Jaclyn Watson Events

We had the pleasure of meeting Jaclyn Watson and working with the entire Jaclyn Watson Events Team this past fall of 2018 for a very special couple having their magical wedding weekend at Reading Farms Estate. From the go Jackie is an outgoing personality with a very precise sense of time management. She was always early on the property and the last one of her staff to leave. She made sure personally that everything was always taken care of before leaving the property. She and her staff are not afraid of diving in where needed which is one trait, we enjoyed most in working with her team. They jumped in, assisting the catering crew with moving and placing tables and chairs. They even helped clean dishes which was and is greatly appreciated. She totally understood and was respectful of the directions from our Reading Farms Estate Team regarding the logistics of the estate. She made sure the music band truck did not touch and ruin our beautiful lawn. The music band guy dropping the instruments was not happy at all but Jackie calmly solved his issue by saying, “don’t worry we will figure it out, I’ll help you” and she did. Working for the first time at Reading Farms Estate can be ominous since it’s a pristine 400-acre private gated Estate. Just walking around from building to building and to the pool down our maple tree alle`e is a great work out. Jackie understood this and was prepared with 3 golf cars and a mule which she used in moving people to the ceremony location on Heart Hill (a hillside pasture mowed in the shape of a big heart) from the meet and greet hour below in the formal gardens. I even personally saw her and her staff walk all the way up when the ceremony was starting, and they all seemed very happy and exited for Kyle and Drew (beautiful couple BTW)! The Reading Farms Estate Team highly recommends Jackie and the Jaclyn Watson Events Team. She is, they are very capable of handling stressful situations and turning them around to positive and successful memories. She and her team take initiative in getting things done. Very compatible and similar to our Reading Farms Estate values. Most importantly, she managed the timeline and her staff perfectly. Wedding timelines are notorious for delays! Not with Jackie at the helm. She and here staff respected and loved Reading Farms Estate. We can’t wait to work with them again. Hopefully sooner than later!! Sincerely Reading Farms Estate.

When we set out planning a Vermont destination wedding from Arizona, I knew we would need as much help as we could find! Luckily, we found Jackie and Stephanie, who made our wedding weekend the best time of our lives! They took care of all the details, large and small, allowing us to really enjoy the planning process. They were always available to discuss new ideas and concerns, and helped keep us on schedule and within our budget. Our wedding weekend went perfectly, with Stephanie leading the way! I loved that my mom and family were able to fully relax and enjoy the weekend knowing that Stephanie was there and that every detail was taken care of. We are so thankful for their help and so grateful that we found them!

Dear Jackie and Stephanie, Katie and Alec summed it up best. They said that the worst part about the wedding being over is that we met so many amazing people who helped us and now we don't get to see them! I totally agree! Let me start by saying that if I was brilliant, I would have hired you right from the minute Katie was engaged and would have let you handle every single detail of the wedding! So, I'm not brilliant, but I was smart enough to, halfway through the wedding planning, find the two of you to be "boots on the ground" for the entire weekend. It could not have been more perfect! I can't think of one thing that I would have done differently. Not one!!!! From the bottom of my heart, I have to say that I will be forever grateful to the both of you for your professionalism, kindness, commitment, efficiency, attention to detail, perfectionism and just being two incredible women. The moment that I signed the contract with you, I did not have one moment of worry. I knew that we were in the best of hands and you did not disappoint for one nano-second. You two are the ying and yang to each other. Where one of you excels in one area, the other excels in another (although you are both pretty darn perfect!). Stephanie, you have the energy of a 10 year old! Nothing is ever a problem and I am amazed at your attention to detail and the fact that once I told you something, I never had to say it again. Jackie, you are the problem solver and big picture person - you remain totally calm on the exterior as the wheels are churning inside solving any crisis that may arise. I had the BEST team imaginable and I don't take that for granted. Becca was a welcome addition to help with all the moving parts of our traditional Jewish wedding. So as we look to the happily ever after, we will always have the best memories of our moment in time in Stowe, Vermont. Hiring Jaclyn Watson Events - BEST DECISION EVER!

Jacklyn Watson and her team are not only highly professional, they are also warm and kind. They are extremely well connected to vendors and creative people who can get any job done. As problem solvers extraordinaire, they kept every aspect of our events running smoothly, from rehearsal dinner and welcome party through to Sunday brunch. This planner is the best.

