JenEvents

free for the bride (and all of us!). Truly professional, attentive, and an absolute lifesaver — highly recommend!

y and her team. She had helped me with setting up the setting chart and just checking in to see if we wanted to do things on our timeline that we might want to do. My wedding day was so stress free and I owe it all to Jenny.

t smoothly and I was able to have fun. I would definitely recommend Jenny to anyone.

tionships with other wedding vendors and I was thrilled with the DJ, florist and linens supplier that she recommended. Having her on the day of the wedding was so helpful. My daughter the bride and I, MOB, were able to enjoy the special day as Jenny was right there to assist with anything and everything. I highly recommended Jenny and her team at JenEvents!

xcitement to wedding planning that drew us to her. I was planning a western church wedding that still preserved elements of traditional Vietnamese culture so I really wanted a wedding planner who could anticipate those needs and felt that Jenny was our perfect fit! Our venue already provided catering and bar services so we elected to do the day-of-wedding planning package. We were planning from NorCal which made it challenging in many ways. Jen had several check in’s with us over the months and was extremely responsive via e-mail when we requested assistance, such as needed recommendations for late night snacks. She knew all the best vendors in the area so we felt reassured with our vendor line up with her green light. We were also grateful that she was flexible with our tight schedules when we drove down to SoCal. I was a cricut bride and I had A LOT of DIY decor and activity ideas. Jenny was always encouraging yet realistic. She knew or would figure out how to best execute my vision and always had a back up plan which made me feel so secure about trusting her with creating our vision for our big day. For example, I really wanted to create a warm, rustic look over the dance floor with a ceiling of rattan pendant lights with greenery, which the venue had never done before. She really delivered on working with our venue and thinking thoroughly of all the details for execution! It turned out SO AMAZING, just perfect. We received SO many compliments on the decor from our guests! We couldn’t be more grateful to Jenny and her team for carefully making every detail look perfect. Jenny was very thoughtful about details of the wedding that we would have never personally considered and asked clarifying questions to intently understand what we wanted. Her communication was responsive and clear, and it was just an absolute joy working with her. We HIGHLY recommend her for your wedding planning needs!

m enough! They made the day so smooth from start to finish. She provided clear communication from initial contract signing to the big day by checking in with me monthly and as needed. She answered every question I had (even if they had nothing to do with her) about wedding planning. She kept me on a schedule but also gave me the freedom to plan things how I wanted. She made every request I had seem easy and was able to help me execute my vision. Her contract and payment system were clear and user-friendly. Her contract clearly states what services she provides but she even went above-and-beyond that! She took over all communication with my vendors about a month before the wedding so that I could truly enjoy being a bride and the last month of engagement. Her team on the day of the wedding was outstanding! They were like my own personal attendants. Thank you for saving me when I was feeling faint before the ceremony from the heat and tight dress (lol) with water and a snack, carrying all my things, bustling my dress, getting me food/drinks, and literally so much more! The groomsmen also send their thanks for keeping them looking sharp, on time, and sticking with the schedule. I got married out-of-town and travelled to meet Jen in person about three times prior to the big day. She immediately put all of my nerves to rest during these meetings. Her bubbly personality combined with her type-A organization skills left me feeling so relieved that I chose her! I had no doubt about her ability to coordinate an event (really, I think she could literally plan any event ever). She took me from thinking “omg how is this ever going to happen” to “I literally can’t wait for the best day of my life”!! My only regret is not booking her full service package–if I could do it all again I would put it all in her hands, I literally trust her with everything!! Thank you so much for being such an important part of our day. We are so grateful!!

offered thoughtful, helpful advice. Her experience with Southern California venues really showed—she was already familiar with my reception venue, which made everything so much easier and less stressful for me. One thoughtful touch that really stood out was that she sent her assistant coordinator to be onsite for our rehearsal day. It was so reassuring to have that support and guidance leading up to the big day. On the wedding day itself, Jen and her team were amazing. They made sure everything ran smoothly from start to finish. I could clearly see how much wedding experience she has—she was organized, calm, and completely prepared for anything that came up. Thanks to Jen, my now-husband and I were able to fully enjoy our special day without any stress. I’m so grateful we had her by our side and I would highly recommend JenEvents to any future bride!

