.

My wedding day was everything I imagined plus more. Jessyca helped recreate my vision into an ultimate fairytale wedding. It was simple yet so elegant and so incredible. I mean, I could go on for days about all the details that made EBJ the perfect company to bring my vision to life. Many brides have stories about their how something went wrong in their wedding and how their wedding planner saved the day! I can't say that because NOTHING went wrong on my day. I can pretty much say that Jessyca held my hand from the moment I hired her, until the moment my husband held my hand that day at the alter. EBJ did everythiiiiing to perfection. EBJ went above and beyond and did so gracefully. To say the least, when my husband and I got back to the room after the reception, Jessyca had taken rose petals and created a walk way to the room where she placed my bouquet and wedding cards on the bed and shaped more petals next them to form a heart!!!!!! I'll never have enough words or gestures to thank Jessyca and her team for all they did for us on our special day!

Like most brides it was hard for me to imagine offloading control and trusting, and right after we started our professional relationship I totally forgot about that anxiety with how proactive and detail oriented she is. It was so meaningful that I really looked forward to our catch up calls, and how soothing it would be to hear her calm demeanor as she rattled off everything she was totally on top of (it boggled my mind). Every single vendor we booked was recommended by her, and all my bridesmaids commented on how awesome our beauty, video, and photo team were (could write an essay on each of these vendors, who I wouldn't have had without Jess). She answered every stressed out late night email with compassion, while in the background she was handling probably 100 things I wasn't even aware of which just left me complete space to think about the little details that were personal to us. She was super practical on budget and took all of our cues on cost to heart and managed all vendor relationships especially when certain ones strained a little. If you couldn't tell, I could talk about Jess and the EBJ team for hours!!!!

Jess and the EBJ Team is as good as it gets! The EBJ Team exceeded our expectations and gave us a wedding beyond what we imagined. These ladies are professional and most of all REAL. We had a real-life wedding nightmare come true and these lad...
ies worked their magic to save our day. We are forever grateful for Jess and her team! When we started our wedding planning journey, we didn’t even know what a planner was or what wedding planning entailed. We knew we needed help but didn’t know where to start (especially in Miami). We had a lot going on in our lives and we wanted to enjoy the process and have a personalized wedding unique to all the others we had been to. *Enter EBJ Team* We had a phone call with Jess and we knew we found our match. The cost of hiring Jess and her team is nothing compared to what these ladies produced for our wedding day. The EBJ Team is worth their weight in gold. Throughout the process, Jess was supportive, professional, and creative. She consistently offered ideas and her perspective at each part of the planning process. (Even down to what napkin, linen, and charger combo that would look best in our reception space!) Jess has a lot of experience in planning events, and it showed in her interactions with us. It gave us the confidence to really think and make decisions based on what we wanted. At no point did we feel pressured or judged in this journey. We felt that we had a team on our side that truly heard what we wanted and the experience to make it happen. If you are on the fence about hiring Jess and EBJ, do it. Thank you, Jess and the EBJ Team for giving us the wedding of our dreams!

