Fête du Jour Events

It is so hard to find words to fully express how wonderful Jennifer was as our wedding planner. I spoke with several planners at the beginning of the planning process before Jennifer and I knew she was the one as soon as I talked to her because of her positive and friendly energy. She was so amazing and helpful throughout the entire planning process. From selecting vendors, to countless planning calls, to being so responsive to all my emails/texts. Our wedding was at my parents’ house, and we honestly had no idea what we were getting ourselves into when we made that decision. We basically had to create an entire venue for 100+ people from scratch, which was such an undertaking, and we could not have done it without Jennifer. Our wedding week especially was so much work. Jennifer made the drive out there almost every day that week and would spend the entire day helping out in any way she could. She also was SO personable with everyone in our wedding party and our families. My parents absolutely adored her, and she made them so at ease in an otherwise extremely hectic time of having a ton of people you don’t know coming and going in your house and at your property. On the day of our rehearsal, she ended up staying hours after the rehearsal was over and the main set up was complete in order to do a ton of flower arrangements for the wedding so that I could go get ready for our rehearsal dinner. Totally was not part of her job at all but she happily volunteered and they turned out amazing. On our wedding day, there was a ton of miscellaneous décor that I did not have a specific plan for and I completely trusted her to just do whatever she thought would look good and it all looked amazing! She even did the flowers for our cake! By the time we got to that day, we had been spending so much time together that I genuinely missed her while the bridal party was getting ready at a different location that morning. I also had an entire notebook of little details and instructions for the day and she did not miss a beat. She made sure the entire day went exactly how we wanted it to and was still able to somehow always make sure each of us had a drink and everything that we needed. There have been several times since the wedding where my husband and I and our families have just raved about how amazing she was. We seriously could not recommend her enough. Our wedding day was literally perfect and it would not have been possible without her!!

3 simple words - JUST HIRE JENNIFER! Then, you will get a hassle free, anxiety free, fun and memorable wedding experience. I hired Jennifer for Fete management & design, she not only flawlessly managed all my vendors before & on the big day, and provided huge assistance on the design aspects (i.e., colors, plates, linens, etc.). Especially we had a destination wedding, Jennifer did multiple venue visits for us. When we had issues with the floral, Jennifer stood by my side and backed me up, so that I could still get what I was promised to get. She is just amazing to work with, both my husband and I, even our parents believe hiring her was literally the best decision we made during the whole wedding planning process. She saved time and money for us, she was ready to do anything we needed, and did above and beyond. In short, money well spent!

There is organized, very organized. and then there is Jennifer. Jennifer operates on a different level, allowing everyone around her to be less anxious and generally at ease. From the get-go, she logistically handled herself well with other vendors, worked diligently with us as we planned our big day, and did it all with a Grade-A attitude. On the day-of, her help was paramount and she did truly a great job. Bonus points: She's all around an extremely nice and genuine person.

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.

We hired Jennifer for day-of coordination for our clients' wedding. She did an amazing job keeping things organized, communicating with the clients and all the vendors, and working with our team to make the wedding seamless. We highly recommend Jennifer for your wedding planning and day-of coordination needs!

Words cannot describe how fantastic Jenn was from start to finish. Although we just hired her for day of coordination our wedding was FLAWLESS. And she was an absolute gem to be around along the way. Cannot recommend enough!!!! HIRE HER!!!

From my first call with Jennifer, I knew that she would be extraordinarily attentive and thoughtful. She was extremely communicative and took the time to understand what my husband and I cared about. She helped me manage the minutia of my wedding, was creative in helping find solutions, was an incredible advocate for us, and respected our budget. I hired Jennifer after I'd already done some planning and my only regret is that I didn't hire her immediately. So many of our guests commented on how perfect our wedding was, and I know that was thanks to Jennifer. 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!

Jennifer is professional, organized, thoughtful and a wonderful person to top it off! With THREE different locations my wedding was a logistical nightmare but somehow she pulled it off! She not only helped me plan and coordinate but fought for me when my other vendors weren’t pulling weight. So happy I went with her!

Jen is truly the reason our wedding was as amazing as it was. I called her in a panic on a friday night after just a week of planning because I was already losing my mind, and she talked to me for an hour. The next day I had an email of about 20 venues to look through and pick from. She helped me find every vendor, design every detail, and more importantly became a friend. Every text was answered, every logistic was dealt with, and my friends and family had an incredible time. Hiring her was the best decision I made for my wedding, by far.

Ah-Maz-Ing! Jennifer is woman in charge of the day and we were so lucky she was part of the whole process of our wedding planning. She is an incredibly happy woman who wants her bride to be happy and stress free. Everyone loved her and I trusted her with everything. She is organized, cheerful, focused and more! Highly recommend!

