What stood out the most was her ability to turn our vision into reality. The decor was stunning, the logistics were flawless, and the energy throughout the weekend was joyful and stress-free—all thanks to Jalpa and the incredible team. One thing about Jalpa we loved was she was always a step ahead, offering solutions before we even realized we needed them. We received so many compliments from our family members and guests about how well-organized and beautiful the wedding was, and we owe it all to Jalpa. If you’re looking for someone who is detail-oriented, creative, and genuinely passionate about making your wedding unforgettable, look no further! Everyone needs a Jalpa in their life!

ngs are no small feat, and Jalpa handled every detail with such ease and professionalism. Everyone raved about how organized and on-time the wedding was, and it’s all thanks to her meticulous planning. She made what could have been a stressful experience feel effortless and enjoyable. On the wedding day, Jalpa truly outdid herself. From ensuring we were well-fed to making sure our outfits were perfect, she was there for us every step of the way. It was wonderful working with Jalpa, and we’re so grateful for her dedication and expertise. If you’re looking for someone who will make your wedding dreams a reality, Jalpa is the one to call!

selection, to venues, to food tasting and decor design sessions. Rumi was there with us every single step away. She had meetings with us on a weekly basis and was great with our parents who joined all meetings!! She was so insightful and had the best advice through the entire process and always had the best recommendations based on our taste!! She really took the stress out of wedding planning and took the burden on herself. The week of the wedding was incredible. Our families were able to be in the moment and had the best time because she took over and ran the events with her team !! Tarak and Jiya really took care of us - Rumi and the team made sure we ate and tried all the food, helped me go to the bathroom in my dress, fixed my makeup, put my veil on, held my lip gloss and jewelry, made sure we got all the pictures, made sure all family members were in the right place and having fun, made sure we got to dance ! Because of them we had so much fun at every single event! I truly can’t thank them enough!! Our wedding would not have been possible without them

er and felt more like a good friend and part of the bridal party haha! Her positive attitude and execution made our wedding experience so much better. Thank you for everything, J2R❤️

her before. Our first interaction we knew that Jalpa would be the perfect wedding coordinator for us. She made the whole wedding planning process feel stress-free. From the very beginning, she was attentive, organized, and truly understood our vision. She gave really good recommendations that fit within our budget. Every detail was handled with care. Our multi-day wedding went very smoothly and we were able to fully enjoy ourselves knowing we were in good hands.Her professionalism, creativity, and dedication made our wedding unforgettable. We are beyond thrilled with Jalpa and her team with the incredible job they did for our wedding! We couldn’t recommend her enough!

recommendations from friends who had worked with her previously, and we couldn’t be happier with our decision. From start to finish, Rumi and her team exceeded every expectation. As the bride, I felt completely at ease throughout the entire weekend, thanks to her exceptional coordination. I was able to fully trust her with all the details, and she delivered beyond anything I could have imagined. Given that I was the first bride in my family in over 13 years, and the first among my friends to get married, the planning process was naturally stressful. Rumi, however, was a calming and reassuring presence at every step. She is prompt, passionate, kind, and honest. Even a month after our wedding, our friends and families on both sides continue to talk about Rumi, Jalpa, her husband Tarak, and the rest of their team, including her children. Rumi truly can handle any challenge that arises. Our wedding was a fusion of two distinct traditions, involving both a church and a traditional Hindu ceremony, and she managed everything seamlessly. Her ability to go above and beyond is unparalleled. She was always available throughout the planning process, offering guidance and answering questions through her open text policy. On one occasion, she even stepped in to assist with an event she wasn’t originally booked for, resolving last-minute complications by coordinating with her network of contacts. This kind of dedication speaks volumes about her commitment to her clients. Every vendor we worked with had nothing but praise for Rumi, frequently expressing how much they enjoy working with her. Beyond her exceptional coordination skills, Rumi and her team are genuinely wonderful people who took the time to get to know us, our bridal party, and our families on a personal level. Though there were minor issues with some other vendors during the wedding and reception, Rumi handled them promptly and discreetly. Often, she resolved these matters before I, as a bride even became aware of them. Without hesitation, I would choose Rumi and her team again, and I highly recommend them to any future bride and groom. Our wedding simply wouldn’t have been the same without them!

