Events by Jesse

with our vendors and had a good vision for décor. Our venue was wonderful and provided a coordinator for things related to the venue. My fiancé (now husband) suggested talking to someone about getting some help for the "day of " - help with all the last minute things I might not be able to do myself the day of the wedding and someone to share my worry list with. After an initial call with Events by Jesse - we knew it was going to be exactly what we needed and we secured "day of" support about 8 months in advance of the wedding. About 6 weeks prior to the wedding, we started working with Dave to share our vendor info, vision and plans for our big day. He was wonderful in getting to know us and in asking lots of questions. His experience was clear and he was incredibly friendly, organized and insightful. On our wedding day - Dave arrived mid-morning and met all the vendors. He quickly became BFFs with my sister and best friend trouble shooting together in the event space and helping me take pictures. His help gave me incredible peace of mind and confidence that things were going smoothly. I didn't even hear about any hiccups until after my honeymoon where we did a debrief call - which resulted in a credit from one of my vendors. We planned our own wedding but help on the wedding day was key to truly being able to be present, enjoy the day and focus on each other. I highly recommend Events by Jesse and will always remember Dave as a special part of our wedding day!

ntacted all the vendors, and got us FULL refunds or credits from everyone. So we re-planned everything, at a completely new venue, and not once did she complain or cause issues. (Just to be clear: she basically planned one and a half weddings for us!).... fast forward, she found us the most perfect new venue, negotiated incredible discounts, and then proceeded to find us incredible deals on each and every vendor after (including catering). I even remember that she wasn't thrilled with the catering venue's price for this one dessert we wanted, so she walked around the neighborhood of our venue, found a bakery, and convinced them to make the dessert for us at a lower price. YES, she's that good! I absolutely recommend working with her. She helped me on every call with the caterer, florist, photographer, and so on, and just was always there to make me feel supported. The only note that I'd just mention is that she does have a team under her, and so I really pushed for her to be our day-of for the event (which I'm so happy about, because she kept me so calm + sane) but I'd just make sure you have your expectations set, because she obviously can't be the day-of planner for 100% of her events, so it's important to understand who you get for your day of.

million little decisions in those weeks just prior to the wedding. On our wedding day, Jesse had a very calm presence in the background. I'm sure she was doing a million things, but she and her staff (including all of our servers, whom she provided at a great rate) were on top of every little detail without intruding on our experience. As a result of their diligence and professionalism, we were able to relax and enjoy without worrying at all. The whole event went off without a hitch or a single problem, and we were in great hands with her.

e could if ever hoped for , she created a 280 custom tent/outdoor wedding for us on 10.30.21 , all the vendors she recommend were amazing , she always presented information in a timely manner with explanations, options and back up plans. No detail was left unnoticed . Communication was a top priority for us and Jesse checked all the boxes . The entire day went without a hitch , from the year of planning to the three day set up, all the way to the next day clean up, everything was perfect . Another Stand out moment was that the morning of the wedding she came to where I was getting ready to check in on everything including making sure my mood was on point , even my hair and makeup artists there that morning said out of all the weddings they have done they never seen such an amazing wedding planner that stopped in to check on the bride morning of. I love Jesse and words cannot thank her enough or explain the amazing work that she is able capable of . If you are looking for a right hand (wo)man during this process Jesse and her team should be your first stop. Since Jesse was part of our team there was never any stress or worry about the big day. Do yourself the favor and book Jesse weather it’s for the whole event of the day of ! I could of never done it without out and I wouldn’t of even wanted to try! Some more bragging points that Jesse was able to pull off for our event were coordinating a continuous cocktail hour style dinner with various stations and three food trucks !!!! Jesse is the planner of all planners and she is a joy to work with , very approachable, realistic, great communication, organized, and just overall a great person!

extremely organized and thoughtful. As the wedding neared, Jesse handed us off to one of her expert staff, Dave, who matched, if not exceeded, our expectations. We vibed with Dave immediately. We could tell that he understood our vision, shared our taste, and was personally committed to ensuring that our event went well. From day one through the wedding day, he was 100% on top of things. No detail went overlooked. Other vendors and even guests literally told us what an AMAZING job he was doing. We can not thank Dave and Events by Jesse enough!

for us. My aunt’s shoe broke and Dave rode his bike to TJ Max to get her a new pair- talk about going above and beyond the call of duty. These two are such a delight and I look forward to maintaining our relationship for years to come.

