Jenni Grubba Events

Jenni truly is an amazing person and wedding planner! We are east coast based and worked with Jenni remotely while she planned our June 2023 California wedding which included 3 events, each with a different vibe and she nailed them all. Right from the beginning it was clear that Jenni is organized, creative, energetic and infectiously positive. She has great relationships with tons of venues and vendors and brought together an amazing team to support our wedding weekend. These relationships were tested and showed their strength when our original venue flooded 6 months before our wedding date. Jenni immediately calmed our nerves and was a badass replanning our ceremony and reception for a new venue, keeping all of our original vendors on board. We cannot imagine what our wedding would have been without Jenni and cannot stop singing her praises and recommending her. If you are planning a wedding, do yourself a favor and let Jenni plan a perfect wedding for you!

Jenni from start to finish was amazing to work with. Up until the wedding day, I had trust in Jenni and really felt no stress. The wedding turned out better than my wildest dreams. Jenni and Taylor were able to make my dream wedding come true and make it the most magical day. Jenni was very easy to work with a and was able to work with everyone involved (my now husband, my parents and myself). Not only is Jenni an amazing planner, but she has a list of vendors that are amazing. Everyone I spoke to and those I ended choosing were profession and the best. I even had a guest come up to me at the wedding to ask for Jenni's contact information. I would recommend Jenni Grubba Events to anyone looking for a wonderful, easy to work with, events specialist to make your dream event come true.

Jenni worked with us for several years planning our wedding, originally disrupted by the pandemic, so we have unusually deep experience with her. She exceeded our expectations in every way. The team of vendors and relationships that she has curated highlight her ability to create a collaborative and joy-filled environment. This was especially important because our wedding was a full weekend of glamping on our mendocino property- she handled everything from coordinating arrivals of 140 people on a one-way driveway, three days of catering and several musical acts. Jenni always kept an upbeat attitude, behaved professionally and completely handled all details. Neither my husband nor I had to address anything during the weekend. I am hopeful I can work with Jenni again on a celebratory event with all of our friends.

It has taken me a while to write a review for Jenni because I am having the hard time to find the words to express how INCREDIBLE Jenni was not only as a planner, but as a friend, throughout the entire wedding planning process. I am truly SO grateful to have worked with Jenni for my wedding. She was organized, helpful and creative throughout the planning process. I can be indecisive and I really appreciated that Jenni was honest and open with me and helped me stay focused to make decisions. Jenni also designed my wedding, which I would do over and over again. Not only does she have an incredible taste level, but she knows exactly how to make a wedding unique and special, which is exactly what I told her I wanted when we started working together. Even months after my wedding, I still hear from friends & family how unique and beautiful my wedding was and I owe it all to Jenni. I was told by peers to be ready for something unexpected to happen on my wedding day, but not with Jenni! Everything on the wedding day was seamless and smooth! Even when my strap on my dress unexpectedly broke, Jenni was there to sew it right back on (she even secured the other strap to make sure it didn’t happen again!). She kept me calm and collected throughout the entire day! I also want to shout out Taylor, Jenni’s assistant, who is just as wonderful as Jenni. The two of them are a dynamic duo and I am so lucky to have worked with them! I would 1000x work with Jenni again and recommend her to anyone & everyone I know! Thank you to Jenni and her incredible team for making my dream wedding come true!! <3

Jenni planned our wedding(s) over the 2020-2021 wedding season. We originally picked Jenni as our planner because hers was the only planner screening conversation where we hung up the phone feeling more relaxed. She stuck with us through a wild wedding season -- our original date was in October 2020, and around May 2020, we made the call to shift the date to October 2021. No problem - Jenni handled it all seamlessly. I think all told Jenni actually planned 3 weddings for us (only 1.5 of which ended happening). She also served as an emotional pillar over a period of pandemic time and a set of decisions (postponements, don't invite grandma) that kinda sucked. Her strengths: grace under pressure, good vibes, "look and feel" that aligned with our own aesthetics, and vendor curation that both aligned with our vision as well as gave us some creative new ideas. Her team is so incredible; we've since referred them to our friends. It was very important to us to have a wedding that shared what we loved about San Francisco and California with our guests, and she did that exceptionally well. We strongly recommend her to you. You won't regret the decision.

Jenni is a true professional and handled herself and her team of vendors with ease and grace. We'd LOVE to have her back at any of our Distinct Locations! She is an exceptional talent and her b&g's vision for their day was spot on and incredibly beautiful!

Jenni and her team were very professional and took care of everything from start to finish. All our guests raved about the ceremony and the reception that followed. We would recommend her services very highly.

Jenni was over the top exceptional. She was our wedding planner for our son and now Daughter-In-Laws wedding. Jenni was so thorough and helpful all the way up to the wedding including the day after. Upon her arrival at the wedding site several days before she was like our angel. She remembered and brought to our attention absolutely everything that made our wedding perfect. As the mother and father of the groom we were worry free and enjoyed our weekend with guests because of Jenni. We would highly recommend her.

