Events by Jesse

Dave, Ariel and Victoria were fantastic!! My wedding day was made so much easier with them on my team. Dave is so friendly, professional, organized and great to work with. From gathering COI to placement of welcome signs/name cards/favors to helping us wrangle people and organize the ceremony, he really nailed all aspects of our special day. The timeline he put together mapped everything out perfectly and Ariel and Victoria made sure to stick with the plan. Not only did Ariel keep us on track with makeup and hair but she helped me get dressed and pack everything we needed to get to the zoo. Victoria was super helpful with my dress during photography and she means business! A couple folks were in our shot of a peacock and she rushed in to help us get our pictures. I couldn’t have asked for a more fun, organized, sweet team to help me on my special day! Highly recommend working with this team!

We collaborated with Dave, of Events by Jesse, for nearly a year, and his unwavering dedication, professionalism, and positive attitude truly set him apart. Not only was he patient with me as I planned an out-of-state vow renewal, but he also transformed our vision into an extraordinary and magnificent event that surpassed our wildest expectations. Even amidst last-minute weather changes, he managed to make the event even better than the original plan. In the end, it was one of the greatest evenings of our lives.

Jesse saved the day when what was supposed to be a micro-wedding turned into something much bigger with over 120 guests. We knew we would need a proper coordinator to handle logistics and she had a package that was perfect for us, given where we were in the planning process. She helped sort through every single issue from the music and microphones at our venues to organizing our friends and family for portraits to setting up our decorations and handing out favors at the end of the night. Hire Jesse!

Jesse is amazing. She is not only a wedding planner but also basically a therapist/mind-reader. My now-husband and I were sometimes overwhelmed by the many decisions we had to make, but Jesse was able to narrow down our choices, keep us on track and make everything feel manageable. She is connected with the best vendors and made wonderful recommendations for the band, florist and photographers. She got to know us and really listened to what we wanted - and we ended up having a phenomenal day.

Over the 6 months leading up to my October 2024 wedding, "Deadweight Dave" Adamick earned that nickname for always being 3 steps behind instead of 2 steps ahead, plus 1 star for making himself easily available and 1 star for being there on the big day. He was the worst part of my wedding experience, and his lack of preparedness botched the most important, sentimental parts of the day. I trusted Dave to do his job, and he failed. I do not recommend working with him nor anyone from Events by Jesse. My primary motivation for hiring Dave was "Taking over point-of-contact for all vendors following the 6 week timeline meeting" because my father-in-law got sick in April 2024. He ended up passing away four weeks before the wedding (which Dave never acknowledged). Unfortunately, Dave's communication with vendors was woefully inadequate. Early on, it was noticeable that he cared more about brown-nosing with our venue, The New York Botanical Garden, than he did about following through on critical planning tasks. He often accepted half-answers instead of asking basic follow-up questions (e.g. after two months of asking which other beers the venue could get, they asked for a list and I shared 17 options I'd be happy with, and then Dave accepted their response of "Pilsner +$2.50 pp".... Which pilsner, Dave?!?!). This wasted our time, further delayed the planning process, and was a reoccurring issue. The worst infraction of incompetent communication was never confirming details with our Florist. This caused them to arrive 60+ minutes late, and they forgot to wrap my father-in-law's tie around the bouquet. This broke our hearts and shattered the timeline, neither of which Dave tried to mend. His failure to take ownership and control of his responsibilities led to an incredibly chaotic day. Luckily, I warned our DJ that Dave was awful and unreliable, so the incredible DJ Dom (www.CNTEntertainment.com/Dom-Moura/) kept us on track once the reception began. Reflecting on my wedding day is painful, mostly because the missed moments weren't bad luck. Accidents happen -- I stubbed my toe and scuffed my shoe immediately after leaving my hotel room, the suburban I hired broke down at the hotel, etc. -- But I missed half a dozen moments that mattered the most due to Dave's inattention, not by accident. That hurts a lot. I deeply regret hiring Events by Jesse.

