Jenna Culley Events

d us with Liz, who was the perfect fit for us. Liz was there with us every step of the way, and in turn paired us with amazing vendors and helped us execute a day that felt truly flawless and was absolutely beautiful. My husband and I felt no anxiety the day of our wedding both because of how well Liz and JCE handled planning it, and because of their overall demeanor when it comes to interacting with their clients. I couldn’t recommend this company more. Thank you Liz and JCE for making our wedding a day that we will cherish for the rest of our lives.

e 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 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!

l, 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!

cs, 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!

. 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. :)

, 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!

d making sure we were happy the entire way through. We could not recommend them more!

ed, 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!!

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!!!!

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!

the changes. Highly recommend!!!!

ringing 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!

nated 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.

r went above and beyond -- making sure that every detail was followed up with and executed well across the many moving pieces / vendors.

e 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!!!!!

ts. 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.

, 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!

work with her again - no question!

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!

usy 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.

th. We couldn't have done it without them and are so grateful for their help!

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.

moothly as possible. I'd definitely recommend working with her!