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!

There are no words to describe the amazing experience we had with Jen! She made our dream day possible, providing thoughtful, insightful, and inspiring assistance every step of the way. Responsive, punctual, and enthusiastic. Would highly recommend Jen!

What can I say other than she is AMAZING! From the first day, she was on top of everything which was so great because we only had 3 months to plan EVERYTHING! She never lost her cool, was always super patient with last minute requests and changes and always there. She was super accessible even during the weekends when she's supposed to be off. She put together basically a DIY event like she'd done it a million times. My whole family loved her because she's warm, funny and a true professional. I didn't have to worry about anything the day of because I knew she'd handle it and she did! You will not regret working with her! She's a gem! I miss her!

Jennifer was absolutely incredible!!!! She was on top of everything and made the whole process leading up to our wedding as well as the wedding day stress free. She is also completely adorable and I’m absolutely obsessed with her. I cannot recommend her enough and will be recommending her to everyone I know who gets engaged.

Jennifer is AMAZING!!! I have like 10,000 good things to say but I will try to sum it up with a few key points... -She is always reachable which was crucial when planning, especially the weeks leading up to the big day -She handled the few issues that inevitably came up on the wedding day and took care of them quickly! -She is smart, fun and truly cares that your day is exactly as you envision it to be There are just so many details that have to fall into place and she will make sure they all happen. We loved her!!!

Hiring Jennifer was one of the best decisions my partner and I made in regards to our micro-wedding. She understood our aesthetic from the jump and was so enthusiastic about our ideas. Her vendor suggestions were always in line with our vision and budget. She was super communicative and answered all our questions in a timely manner. On the day of she went above and beyond the call of duty not only making sure our day ran smoothly, but also jumping in to assist our elderly grandparents when we were unable to. We felt like she was part of our families by the end of the evening. I consider myself lucky to now call her my friend!

I hired Fête du Jour for my wedding and was thrilled with my choice. I was a tough bride because I have really high expectations and standards (and I definitely want things done a certain way), but I’m also extremely busy and didn’t want to spend my precious free time stressing over fonts and napkin rings. I met with Jenn, she totally got my aesthetic, and by our next meeting she had an amazing binder full of vendors that blew me away. I signed off on the big stuff, left the details to her, and had a totally stress free day that I actually enjoyed. Please do yourself a favor and hire her!!!

This was the best wedding I have ever attending/been in ( and I’ve been to my fair share). It was so perfectly put together and Fête du Jour Events thought of every last detail. I had the pleasure of being apart of my best friend’s wedding as her MOH, and everything was as the bride envisioned and more. I know exactly who to turn to and TRUST when I am planning my special day. Fête du Jour Events is also amazing at finding beautiful decorations and decor that suits every bride’s wishes! Fête du Jour Events makes dreams into reality! Highly highly recommend!!!

If you are deciding whether to book Jennifer as your wedding planner- don’t hesitate!! She will go above and beyond your expectations! Wedding planning is her true passion and it shines through in every event she coordinates. You will be amazed by her professionalism, organization, attention to detail, and commitment to YOU on your special day. You will be relieved to place your confidence in Jennifer and know that your vision will be executed to perfection! Worth every penny and more!

Jenn is one of the best in the business! I watched her plan her own wedding from scratch and was amazed at how she was able to transform a tent in a backyard into a picturesque French celebration. The best part? Jenn knows how to make a little bit of money go a long way, and you can trust her to always have your best interest at heart. She’s worked with some of the best in the business, and she knows who to contact for the best flowers, food, and alterations!

Hiring Jenn to plan your wedding is one of the best decisions you will make while wedding planning! She will be there every step of the way and go above and beyond to make all your wedding day dreams come true. Jenn prides herself on being there for you so you can enjoy the best day of your life without any worry or stress. There is no doubt that she is worth every penny!

Jenn is absolutely fantastic. Amid a global pandemic Jenn was (and still is) so beyond helpful navigating through all the changes. She has helped me pick out flowers/decor on the more affordable side which has been such a lifesaver (especially during these times). She doesn’t treat you like any other client, but actually like a friend. I think that’s the most important part in having a wedding planner. Would definitely recommend!

Jennifer is the perfect planner for all of your wedding needs! She planned her entire wedding from start to finish, and you can tell from all of the beautiful photos that wedding planning is what she was born to do. Her organizational skills and attention to detail are amazing. And the cherry on top is that she is so friendly and dependable— she will be there for you from the beginning stages of planning to even after your big day has ended. She is simply the best!