We are so pleased to be writing our second review for Jackie Watson. When our second daughter announced that she was engaged, of course we were thrilled. We had just done her sister’s wedding 14 months prior so we felt we knew the process and could navigate planning this wedding on our own. We quickly realized that once again we needed the advice, expertise and resources that Jackie had to offer. We were trying to plan a wedding long distance in a relatively short time frame. We were struggling to find a venue and a band. Jackie was quickly to the rescue. She was able to suggest the perfect venue and give us the names of several bands to choose from. Throughout the process, Jackie was attentive to our questions and responded quickly. She helped us create a timeline for the rehearsal dinner and wedding day. Best of all, she and her assistant Stephanie were on site the day of the wedding helping coordinate busses, acting as liaisons with our venue, making sure the wedding and reception ran smoothly and lastly, helping with gathering gifts and other items at the end of the night. Weddings are an amazing day where you don’t want to miss a thing. Having Jackie and Stephanie helping us with the planning and the day of coordination, meant that we could be together as a family enjoying this special day without worrying about the smaller details that need to be coordinated at an event like this. Hiring Jackie was a gift we gave ourselves so we could truly enjoy every minute of an extraordinary day.

For those of you who don’t read this entire review because it’s long, I want to start out by saying that I could not recommend Jackie and Jaclyn Watson Events more highly. Selecting Jackie as our wedding planner was the single best and most impactful wedding event planning decision we made. Working with Jackie for over a year to plan our wedding was an absolute joy, and the wedding itself was beyond what we could have ever imagined our wedding would be – and much of this is thanks to her. Planning our wedding was a labor of love -- and no one put more heart into the planning than Jackie. When my husband and I got engaged, we were so excited to get married, but when it came to the actual wedding event and how it would go off and look, we were starting from square one. All that we knew going into our wedding planning was that we wanted to create a joyous, beautiful, elegant and really fun celebration of our marriage and love and that we wanted our wedding to be in Vermont. (We are New Yorkers, but Vermont is a special place for both of us, and I grew up going to Vermont to spend time with my family that lives there.) We were incredibly lucky to stumble across Jackie in our internet research trying to find the top Vermont wedding planner. Jackie helped us translate our guest-centric vision and who Vin and I are as people into a more special celebration of our marriage than we could have ever imagined. We loved working with Jackie throughout the planning process – she is a truly special person and cares deeply for her brides and grooms and their families. She is so incredibly invested in each wedding she takes on. She is an extremely hard worker and unbelievably responsive (and this coming from someone who has worked in finance in New York for almost 10 years and thus has high standards for what constitutes being responsive!), whether it’s Saturday morning or 10:30pm on Tuesday night, she’s answering your emails and moving things along. With respect to the final product in the wedding itself – we had been given advice by married friends that we should expect a handful things to “go wrong” during the wedding but that we should just let them go and enjoy the day. Let me say that not only did not a single thing “go wrong” during our wedding weekend (or if they did, Jackie handled it without a peep to us!), but everything was at a level that was even more beautiful, more delicious, more well-orchestrated, more fun than we ever imagined it could be. All we did during our wedding weekend was enjoy and bask in what was the happiest weekend of our lives. It exceeded our highest hopes for what our wedding weekend could be. The memories we have will always bring us happiness, and I am so grateful to Jackie for the part she played. A final note – Jackie introduced us to a truly remarkable group of vendors who all made unique and special contributions, from our photographer to florist to stationer to caterer to makeup and hair artist to DJ to everyone I am missing, these people all have a special place in my heart because they made our wedding what it was and also because they made the process of planning it feel extra special. I also want to say that it’s so clear that all of these vendors hold Jackie and her team in the highest regard and absolutely love working with her and her clients.

Jaclyn Watson Events introduced us to a great team of Vermont wedding professionals for our special day and we are very thankful for Jackie’s recommendations and advice throughout the planning process. As a very detail-oriented bride (and a bit of perfectionist), we did have some bumps in the road with some of our vendors and Jackie helped us to work through those challenges. We were thankful to have her on our side during those challenging times and in the end, with her help, all the issues were solved. On the day of our wedding, Jackie and her team kept us all on schedule and executed our design vision. Jackie and her team did a great job deciphering my lists and arranging the boxes and boxes of design props and details we dropped off at our venue. Our wedding day was executed pretty flawlessly and it wouldn’t have been as prefect if it weren’t for Jackie and her team! Thank you Jackie and Stephanie!

Jackie was absolutely amazing from start to finish, and took care of every detail of my daughter's wedding so we could truly enjoy the fun of the planning process and not feel any stress. Her insight and contacts are through; she guided us to amazing services who were professional and warm. She dealt with a change in the date, complicated ever-changing weather, loss of water at our home (where the wedding was to occur) the day before and a vendor who went out of business the week before among other things with a quiet calm and capability and it was all gorgeous! She became a part of our family- you will not find a better, more experienced and creative planner. We recommend her with all our hearts.