on time! From the start, as the lead planner, you were incredibly organized and took the time to understand both Brian and me. You found the balance between my love for all things dreamy and Brian's grounded, logical approach. You also made it a priority to understand what mattered most to both of us and our families, and you delivered flawlessly at every step. As a bride who is somewhat of a ‘control enthusiast’ (let’s be real), it wasn’t easy for me to let go of the reins. But it didn’t take long for me to realize that you had everything under control. You planned everything well in advance and executed it all beautifully. Your family became like our family—whether it was your cousin stepping in to help or your son assisting with cake tasting when we couldn’t make it, we always felt so cared for. On the day of the wedding, your team (and even your husband!) were there for us in every way. You made sure we were fed and hydrated, knowing how hard it is to step away from guests. You even knew the best people to care for our dog, Emory! And let’s not forget: you steamed all of Brian’s clothes. Who does that? You’re not just a planner; you’re a wedding wizard with a checklist for everything! Your dedication is unmatched. I still remember you saying, ‘Don't worry if something happens to me or I get into an accident, my husband and Jalpa will be there to take care of everything.’ To which Brian replied, ‘I hope your husband is with you at the hospital if that happens!’ But that’s the level of commitment you bring that made us feel so reassured (and kept us laughing). Thank you Rumi and to J2R Events for planning our perfect wedding. You went above and beyond in ways we’ll never forget, and we're so grateful for you. Love, Kruthika & Brian August 30, 2024

wedding weekend, she was an absolute rock star. From keeping everything on time to making sure everyone was in place, she ensured the entire event went off without a hitch. Her attention to detail and ability to anticipate our needs made all the difference. We got so many compliments from guests about how well things went and how every detail was thought through. She was incredibly supportive of my us, especially during such an important moment in our lives. Not only did she manage the logistics flawlessly, but she also went the extra mile, literally—driving us to different destinations to make sure we stayed on schedule. One of the standout qualities was how gracefully she handled the family dynamics. She approached everything with such care and professionalism, making sure everyone felt comfortable and included. It truly helped keep the atmosphere calm and enjoyable. If you're looking for someone who can balance logistics and bringing your vision to reality as well as thoughtful care, we highly recommend J2R Events!

ersonally and understand our vision for the wedding. She felt like a big sister to us, always attentive and genuinely invested in making sure everything went smoothly. On the morning of our wedding, our getaway vehicle broke down and wouldn’t be able to come, but Rumi handled the situation flawlessly. She found us a couple of great options before even telling us there was an issue, making sure we didn’t feel stressed at all. On the day of our wedding, she was a calming presence, handling every detail and making sure we could fully enjoy our wedding. Her expertise and genuine interest was visible in every aspect, and we couldn’t have asked for a better coordinator. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional planner!

policy. She would have regular meetings with us and keep us on track with the entire process. The day of is when she and her team really shined. The multi-day festivities were flawless and went incredibly smoothly. She and her team made an extra effort to ensure the bride and groom got to eat and take breaks as needed. Because of the J2R team, we were able to fully enjoy our special day and that is absolutely invaluable. On top of this, she was extremely patient and accommodating with us. She really made our dreams into a reality. Would highly recommend J2R!