What can we even say about Jenni? We got engaged while living in MA and before we even knew we'd be moving to the west coast, we decided we wanted to get married in Cal's neck of the woods, in the Bay Area. Jenni gave us such peace of mind planning our wedding from across the country. She also took the unique challenges of our venue and completely made it all work seamlessly. After giving Jenni our design board, we kinda just said, "go for it!" and boy, are we so glad we did. Jenni took our vision and made it come to life in a way we could never have imagined or done ourselves. We're so so happy we went with Jenni and her team. We had the best day of our lives!

For planning: Jenni was nice and accommodating in setting up the first meeting. We felt like she understood the vibe & style we were going for. She helped us figure out what we needed to book and had recommendations that we used and loved. We decided to postpone the wedding due to COVID-19, and she took care of rebooking/rescheduling literally everything. At times she wasn't super responsive but that is understandable given how busy everything got and nothing was missed or dropped - only our stress was impacted. In the final few months leading up to the wedding, we felt like she made us a priority and held our hand through food choice, seating charts, and preparation for the big day. She took care of so much behind-the-scenes that we don't even know everything. She coordinated with the vendors and handled signage. For day-of: Jenni was the absolute best! She made sure all the vendors were where they were supposed to be and made sure everything was ready on time. She knew the perfect pacing throughout the day and moved things along smoothly - our friends said it was the best-paced wedding they'd been to. The guests also stated that they knew her and other vendors were there but never made their presence known enough to disrupt from all the attention being on us. She helped fine-tune things when we asked her to adjust things as we saw them; for example, we had a bridesman get COVID the morning of the wedding so she helped fix the seating, notify catering, and coordinate with the DJ. Every wedding isn't without its problems, and for us, the bride's dress's zipper was broken before even putting it on. Jenni helped calm her down and made sure it looked okay for the ceremony. Before the reception, she already had a needle and white thread on hand and spent 20 minutes (and many holes in her fingers) sewing her dress together. We had a lot of fun at our wedding and enjoyed ourselves, which we've heard is uncommon, and owe that to Jenni.

Wedding Planner of Dreams! Look know further than Jenni Grubba for your wedding planning needs. Why? Because she takes it to the next level. As a bride who had a Pinterest board, but hadn't been planning her wedding her whole life, Jenni took what I gave her and turned it into something beyond what I'd ever imagined. She's incredibly responsive, has an incredible team behind her and amazing connections in the industry. We had a few ups and downs during the planning process with other vendors, and her calmness really helped me relax. Our wedding turned out perfectly at the Fairmont, and I couldn't have asked for a better woman to execute an amazing day!

GO NO FURTHER!!!! Aquire Jenni’s services (if you are fortunate enough to be able to choose a date that works with her schedule). Look, as the father of the bride, I must tell you that I have been around the block a few times. Never, NEVER have I had the privelge of working with a person who brings to the table, 3 of the most important traits I look for in my own executive teams I have assembled over my career. They are PASSION for what she does, EMPATHY (she gets you and works tirelessly works to fufill YOUR vision and dreams) and EXPERTISE (she CLEARLY knows what she is doing, is AMAZINGLY well connected to vendors i.e. photographers, florists, hoteliers, videographers, make-up artists etc.,). I interviewed many extremely high-priced planners (some as high as 60K) some who were featured in the preeminent wedding/bride magazines and let me tell you….they made it all about them. Jenni will make it all about YOU! She is a brilliant artist who is unsurpassed at what she does. You only have one shot to get your son/daughter’s special wedding day right. Choosing the right planner is the most important decision you will make. Take a no-brainer first step and retain Jenni!

Jenni did a wonderful job planning our wedding. She is a real expert - she has tons of contacts in the industry and got us connected with a photographer and band, she works with a floral expert, and she has been through everything so nothing got her flustered or stressed out. We also had Jenni help with the rest of the weekend and gift bag stuffing, which took things off our plate. Jenni has a strong sense of design (which we don’t) and was very helpful at creating the right color palette and design aesthetic, which translated perfectly at the venue. We LOVE the way she brought in the absolute perfect decor, furniture, floral and other accents to exactly match our style and expectations. Everything went perfectly and I didn’t have to think about a thing during my wedding. I am a type A personality and was a very organized and hyper-attentive-to-details bride, and Jenni handled me with great when I got anxious. As mentioned, she’s truly an expert and stays cool, calm and collected no matter what.

Jenni is a wedding ninja. On the day of, she was simultaneously everywhere and nowhere, making sure everything happened that was supposed to, on time, with no fuss. Her eye for decor is amazing; I had just the vaguest 'design inspiration' (avoid disposable flowers, go for greenery, potted plants, and succulents) which she turned into a beautiful and unconventional reality (primeval-looking green ferny bouquets, xeriscapey terracotta cacti and potted exotic flowers for the tables, a cake that looked like an olive tree was growing from inside it). Also, leading up to the wedding she communicated very clearly and was very accessible via text and email, and incorporated last-minute changes and requests without batting an eye. It's very clear that she's a seasoned professional, and if we had to do it again we would definitely hire Jenni. Highly recommended.

