Jenna Culley Events

We hired Jenna and her team for our July 2024 wedding. As an career event planner myself, I had a clear vision of the day and high expectations for what our wedding planners would provide. Jenna and her team exceeded these exceptions and truly helped make our dream wedding come together. From our first call, I felt like Jenna understood us and was just such a fun and kind person to work with. Liz, our lead planner, was amazing as well and took care of so much for us. They made every meeting fun, were quick to pivot when we needed, and never said no to an idea I had, even if it was something they hadn't previous done. They helped us determine the perfect venue for us and then connected us with all of our other amazing vendors, they really know the best of the best in the industry. JCE's talent really showed in the design process, and it was so incredible to see them turn my huge Pinterest board into reality on our wedding day. They made sure my husband I were solely focused on enjoying the wedding day, and handled everything else for us. I need to also shoutout Leah, another Lead Planner, who supported us day-of and not only crouched behind me in photos holding my train to protect my dress from the rain, but also sewed on my bustle when one loop was missing. I would recommend them over and over again - love you, JCE team <3

Highly recommend Jenna Culley Events! Working with Heidi was lovely- she was professional, kind, and took the lion's share of the stress out of wedding planning. Our wedding was beautiful, seamless, and pretty much perfect. Thank you Heidi and JCE :)

I work with a lot of vendors and suppliers in my day job, so I know exceptional customer service when I see it. Jenna and her team were FLAWLESS start to finish and made the process of planning a wedding fun! Our wedding was very complicated and unique - Jenna's team really listened and got to know us as people. We felt like their only client. Their stellar reputation also assures you get the best of the best treatment from everyone they work with. Just go with Jenna Culley, you'll thank me.

Heidi and the JCE team are the absolute best, would choose them again and again! They were extremely professional, on top of everything, Heidi picked up and took on tasks before we could even think to do them, and the full staff the day of made sure every detail was perfect down to making sure we got to try the appetizers and dessert. If you are thinking about going with a wedding planner it's JCE or bust!

Hiring Jenna Culley Events was the best decision we made. Working with Heidi allowed for us to plan a successful and memorable wedding weekend in St. Paul from Atlanta in just under 9 months. Heidi’s “only handle it once” approach to organization and planning is very much in alignment with how we operate. We never felt like an agenda was being pushed; instead, she was completely receptive to digging in and executing OUR vision. From assisting us in handling vendor communications (I think we had 20+ overall), to making sure our day-of went smoothly, we were fully covered. Because of her decades of industry knowledge, not only did we have a gorgeous wedding, we also enjoyed the planning process. We cannot thank you enough, Heidi!

Heidi, Jenna, and the whole team are an absolute dream! Working with JCE was the best choice my now-husband and I ever made. Heidi was such a joy to work with. Every detail was thought of and taken care of before we even had a chance to stress. Wedding planning was, dare I say, easy. And that is 110% thanks to Heidi and JCE. Our wedding day went so smoothly, and we were so confident that everything would go well even if a problem did come up, because the day-of-coordination was so well thought out. Looking back on our past year, there is nothing more we could have asked to be done by JCE. It really feels like Heidi and JCE really did everything for us. We would make the decision to work with them again a million times if given the chance!

We had a very average wedding budget to work with, so we went back and forth about hiring a month-of coordinator for our wedding. But both my now-husband and I agree that hiring Jenna Culley Events to be our month-of coordinators was some of the best money we spent throughout the wedding process. Right from the initial consultation--before we had even hired them--they had so many insightful suggestions, discount codes, referrals to high-quality vendors, etc. Everyone we interacted with at JCE was kind, enthusiastic, helpful, professional, responsive, and clearly experienced. Working with them was not only smooth and easy, but it made the planning process in the months leading up to the wedding more enjoyable. In the last few weeks leading up to the wedding especially, having the JCE team as someone to punt all the logistical details to, and to have them coordinating times and hand-offs with all of our vendors in conversations that we didn't need to be involved in was such a massive weight off our shoulders. The logistics are the least fun part of planning a wedding, so to have a trusted vendor who can just take them off your hands makes wedding planning so much more bearable--especially in those last two weeks of crunch time. As if the JCE team hadn't already shown their value in the months and weeks leading up to the wedding, having them onsite on the wedding day was really a dream. They knew exactly what they were doing, and they pulled all of the strings silently and seamlessly in the background, so we never had to think about anything, and we were just able to be 100% present at our own wedding. We never for a moment doubted that things would go perfectly--and they did! Although we were lucky to only have a very few, very minor things go wrong on the day-of, when any of them did, the JCE team took care of them fully, and showed their years of experience by solving problems with ease. The JCE team is a team full of incredibly experienced professionals who were an absolute joy to work with. We recommend them over and over again.