riences and imagination and name many of the things that you think should be at a wedding like tables and people whose names you know and silverware and ice, but the act of then trying to list these items and then figure out where and how to get them feels impossible, as does identifying what is not on this list but needs to be on this list. Then you realize you don't actually even know what things you need because you know neither where nor when your wedding is and both of those unknowns determine what you can or even should desire. This paralysis unfolds like an ever descending spiral of madness with each day that passes, and everyone who you announced your engagement to must surely be sitting in a state of judgemental apprehension, pondering their lack of an invitation in their mailbox. Screw this. We're hiring a wedding planner. Enter Jen. Hiring Jen is like turning an essay into a multiple choice test for which you either already know every answer, or may ask your new best friend what she thinks the answer is and she's always right. I'm fairly confident that if somebody gave Jen an adequate amount of compensation, she could fix the entire economy in however much time she said it would take. At no point in what should have been a harrowing experience did I or my wife, both of us Engineers who worry about things for a living, worry that anything at the wedding was going to go wrong. My largest concerns on the wedding day was forgetting to look at the perfectly curated list of things I had to do created by Jen, and failing to locate my desired pair of socks, which would have forced me to use my backup pair of socks. Jen says to me a week before the wedding "Don't worry Zach, if something goes wrong, you won't even notice it, that's why I'm here" or something like that. And son of a bitch I don't think anything went even slightly wrong. 10/10 I don't know where this protagonist from a space adventure movie came from or why she runs an event planning company or why she's not also a therapist, but thank GOD we found her.

ecommendations. Wedding planning is pretty stressful, but she made us feel calm every time we spoke with her. We had a few last minute changes and contingency, but she was very accommodating and pulled through. On our wedding day, Jenny and her team went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly. She even stayed with us the whole night until everyone left the building. 11/10 We highly recommend Jenny!!!

e wedding week and made sure everything was in line before we even arrived to the event. She made the wedding chaos feel so much more doable and is so ready to help you however needed. We highly recommend Jenny!

ated superb communication skills (written and verbal), as well as fantastic soft skills. She has wonderful established relationships with vendors which helped the process enormously. She has strong systems to ensure a beautiful event. I'm so grateful that I connected with her and cannot say enough nice things about her. If you use her for your event, she will take the stress out of it for you, so you can enjoy it.

r, it was like talking with my friend. I only needed the month of coordination, basically I had booked all my vendors and had decided on a wedding style, just needed help keeping things organized, keep me in check the few months before, walk through the rehearsal with us, and coordinate the day of! Jenny really made everything from beginning to end so amazing, always there for us if we had random questions via text or email, was flexible to set up tasting and venue visits with, and most of all the wedding day was so seamless. The day of was chaotic in the best way, and Jenny had all the timelines, vendors, and details DOWN. She remembered the things I had forgotten, like steaming my veil! Jenny and her team made sure the decor and reception was exactly like how I had imagined! If were to get married again we would choose JenEvents!! :)

to make wedding planning easier for you. Our day was perfect thanks to Jen and her team. They all went above and beyond to make everything run smoothly and look amazing.

tor. From our initial phone call she was super sweet and accommodating. She constantly checked in every month. Dia was our coordinator the day of and she was the best! Everything was so smooth we did not have to worry about a single thing. We forgot our top tier cake and Dia made sure it was dropped off at our house the same night! Jenevents sure does go above and beyond! Recommend 100x!!!!

a single worry. Thanks to her expertise and organization, everything executed perfectly. I couldn’t have asked for a better coordinator. Highly recommended!

