When I first got engaged my friends all told me the number one thing I need is a wedding planner. We got married in Paso Robles and knew that we wanted someone connected to the community. I did a ton of research and was lucky enough to have found Jen! We connected right away and she just 'got' me (and my husband). She handled all of what would have been stressful things that came up and made the planning experience such an enjoyable one. Honestly... I enjoyed all of it! We not only worked together on my wedding but we became friends :) She truly made our vision come to life and it was the wedding of our dreams! The most magical day of our lives!

Our experience with Elle Render Events was exceptional from start to finish. Jen provided clear and proactive communication which was honestly so reassuring throughout the whole planning process. Her work is not only professional, but also innovative and creative as she brought our vision to life in the most beautiful way we could have ever imagined. Jen has such a warm and approachable energy, it honestly felt like working with a friend; my husband and I couldn't have done it without her. While we described the general feeling we wanted our wedding to have, Jen was able to take our words and create a tangible design that represented exactly the "backyard wedding" up a few notches into an elegant english countryside garden party meets forest dreamscape. My now husband, and I own our wedding venue and have some experience with hosting weddings at our venue, and to be totally honest, it was the best wedding we've ever had. No other planner has the attention to detail that Jen and her team has. She and her team kept us organized and on schedule, acting as our advocate with our vendors, ensuring we were able to fully enjoy our wedding day. Our wedding was truly perfect thanks to Jen and her amazing team. Our guests raved that it was one of the best weddings they ever attended. We truly couldn't have imagined it going better, and Elle Render Events was the driving force behind our dream day.

Jennifer was an absolute joy to work with! When we were searching for a wedding planner, the process felt overwhelming with so many great options to choose from. However, Jennifer immediately stood out as the perfect fit. From our first conversation, her confidence, direct approach, and ability to guide us through decision fatigue put us at ease. She has a great eye and a chic, modern style that really aligned with our vision.
We came to Jennifer with lots of ideas for our wedding, and she turned them into reality. She paid meticulous attention to details and thought of things we never would have considered, ensuring the day went smoothly. Her organization, exceptional communication, and wealth of experience truly shone through every step of the way. Beyond her professional expertise, Jennifer is a wonderful person. She made what could have been a stressful process enjoyable and fun. Her reassurance and positivity were exactly what we needed.
While we won’t be planning another wedding, we can’t wait to work with her again for future events. We can’t recommend Jennifer enough!

Jen is absolutely amazing! She took the time to get to know us and worked with us to create a vision that was unique and fit our personalities. She is so talented when it comes to design - we knew we didn't want something cookie cutter but didn't quite know where to start. Jen brought us so many creative ideas and put together an aesthetic more beautiful than we could have dreamt of. She is also incredibly organized and detail oriented. We had several long calls over the year and a half we worked together, and I appreciated how she was willing to spend as much time with us as we needed and she never missed a single detail - she was so passionate and deeply invested in us having the best day. I always looked forward to those calls not just because the planning was fun, but also because Jen is such a genuine person with incredibly positive energy and a great sense of humor – she is so fun to spend time with. A lot of people say planning a wedding is stressful, but honestly I felt the opposite. I had so much fun and was sad when it was over because of how much I was going to miss spending time with Jen! Also, our families and friends were so impressed with her and loved getting to know her. She is the absolute best – we can’t wait to visit her in Paso! I would recommend Jen to every couple – you will have the best day ever and so much fun leading up to it!

(Writing this on our 2 year anniversary as I reflect on the wedding of our dreams) I was worried I wouldn’t find someone who truly understood my vision - an LA vibe but taking place on the central coast. But then I met Jennifer of Elle Render Events, and all my concerns disappeared. During our consultation, she mentioned that she considers lighting one of the most important elements of a celebration setting, and I knew right then that she was the perfect fit. And let me tell you, she delivered. Jennifer took my sexy, sleek Pinterest board and brought it to life in a way that was even better than I imagined!
We got married at my parents’ home in Cayucos, which meant that Jennifer had to basically help us build a venue from the ground up. Her strong connections with the best Central Coast California vendors were vital, especially since we were planning everything from LA. I seriously don’t know what we would have done without her expertise and those relationships.
What I loved most about working with Jennifer was that she was all about doing things our way. She was so supportive of our non-traditional choices, like skipping flowers (except for my bouquet) and walking down the aisle together. She never made us feel like we had to follow any rules, and instead, she embraced our ideas and made them work beautifully.
If you’re looking for someone who’s not only an expert planner but also genuinely cares about making your day uniquely yours, Jennifer is your girl. I couldn’t have asked for a better partner in planning our dream wedding.