cial day truly unforgettable. Jalpa and her team orchestrated every element flawlessly, ensuring that every aspect of our vision came to life with ease and elegance. Her expertise and calm demeanor were evident throughout the planning process, and on the big day, her team’s professionalism and dedication were unparalleled. Every detail, from the intricate decor to the smooth flow of events, was executed with precision and grace. Our families and guests were continuously impressed with how seamlessly everything came together. It was clear that Jalpa and her team were committed to making our events perfect, and they certainly delivered beyond our expectations. They made sure our DIY projects were displayed perfectly and event better than we had imagined. In addition, Jalpa and her team did an excellent job of communicating with our families and making sure we were all on the same page. We cannot thank Jalpa and her team enough for their hard work, creativity, and unwavering support. If you’re looking for a wedding coordinator who will turn your dreams into reality with effortless charm, look no further. We are forever grateful for the role they played in making our wedding the happiest day of our lives. We will be the first to sing our praises to anyone that asks about J2R Events and Jalpa. If you’re planning a wedding, please take the stress off of yourself and your families and include Jalpa and her team in the planning process. Not only will you gain a wonderful planning team but also a great group of friends along the way.

tacles was remarkable. Over the 3-day wedding celebration of Sonia and Chris, Rumi flawlessly managed the setup of multiple events, constantly working to address any last-minute changes and ensure that everything was perfect. Rumi and her team left no stone unturned ensuring a platinum service for each of the 250+ guests throughout the 3-days of events. Even with an unforeseen microburst storm hitting just minutes prior to the reception dinner, she miraculously endured and restored the setup of the venue to its original pristine condition. By the time the guests arrived, it appeared as if the storm had never occurred. That is just one example of her incredible ability to solve problems as they arise, even under pressure. Rumi was available to us 24/7, providing support, peace of mind, and reassurance at every stage of the planning process. Her passionate efforts, hard work, and impeccable execution made the wedding events of Sonia & Chris so remarkable that we will treasure the memories for a lifetime. -Dipak & Ginni Doshi

able to communicate effectively with other vendors. Her amazing organization skills and attention to detail impressed us right away and made us feel more relaxed and comfortable for our big weekend. When mentioning that we had Rumi as our lead planner to other vendors we were working with, they all immediately said she was the best and were so relieved because they know any event she works for will be executed to perfection. She was professional with everyone and was very flexible if we had changes to make. My dad even gave her a shoutout in his reception speech haha. We highly recommend working with the J2R team for your big wedding weekend, it is well worth the money! Thank you again to J2R!!

step of the process. She scheduled meetings with vendors, made sure everyone is on the same page, and put together a detailed timeline for the wedding weekend. Where Jalpa and her team SHINED even more was from the start of the wedding week. Jalpa went above and beyond to make sure that each and every single logistical item was taken care of. From setting up welcome bags and posters to making sure the caterer was setting up everything on time to getting the bride and groom food to make sure they eat before the event starts - she literally thought of everything. It truly blows my mind how weather-related challenges and schedule delays weren’t even discussed with us and were just solved on the backend so we could have the best weekend ever. We are so pleased with the job that J2R Events did and 100% recommend hiring them!

of that, she's just an amazing person with the kindest heart! It was so easy working with her. We had multiple calls reviewing timelines, vendors, and overall details for the wedding to ensure everything went smoothly. The events were everything we could have hoped for and more! Throughout the process, she became a really good friend. She made the extra effort to get to know us better individually and as a couple and made us feel so special. Even in the midst of all the events, she was always so calm and collected. We loved working with Rumi and would highly recommend her!

our day incredibly special. She became a second mom on the day of the wedding. We loved her services and her ability to connect with us beyond just being another couple that she was planning a wedding for. Throughout the process, she kept us engaged and we never felt lost or anxious. The day went flawlessly and it was absolutely magical. We will miss her bi weekly calls and check ins. Loved our experience with her!

a personal level stood out to us. She quickly became not just our wedding planner, but also a friend. Her attention to detail, unwavering support and ability to alleviate stress made our wedding weekend flawless. Jalpa’s expertise and passion shines in every aspect of her work. She took the time to understand our vision for the wedding, consulted with our parents to know their priorities and suggested vendors who would bring it all to life. She facilitated discussions with our vendors, negotiated the price, advised us on décor, helped manage the budget and coordinated all of the logistics. With an extensive network of vendors at her disposal, she effortlessly fulfilled even our last-minute requests. For example - we casually told her we wanted a live painter 1 week before our wedding, and she had one secured by the end of the day. We were constantly amazed by Jalpa’s dedication and resourcefulness. Whenever we called her feeling overwhelmed or stressed, she was there to lift the burden and ensure that everything will run smoothly. Her husband, Mitul, and J2R co-founder, Rumi, also helped during our wedding weekend making it truly unforgettable. We were able to focus on our friends, family and each other because we knew that J2R had everything else taken care of. If you are looking for a wedding planner to bring your dream to reality, look no further than Journey to Remember Events! Their dedication, professionalism and passion will exceed your expectations. With the experience Jalpa and her team have under their belt, you are definitely in safe hands add can enjoy every step of the process. We can’t recommend them enough!