I cannot say enough good things about Jenna Culley Events and the entire team. I had looked into probably 5 or 6 other planners when I began my initial search, but after my phone consultation with Jenna I knew none of them would compare to JCE. I truly felt like she cared about every word I said during that initial meeting and I immediately felt a sense of calm and trust. After that initial conversation the team was so great at communicating next steps while we got acquainted with the online planning suite they use (which was truly a life saver!) and had our first meeting with Heidi, our lead Planner. From there, Heidi and the rest of the team handled everything and made sure we stayed on track every step of the way. I remember being so nervous that I was going to make the wrong decision when it came to selecting some of the early wedding vendors just based on their reviews online, so trust me when I say you can believe every word of all of JCE's positive reviews (including this one), and you should feel nothing but confident about choosing them to be your wedding planner. Our entire bridal party, both of our families, and many of our other vendors have told us how great Heidi and the team was to work with, how easy they made the entire planning process, and how smoothly our big day went thanks to them! I truly cannot recommend them enough!

It took me a while to write this review because I needed to meet the character limit, and I could write an entire book about our fantastic experience with Jenna and JCE! First of all, I am that bride. I am a perfectionist, and usually in control, but didn't want to plan a wedding, but also wanted to be involved with decisions. My husband and I also decided it would be great to change jobs, start planning an out of state move, and maybe throw in some egg freezing during our two year engagement. While we lived our crazy life, Jenna and her team handled the logistical nightmare that was our request to have our wedding on a private island in the middle of a lake in a state that neither of us lived in. Not only did Jenna and I immediately connect in our first conversation, but it was SO easy to tell she is just a DOER. I never once felt like a ball might be dropped, or something overlooked. (This includes but is not limited to set up and take down of an entire different tent, a flooring solution, placing glitter on flower petals, fogging the grass for bugs, dealing with a brand new venue staff...you name it--she had to deal with it). She catered to our many very specific requests, found me the perfect vendors who also were wonderful, and helped my vision come alive in a better way than I even imagined! (Who thought it was possible ;) ) There were road blocks (big ones), and all sorts of things that came up and Jenna and her team handled them with professionalism and complete cool. She had a solution for everything, and I could trust that she had our best interests, and budget, in mind. It felt like she was just as invested as we were. On the day of, Jenna helped me into my dress, rode with me to my first look, and cooled me off when I was hotter than I've ever been in the heatwave we had. Most importantly she helped us keep our perspective throughout the whole process. The entire JCE team really embodies the "above and beyond" sentiment that is hard to find these days. I really don't know how we got so lucky! While having a formal wedding started out as just a reason to have a big reunion/party after COVID--JCE gave us an intimate, beautiful, super special day that we will remember forever and are so glad we did it. We cannot recommend JCE enough! Jenna, Justin, Erin, everyone--we miss you already!

We had a great experience working with Jenna and Heidi for our wedding. They provided us with excellent vendor recommendations and really helped us with the floral and decor design. It was so nice to be able to trust Heidi to handle the logistics, which allowed us to be relaxed and truly present on our wedding day. They even met with us the week of the wedding to take all of the extras and sentimental items off of our hands so we didn’t have to worry about it on the morning of. We would highly recommend hiring Jenna and the team for a stress-free planning experience!

Where to start with how amazing Jenna Culley Events is? We worked with Liz and had a phenomenal experience. As a type-A gal myself, it can be difficult to trust passing on responsibilities to others, especially with something big like a wedding. Liz did such an incredible job staying organized and delivered on every tiny detail. There were some oopsie moments on the day of our wedding- instead of being stressed about these, I knew that Liz and her team would come to the rescue, and they did!! We are so grateful to JCE and are thankful that we chose them to coordinate our special day. :)

Jenna Cully Events is nothing less than fantastic. Each and every step of the way my wedding planner was there for me to answer any question that I had. Response times were quick and the had the best guidance and advice! On the day of the event, not only was Heidi there to handle everything that went on behind the senses she also made sure everything was perfect for me and my now husband. She refilled drinks, got us water, grabbed us snacks, anything she was there! My wedding party, friends, and family were extremely impressed with their work and agreed that it was one of the best put together weddings they had been in and/or attended. I can't thank or recommend Jenna Cully Events enough!