Elle Render Events, with Jennifer as our wedding planner, made our special day absolutely flawless. From the moment we began working with Jennifer, her dedication, creativity, and meticulous attention to detail were evident. She took our vision and turned it into a reality far beyond our expectations.
Jennifer's organizational skills and proactive approach ensured that every aspect of our wedding was meticulously planned and executed. She was always available to answer our questions, provide guidance, and calm any nerves we had leading up to the big day. Her expertise was invaluable, from selecting the perfect vendors to managing the timeline seamlessly.
On the wedding day, Jennifer was a calm and composed presence, orchestrating everything behind the scenes with precision. She ensured that every detail, from the ceremony setup to the reception decor, was picture-perfect. Our guests were in awe of how beautifully everything came together, and we received countless compliments on the smooth flow and stunning aesthetics of the event.
Jennifer's ability to handle any situation with grace and professionalism made us feel completely at ease. She went above and beyond to make sure our day was perfect, allowing us to fully enjoy every moment without a worry.
Elle Render Events, and particularly Jennifer, made our wedding an extraordinary and unforgettable experience. We can't recommend them highly enough for anyone seeking a wedding planner who is not only incredibly talented but also genuinely invested in making your day magical. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Thanks to a very odd turn of events, our wedding venue randomly teamed up with Jen to help us with our wedding. (long story...haha) We never knew that we needed her, but we are so incredibly grateful that we had her! At the very last minute (literally, one month out) Jen came into our lives and took control. Her organization, experience and level of communication were absolute cornerstones of pulling off nothing short of a miracle for our big day. In hindsight, I should have hired her from Day 1, but I didn't think I needed (or honestly could afford) the services of a wedding professional. If you are on the fence, DO IT! They are worth every penny and if you choose Jen, you will not regret a single cent! I am not exaggerating when I say, I would not have gotten through my wedding without her!

If you're a bride grappling with whether or not to hire a wedding planner-read this post!
Weddings are expensive and stressful. I was on the fence on whether I should hire a planner bc of the cost but it was hands down the BEST decision I ever made during the wedding planning process and this was solely due to the fact that I met Jennifer. She's so much more than an event planner—she calmed me down when times got stressful, she was always 4 steps ahead of me with a plan B, C, and D in place, and she became a close friend and creative partner in crime.
Aside from her acute attention to detail, Jen truly has amazing taste and a great design eye (and this is coming from someone who has worked in the creative field my entire career). She helped collaborate with me and brought my vision to life. Most importantly, she knew I was on a budget and always came to the table with cost saving ideas I would have never thought of. She's a prominent name in the central coast wedding industry and her loyal, kind, and lovely personality is why everyone wants to work with her! I could write an entire essay professing my love for Jennifer! I mean, who takes their client out to lunch and then buys them fresh pasta and italian treats to take home with them?! Jen is a treasure <3
If you're on the fence or looking for the perfect partner to plan to your wedding-look no further bc Jennifer is the best in the business!

In searching for a wedding planner, Jennifer was our only pick. After our first meeting with her, we trusted that she was the right fit for bringing our dreams to reality and she did. Jen was a joy to work with. As someone who is detail oriented, I appreciated that Jen was likeminded. She has the local contact relationships, she took care of everything without skipping a beat, and she made the planning experience seamless. The question my husband I got the most was “aren’t you stressed?”. Our answer was no. We started early and we had an excellent planner, who had it all figured out, so we didn’t have reason to feel stressed.
If you are looking for a wedding planner who will take the stress out of it, look no further. Jen is terrific, she’s an expert in her field and you can tell that she loves her job. This isn’t a project for her, it’s personal and we felt that she was invested in our day, from the big decisions, down to the tiny details. We couldn’t have done anything without her. In working with Jen for over a year, she became a fast friend and partner and someone who we will stay connected with for future visits to Paso!
Thank you, Jen! Your passion was evident, and we were thrilled to work with you.

