Jenna Culley Events

y dedicated team to thank for bringing every detail of our vision to life - Our Golden Hour.   From the very beginning, they understood that our wedding was more than a beautiful event. It was the coming together of two rich cultures, Italian and Persian, and three families, each with their own traditions, histories, and cherished moments. They approached every element with an extraordinary level of thoughtfulness, sophistication, and care.  Calls were answered or promptly returned — even on evenings and weekends. No question was too small, no detail too insignificant, and we always felt completely supported.   Our day began with a beautiful, blessed church ceremony, followed by an elegant and deeply meaningful Persian Sofreh Aghd ceremony. It was their very first Sofreh Aghd — and you would never have known it. They immersed themselves in the tradition, understood the significance of every detail, and brought it to life with such grace, beauty, and authenticity. It felt completely bespoke to us. From there, guests were welcomed into two stunning happy hour areas before entering our dream reception at the Four Seasons — transformed with the most breathtaking florals and exquisite details. Every space felt intentional, elevated, and uniquely ours.  Our “Golden Hour” was captured to perfection.  No stone was left unturned. Not one detail was overlooked. Every transition was seamless. Every element was intentional. Every detail — from the grandest design moments to the smallest finishing touches — was flawlessly executed. The result was not simply a beautiful wedding, but a completely immersive experience for everyone fortunate enough to be there.  Again our Golden Hour.   Our guests truly had the experience of a lifetime. They felt the beauty of both cultures, the warmth of our families, and the joy of our celebration in every moment. And perhaps most importantly, we got to be fully present as bride and groom. We never had to worry about what was happening behind the scenes. We could simply look around, take it all in, dance, laugh, celebrate, and savor every extraordinary moment of the wedding we had always dreamed of. Jenna Culley and her team brought together two cultures, three families, and one unforgettable celebration with a level of elegance, precision, and artistry that exceeded anything we could have imagined. It was sophisticated. It was seamless. It was breathtaking. It was deeply personal. And it was, quite simply, our dream wedding — executed flawlessly. We will forever be grateful for the incredible talent, dedication, and passion that went into creating the most beautiful beginning to our life together. ✨🤍 Azita and Luigi Bernardi 

I paid over $10,000 for full service wedding planning and unfortunately, I do not feel that I received anything close to full planning services. The list of services I expected to receive but ultimately had to handle myself is far too long to include in one review. About halfway through the planning process, I had a meeting with the owner specifically to address how unhappy I was with the experience. At that point, I expressed that my biggest concern was that things would continue to get worse as we got closer to the wedding. Unfortunately, that is exactly what happened. Despite raising my concerns directly with the owner, there was no meaningful follow up later in the planning process to ensure things had improved. Throughout planning thereafter, there were passive aggressive remarks during meetings, poor communication that repeatedly resulted in me having to step in and do the work myself, and interactions that made me feel talked down to rather than supported. At one point, I even had to email my planner after a vendor call to explain that I did not appreciate the way I was spoken to and that, moving forward, I expected she advocate for me rather than make me feel uncomfortable in conversations with my own vendors. In addition, I was shocked when I brought up the fact that there were no cadence of scheduled phone or video calls throughout the entire planning process, to which they said was not necessary? There was very very little proactive email exchanging; all tasks, questions, ideas, vendor meetings, were initiated by me. What was perhaps even more validating and upsetting was that I was not the only person who noticed the issues. Other vendors independently commented to me about my planner’s professionalism and told me that certain interactions with her made them uncomfortable. As a bride, the last thing I should have been worrying about was whether my planner was creating tension with the other professionals to make our wedding day successful. I was a bride in my mid 20s with a very clear vision: a timeless, elegant lakeside wedding. I hired a full service planner because I wanted someone who could understand that vision, refine it, advocate for it, and take the stress of planning off my shoulders. Instead, I was the one driving the process, following up, solving problems, and making sure things actually got done. I understand that no wedding or planning process is going to be completely perfect and I NEVER expected perfection. What I did expect, especially at this price point and for a service marketed as full planning, was professionalism, communication, attention to detail, advocacy, and a planner who made the process easier, not harder. These are only very few examples of the issues I experienced throughout the planning process. Ultimately, I walked away feeling that the level of service I received did not come close to justifying what I paid. Wedding planning is such a personal experience, and choosing a planner requires an enormous amount of trust. Based on my experience, I unfortunately would not recommend Jenna Cully Events for full service wedding planning. I'm not sure if I've ever written a poor review on anything before, which sadly speaks to how disappointed I feel. I don’t want another bride to have the same experience I did.

hing isn’t right, they will make it exactly the way you want it. They are with you every step of the way, through thick and thin. My team of planners started with me when I had almost no concrete ideas and stayed with me all the way to the last song…and even getting wine out of my wedding dress. They are a full-service team who quickly begin to feel like family. Communication is quick, kind, and incredibly helpful. You can tell that the entire JCE team wants everything to be exactly as it should be. During wedding week, my planner, Sara, and I were completely ready to rock and roll, and on the day-of she had every single detail handled. My only job was to be the bride, and Sara and her team took care of everything in sight—right down to having a drink ready for me the moment I walked in. They checked in not only on me, but also on my husband, my bridal party, my family, and even our other vendors. They truly are a super-team, and they made the day absolutely wonderful. I honestly wanted to take them all home with me! There are not enough words to describe how phenomenal the JCE team is. If you are looking for a wedding planner who will make your day stress-free, fun, seamless, and filled with support—as well as someone who becomes your personal cheerleader—this is the team you’re looking for. You will not regret it.