We had an incredible experience working with Jenna and her team for our wedding! They were on top of every single detail, were impressively proactive, easy to talk to and communicate with, and very clearly cared about both doing the job well and making sure we were happy the entire way through. We could not recommend them more!

Absolutely obsessed with Jenna and her team. They helped me plan both my shower and my wedding and I could not recommend them enough! Timely, creative and full of energy!

We had the wedding of our dreams thanks to Jenna and Jenna Culley Events. They made everything so effortless, from design planning and vendor selection to the day-of execution. Jenna's creativity and expertise in the wedding industry truly shined, coming up with unique ideas that embodied us as a couple that we never would have thought of on our own. Everything came together even better than we had imagined. On the day of our wedding, we can attribute being able to relax and enjoy every second of the day thanks to Jenna, Leah, and the rest of the team. We were not worried about logistics or coordination and were able to enjoy the flow of the day and soak in all the little moments! If we could go back in time, we wouldn't change a thing! We would hire JCE 100 times over again. We cannot recommend Jenna and her team enough!!

Where do I begin! We were gifted the help of a wedding planner by my in-laws, and I am just so thrilled we chose Jenna Culley Events. We interviewed many people, and if you are now in that same spot, no need to look any further. This is your planner! We worked with Heidi throughout the planning process, and she was unbelievably responsive and helpful! We often sent emails to Heidi late at a night and would be shocked to get a response minutes later. I don’t know when she sleeps. Jenna and Heidi made every idea come to life and recommended the absolute best vendors to work with. Our day was perfect because of them and all of the behind the scenes work they did. Before the big day, they took all of our DIY and sentimental items off of our hands. I know that some wedding planners won’t handle the DIY items so this was such a relief, particularly to my mom, who would have been the one doing all of that. At the end of the night, they gathered everything and offered to take it all back to our hotel. I really cannot say enough good things about Heidi. She was a dream to work with and genuinely a fun and kind person to be around. They thought of every single detail and Heidi and our day-of coordinator Liz managed to be everywhere all at once the day of the wedding. They made the day so easy and had such a calming presence. We are beyond thrilled with their hard work and so happy to have connected with them early on in the planning process!!!!

I had the pleasure of meeting Jenna in Jan of 2021. It was about a few weeks after I was engaged and had interviewed a few wedding planners prior to meeting her. When we had our meeting, in my spirit I knew she would be our wedding planner. Her caring nature and compassion exuded through our video conference and she was extremely understanding knowing that we were located across the country at that time. Throughout the year and a half until our wedding, the JCE team enabled the smoothest transition anyone could ever request. Jenna and the team provided a variety of options for vendors, locations, designs, and other aspects that allowed my visions as the bride to be brought to life. I truly never became the “bridezilla” most brides become due to the immense assistance to make our beautiful day become a reality. On the day of our wedding, the JCE team worked seamlessly with the vendors at our venue and went above and beyond to have the best wedding the venue had ever seen. For me, trust and honesty are components of a relationship that is sustainable and Jenna and her team became our family and more. Her team remained transparent through the entire year and a half and took initiative to get to know my husband and I. We are sad that our relationship for wedding planning has come to an end, however, we are elated to have the JCE team our family, and lifelong partner for any other parties or events we desire to have. 10/10 recommend Jenna and her team!

Jenna & Team we’re with every penny! As a type A bride I was able to relax and enjoy the entire day and the weeks leading up we’re stress free. We had to move our wedding twice with Covid and Jenna was there all three years to help us navigate the changes. Highly recommend!!!!

My husband and I worked with Jenna Culley Events for our Wedding. Amazing team to work with throughout the wedding planning process. Great communication and extremely experienced team. Heidi was our Lead Planner and she did an amazing job of bringing our day to life, and we know there were many other team members behind the scenes that work hard to make our day what it was. We really appreciated the attention to detail and knew our planning was in good hands. Would highly recommend working with this team!