knew that she would be perfect for what we were looking for as she put me at ease and had great energy! Throughout the whole process she was super helpful and not once made us feel as though we were behind on anything. She listened to what we wanted for our day and helped our vision come to life! On the wedding day, Jenny and her team did an amazing job from start to finish! I remember feeling completely relaxed and as though I had nothing to do but sit back and enjoy that morning because her and her team had everything handled. They completely set up the reception space and made everything look absolutely stunning! (Totally surpassed my vision! It was perfect down to the littlest detail) We also repurposed some florals and decor and they took care of the entire transition from ceremony, to cocktail hour, to the reception. Our wedding was the best day ever and it was largely due to Jenny and her team helping everything move along and adapting as needed! Some things we appreciated: Kind, friendly and easy to connect with Great communication from start to finish Attentive to our wants and all the details Great eye for design and set up Great vendor recommendations Went above and beyond our expectations As a super Type-A bride, I was super relaxed my whole wedding day and wasn’t stressing about anything due to the wonderful Jenny and her team. We cannot recommend Jenny and her team enough!

nd helped us with all of the details we weren’t thinking about. She was amazing on our wedding day and took care of everything without bothering or worrying us. I would highly recommend Jen Events to anyone who is looking for a wedding coordinator!

he processional to go, and she made sure we didn't forget about little things like table numbers when we were down to the wire. Her team has great energy and were so professional on the day of the wedding. They ran around making sure everything was running smoothly, handing out tips, and keeping every part of the wedding on schedule so my husband and I didn't haven't to think about a thing except enjoying ourselves. I'd highly recommend!

. She checked in with us monthly, gave us great vendor recommendations, and answered all our questions. She was so organized and professional. I felt so much less stressed having JenEvents as our coordinator throughout the planning process. I can't recommend them enough!

line out to myself and the other vendors WAY in advance, and was so attentive as to ask us about our vendor meal preferences and send us all a floorplan unprompted. In my experience, I often have to ask for these things, and when this level of attention to detail was displayed so early in the planning process, I knew the wedding would be a smashing success. Needless to say, I was right! Thank you so much Jenny for bringing together such a fantastic team of vendors, and making everything fit together so seamlessly. Any couple would be lucky to have you, and I hope to get the chance to work with you more in the future!

& won us over! From the beginning she was kind and easy to get a hold of. Once things got closer she was organized & kept me feeling at ease through the stress. Day of Jenny was just amazing - making sure everything was going smooth and kept a smile on her face keeping me calm. Best decision was to hire her!!

professional and she has very valuable resources. Her and her team made our wedding day run so smoothly and my parents and I were so grateful to have her there. We didn't have to lift a finger.

ween vendors. She literally brought our vision to life. Impeccable communication, professionalism and time management. Highly recommend working with her and her team.

s our wedding! These are the things that we appreciated about Jen: - Kind, friendly, and warm - Great vendor recommendations - Strong communicator - Flexible with our changing plans - Was able to see the big picture and make it happen - Went above and beyond If another occasion arises for an event planner, we would gladly use Jen again without a single hesitation. We feel lucky that our venue was the one that connected us to such a great person and fantastic wedding planner. Thank you!

fresh flowers all over it, but it arrived with no flowers and she went around finding the perfect colors and made it look absolutely beautiful!! I ordered the cake myself on the side ;) Jen is organized and worked seamlessly with all the vendors and the venue. I couldn't have asked to work with anyone better. Thank you so very much for helping us have such a truly amazing day!!

ing decor and kept many of our decor at her place for us. She kept track of things we needed reminders of the day of the wedding, and helped keep everything organized. We were so happy to work with her!

d every one of our questions so promptly and most importantly honored and respected our vision for our wedding every step of the way. She went above and beyond to make our wedding everything we wanted and more. Thank you, Courtney!