iculous and efficient in her work, and endlessly committed to making our wedding week a success. Our first meeting with Rumi was about 15 months before our wedding. Rumi was so warm, welcoming and kind. She was honest and laid out exactly what we needed to know in regards to timelines for planning, budget and cost, vendor selection, etc. She learned about our dream vision, our likes/dislikes, the things that were non-negotiably important to us and our families. We could see immediately that she was going to put her heart and soul into all that she was going to do. More importantly, it was immediately evident to us that she LOVES what she does and truly enjoys the process of helping couples achieve their special day. Rumi helped us select our vendors (which was a huge relief). She did thorough research, offered us the best budget friendly options and asked questions to the vendors that we wouldn’t have otherwise thought to ask but was ultimately important to know. Even though she and her team handle multiple weddings at a time, it felt like she was only there for us. She kept us on track in terms of timeline and we felt ahead of the game the entire time which was a GIANT relief. The last month leading up to the wedding, she met with us weekly over zoom to put all the final details together, planned meetings with all our vendors to meet together, and even talked to each of our families separately and then together to iron out all the timelines of wedding week. Before we knew it, wedding week was upon us. rumi flew in the same day we did and immediately got to work meeting with all the vendors in person, finalizing decor, coordinating with our on site resort team, and helping prepare welcome bags, doing final walk throughs etc. Rumi triaged everything and handled it so well. It was also here that we met the remainder of the J2R Team: Tarak Shah and Jalpa Patel. We had just met but felt like we had known them for years. They were so enthusiastic and looked after us so well the entire week. Together the entire J2R team was a cohesive and seamless unit, extremely efficient and communicated with each other flawlessly. Rumi was patient with our families, showed them utmost respect, and most importantly, did this all without letting the stress of it reach the bride and groom. She made sure the older family members had Indian food to eat at the resort, she ensured that food was sent to both the bride and groom as we were getting ready, made all of our guests feel so comfortable and most importantly for an indian wedding, ensured thar EVERYTHING ran on time. We were amazed at how she did this, never once missing a beat and always with a smile, completely calm under pressure. On wedding day itself, Rumi, Tarak and Jalpa’s communication was meticulous and our entire wedding was a success because of them. We could go on forever about how amazing Rumi is and all the details that she handled so perfectly but if you really want to know for yourself, hire her as your wedding planner. It was the first and best decision we made during our planning process. We have and will continue to refer her to our family and friends for their future events. Through it all, she became a friend and confidant and we can’t wait to see her again and catch up about life! Thank you Rumi and all of J2R for bringing our dream wedding to life.

e was able to guide us through every step of the process from picking the venue to hiring all the vendors. She was very realistic and practical and gave us recommendations based our our budget. She is very familiar with all the local vendors and was able to guide us to choose the ones who best fit our wants and needs. The weekend of our wedding she was hustling to make sure everything was perfect and her expertise and professionalism really showed. She was able to handle some unexpected complicated matters with grace and without overwhelming us or our families, which we are extremely grateful for. By the end of the wedding she felt like a family member to us. I would definitely recommend Jalpa for anyone looking to have a multiple event Indian wedding.