WE HAD THE WEDDING OF OUR DREAMS BECAUSE OF EBJ! I remember calling Jessyca when we first got engaged in 2020 (yay, Covid!) and immediately fell in love with her work ethic and overall demeanor from a single phone conversation. On first impres...
sion, she was the kind of woman who could handle anything! Between personal family health and family dynamic issues…our wedding finally happened 3 years later! Jessyca was every bit of that first impression----she is a woman that could handle anything! The details of our wedding were planned with a bi-coastal time difference standing in our way. Even with us living across the country in a different state than our planned nuptials, Jessyca checked in every week and made sure we stayed on top of everything ahead of schedule. She answered every text, every email and every phone call promptly and efficiently. She literally made miracles happen for our wedding with vendors deciding they could not perform certain tasks with covid changing pricing and insurance parameters on us. For our rehearsal dinner we had Leslie and Marite helping which was more than we could have hoped for. The hotel made us run late due to check-in issues, only giving my now husband 20 minutes to get ready. They made up for lost time and kept the show moving! For our wedding day we had Leslie, T’arra, Liz and the queen herself…Jessyca. We had so many moving parts with our insane idea of planning an integrated Filipino-Indian wedding. There is no way our wedding would have run as smoothly as it did without Jessyca and her team. I could sit here all day and sing EBJ’s praises, but what I found to be the most profound about our wedding was the feedback we received from guests. We were told, repeatedly, our wedding was nothing short of AMAZING. A text I received from a friend and his wife read, “It was objectively one of the best weddings both of us have ever been to.” I’m not exaggerating when I say, EBJ was the reason why our wedding was so breathtakingly memorable. My husband and I will forever be grateful for Jessyca. She was the first person we hugged as husband and wife! One of my favorite memories from the happiest day of my life…aside from marrying my best friend…was dancing with Jessyca at our reception in celebration of a successful wedding day. Our wedding day would not and could not have been as unforgettable as it was if it weren’t for EBJ. Run. Don’t walk. Hire EBJ for the most magical wedding, ever.

Several times throughout the planning process, even my husband would say “man I’m so glad we have Jess” - This was the same guy that initially told me “You can plan it on your own”. Ladies, trust me, you don’t want to plan this day on your own. The day of the event, Shalimar and Leslie were amazing! So professional and meticulous to every detail and with everyone. When I had a question or called either of them, there were in my room within seconds. They had their clip boards and check lists and made sure everything went as smoothly as possible. I was able to enjoy my day to the fullest. I had no awareness of time, I just soaked up every minute and trusted the EBJ team to keep me informed of what was next and make sure my vision came to life, and that’s exactly what they did. Most importantly, because of their attentiveness to the timeline, we were ahead of schedule which made the day even more enjoyable because there was no rushing to get to the next thing. I can truly say I enjoyed planning my wedding. I did not feel stressed - which is common for most brides. This is a once in a lifetime event and you should be able to enjoy every single step of the process, from the planning to the day of, and I can honestly say Jessyca and the EBJ team made that possible. I know for a fact, my day wouldn’t have gone as smoothly as it did without these ladies on my team. Thank you, ladies, so much for everything and I’m so glad that you were part of my special day!

seem to be on the phone. They are trying to get your business, they will play nice. Long story short, after a lot of anxiety and even getting lawyers involved to sue our former wedding planner who didn’t want to give us our money back for the services she never provided, we reached out to our photographer, who gave us a few names. From there we narrowed down to another planner who was already booked on our date but mentioned she had worked with Jess before and told us to get in touch with her. That’s how we found EBJ Events, and we are glad to report our wedding was a success!!! Jess was actually also booked on our date, but she had her associate Marite Copado be our planner. I can’t describe how thoughtful and caring Marite was from the moment we jumped on our first call with her! Marite had great ideas, was extremely responsive, had a keen eye to detail, and would come to our calls ready to tackle things down and move on to the next phase of the planning. Not to mention all the vendors she recommended and details she brought up we had not even considered but were of essence. EBJ (and Jess) provide a great system to track down everything wedding related. We had access to her platform where we could put down every single possible detail you could think of: from your dream gallery to your guests, from a venue floor plan to the seating, every single vendor, a to do list for both bride and groom. Literally, no detail goes missed and everything is all in one place, which makes life so much easier. Towards the end of the planning process and as we got closer and closer to our date I started getting extremely anxious whether or not the wedding was going to run smoothly, mainly because my venue didn’t have the greatest team on board and communication definitely wasn’t their forte, but Marite kept reassuring me she was on it and it would be perfect. Which, ta-da, IT WAS! EBJ is 100% recommended and worth every penny. We had such a great wedding. Day off I wasn’t stressed about a thing. Everything was on schedule, all vendors on the same page. And if there were any hiccups, I didn’t see them happening. Hire EBJ, you won’t regret it and your event will be the most memorable one yet!

