Our wedding went so smoothly thanks to Jackson & June! Bailey was fantastic in our planning calls leading up to the wedding and executed everything perfectly on the day of our wedding. She answered all of our questions and helped pull together all of the final details, really allowing us to enjoy our day with as little stress as possible. I could not have imagined our wedding without Bailey and the J&J team!
could NOT have done it without the J&J team. they made our day and the entire planning process so smooth. the most amazing and competent team that thought of every detail. special shoutout to Kelyn - the most amazing lead planner!
Jackson & June was a complete LIFESAVER when it came to coordinating 6 weeks out. I had done most of the vendor planning myself but it was so nice having someone come on those last weeks and help you get all the final details figured out. There were things I hadn't even thought about that they helped me coordinate (like custom champagne flutes for a champagne toast, personalized cake cutting set, an appropriate tipping sheet for vendors, timelines, etc). It is also SO nice having someone there to communicate and coordinate with all the vendors for you so you can figure out other things that need to be done (like spray tan, hair, makeup, the little things) before the big day that you want done! I am very OCD and Type A and the detailed emails and documents that come with your service was my literal love language. My whole wedding day from 7am to 10pm flowed perfectly and I could not have done it without them! If you need a full wedding planner or partial, Jackson and June is 100% who you want on your team!
PS - They are also all so friendly and fun to work with
Our J&J was AMAZING! Sydney was supportive from start to finish and was super proactive with everything we needed for our mid-large sized wedding. Sammy was there for whatever I needed on wedding day - from pinning in my veil, to holding my dress, to making sure I didn't run into my groom - everything ran so smoothly. They DEFINITELY know what they're doing and couldn't recommend them enough!
Our wedding day was hands down AMAZING in every way and it's all thanks to this team. Sammy and her team were on top of everything and it all went perfectly (if something went wrong... I had no idea. They handled it without having to put any stress on me). Because of them I was able to have the best, most care free time on my wedding day. The only regret that I have is that I didn't do the full planning package! I did the month of package and they were worth every penny and more. This team is encouraging, calming and truly makes you feel like the most special person on your most special day!
Sammy was so helpful in getting us set up and keeping us on track! Our month of coordinator, Lillie, was THE BEST!! We were never stressed during the month of our wedding and Lillie walked us through everything. Even when our getaway car never showed, Lillie helped us figure out a backup and followed up with us to see if the issue was resolved after the wedding.
I am not sure where to start to talk about how incredible my experience was with Jackson & June! Sammy was truly a gift on our wedding day. My husband and I still say the reason everything was perfect on our wedding day is because of her. Sammy and The Jackson and & June team are so incredibly organized. We had regular check ins through the whole process where she kept us on track with what we should be working on. Sammy helped so many of my ideas come to life and put the perfect final touches on everything. The vendors she recommended to work with were INCREDIBLE! But the best part of working with J&J came on our wedding day. We were actually ahead of schedule and had time to take everything in. We never felt rushed and she even built in time in our schedule for my husband and me to have special moments. Those are some of my favorite memories. I cannot recommend Jackson & June enough! We hope to use them again for other events in the future!
The entire Jackson and June team is absolutely amazing! Lillie was our day of coordinator and was a complete life saver. She was so organized and efficient. The entire day was stress free. They are so kind and wonderful!
We hired Jackson & June as the month of coordinator for our October 2022 wedding. We wanted to plan our own wedding but needed help tying up loosing ends and wanted someone else to manage our wedding day. Sammy and her team at Jackson & June were incredible. Sammy was incredibly organized, offered great expertise/tips, kept us on track, helped us when we didn't know we needed it, and was always warm and friendly. Our wedding day was perfect and I can honestly say we didn't have to stress about anything. This was solely due to Jackson & June. We are so grateful for Sammy, Leah and the Jackson & June team and all the work they did to help us have a wonderful wedding.
It’s hard to overstate the appreciation we have for Sammy Kesner and her team at Jackson & June events. As two people who loved each other deeply and were thrilled to get married, my wife and I also acknowledged we had little interest in planning our wedding solo. Between demanding jobs and other obligations, we sought a planner. One call with Sammy confirmed we wanted help, and her team was who we wanted to walk through the next nine months alongside.
We opted for the full-service planning package. It was a huge expense for us. It was also the wisest investment we made throughout the entire planning process. Sammy and her team spent quality time getting to know us and our preferences, interested in not only us as clients, but also as people. And that’s where Sammy and her team shine. They’re great at their jobs, but they’re also genuinely good human beings. From vendor connections to contract reviews, from band playlists to floral arrangements, Sammy was always happy to share feedback and guidance while still respecting that it was our wedding and that our preferences were the priority. And their team’s joy for our wedding shone through every conversation. Each call was fun, celebratory and productive.