wedding planning process and transforming my dream of a perfect big fat Indian wedding into a reality. From the initial consultation to the final moments of the big day, Jalpa demonstrated professionalism, creativity, and an unwavering commitment to making our wedding a truly magical experience. Over the course of 14 months, she assisted in booking every vendor, coordinating/communicating seamlessly with the venue and our vendors (decor, catering, DJ, video/photo, etc.), helped pick out small wedding details, and provided invaluable insights and advice. Her ability to listen to my needs and help my vendors understand my vision truly made every decision feel informed and stress-free. One of the aspects I appreciated most about working with Jalpa was her flexibility. Jalpa understood my type-A personality and my desire to be hands-on with planning, she allowed me to communicate directly with vendors and take charge when needed, while still providing the necessary support and expertise. Jalpa maintained open and clear communication throughout the entire planning process. She was responsive to emails, calls, and any questions or concerns we had. This made us feel confident and assured that our wedding was in capable hands. Jalpa's commitment to her clients is unparalleled. When the big weekend arrived, Jalpa, Mitul, and her J2R team were so efficient and ensured that everything ran smoothly and ON TIME, a remarkable feat given our sizable guest count of close to 600. All thanks to Jalpa's impeccable organization and coordination skills, we truly got to enjoy our wedding weekend without worrying about logistics. She also effortlessly handled the intricacies of our Hindu wedding and vidhi ceremony. Her ability to communicate with my parents and the priest ensured that every detail and the complex steps of the ceremony were flawlessly executed. Hiring Jalpa was single-handedly the BEST decision I made when planning my wedding. Every single one of our guests complimented the wedding (which is very rare for an Indian wedding). They all complimented how beautiful, organized, and fun the wedding was. They also all loved the food. Even three months later, our guests are still talking about our wedding weekend. This honestly would have not been possible without Jalpa. I highly recommend her for all your wedding planning and coordination needs. You will not regret hiring her. Jalpa cares deeply about her clients and goes above and beyond to create unforgettable experiences. I wholeheartedly recommend Jalpa to anyone looking for a dedicated and talented wedding planner. Thank you Jalpa, for making our wedding day the best day of our lives!

the past year of wedding planning. In Chicago, there are multiple wedding planners that specialize in South Asian weddings, but hands down we cannot express how invaluable Rumi and her team at J2R events were in helping our big day go off without a hitch. She was incredibly detail-oriented, seamlessly blended customs from both sides of the family, and just had this natural talent for planning for every expected and unexpected twist in each of our events. It really highlights how valuable her multiple years of experience in the industry are. Originally, we had hired Rumi to be our day-of coordinator, but looking back, we definitely wish we had hired her for all of our events after seeing how amazing she was during our big day. One piece of advice when it comes to choosing your planner, you want someone who not only commits to the success of the event but, more importantly, invests in the couple themselves. You’ll come to realize that one of the hardest things to have during the planning season is having a voice. A voice among the hundreds of opinions regarding traditions, superstitions, and all the other aspects that make our culture so unique and amazing. However, Rumi always made sure that our voice as a couple was focused upon and that our wants and desires for our wedding were respectfully followed. At every step, she made sure we felt listened to, and that is priceless when it comes to choosing who will help plan for the big day. We really appreciated the guidance, support, and experience from Rumi, who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure our vision for their wedding came to life. Can’t thank J2R enough! Highly recommend!

he first interview, we knew that this is the type of wedding planner that we were looking for: organized, experienced, and full of positive energy. Throughout the year, we had frequent meetings and Jalpa helped us coordinate communications between all of our vendors - decor, catering, DJ, video/photo, and even our clothing designers. It helps that Jalpa and J2R has had so much experience with weddings so there was nothing they haven’t seen before. This helped alleviate a lot of the stress that goes into wedding planning. When it comes to the wedding day itself, Jalpa and her team ran an incredibly organized event that our guests really appreciated. There was no stress about logistics during the wedding day itself and I had the opportunity to just actually ENJOY my wedding! It’s the happiest day of your life and Jalpa made the experience even happier. I highly, highly recommend J2R - talk to them and you’ll see!