I reached out to Jess a little over a year ago with more questions than you can imagine. She helped me figure out what package works best for me, which tells you a lot about her because it was not the most expensive one, and teamed me up with her assistants who made what my husband and I had in our head come to life. If you’re thinking I got time, I can do this, my venue gave me the list of vendors so I don’t need a planner, stop. They are more than just that. The amount of time they spend with you to make sure to get every detail right, not forget anything, and keep you calm throughout the entire process (not just the day of) is priceless. I couldn’t have imagined to have been so chill..even my best girls were impressed of how relaxed I was! Haha I didn’t have to worry about anything the day of. On the day of my wedding, I also got another assistant and she was just as amazing as my planner. She helped steam my dress (even though I had gotten it professionally steamed the day before), ran from room to room to make sure the groomsmen and family were all on time getting ready, went through checklists with me, calmed my nerves and provided reassurance when needed without me even asking. I later found out there were a few hiccups on the day of my wedding and I had absolutely NO IDEA. Please stop reading and give her a call and talk to her, you won’t regret it!

from friends is " where is your planner"? I could be petty and talk about little things like canceling a meeting five minutes before. But the main issue is the actual day of your wedding. I was 2 1/2 hours later to the venue then I wanted to be. I dont feel like just sending an owner of the hair salon a text to confirm my completion time isn't good enough. The owner wasn't even with me. I did reach out to the owner a week before bc I texted Shalimar about the hair schedule and I got no reply. It just snowballed from there. Then I found out with proof today that my planner Shalimar was in the back talking through my entire ceremony!! I do think she is a nice person but she is not ready to be a planner on her own. That's my opinion. I just feel I was having to follow up with the caterer. I was waiting for answers but fininally had to reach out to Molinas myself. My wedding flowers were the wrong color for the boutonnieres if she was aware of what my colors were and involved more I feel like she could've addressed that when the florist was there. Looking back I don't really know what I paid 3,500. For? To me it's not worth that much money. I thought I was getting Jess as my planner but I guess I didn't look through the contract enough and specify that I thought I was getting her. I don’t know if things woulda been different but she never followed up with me either sooo… I woulda rated higher I guess if it was cheaper bc it’s to over priced for what you get. I did 80% of it on my own anyways.

hings without telling me and some things I never found out until that day. Not being able to log on to our portal system because you didn’t have a computer I know did not help either. As your planner, I was jumping back and forth from your venue set up to you as much as possible. The hair and make up mix up was by the owner and her teams miscommunication sadly and not only did she apologize but she offered a free service to you knowing it was her teams error for not reading what time you specifically had to be ready by they only read the full end time. I’m unsure how I was speaking through your whole ceremony when I barely had a voice as you know that weekend of your event. I got tested for COVID and was negative but was voiceless and was still there making sure with the team that everything got done. After sometime you told me that the flowers were the right color in the light and that you liked them but from you I only ever received the number of the florist and not any other information which was also difficult for me since they never answered. Working with professional vendors, to us, is better than cheaper vendors. Your day was beautiful and all guests and vendors were saying the same, you even said thank you and everything to me at the end so I’m sorry but this review is a little shocking after that night but I do wish you both the best and hope you had an amazing day - Shalimar.

As soon as I hired her I began to understand that having her on board was an absolute necessity and life saver. Marite and EBJ are the best investment you can make to ensure that you will be able to enjoy your wedding and be present for all of the beautiful moments you worked so tirelessly to plan! Marite is the only reason I was able to feel calm and let go of all the details on the day of my wedding. I had the best day of my life because I felt 100% secure that she had everything under control at all times. Marite – THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! Xoxo Shira

t and the fact that she has a working relationship with these vendors makes everything go smoother the day of. She kept us on track with the wedding planning tool to ensure we were not scrambling at the end. Throughout the process my family/friends would check in to see how wedding planning was going, low key expecting for me to say I was stressed out, but I never was and that's because of the structure that Jess provided us. Our wedding was at the end of January for optimal weather in Miami. While we expected it to be cool, we did not expect it to be the coldest weekend of the year due. Our venue was fully outdoors, which did not make the weather situation any better. The week of, Jess helped me rearrange the layout and secure heaters to make the cold slightly bearable for our guests to still enjoy the party. The day of, the EBJ team (Jess, Shali, Olivia, Janete) made sure everything was taken care of, from making sure we got appetizers, drinks, and dinner right away and checking in to see if there was anything we needed throughout.