We had the best experience with Events by Jesse! Our friend referred us to work with Dave and our friend did not steer us wrong!! We used Events by Jesse for Day of Coordination services and it was the best decision we could have made. About six weeks out from our wedding is when we really started to work with Dave. He helped us create a timeline which ensured that no small detail went unaccounted for (down to what drink we wanted waiting for us after the ceremony!). Any time I was feeling stressed, we would have a call with Dave and I would immediately feel more relaxed. He also ensured our dream team of vendors had all the necessary information which took a huge burden off of us leading into our wedding weekend. On the day of, we had Jesse on site with us and she was a dream to work with. She kept us on schedule and made sure everyone and everything was in the correct place. I felt I was able to enjoy my wedding with her in our corner! A planner is not something you should overlook if you want to have a stress free wedding day. We highly recommend Events By Jesse and their whole team! 

The entire team was incredible from start to finish. They got the job done and we couldn't have asked for better planners. They even went above and beyond for us by brining a tv for the grooms suite. HUGE shout out to Dave and Billy.

I wish I could give Events by Jesse 20 stars out of 5! Looking back at my wedding planning I laugh at how I thought I was capable of planning my big day solo; thank goodness for Jesse and her team! After sending out an inquiry I was instantly contacted by Dave, the Director of Event Services, and it was truly love at first chat! He totally understood my vibe and my vision for my wedding from the get-go. All of my planning anxieties disappeared! He truly made my planning journey and wedding day seamless. He was on top of everything throughout the entire process and I am still blown away at just how organized he is! He got along with all of my vendors impeccably and was so easy to work with; it was as though my best friend was planning my wedding for me! Thanks to Dave and the rest of the team at Events by Jesse, my wedding was set up for success and I walked into my wedding calm, cool, and collected as bride should! They truly made my wedding day complete- it wouldn’t have been the same without them!

Jesse was a phenomenal wedding planner, she is patient, organized and extremely accessible and knowledgeable. The day of the wedding she was a pleasure and we are so grateful for our experience with her!

We hired Jesse halfway through our wedding planning, and we could not be happier that we did. Jesse swooped right in and made our lives so much easier. We instantly trusted her and knew she had everything under control. She was always an email, call, or text away to help us deal with anything and everything. She never said no to us, and made all of our crazy requests happen!! Day-of, we knew everything was under control with Jesse there. She knew exactly what we wanted and did everything exactly as we discussed. Jesse made sure we didn’t need to make any decisions day of, she took care of everything and left us to completely enjoy our day. We truly could not have had our perfect wedding day without her and are so grateful for her commitment to making our dreams come true.

Jesse did a wonderful job planning our wedding! We came to her with a half baked idea and quick engagement and she enthusiastically embraced both. Jesse has an encyclopedic knowledge of vendors in the greater New York City area. Importantly, vendors LOVE working with her which made it especially easy, in turn, for us to work with all of our vendors. On the day of the wedding Jesse was friendly, professional, and warm. She made sure all of our guests comfortable and made sure the wedding looked beautiful. We loved how she shielded us as the bride and groom about any last minute bumps in the road and let us fully concentrate on feeling the love. We would highly recommend Events by Jesse!

Was a great wedding! We had some major hiccups with weather but Jesse did an amazing job handling everything. Great communication leading up to. A+

When my husband and I began our search for a Wedding Planner, I googled NYC planners and Jesse's name popped up. I checked a few other planners and decided to set a call with Jesse. Within a few minutes on the call, I said she is exactly what we are looking for. I hired Jesse within a week and began the wedding planning process. Jesse is by far one of the best event planners I have ever worked with. Her knowledge of the wedding market in NYC is perfection. Every single vendor she has worked with and recommended to us was amazing! Our event was perfect and we are so pleased that Jesse was our planner. She is not only a fantastic wedding planner, but she is now our friend!

I can't even begin to tell you how helpful, professional and fun the coordinators are at this firm. Dave was amazing, helped us plan everything down to the last detail, helped us alleviate any concerns we had about vendor relations and kept us laughing during it. Billy, our day-of-coordinator, was like a ninja, helping out the vendors when needed, making sure my husband and I knew where to go and when, and just generally being a rockstar. I would absolutely recommend this team whether you are looking for full service planning, day-of-coordination or something in between

I was so relaxed and had an absolute blast at my wedding, and it's all thanks to Dave. He understood my vision perfectly, was so kind throughout the entire process and and got the job done without being too overbearing. I could not recommend Events by Jesse enough!