Sammy and Lillie Chupp were our lead planners, with Lillie serving as our lead for the actual wedding day. It speaks to how much we loved Sammy that we were initially concerned that she wouldn’t be at our wedding herself. She was our rock. So hear me say, with all kindness to Sammy, that she’s hiring well. Because Lillie did such a great job managing our wedding day that for a short time, we forgot Sammy existed.
When we think back to our wedding, we owe those two a deep gratitude for the near-perfect weekend that followed an immense amount of hard work through planning. I say “near-perfect” because as with any event, there’s always a curveball or two. And let me tell you, whenever I receive bad news in the future, I wish it was Lillie delivering it. I’ve never had someone deliver me crazy news in such a calm manner, with a solution at hand, as when Lillie told us a wedding shuttle had gone to the wrong hotel. It barely registered to me because Lillie already had it handled and informed me with her trademark joyful, confident, helpful demeanor.
I can’t recommend this team strongly enough. My wife and I are happily married for just over a month, and we frequently think back to how much we loved our wedding. That’s a memory we’ll hold onto for however many years God graces us with. And whenever that memory arises, Sammy and Lillie’s names won’t be far behind. Do yourselves a favor and at least schedule a consultation with them. You’ll be glad you did.
We were so incredibly impressed with Jackson and June! We chose the Month Of planning package and it worked out perfectly for us! Kelyn was our lead planner and she was a rockstar. From day one of working with her, we felt so at ease. She helped us tie up all the loose ends and get all the details perfect. The day of the wedding Kelyn and Lily truly went above and beyond to make the day run smoothly. We could not have asked for a better team to bring our wedding day vision to life!
Jackson + June were AMAZING to work with. We used their month-of coordination services and can not say enough great things about them. Everything was fun and not stressful, and J+J made our wedding day run so smoothly. We worked primarily with Lillie and it felt like we had known her for a long time! She realized our vision so perfectly. 10/10 would recommend them for all things wedding :)
I highly recommend Jackson & June!! My husband and I utilized their "month-of" planning services. We worked most closely with Lillie, who was an absolute joy to work with! We felt so taken care of and felt a huge load off of our shoulders knowing that Lillie was doing so much to coordinate with our vendors. We met weekly for the month leading up to our wedding, but Lillie was also super available via email and text whenever we needed. Everything felt seamless and easy! We were actually able to enjoy our wedding weekend thanks to Lillie and Jackson & June- we highly recommend this super organized, professional and lovely team!
Jackson & June are the best. Sammy, Kelyn, and Lillie are the sweetest and most caring planners. They truly make you feel like you are their top priority and make sure your day goes off without a hitch! Out of all my vendors, they absolutely topped the charts.
I cannot express enough how vital the team at Jackson and June Events was for our wedding! My husband and I had a large outdoor wedding and Sammy was the planner from the start. She guided me through every step of the planning process and in many of the circumstances, I never had to lift a finger! Sammy was truly passionate about making my visions come to life. She genuinely cared about my unique ideas and reasoning behind the things we wanted for both our ceremony and reception. When I needed input, Sammy had the creative vision for that too. I chose the full planning service package and would certainly recommend that for any bride. She was diligent and respectful in communicating with all of the vendors. They were all on the same page leading up to/on the wedding day because of Sammy's organization. The day couldn't have gone any better and I know it was because of Sammy's planning skills. All of the vendors and bridal party LOVED the Jackson and June Team on wedding weekend! Sammy and her assistants are amazing. I will always always recommend them!