I would not have been able to make it through the wedding planning process without Jackie and her team's help. From her vast network of vendors in the greater Vermont area, to her clear passion for the job, Jackie is an incredible resource and partner when planning a wedding. She was incredibly responsive, answering my e-mails and questions often within minutes in the middle of the night (literally!), and she was able to turn the vision in my head into a reality. From contracts, to scheduling, to decor, Jackie helped keep me organized and on schedule while still having fun. Jaclyn Watson Events is an incredible planner!

Jackie Watson was the wedding planner for our daughter's wedding at Topnotch in Stowe, VT. We could not be happier with her services!! Jackie was a wonderful resource for local service providers, and kept us on schedule with the myriad of details that come with a weekend destination wedding. She made great suggestions that enhanced our experience and reminded us of upcoming deadlines as they approached. Her experience and professionalism combined with her warmth and gentle humor kept our stress level to a minimum and allowed us to fully enjoy the wedding weekend without worries! We highly recommend Jaclyn Watson Events for anyone considering a wedding in the Vermont area!! Thanks Jackie!!! Cara and Bob

I can't imagine going through the process of planning our wedding at Topnotch Resort in Stowe, VT without Jackie by our side every step. She was absolutely wonderful to work with - knowledgable on local VT vendors, creative with unique and personalized ideas, and responsive to every single call, text and email. Jackie went above and beyond both during the months leading up to our wedding as well as the weekend of. I would highly recommend Jackie, you won't regret it!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Jaclyn! My husband and I were married in St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands. Jackie coordinated EVERYTHING from here. Every single detail right down to finding the perfect resort, booking it, booking airfare, rose petals on the beach aisle, flowers, hair, make-up, minister., taxi rides...you name it, she had it covered! NO stone was left unturned and I had to do absolutely nothing. If you want a stress free wedding and reception, Jackie is #1 in my book. You can relax and know Jackie will think of every single detail...even the ones you hadn't thought of yet. 5 STARS all the way!

We are so happy that we hired Jackie during our wedding planning process! Originally we thought about just hiring her for day-of coordination, but we quickly realized that planning a wedding for 230 people from afar would be a significant challenge. Jackie was excellent to work with. She was wonderful about listening to our wish lists for the wedding, but kept us on track in terms of how our choices would impact our budget. She put us in touch with amazing vendors who ultimately came together on the day of the wedding to create an absolutely unbelievable event. Lucy and Stephanie on the day of the wedding were amazing!! They kept a very large bridal party organized, kept us on schedule, helped with the setup and breakdown of the decor, made sure we were happy and calm, and took care of every detail. Any time I felt like I needed anything they were magically by my side. Throughout the 8 month planning process, we SO appreciated Jackie and her staff's calm demeanor, expertise, professionalism, and dedication to making our wedding exactly what we wanted. We highly recommend Jaclyn Watson Events!!

Where do I start? Well, it began with me thinking the idea of a wedding planner was ridiculous. My Mom thought it would be a good idea and got ahold of Jackie, so when Jackie wanted to meet with me and my now husband, we were both very skeptical. After working with her I can now I can tell you that hiring Jackie was THE BEST THING we did for the wedding. Hands. Down. She is professional, knows how to have fun and truly loves what she does for a living. Get tough on a vendor to get what you need? Done. Take a phone call from a stressed out bride and simply be a friend? Done. Negotiate between a Mother and Daughter so everyone is happy? Done. And on top of that, she added elements of surprise to our wedding that made me think she had known us for years, not the 6 months in which we planned our wedding. I can say now that there is no way our wedding would have happened to even a degree of what it was if it wasn't for Jackie. She might live in a small town in Vermont but her work would challenge any metropolitan wedding planners.

I have always loved hosting a great party. When my daughter and her future husband decided to return to Vermont to get married, after we had all recently relocated to Colorado, I knew we needed help because this was going to be a destination wedding for us. Eighteen months prior to the wedding date there were several stakeholders that believed we could do it all ourselves; I wasn't one of them. I hired Jackie because she is one of a kind. She has the ability to adapt her personality to meet her client's needs. She is lighthearted in general, decisive and direct when it is called for, supportive and helpful when things get emotional, and detailed and thorough, which by itself, are not enough. Jackie is the whole package when it comes to event planning. She has the ability to lead others with grace. She is a true collaborator and respects your opinion. She has a perpetual smile on her face and you can tell she really enjoys her job. Hiring Jackie was the best decision I made and my husband, daughter and future husband ultimately agreed that having her on our team made all the difference. The wedding was one of the best days of our lives. Thank you, Jackie!