Lost in this wedding planning mess and need a wedding bff that will help you along the way never letting you down? Creative, patient, knowledgeable and professional. I could think of more adjectives but then I’ll just get lost in the list. Dave was our wedding bff and he killed our wedding! 2 months later and guests are still raving about the wedding and the superb orchestration of the event. My husband and I knew one thing, we wanted a non-traditional memorable wedding and from the moment Dave found us Garnerville Arts Center (worth looking up) I knew it was meant to be. From then, on to the day of our wedding ( a rainy day with lots of moving pieces) Dave and his crew used their magic. And when I mean crew I mean CREW. Through Dave we met Billy, and Ruthie who gave it their all to make our day feel special. And we will always be thankful for them :) If you need someone who’s ready to think outside of the box with you, no judgement just genuine support work with this team! I promise you won’t regret it ;)

From our first consultation with Dave at Events by Jesse, we knew that it would be a great fit! The decision to work with Dave and Events by Jesse was the single best decision we made when it came to planning our dream wedding. Dave is a consummate people-person and knows the ins and outs of the event planning business. He supported our vision from the very start, but was also there to offer sage wisdom and thoughtful guidance when necessary without ever overstepping. We trusted Dave 100% and knew that he had our best interest in mind every step of the way. Dave’s calm and easy-going demeanor along with his good sense of humor and overall chill vibe make him the ideal person to plan an event as stressful as a wedding. He is professional, easy to talk to, non-judgmental, a quick thinker/problem-solver and an overall joy to be around. Each and every vendor we worked with commented on how WONDERFUL it was to work with Dave and this was so evident at our wedding as it flowed seamlessly. Dave flawlessly coordinated every last detail making it such that we had nothing to worrry about the day of our wedding except having the time of our lives. We will remember our wedding as the best day of our lives and are so grateful to Dave for all he did to make our dream a reality.

Working with Dave and Christina was the best thing that could have happened for our wedding. Dave immediately set us at ease with how thorough and efficient he was when explaining their day-of program and this continued as he gathered every detail for the big day and set up timetables with our many vendors. Since this was a destination wedding for us (traveling from WA), being able to trust Dave with logistics was the biggest weight off our shoulders. We also appreciated how well he matched us with our Coordinator, Christina. We clicked really well and her meticulous ethic bolstered our confidence that the day would go smoothly. Having her with us on the big day let us breathe and enjoy it 1000x more than if we had to check in with all our vendors to make sure everyone was where they were supposed to be at the right time (I was already nervous that I'd trip and fall on my face). Everything went SO smoothly and we're so grateful for her.

We had the pleasure of working with Dave Adamick from Events by Jesse for our recent wedding, and we cannot emphasize enough how incredibly helpful and responsive he was throughout the entire process. Dave's wealth of knowledge in the industry, coupled with his excellent communication skills, truly set the tone for a seamless and stress-free wedding planning experience. From the onset, Dave demonstrated a remarkable understanding of our vision and preferences, utilizing his extensive network of vendors to provide us with top-notch recommendations. His attention to detail was evident in every aspect of the planning, and he went above and beyond to ensure that even the smallest elements were executed flawlessly. One of the most impressive aspects of working with Dave was his ability to save us a significant amount of money on decorations without compromising the elegance and beauty of the venue. His creative solutions and cost-effective strategies transformed our space into a breathtaking setting that surpassed our expectations. On the day of the wedding, Dave's coordination was nothing short of perfection. He orchestrated every aspect seamlessly, ensuring that the day unfolded effortlessly and according to plan. His calm demeanor and quick problem-solving skills were invaluable, allowing us to truly enjoy every moment without any worries. We would highly recommend Dave Adamick and Events by Jesse to anyone seeking a dedicated, knowledgeable, and detail-oriented wedding planner. Dave's passion for his work and commitment to creating unforgettable experiences truly sets him apart in the industry. He not only met but exceeded our expectations, and for that, we will be forever grateful.