I truly don't know what we would have done without Jen. She was not only phenomenal at helping us coordinate the logistics of the event, but she was also our rock during the whole process. She planned the flow of the day flawlessly and made sure we didn't miss even a minor detail. She even brought beautiful clear umbrellas for all of our guests so that our ceremony would be picture-perfect despite the rain. We had a stressful experience with our venue due to renovations that interfered with our plans, but she was always by our side to ensure we had a magical day in the end. She will make your wedding the funnest/best day ever and will make sure it is perfectly curated to you.

I was told I was the “Calmest bride ever” my response “I HAVE A JEN”! Jen was a DREAM!!! She made everything about wedding planning seamless. Any time an issue arose she fixed it before I even realized it was a problem. It rains where it never rains, no worries picked an even better spot for the ceremony; wrong stage, no worries they are already on their way to fix...get your car stuck deep in mud...no worries her husband was on the way to pull us out!
I am a control freak and thought planning a wedding across the country was going to be so hard for me but Jen made it easy and fun. She immediately picked up on my style and found all the perfect vendors for me on the first try. I truly would not have been able to do it without her, and she helped me make sure all my dreams came true.
Already planning to renew my vows just so I have an excuse to work with Jen again!

At first, my fiancee and I were on the fence about hiring a wedding planner. But once Jen got involved, we couldn't have imagined planning our celebration without her. She was well-prepared, professional, and very well-connected to the area we were getting married in -- which meant, we got to work within our budget. She advocated fully for all of our weird ideas and made sure that at the end of the day, our wedding was what we wanted.

She is the best of the best, and I’m so blessed that she was a part of our wedding journey 💕

I recently had the opportunity to work with Jennifer on a large event that was thrown together in less than 9 weeks. I had never worked with Jennifer prior to this event but as a fellow vendor I was very impressed by her attention to detail, her eye for design and professionalism. She has disappointed! I for one cant wait until the next event we get become a trusted partner and new friend. I would defiantly recommend her for any of your future events you wont be to work together again.

Jennifer is unequivocally the best decision I made for our wedding. She is a 10/10 planner and person. I can’t say enough how great it was working with her. Do not hesitate to hire her.
I hired her for the month of planning, but she was available for referrals and recommendations throughout my planning journey. She is a professional wedding planner, but also a friendly human who knows how to talk to vendors with a kind, but firm tone. She will push and pull every lever she has to make your day exactly what you want it to be. She brings solutions.
Jennifer is extremely organized and thinks of questions I hadn’t even considered. I’m a Type A person and was still astonished by how much I needed Jennifer’s attention to detail and structure.
Jennifer has created a system that makes it painless on the weekend of the actual wedding. She’ll help create a timeline, wedding venue layout, and deal with the peskier parts of the wedding day (like when the champagne will be served and how, and who should be served first). She really went above and beyond for me and protected my energy from outside annoyances.
I’m really grateful for the way in which she does her job: professionally, dutifully, and with kindness.
If anyone wants to talk directly to me about hiring her, please feel free to reach out!

When I started planning my wedding, the one thing I knew to do was to look for was a wedding planner. Choosing Jen was probably one of the best decision I could have made for my wedding. Not only is she proficient and professional at her job, but I also know I gained a long time friend as well.
Jen has made my wedding planning go so smoothly and easy that I didn't have to worry about most of the technical and stressful side of wedding planning. She made it so I could focus on my creative vision of what I wanted to for the wedding day and whatever I was looking for she would help my vision come to life. From finding the venue to working with and finding vendors and all the small decoration details in between, she has gotten me covered every step of the way. She makes sure that not only what I want is covered, but always respected what my budget was and worked with what was closest achievable to the budget I had. She always checked in on me and made sure that I wasn't stressed and gave me a sense of having everything handled. And when she says she's a text/call away if I needed anything, she really means it. Especially the days leading up to the wedding she would check in with me every week and if I had any question she would respond within the day if not the next day.
The day of the wedding was probably the most memorable for me, because Jen was around to handle all the back end of business so I could enjoy the day. It was the best day of my life and it was all thanks to Jen. She coordinated with all the vendors to help make my visions and wants come true. I never once had to talk to anybody or troubleshoot anything because she had everything under control. Thanks to her, I only had great memories to remember by.
So overall, if I can recommend or advice anything to future brides and grooms for their wedding is to hire a wedding planner and to go with Jen. I promise you really won't regret it.

