Jen Neal Event Design

We were so grateful for Jen from the moment we first chatted to the last call on our wedding night. She skillfully coordinated with vendors both before & during the big day, completely set up our decor across all our dinner tables & was always gracious with our guests, nudging them along where they needed to be and when. Jen matched our vision & energy, made sure we were clear on every detail leading up to our wedding & kept us calm the day of. Stop scrolling, stop searching — go with Jen!!

We are SO glad we had someone on our team who was professional, experienced, proactive, and organized. Starting a few weeks before our wedding, Jen was on top of everything and super communicative, responding to questions shortly after I sent them. She was attentive to details that we didn't even think about. Hiring a day-of coordinator was the right move and choosing Jen was the even better move. It was great to have a point person on the day we just wanted to enjoy and not worry about, and it was comforting knowing that Jen would be able to attend to any issue that arose. Highly recommend her to anyone!

Jen, our wedding planner, was an absolute gem. With her at the helm, I was able to enjoy every moment without a single worry. I simply handed her the reins on the day of, armed with instructions and a suitcase of meticulously organized essentials like table/seat names. Jen effortlessly orchestrated everything, seamlessly setting up decorations and ensuring the smooth flow of events, all while allowing us to focus on family photos. Her knack for calming nerves was invaluable during the practice ceremony, providing multiple run-throughs until my partner and I felt completely at ease. Jen's professionalism and support made our special day truly unforgettable.

What can I say. I just wish I had known about her earlier. We're so thankful for Jen for assisting us through what could've been a disaster. She's helped us through coordinating and communicating with the vendors on their needs and how to make it all happen. Saved us through the chaotic last couple of weeks before our wedding. And just happy that it all came together as well as it did with last minute changes from our parents.

Jen did an excellent job of catching our blind spots in terms of planning out our schedule for the event, communicating with vendors, keeping tabs on the flow of the evening, and flagging anything else that came up throughout the night. Between our two huge families, she made sure that everything was able to run smoothly. Jen did a fantastic job. She made sure that everything was set up correctly, and without her we could not have had a successful wedding where we could focus on our guests and having fun! We cannot thank her enough for really making our day special. Thanks again Jen!

Jen was a pleasure to work with!! Super sweet and personable, Jen helped me think of things/ask questions I hadn’t even considered when it came to the logistics of our big day. She took care of all vendor coordination and decor, and was always prompt when it came to emails, texting, and back and forth before the big day. We ended up having the most beautiful, memorable & stress-free wedding night. Thank you Jen!!

Jen was incredible from the moment I first contacted her inquiring about a day of coordinator. She was responsive, professional, and had a really wonderful energy about her. I'm in a PhD program, working full time, all while planning this wedding- needless to say I was constantly feeling chaotic and scattered but meeting Jen eased a lot of that stress for me. We met at the venue about a month before the big day and went over my vision/plans for everything. Jen took detailed notes, sketched out the venue and seating plans I had communicated and executed all of the above seamlessly on the day. Not once during my wedding was I worried or stressed- Jen handled it all (including making sure I was eating and had a drink!). I highly recommend Jen for all your planning needs!

From my first email exchange with Jen she was helpful, practical, kind, and genuine. I first reached out when we were panicking about the cost of catering, and Jen recommended we keep looking around because affordable full-service caterers do exist. Without Jen’s advice we would have either blown our budget or created big headaches for ourselves with a complicated drop-off catering scheme. There were several other times during our planning process where Jen’s expertise kept us grounded. With a lot of DIY aspects to our wedding I was nervous about how it would all come together, but having Jen on our team was so reassuring. We were pretty organized and hands-on in planning our wedding, so we didn’t originally budget for a day-of coordinator. But Jen’s very fair pricing model didn’t require us overpay for services we didn’t need, & working with her was worth every penny. During our walk-through with the reception venue (which was not a typical wedding venue & came with a lot of unknowns), she asked great questions and helped everyone get on the same page. From there, everything came together beautifully & we were able to fully enjoy our wedding day without worrying about logistics day-of. If there was anything that went wrong, we didn’t even hear about it. She also organized our grand entrance beautifully—getting 100 people to line up & throw confetti at the same time can’t be easy but, based on the smiles on everyone’s faces in the photos & our own vivid joyful memories of the moment, she pulled it off perfectly. Thanks again, Jen!

JUST. HIRE. JEN!!! Trust me — you won’t regret. I cannot express enough how grateful my partner and I are for having Jen as our day-of coordinator. From start to finish, she was an absolute superstar. Our wedding day was nothing short of magical, and it's all thanks to her incredible skills and dedication. Jen was professional, responsive (probably the most responsive vendor we’ve had, you will NOT need to chase her at all), calm yet warm. We hired her as our day-of coordinator for our wedding at the Wythe hotel in Brooklyn, NY. Even though she was only supposed to cover the wedding day, Jen got involved weeks before the wedding to make sure she has all the details covered. Jen's communication throughout the planning process was outstanding. She was always just a message or email away, promptly answering our questions and offering valuable suggestions. I consider myself a very proactive and responsive bride, but there had been multiple times when Jen jumped on cases already before I even saw the email threads. She also really listened intently to our vision and made it her mission to bring it to life. Her attention to detail was impeccable, ensuring that every aspect of the day was flawlessly executed. The bottom line is — Jen was ALWAYS there for us, and that’s probably the most important thing you’ll need from a day-of coordinator. On the day of our wedding, Jen was a true hero. She orchestrated the entire event with finesse, ensuring that everything ran smoothly. Her calm presence was what every couple needed for their special day. Because of her, we were able to fully enjoy our day, knowing that everything was in capable hands. Throughout the night, Jen was there, but not in anyone’s way. My MOH texted me the next day just to tell me how impressed she was by Jen’s work (and note, coming from my MOH, the bar is HIGH). We had brought a lot of personal items and decorations to the wedding. And let me tell you — Jen did NOT miss a thing. From our seating chart (which she later wrapped in cardboard box to ensure it wouldn’t be damaged), to candle holders, to numerous small signs, and etc., Jen packed everything for us after the midnight. We didn’t need to answer a single question and were able to enjoy our after party thoroughly. Our wedding day was a dream come true, and we owe it all to Jen. She went above and beyond in every way possible, and we can't thank her enough. If you're looking for a day-of coordinator who is not only incredibly talented but also genuinely cares about making your day perfect, Jen is the one. We wholeheartedly recommend her, and we are forever grateful for the unforgettable memories she helped create. Thank you, Jen, for being the superstar behind our perfect day!