We worked with Dave for 5 months for partial planning our Upper West Side wedding and our only regret is not finding Events by Jesse sooner. We had a meeting every couple of weeks and Dave kept us updated on all the hard work he was doing. On the day of the wedding, Billy was our coordinator and he handled every last-minute curveball with the utmost grace and professionalism. We got compliments about our wedding from pretty much every one of the 120 guests who attended. And as a couple with full time jobs, planning our wedding would’ve been impossible without Events by Jesse.

So first of all, Jesse is a god-send!! I messaged her at 2am less than two months away from my wedding and Jesse got back to me by 7:30am that same day and by 1pm we had a call scheduled. She was extremely helpful- all of her advice was on point! Her prices are fair-she will honestly set you up with a package that fits your budget and her staff was top notch!! But more importantly she took on my wedding as if it were her own! I can not express how grateful and happy we are to have met and worked with Jesse and her staff. They left no detail to chance and were very attentive to what we wanted. Just amazing!! Thank you Events by Jesse!!

I can't say enough about Jesse. She took a crazy vision in my head and made it reality. Jesse and her team think about every possible scenario and prepare for it. Not only does she have the big stuff covered but the small details are also included. She does it all and has an incredibly warm disposition throughout it all. The best and most crucial decision you can make is to hire her and her team. Planning a wedding is stressful but when you have this crew working on it, it feels like a breeze. Thank you so much for making my party be the most epic thing I have ever done! She was super communicative and incredibly organized I loved working with her and would for sure so it again!

We hired Dave from Events by Jesse for our September wedding and could not recommend him more. Dave is the perfect personality for wedding planning -- he is calm, friendly, personable, kind to all, never flustered, very confident and capable, and manages all the moving parts of the wedding expertly. He is also just a wonderful person to talk to about all our wedding fears, anxieties, nerves, as much as our vision. He never gets bothered and helps make sure we are comfortable with everything every step of the way. He was the perfect person to be with us and make our big day happen exactly as we envisioned.

Dave was extremely helpful and eased my stress from our very first phone call. I would not have been able to plan a NYC wedding without him. He was very professional and knows the industry very well. Highly recommend!

We really enjoyed working with Jesse and her team! We had a relatively quick backyard wedding planning timeline (5 months), and even with family supporting the process, a wedding planner became important to make efficient decisions. From our first meeting with Jesse, she made it a point to get to know us and prioritize our individualized style, asked the right questions (which we didn’t even know to ask), and had helpful vendor connections (including the photographer, DJ, and makeup artists that made our day smooth and special). Jesse continued to share her knowledge via email through busy wedding season prior to our coordination call. She continued to help us make many detailed adjustments that we did not foresee for a wedding at someone’s home (and not at a venue where logistics are built in). Billy was a great on-site coordinator, as was the last minute additional staff Jackie that helped a smooth setup including our livestream that we added in the final 3 weeks. We could not have pulled off this beautiful day without them!

Jesse and Dave are the best! Jesse built in ample time to meet with us in preparation for the "day of" planning services on Zoom, where we talked through details, timelines, and loose ends. We felt very prepared going into the big day. The day of the wedding, Dave was excellent. He was on it from the moment he came in until the reception was over. He made everything go smoothly and everything was flawless!

My now-husband and I weren't going to get a wedding planner. We thought doing it ourselves would save money and we are organized enough to execute the day. Hiring Jesse was the best decision we made. Any question we had, she found an answer. Traveling to Florida for our special day, always making us laugh and encouraging us to just be ourselves. Having Jesse by our side felt more like having a best friend who knew exactly what to do, and less like an event planner there to do a job. We know things went wrong on our day, but we never knew until sitting down days later. I can't recommend her company enough. But truly I can't recommend her enough. Jesse and Melody are kind, funny, engaging and incredible at their profession. I can't wait for my little brother to get married now just so we can hire her again! ☺️

I wish I could get married again!! Jesse did a great job answering my questions at first and then when Dave was assigned to my wedding he took everything I did, polished it and made it come to life the day of! I had the best time thanks to all your hard work.