a close friend as someone who "gets things done." And she 100% got things done. Wedding planning can be a long and stressful process. You want to work with a planner and vendors that will help take that stress off your plate so you can focus on the important things - like enjoying your engagement! The best part of working with Jalpa was that it did not feel like she was just a vendor - but rather, she was a partner in our special time that truly cared about our well being, our wishes, and our happiness. The unique thing about our wedding was that we were based in Chicago and we had mostly Chicago vendors traveling to Indianapolis. This could make logistics a bit complicated but with Jalpa's leadership, there were no issues at all. Our wedding day was orchestrated perfectly, and our friends and family were blown away by how organized (and on time!!!) everything was. If you're planning a wedding, I don't think there are many options better than J2R Events. You'll realize that quickly when you talk to them/interview with them. I will be recommending them to all my friends and family, near and far. Just look at all the reviews here - J2R Events has fans and friends for life after weddings.

re not only helpful for the things we knew about, but we're so diligent and helpful in finding blind spots and making sure everything went off without a hitch. My wife and I have very vocal and opinionated families, and J2R made everyone feel welcome and coordinated even though each event included half of the guests not knowing anything about that the cultural aspects of that event. They were patient, kind, proactive, responsive ,considerate, and just overall an absolute pleasure to work with. HIGHLY recommend J2R for any and all wedding planning needs!!

on of the various vendors. She reached out to all of the important people, making sure each person was aware of their roles and responsibilities. Jalpa and her team were omnipresent during each event, making sure the timeline was adhered to and that we got to enjoy food and drinks ourselves. Months before the wedding, it is easy to question whether such services are necessary. After going through wedding week ourselves, we were counting our blessings for having had such an amazing coordinator and team help us along the way. I would wholeheartedly recommend Jalpa's services for anyone interested in a smooth wedding experience!

service. She even got favorable rates with a few of them. The biggest value she delivered was on event days, when she and her team ensured smooth execution. As parents, we were able to enjoy the moment and spend quality time with family and friends, knowing that J2R team had our backs! She personally helped us with a surprise audio-visual presentation we had planned for the couple at the reception! Rumi was very easy to work with and responsive to queries along the way. She even got us a partial refund when a flaw was detected with one of the vendors. Overall, we would highly recommend J2R team for your event planning

rganized and on top of every detail. Her warm and friendly demeanor made the entire process stress-free, and it felt like we had nothing to worry about. Thanks to her expertise, our wedding day was perfect, and we couldn't have asked for a better planner. Highly recommend!

ll crammed in a week with a reception venue that was put up a few days before the event! Even with how complicated our wedding events were, Rumi was on top of everything. A commanding leader that can work with multiple vendors, juggling lots of priorities to get the job done right in a high-pressure environment, all with a smile on her face. Rumi tackled any issue that came up with poise and made sure to solve any challenge quickly. Rumi and her team helped us plan the wedding of our dreams, and most importantly, executed it flawlessly. Highly recommend J2R!!

e. She helped us navigate through choosing vendors, communicate our wants and needs, and advise us on decisions. Rumi is very easy to work with and helped keep us sane during the planning process. She's meticulous and very detail-oriented, which is exactly what we needed from a wedding planner. Anytime we had a question, day or late night, she was available to answer them promptly and thoroughly; we are truly appreciative of her responsiveness! During the week of the wedding festivities, Rumi and her team were attentive, focused, and kept everyone in check to ensure the timeline was followed to a tee. She did an excellent job communicating the timeline to us, our parents, and the bridal party. Expectations were clearly laid out and we were all aligned on them. She also did a great job making sure we had time to eat (even bringing up breakfast the morning of the wedding), and that we always had drinks in hand. No detail is too small with this group and that definitely did not go unnoticed. We absolutely could not have done this without Rumi and her team's help, and we have found a friendship with her that extends beyond the wedding context. There should be no hesitation when choosing a wedding planner because Rumi/J2R is the clear and obvious choice.

ble to create a detailed and accurate timeline. She was commanding enough to keep us on track and get things done, but flexible and kind enough to make us feel more relaxed during the day. Her team thought of clever and effective solutions to issues that popped up on the day of the event (including dress malfunctions!). The days she and her team were present were the only days my now husband and I had the time to eat with our guests! I cannot recommend her and her team highly enough. If you aren't sure if you should choose her, I will tell you now - you won't regret having J2R manage your event!