Fairy tale garden wedding on the shores of Lake Champlain: We want to thank Jackie and her team so very much for helping us to plan, create, organize, and execute our fairy tale dream wedding! Jackie and her team exceeded our expectations and they were so lovely to work with! Jackie was amazing and so helpful and supportive throughout the planning process; and when wedding weekend came, Jackie took everything in stride and made us feel so special and pulled off such an amazingly wonderful event! Our wedding was truly magical and we could not have done it without Jackie and her team! We thank them from the bottom of our hearts for everything, from being available almost all of the time, to beautiful and creative ideas, to her ability to solve problems, to her calming demeanor and aura. Jackie, thank you so much for making our dreams come true! We would recommend Jackie to anyone to help plan your dream wedding, you will be so thrilled and impressed, we certainly are!

Always available; focused on making the bride and groom happy; strong network and relationships with vendors

Jackie is the best. I knew we could have planned our wedding on our own, but considering we live out of state and our free time is very limited, we decided to hire Jackie to help us. Hiring Jackie was by far the best wedding planning decision we made. She helped us to hire the very best vendors and was there to answer my many many questions along the way (and very quickly too!). With her help, our wedding was infinitely better and much less stressful than if we had decided to go it alone. Jackie made sure that our event ran seamlessly. Our wedding day was so easy and stress free - we just showed up on time and everyone took care of the rest. This was all thanks to Jackie working her behind the scenes magic, and also thanks to how phenomenal our vendors were. We discussed afterwards how blown away we were with all of our vendors and how we found them all because of Jackie. Her expertise in picking vendors can really not be stressed enough. Jackie was a pleasure to work with and she took such good care of us. We will miss working with her. She helped to make our wedding day truly magical and we will be forever thankful for that.

Absolutely wonderful! Hiring Jackie and Dawn to help plan our wedding was one of the best decisions we could have made. They have fantastic relationships with all of the Vermont vendors, not to mention several other vendors we had coming from neighboring states! They were incredible about listening to what we wanted, keeping us on schedule, and making sure every one of our needs was handled by the appropriate vendor! They fought for us and made sure every detail was exactly how we imagined it! Our wedding was absolutely stunning, and with Jackie's help we were also able to be completely present while she and Dawn took care of everything behind the scenes. Thank you so much VT Enchanted events for our PERFECT wedding!!

Having planned and executed major events for my family and my company in the past, I did not think it was necessary to hire a wedding planner/coordinator. However, I decided I wanted to enjoy the day of my daughter's wedding and hired someone. I initially hired another planner who made us feel like we were a bother just for asking for a referral and she never connected directly with my daughter, so I decided to sever the relationship and go it alone. Our incredible caterer Let's Pretend mentioned VT Enchanted Events and a particularly stressful day prompted me to reach out to Jackie at VT Enchanted Events, and I am so glad that I did!!! From our first conversation, I felt that she wanted my daughter's wedding to be the best day of her life as much as I wanted it to be. My stress level plummeted. Even though I had already had contracts in place, she came up with cost savings I never would have seen. She kept us on task, contacted every vendor, navigated some sticky situations and understood entirely what my daughter envisioned for her special day. We had spent a year collecting an eclectic mix of props and details for a lake wedding and we completely trusted Jackie and her incredibly professional team to set everything up. They created magic!!! There was a point in the final days when I thought Jackie was a mind reader as she could complete my thoughts before they came out of my mouth. Contacting Jackie and working with her crew at VT Enchanted Events was the best decision I ever made (well, marrying my wonderful husband is right up there)!!!

We found Jackie while looking for a winter wedding destination. We picked Vermont because of Jackie. We Skyped with her several times before signing a contract and she impressed us so we decided we could trust her. We had never been to Vermont and we live in Texas. For a year and a half, Jackie walked us through each step of the process to make our dream come true. On the wedding day Jackie took care of everything before, during, and after the wedding, so that everyone could enjoy our wedding duty free. Even during the wedding she had some impromptu suggestions that we took and they worked out very well. Overall we were very satisfied with Jackie's service and dedication. We would highly recommend her for any event planning in Vermont. She knows her stuff!