Jenna was recommended to us by friends who said she did a fantastic job for them. How right they were! She was a godsend. She found the photographer, videographer, florist, tent rental company, invitation designer and linen supplier, and coordinated them all so that everything went flawlessly. All along the way, she was a source of calm, and she made many wise suggestions. She took on multiple additional tasks that I had initially thought I could handle myself. When plans had to be drastically changed two days before the wedding she somehow managed to save the day. She was fun to work with, and always a reassuring presence. The wedding was perfect in every way, and we never could have done it without Jenna.

I would highly recommend choosing Jenna Culley Events. I worked with Jenna and Betsey -- who were both lovely to work with and very creative + supportive from day 1 to any need or idea as it came up planning for our wedding. Betsey in particular went above and beyond -- making sure that every detail was followed up with and executed well across the many moving pieces / vendors.

Heidi was absolutely fantastic!! She was such a pleasure to work with. There were no curve balls thrown at her that she couldn't handle. We originally had our wedding date set for January first and my husband ended up getting covid 3 days before the wedding. We had to completely reschedule everything! Heidi just rolled with the punches and made the whole planning process just as smooth the second time around. We couldn't have done it without her. She even helped us coordinate a gender reveal at our reception to make the day even more special!! Seriously, 10 out of 10 service!!!!!

When we were laying on the beach on our honeymoon, we talked about the biggest takeaways and pieces of advice we’re going to tell our friends who are getting married the next few years. Number one on that list was working with Jenna Culley Events. From the start, our planner Betsey Palmgren was an absolute superstar. She was extremely organized, thoroughly communicated with vendors and kept all the planning on track when we completed a cross-country move in the middle of a wedding year to California. And that was all before the big event. On our actual wedding day, Betsey and her team were incredibly punctual, helpful and organized. Everything we planned was executed to perfection. Oh, and they’re wonderful people -- which makes the whole experience a 12/10. Seriously, we can’t recommend Jenna Culley Events (and Betsey!) enough.

Jenna Culley Events is absolutely top-notch. If within your budget during wedding planning, I wholeheartedly believe that a wedding planner and day of coordination services through JCE is the best decision you can make (besides getting married, of course!). After my initial consultation with Jenna, I could feel the excitement and passion she had for her business and the wedding industry. At the time, the services did not align with my budget, and we selected another planner. After a sub-par experience with that different planner, I outreached Jenna again, who had remembered our conversation and offered another free consultation- I was floored! We compromised on portions of our budget and started our journey with JCE and we could not be happier that we did. After selecting a package with partial planning and day of coordinating services, we were then connected to our lead planner, Heidi, who is phenomenal! Jenna and Heidi helped to curate beautiful design ideas, connect us to reputable vendors, and got us set-up on their wedding planning software, Aisle Planner (which provided tools to stay organized). Heidi managed all of the communication with our selected vendors and even created 3 different timelines for our big day- a family timeline, a groom/groomsmen timeline, and a bride/bridesmaids timeline. Our wedding was everything we could have hoped for and we owe a lot of credit to Heidi and the JCE team. If you are looking for kind, passionate, and effective event planning, look no further than Jenna Culley Events!

I hired Jenna to help me plan a large bridal shower I recently hosted. She was absolutely amazing to work with and was value-added in every way. She’s creative, calm, has a spectacular cadre of vendors and is just a joy to work with. I will work with her again - no question!

-- Re: Jenna and team -- They were quite literally the BEST ever!!! I have absolutely no idea what I would have done without the expertise and experience-driven support ... truly outstanding. Jenna knows what the heck she is doing, and it gave me SO much peace of mind knowing I could trust that and count on her to drive things day-of so I (and family) could just relax and enjoy the day. The train of my dress ripped when we arrived at our reception venue, and Jenna was right there with the sewing kit she had on-hand to fix it. Her and Betsy really thought of everything, and came prepared for anything. It was evident that my(bride) / groom / family’s wedding-day experience was Jenna and team’s priority..that meant so much to me, and was all I had ever hoped and dreamed of! There are no words for how much I and my entire family appreciated it - I would recommend Jenna Culley Events to infinity and beyond!! BRIDES: You want it. You need it. ...and if you do, you'll be left wondering what you EVER would have done without her. You will be in the BEST hands, and will be left feeling so supported and special on your most important/happiest day - that is what you deserve!