s about wedding planning and our wedding day. We were both stressed about different details and every time, Jenny swooped in with an efficient solution! She was so attentive to our needs and wants, ensuring that we were able to bring our wedding vision to life. She is so easy to work with and get along with too! All of our vendors and our venues loved working with Jenny, which made things so much smoother! She and her team made it so that we did not have to worry about anything on our wedding day except showing up and cherishing every moment we had with one another. We honestly do not think we would’ve been able to enjoy our wedding day as much without her and her team’s support. We highly recommend Jenny to anyone planning a wedding or any event really!

houghtful and every interaction she strived to get to know us and to make every detail meaningful. She gives a helpful list of vendor recommendations that made planning the wedding so easy. Then, she took the reins of the final planning details from about 3 months before the wedding day. Because of JenEvents, I didn't need to worry about making the timeline, coordinating with all the vendors at both the church ceremony venue and a separate reception venue, and getting all the decor to both venues. On the day of, as a bride, I really felt like I didn't need to think/sweat the small details and got to really enjoy the day with 200+ guests (and on time, too)! If you are having your venue at the Richard Nixon Library, truly consider having Jenny and her team on your side. She knows the ins and outs of the venue and provided such valuable advice about decorating ideas as well! Honestly, her professionalism and expertise in planning would be beneficial for any couple in any venue!

ny one afternoon and she was so warm and calm, her presence just made us feel so secure with wedding planning! It was a no brainer to choose her as our wedding coordinator. Jenny was so amazing at communicating with us. Every obstacle we faced during planning, Jenny was always there to provide solutions and assure us that things were going smoothly. She has a really warm and kind demeanor, she makes you feel like family and it made us thoroughly enjoy the wedding process in its entirety! JenEvents went ABOVE and BEYOND during the wedding itself! Every little request, they handled 110% and were the BEST team we could've ever imagined! We had a fantastic wedding and looking back, I really don't think there were any mistakes or mishaps during the night at all. I attribute the night's flawlessness to Jenny and her JenEvents team. We really couldn't have done it without Jenny and her team. We kinda wish we could go back in time and relive the entire wedding planning and wedding day because of JenEvents. They are THAT awesome. If you are looking for the best wedding coordinator, pick Jenny and her JenEvents team! You will absolutely not regret it!

ent the extra mile. Throughout the planning process, she was always there to make our lives easier and ease our minds, which was invaluable. I highly recommend booking with her and her team for anyone looking!

st wedding planner in the industry.

ur wedding. While searching for a day of coordinator, I was reluctant to find one because my husband and I are both type A people, very organized and believed we could do it on our own. Boy were we wrong. Jenny came through for us time and time again, helping us locate vendors, checking in on us when she didn’t have to and overall you literally feel safe when you give her a hug (I’m not even joking). I am vietnamese and my husband is white, so when I (a jenny nguyen) found out Jenny Halstead was a former jenny nguyen, I absolutely had to have her. Not only did we have the same names, but she understood what it meant to combine two cultures and make sure everything went smooth sailing. Jenny and her team worked tirelessly in our 270 people wedding and always did so with such a great attitude. I have to give a shoutout to Courtney Koltes as well because when things got chaotic, she handled it so gracefully and she truly is a gem on the JenEvents team. At the end of the night, we told Jenny that she needs to up her pricing because everything she did for us was more and beyond what we expected from her. She truly is the best money we spent on our wedding.

makes contacts booked venders, makes recommendations, makes a schedule, and maps everything out in a clear concise way. She and her team follows through on everything so you can relax and enjoy your event in confidence. If you are looking for an event coordinator call or email her immediately. She will make you feel like #1. I'm a very organized person but Jenny tops me, so don't waste your time looking for anyone else, Jenny is your gal.

full planner, seriously do it I promise you won't regret. I'm honestly so thankful we had her. My family and friends loved her as well and every vendor I booked talked about how awesome she is. We couldn't be happier!