ted us through the roof prices. Their can do attitude made the day great. Thank you Jesse and her team!

me with Dave, who I began working with a few months before the wedding to talk through the day-of schedule. He was extremely helpful - bringing up things that I hadn’t even thought of and giving advice where needed. He is very easy to communicate with - email or phone call. On the big day, Dave stayed with us for the whole day and into the evening, and was able to keep the flow of the day on track. He not only knows exactly what he is doing, but is very funny. I would highly recommend hiring Events by Jesse (ask for Dave!) to help with any wedding planning or day-of coordination.

d enjoy the day. She jumped into table arranging, flowers, assisting the Dj, corralling our guests and wedding party into the right locations, and even ran out for supplies when our dessert plates didn’t arrive in time. She kept it cool and calm, and her expertise allowed for an absolutely smooth and wonderful day for us. We would absolutely recommend Events By Jesse for your big day, her planning and in the moment improvisation made for an unforgettable wedding for us. Thank you!!

tood what I pictured for that day. I highly recommed "Events by Jesse" for your wedding. You do need a wedding planner, is just a piece of mind! :)

ur day of planner and was the best and such a pleasure to work with. He answered any questions, handled anything that came up that day and it ran so smoothly. Dave helped make our wedding day a dream!! highly highly recommend him!!

d without her cheerful expertise. The wedding was a HUGE success and I owe her a tremendous debt of gratitude.

The day of the wedding everything turned out Great thanks to Jesse's attention to detail, friendly approach while keeping the professionalism. We can't thank you enough Jesse.

ly was that not the case, but no one should plan a wedding without a planner or coordinator! Jesse helped to connect us with different vendors that were absolutely perfect for our day. Her role in scheduling and coordinating was pivotal in making the day run so smooth. Jesse and her assistant Kiana were outright incredible on our wedding day! Having them there to run the show took all of the stress off my husband and I so that we were able to enjoy our big day! We would absolutely recommend working with Events by Jesse!

navigate. On the day of the wedding, I did not have to think or make one decision. Jesse took care of everything and made sure everything was perfect. I don’t know how I would have been able to plan our wedding without her!

hat on all the details so that we experienced a free flowing, modern elegant,exciting and fun 21 st century wedding w all the trimmings and yes a day we will cherish for the rest of our lives. Jesse made us feel like royalty! They are also fabulous working with our other vendors to provide a seemless, very professional elegant, and modern event. We had a wedding which required many details,including multiple locations and getting guests to all the right places at the right time. Jesse is one awesome planner that I recommend with the highest of approval. Jay

the wedding was. Thankful now that JESS Took control. It was a love fest and Jess was right in the middle of it. Love her!!!! KZ

s of so much help. I recommend them both 100%!

band's hotel room-because we didn't think about needing to do that!), to ensuring the small details occurred seamlessly. Overall I was very happy and would recommend Events by Jesse to everyone!

y the desired one ;) ). I messaged everyone on this stupid site and Jesse responded FROM COSTA RICA where she had just planned an event and said girl I got you. She talked with me about what I would need her to do and gave clear instructions about what I should have prepared before our wedding day. she reassured me that she would help to make sure the set up would go as desired (wedding was basically DIY), the right people would walk down the aisle in the right order, and she would keep track of time, deal with any in-the-moment glitches, and be as available as possible without being in the way - she was all of those things and more. she kept it all together effortlessly (or seemingly so) and didn't ask for lots of instructions from me, just got to work and made it all beautiful with decorations I wanted and coordinated the flow of things. she dealt with table arrangements and numbers, which I thought was going to be a last minute headache. everything that might have gone wrong did not go wrong at all and it was all thanks to Jesse. I'll also add that she never tried to upsell me on what she was going to do - she was willing to be there at a set time but had out if it seemed like her work was done, and was very up front about her pricing. Her service and expertise was worth every penny, and didn't break the bank. THANK YOU JESSE!!!!!

and respectfully met all of our requests and needs. He did so in a very affable , courteous and professional manner. Kudos to EVENTS BY JESSE!

on to detail were spot on. And... we loved the vendors that she recommended!! Hopefully, my other son will be getting engaged in the near future and we will absolutely use EVENTS BY JESSE!!

d! In addition to being exceptionally organized and on the ball, Jesse's personality was the perfect mix of fun and professional.