We worked with Jenna and Heidi from Jenna Culley Events, and from our initial consulting call to the very end of our reception, working with the JCE team was amazing. My husband and I had a shorter engagement, and both of us were incredibly busy with work during the majority of that time. We wouldn't have been able to pull off our wedding without JCE! Working with Heidi made our wedding planning process and the wedding day itself so smooth. We are incredibly grateful for and appreciative of Heidi, Jenna, and the JCE team.

Jenna, Betsey and their whole team were the absolute best! We decided we needed planners fairly last minute, but they were more than willing to take on the challenge and did a fantastic job. They were organized, responsive and a joy to work with. We couldn't have done it without them and are so grateful for their help!

I cannot say enough good things about our wedding coordinator Heidi and Jenna Culley events. About two months before our wedding this past summer we were notified the coordinator we had been working with left the company. Heidi stepped in and did an amazing job of communicating with us and our vendors to make sure she was up to speed. Despite stepping in somewhat last minute, Heidi was organized, efficient, and extremely helpful. It is not an exaggeration to say that our day went off without any issues largely due to Heidi's (and her teams) efforts. I would recommend Jenna Culley Events to anyone getting married in the Minnesota area and if you do, ask for Heidi.

My husband and I loved working with Betsey and the team at Jenna Culley Events to create the perfect design and ambiance for our wedding. Betsey was super responsive, and her organization skills are top notch! She really helped our day run as smoothly as possible. I'd definitely recommend working with her!

Jenna and Betsey were truly unbelievable in helping our wedding be the best it could possibly be. From months away to day of, they were with us every step of the way and helped us navigate the entire process. Our entire wedding had to be planned remotely so we completely relied on Jenna and Betsey to take care of just about every detail of the wedding and they more than exceeded our expectations. They have our absolute highest recommendation as they handled everything we threw their way quickly and professionally. They made our wedding feel like the number one priority and it made our day absolutely seamless!

Jenna and her team were absolutely awesome! We planned our wedding from out of state and truly could not have done it without Jenna. Initially we didn’t think we needed a Planner, but now having been through the experience, it was the BEST decision we made and was worth every penny. Jenna and her team were always professional and responsive - their attention to detail is unmatched. They went above and beyond to work around the limited planning time we had travelling in from out of state - even going to a second food tasting in our place when we couldn’t make a trip up in the middle of the week. Every recommendation that Jenna made as far as vendors was perfect, and we couldn’t have been happier! Jenna truly made the planning experience as stress-free as possible and thought of absolutely everything. We loved working with Jenna and team and would highly recommend them to anyone!!

Jenna did an amazing job with the day of coordination for my wedding. I felt like the day ran smoothly and I did not have to stress about anything, and neither did any of our guests. We were able to truly focus on the day and enjoying ourselves. If you want to feel confident that your wedding will be executed according to your vision without actually having to deal with the stresses of putting it all together on the day of, hire Jenna for your day!

Jenna and her team were great! They really shined the weekend of the wedding, taking care of all of the small last minute details, coordinating the rehearsal and day-of activities and making sure my wife and I didn’t have to worry about anything other than remembering our vows! Leading up to the wedding, they helped us understand timelines and when decisions needed to be made, helped us find vendors and did a lot of that coordination, and had good communication in terms of frequency and mode. All in all, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Jenna to anyone looking to hire a wedding planner!

Debbie and I had a beautiful, romantic, loving event. Our relatives and friends have all said it was the finest party they have ever attended. There was a lot to organize, especially during Covid, with multiple delays, vendors failing, hair on fire, etc. Nevertheless, our wedding unfolded like a rare flower. The many fine vendors that Jenna organized for us performed in exemplary fashion, especially The Loring String Quartet, who provided just the right musical touch for the perfect venue at The University Club. We could not have been more pleased with how Jenna and crew brought everything together, up to and through the very last minute of our celebration. Take a look at the photos and you will see what I mean: we experienced a moment of true charm. Our highest encomium to the entire team.