I can't say enough great things when it comes to Jackson & June Events. Sammy was my saving grace throughout the entire wedding planning process and I couldn't have done it without her. The weekly meetings were my favorite because we got to chat about wedding things and you really start to visualize your dream wedding week by week. I have known Sammy my whole life, so it made it even more special for me to have her as my right hand gal through this season of life! I am a very indecisive person when it comes to making certain decisions, but I would literally tell Sammy what I wanted or what I visualized, and she literally made all of my dreams become a reality. I could trust her with any decision or anything that I was uncertain of and she would make it happen exactly how I envisioned it. Her team was right there with me and the whole wedding party the entire day of the wedding. If you needed ANYTHING, they had it. This team is so personable, ORGANIZED, and just overall the best of the best!!! I am SO thankful I was able to have this wonderful team as a part of my big day and I wish every bride was able to have them as their wedding planners! A lot of brides have told me in the past that there will be at least 1-2 things go wrong on your wedding day, but when I tell you everything was literally PERFECT, I genuinely mean it!! Our day was as smooth as smooth can get all thanks to this BOMB team! You all will never know how grateful I am for for making our dream wedding become a reality!! TEN STARS NO DOUBT! Thank you all again for EVERYTHING!! XOXO- The Yawns
Oh gosh where do I start. Before I hired Sammy I tried to do this whole wedding planning thing on my own until I realized there was no way I could handle all of it on my own. The moment I spoke to Sammy, I knew I made the right choice. She literally was G-d sent. She made EVERYTHING perfect. She listened to what I wanted and she executed. We chatted monthly, weekly, and daily leading up to the wedding and she made all my dreams come true. She was always on time and always had a smile on her day. She is the sweetest most caring person you could ever meet. I’m not sure I would of known what to do without her and I’m so blessed that she was available to helps us bring all our dreams to life for our wedding. Sammy you and your team made our wedding perfection. There was a few hiccups that no one could control, but your calm demeanor and amazing solving skills turned it all around. You literally gave us the dream
Wedding and I am Forever grateful for you. Thank you for all you did and all you continue to do to help brides and grooms bring their vision to life.
My husband and I feel so lucky that we found the perfect wedding planner that made our wedding spectacular. From start to finish, working with Sammy and her team was remarkable. She was able to manage all moving parts of our fairly large wedding at the Biltmore Ballrooms, AND all our vendors raved about how wonderful she is to work with. That brought us peace of mind on our wedding day, knowing that everything was going to run smoothly since Sammy had covered all the bases. She is exactly the type of person you need by your side on your wedding day. We can't thank her enough. I will be recommending her to all the brides I know!
Sammy and her team are phenomenal. I can’t say enough good things about how prepared I felt for the day of the wedding. When things popped up on our wedding day Sammy handled them quickly. Sammy asked all of the right questions. My MIL also hired her for our rehearsal dinner which was also amazing. If you are looking for someone to help make your wedding seamless I highly recommend Jackson and June! ❤️
Lillie & Sammy were fantastic. They thought of everything, executed perfectly and made our big day run so smooth. If anything went wrong I knew nothing about it and honestly; I don't think anything did. Wish we had hired them sooner.
If you are stressed about your wedding day, look no further! Jackson and June were a serious life saver. Everything went so smoothly. Sammy, is always on time and takes all the stress out of planning.
I am literally on my honeymoon writing this review! You don’t have to worry about anything with this company.
Don’t hesitate, just call them.
Sammy is a life saver! I was a 2020 bride and had to reschedule my wedding twice and Sammy was there every step of the way to make sure all my vendors had everything we needed. She was on top of every detail and thought of things I would’ve never planned for on my own. I work a demanding job as a retail pharmacist and she handled literally everything. On wedding day, her team worked flawlessly to solve so many issues that popped up, but kept the wedding running smoothly. I couldn’t recommend her enough! My only regret is originally just hiring her on as the 6 month package, and not full planning! Don’t walk, run to book her!
I hired Sammy to help me out at the 6 month mark and I can truly say, I couldn't have done this without her! I am super OCD but just didn't have the time or knowledge to plan a wedding. Sammy was organized, knowledgeable, and an absolute rock star! She made wedding day completely stress free (solved problems without me even knowing there were problems) and was always right there when you needed her! There will never be enough thank yous to her and her team for an absolutely amazing day! If you want a planner that is organized, that cares about your day just as much as you do, Sammy is the one!!!
Sammy was great to work with for my daughters wedding as the “day of” wedding coordinator. She is very organized and was extremely helpful in the last few weeks when all of the derails is overwhelming. She’s also a pleasure to be around and super sweet. I highly recommend Jackson and June as a detailed oriented MOB. All went great!
Our wedding was absolutely perfect thanks to the efforts of Sammy and her team! They had the whole day running smoothly so that I felt no stress at all. They also took over vendor communication a few weeks out so that the weeks leading up to the wedding so that I didn’t have to worry about anything but planning the honeymoon!
My daughter was our ally scheduled to get married in late March. Because of the pandemic, we had to cancel one week before. It was devastating. We ended up rescheduling four times. Sammy was so sweet and efficient. She never complained and stayed positive when we were ready to fall apart. Awesome in every sense!
Sammy and her team were amazing!