e bill. We met with her and told her where we were at in our planning and she told us that the package we selected was too much and she would adjust for what she would offer. We felt like she was worth every penny! She got us in touch with an affordable DJ, live guitarist and florist. I say affordable because they were TOP NOTCH and didn’t break our bank. They weren’t inexpensive, but again, worth every single penny. I wanted people to have fun, and I wanted to have fun, but I never would have thought people would be saying our wedding was so much fun, they wanted to know the names of the people we hired. That’s because of Jen. We did find some people on our own but she filled in the many blanks we were missing and I’m truly and forever grateful that we found her and her team.

time for us to meet multiple times. She literally does it all from timeline set up, vendor coordination, suggestions/advice, decor set up, etc. During our wedding I had a handful of people come up to me and compliment me on how great our wedding coordinator was. I LOVE Jenny!

love her level of experience both at The Nixon Library and as a wedding planner. Jenny made me feel so incredibly supported throughout the process. She answered every single one of my many emailed questions swiftly, kindly, and professionally. She also provided expert guidance and great attention to detail. And when it was time to deliver on the big day, she and her staff went above and beyond. It was a day my husband and I will never forget, and was made successful and incredibly special thanks to JenEvents. HIRE HER! 10-star experience!!

schedule moving to a T the day of! Made for perfect night! They are all responsive leading up to the event and essentially met my expectations for wedding planners. Great job! Our event was in Portofino Hotel and Marina in Redondo Beach, CA.

ake sure you’re happy. She and her team were literal miracle workers!! If you’re on the fence, take this as your sign to hire her. You will not regret it!

stood out was when the couple was so involved with the events of their day that they did not enjoy any of it. So when it was my turn to get married and my wife suggested we get a day of coordinator i was in total agreement. Little did I know that my wife had picked the Jedi Master of coordinators! Jen handled everything!!!! Our wedding was at the Nixon Library and Jen was a pro at working with this venue and their suggested vendors. If the Nixon is your venue DOUBLE MY 5 STAR REVIEW. Jen was available to us whenever we needed her, she kept us on track and helped us to prepare for things we didn't consider. When we had questions about how to make arrangements with our vendors she was either quick with the answer or offered to handle it herself. On our wedding day she was so on top of everything we did not even have to think about it. The only way to truly do her and her staff justice is for me to say: "Imagine being a guest at a wedding, you take it all in, you enjoy time with family and long lost friends, you eat delicious food and partake in an open bar. Now picture all of this but you're actually the bride and groom, you actually enjoy your whole wedding start to finish!!". Jen worked so well with of food vendors, DJ and MC's that we didn't have to do anything but enjoy all of our loved ones having a great time (many for the first time since covid started). We cant thank her enough for making our wedding something everyone will remember. Anyone considering Jen and her team, feel free to reach out to me here for any questions or reassurance.

ing (there is so much that goes into planning that brides do not realize). Jenny and Crystal were lifesavers. Throughout the planning process they helped me find vendors in my price range, kept everything organized, and made sure I was on task with planning. I received plenty of emails and texts from them that really helped me stay calm and organized through the whole process. Jenny was even able to research and sort out an issue with a fraudulent vendor that I had booked and was able to help me find a new one. The day of my actual wedding went so smoothly because Crystal and her assistant handled everything! Other vendors even complimented me on how professional and organized my wedding coordinators were. Hiring JenEvents was the best thing I could have done and I highly recommend them to anyone who is in the wedding planning process. They are easy to work with, affordable, organized, and truly want what is best for the bride and groom. I can't thank them enough!

thing on our day. We couldn't have done it without her. Jen was super responsive to every question and communication. She is experienced and knowledgeable about all aspects of a major event which showed by her follow up on the details. She gave me multiple options for each decision. Every vendor we chose was wonderful. We were so thrilled with the way our wedding turned out. Most people warned us that things would go wrong and that we should be prepared for that. Not with Jen. She kept everything running smoothly and handled all staff and vendors. I would HIGHLY recommend her for any event/wedding!
