Jennifer Alexa Event Planning LLC

t you can do it yourself, or maybe that you have previous event planning experience and don’t need the extra help (*cough, cough* *me*)… I urge you to read on! I really did think I could do it all! But when I found out about 3 weeks prior to the wedding that we couldn’t get into the venue to set up the day before and would have to be out by midnight the night of… that changed. Because I had to like… you know… get married and what not! We hired Jennifer Alexa Events and from that first conversation with Jen and Kyle on, everything became more enjoyable. The last-minute stress I was feeling melted away. They took care of SO MANY THINGS. Things that I didn’t even know were things I had to think about! They even attended the rehearsal so that the ceremony was flawless, printed programs, set up for the wedding, took everything down at the end of the night, and packed it all up. We didn't have to lift a finger! Day-of, we were actually able to ENJOY the wedding instead of just feeling like it was a big ball of stress. I honestly don't know how we would have done it without them. We are beyond grateful. From the tiniest detail to the big things... the day was PERFECT! (And how many brides can truly say their wedding day was perfect?! We owe it all to Jen and Kyle!) We will NEVER forget their generosity, professionalism, and kindness. We call Jen and Kyle our wedding angels! Truly truly truly THANK YOU for making our dream wedding possible!!! I'm so grateful there are humans like you two in this world!

ator/planner, I listed out a couple in the area and first met with Jennifer and Kyle. I’ll be honest, that meeting is all I needed. While I didn’t know exactly what to ask or what I was doing really, I was sold. I knew we needed them to be part of our day. Jennifer and Kyle kept in constant communication with us throughout the end of the planning process. They made my life incredibly less stressful by coordinating all of the vendors with the venue, pick up of décor/other items, and decorating the ceremony and reception site. We met over the phone a few times to make sure vendors/timelines lined up and we were ultimately getting what we wanted. Day of was so great. The team arrived early to begin set up of the décor. I tried providing photos of what I was thinking, and they executed that – especially the beautiful fireplace décor! Set up was quick and tear down was even quicker. Everything was put back into the bins I provided and placed inside various vehicles. Honestly, Jennifer and her team went above and beyond to make our day seamless. I am confident that our day would not have gone as well as it did, if we didn’t have them there. Everything Jennifer Alexa Events provided was more than what we could have asked for. We couldn’t be more thankful!

nd them for any event. Specifically, we worked with Kyle and Jen, both of whom consistently went above and beyond. They are both obviously expert event planners and highly detail-oriented. This was especially appreciated in our case as my wife and myself lived apart, with neither of us in Cleveland. Having Jen and Kyle to help focus our attention and keep us on track was key to getting our event organized. Day of, the whole event planning crew was great. They kept everything on track. Jennifer Alexa Event Planning was worth every penny to not have to worry about the day-of coordination of vendors, family, etc. I highly recommend these folks for any event -- If you have even half the experience we did, I am sure you won't be disappointed!

l.

uch easier for us. Throughout the entire planning process communication was open and clear, and they helped us make the day of the wedding run so smoothly. As a fellow vendor, they are great to work with, and we’re looking forward to the next time we can team up!

ity to relax and enjoy our day. Their attention to detail and dedication to their work was something you do not see very often , thanks again!!!!

r and she instantly made us feel so comfortable and calm! Her attention to detail that showed even during our first meeting put us as ease. They handle everything perfectly and our day went swimmingly! I could have not asked for a better coordination team!

ennifer Alexa Event Planning, and it was hands down the best money we spent! Jennifer and her team managed our venue personnel, and took the stress out of my hands. They asked all the right questions (that I hadn't even thought of), and made the day of really worry free, and absolutely beautiful and just like I imagined. I would highly recommend Jennifer Alexa Event Planning - my sister will be using them when she gets married!

n my hand! I could not have asked for a more perfect day. They helped the day run so smoothly and even went above and beyond to pick up things we had forgotten about. We hired her for the day of coordinator and she was SO MUCH more then that. I’m so thankful for Jen and her team!

fe and I did not need to stress about any sort of set-up, take down, or everything else. She also helped guide our guests from venue to venue and took care of details we had not totally considered, like how to most effectively get people to move from the cocktail hour to the sit down dinner while we had family photos being taken, What stuck out most to me was the care and consideration she had with us the entire time. She understood how important the day was for us and our families and the importance of taking all of the stress off from us. The only thing my wife and I had to be worried about on our wedding day was enjoying and cherishing the moment, Jen took care of everything else and helped make it perfect.

ful ideas though was low pressure and went above and beyond every step of the way! She made sure to remind us it was our day and did everything she could to make it perfect and exactly how we wanted it. Jen and her team were prompt, professional, and creative. We can not imagine how our wedding day would have gone if she was not there! I strongly recommend this vendor!