We hired Jesse as a month of coordinator for our wedding. Jesse worked closely with us to put together a detailed itinerary for our wedding. Admittedly, we did not think this service was necessary and were hesitant to hire a wedding coordinator, however when it came to wedding day we quickly found that this took a ton of stress off of us and we were able to enjoy our day. Billy was our day of coordinator who we could not say enough great things about. He was very detailed and genuinly made sure that everything from floral setup to music and so much more, went exactly as we had discussed. Looking back on our wedding we would have hired Jesse and Billy much sooner.

Jesse got my design vision completely and helped me execute it in every way I wanted to. She was instrumental in making the day run properly and the way I envisioned it. She made the process easy!

Events by Jesse and Day of Coordinator Dave Adamick made our wedding magical, organized, and fluid. They went above and beyond before during and even after the ceremony. We couldn't imagine doing our wedding without them, they were an absolute godsend. Highly recommend!

My wedding day would have never been what it was without Jesse and her team. Our wedding was a DIY tent wedding in the middle of a hay field. No joke, my husband transformed the field from farm land to a wedding venue in less than 6 months. As a type A bride, I was very particular with what I wanted and had my hand in every single aspect of the planning. The one thing I DIDN'T want to do was be at the tent the day of setting tables, coordinating vendors, etc. I wanted to enjoy my morning getting ready. And that's where Jesse comes in! I worked with Jesse for a few weeks leading up to the wedding and she helped me iron out all the reaming details for our wedding. She asked me questions and coordinated things that never even crossed my mind! The day of she made sure everything went off without a hitch. She made my wedding dreams come true and I felt so relaxed knowing she was there to handle all the little details, while I enjoyed the morning with my family and friends. I cannot recommend her enough to help coordinate your wedding. She is the BEST!

We cannot thank Dave enough for all of his hard work! Our wedding day went so smooth and anything we needed Dave was right there jumping in so we didn’t have to worry about a thing. I used to work in the field and I am very particular about a lot of details. Dave understood and never fell short. Thank you for making our day so special and so perfect!

We cannot recommend Events by Jesse and specifically Dave Adamick enough for your special day. Dave consistently went above and beyond on our wedding day, but long before that he was consistent in communication, organized, patient, and kind. Dave was always there to lend a hand, jump in to roles / tasks that no one else wanted to, manage chaos, and ensure that we knew very little about the things that went wrong . We had a strong vision for what we wanted and Dave helped us clarify, condense, and focus on the things that mattered most. Before our initial meeting with Events by Jesse, we went back and forth on whether hiring a coordinator was worth it - a debate that is laughable at this point. We would not have enjoyed our wedding half as much without Dave there.

Jesse & her team were absolutely amazing. The planning process can be incredibly overwhelming, but Jesse was able to streamline and made everything efficient. She got to know us and her recommendations and vendors fit our style. Each step of the way, she was very organized and helped us with making sure decisions were thoughtful and made on time. On the day of the wedding, she was great as well. She took all of the chaos out of our hands so that we could relax and enjoy the day. Any issues that came up during the day were quickly resolved and she was available at a moment's notice. 10 out of 10 would recommend Jesse.

Jesse was such an important part of our wedding experience. We hired her during the initial stages of our planning and she was a constant, positive, knowledgeable resource throughout. She was always available and listened. She would hear our ideas and either agree or provide suggestions to improve. All of the vendors we work with love her. We came to love her. I am sure she will be just as important for you and your wedding planning - good luck!

Jesse was amazing from start to finish. We wanted a themed wedding (Harry Potter) and after getting recommended from a previous couple, we had a consultation with Jesse. She was super knowledgeable and made us feel comfortable right from that first phone call. Over the course of our planning, Jesse connected us with vendors and met with us to iron out details as we went along. About a month before our wedding, one of our vendors had an emergency and could no longer work with us. While I was a nervous wreck for a couple of days Jesse moved swiftly and got us a new vendor and worked us closely to ensure that all of our decor would be just as we envisioned. In the end it really was a minor setback that didn’t change what was originally planned. Our wedding day was fantastic! She worked with our venue and dj to ensure the timeline was right and we had a smooth amazing night. Anytime I had a question I knew she could help or find someone to help troubleshoot. I highly recommend hiring Jesse and her team!