My husband and I were lucky enough to have Jackie’s expertise and assistance for our summer wedding. To say Jackie and her team are absolutely incredible would be an understatement. Though we are familiar with Vermont having lived there during college, we currently live out of the state. Jackie was able to meet with us over Skype to touch base about everything from our preferences to progress. She also kept an extremely detailed and comprehensive “wedding checklist”, and frequently emailed us with updates on what was done and still needed to be done. We never had any doubts that anything might be missed or that things might not get finished in time. Ultimately, we ended up leaving a great deal of our wedding “vision” to Jackie, and her team and could not have been happier with the results. Everything was absolutely gorgeous, right on cue with who we are as a couple, and guests are still talking about what a great time they had. Jackie is an expert on all things Vermont weddings and has a great deal of contacts. She made suggestions for wedding vendors and every single one we booked was outstanding. To be honest, my husband and I are both extremely introverted and were not sold on the idea of even having a wedding at first. At the end of our wedding day we both agreed that we could not have been happier we had decided to have a wedding after all. We attribute a great deal of that happiness to the VT Enchanted Events team and their ability to create a day for us that allowed our family and friends to share in a special occasion, while also not making us feel pressure from being on display. It was such a gift to go into our wedding day knowing Jackie and her team had everything under control, had Plan B’s in case of things like weather issues, and would keep everything running smoothly. I really cannot recommend the VT Enchanted Events team enough and will be forever grateful for their significant role in helping to make such wonderful memories for my husband and I.

My husband and I decided to have a destination wedding in the Fall in Vermont. When we began the process we thought we would have no problem planning it ourselves, until reality hit and we saw just how much goes into a wedding. That is when, through a contact, we met Jackie. There is absolutely NO way our wedding would have been as picture perfect and fabulous as it truly was if we did not have Jackie on our side. From the moment we met, we knew just how valuable Jackie would be. Her organization, attention to detail, and overall exstensive knowledge of the industry is beyond compare. We were always on schedule, she would let us know the things we should or shouldn't be worried about at that moment in the process. She was always calm, and listened to every single thing we had to say. She took our thoughts, ideas and opinions and always ensured that the wedding was what WE wanted. She truly always made herself available, whether we had a quick question or needed a catch-up session via skype. There wasn't one moment in the process that I worried that things weren't going to happen the way we wanted. She was clear and concise, and we were able to efficiently use our time. Being that my husband & I have generally busy schedules, Jackie never once complained of our late meetings. That being said---She even responded when I woke up at 3am the night before the wedding after I woke up from a deep sleep worrying that I had forgotten something. And of course--she had it covered. That is complete service!!! Her service is beyond valuable. It is the peace of mind that we had through the months of the planning, and the most amazing end result we could have dreamed of that made Jackie so essential to us. The day of our wedding, Jackie was calm and knew exactly who/what/where/when/how at every second of the day. The flow of the day was completely flawless, not one "missed opportunity" nor were there any choppy moments in the process. It flowed magnificently, and the amount of family and friends that noticed how well everything was timed and happened meant that much more to us. Her attention to detail and precise knowledge of how everything needed to be was truly reflected, and did not go un-noticed. We are beyond thankful that we used VT Enchanted for our wedding. It was everything we could have dreamed of and more, and we could not have asked for a better person than Jackie to carry the day out. Not only is she completely worth it, the tons of additional stress-less days and comfort knowing that everything is in her hands is priceless!!!

My husband and I were recently married at the Barns at Lang Farm in Essex Junction, VT. Aside from some humidity and a brief drizzle, the day was absolutely flawless. Jackie and her team made everything run smoothly (at least I wasn't aware of things if they didn't go smoothly!). From day 1, Jackie was on top of everything and made the entire wedding planning process stress free. I highly recommend her services!

I am so glad that we hired Jackie Watson to plan and coordinate my daughters wedding. We could not have done it without her. Early on, she created a timeline, stuck to it and communicated with us on a regular basis to make sure everything was getting done. She and her team ran the wedding flawlessly, and it was more than perfect. I highly recommend her!

Words do not suffice to say how amazing and wonderful Jackie Watson and her VT Enchanted team were to us during our 15 months of wedding planning! Jackie exceeded any and all expectations we had. She always went above and beyond the call of duty. She constantly worked to make sure no fires were started during the process and if any did, she helped put them out. Needless to say, we learned to trust Jackie very fast. My fiancée and I set out to plan this romantic and unique Vermont wedding in his Aunt and Uncle’s backyard overlooking beautiful Mount Mansfield in Stowe, VT. We live in New Jersey so for us this was quite an undertaking. We were not sure where to start so after some research I found Jackie on Weddingwire.com and read the reviews. They were all glowing and I thought- I found my girl! Out of all the decisions we made during the wedding planning process, the one thing we knew for sure was that hiring Jackie and VT Enchanted was the best decision we made. Throughout the planning process, Jackie was so organized and was always keeping us on track with what we needed to be focusing on. This is very important in wedding planning because it is so easy to get overwhelmed with all of the details. Jackie was great at keeping us on pace, focused when we needed to be and she kept us laughing the entire time!! Her sense of humor and just easy-going, good-natured spirit really kept things stress-free for us. Not to say there weren’t hectic or stressful times, but with Jackie at our side, we managed them easier. Another wonderful gift Jackie brings to the table when you hire her and the team are her CONTACTS!! She only works with incredible vendors and she is able to sense a good fit between the couple and the vendors so she can give you exactly what you are looking for. The caterer, tent company, photographer, videographer and florist were AMAZING! They made our dream wedding come true. Jackie and I discussed my “rustic glam” vision early on and she followed me on Pinterest where I found my best ideas and everyone made the ideas and the dreams come to life! My fiancée describes our wedding day as a “fairytale”. For a man to say that, especially my husband- well that’s something special. Jackie made it all happen. We could never have had this wedding without her and the great people she brought to the table. It was the most perfect day, as all wedding days should be. Sure, there were some hiccups and bumps in the road along the way, but in the end, it did not matter one bit. That is what Jackie and her team at VT Enchanted Events can give you! Since this adventure began, my husband and I grew very close to Jackie and we now have a continuing friendship even after the wedding planning is over. I felt like we were a team going into this together and it still brings me to tears to think about how special and magical everything was. It is a day I want to keep reliving over and over again and I could never thank Jackie enough!