st food, a DJ, and a venue, right? How hard could it be?? But like you, we looked for reviews and advice from our married friends and in the end decided to hire EBJ to help us plan our big day… BEST DECISION EVER! MONEY 100% WELL SPENT! WE WOULDN’T HAVE DONE IT ANY OTHER WAY OR WITH ANYONE ELSE! EVENT BY JESS BLEW OUR EXPECTATIONS OUT OF THE WATER! Jess, Shalimar, Janete, and Liz truly went above and beyond from day one! First, finding a venue! Who knew there were so many to review, and the contracts, and what’s included vs what’s not… EBJ made sure we had appts to check out only those venues that fit our style and budget helping us land Hacienda Los Robles which checked off all our boxes! Then came the real planning… Dipp Photography, Dipp Photobooth, Videographers, DJ’s, Flowers, Caterers, Cake, Decorations, Wedding Gown, Tux Rentals, Hotels, Shuttle and Car Services, Budgeting, Timelines, Vendor Contracts, and Payments - Its a lot! But EBJ kept everything organized online in the wedding planner software/app that was extremely easy to use. Jess walked us through options for absolutely everything helping us decide what was worth it and what wasn’t based on her experience. She paid for herself with the money and time she saved us! It took us a year to plan the perfect wedding, and it all started with hiring Jess. Our wedding day was perfect! One thing we heard from a lot of our married friends was that “You don’t really get to enjoy all the details of your wedding day, it's more for your guest than it is for you.” But WOW Jess and the team really destroyed that stereotype! We truly felt like we were invited guests to our own wedding thanks to EBJ. From staying on top of whatever we needed throughout the day to getting us our own plate of appetizers and cocktails during the cocktail hour, or making sure we were able to enjoy our dinner by literally guarding our couples table so we could eat in peace without being interrupted by friends and family wanting to take photos with us (sounds silly but it made the world of a difference - we were able to enjoy the food we had catered!!). We can’t imagine handling everything the EBJ team did for us and the wedding without feeling stressed throughout the whole thing… Worth every penny. Thank you, Jess, Shalimar, Janete, and Liz! Truly, and from the bottom of our hearts, we loved having you all with us on this journey and process of planning our special day. We are blessed to have enjoyed every aspect of our wedding day and we owe a lot of that to you girls!

he balcony pool in Mexico on my honeymoon on the other side of the wedding craziness.. I PROMISE I won't steer you wrong... To begin, I was terrified to pull this wedding off. I knew I needed a planner, that was no question, but who?!?! There is such a selection, how did I know which one was going to be the best fit? I sent out the generic message on Knot and Wedding Wire and all the corresponding websites to get price info and read some reviews. Initially, the first planner to get back to me I hired. She said all the right things (but not many reviews...trust me, it matters!) LONG STORY SHORT she was terrible. We had to fire her and we lost our deposit on it. I mean, so terrible I had literal PTSD from her services and was sure our wedding was doomed. But, here I was in the same spot again looking for a planner and not trusting anyone. When I saw EBJ Events reviews, I decided to contact them, along with a few other planning companies. After tons of research and prayer, I decided to hire this company because I felt they were the most honest, straight forward, accessible people. I cannot cannot cannot cannot even begin to put into words how much this saved my wedding and my sanity. Now let me introduce the ACTUAL star of this wedding, Marite Copado. My personal angel. She was there for me every second of every single day I needed her. With my (now) husband and I both in the hospitality industry, we definitely have some high expectations. She blew us away. She handled all of my difficult to work with vendors and took all the pressure off of me. Recently losing my mom, and needing the perfect way to honor her at my wedding, I felt Marite genuinely understood me, and she helped me set up the perfect way to honor her. Listen to me, these reviews matter!! These are hundreds of brides who's weddings came together because EBJ assisted. And on the other side of my wedding and the previous planner PTSD, I can blissfully say Marite is your girl. So approachable. So dependable. A genuinely kind human being with a passion to make her brides dreams come true. She went to war for me when my vendors were giving me a hard time. She showed up for me in so many ways I can't say thank you enough. Thank you Marite and EBJ Events. Without your services, I wouldn't be on the other side of this wedding on my Mexico balcony with the same post-wedding bliss. 100/10 would recommend.