Jen was lovely to work with over the past year for my daughter's wedding in August. The wedding was perfect in every way, demonstrating her attention to detail and creativity. On the wedding day, no detail was overlooked. From the tables to decorations, to the coordination of the services and vendors was all perfect. We highly recommend her!

it was our first and only time being the parents of the bride. We are beyond thrilled. My daughter would plan a medium, non-traditional wedding reception initially. I wasn’t sure what we would do to help her. We were so lucky meet Jennifer. Hire Jennifer to my daughter’s wedding planner was one of our best decisions.
My daughter hired Jennifer as a full-time planner about a year before the wedding date. Jennifer was very knowledgeable about everything she needed to do, and constantly communicate with my daughter every step of the way. Jennifer made my daughter’s lives much less stressful, I can't imagine having planned my daughter’s wedding without her.
My friends had couple bad experiences for photographers or videographers or other planner unexpected absent in the wedding days for their daughters or son’s wedding. This incident won’t be happened if the wedding was planned by Jennifer. In addition to Jennifer’s many years’ professional experience, very professional, organized, and easy to communicate with, another biggest strength is her wedding resource. She recommended a list of wedding venues, reliable photographers, videographers, flower planners, wedding gadgets etc. She will walk with the clients to make the best decision to meet the budget.
She had many meetings with vendors, helpers and her team to monitor the decorations, food, drinks, videographers, photographers, and etc. before the wedding. She setup a rehearsal and kept everyone on track with everything that needed to be checked off 1 day before the wedding. Moreover, she and her team showed up early to track with everything was fine at the wedding day. Staying late to supervise everything until the wedding was over. As for the wedding day, everything was perfect and went without a hitch!
Jennifer, thank you for your awesome service to give my daughter a perfect and unforgettable wedding in her life.
One of the best decisions in my life is to hire Jennifer to be my daughter’s wedding planner. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !!!

Hiring Jennifer as our wedding planner was undeniably one of the smartest choices we made for our big day, and I really cannot recommend her enough.
Jennifer was always professional, punctual, and responded quickly to any concerns we had. She has impeccable taste and style, and her suggestions were invaluable throughout the planning process. From our very first meeting, she was already brainstorming ideas with us, offering insightful suggestions that perfectly complemented our vision. What truly sets Jennifer apart is not only her unparalleled skill but also her warm and friendly demeanor, making her an absolute joy to work with. For anyone seeking assistance in finding vendors for any aspect of their wedding, Jennifer is the ultimate resource. She has an extensive network of local vendors and can easily connect you with the best in the area.
On the day of our wedding, Jennifer and her assistant went above and beyond to help with coordination. Her assistant even went the extra mile to resolve a wardrobe emergency with my wife's veil. Together, they not only ensured flawless execution but also prioritized our well-being when we were too preoccupied to attend to ourselves.
Once more, I cannot emphasize enough how invaluable Jennifer and her team were. A good wedding planner is irreplaceable, and Jennifer was everything we needed and more. Our wedding day was made all the more magical thanks to her dedication and expertise. To Jennifer, we are so grateful for your help in turning our dreams into reality.

Jen was wonderful! I knew she was the coordinator for us because her pricing is very reasonable + we had similar connections in our lives that made it feel like it was meant to be. We hired her as our day of coordinator and she also helped during the final months leading up to the wedding. She is kind, professional + very organized. Highly recommend her to help you plan your perfect day!

I can hardly write this review without crying. Jen was THE BEST!!! From the first consultation to the final goodbye, Jen was a true professional and more than that, a wonderful friend.
Throughout the entire planning process, Jen was incredibly attentive and accommodating, making sure that every detail was perfect. She worked tirelessly to ensure that my vision for my wedding day was brought to life and even went above and beyond to suggest creative ideas that I never would have thought of on my own.
On the day of the wedding, Jen was an absolute godsend. She was everywhere at once, ensuring that every aspect of the day was perfect. She handled everything with such ease and grace. Everyone kept asking how I was so calm and it was because I knew she had it all handled.
But more than just her professional skills, Jen became a true friend throughout the planning process. She took the time to get to know me and my husband, and made sure that every decision we made was a reflection of our personalities and style. She was always there to lend an ear or offer a word of encouragement, and I truly could not have done it without her.
Overall, I cannot recommend Jen enough as a wedding planner. She is not only an incredibly talented professional but a wonderful person and friend. If you're looking for someone to help make your wedding day unforgettable, you have to hire Jen!!!