Our wedding would not have happened the way it did if it wasn't for VT Enchanted Events. Jackie reached out to us earlier this year and truly wanted to help us plan our Vermont wedding. It's a good thing she did because we both live in North Carolina and both of our families live in Vermont. She knew all the right questions to ask, and vendors to book. We had a GORGEOUS wedding at Jay Peak Resort, and without her help we wouldn't have stayed in budget or had the wedding of our dreams. We will certainly be recommending VT Enchanted Events to anyone we know getting married in Vermont, or anyone who wants to get married in Vermont! Thank you Jackie!!!!!

Jackie and her team are fantastic wedding planners. Living abroad we made getting a wedding planner a priority because of the time difference and the lack of time to shop around to vendors. It was great having Jackie introduce us to her vendors but was also open to us suggesting vendors we had been recommended by friends. She shopped around for us and I'm convinced we actually saved money and a tremendous amount of time having her plan the majority of our wedding! The day turned out absolutely perfectly down to the last details. My only request to Jackie on the day was to stop time so we could enjoy the day a little bit more! I would highly recommend VT Enchanted Events to help organize your wedding!

We highly recommend Jackie and VT Enchanted Events. After considering a number of planners, we hired Jackie as our day-of coordinator. From the beginning, she was much more than that. She was very hands-on from the moment we hired her (almost a year before the wedding) until the wedding ended. She was extremely responsive to my many emails. Jackie was invaluable for all kinds of advice and for making sure we were on track. She was accommodating and willing to support all of our choices, but was not afraid to tell us when we made a choice that she didn't think would work out. (We took her advice and are so glad we did). On the day of the wedding, Jackie brought her lead planner, Cynthia, who was wonderful. She quickly bustled my very complicated bustle, was always there if I needed help holding my dress off the ground (or anything else!), and ran to get my flip flops at the end of the night when I could no longer walk in my wedding shoes! Her help was invaluable, and we are so grateful to VT Enchanted Events for helping our wedding to go off without a hitch. We highly recommend Jackie and her team. Sarah & Danny

We would highly recommend VT Enchanted Events!! Jackie Watson was organized from day one and highly attentive to all of our needs throughout the entire process. She made our wedding day so memorable and special for us and our guests. She seamlessly coordinated all components of the wedding and worked with the venue to ensure the vision we had for our day was brought to life! Thank you Jackie for all your hard work and for helping us make our wedding day so amazing!!!

I am so thankful that we chose to work with Jackie for our wedding!!! I'm from Vermont originally, but my now-husband and I live in TX - and we both have pretty busy jobs that require weekly travel. We were worried about being able to plan our wedding from TX, and we were also concerned about costs (we invited over 250 guests to our wedding!) We weren't sure we needed a wedding planner at first, but working with Jackie turned out to be the BEST decision we made for our wedding. Jackie worked with us for every step of the way: She was willing to chat whenever we were free, and always made herself available to answer our questions. She helped keep us on track, and made sure we didn't get overwhelmed and focused us on the things that mattered. She helped us choose vendors, and got us very competitive prices that we couldn't have got without her (we know - we tried before we hired her!) And, most importantly, she made our wedding absolutely gorgeous!!! We had multiple people tell us it was the most beautiful wedding they had every been to, and Jackie did all the decorating, incorporating in the items that I chose. On the day of the wedding, I seriously cannot imagine not having had Jackie there. I literally didn't have to worry about anything - she took care of it all! If you are thinking about working with Jackie, I can't tell you enough - do it! I can't imagine trying to plan a wedding without her expertise and help - and to top if off, she is an amazingly sweet and nice person :) THANK YOU JACKIE!!!

