When I got engaged, my first thought was “I need a planner if we’re going to pull this wedding off successfully,” but what we got in Jenna as our wedding planner for the past 11mo was so much more - a planner, a friend, a confidant, and someone... to make all the wedding chaos feel fun and most importantly EASY!
I can’t say enough about the service Jenna from Graceful Events provided my mom and I as we planned the multi day event. From managing all the big things like vendor selection down to how you tip them, she was there with us (or on our behalf, making so easy for us) every step of the way. She helped us think of so many things you don’t even know to ask about, helped navigate negotiations and understand industry pricing, and made meeting (phone, email, in person) so convenient, especially for a bride traveling internationally and rarely available at “normal hours!” She even brought in a designer, Stephanie Huttner, to help frame our concept and look/feel of what we wanted the whole wedding day to look like by incorporating a "Design Board" that we kept referencing/changing as the ideas flowed and the planning began; and Stephanie and Jenna were able to visualize and put together a board even better than my mom and I could have dreamed. And the pre wedding stress does really kick in one month before, but Jenna's weekly checklists had us feeling in control and comfortable every step of the way. Not to mention having her as my right hand person on the wedding day itself - she was there keeping everyone (all vendors included) managed with logistics and timing - if anything went wrong that day, I sure didn’t notice it, because she’s that good :)