My husband and I enjoyed working with Jenna Culley Events for our wedding. From the first phone call that we had I knew we would be getting a high quality experience by hiring them for a day of coordinator. We were paired with a coordinator and had our first meeting to go over any questions and walk through the days details. A couple weeks before the wedding we got an update that our coordinator had a family emergency and would no longer be available for our wedding day. However, they did not leave us hanging, they made sure we were still covered and ensured us we will be taken care of. A week before the wedding we meet with our new coordinator, Betsy. She listened to our plans and details, and helped walk us through all the major and minor details of what her role is in our wedding day. The day of rehearsal, Betsy was on time and professional in helping our wedding party run through the ceremony. The day of the wedding Betsy took care of connecting with all the vendors we hired, taking care of the details we talked about and leading the day according to our timeline. She ensured me and made me feel comfortable that everything was being taken care of, I had no worries but to enjoy our special day. I would highly recommend Jenna Culley Events and their coordinator Betsy, all the work they put in was well worth it when we reflected back afterwards.

Jenna was very invaluable on helping navigate all the different complexities and logistics of the wedding. She was knowledgeable about the vendors, timing and had great ideas on how to manage the flow of the evening. Thankful for her guidance.

We had the most beautiful, perfect, and smooth wedding. In short, I cannot recommend Jenna Culley Events (JCE) enough. I would choose JCE over and over again and would recommend to my friends and family. We chose to use JCE's partial planning service. The team at JCE worked hard to turn our 8 month engagement into a stress-free time. Their comprehensive planning efforts and professionalism shine through. First, the comprehensive online planning tool that JCE uses is amazing and covers EVERYTHING. The planners are responsive, caring, and helpful. Even all of the other vendors we worked with noted how much they love working with JCE. I wish I could write more, but my review is already lengthy. If you need a wedding planner, look no further.

I have been working with Jenna Culley and her team for many months leading up to my wedding day this past weekend . I knew from the very start, this was the best decision to book them for my wedding planning. I worked closely with Betsey during the process and she is OUTSTANDING. From small questions to big questions , she knew it all. Fast forward to our big day, her and her team made it so seamless. It went perfectly all because of them! If you’re looking for a wedding planner- HIRE THEM!

All I can say is WOW! Jenna and her team were so organized and on top of things I cannot say enough good things about them. They took away all the stress of my wedding weekend and I felt relaxed knowing that everything was being taken care of and the day running so smoothly. Each of my other vendors commented to me about how great it was to work with them and how they also made their jobs easier. Would highly recommend to anyone and would love to use Jenna Culley Events again in the future!

Jenna is AMAZING!! HIRE HER... THAT'S ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW. Out of all the vendors to choose from, I was positive I wanted a coordinator to help me coordinate all the wedding details before my big day and most importantly on it. Thank the lord I found Jenna. Especially thankful to have her during a global pandemic... I repeated this almost daily. It was my 2020 mantra! Not only does she do her job well--- but, she was a kind soul to lean on during the ups and downs fo this year. It was touch and go in the beginning and she consouled and advised us at every cross road. Jenna Culley Events was the most important role of our day ( aside from the officant). My husband agreed after our wedding that Jenna and her assistant Liz was worth every penny and more. This was a huge compliment from my husband who didn't think we needed to hire a coordinator prior to finding Jenna-- after, he saw how much value there was in having a support system to streamline our day. Jenna allowed us to be fully present at our wedding and we enjoyed every moment of the day because of her. Im forever greatful-- Additonally, shes super sweet and down to earth. I entrusted her to shine in her creative ways with my decor and gave her the freedome to do what she thought best. I'm happy I did, she decorated our venue beautifully and better than I would have. Advice for future brides-- let go and trust your vendors. They are EXPERTS and you'll be happy at the end of the day. I had so much peace when I let go and It's because Jenna was 110% behind me all the way. Also, her husband is a rockstar who helped on the day of and he definily was a nice addition too. We had many complimants from guests about Jenna and her two assistants. ;D THNAK YOU JENNA!! xx Love, THE MASONS

We got married at the Lafayette club in the fall of 2018 in an outdoor ceremony. Jenna and her assistant were amazing. She anticipated my every need. She went above and beyond for so many helpful tasks including bringing me a more comfortable pair of shoes for the reception and had them ready for me when pictures were finished after the ceremony. She coordinated with all my vendors to make sure everything was set up, including the musicians and the lighting/DJ. I can’t imagine the stress of that I would’ve had if I had to manage all that myself. I couldn’t avast for a better wedding coordinator than Jenna Culley Events.