I cannot put in to words how amazing Jackie is!! My fiancee and I were so sidetracked and busy with work and could take no time off, and Jackie is a fun, laid back wedding planner who is also somehow is incredibly organized, trustworthy, and we had absolutely no stress the entire time. She and her team will take care of everything, you will not need to worry about a thing, and it was so stress free and enjoyable. Personally, I liked that she was available at all times without charging per hour, which would have made us less likely to use a wedding planner. We really couldn't imagine a better wedding planner, cannot say enough about her.

We first met Jackie when she helped a friend plan her wedding. We were so impressed, we decided to have her help us plan ours as well. Simply put, it was the best choice (other than marrying each other) we could have made! Jackie helped us every step of the way and walked us through the process of picking vendors, matching each one to our personalities. She nailed it! All of our vendors were fantastic and Jackie was able to get us everything we wanted while keeping us within our budget (which was amazing, because we wanted a lot!) She helped us work through our venue selection and was a great help in ensuring communication with them went smoothly and that our questions were answered quickly and completely. When we had an issue with a guest booking a reservation, Jackie was on the phone within minutes (despite it being 9 at night), and everything was fixed almost immediately. Throughout the process when we started to get stressed, Jackie always told us "don't worry, it will be fine". Thanks to her it all was! Our day was truly perfect (thanks in large part to her securing backup ceremony locations well ahead of time). We are so grateful for all of Jackie's help in making our day one we will remember forever! Thanks so much Jackie and VT Enchanted Events! If you are debating whether or not you should have someone help plan your wedding or event, stop wondering and just call VT Enchanted Events, you will not regret it! -Katie and Devin

Just want to take a few minutes to give a big, giant THANK YOU to Jackie and her team at VT Enchanted Events for helping to make our wedding a success! The venue consisted of a beautiful barn and nothing else. No decorations, linens, caterer, flowers, beverages, etc. The wedding was in Burlington, VT and we are from NH. Naturally, the coordination would be near impossible for us to handle 3 hours away. In comes Jackie on a recommendation from a local vender. The referral source said “Jackie is very thorough and super responsive”. Boy was she spot on! Jackie returned emails and phone calls at all hours of the day, even on her vacation. We trusted her with all our vendor selections and could not have been happier with the service received. From the catering company, to the flowers, the cake, bus transportation, rental company, and officiant… everything was great. Jackie coordinated it all. Her easy going, laid back personality meshed well with our personalities which was important. We hope to visit with Jackie for years to come in return trips to Vermont. Thank you again VT Enchanted Events for making our wedding day so special! Jamie and Eddie

Jackie and her team went above and beyond for our wedding. They were prompt, thorough, and friendly every step of the way! Especially helping keep me and my bridal party at ease. I would be happy to answer any questions about VT Enchanted Events if you are considering them as your vendor. I cannot thank VT Enchanted Events enough for making our special day picture perfect!

VT Enchanted events are the most amazing event planning company I have worked with to date. I’m a National Sales manager for a luxury company and travel about 60% of the time. The thought of planning a wedding was daunting until I meet Jackie and her team. VT Enchanted events were exceptional from their close network of vendors, quick response, coordinating time line and deliverables and overseeing each and every detail regarding the over design and décor. We got married on Lake Champlain in a beautiful 19th century boat house and it was truly our dream wedding and I contribute our amazing successful day to Jackie and her team!! I would highly recommended a wedding planner and only VT enchanted Event! They are phenomenal and the best in the business!!

I cannot recommend the services of VT Enchanted Events highly enough! I just got married in Stowe, VT (at our home) this past weekend and hired Jackie Watson as the day of wedding coordinator. She was fantastic leading up to the wedding (came to our home several times to do a walk through of the property, contacted all vendors to ensure that everyone was appropriately coordinated, and went over all of the fine details such that no small item was overlooked). However, she was absolutely INDISPENSABLE on the actual wedding day. I was a ball of stress on the eve of our wedding thinking about all of the last minute details that still required my attention, and the minute that Jackie came onto the scene, all of that stress just melted away! She took over my entire "to-do" list in an instant. She never questioned my ideas or intentions for the wedding, simply asked how to best execute them. She ensured that the dress rehearsal ran smoothly, and on the day of the wedding, she worked tirelessly to ensure that everything was set up appropriately (NO DETAIL OVERLOOKED - AND BELIEVE ME WE HAD LOTS OF THEM) and that the whole wedding ran smoothly. I am such a do-it-yourself woman and felt for the longest time that I didn't need a coordinator. TRUST ME ALL OF YOU DO-IT-YOURSELF WOMEN OUT THERE, YOU WANT ONE! Jackie will work with you to make sure that your day is absolutely as perfect as you envisioned, but more importantly, she will work with you to ensure that you have an absolute BALL on the actual day of your wedding. Please contact her ASAP! You will be in good hands and SHE IS WORTH IT!!!