was on it. She thought of things I never would have. (A pretty hanger for my wedding dress so it looks extra special in pictures? Who would have thought? Not me! But Jesse did!) She kept us calm and moving forward and helped us create the magical wedding we wanted. My husband & I told all our friends and family over and over how lucky we were to have found her & how we couldn't have done it without her.

istened to what we wanted and was super careful to make sure that everything was exactly right. Her day-of timeline also included plenty of padded time for little mishaps, which we really appreciated because it kept everything on schedule. THANK YOU Jesse!!

ing of the wedding itself, she was ready to call new vendors and contractors to the venue. She was so good at keeping us on schedule during the ceremony and the reception. We would absolutely recommend her.

sse and she did not disappoint! Jesse also recommended the most amazing celebrant Sarah Gutman who she knew would be perfect for us and she was right!!! We got married in Central Park, had champagne at The Plaza and dinner at Hardings!!! I would recommend Jesse, Sarah and all of the places we found ourselves on our perfect day!!! Xxx

in our decisions - and she really pushed for our personality to shine through in our wedding. Jesse was so helpful in coordinating with our other vendors, as well as having an extensive network when we needed other options. We were so impressed with her responsiveness and being available to meet and chat when we needed her. When working so closely with Jesse, it is easy to see how genuine she is and how much she cares about her clients. During the day of our wedding Jesse handled so many different things that came up with such ease, allowing us to enjoy our wedding day without stress. Right after our ceremony, Jesse made sure we had some private time before the reception, and had cocktail hour food and our favorite drinks waiting for us in a private space. This moment at our wedding is something we will always remember thanks to her. We could go on an on about how much we loved working with Jesse - but to sum it up, all of us (my mom, my husband, and I) highly recommend her :)

river, the selection of the caterer or placing an actual dance floor on the grass covered by a clear tent! Good thing too since it started to rain. But no matter, the bride and the groom were estatic and the party lasted into the night. Everyone on her team did a fasntastic job.

dreaming about her big day so I was really overwhelmed with all my choices. Jesse helped me figure out my vision and then did everything to make it come to life. I couldn’t recommend her more. I even used her for my baby shower!

rospect Park which is located right near the Brooklyn Bridge in New York. I said to myself, there is not way I can pull this off on my own....I am going to need a wedding coordinator! My daughter did some research and located a few through "The Knot." I was impressed with Jesse from the very first day that we spoke however I did proceed with speaking with a few others to find out their costs and then my plan was to make a final choice. Jesse stuck in my head the entire time. Her phone presentation was excellent, she was extremely helpful and just overall so very nice. Her voice was one of someone that really put her all into her job and I could tell that she was caring and considerate. She was very prompt with returning phone calls & e-mails. Lucky for me as I am one of those moms that had question after question. For the day of the wedding she assigned me a coordinator by the name of Dave. He immediately reached out to me via text message introducing himself and he too was very kind and accommodating. I knew we needed to meet before the wedding so we made a plan to get together at the wedding site a few days before. He was very detail oriented and very patient as we went over the logistics of the wedding. In just 15 minutes we had a plan in place and I felt extremely comfortable knowing that he would be there to keep the ceremony in order....I knew I did not have to worry about anything. This was 100% true. He was there on time, and he took care of everything that we needed!! I did not have to blink an eye, all was perfect. I highly suggest that you utilize the services of this company. I promise that you will be totally satisfied and if she assigns Dave to your event, that will simply be an added bonus!! They really are a great team. Good Luck & Best Wishes

have invited her as a guest, anyway! I truly cannot recommend her enough. I hope to never get married again, but if I do I will definitely use Events by Jesse!

aradise which brought to life our son and his bride's vision. Her attention to detail paired with her creativity made this event perfect. Jesse has a kind and approachable manner and was ALWAYS there to calm and assure us! Additionally, Jesse respected our budget and recommended the finest vendors who delivered superior products and services. Simply put, I give Jesse and "EVENTS BY JESSE" an A+++++++++++ rating in all area... professionalism. attention to detail, creativity, accessibility, superb staff, wonderful recommended vendors and all with a smile and respect!!

osting!

ading up to the wedding, Jesse made herself available for every question, concern, and manic email from the bride. And the day before/day of? Jesse was a marvel! She effortlessly wrangled two crazy families kept everybody on schedule, and checked in consistently to make sure that my husband and I were happy, and enjoying such a special time in our lives. Having Jesse there, ensured that we could relax and be present and know that everything was taken care of. I cannot recommend Events by Jesse enough!