Where do I begin? Well, I hired Jessyca in June of 2020 right after I got engaged. I wanted to pretend that Covid wasn't happening and have something amazing to look forward to in the future: my wedding! I had interviewed a handful of planners,...
but Jessyca really stood out to me. Not only is she extremely organized, professional, and responsive, she was warm and personable and I could feel a connection with her immediately. We began planning for a January 2022 wedding. Jessyca's process shows brides exactly every detail they should focus on and when, based on how many months out you are. This checklist was so helpful in guiding in what I should be focusing on in the timeline of 1.5 years. Everything was going great and so many friends were looking forward to a "normal" wedding event post-covid.....Flash forward to December 2021 when omicron and panic start surging. In the 2 weeks leading up to the wedding, Jessyca helped me almost entirely revise my wedding plan to accommodate for Covid safety and changing numbers. Down the final day, Jessyca was on calls, emails, and working around the clock to make sure every concern, request, and question my eclectic family had was answered. On the days leading up to it, I was so panicked that my dream wedding wasn't going to be possible. But Jessyca's team worked their literal magic and made my vision come alive. I wish I could truly put in words what it felt like to walk into our ceremony and reception venue and quite literally see a dream come true. I was able to actually enjoy my day because I was surrounded by an amazing team. Jessyca and Jeanette were incredibly attentive to me and kept checking in to see what I needed. At one point after hours of shooting bridal looks, Jeanette brought me a sandwich. And another point when I looked tired, Jess ordered me a red bull. She's consoled me through very challenging obstacles and was always ( I mean always) responsive to emails or texts. I mean, you really can't get better customer service than this. At the end of the night, I was so happy and relieved and grateful for EBJ. After all, your wedding day should be enjoyed, not focused on the little stressful details and with EBJ, you will be in good hands. I am actually sad to say goodbye because we built such a great bond

ss exceeded all of my expectations from the moment I hired her through the whole wedding process. I was a covid bride that had a previous venue cancel on me in Michigan, so we made the decision we were going to switch to a destination wedding in Miami, Florida. After the experience I was having in Michigan, I made sure that I was going to thoroughly vet out my wedding planner in Miami. I threw out ever hurdle I could while I interviewed Jess and she passed every test with flying colors. After hiring her and starting the planning process I quickly found out that she was one of the most high level, organized, and experienced planners I could have ever found. She used a planning tool that made the experience very transparent and kept me on track - which is a dream for a control freak like me! Any thing I needed or wanted for my big day, she was ready with a plan to handle it. Whether I wanted a unique experience, specific vision, or just advice - she had me covered. I soon started calling her my 'fairy wedding mother' because it truly felt like she had a magic wand making my wishes come true. Just when I thought she couldn't get any better, she blew me away with her skills on the day of the wedding. There was so much that took place that I didn't know about because Jessyca was secretly handling it in the background - which is truly appreciated by any bride on her big day! It was seriously magical how everything came together and how she was managing all of the vendors, wedding party, parents, and guests. We even had a couple tough situations come up throughout the day due to me being an extra picky bride and Jessyca was there to say "I've got you!" Next think I knew she had the tough conversations and boom, we were all good! The most amazing final touch was that throughout the day and night Jessyca was taking pictures along side my photographer to help capture every moment - even when I wasn't there! I woke up the next morning to the lovely surprise of the photos and videos already being pre-loaded onto my phone for me to share with friends, family & social media. I could talk for hours about how amazing Jessyca and her team (Shalimar, Liz & Janete) was on the wedding day. They are truly a brides dream come true and worth every penny! If there is anything holding you back from hiring them, please do no hesitate and trust me when I say you will not regret it!!

