Embellished Events

ost two years before my wedding date, I spoke with her on the phone from 800 miles away (I live in Chicago, IL). I'm originally from the Beaufort area, but had not lived there for several years. From the beginning, Jen was there every step of the way. Planning a wedding from 800 miles away and then during a pandemic was a bit mind-boggling, but Jen was an absolute angel and made the whole experience seamless. Her communication, design, resources, organizational, and problem solving skills are unmatched. We met via Zoom often, and she always answered all of my questions. She also created the wedding of my dreams plus more. She took everything that was inside my head and put it on paper while staying within the realm of my budget. I seriously could not have planned my wedding without her. Outside all of those things, Jen is one of the kindest, beautiful souls you will ever meet. All of my vendors, guests, and family members adored her. To this day, I still hear how wonderful Jen was at the wedding. If I could work with Jen again, I would--100%. Thank you, Jen, for being a part of my life and creating the most beautiful wedding for me.

ilton Head I reached out to Jen and it was one of the best decisions I made in the wedding planning process. It is so comforting knowing that you have someone working for you that knows the area and the local vendors so well. I initially knew I loved Jens taste by her portfolio so throughout the process I felt very at ease with her recommendations. She helped me to book some of the most amazing vendors!!!! If you are starting to plan a wedding in the area be sure to contact Jen first, she can help you with so many little details right away that will later become so important! For instance, deciding on your venue is crucial and Jen has incredible knowledge about the area to help you find the venue that will reflect your style/vision. From there she does a wonderful job with guiding you through the steps you need to take and helping you to do things in the proper timeframe (timeframe is so very important - vendors get booked, etc). I also want to mention how amazing our day of experience was. I am extremely detail oriented and Jen executed and oversaw every little detail perfectly!!! I can't describe how happy I was seeing all the aspects we had worked so hard on during the planning process come to life. Having her and her team there on our wedding day allowed me to relax. I felt as though she would make sure everything came together the way I had envisioned - and I was right! I am so THANKFUL we reached out to Jen all those months ago and will forever CHERISH our wedding planning process/wedding day experience!!! Know that if you decide to use Embellished Events you will be in the very best of hands.

way we would be able to plan a wedding there from across the country by ourselves. We contacted Jen based on her photos and reviews and could immediately tell she was an incredibly creative and experienced professional who could bring our wedding to life. Jen kept us up-to-date with our responsibilities for the entire year of our engagement, right up to the week of the wedding. We were involved in the planning and the wedding truly felt like ours; however, she took care of everything, from communicating with vendors to coordinating the day-of schedule. In the end, our wedding was even more wonderful than I could have ever pictured because of her vision and taste - even with a few hiccups (like swarms of yellow jackets on the intended ceremony site!). We had many guests tell us it was the best wedding they had ever been to, noting that every little detail had been covered. I totally trusted her and did not have to worry about a single thing except enjoying the day. I highly recommend Jen and Embellished Events!

favor and hire Jen Leiti before you do anything else wedding related. For people looking for a little more detail here goes. My now husband and I live in New York City but both have an affinity for the Lowcountry. Given that dynamic we knew that we needed someone on the ground who knew the vendors and could help our vision come to life with lots of emails and phone calls. As silly as it sounds I initially approached Jen because I loved her website! I knew I wanted someone professional with good taste and my first reaction after seeing how she markets herself is that this is someone that like me, takes pride in the details. During our first phone conversation I knew that Jen was exactly who I wanted to go through this process with. She instantly made me feel more at ease and the way she approached discussing different wedding ideas really showcased what an expert she is – I trusted her to run with a lot of things wedding related and am so glad that I did. On the day of our wedding Jen and her team executed all aspects of the day perfectly. I didn’t have to worry about anything and for someone that is super type A it was a huge thing for me to totally let go. For example, we had an outdoor ceremony and right before I was supposed to walk down the aisle the sky opened up and it started pouring. Jen told everyone to quickly come inside and we would resume the ceremony following the rain delay. Sitting in the bathroom with my bridesmaids drinking champagne could have been a stressful, freak out moment but of course Jen quickly came to chat with me and let me know the storm would quickly pass by and we’d start where we stopped. Given the trust I put in Jen through this process and the quality with which she had executed everything this far I knew that she would handle this and I didn’t have to worry at all. 20 minutes and a couple champagnes later the skies cleared and we continued as planned! The entire night was perfect and the only thing I wished is that Jen could have been a guest as throughout this process she also became a friend. The entire process was thoroughly enjoyable and I am so sad that I don’t get to email her daily! If anyone is looking for a wedding plan I strongly recommend that you hire Jen and her team!