We hired Sammy 3 months beforehand when we had to change our wedding plans abruptly due to COVID. She helped us find a new florist, hair/makeup, and did so a ton of work interfacing with each of the vendors. Our day-of coordinators (Kelyn and her fiancé) were professional, kind, attentive, and incredibly responsive. I was really nervous about the safety of our guests on the wedding day, but the entire team worked hard to make sure that we had a great day!
Where to even begin... The Jackson & June team made every wedding detail come to life! If you want to work with people who care about their clients, organized and goes above and beyond - you need to work with Sammy and her team.
Thank you Sammy, Kelyn and Lillie for making our experience one we will never forget!
Saved the day! Our Day of coordinator Kelyn and her assistant Lillie were exactly what we needed for my daughter’s wedding. I did her florals and decor but needed someone to oversee the event and help with installation on wedding day-they worked so hard to carry out our vision! Highly recommend!
I am so very glad I found Jackson & June Events! My husband and I got married on March 14th (literally right before COVID 19 stay at home measures were put into place in GA). In addition to some stress surrounding that, it had also been raining all day for what was suppose to be an outside ceremony. Through all the stress and nerves I was experiencing because of the weather and canceling family members, etc., Sammy was an ever present calming voice. She constantly checked the forcast and ultimately the skies cleared up just in time for us to have a beautiful ceremony.
In addition, Sammy and Alex where SO sweet to my aunts, mom, and mother in law (all of whom were commited to helping set up). Throughout the process Sammy was our cheerleader and a valuable helping hand and on the day she was an absolute rockstar and our wedding day was perfect (if anything went wrong I really didnt know about it). Thank you so much Sammy and Alex for all of your help. The day would absolutely not have been the same without you. My family loved you and so did I!
Where do I even begin?? Sammy was an absolute game changer for our wedding. From start to finish she helped with every detail of our wedding and kept me sane through the process. I literally felt so stress free on the wedding day because I knew that Sammy had it under control. She has amazing organizational skills, brilliant ideas for wedding planning, and she could envision my plans for the wedding almost better than I could. I am so thankful for her and Alex and all that they did to make our wedding perfect. Our day would not have been the same without them!!
Sammy is one of my favorite coordinators to work with!! As a photographer, if the wedding coordinator isn't on top of everything, so many things fall on you--pinning the boutonnières on the guys, reminding the girls of their time left with hair/make-up etc...with Sammy, I know I can walk into that wedding day and not worry about a thing! She is going to have the guys pinned up when they should be, keep the girls on schedule, get the extra floral pieces I need for detail shots, and do everything she can to make sure that I have what I need to get the shots my bride wants and expects. Sammy goes above and beyond for her brides and the other vendors! If you need a coordinator who truly cares about her brides, is all about organization, details, and making sure everyone has an awesome experience--Sammy is amazing!!
From the moment we spoke to Sammy about coordinating our wedding, we immediately knew she would be a great fit for us. Sammy is very organized and came along beside us to make sure we had covered every detail. She coordinated with all the vendors and created a timeline so that everyone, including the bridal party, would understand the flow of the day. That timeline was so helpful and kept us all on track. Sammy was not phased by unexpected mishaps like the groom's pants ripping during a photo shoot an hour before the ceremony! She just whipped out her needle and thread and sewed them up. She gets things done and manages people well in a very gracious and charming way. We had numerous compliments about how great Sammy was coordinating the rehearsal and wedding day. She and her team are awesome and we highly recommend Jackson and June Events because we enjoyed a stress-free wedding day!
I cannot stress enough that if you are looking for a wedding coordinator, Sammy is it! Not only is Sammy extremely personable, everyone in our wedding party LOVED her. The amount of messages I got saying "your wedding coordinator is amazing" should speak for itself. Sammy always answered any and ALL questions even if I asked the same one so many times. She was so organized, and my wedding day was perfect, thanks to her. She worked closely with all of my vendors which took a lot of stress off of me. I trusted her a lot on my wedding day, and she did not let me down. Sammy- you're amazing! Thank you so much!
She is the most organized and heartfelt person I know! Sammy has always planned events and is a leader at heart. I can't think of a better person for the job! She also has great connections for all things wedding including photographers and videographers! <3
If you’re looking for the best of the best wedding coordinator, Sammy is your girl! I hired her for a day of coordinator and we began working together 6 weeks out from my wedding day. She was very professional, flexible, and organized. Sammy listened to my vision and was able to help me bring it to life. The actual day of my wedding, everything went perfectly without any hiccups! Sammy and I worked on a timeline and it couldn’t have turned out better. I am so thankful for her and her husband and would recommend Jackson & June to anyone! Seriously worth my sanity and every penny!