truly able to relax throughout the whole process. One thing I loved about her is she never pushed me to do anything, she suggested things along the way and made sure to let me know they were only suggestions and I can do whatever I wanted. Jess was also very responsive whether I was reaching out through email or text, which is something I find very important in a vendor, but especially my planner. On the day of the wedding Jess was just as amazing, possibly even more. Again, I wasn’t stressed for one single second because I knew she and her team had it all taken care of. Speaking of her team, they were incredible too. Liz was with Jess at the venue making sure all went smoothly there. Shalimar was with me and my girls the entire day (and back and forth to the boys, keeping them in check). There wasn’t a single thing she wouldn’t do for me - she even got down on the floor and changed my ceremony heels to my reception shoes. Talk about feeling like a princess! Once the wedding was over, Shalimar gathered all my belongings and dropped them off at my hotel room so I wouldn’t have to worry about doing it myself. After an extremely long day, this was the icing on the cake. Those are just a few things I can say about Jess and her team, but I could really go on. To make a very long story short. I will be recommending EBJ Events to every single person I know that they’ll be so sick of hearing from me. Worth EVERY.SINGLE.PENNY.

I hate relinquishing control of things, especially important moments like getting married, but it was important to me to be able to be fully present on our special day and place my trust in someone who was experienced and despite my fiancé not “seeing the need for one” we hired her anyway, and it was the smartest move I could have made! Several months later the COVID-19 pandemic hit and squashed our wedding dreams lol forcing us to postpone to the following year. Jess was there to help me decide what was best for my fiancé and I and how to postpone everything. Finally the crappy year that was 2020 passed and 2021 was soaring by! Then 5 weeks before our wedding day, my original venue The Mayfair Hotel in Coconut Grove cancelled our event due to “construction.” We were blindsided and devastated to say the least. I called Jessyca sobbing hysterically and on the verge of a breakdown and she didn’t skip a beat, she jumped into “damage control mode” and asked me to take a deep breath lol and then asked if I trusted her, I remember saying “yes blindly” in between sobs. That same afternoon her and her team had made various calls to venues and we found one that blew the Mayfair out of the water, The Hotel Colonnade in Coral Gables. She had called and spoke to the team over at the Colonnade, explained our situation and asked that they try to match our previous pricing with the Mayfair! We ended up getting a phenomenal venue with a great price! After securing our new venue over the next few weeks leading up to the wedding Jess asked me for various information and details, she was super detail oriented and soooo organized, my fiancé and I were both so impressed! Then 1 week before our wedding the COVID cases started to climb back up in Miami Dade, I was petrified of another shutdown and postponement, but Jess would check on me daily and provide words of encouragement everyday up until the wedding day! The night before our wedding we met with Jess to go over the million details and items I wanted incorporated into the ceremony and reception, lol I thought she would run in the opposite direction when she saw the various boxes full of wedding stuff and she didn’t even bat an eyelash, she told me to let her handle it and to not worry. She gave me a few words of advice and “to just be present in the moment on our wedding day, to let someone else handle things.” FINALLY our wedding day came and I was so grateful that I had Jess, she was with me from the moment she arrived around 10am all the way till our reception ended! Anything I needed, anything anyone needed, her and her team were there! She handled sooo many things and people that day and so smoothly too that even my fiancé agreed that hiring her was one of the best decisions we have ever made. I am so incredibly grateful that she was there to help us through such a tumultuous wedding planning process and I would hire again 10 times over if I could lol. If you’re thinking of hiring Jess, do it, she will fight for you, listen to you, knock sense into you, put out fires for you, whatever you need she’s got your back and your best interest at heart.