Dave was INCREDIBLE! Super easy to communicate with and everything really came together like magic. I'm sure some things went wrong behind the scenes, but I had no idea about any of them because Dave just handled any issues as they came in. He had a calm yet fun vibe that really added positive energy into the whole day. He felt like a friend by the end of the night - it was hard to say goodbye!

We had an amazing experience working with Events by Jesse! We hired them about four months before our wedding after booking a venue and basically nothing else. From then on Dave was with us every step of the way guiding us through the planning process from vendor selection to the minute-by-minute schedule of the event. I honestly have no idea how we could have pulled off our event without him. He was extremely organized, easy to communicate with, and, importantly, a lot of fun to be around. With the level of stress the wedding was placing on my fiancée and me, it was crucial to have his calming, friendly presence to reassure us that it was going to turn out okay. Between his connections to vendors and excellent taste, we had an easy time choosing a caterer, photographer, band, etc. that we loved. When the day came, everything went off without a hitch. We truly had the wedding of our dreams thanks to Events by Jesse!

Dave, our day of coordinator was fantastic. He was very professional yet very easy to get along with and talk to. We were able to enjoy our wedding knowing that Dave had things covered. The few hiccups that did happen, he presented to us calmly with solutions to choose between. We never felt overwhelmed or over-stressed during the day. Communication was great througout the process starting 6 weeks out. By the day if the wedding he had put together a well tuned event schedule. Highly recommend Dave and Events by Jesse.

Events by Jesse was amazing. Every single aspect of working with them was great! My first calls were with Dave, who was immediately helpful. He was so great to talk to, and made me excited to begin the wedding planning process. I went with the "month of" coordinator option, because my fiance and I were choosing the vendors and making the decorations ourselves. So when the time came to meet our coordinator, I was so excited to meet Jesse! I am absolutely convinced that our wedding day was perfect because of Jesse. She planned everything down to the minute, was so prepared, and anticipated every need to make sure everything was taken care of. As a Type A person myself, I have pretty high standards in regards to organization and communication. Jesse surpassed all of my expectations. The calls we had scheduled were always on time, efficient, informative, and yet she also made us feel relaxed and excited o celebrate our wedding! Jesse also always made herself available to answer our other questions at any time of day (my frantic texts never went unanswered!) and she joined all of our calls with other vendors. Her support, guidance, and expertise really pulled our entire wedding together perfectly. Hiring Jesse was by far the best decision we made in the wedding planning process to ensure that we had the perfect day and actually got to enjoy our own wedding instead of worrying about any of the details.

I probably gave Jesse the most work to do in the littlest amount of time to go over things, but she got it ALL done!! Thank you for helping us on our big day. She worked so great with my other vendors. It was like a match made in heaven with the wedding coordinator at the venue and her. The venue was at first worried that they would step on each other's toes, but every now and then I would see them walking side by side like they work together everyday. You can tell that is the type of person Jesse is, falls into place everywhere.

Where do I begin?? Jesse is AMAZING!!! There’s no way we could’ve pulled off our incredible glam NYC rooftop wedding without her and her wonderful team and network! Jesse is professional, extremely organized, and very well connected with the best vendors in the business. Every vendor she found for us was exceptional and perfect. When we came up with unorthodox ideas for our wedding (because we’re pretty non traditional) she was supportive and helped us figure out how to make it work. She was also part of a plot to prank my husband the day of the wedding and the photos for that are pretty hilarious! We worked with Jesse for almost a year and felt we were in the best possible hands to bring our wedding vision to fruition. We really love her as a person as well!! Hiring Jesse to plan your event is one of the best decisions you’ll ever make, trust me. She and her team will make all your wedding dreams come true. Plus, you will have a blast working with her. Jesse and her team helped relieve my stress enormously by handling all the things I was so worried about. Even when we were getting close to the day and I was getting pretty nervous, she put me at ease by handling the tiny details and letting me focus on fun stuff. Jesse is simply the best!!