We hired Jen as our day-of-wedding planner and it was the best idea ever. The venue actually had its own day of planner and kind of suggested it wasn't necessary to have both ... umm, wrong. Jen handled everything we needed to have done, reviewing my (perhaps overly-detailed) instructions and making sure they were executed as I had hoped they would be. She handled a few last-minute almost disasters and was incredibly kind and compassionate throughout it all. You won't regret hiring her. it's a no brainer so just do it!

We hired Jen as our day of coordinator for our wedding in Brooklyn. She has the perfect personality for the job - she's calm under pressure, super organized, and very easy to get along with. I'm super Type-A and wanted someone who would keep us on schedule, which is exactly what she did. She made sure everything went smoothly, from making sure the venue was set up exactly as we pictured, to ushering us from event to event. She even stuck around to help us clean up since we couldn't leave anything at the venue after our wedding. I felt like we really got to enjoy our wedding - she was a great addition to our team and we really appreciated having her on our team.

Jen was absolutely awesome. We hired her as a day-of planner but as soon as we started working together she had shared folders & docs set up so we could start organizing everything. This made it super easy when it came time to ironing out all the details. A few weeks before the wedding we met up for a walk-through and went through a bunch of details I wouldn’t have even thought to think about. Jen guided us through a lot of the last-minute decisions we needed to make about timelines & vendor arrivals. On the day of the wedding Jen took care of everything so we didn’t have to stress about things like vendor arrivals & set-ups. I am a bit of a control freak but I’m so happy I trusted Jen’s expertise because everything turned out perfectly. During the ceremony & reception Jen was always there when we needed her - to ask a question or make a last-minute request. She made sure the evening ran smoothly but was also flexible when we changed things up a bit here and there on the fly. She was really the perfect behind-the-scenes-but-always-accessible coordinator we could have asked for. We are so grateful we had her by our sides on our wedding day!

We could not have been happier with Jen. I would give a thousand stars. She met with me a couple times prior and truly took time to get to know what our needs were. She is organized, funky, bubbly and conscientious. Also she was prompt, goes above and beyond, kind and so fun. She got us and our style and made sure that we were able to enjoy our day fully. We could not have been happier. HIGHLY recommend. love love love christiana and max christiana and max

Jen was the MVP of our wedding! We are so glad that we had her as our day-of coordinator. There were several delivery issues that I had no idea about because she quickly and efficiently dealt with them, made sure our guests were taken care of, and let me enjoy my day. Jen gave very helpful advice in planning the layout of the venue during our walk-through two weeks before the wedding, and she even found three people we hired to help with setup. We can't recommend her enough!

As a bride-on-a-budget, I hired 15+ vendors while my (now) husband did DIY decor. The one thing we knew we couldn’t do was to coordinate the wedding on the day of and decided we needed professional help. I hired Jen based on the great reviews from different wedding sites and had a great gut feeling about her. We communicated over email and her response rate is amazing. Jen answered all of my questions however silly or anxious or super-stressed-sounding they may be. She kept me organized and helped streamline the “day of” timeline. She contacted some of the vendors that hadn’t confirmed delivery or arrival time the week of the wedding. And on the big day, she took care of payments, tipping, corralling our families for photos, kept us on schedule, helped us cut the cake because somehow we didn’t know how, fixed my bustle!! (yes, she can sew too!) and helped gather our personal things for next day pick up. We were able to enjoy our wedding and soak everything in. Thanks to Jen, our special day was stress-free, and even the day after too!

I cannot thank Jen enough for all that she did for our wedding this past weekend!! Hiring her to help set up our event and coordinate the day, was absolutely one the best decisions we made during the planning process. From the moment we connected through email I know we were in good hands. Prior to our wedding we were able to walk our venue with Jen, and the care and attention to detail she had, put me so at ease. The day of our wedding I was so overwhelmed by how perfect everything looked! It was such a relief to just be able to arrive to our wedding and have my entire vision come to reality, and just be able to take it all in. Jen set up everything exactly how I had always planned, and even brought her own touch to things, and made the decor shine better than I could have thought. It was so comforting to have her in our corner throughout the night as well, and know everything was in control. Thank you so much Jen!! xoxo

I hired Jen Neal for my wedding this previous Sunday evening to be my Day of Coordinator. All I can say is fantastic! Working with Jen was a dream. I wasn't sure I needed a coordinator as my fiance and I are really hands on and wanted to do a DIY party, but honestly I could not have done it without Jen. From the start she got my vision and let me be as weird and nontraditional as I wanted to be without judgement. She helped me with the venue and other vendors and asked questions I didn't even think about asking. Honestly, working with Jen was like having the best Maid of Honor but not having to force one of your friends to do it. She went above and beyond before and during the party. I cannot speak highly enough about her! Great experience and wonderful person.