She handled all the vendors questions about the venue or things I had NO IDEA about (electrical, room regulations, etc..). I loved how her checklists kept me on point early so that I had everything organized or completed and wasn’t last minute scrambling before the wedding. If I ever had random questions, Jess always responded to my texts/emails promptly. The day of she kept me calm and made me feel everything was under control. She had her team staying on top of the boys for pictures while she was with us. She had a schedule planned and everything was on point with the timeline. When we were taking pictures she would set up the area for them, pop the confetti in the background, fluff the dress, etc.. She went above and beyond for us and my husband and I were very confident the day was going beautifully. She made sure my entrance to the church was perfect. One of my bridesmaids broke her dress, she came to the rescue and fixed it. At pictures, someone forgot their sunglasses, her team had them. It was all the small things that made such a difference. She went above and beyond for us and alleviated any issues that arose on such a crazy day- without her I would never have survived! I couldn’t have imagined having a more perfect wedding, it was everything I wanted and more. She made the day even go more relaxed for my mother. Jess and her team told my mom to enjoy the wedding and they did the dress change with me for my performance. My hair got a little messed up on the beach pics, her team fixed it. What really stood out to me was at the end of the night my mother started to go get the cake cutters, toppers, gifts, signs, etc (things I had asked her to bring to her room)…Well she ran into Jess to find out, her team had already done that and put them in her room for us. I lost the sixpence in my shoe during a dress change and had no idea, they had it and put it in the room, I was so grateful as I wanted to keep this. My groom and I especially loved how they left an extra meal in our room as well as surprise when we got up there. Jess did everything possible to make our wedding the most magical night of our lives.

We ended up holding our wedding at the InterContinental in Miami, which was a beautiful venue. Inevitably, there were last minute changes and adjustments – but Lucy remained very cool, calm, and collected. Nothing fazed her and she always remained upbeat with ideas for solutions to any problems/obstacles that came up. On the day of the rescheduled wedding, Lucy and her staff covered so much ground, running around the hotel to get things for the bride and groom. She made sure our schedule stayed on track and took away a lot of the stress that normally comes with such a big life event. Overall, we highly recommend Lucy and EBJ Events!

If you are in need of an event coordinator, look no further! This is going to be a lengthy read but if you are like me and read reviews before choosing a company, it is well worth it! Choosing EBJ Events for our wedding was the best decision we...
ever made, and I will recommend them to everyone! My husband and I were the first of our group of friends and family to get married so we were new to this whole wedding thing. Jess, Lucy, and their team went above and beyond to help us not only plan our special day but make it everything we could have ever hoped it would be and more! We contacted Jess in 2019 after talking with other event planners and Jess stuck out to us. She was very personable and made us feel at ease. The second we got off the phone, I told my husband we did not need to contact anyone else; they were the ones! EBJ Events had our backs when we were looking for other vendor recommendations (photography, flowers, hair and makeup, DJ, etc,). Everyone they recommended to us that we went with were fantastic! Whenever we had a question, Jess or Lucy were always available. We were supposed to get married in June of 2020 but with COVID, we had to postpone to June of 2021. Lucy contacted and rescheduled ALL our vendors, got us new contracts with them all, and we did not have to worry about a thing. She kept us on track and at ease throughout our two-year wedding planning process. The checklist that EBJ uses is a life saver! It is so detailed and so easy to follow to make sure you do not forget a thing. Lucy scheduled calls for us with our vendors, joined our vendor calls and knew what questions to ask that we did not think of. They use a system called Aisle Planner which is very user friendly and contains all of your wedding information from guest names/addresses to creating your own custom floor plans for your ceremony/reception. Our wedding was at Margaritaville Hollywood Beach Resort. Lucy was there the night before to go over and take notes of how we wanted our décor set up and help us with the rehearsal. The day of, Lucy and the girls arrived and set everything up exactly how I envisioned it. I even forgot batteries for our LED candles and Lucy went out and got them for us. I did not have to worry about a thing the whole entire day. During the wedding, Lucy took care of everything and made sure we did not forget anything throughout the night as time flies so fast! They took care of all of our stuff and decor and brought it back up to our hotel room for us. We cannot say enough good things about EBJ Events. Thank you for making our wedding such an incredibly special day!