they know how to handle a tough situation, they make your day as a couple as stress free as humanly possible. I cannot fathom how we would have made it through without them. The consummate professionals. HIRE. THESE. AMAZING. HUMANS.

in scheduling the venue tour and pick-up/drop-offs for all of the stuff they transported to the venue. At the rehearsal, they passed out detailed itineraries and my brother commented that he had been to conferences that were less organized. In addition to being organized, professional, and so helpful, they both bring a great positive energy! Having their smiling, calm faces reassure me that everything would work out really helped calm my nerves. I would recommend Jennifer Alexa Events to anyone who wants a stress-free wedding!

cleaning my wedding dress when it got stained, & setup vendor meetings, they were just wonderful & we can't rave enough about them!

then some!! She is very detail-oriented which I truly appreciated. She helped my mom and I figure out what we needed and didn't need and she valued our budget and time constraints for meetings and overall cost. As a bride who didn't enjoy the multitude of choices of vendors, it was a saving grace to have Jen filter options and present us with vendor possibilities based on quality and cost (keeping our budget in mind). Even though our wedding vision was constantly evolving she knew how to help us navigate the process. Our wedding was easily the most magical day of our lives and we have Jen to thank for helping the vision evolve and eventually become a reality. She served as a friend, confidant, lawyer (meticulously reading and negotiating our contracts with vendors), advocate, and amazing planner!!! Don't overlook the fact that she is bubbly, personable, and at the end of the day there to make sure your vision unfolds exactly as you want. Kyle is a talented designer and our printed materials were affordable and exactly what I envisioned without me actually knowing it!!! A great team to have on your side! Even when the wedding was over, an issue came up 2 days later, Jen and Kyle stepped in to solve the problem and I cannot thank them enough for their hard work, talents, and for being such wonderful people :)

s and the attention to detail was amazing. From arranging the princess surprise, to the fine details of the different play stations for the kids , everything operated so smoothly . Thanks again!!!!

have worked together on many events - and it is always fun and flawless! She makes the coordination of even the most challenging events, seem like a breeze - always with a smile on her face and endless energy! She will always be our go-to event planner!

process. Make your life simpler and hire Jennifer Alexa planning.

were supposed to be at the correct times. She also was in contact with all of our vendors and kept them organized and ensured that I as the bride had nothing to worry about except for enjoying my day. Honestly both my husband and I would recommend Jen and her team to any couple getting married...you will be so glad that you did! If there were any problems that occurred during our day, we had no idea about them! Thank you so much again Jen!!

ooking for seamless planning on their wedding day!

and her team showed up bright and early (7:00 AM) in order to setup gifts for my bridesmaids before they arrived at the venue. Our ceremony was at 4:30 so you would think that the 9.5 hours in between that time was not necessary for the entire team to stay and work. Let me tell you, the entire team stayed busy every minute before the wedding making sure that our day was perfect. And the day was beyond perfect! Jen ran out to Target in the morning to get a few things that the bridesmaids forgot, stopped at Starbucks to pick up additional breakfast options for the girls who had dietary restrictions and had her other team members back at the venue greeting our outside vendors making sure that everything was in order. Jen was amazing at keeping us on schedule but not making us feel rushed if we were behind or stressed about needing to get ready for the first dance, bustle my dress, take additional pictures outside, etc. Jen coordinated the day perfectly and we are so thankful that she was there with us.

I found Jen, Kyle, and her team. When I initially met with Jen, I instantly got a good feeling about her. I felt like she would command the day and my wedding was safe with her. I was right. Even though I hired Jen to be a "day-of-coordinator", she was so helpful leading up to the big day! A few months before my wedding, we had issues with my photographer/videographer and ended up having to find a new one. Jen sent us a list of reputable photographers and videographers shortly after, and we couldn't be happier with our new choices. Jen also provided an itinerary, coordinated with all vendors the weeks leading up, and helped to make sure I knew nothing of what went wrong that day. Please book Jen for your wedding day, I promise you will not be disappointed!

be Manager on the day of the wedding. Best decision ever. While JenniferAlexa offers much more, we told Jen we'd only need assistance on the wedding day. She agreed to help us out, but told us that she'd do more on her end to make sure she felt prepared for our day. She checked in on our progress, she helped set the itinerary and timelines. On rehearsal day, she and the team set up the decor and then coached us all thru the ceremony. She had all the tips and detail points that we would've missed on our own. On our wedding day, we felt such a sense of ease, knowing that Jen had it under control. It all went so smoothly. After the ceremony, Jen was ready to efficiently and expediently facilitate pictures with a very large family to get all shots within a short photography window; our photographer got a free assistant with Jen running the show. The coordination with food vendors, bartenders, and a deluge of family questions were all expertly handled by Jen and her team. We were impressed by how intuitive she was with anticipating every need. On multiple occasions her staff appeared almost as soon as a need or want had entered our minds. Hands down, this was the best money we spent on the wedding. They were pleasant, efficient, proficient, professional, and just an all around wonderful team. From our initial meeting, we felt exponentially more able to feel excited about our wedding day, knowing that we could entrust them to coordinate people and details so that we could relax and enjoy the best day of lives. From the bottom of our hearts (which are very full, as we write this review mere days after our wedding), we thank the staff of JenniferAlexa for helping us have our perfect day.

