We utilized Elle R Jae Events services for Day of Coordination for our wedding day. From day one Fresh worked with us to execute our exact vision. She knows the city of New Orleans...
and all the inner workings of the bridal industry there, she gave us decor tips that helped us to save money without sacrificing design, and she was a solid sounding board when we had to change our date, location and time due to COVID19. The day of Fresh executed a flawless event that truly exceeded our expectations.
WHEW! I don't even know if there are words to capture how INCREDIBLE Elle R Jae Events is! Our wedding was imaginative and innovative, full of love and joy. Everyone was cared for ...
from the start of the weekend to the end, and there was no idea that Fresh wasn't able to capture!
Fresh was patient, creative, and a joy to work with. She went from being our planner to our friend VERY quickly. She solves problems thoughtfully, quickly and inexpensively (!), and solves them without worrying you! Apparently the power went out in our unconventional venue hours before our ceremony and NO ONE-not us, not our family, not our guests-knew ANYTHING until she told my husband and I the next day over cocktails!
We interviewed a few planners, but immediately, talking to Fresh was like talking to a friend. She understood our vibe, was very well-priced, and said "I spend your money like I spend my own." Music to our ears!
Weddings are always costly, and having someone who keeps an eye to your vision, doesn't sacrifice the spirit of the day while also respecting your bank account, and is an absolute pleasure for everyone to work with (even our very curious parents!) is a DREAM!
On the day of, her team was professional and discreet. There were several famous people at our nuptials and the staff was extremely professional. At no point, from planning to the day of, were or my now-husband stressed or anxious. We knew it would come together beautifully and it did. Fresh is incredibly talented, so professional and warm, creative, patient, thoughtful and fun! She's got excellent relationships with vendors so we scored deals all over the place and everyone was top notch!
I can not recommend this company enough. We will be using Elle R Jae for EVERY event we have from now on- no matter the city (she travels!)
No words will ever do Fresh justice as an event/wedding planner. My husband could tell from our first phone call she was my favorite of all the wedding planners I’d spoken with. S...
he understood, even celebrated, our requests and specificities. She had a connection or referral for everything we could think of and worked with our vision and budget. With the added challenge of destination wedding with a guest list of 160 people, from multiple states and countries. Three days of events, in inclement weather, and dozens of cancellations and last minute changes. The forecast called for a hurricane and flooding, Fresh kept a vigilant eye and kept us updated the whole way. When our bus company canceled, at the very last minute (45 minutes before pick up) she had a back up all ready lined up. She works every angle to make sure it all comes together. Fresh felt more like a friend than a wedding planner and I truly came to think of her as one. She was honest about expenses and vendors and what was and wasn’t worth our money. Fresh even back came to afterwards to help us send our things back to NY. People raves about the feel and experience of our wedding. She is a bundle of good energy with a beautiful eye for detail and creating a feeling for an event... she embodies the name Fresh and We are forever grateful to her.
Well first let me start by saying if I were able to give more than 5 stars I definitely would. Deciding to work with Elle R Jae events for my wedding was the best decision I could ...
have made. My wedding was in New Orleans, but I lived in Dallas. She recommended amazing vendors. Lynetria helped coordinate everything from meetings with the bakery, florist, venue, makeup artist and photographer. I gave Lynetria my vision of what I wanted and she blew my expectations out of the water. Everything was beautiful. I could go on and on about how wonderful and easy my life was during the wedding process. It was all possible because of Lynetria. She is the bomb.com. I highly recommend her and will use her for future events!
I was extremely overwhelmed with the wedding planning process: choosing a venue, decor, music, flowers, etc, and I never did exactly choose wedding colors. However, Fresh Johnson o...
f Elle R Jae Events literally held my hand the entire way and held my champagne during the constant picture taking on wedding day! Fresh is like a Fairy-God-Best-Friend who appears for your wedding process, sprinkles some sequin fairy dust, and assures you look fabulous, your horse and carriage is gorgeous and on time, and that your day is absolutely perfect with your Prince Charming. From choosing a venue, to envisioning all of the decor, to coordinating rehearsal dinner, and every single vendor; Fresh took my vague concepts (I said I wanted lace, glow sticks, a bible sign-in and lots of fun), and she brought it all to life in a perfectly planned and executed Wedding Day that would make any Cinderella proud. And to put icing on the cake, she had Custom Glow Sticks with our wedding hashtag made for our New Orleans 2nd Line send off! Fresh went over and beyond in every aspect and completely made the vision come true within the budget we planned for. The best decision I made was hiring Elle R Jae Events as my wedding planner.
My husband and I had made the (somewhat impulsive) decision to have our destination wedding in New Orleans this spring, but only had enough time to select our venue before we left ...
town. Our situation required that we hired all our vendors via the phone and the Internet, without face-to-face meetings which can make even the easiest going person nervous. I was very stressed out when we were informed by the venue that they required a professional day of coordinator and (friends and family members were not allowed to do this). We were so lucky to find Elle R. Jae (Fresh Johnson) through a referral from our florist, and I sincerely could not have been happier with her.
Fresh is the consummate professional, she always responds quickly, has great ideas, and is entirely respectful of what you, as a couple, want. She works very hard to deliver your vision within your budget and offers cost savings alternatives without being prompted. I felt like she was looking our for us the whole time.
It can be very nerve-wracking to plan a New Orleans wedding from San Francisco, but Fresh just put us at ease, I never worried about a thing. When we finally met face to face, for the first time, just a few short weeks before the wedding, she was like an old friend. Beyond being an organized and talented professional, she is a lovely person, and everyone who deals with her agrees she brings passion and energy to your event. I can’t say enough about her. If you have the chance to work with her, absolutely do! She is worth every penny, and you will enjoy having her lead your team. As she says " Relax, it will be fabulous."
OMG Lynetria and her staff did an awesome job to make sure my wedding was everything I expected. I trusted her totally with my special day and she did it an exceptional job! I am s...
o glad I decided to go with her and her team! Great Job!!!!