As the owner of another wedding company in town, I'm writing from that perspective. Jenna is wonderful to work with. She loves what she does and greets events and people with a smile and energy. Whenever we've worked alongside her, we receive all the detailed information we need in a timely manor and everything is well organized. Highly recommend!

Jenna and her team were so incredibly helpful. Planning a wedding is so much work, we were so grateful to have Jenna to rely on to help us truly think through all of the details and bring our day to life ESPECIALLY through covid re-planning where we had to revert our wedding plans from a large downtown ceremony to a small intimate backyard ceremony. She was so flexible and key to navigating all of our vendor relationships with our demanding work schedules throughout the planning process. I gave her the general idea of what we wanted and her and her team really brought everything to life better than I could have asked for! We were so grateful for her organization, attention to detail, and over all "we can find a solve for this!" attitude from beginning planning to our wedding day! On our wedding day, she left a sweet surprise of champagne and toasting glasses for us, because of all of the things - we forgot about champagne! But not Jenna!! Jenna FTW!

Jenna is simply wonderful. I was a COVID bride and I was so thankful to have her walking through all the uncertainty with me. She stayed up to date on all the changes as they happened and communicated with me regularly. Jenna was a source of encouragement when I was disappointed or frustrated and she always had a new idea to help us towards our dream. Ultimately I had to cancel my big wedding and replace with an outdoor micro ceremony. Jenna was kind and accommodating the whole time. On my original wedding date she showed up at my front door with a beautiful flower arrangement, a gesture I won't soon forget. If you're a bride planning a wedding I highly recommend working with Jenna. You don't know what unexpected situation will pop up while you're planning. I certainly wasn't expecting a worldwide pandemic! You'll be glad that Jenna was on your team, I definitely was.

ABOVE AND BEYOND. As a bride, I can't say enough about how wonderful Jenna was to work with. She is so good her service actually ended up paying for itself. My husband and I were married during a 5 day cruise in the Caribbean and held a separate reception for about 190 guests in Minneapolis the day after the cruise. We needed someone we could seriously trust because we would be traveling and cruising the week leading up to the wedding reception. Not only that, but we live in California, so most of the planning was done over the phone. The one time we did come to town to meet with her, she literally DROVE US to all of our vendor meetings so we wouldn't have to rent a car or Uber. She sat through all of our vendor meetings to make sure the right questions were asked and that we got exactly what we wanted in style and pricing. Also being out of town there were items we needed shipped to Minneapolis but didn't have a place to send or store them. She let us ship multiple packages to her home. She unboxed, assembled, and brought them to our venue for set up when the time came...at no extra charge. She thinks of every little detail- all of the things that you as a bride don't think of. I honestly could not (lol and don't want to) imagine what our day would have been like without her. It was absolutely seamless! It allowed me to be a guest at my own wedding and not have to worry about the flow of the night or any little detail, but simply enjoy the party! She took care of emailing and communication with our vendors and was able to negotiate pricing with MULTIPLE VENDORS. The amount of money she saved us in the end actually would have payed for her service. On top of that, she worked with us on pricing to fit our budget and was never pushy or made us feel like anything but family. She was prompt with getting back to us and very clear on communication. As far as pulling my vision together for the look of the venue, all I will say is that I am a perfectionist and so, so, so detail oriented. I could not have been more pleased. We could not have found a better planner. THANK YOU Jenna!!!!!!

Our wedding day was beyond amazing all thanks to Jenna. She is so hardworking and has such attention to detail. She also helped navigate us through issues with our venue, always representing our best interest. Hiring Jenna was the best decision we made and I cannot speak highly enough of her.

I hired Jenna A Events for planning assistance and day of coordination. Overall, I was very happy with my decision to do so. Jenna has such an upbeat and positive attitude. She is so down to earth and friendly, making me, my husband and family feel really comfortable working with her. When I had questions throughout the planning process, she always had helpful advice. She provided some great referrals for several other vendors I worked with as well. The thing I probably valued the most working with Jenna, was having her handle all of the wedding day setup. Jenna and the florist did an amazing job bringing to life my vision. It turned out better than I ever imagined! And it was so nice that we could drop off our décor with her a few days before the wedding and not worry about any setup on our big day. There were a couple of hiccups on our wedding day, which everyone tells you will happen. It's hard for me to say whether or not those issues would have happened with another planner. Maybe there would have been more, maybe there would have been less. But Jenna took care of any issues that came up with as little involvement of my husband and I as possible so that we could enjoy our day free of stress. I feel that Jenna A Events was worth the investment. I’m sure that both the planning and day of coordination would have been overwhelming for me and not nearly as well executed without Jenna’s help!