the wedding. I should've known better. Standing on the sidelines is not how Jen works. To put it simply, my wedding was exactly what I wanted. Friends and family came from across the country to Chicago on the hottest day in June to have a great time, and Jen was 100% a HUGE part of making that happen. From the organization of vendors to figuring out a crazy situation with an uncounted for +1 guest, every detail was covered. (And an extra shout out to her husband, Justin, who is a SAINT!) I severely underestimated what all goes into planning a wedding and all those little apps and spreadsheets just don't cut it. Also, don't stress out about tablecloths. I'm mainly writing this because everyone needs a Jen in their life- supremely joyful, optimistic, whip smart, outgoing, and a powerhouse of a lawyer as well. When you meet her, you'll get it. The reviews below and on other sites will tell you the same story- if you're getting married, hosting an event, or just simply throwing an amazing 4th birthday party, you'll definitely want Jennifer Alexa Event Planning to be on your team.

off the perfect wedding. I called my fiance and said, I NEED to book her. It was the best decision I made during this planning process. I work a lot of hours and Jen and her team made sure I stayed on track. They communicate extremely well and made sure I was always ahead of schedule. With work being extremely stressful, they understood I had no room for additional stress. Not only was my wedding a huge success, but I never felt overwhelmed during the process. We had an ice cream bar at our wedding-- specifically for my husband. He is an ice cream junkie! Unfortunately, we didn't know that the ice cream was out because we were busy talking to our guests. Jen made sure to get a bowl of each flavor and set it aside for my husband. We were so grateful. She also made sure to find more bottles of Makers 46 for my Dad. She took care of every detail and hiccup without me even realizing they existed. We used them for partial planning and it was worth every dime. The day of, I honestly don't know what I would have done with out her and her team. A month after my wedding and she still checks in to make sure I am taken care of by my vendors. Jen and her team are worth every dollar and then some. My wedding wouldn't have been the same without them. Not only did we build a great professional relationship, but we built a friendship too!

ember of our bridal party for the rehearsal and the day of the wedding. I had zero stress the day of my wedding and was able to enjoy it because Jen handled everything!

dy in moments. do yourself a favor and hire jen.

a planner. God sent us Jen and i dont mean that lightly. She and her team were amazing. I was skeptical at first. Im very type A and wanted control over everything. I still did but with Jen and her amazing team at my side. I had a fairly large wedding so jen said she was going to have "all hands on deck". She, kyle, tori and Sam made everything happen. they transformed a simple hall into the reception of my dreams. i cant thank them all enough. they even packed my moms and dads car at the end of the night!! HIRE THEM. Like now.

one for your life ahead of you. Thanks to the wonderful staff of Jennifer Alexa Event planning, my wife and recieved the magical day that we looked forward to since she said I do. The coordinators were friendly and attentive, the venue was well organized and all of our guests had a fun time.

daughter and son in laws voices were hear and the vision they had was perfectly executed. The day of was picture perfect. The itinerary was spot on to the minute. They kept the de on schedule and everything. If you are planning your wedding, use Jennifer Alexa

y recommend.

ey never once judged us for our ideas or thoughts on our wedding and always encouraged my husband and I to make it everything we want to be. I had a dog theme wedding and they were more than encouraging and Kyle even did a fantastic job with all of the signage for the wedding and he got really creative and brought our vision to life for our big day. I can't thank them enough for all they did as my wedding would not have been all that I dreamed of it wasn't for their constant support and help throughout the entire process.

went off seamlessly, much in part to Jennifer's detailed planning and execution. Much of her charges were earned back in savings she was able gain from vendors and I cannot explain how much more relaxed and stress-free the whole event was for me having the confidence that she was handling all of the details. She was an absolute pleasure to work with and her whole team made our event everything we hoped it would be. I would recommend her without reservation!