I hired Jackie Watson with Vt Enchanted Events to help plan my wedding and it was the best thing I could of ever done for our wedding! And when I say 'dreams really do come true', that means, when I thought something was going to be impossible or out of reach for our wedding, Jackie ALWAYS came through and made it work. I always thought she had 'special powers' because I cannot imagine I was an easy bride and I wanted what I wanted and had changed my mind so many times and had a lot of last minute things, while most would tell me "your crazy", she didnt and would always put the biggest smile on my face and made my day every time I spoke with her about our wedding. Going above and beyond would be an understatement for Jackie. Jackie's passion for the job and dedication to you in making your big day better than you expected made you feel like you were the only person in her life and all that mattered was you, with how much time, effort and work she spends with you to make your dream day a fantasy! Jackie is a professional, a perfectionist and will work every detail until you are completely satisfied and then some. I highly recommend Jackie and Vt Enchanted Events to help any event. I now consider her not a only my wedding planner but a dear friend and I admirer her. Emily

Enchanted Events is a Vt gem! I have worked in the wedding business for over 37 years and I can't tell you how much we enjoy this company! Jackie and her staff will work their tails off making sure your wedding is a total success!! Wedding professionals in every sense of the word!!!

It was very important to my mom to have a day of coordinator. So we agreed to hire someone to work with. We were happy that we did! Our wedding day ran very smoothly, and the changes that needed to be made to the timeline were done so seamlessly. We worked with Jackie and Nick. They were very laid back and easy going. Nick was willing to take on any role! He offered to pick up our cupcakes and light our bon fire at the end of the night. There were a few details that I wish had been worked out before the day of that I thought would be their jobs to work out... but only minor things. The price seemed high for just the day or coordination, especially because we did so much planning ourselves, but it was great knowing someone was there to make sure it went off without a hitch!

I hired Jackie to do the day-of planning for my sister's wedding in Freeport, Maine. Without her I dont know how we would have pulled it off! She took care of all of the set-up and making sure everything we wanted was done. I thought I would be able to do some things the morning of the wedding, but being the maid-of-honor I didn't even have time to visit the wedding site until we were just about to walk down the aisle. Jackie was there making sure everything went off exactly as my sister envisioned it and stayed through the reception to keep us on track and answer any vendor questions that came up. We wanted to DIY a lot of her wedding and thought we could do it all, but we really couldn't and if we hadn't hired Jackie we all would have been a huge stressful hot mess. If you think you can do it all, you really cant, and you need to hire VT Enchanted Events to do it for you!

A few months before our wedding, we hired Jackie for the week of our wedding. Little did we know, she was going to start immediately, helping us to get organized, stay organized and really allow us to enjoy our day. She went so far above and beyond! Jackie helped us find venders, suggested some decorating tips, kept people on task, set up the reception and ceremony sites... She was worth her weight in gold! I would recommend her and her staff to anyone who is planning an event!

Jackie and her team were there where we needed them, they took care of all the little things and some of the big things, like getting the cupcakes to the reception, getting the chairs back to the reception from the ceremony. They kept us all on task and everything flowed. They checked in with all our vendors and were willing to do whatever we needed. My daughter's wedding was a great success and we couldn't have done it without them. Everything, as they promised from start to finish went so smooth!

Jackie provided day-of-coordination for our wedding by name, but in reality she provided much more than that. She went above and beyond, and was attentive, thoughtful, and responsive throughout the planning process. All we had to do was ask, and she would have an answer, a creative idea, or a vendor to suggest. Jackie understood who we were as a couple, and what we wanted from our wedding. We are a little offbeat, and Jackie embraced who we are and our vision for the wedding. Our wedding day was perfect, and much of that is owed to Jackie who ensured that things moved along smoothly and that the site looked as beautiful as we had imagined. I highly recommend her services!

Jackie Watson and her team at Vermont Enchanted Events played an invaluable role on our Big Day. We retained their services as a Day-Of Coordinator but really, they were so much more to us! From assisting with coordinating logistics between our other vendors (even helping us negotiate a contract with one) to researching ways for us to cut costs and stick to our budget, to helping us on-site at our Rehearsal Luncheon (and, of course, keep our Wedding Day schedule on-target), Vermont Enchanted Events went above and beyond to make sure our day went exactly as we planned. During the planning process, what impressed me most was how much effort Jackie Watson expended to truly inhabiting our vision, to understanding our goals as a couple for our Big Day, and to making sure that every detail was perfect.