How do we even start...we first reached out to Jenni two years ago to help us plan our wedding and never looked back. She started as our planner but very much became our friend and anchor through the good times and the hard ones. Through planning our initial wedding originally set for September 2020, helping us through the tough decision to postpone, managing every aspect of our change of plans without a hitch, and following through on every single detail to the finish line in September 2021 - she was a dream to work with and truly the very best person to have on our side through it all. We got married in a family friends' backyard which required that everything - every place setting, each table and chair, the bar, the dance floor, a massive tent and more - had to be accounted for. Jenni didn't miss a single detail, big or small, and made it look easy and most of all beautiful. She brought the vision that had been in our minds for 2 years come to life with a smile on her face and a calm, professional and can-do demeanor - just the sort of person you'd want to be there for you leading up to and on your wedding day. She is a true expert at what she does and we have loved becoming friends with this exceptional human and wedding planner. Our wedding was magical and so are you. Thank you, Jenni - we are forever grateful!

Jenni Grubba Events helped my daughter and new son-in-law have the wedding of their dreams! Jenni was utterly fantastic in every way. She coordinated all aspects of this destination wedding, oversaw and created the gorgeous setting and atmosphere and was unfailingly helpful, resourceful, and gracious while remaining simultaneously hip, gracious, and organized.

We are Jenni's biggest fans. She planned us the most perfect wedding and every detail totally blew us away. After postponing our wedding due to Covid, Jenni was a calming and supportive presence despite the uncertainty. She kept our spirits high throughout the process and made us feel at ease. When our day finally arrived, it was more than we ever could have imagined. Jenni completely knocked it out of the park. We're convinced it was the best party that's ever been thrown. :) From her relationships with amazing vendors, to her ability to design and execute the most gorgeous wedding at our dream venue, to her positive attitude and sunshiney vibes, we were in such good hands with Jenni. We're so thankful we got to work with her. We couldn't have done it without her.

Jenni Grubba was a truly phenomenal wedding planner (including logistical support, efficient coordination of vendors, design and implementation of pretty things, and emotional support)! We chose the full wedding and design package and the only regret of our whole wedding was not adding on Jenni’s full weekend wedding planning services. From our first conversation I knew that she would be fun and easy going yet also thorough and able to successfully create the wedding we envisioned. She made herself immediately and continuously available from small text questions, lengthier email discussions, to comprehensive phone conversations depending on our needs. Our most important choice was the venue, as we wanted to create a weekend of wedding events for our family and friends to gather and celebrate together onsite. She listened to our ideas, clarified with questions when needed, and set off to find the perfect spot. She completely understood and found us the most magical venue that was above and beyond our expectations! Then, based on our descriptions of our ideal wedding, she made personalized vendor recommendations. After we had explored their websites and such and picked our favorites, she reached out individually to connect us to vendors. Overall, Jenni made the vendor coordination process smooth so we could focus on the fun aspects of wedding planning. She then designed truly EXACTLY what we were hoping for to create our literal dream wedding that was beautiful beyond belief, completely stress-free and comfortable for guests, without a single mishap or catastrophe, amazingly well coordinated, and just a complete blast! The decorations were stunning, the food was delicious, and the DJ + musician combo was insanely awesome. Our guests raved throughout the entire weekend that it was the best wedding they had ever been to. Because Jenni had taken care of everything wedding related with ample time to spare, during the whole weekend we were able to focus on being with our friends, family, and each other. Being emotionally present was hugely impactful for us and enabled us to truly treasure all the details and moments. Now three months after the wedding family and friends continue to randomly text about how fun and beautiful it was. Jenni’s vendor recommendations could not have been better, her logistical planning and designing were superb, and her dedication and hard work ensured that we had a truly incredible experience. We will be forever infinitely grateful for Jenni! <3

Jenni put together the most magical wedding we could have imagined. We went into our 2019 engagement feeling completely unsure about what we wanted beyond a “low key fancy” event and operating with a slimmer budget than most Northern California couples (aka not six figures). Through countless Zoom calls, Jenni helped us build out our vision for a one-of-a-kind wedding ceremony and reception. She connected us with some of the best vendors in the business (Annamae Photo, Sounds Elevated, the So Good Photobooth, and Park Ave catering) and the dreamiest venue (thank you John and Laura!) to create a seamless event – even in the tumultuous backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic. Every detail – from the breathtaking arbor, bouquets, and florals, to the typesetting on the menus, and cheeky cocktail names – captured our vision for a stunning, fun, and grown-up wedding that didn’t take itself too seriously. Thanks to Jenni and her team, we were able to fully enjoy our party without ever once worrying about the details. Everything was truly perfect, and countless wedding guests told us it was the best wedding they’ve ever attended. We will be recommending Jenni Grubba Events to anyone who is planning a wedding in the future. Thank you, Jenni, you are a marvel!