h anything. Enter Jen and her team. First of all, we got weekly emails reminding of what was left on our to-do list. Crucial. Then, she took over about 4 weeks before the wedding. She was the point of contact for ALL of my vendors. She literally told them everything they needed to go (all the silly details that I wouldn't even think of) and she made this MASSIVE day-of itinerary. The pages calmed my anxiety. Because she thought of EVERYTHING. But it wasn't just what she did, it's how she did it. She was kind, thoughtful , and a hoot! The day of, her team swooped in on the day in the best way possible. They made sure the boys were getting dressed and on time. They picked up a birthday cake for me (my friend's 30th and I wanted to have a cake on her table). They helped us get to the church, and cocktail hour on time. Kyle and Jen helped everyone in my life be pulled together for that day. I had hired Jen for Day-of Coordination, but she did so much more. And honestly, I would have paid her double.

rom being my points of contact with vendors, to making sure I ate, everything was perfect. If you are even considering a planner, save yourself the time and hire Jen. If you aren't sure about hiring a day-of, you will not regret doing it. I am so glad I did. Everyone, including strangers, kept commenting how calm I was and it was all because of Jen, Kyle, and Tori.

e! Our venue, a park pavilion looked even better than I had imagined it would! She was there for us each step of the way and so organized that on the day of our wedding, we had nothing to do or worry about but enjoying our day. With Jen getting through family photos was a breeze, even our Photographer was impressed on how she got everyone to do their part in getting the pictures taken that we were a head of schedule! My mother remarked that she was so happy with Jen and her staff that she was able to kick back and relax right away and did not have to worry about anything but visiting with all our guests. It was a perfect day thanks to Jen and company!

l was perfectly thought out and advocated for us every step of the way. On the day of the wedding I was able to feel relaxed and Jen, Alexa, and Kyle made sure everything ran smoothly and our big day was everything we expected it to be and so much more!!! I am so thankful for Jen and her amazing work... Seriously if you need a wedding coordinator Jen is your girl. Thanks so much for everything, Jen!!

ning services. If anything went wrong at/or during our wedding, we had no idea - which is a testament to these two! I would 150% recommend booking JenniferAlexa Event Planning ! I had a very hesitant groom and by the week of the wedding he was telling me "best money we spent - we could not have done this without Jennifer and Alexa". For their consulting services, we met with them after we already had a lot of the big things booked (photographer, dj, venue, etc..) and with sites like Pintrest, I started to get very overwhelmed with all the ideas for decor, paper, linens, logistics, etc.. and 1 meeting they helped me to hone in on my vision, gave great suggestions, and brought up important things that we had not even thought about/considered yet! With such great taste and creativity (especially with Alexa's interior design background) -they truly helped bring my vision to life and we're absolutely incredible with any follow up questions and concerns we had on anything! For the Day-Of Coordination, they were fabulous! Very professional, friendly, but direct when we needed them to be, and so great to work with! They were truly looking out for us on our day and made sure that us, our friends, and family were able to enjoy it - which we are beyond grateful for because the day goes by so fast! Anything that we needed - they stepped up to do and help with- decor, bridesmaid dresses, making sure vendors got payments/tip, table set up, hanging our marquee lights, etc. They day of timeline alone was amazing - they helped to pull an entire schedule for the weekend and got it into the hands of all of our vendors and personally reached out to each one to make sure they had what they needed and knew where they needed to be when! Simply amazing and cannot say enough good things!

d she was there, she not only had everything you could ever need in case of a mishap, she gets all the details. There is no way I would have been able to get people where they needed to be, while paying vendors, while being a bride. She was wonderful, there when you needed her but gave space so she wasn't hounding. In fact, my brother in law's car was damaged by the hotel valet and Jen (who is a lawyer) was able to help out with the situation. While that could really ruin someone's day, Jen stepped in and helped figure it all out! Jen and Justin were so helpful, I would recommend her to anyone!

ironing tablecloths (ALL NIGHT) to setting up food tastings to being a friend to vent with to reccomending vendors and even making sure that I ate breakfast the day of- they were lifesavers! If something isn't perfect or exactly how you want it they will literally MAKE it perfect. Also, the fact that Jen is a practicing lawyer (yep! I told you they were awesome!) totally helps. She looks over every detail of every contract with every vendor. These wedding planners ask the questions you wouldnt even think to ask to make sure eveything goes smoothly. When I started planning our wedding I didnt even consider or think that I needed a wedding planner and now looking back I have no idea what we would have done without them. I became so overwhelmed with all the details and was completely stressed until I let Jenifer and Alexa step in and take over. They do all the busy work and take a huge weight off your shoulders so that the bride can actually enjoy her wedding. They are considerate, professional, and so protective of their brides. These girls did everything in their power to make sure the wedding was exactly what WE (the bride and groom) had dreamed our big day would be and more (because there can be a lot of opinions floating around!). These wedding planners are a must-have! They were high energy, always on top of things and what they do for you is priceless! I cant thank them enough.
