I'm quite sad I didn't get a picture with Jennifer on my big day. She in many ways kept me calm, cool and collected as I planned my wedding in 90 days from inception to execution and I cannot recommend her enough. As a bride who works a full ...

time job in tech, I didn't have a ton of time to research wedding things on my own. Jennifer knows multiple vendors in each category and their price points and was a great resource as I weighed pros and cons and worked out cost benefit for each person I hired or rejected. She also went above and beyond in ensuring I had the best wedding day, by finding the perfect last minute vendor in getting my wedding signs, to setting up candles for me on the stairs. Jennifer was great at coordinating day of the wedding and also kept everyone in time and on schedule. I'm truly happy and lucky that I got to work with her on my big day. She's going to go places with her work ethic, knowledge of the wedding business and I cannot wait to see her success and all the Bride's she will make happy.

Any questions?

I hired Jennifer after I'd already done some planning and my only regret is that I didn't hire her immediately.

She went above and beyond, and we are so grateful she was part of our wedding day and that she became a friend through this process!

I'm the owner of Mackenzie Leigh Photography, and Jennifer and I worked a wedding together a few months ago. I cannot even imagine the stress of planning and coordinating weddings, but Jennifer made it seem easy. The day ran flawlessly, thanks ...

to her! On some wedding days, as a photographer, I find myself having to step into the role of coordinator as well, and it makes it difficult to focus on doing my actual job of creating beautiful images for my clients. This was not the case with Jennifer - she was so on top of things and made my job easier. She was also just super fun and kind and I loved working together! I hope I have the privilege of working with her again soon!

Jennifer is 1,000% the real deal. My wedding would have fallen apart if it wasn’t for her. I am not being dramatic when I say that. I honestly THOUGHT I knew what I was doing until I realized how CONSUMING it can be planning a wedding. Jennifer...

changed all of that. I recently moved into the DMV area during the pandemic and knew absolutely no one and connected with Jennifer through a work event. It’s as if the universe was trying to tell me something! Jennifer was completely hands-on and navigated every single detail during this process. She seamlessly managed all vendor communications and provided helpful suggestions to keep us in line within our budget. Her attention to detail is AMAZING! From picking out invitations with me, organizing my wedding website, wedding dress shopping, venue meetings, caterer callouts, selecting photographers, you name it and she was on top of it! I love how dedicated she was planning this experience with me! It was difficult not having my family or friends near by and Jennifer really came through for me. She was available every time I needed her and was quick to respond to all my questions. I am so lucky to have found her when I did. Jennifer is simply the best and her enthusiastic personality just makes wedding planning all the more the fun!