Jenni was an absolute dream to work with on planning our wedding - especially through the ups and downs of the pandemic. What I most love about Jenni is her creative vision and the ability to deliver our inspiration / ideas in a really beautiful way within our budget. Jenni recommended and managed all our vendors, helped us plan for months and stay organized and executed the day of without a single hitch. She let us work on parts that we were passionate about and did a lot of heavy lifting without us in the weeds. She is warm and easy to work with and a great person to have as part of the team on a stressful and important day. Highly recommend working with Jenni!

Choosing Jenni Grubba Events as our wedding planner, was the first and likely the best decision my daughter, son in-law and I made in regard to planning their wedding. Jenni was a wealth of information, had creative and helpful insight into the process. She listened, guided and directed with grace and humor. The wedding day itself was relaxing (no, really!) and enjoyable because she was in charge. She moved easily and unobtrusively throughout the event and kept everything on track. She is a gifted florist and decorator. The wedding was breathtaking to the eye and romantic and joyful in feeling. I cannot recommend her more highly, than to say, “Look no further, get in touch with her today!” Trinis June 2021

Over the course of 3 years (thank you COVID) Jenni went from wedding planner to friend and I couldn’t be more grateful! I must have looked at dozens of wedding planner websites and read what felt like a million reviews before setting up that initial phone call with Jen - I never looked back after that. She was beyond easy to work with and made destination wedding planning a virtually stress free process - not an easy feat. Then when COVID hit and we we were forced to come up with a whole new wedding game plan last minute she took the reigns and made that nightmare so much easier to handle. Fast forward to wedding day 2.0 and oh my gosh what a dream! I couldn’t have been happier - the day went so smoothly, I loved all the vendors she recommended and we ended up with a truly magical, intimate wedding. Jen - you really are the BEST, anyone planning their future wedding would be lucky to have you!

Highly recommend Jenni, she pulled together my micro-wedding at our home and it could not have been more perfect. The prep and day was seamless, she is all over every little detail and she is super creative/talented with design and floral.. Thank you Jenni!

Jenni is a great planner and is so, so flexible. We moved dates, moved venues and changed our guest list due to Covid and she rode the wave alongside us. We were just married (May 2021) and the weekend went perfectly. She has an incredible design eye and every detail was accounted for. AND she is also a florist! Such a great plus!

This lady right here! Jenni is an absolute magical unicorn ninja of a planner. I have been a professional photographer in the biz for over 8 years and have worked with hundreds of vendors along the way. This woman in particular stands out amongst the rest. Not only have we worked for many years professionally, but we have also developed a beautiful friendship. I knew the moment we shared our first coffee, it would be the first of many. We even spent two weeks together in Bali adventuring and playing in waterfalls! Her attention to detail, how she can balance like 5000 things at one time and stay composed, her warmth, joy, and heart for what she does!! She literally pours her soul into every single client and it shows. Her talent speaks for itself. Don't even bother looking further. This is your planner if you want pure wedding bliss MAGIC. X

Jenni will have your back! Imagine trying to plan and execute a wedding in 2020…impossible, right? Not if Jenni is on your side. When we originally started thinking about planning our wedding it was before the pandemic hit. We did our best to find a location and get the ball rolling but quickly realized we needed some help. When we found Jenni’s website online, read about her, and saw the images of the amazing weddings she’d done before we were hooked. There was something so personal and lovely about each of those events that we knew she was the right planner for us. When the pandemic took hold, she was right there keeping us calm and assuring us that she would be our planner no matter when our wedding took place. Jenni helped us come up with a Plan B…and that Plan B was amazing! Our wedding was very personal to us. It was beautiful and elegant in a non-fussy but still stunning kind of way. I can’t tell you how many compliments we received from the small group of family and friends that attended. We heard over and over that the wedding was beautiful and intimate. We wanted everyone at the wedding to see and feel how much we loved one another, and Jenni created the perfect setting to let that shine through. She had every detail covered. It was magic!

Where do I even start with Jenni? She is absolutely the BEST wedding planner and does anything and everything she can for her clients. We initially hired her for our wedding in August of 2020 but when the pandemic hit, pivoted to a last minute microwedding instead. Jenni walked us through every step and went through multiple plan reiterations due to the pandemic and fires. In the end, she ended up flying to us to create the most magical, intimate, dreamy ceremony we could ever imagine - helping us with everything from hand making my bouquet to designing our table for our small dinner that evening. Jenni is truly amazing and such a talented, kind soul. She was incredibly professional and compassionate with everything we threw at her and I would 10000% recommend her for any wedding - big or small. Thank you, Jenni!!