. Rumi got involved about 3 weeks before our wedding day, and she was immediately on it! She began contacting and coordinating with our various vendors and had multiple Zoom calls with us and our parents to address the smaller details as well. Leading up to the wedding day, Rumi did an amazing job of balancing questions from us, our parents and the vendors with patience and attention to detail. The spreadsheet she created to track the timing of our wedding day minute-by-minute was so helpful as well in the planning process for both us, our family and friends, and the other vendors. Once the big day came, Rumi and her team handled every little detail. We even had one larger issue pop up, but Rumi literally saved the day by phoning in one of her many vendor contacts to come and help handle it last minute. With J2R Events as your wedding planner, you can rest assured that your big day(s) will go smoothly! My husband and I were able to enjoy every moment without having to worry about anything.

al wedding. We had our wedding here in Chicago, however, my family is currently living in Canada. We went with the full service package and I remember early in the initial wedding planning process, Jalpa had a Zoom call with me and my parents. She told them not to worry about anything because she would be here in Chicago to help me in every way possible, and that is exactly what she did. Jalpa was extremely detail oriented, was always available for a phone call and was quick to respond to text messages. She was extremely friendly and so much fun to work with! She always had a smile on her face and made every phone call, every vendor meeting and every moment so much more special. My husband and I always felt supported knowing that Jalpa was there to help us, every step of the way. Jalpa went the extra mile to always communicate with me, my husband and our families. She was amazing and because of her kind, bubbly and thoughtful personality, everyone got along so well! If I was ever nervous about something or had a question about anything, Jalpa made me feel better and always had an answer. Jalpa was always extremely organized, helped us find the BEST vendors, communicated with those vendors and made sure all the payments were done on time. Since I am not originally from Chicago, finding local vendors (that catered to both cultures) was extremely important to us and we LOVED every single one of them. Jalpa and her team made sure every wedding event had been planned perfectly and made sure to execute the timeline flawlessly, as well. My husband and I were so impressed with how Jalpa and her team kept us on time, brought us food and drinks during these events, and packed up everything so there was no stress on us after these events. I am so happy with how everything turned out and I owe all the planning and execution to Jalpa Patel and her J2R Events team. We are truly touched by how special our wedding was and how much fun we had planning our wedding with Jalpa. We love Jalpa, J2R Events and their team and would highly recommend them to anyone in need of an event planner!

ty to cater to our needs and ensure we had everything we needed at the moment we needed it. The day not only went according to plan- we stayed ahead of schedule!

. Despite only doing a “30-day out” contract, Jalpa began working with us much earlier than that. She knew the answers to not just our questions but even our parents questions. During the wedding weekend, she was always on top of the timeline and her team was around to help us through every step of the process. There is something to be said about a planner who can control a gujurati crowd without coming off as “rude”. She was respectful but on track the whole time and kept our guests comfortable too! We didn’t have to think about any of our vendors and could just focus on getting married and having fun! Our guests are still complimenting us on how smooth and efficient the weekend was and we owe much of that to Jalpa and her team. I would highly recommend J2R for any of your important events; they won’t let you down!

reputation. They seamlessly incorporated services from their wide range of vendors that perfectly aligned with our Indian, Mexican, Hindu, and Catholic traditions. Jalpa, Rumi, and Mitul were truly amazing. Jalpa's careful attention to our budget and unwavering commitment to providing exceptional service left us very impressed. Every single detail was flawlessly executed, and their understanding and support made the entire process stress-free. We highly recommend J2R Events for full wedding planning. They exceeded our expectations with their professionalism, expertise, and dedication. They even managed to keep us on track during a challenging interstate move. A heartfelt thank you to the J2R team for being an essential part of our special day!