r flow of our day absolutely perfect. I couldn't imagine not having her and her team be part of our day. They made it stress free knowing someone was taking care of making sure every detail was where it should be and everything was going according to the timeline! Thank you Jesse and Dave for making our day the best day ever!

licked. She held my hands every step of the way and made was super prompt when I needed something. I would text her late a night on a weekend and she would reply less than 10 mins later, that’s how prompt she is! All the vendors she recommended, from the florist to the band to the make up and hair artist, were super wonderful. It takes the hassle from the bride in doing your research and picking out vendors when Jesse just gives you her recommendation and I’ll just let her run with it. When we did run into problems with my reception venue, Jesse was very professional in dealing with them and making sure we were getting everything that was originally in the contract. On the day of my wedding, I was able to enjoy myself thanks to Jesse and her team. She made sure everything ran according to the timeline and huddled people over where they needed to be. She was really spectacular on the day of as well. Like I honestly couldn’t have pulled of such an amazing event with such low stress if it wasn’t for Jesse and her team. Just to tell you how much work Jesse had to put into my wedding: I had a magician, caricature, lion dance, 3 choreograph dances, my reception and church was 45 mins away from each other, on top of that 7 different outfit changes. Jesse and her team worked magic on my wedding. As a working professional, my time is very important to me and I wanted a spectacular wedding without putting in much effort, and it was made possible with Jesse’s coordination. I highly recommend Jesse and her team if you’re looking for a wedding planner that understands your style and vision, and can execute it.

y could not have done it without her. She was not only there for us each step along the way, in constant communication and always available to answer even the silliest of my questions at odd hours, she singlehandedly recommended each vendor, all of whom were marvelous, immensely simplifying the vendor-seeking process! I’m seriously in awe at how amazing everyone she recommended was. And she is not just brilliant and incredibly hard-working, but also extremely kind, understanding and selfless, making working with her an incredibly pleasant and reassuring experience, which is *essential* when planning a wedding. And our wedding was not an easy one: My husband and I both have massive families, and mine is very overbearing and kept inserting themselves into the process unexpectedly. But Jesse handled it with such grace and professionalism it was like they weren’t bothering us at all, haha! And my entire family, husband’s family, and all of our guests are blown away by her extraordinary work as well (and there are A LOT of them). She went so above and beyond our expectations and truly made our day the most magical, fun, beautiful day of our entire (and our guests’) lives. In short: I cannot recommend Jesse as a wedding/event planner enough. She will make it feel so easy and seamless, even when things are the most stressful. Even *during* the wedding, she streamlined the speech giving process, reminded me of where to be and when, instructed guests on where to go, etc. I seriously mean it when I say the day wouldn’t have happened or been a success without her expertise and willingness to give it her all. Seriously: HIRE JESSE! She is such an awesome person I promise you won’t regret it!

derful hair and make-up stylists -- who were fairly priced and gave great services. Jesse worked quietly behind the scenes and helped make things happen smoothly and flawlessly. We can't recommend her more highly!

t have had such a fun meaningful experience, and flawless wedding, without your help. You were very organized with checklists for different parts of the wedding from the preparatory phase till the end. You gave us direction, guidance and helped us build bridges with vendors, which helped us make right choices without wasting any precious time and money. Also, you were always readily available to solve and to answer any questions whether it was minor or major. You always listened to my bride and myself, and you were always making us feel like we were in good hands. We knew we could be calm on the big day, knowing that it was going to be flawless thanks to your detailed planning skills. It now occurs to us that nobody can be aware of all the details that are required to make a perfect wedding. However, it seems that you have been there, done it, and now are using your acquired skills and knowledge to help others plan their big day. One more thing I would like to mention, all of the vendors (caterers, photographer, florist) at our wedding mentioned that you were one of the most patient and considerate wedding planners that they had encountered in their jobs. So well done. I highly and fully recommend Jesse Reing. She is the best!