Wow! Jenni was amazing on relatively short notice. When our Italian wedding was cancelled, she IMMEDIATELY pivoted to plan us the elopement of our dreams in Northern California on a cliff overlooking the ocean. Every detail was perfect- right down to the beautiful ceremony, the flowers, the location and all the people that helped make it wonderful. Hire Jenni today -whether an intimate elopement or a larger group - she’s got you covered!

Jenni Grubba Events, what can I say. From beginning to end, Jenni has that special way to warm your soul. The gifts of talent and vision in which she possesses are like no other. Jenni invests in herself by traveling the globe, learning from the best of the best in this industry to level up with each and every event she takes on. That alone is showcases just how determined she is to provide her clients with the most stunning visuals which make each and every event fresh, special, timeless, and with a hint of magic. She wholeheartedly LOVES her clients and will do everything in her power to make their experience unforgettable. From the first time I got to work with her years ago, until this day, I always feel like I am taken care of, and that just as a vendor. The feedback that I receive time and time again from my clients is that they also felt taken care of. So I know first hand the care and qualities are in unison from vendor to client which is such a rarity. Jenni is just that special person that will make your event dreams come true, and people will talk about it for the ages that come. It's always such a pleasure to always work with Jenni, and I cannot recommend her enough. Just hire her already!

It is rare when you have an opportunity to work with people you would choose to bring into your own family! Jenni is one of life’s little gems… A surprise that comes so unexpected in these days of “cookie cutter“ weddings! She is a true breath of fresh air, a creative and magical force, professional, sensitive, committed, and personal. Her attention to detail is equally matched by her whimsical creativity…always a joy to work with!

Jenni is such an incredible joy to work with! As a florist in this industry, I work with many Planners and I just can't say enough good things about her and all she does, not just for her clients, but also for all the vendors she works with. She has an eye for design and the happiest, and stress-free attitude which is a dream come true on wedding day! Her attention to detail and the care and attention she gives to each client is amazing! I highly recommend Jenni Grubba for all your planning needs!

I worked with Jenni on a wedding at the beautifully restored Lagaret in Stoughton, WI. She did a beautiful job orchestrating day-of coordination and making sure I had what I needed as the photographer, someone who can always need a hand rounding up family for photos or getting quick answers from fellow vendors. Her grace and enthusiasm was a huge help throughout the day and she will remain on my list of go-to event planners from coast to coast.

Jenni is simply the best. My now wife and I are in the wedding business. I am a DJ, and she runs a photo booth company. We met Jenni at a Weddingwire event and then worked an actual wedding together in Yosemite. When we decided to tie the knot, we wanted Someone professional but not stuffy, Someone who was on top of it but not stressed. We hired Jenni because we love her style, attention to detail, and laid back attitude. Not only did she officiate our elopement in The Bay, but we also flew her down to Mexico to plan our destination wedding. She crushed it at both! She is now our bestie, and we love her like family. Hire her now and don’t think twice.

When I started to plan my wedding I was initially a bit reluctant to get a wedding planner but I am so incredibly glad that I got to work with Jenni for my big day! Our wedding was in San Francisco this past August and had approximately 65 people in attendance. There were a lot of moving parts to the day: a ceremony at SF City Hall, a second line brass band parade, a multi-stop city tour followed by dinner and a reception at an antique store. Amazingly everything went off without a hitch and I have Jenni to thank for coordinating everything behind the scenes. From the very start of planning Jenni made sure that everything was taken care of: timelines were set, insurance was sorted out and potential vendors and rentals were identified. She provided useful spreadsheets and guided me trough the process of budget tracking, venue research and even seating charts. She has a wonderful vendor list and I was extremely impressed with every vendor she recommended. On the big day, Jenni was kind enough to print our wedding signage and even made a beautiful frame out of reclaimed wood for our welcome sign (it's currently hanging up in our house!) Overall, Jenni blew me away with her abilities and was an overall pleasure to work with! Thank you, Jenni!

When we decided to hire Jenni of Jenni Grubba Events, I was not sure whether it was a good idea. Why do we need a wedding planner? Can’t we do these little things between ourselves and our army of friends? But after the event I can tell anyone planning for a child’s wedding, don’t even think of executing a streamlined wonderful event without a good wedding planner. And Jenni is not just good, she is extremely good wedding planner. Everything went through without a single hitch and everyone including the about 300 guests loved every minute of it. Till today almost 6 months after the event we hear from our family and friends who attended the wedding that day, what a well-organized event it was. They don’t know how much Jenni’s competency and patience make that possible. Thank you, Jenni.