As a full time event planner I didn’t think I’d ever need someone to help plan our wedding and I was wrong. While other brides are stressing the week and day of there wedding I was extremely calm knowing Jenna had it all covered. She was in touch with all of my vendors and was their to troubleshoot if anything came up. Thank you Jenna for letting us enjoy the experience instead of worrying about the details.

Jenna Culley Events was a fabulous partner for planning my daughter’s wedding. Jenna listened to my daughter’s vision for the wedding and used her in-depth knowledge of vendors that could best deliver the look and feel we wanted. She kept our budget in mind and was a great guide and expert through all of the decisions that needed to be made. She helped us lay out a highlevel timeline so we knew what needed to done when. She helped with all of the details at the reception venue and worked around my daughter’s travel schedule (she lived in another state) so that all tastings and in-person meetings could be scheduled when she was in town. She went with us to the rental companies and helped make sure we ordered what was needed and not too much or too little. She also kept track of everything, so we didn’t have to worry about having anything missing on the big day. And she took care of all of the adjustments needed for food and rentals as the rsvp numbers were finalized. She provided great guidance on what needed to be done when, helping us to prioritize and use our time wisely when my daughter was in town. The day of the wedding, she worked with the church and the reception venue to make sure everything was where it needed to be on time and that all set up was happening the way we planned it. When I arrived at the reception, I could see that Jenna had delivered exactly what my daughter was dreaming of. Everything was beautiful and it was exactly the look and feel my daughter wanted. She and her team were there all day and that made it easy for us to take in and enjoy the day without having to be worried about any of the details. Everything was smooth and on time. We could savor the day and celebrate with our friends and family. It was a perfect day.

Working with Jenna was the BEST thing we could have done. Her services were actually a gift to us from my mother-in-law. I didn't really want a wedding coordinator, but since she was a gift, we used her. She really proved her worth, though, and made everything run as smoothly as possible. Before the wedding day she was in contact with our church, our reception venue, and all of our vendors, and she made sure we had a master schedule with all of their details and contact information. And then, the wedding day itself couldn't have gone more smoothly. Jenna was on top of everything from the beginning. For example, our reception venue messed up and put the wrong number of chairs at each table, which would have totally thrown off our seating chart. Thankfully Jenna was there and made sure it all got fixed, so we didn't even know about it until after the day was over. She ordered and picked up sandwiches to make sure we ate something before the ceremony, and she even picked up a last minute print order we had. Then there was a change with the bakery and they wouldn't deliver the dessert, so she took care of that, too. At the ceremony, she helped us manage our time and cued everyone in appropriately. Later at the reception, while we were busy dancing and chatting with family, she got everything gathered together for us to take at the end of the night. She made it so simple! I truly, honestly can't say enough good things about Jenna and her event planning. I was blown away by her skill, professionalism, and positive energy, and am forever grateful to her for helping our day be the most perfect it could have been. Thank you, thank you, thank you Jenna!

From our first meeting, we knew that Jenna would be a great fit. She is friendly, professional, and organized. One of her greatest strengths was listening to what we wanted, picking up on our sense of style, and recommending amazing vendors who made it all happen for a great price. She translated our dreams into a reality. Jenna was always available to answer our questions and also knew what decisions to prioritize. Although I was very busy with work and living in a different city, she managed to take most of the stress out of the wedding planning process. And we loved that Jenna offers customizable planning packages. For instance, while I felt comfortable picking photographers, I knew I could rely on Jenna’s expertise when it came to other vendors. We also asked Jenna to coordinate day of and were so thankful we did. Jenna, and her assistant Erin, made sure every detail came together so that we could focus on enjoying our day. She has such a light touch, it truly felt like magic! We could not recommend Jenna and Jenna Culley Events more!

We engaged Jenna Culley Events to manage my son’s “day of" wedding tasks and were thrilled with the results. Jenna handled all of the details, big and small, seamlessly, and with a professional but caring attitude not easily found today. She was instrumental in ensuring that my son and daughter-in-law had a flawless, fairy tale ceremony and reception and I wouldn’t hesitate to hire Jenna Culley Events over and over again.