We hired Jen for full service planning for our 40 person wedding weekend in Paso Robles. She was with us from the very beginning, helped us do everything from select a venue to put together our welcome signs. We could tell from the first conversation that she was all about giving us the wedding that fit our personalities and not a generic mold. She is incredibly knowledgeable about the industry, has so many great vendor recommendations and ideas for guest activities. Every time I felt overwhelmed or doubtful, one call with Jen made me feel happy and excited again. She always gave us her full attention and put so much care into our wedding. On the day of the wedding, everything ran so smoothly. Thanks to Jen, we were relaxed and in the moment all day long which is exactly what you want from an excellent wedding planner. Seriously, Jen is an amazing person and does a phenomenal job guiding you through a very stressful but joyful time in your life. We can’t thank her enough for giving us a wedding that exceeded our expectations.

Jen was far more than a day of wedding coordinator for me. She was always available to discuss any questions I had leading up to the wedding day and she provided such a comforting and confident energy to the planning process. She was on top of everything, timely, and she kept me in the loop with everything. We joked that she was my coordinator/therapist!! The day before and the day of, she just had it all under control and when we showed up to our wedding site the day of, she had put together the most beautiful and thoughtful environment for us and our guests. She truly creates magic. To say I would recommend Jen is an understatement. If you don’t hire Jen, I think you are missing out on the chance to not only have a seamless planning process, but an enjoyable one as well. She's just the best!!

Jen is absolutely incredible! She really made the entire experience of planning and the actual wedding day/weekend so wonderful. We hired her for the month of coordination, but she was available for assistance and guidance (as well as calls from my mother) a long time before that. Her organization, attention to detail, thoroughness, and receptiveness were outstanding - so much so that the other vendors at the wedding kept talking about how impressed they were by her. She made it easy and fun, while making my wedding dreams reality. We adore her and are already recommending her to friends who are planning their weddings.

Jennifer went above and beyond for our wedding day and leading up. She really became a friend to us and built a personal connection but man o man she can get things done! We had a big wedding (over 300) and I live all the way in TN, she made my wedding planning and wedding day feel like a breeze and it was so beautiful. It was a seamless day and I really got to focus on my friends and family and not stress at all. She had wonderful advice and suggestions, I would highly recommend Jennifer! She is professional, makes your wedding personal and so talented! We love her and I still keep in touch with her following our wedding! Super recommend!

We love Jen!! She is so wonderful to work with - incredibly responsive, decisive, honest, experienced, everything you would want in someone who is helping you with your big day/weekend! Jen has a depth of experience that was significantly more than the other options and that experience was something that was invaluable to us to be able to place our trust in her. Jen never stops working - she responds right away to emails, will jump on a call/zoom to chat - the time you get from Jen will exceed your expectations - it feels like she is just as invested in your wedding as you are! She is also a joy to be around - we loved getting to know her and her assistant Michelle who is also top notch and can't wait to call them the next time we are in Paso!
To all the engaged couples out there - especially the ones who are type A and on the fence about working with a planner or finding someone to trust to do it as well as you could (LOL that was us) Elle Render Events will add so much value and be worth every dollar. They are the wedding planner for those of us who are "planners"

So grateful for Jen. I’m somewhat neurotic and a control freak, but she really filled in where necessary and was hands off where I needed her to be. When I say my day was FLAWLESS - I legit cannot think of one thing that was not seamless. She was able to juggle a lot of vendors and If there was an issue, I never knew about it. She’s the best.

The first time I made contact with Jen I was so amazed at how easy she was to work with. There are literally no words to explain how impressed I was with Jen. She made my daughters wedding a fairytale. She saw our inspiration board and made it happen. Not only did she make the wedding beautiful she was there the whole time and totally took over. I had no worries at all cause I knew Jen was there. She is so beautiful and has the best personality ever. My daughter and I were so happy with Jen that I felt like she was part of my family. She is the sweetest person and such a pleasure to work with. She took out all the stress of the day of the wedding. I was so happy that we had Jen as our planner. Could not have done this without her.

From the moment we met Jen to go over her services, we knew she was the planner for us! She made us feel so comfortable and more than any other planner we met with, she made us feel like she was sincerely excited and happy to be working with us. Jen always took initiative and we never felt like we needed to reach out to her. Once her services started, she reached out to us to make sure she had all the information she needed, but she seemed to always be one step ahead of us. I (the bride) am in law school and didn't have a ton of time to give Jen a lot of direction, which I'm sure didn't make things easy on her, but she managed to make everything more perfect than I could imagine. I basically gave her boxes of decorations and she just made things happen! I was the type of bride at the beginning that thought I could do everything on my own, but after having the wedding, I realize I wouldn't have been able to enjoy our day without Jen. She'll be your cheerleader and your bulldog. I would recommend her to anyone! Thanks, Jen!