We had the perfect wedding (for us) and we have Jenni Grubba to thank! We approached the weekend totally stress free. In the lead up, Jenni had an easy approach to the decisions that needed to be made and a great feel for what we wanted. She became a trusted friend in the whole process and, because of her attention to detail and firm handle on all the particulars, we got to be amazed and even a little surprised about how it all came together. The design, the florals, and all the vendors were perfect because of her. Our wedding was a full destination weekend for 100 guests in Northern California and we worked with Jenni for about a year in advance. We live in Chicago and didn't have much time to plan details. But, we also have a pretty particular design aesthetic. So, it was important that we find someone who understood our vibe and had taste that we trusted. We knew we couldn't be too hands on and finding and hiring Jenni was the first, most important decision we made. Her taste is amazing, her manner is easy-going and her confidence is totally calming. Every decision after hiring her had an easy pace. She gave us options to explore when we wanted them (the venue and the photographer) and, as we got to know each other better, made strong recommendations where we wanted something particular (the DJ and sound design and hair/make-up.) She focused us on the stuff that we needed to do and took care of lots of details that we didn't need to focus on. The result was the weekend we had dreamed of with (almost) no stress along along the way. It was a once-in-a-lifetime event and we are incredibly grateful that Jenni made it happen so gracefully and easily.

This past August we held the most epic wedding and Wedding Festival Weekend for 150 guests. The venue was remote and that required the services of a top notch wedding planner. We hired Jenni Grubba and all of our wedding weekend dreams came true. I have never met a more hard working creative ‘can-do’ woman, than Jenni. She kept us on track with planning throughout the year that we worked together, culling, interviewing and contracting all of our vendors through her relationships. She kept positive when inevitable challenges arose which was so helpful. When the wedding was upon us, she was all calm exterior and high energy interior. She’s capable of handling a remarkable amount of details, individuals and situations, with an easy-going confidence that puts bride and bride’s parents at ease and allows them to enjoy the important weekend along with their family and guests. And besides all of her strong capabilities of working with budgets, families, venues and vendors- she’s a fun person! We looked forward to our planned calls and missed her when the wedding was over and we were reminiscing over the beautiful images!

Jenni was an outstanding wedding planner. She handled everything we asked her to handle, which was probably more than she bargained for, with poise and complete competence. Maybe more importantly, when we got stressed out and overwhelmed by all the wedding stuff (you will too, unfortunately), Jenni was always there to talk us down and keep us grounded, reassuring us that we were on schedule and everything was going to be fine. Our wedding was particularly difficult for a few reasons. For one, we had to plan two different ceremonies (one Indian and one western) on the same day, one in the morning and one in the evening. This involved different sets of decorations in different locations, dealing with different lunch and dinner caterers, and wrangling guests and the wedding party twice. For another, our wedding was in a fairly difficult location (OVY Camp, can’t recommend it enough). Jenni had to help us get all the food, drinks, and guests to our camp out in the woods. Despite all the complications, our wedding went off without a hitch. It was beautifully decorated by Jenni and her assistant and choreographed to perfection. We could not have asked for a more perfect wedding and Jenni made that possible. We can’t recommend her enough.

Jenni is hands down the best! We couldn’t have made our wedding happen without her! She helped us through every step of the way, reminding us of our to-do’s, giving us advice on important decisions, and relieving us of a lot of potential stressful things. Not only that, she’s an amazing floral artist with an incredible artistic eye. Her attention to detail and ability to make a room shine is the amazing! Not only that, she’s incredibly resourceful. If an issue comes up she handles it like a boss. Calm and collected. If you’re getting married - hire her immediately!

Jenni rules so hard! She can read your mind when it comes to aesthetics and will work magic to make seemingly impossible things happen within budget. I picked her based on vibe alone and do not regret it. She handled my extremely stressed out dad like a champ--thank you Jenni for pulling a complicated wedding (2 ceremonies and a dinner reception all in one day!) together like the pro you are <3