From the beginning of our planning process, our wedding planner, Jess was incredible! She made us feel heard, gave great suggestions and was always just an email or call away when we had any last minute questions. As a matter of fact, on the da...
y before our wedding, I needed 3 of our signature drink templates printed and she was on it and got it done immediately! Hiring Jess was the BEST decision we ever made. She was on top of everything, and it made the last weeks leading up to my wedding more fun than stressful! She called all the vendors, created an itinerary for the wedding day, ordered pizza for the kiddos, scheduled our COVID test that was necessary for our honeymoon to Maldives, and SO much more. On the day of our wedding, she did a phenomenal job making the venue look absolutely beautiful and captured the exact theme and feel that we were going for. I truly could not have made it through the day without her! Jess and her entire team definitely took care of us and were always two steps ahead of us with whatever we requested. They were prompt, organized, professional, creative and best of all FUN! We were very glad that we had her and her team!! Jess is extremely well connected and well known in the industry and her knowledge made wedding planning so much easier. She was well worth every penny - we honestly would have paid double after it was all said and done. I highly recommend her to anyone and we cannot thank her enough for helping us create our dream wedding!

I hired EBJ as my month of wedding planner. From the very first phone call with Jess I knew that I had made the right decision. I remember getting off the phone call and saying to my husband “damn she’s on point” LOL. It has been 3 weeks since ...
my wedding and my family STILL talks about how incredible she was. The day of my wedding she made sure I worried about nothing. Jess and her team set up my wedding decor EXACTLY how I wanted it and everything looks so beautiful. I did not have a wedding rehearsal and I am glad that I didn’t because it was not necessary. Jess did a great job at lining everyone up and giving them instructions. Any tiny hiccup that occurred she immediately took care of it. She even helped me with my wedding dress in the bathroom. If I needed ANYTHING she was there. My MOH had her newborn with her at the wedding and Jess would help my sister every chance she could. I’m pretty sure at one point the baby started crying and Jess stepped outside with him to not disrupt the wedding. This woman is just absolutely incredible and if you think that you don’t “need” a wedding planner think again. There are SO many tiny little things that start to come up as you near your wedding day that you wouldn’t even think of. If you want to actually enjoy your wedding day then a planner is what you need and not just any planner but JESS!

My husband and I are so grateful to have worked with EBJ Events for our wedding weekend. To start, they were present during our rehearsal dinner. Once the wedding party arrived, the welcome table was set up as well as the floral arrangements an...
d candles on the tables which the guests were sitting at. Unfortunately due to the unpredictable Miami weather, we needed to change the outdoor seating to inside, as it was going to rain. Thankfully, EBJ Events made sure to relocate everything and keep everything under control. Because of EBJ Events, the transition from outdoors to inside was easy and organized. As for our wedding day, Jessyca and her team made sure to have everything under control. Neither myself, my mom, maid of honor or any others of my wedding party had to worry about any hiccups that may have occurred, as Jessyca and her team took care of it all. In retrospect, they made the day flow so perfectly— I had 0 stress which no bride should have on her day. They made sure to communicate to all the vendors our expectations, so that everything can be executed properly on our special day. Lastly, upon arriving to our room, all of our belongings (i.e., table numbers, guest books, wedding gifts, bride and groom champagne flutes, wedding cake, extra photobooth pictures), were organized and in our room. These are things you don’t realize you need to collect once your wedding is over but Jessyca and her team made sure to save us that additional task, as we kept the party going the rest of the night. They even surprised us with decorating our wedding suite with rose petals. I can genuinely say after reflecting on my wedding weekend, hiring EBJ Events was one of the best decisions my husband and I made. Most importantly, Jessyca and her team (Shali and Sofía) were great. Shali and Sofia made sure to bring the bride and groom some bites to eat from the cocktail hour and that we always had our drink of choice throughout the night. Those are the details that make EBJ events stand out from other event planners!! Overall, if I could give 6 out of 5 stars, I would. I highly recommend Jessyca and her team—she is extremely organized which helps on your special day!!!