Jen is more than a planner; she's the third mom of the wedding. She's such a calming force, and we felt 1000% comfortable in her hands. She not only went above and beyond to make sure the decorations were beautiful, the vendors were dealt with, and the schedule ran smoothly. But she gracefully handled all the emotional parts of the wedding too: calming my nerves about my recently divorced parents being in the same room, making us feel safe, celebrated, and "normal" as an LGBT couple (sadly cannot say the same of every person we encountered while venue/vendor shopping), and even something as small as getting just as teary-eyed as our parents when we walked down the aisle. I know we have a lifelong friend in Jen, and it's something special when you can find someone who not only does their job well, but finds the time and energy for the little touches too. I really can say that our wedding day was perfect. I fully expected there to be a few hiccups, because there are always unforeseen events that occur on days like this. But truly - the day was entirely stress free, and I got to hold my wife's hand all day without a worry in the world thanks to Jen!

Working with Jennifer and the whole Elle Render Events team was a genuine pleasure. We started working with Jennifer a short 4.5 months in advance of our wedding; realizing a little late in the game that we needed help to execute with the vendors we’d engaged. Unphased by the short timeline, Jennifer jumped in head first – reviewing disparate contracts, laying out a road-map and scheduling regular meetings to get us to the finish line. We loved her approach to planning. Always poised, attentive and respectful in our conversations, Jennifer would acknowledge each person’s opinion with a thoughtful response and offer up a recommendation based on our collective feedback, our budget and her 14+ years of experience in the industry. What was at first a hectic and stressful planning experience was made easy and enjoyable because of her organization and expertise. When it came to execution, Jennifer and her team were consummate professionals. The Bridal Party moved throughout the day according to the team’s direction, but never felt pushed or rushed. The pace of the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception was just right. Not a minute too long or short thanks to the team’s diligent planning and follow-through. The wedding went off without a hitch and my family and I got to enjoy a truly beautiful day due in large part to the care and attention The Elle Render Events team showed throughout the planning process and in the execution the day-of.

I really can’t recommend Jen enough, we could not have asked for a better person to work with for our special day! Everything came together better than I could have imagined, she just got me & totally understood my vision. She really went above & beyond to make our day so special & stress free. Not sure how we have gone this long not being friends but so glad to know her now. Take my advice & do not miss out on working with her! You will not regret it, she is simply the best.

Have nothing but awesome things to say about Jen! We hired her as our wedding day-of planner but she stepped in long before the day of our wedding. She met with us months before the wedding at the venue to do a walk through, was available any time I texted her with a million questions and then she flawlessly executed every detail of our actual wedding day. From scouring the Central Coast area for an available makeup artist less than 3 weeks before my wedding after our original makeup artist fell through and helping me lock someone down, to referring me to her awesome friend and wonderful hair stylist, to bringing in an amazing assistant on the day-of, to checking on me throughout the whole week leading up to the wedding and even after the wedding, Jen truly killed it as our planner. Jen has an eye for detail and amazing style and was able to help me walk through the venue and figure out where to put things that would look the best which was something I struggled with. Like any other wedding there were some bumps leading up to the big day with vendor deliveries and set up and Jen was available and always there trying to find a backup plan if and when needed. I felt like she truly cared about our wedding and was going to go as far as she needed to, to pull off my expectations. I felt like a total rookie planning my wedding and was on of those brides who originally thought I could do it all on my own but I can’t stress enough how thankful I am that I hired a day-of planner and if I could do it all over I’d hire Jen again and again. I left my wedding experience feeling like I found a beautiful friend in Jen!

5 stars doesn't do Jennifer justice. I was that "do it all yourself bride" thinking I didn't need a wedding planner. Well four months from our planned wedding date- boy did I need help. Through the wedding planning process, Jen became such a good friend and I am grateful to know her. She helped me find vendors, decorate, keep the wedding in time, and plan the wedding dreams are made of. As brides we may think it isn't in our budget to hire a coordinator- BUT trust me it is. Jen helped to keep me in budget and still have all the décor and vendors I needed (ok-wanted). You will not regret hiring Elle Render Events!