k without her. We started off our planning process cross country, with countless phone/video calls and virtual meetings with vendors. Throughout it all, Rumi was extremely responsive, communicative, and dependable. She went above and beyond with getting us answers to questions and in guiding us through the whole process. As we approached the two months leading up to our wedding, we had a couple of last minute changes in vendors and structure of events, but Rumi handled and coordinated these changes with such grace. Fast forward to the week of our wedding, and I can happily say that my parents, husband, and I were all able to thoroughly enjoy the entire experience and didn’t feel stressed about any of the coordination or execution of events because we had Rumi and J2R on board with us. Not only are they exceptional planners, but they are all such incredible people who will take the time to get to know you, your family, and your vision for your big day. Can’t say this enough — HIGHLY recommend J2R’s event planning service!

planning and events would not have been as smooth without all their extra help and experience! Using them helped us focus on the events and enjoy our moments with our family! Highly recommended to anyone planning their upcoming weddings!

so easy to communicate with. If you are looking for a wedding planner or month of coordinator highly recommend J2R events!

te. During our 1 and half years of planning for our wedding, Jalpa and Rumi were always available to us to discuss all aspects of the wedding, which led to flawless execution of our wedding week. We couldn't be more grateful for J2R Dreams, and more specifically, Jalpa and her team.

ed about my biggest day and I'm so thankful for their help through the best week of our lives! Definitely would recommend!

e short timeline- we worked with Rumi and from the beginning she was professional, super responsive and very kind! She set out a game plan and I was so impressed at how she followed up with vendors(she Will go to bat for you, keep the vendors and venue coordinator in check and hold them accountable for deadlines!). She made our dream wedding possible and on the our wedding weekend- she kept everything in order -and went above and beyond. I couldn’t ask for a better planner and now I can consider Rumi & team family. I promise you won’t go wrong if you choose J2R! Courteous, professional, responsive and a joy to work with!! -Mayur & Shama November 2022

y! Everybody who attended the wedding enjoyed themselves and were impressed on how well every thing well and on schedule. Jalpa helped with all the vendors and was always available. She is patient , organized, and was with us every step of the way! We highly recommend Jalpa and her team!

ount of passion and hard work that J2R showed in making sure each event was perfect. I had the pleasure of having Jalpa as my wedding planner and we were a perfect match. She is very organized, extremely hands on with her clients, knowledgeable about vendors and trends, and the quickest to respond to all messages/details no matter how big or small. Jalpa spent hours creating a very detailed outline with us for each of our events and met with us a few months out to discuss and plan for any missing gaps of things that may have been overlooked. She was my go-to person for any and all support wedding related and she is great at sending over suggestions and inspiration – whether it’s related to the latest invitation trend or a fun food vendor. If you are looking for a wedding planner who is hands on and truly loves what they do on a day-to-day basis – look no further. J2R and their team will not disappoint – they are very passionate about their work, and they make the wedding planning process fun and easy for you.

ible without the help of our Day-of coordinator, Jalpa with J2R Events. We felt unprepared the year leading up to our wedding, but as soon as we started having our conversations with J2R we felt more and more confident our day was going to turn out how we wanted it. The way Jalpa dealt with our vendors, family, and wedding parties really took away from our stress so we could focus on enjoying our weekend to the fullest. We were able to hand off countless responsibilities knowing that they would be taken care of on time and without issues. If it were not for J2R we would not have been able to say we had the best weekend of our lives & we highly recommend her for your next event!!

with so much precision, that we didn’t have to worry about a thing. Their extensive experience in the industry and with our vendors made the entire day run smoothly. On top of their amazing work, Rumi treated us like family, checking in frequently to see what we needed whether it be to improve our look, our mood, or our experience. and her entire team only amplified the fun, making it that much easier to work with them. She made sure we felt like it was our day and included all the details we envisioned for our wedding day. Her team only amplified the fun! Rumi was very easy to communicate with and share our thoughts/feelings about the wedding that it felt like having a best friend coordinate our wedding. Highly recommend going with J2R and choosing Rumi as your lead planner!