ving to juggle a lot more than the actual wedding (i.e guests questions, family requests, alterations, getting your highlights done + beauty stuff, shopping for last minute items.. the list goes on and on) so the last thing you want to be doing is worrying about whether your photographer (and all the other million vendors) know where to go and more importantly are on the same page. Things change and that’s where Jesse comes in. We hired her a wedding coordinator and Dave on her team completed huge deliveries for us (we gave out snow globes as favors:/!) - he got all the globes to the venue (not an easy feat in NYC) and got everything set up as needed. We got married in Washington Square Park so I was really nervous about everything but knowing Dave was there to oversee everything gave me peace of mind I needed. It's very necessary so you can enjoy what's important. Jesse and Dave both did a walk thru with my husband and I a few days before and asked all the right questions. Our friend who officiated the wedding was thankful Jesse suggested he get something nice to read his script from (he ended up using a moleskin notebook) and thank god we did because it’s going to be in all the pictures! It’s little things like that were really helpful to make it come together more smoothly. Putting the timeline in place helped me immensely as well I was getting stuck in my own way and Jesse was able to get a clear visual of what the day would look like and get answers out of me (for example: Kat, we need to be clear now so it can go in the timeline, do you want the trolley to pick you up for the ceremony or stay on with the guests?) It's hard to explain but you enter this wedding decision making fog where you just need efficient people to get clear answers and that's exactly what Jesse did for us. It was awesome.

not disappoint. I had no idea how much work and how many details wedding planning entailed. And I came to realize that like every other bride I wanted my wedding to be perfect. And probably like every other bride I came to realize that is much easier desired than accomplished! I had done a lot of the big ticket items like select a venue, hire a band and had visited untold bridal dress shops. But foolish me I came to realize that that was the easy part! Enter Jesse to the rescue! She went above and beyond in every way you could imagine. I am not great with technology and she ended up doing the wedding invitations and even put all of the addresses into excel for me (as I said above and beyond)! Her wealth of knowledge on every aspect of wedding planning is immense and of great quality and my wedding was undoubtedly so much better as a result of her expertise. And there were times I just started losing it and feeling that it was not all going to come together and Jesse she talked me down and had a way of making me feel that everything was going to be ok. She will always get right back to you whether by phone, text or email. And Jesse was amenable to meeting in person which I feel is important as I’m very old school. Jesse will get it done and get it done in the style that suits you. And Jesse will warn you of any potential mistakes you may be making which is a very underrated quality especially in wedding planning where emotions run high. Instead of hiring a traditional wedding photographer we had a friend of ours take the photos and Jesse tactfully let us know that that might not be the best idea. I did not heed her advice and although we got some great photos she was right! Hire Jesse and take her advice!

d like attend! My husband is a bit more traditional than I am and Jesse helped us find the perfect medium where we were both happy. She worked with us on everything, going way above and beyond during the planning stages. She found us an amazing Venue, Caterer, Photographer, DJ, Florist, took care of rentals and assisted with details we would have never known were necessary! We also hired Jesse for day of services where she turned into a full blown organizational mastermind, she had everything covered, gave us the special attention we needed and made sure everything went exactly as planned. Our wedding was a super success, we received so many complements on all the details we couldn’t have planned without Jesse.

e took care of coordinating all the vendors, making sure the timeline was in place, and followed up on everything throughout the whole night - I didn't have to worry about a thing. I would highly recommend Jesse to help with your wedding!

ing on our hands and sought the help of Jesse.  Thank god we did!  Jesse was vital to the success of our wedding day and helped us with planning, logistics, and day of set up/execution.  Jesse met with us many times prior to our wedding and was always attentive, responsive, organized, and oh so detailed!  She always reminded us that our day was for us, and encouraged my husband and I to make decisions that were best for us (and our budget!).  She coordinated with vendors and communicated with all before and during our event.  Even with a monsoon at our outdoor reception (😩) and wet DJ equipment, Jesse never skipped a beat.  She managed to communicate with all staff and made to the minute decisions that helped our wedding day to run smoothly, even coordinating a day of change in schedule of events!  Jesse really exceeded our expectations in every way, and we are so thankful for all her work. She is knowledgeable, passionate, and honestly fun to be around.  Thanks to Jesse our wedding day was utterly perfect in every way!

f coordination. Not only did Jesse keep it all on track but she helped me negotiated contracts and saved us $. Outside of logistics, she was amazing at level setting with my husband/family members when they had last minute ideas/issues in the last weeks before the wedding. (also played an amazing therapist.) I highly recommend having Jesse in your corner through your wedding process! i honestly don't think i could have pulled it together without her.

groom and I. Can't wait to use her for events in the future!

It was one of the happiest days of my life and even better it was stress free bc. Jesse was present on the days leading up to the event, as well as at the event itself to insure everything was running smoothly (and it did!). She went above and beyond her call of duty and I couldn't have asked for/chosen a better event planner and wedding wing woman.