Deciding to get married and forging a new path forward with your lover is a heck of a commitment and one giant bag of unknowns, risks, dreams and wishful thinking. It’s a remarkably powerful and beautiful experience, but it doesn’t have to be stressful or daunting, as I’ve learned from Jenni Gruba-our Golden State, Bay Area-based “Badass” wedding planner. After our family’s experience with pulling off one of the most incredible celebrations of life and love alongside Jenni, we can’t imagine having done it any differently. I can honestly say that her gifted vision and abilities know no limit. Whether you seek to get a simple and sweet elopement under the radar or a full-blown “circus-festival” for a wedding extravaganza, Jenni is your gal. To consecutively have orchestrated the number of successful weddings she has, all uniquely stunning and different, while wearing a multitude of hats from officiant to florist, and for the one occasion in life where failure isn’t an option and all is on the table, Jenni deserves so much credit. Using her network, resources, and creativity, Jenni will open her world to you, allowing for endless possibilities to meet your needs and visions. You may be looking for a chill and intimate experience or perhaps something loud and grandiose, and either way, I assure you that Jenni has a plan for it. She accommodated the financial and personal wishes/needs of both sides of the family, sometimes conferencing in with up to 6 crazy family members at once, all with patience and gratitude. The motivational texts, wellness check-ins, and epic planning docs were gold! Rest assured that Jenni is fully capable of running the show all on her own and take the lead wherever you need her to, but also can walk you through the process from beginning to end, fully involved if “hands-off” is not your jam. We had a very complex wedding celebration in mind that would inevitably span over the course of 3+ days, celebrating alongside 150+ friends and family in a remote setting with logistics and activities not unlike a music festival. It was no easy task to plan and manage, but Jenni was there with us every step of the way, day and night, and ever-present in full force. She made multiple trips to the venue before, planning, scheming, dreaming, and curating, always staying on time and ahead of the game as well as in touch with those involved from vendors on down to guests. At one point during the wedding weekend, in an effort to help us meet our budget, I found her at 7 am on Friday, power-lifting and squatting our welcome dinner tables into place while simultaneously coordinating the itinerary for the day, ensuring we were fed and all was going according to plan, without breaking a sweat… just smiles. No detail goes amiss with Jenni and no mistake unfixed or problem left unsolved. For the first time in so long, I was able to breathe, kick back, enjoy my Wedding and quality time with the people who mean the most to me, without a worry on my mind. Jenni doesn’t settle for basic or just passing-She is very much a creature of perfection and efficiency, not resting until everyone in her midst is happy and thriving. She works with a sense of integrity and full-fledged heart-infused work that is so rare to come by. If anyone in the vast industry that is wedding planning deserves an award for being the “best decision made all around,” or a chance at making your celebration of love unforgettably magical, look to Jenni Gruba.

Jenni is the truly the most amazing wedding planner, I could not imagine putting my very complex wedding in the hands of anyone else and having it go has smoothly as it went. I very highly recommend you book her ASAP because she will make your wildest wedding dreams come true. My husband and I wanted a festival wedding in the woods for three full days so its safe to say there were a lot of moving parts and complexities involved in planning. Jenni got our vision from the very beginning and worked hard to make it happen exactly the way we wanted it to. All of her vendors are amazing and easy to work with which is important in the process. When it came to the wedding weekend, she worked incredibly hard to make sure everything was in it's place and all the pieces flowed smoothly. She even ran after my flower girl to help her take her shoes off before she walked down the aisle which avoided a possible flower girl melt down. She addressed issues quickly as they came up and even reminded me multiple times to eat and drink water, which trust me, you'll need the reminder. She also designed the place settings which were stunning, and even more beautiful than I could have imagined. Throughout the weekend she had a positive attitude which helped me feel at ease and most importantly, I felt that I could completely trust my special weekend in her hands. I very rarely like to use this word but honestly my wedding was perfect, and so much of that is thanks to Jenni. Beyond being incredibly good at what she does, she's an all around awesome and fun person to be around and both my husband and I now consider her a friend. You'll be incredibly lucky if you get her as your planner!

Jenni has flawless taste, candor, and execution. She truly made our day incredible and so much like ‘us’. I can’t recommend her highly enough!

I can not begin to tell you how great Jenni is! She was very professional and friendly throughout our time together. I was dealing with an event planner at our reception location who was not great at communicating and was putting a great deal of stress on me and my husband and Jenni, hired on as a day of coordinator for the set up of our reception venue, came in and made us feel completely at ease that all would be taken care of. She had to rejig some decor, as our floral arrangements were not working where we had originally wanted to place them, and the results were breathtaking! I can not speak highly enough of her! As I said before we hired her for solely day of support, but if we could go back and do it again we would have hired her on to plan everything.

We hired Jenni to do our month of coordination, decorations and flowers and couldn’t have been happier with her services. She worked with us throughout the entire process, always open to our questions and providing quick and thoughtful inputs to keep things moving and ensuring time/energy wasn’t wasted. We always trusted that she would excel on the day of, but she BUSTED HER ASS! She brought our vision to life in a way that I can only describe as magical. We are forever grateful for her support, positive attitude and ability to just get shit done. Because of her we were able to stay in the moment and enjoy our day without stress or worry. If I had to do it over again, I wouldn’t change a thing. Thank you Jenni!

Jenni was fantastic to work with! She helped us plan our wedding, provided us with day-of coordination, and more! My husband and I really thought we'd be able to plan and coordinate our 70-person wedding ourselves, but realized we needed help only a couple months before the wedding. We were super lucky to find Jenni as our wedding date was approaching quickly and we still needed to nail down several details. Jenni was a dream to work with, exuding calm and confidence (despite being so close to the wedding!), providing excellent service and advice on what we asked of her, and also going above and beyond to make up for the shortcomings of other vendors. Jenni smoothed over issues with our venue that we weren’t able to resolve after months of back-and-forth with our venue’s on-site coordinators; she made insightful suggestions that helped us perfect our day-of plans. Jenni is also a very talented calligrapher – we weren't sure we had time to add in a welcome sign, but Jenni personally created the beautiful calligraphy signage for us! Not only did Jenni do a fantastic job, but we also loved every interaction we had with her. She’s a great person and loves what she does. Highly recommend for any of your wedding planning needs!

