Events by Jackie M

process, before I could have imagined what a collaborative, helpful, kind, patient, organized, dedicated, and indispensable partner she would become to us. Jackie put so much time and effort into our wedding. When I think about the hours she spent with me on the phone, meeting with us and the caterer, the florists, not to mention the undivided attention in the weeks leading up to the wedding... her hours alone are worth the price. When we left the party at 1 am she was still there! Managing everything and everyone with complete grace. She also coordinated for us in MA which was crucial since my husband and I live in NYC, Jackie was our "boots on the ground" presence and perfect at it. Jackie handled all of our vendor relationships with patience and diligence. I'm a planner but also a dreamer and Jackie struck the perfect balance of letting us have control, but keeping us realistic. The few times Jackie spoke up to suggest an alternative for an idea I had, I knew she was working to make our wedding perfect, rather than just saying "sure, no problem!" to every whim. She was truly a partner, flagging things that had the potential to be a logistical nightmare before they became one. Jackie was how careful she was so help bring OUR vision to life, not her own. I realized after a few meetings that rather than injecting her own style or way of doing things at every corner, she was careful to learn what we wanted and suggest ideas aligned with our style. As someone who used to do corporate event planning (and with a husband works in logistics) I could not have been more impressed with how well Jackie organized, planned and implemented our vision. She was a fantastic partner and I recommend her unequivocally.

d not find her, she had every little detail of the day laid out in the plan. If the other reviews weren't enough to make you want to work with her, I'll leave you with this... I slept a solid 8+ hours the night before the wedding because she is THAT good, I knew she had everything covered. Now how many brides can say that?!

an family, 'small' was defined as 200 guests and a 5 course meal.. I became overwhelmed, extremely quickly. I was having difficulty juggling my time between wedding planning and my 60 hour work week. Honestly, planning the wedding began to feel like a second job and I was not enjoying it. Finally, about six months in, it was recommended for me to contact Jackie and THANK GOD I did. From our initial meeting, she took my anxiety level from 10 to 0. She literally took all the tedious stuff (phone calls, reaching out to vendors, setting up limo services, ect...) out of my hands and kept track of everything for me... And when I say everything, I mean EVERYTHING! She was always available to answer questions through email, phone conversations or text and you never had to wait for her, she was always on top of everything. She was also the MOST organized person I have ever met. She was always one step ahead of me and keeping track of what I needed to get done on the ultimate bridal timeline (created by her of course). Besides all of these wonderful qualities, the most important of all, she made planning a wedding enjoyable for me again. She came to meetings with me and when I looked to her for advice (which was always) she gave me her honest opinion. Jackie is genuine and it is clear that she truly enjoys what she does. My wedding day was perfect and stress-free and the only thing I would have gone back and changed about it is the fact that I did not contact Jackie the day I began planning my wedding.

me of my ideas, Jackie always reassured me that we would get it done and it would be great. She put me at ease, she put my parents at ease and she put all of the other vendors at ease. Not an easy task. Everyone appreciated having someone so focused and knowledgeable running the show. One of the happiest memories I have of my wedding day is coming back from getting my hair and makeup done and sneaking into the reception tent to see that everything had come together so beautifully. It was exactly what I had envisioned. My husband and I have had countless people tell us "in all sincerity, your wedding was the best wedding I have ever been to." We owe so much of our perfect day to Jackie.

was the perfect addition to my wedding team. Her upbeat personality and passion for what she does were completely evident from the start, as was her attention to detail (something that was pretty important to me). Jackie was great with offering suggestions for vendors and answering my every question regarding etiquette and timing (and there were plenty of questions I assure you!). Jackie was an amazing resource and sounding board for my ideas and helped me to make them a reality. I felt confident going into my wedding day that everything would work out perfectly, and it did!!! Jackie was great with coordinating with my other vendors to be sure everyone would be where they needed to when they needed to be there (and without making the others feel like she was stepping on their toes or being bossy). My photographer actually stopped me at one point during the reception to tell me that Jackie was the best coordinator he has ever worked with and that she was truly there to make my experience a memorable one, which I completely agreed with! Everything about my day came out exactly as Jackie and I had discussed during our numerous emails and face to face meetings, I could not be happier! Hiring her was one of the best decisions I made during my wedding planning process and I am so lucky to have been able to work with such a sweet and genuine person to pull together the wedding of my dreams! Thank you so much Jackie!
