Jennifer Buono Events

nitely a type A personality and have a hard time relinquishing control to anyone else, but I have to say she is the only one I could entrust with all tasks related to our wedding day and I was fully confident knowing she had everything (and everyone!) totally handled. From the first day I met with her, I literally went from crying the night before, to smiling ear to ear by the time my fiance arrived at the meeting. Even he said, "I don't know what happened in there, but she's worth her weight in gold just to have this stress off your shoulders!" We had the most exquisite wedding at the Salvador Dali museum, but had to bring in every single vendor, which involved a LOT of moving parts. On top of that, Jennifer helped come up with the design concept for what ended up being a highly stylized wedding, so there were a zillion details to keep track of...and she did it for me so I was able to enjoy it. Every time I sent her an email or a text questioning if something had been done she was already two steps ahead of me. I can't tell you what a relief that was and how much confidence in gave me to relinquish that stress to someone else so I could enjoy the process. She was invaluable in her recommendations for vendors, and that she already had established relationships with top-of-the-line people made me feel so much better. It made everything SO easy!!! She was my one go-to person and handled all the direct communication with vendors; it really streamlined the whole process. Even the few hiccups we did run into, Jennifer tried to handle them and/or come up with solutions before she ever came to me about them in order to minimize my stress! The wedding day itself was a breeze. I literally didn't have to do a thing besides get dressed and show up. We did a first look at the museum, and she was there the whole time managing vendors and set up, and long after we left cleaning up. She even returned any necessary items to vendors and donated our flowers for me!! I can't recommend Jennifer highly enough for any and all planning services. She was priceless to me. She not only helped me design and plan the wedding of my dreams...she was the reason I could enjoy it. Thank you Jennifer!!!

with! She took on the daunting challenge of accepting us as clients just 6 months before our wedding. For starters, she picked up all the (poorly planned) pieces she inherited from our original wedding planner, who didn't work out! Beyond that, she managed our vendor relationships so flawlessly and seamlessly that our time was spent handling only the absolute necessary things like contracts and key decisions. She took all of the guesswork out, the back-and-forth, the stages of negotiating, and struggles of uncertainties ... and managed to streamline communication for us, all while keeping us on track!! With our crazy work and personal schedules ... i don't know how we could have managed it all, had it not been for Jennifer. We had a final guest count of about 220 (i think! haha that's the beauty of working with Jennifer. we let her handle all the specifics.) Her attention to detail and her constant concern for the big picture of managing the logistics and creating efficiencies was INVALUABLE! With a large wedding at the Rialto Theatre (ceremony AND reception) logistics was key! As a blank slate venue, we had to hire a ton of vendors and details ... the need for flawless execution to handle setup, coordination, and of course FLIPPING THE ROOM in one hour flat ... was nothing shy of a wedding planning miracle! I was most pleased with how she became our one point of contact. It was so comforting to have that one person who could keep track of everything, keep us on schedule, and answer inquiries from vendors or meet with them to do walk-throughs, or even just brainstorm logistics. Having that resource allowed us to enjoy the planning stages, and more importantly, the wedding day ... because our focus was where it should be: celebrating our wedding! Everything was amazing! It was so nice to have Jennifer in our corner. While most couples are probably spending their final months of engagement sifting through details, attempting to coordinate the madness, all while trying to juggle daily life ... we were able to simply enjoy our engagement and rest assured that Jennifer had the details taken care of. She was super easy to reach by phone and email - and she was incredibly understanding when my husband and I weren't as easy to reach! ha! She used a great portal that allowed us to have an online view of the stages of our wedding planning. At any given point, we could peak behind the curtain and see as many or as little of the details of the work being done behind the scenes. I had access to timelines, check lists, guest lists, seating charts, etc. and even a minute-by-minute day-of timeline for the wedding! Seriously - a massive coordination effort! Quickly, just want to touch on the importance of having Jennifer there the entire wedding day. From set-up to break down and clean-up ... she was there to manage it all. We simply showed up, celebrated, and left when the party ended! She stayed back and made sure all the rentals were returned, the place was clean, and everything was in order! We saw the best and the worst of wedding planners ... make sure the planner can follow-through with what they promise. Jennifer did ALL of that and more... and truly made it a pleasant experience throughout! We'd highly recommend her to any future couples!