We were referred to Jenni by our wedding venue, and we're so glad we went with her. Jenni's knowledge of the venue was so impressive and her relationships with the other vendors made everything so much easier. We found her tools during the planning process to be invaluable and looked forward to our phone dates. She had great ideas and at the same time always listened to our vision and worked with us to make it happen. And when the weekend came - we felt 300% supported. Honestly we didn't lift a finger. The execution was flawless and the weekend so seamless - it was magical. I won't pretend for a second that Jenni and her team weren't a HUGE reason for that. It was one of the best decisions we made to have them there. We felt so taken care of. We're still buzzing about the weekend and so grateful for Jenni. Wish we were going to move back to Oakland already so we could hang out - an added bonus is that she's a great person and a ton of fun.

Jenni is an incredible partner in wedding planning! When I was searching, I wanted someone that felt like my 'get-it-done" best-friend who could calm me down, hang out in coffee shops to brainstorm and co-work on the wedding, and hop on the phone when I had a question. That is who Jenni was -- an integral part of our lives the year of our wedding - guiding us, supporting us, available, and with us for every step along the way. For our actual wedding day, she could not be there, but she teamed up with an amazing coordinator (Jenna!!) who made our wedding day (feel) absolutely seamless and who even charmed my mother in the process.

Jenni was absolutely amazing! We had a 175-person wedding at Gallery 308 in Fort Mason. There were things we knew we could handle on our own, but things like venue insurance, hiring and coordinating rentals for two locations, creating a timeline for the weekend, and coordinating all the vendors the weekend of seemed over our heads. Jenni dealt with all of it and we couldn't have done it without her. Plus she is a joy of a person to work with!

First Class All the Way! Jenni Grubba Events takes the cake when it comes to weddings and special events! Jenni and her team pay attention to every detail, provide excellent all around service, and bring a relaxed, calm atmosphere to your celebration! They will go the extra mile to make sure that your event goes as you envisioned it. If you want the very best, you must choose Jenni Grubba Events.

I’m so glad that I found Jenni! My husband and I are from Utah. We wanted to have a very small, casual ceremony on Baker Beach, San Francisco and thought we’d just hire Jenni to be the officiant. However, as I started to figure our chairs, finding the right spot on the beach, corralling my family, meeting the photographer, etc I started to worry about how all these pieces would fall into place. I reached out to Jenni about being our wedding planner and thank goodness she took over. It made all the difference having her manage the details, that way I could just focus on the exciting part of getting married. Jenni really can do it all because she did the flowers for the beach and my bouquet and they were absolutely perfect but what really set her apart was the ceremony that she wrote for us. My husband and I weren’t interested in writing our own vows but in just a few conversations back and forth Jenni managed to write and perform an unforgettable ceremony that truly captured who we were, our relationship and our love. Again, I’m so glad that I found Jenni and I would recommend her to anyone.

I run a wedding venue where Jenni has coordinated several weddings over the last year or so. She is the real deal! Jenni can handle anything and everything to do with weddings. Jenni has got to be one of the most hands on wedding coordinators out there. It is obvious that Jenni deeply cares about her clients. She is consistent, reliable, and flexible. Jenni operates with professionalism and urgency while maintaining a relaxed and down-to-earth approach. She will make your wedding planning experience fun and your wedding day smooth and beautiful.

Jenni was absolutely fantastic! We could not have pulled off our wedding weekend without her. She helped us with all aspects of the planning, and took care of all of our flowers and decorations for a very reasonable price! She was available whenever we needed to talk to her about planning, and has an incredible taste for decorations. She took care of all of the minor details, and truly gave us the ability to not stress and to enjoy our wedding. She went above and beyond with the floral and decorations. I even caught her foraging around the venue (in Yosemite) to find native wildflowers as decorations, which I absolutely loved! She was so wonderful and we miss working with her already. We couldn't ask for a better planner/florist who is so organized, caring and down to earth. She was the best!

Jenni was a pleasure to work with! She went above and beyond (helping us get our centerpieces and decorating our cake) for our wedding. She is organized and detail oriented which enabled me to let go and actually enjoy my wedding on the day. Thank you so much Jenni!!!

Jenni was the wedding planner for our son’s wedding on September 15, 2018 at a sprawling outdoor venue near Half Moon Bay, California. She was phenomenal! The wedding was an entire weekend of celebration and the wedding day included 4 events in 4 separate locations at the large venue. Each portion of the wedding celebration was absolutely lovely and came off without a single glitch. Jenni was on site from early morning until late at night doing anything and everything to help, in addition to coordinating every detail. Her calm demeanor and superb management skills were so very reassuring for all of us involved in the wedding. I cannot say enough for Jenni’s skills as a wedding planner and as an all-around charming person. She was an absolute delight and I would highly recommend her to anyone and everyone!!
