Jennifer's professionalism and attitude to roll with the punches made her the perfect pick for our day of coordinator. Especially for large weddings or for couples who are planners - Jennifer knows things you don't even know you need to think of, and knows how to handle the small hiccups that happen day of. She is the absolute best!
Jennifer and her team handled our month-of/day-of coordination and they all did a phenomenal job of ensuring the day went off without a hitch from the big picture items to the little details. Jennifer put together a comprehensive day-of schedule to keep us and our vendors on track throughout the entire day. This took all the stress off us and ensured that me and my husband, the bridal party, and our family were "guests at our own wedding" without having to worry about organizing people and resolving any issues. Jennifer and her assistants, Kyli and Robin, put us all at ease and were a joy to be with throughout the day! They were so attentive, kind, and professional, and made sure all of our needs were met. I highly recommend Jennifer Tolento Events for wedding coordination and planning! It was worth every penny!
Jen is the BEST at what she does and hands down one of the best decisions we made throughout the entire process. We knew we wanted help planning our wedding, but we didn't know how much we would thank ourselves down the road for getting that help. Jen was amazing every step of the way! She introduced us to incredible vendors, helped us with discounts, put together our vision and made it all come together on our special day. We love her so much and recommend her and her team!
Jennifer was an amazing investment for our wedding ! Hiring her was one of the best things I did for our wedding. Because of Jennifer and her team, everything ran smoothly the day of our wedding. She created a timeline and coordinated with all vendors so that everyone was on the same page. The entire day was stress free thanks to her and her team. Everyone has asked if anything went wrong the day of and my answer has been “if it did, I had no idea.” And that’s all thanks to Jennifer and her amazing talent as a planner. Her team was organized and on the same page all day. Even leading up to our wedding Jennifer was on top of things and followed up every step of the way. I can’t thank her and her team enough for helping make our day so perfect. My advice to all brides and grooms - do yourself a favor and hire a planner..Jennifer is the way to go !!
Thanks to Jen and the Tolento Events team, our wedding day was a stress-free, incredible, dream come true. It was everything we ever wanted and more. If you are looking around for a planner—look no further!. Hire Jen, full-time because your event will stand out like you could have never imagined.
Jen makes planning a big event easy and fun. We booked Jen Tolento Events about a year before our wedding. When we hired her, our anxiety and overwhelmed feelings were immediately put to ease. She gave us expert advice, guidance, and support throughout the entire planning process. She was the creative mastermind behind almost every over the top feature of our memorable wedding.
Jen made our wedding wish list a reality (suspended cake, amazing florist display, beautiful invitations, electronic violinist, bagpipers and a belly dancer to name a few). She introduced us to and coordinated with reputable vendors and event performers. She always made herself accessible to us. Jen is patient, graceful, talented, and vastly knowledgeable about the wedding industry. She was an absolute pleasure to work with.
During the planning phase, we followed Jen’s lead and listened to her as she guided us along the way. She was more than a planner, she was family and truly cared about our day as if it was her own.
On our wedding day, Jen showed up with a star studded team. Her team was totally vested and all business when it was showtime. They worked hard making sure everything was just right. We smiled the entire day and never once felt stressed because we knew Jen had everything handled.
There were some unforeseen challenges on the wedding day which were completely out of our hands. These challenges could have really wreaked havoc on our day, but Jen came through and shined under pressure. One example is how the start of the church ceremony was delayed over a 1.5 hour and cut the set up time for the florist. Once given the clearance to set up, Jen and the girls went full speed ahead. The ceremony was set up in lightning speed and also assured that all the guests were cared for during the delay. Jen personally handled the domino effect delay of events for the rest of the day. The cocktail hour, musicians, and entertainers were all seamlessly re-scheduled and it honestly didn’t feel any different from the original plans. Everyone raved on how this wedding was so well orchestrated and presented like a Broadway show. The party went way past midnight and lasted a lifetime in everyone’s memories.
We took a bit of time to write this review because we wanted it to thoughtfully reflect our experience working with Jen Tolento events. We absolutely love Jen and cannot imagine our wedding day without her. We hope to work with her again in the future… (Baby shower! Surprise Jen! : ) , It’s a BOY!).
Jen was a great investment for our wedding! We got married at a venue where you bring your own vendors in and have to be off grounds by a certain time. We knew we didn't want to have to worry the day of. As our day-of coordinator, she helped put together our timeline and keep in contact with the many vendors coming from all over. She answered any questions we had throughout the planning process, and she took care of our tips for the vendors at the end of the night. She fought for us to get the best service from everyone. Thank you so much for everything, Jen!

If you are reading this review, you are probably just like me wondering if you really need someone to help with your wedding and asking yourself is it worth it. WELL IT IS! Working with Jennifer for our wedding was the best decision we made. My only regret is not reaching out to her sooner! From the first minute I spoke to her, she put my mind at ease. She took the time to understand what we wanted and really made that vision come to life for us. Her knowledge and expertise were extremely helpful during planning. She is amazing at what she does, and she will make your dream day a reality.
Knowing that Jennifer and her team were with us during our wedding was priceless. It allowed us to TOTALLY and completely relax and enjoy our day. They took care of all the little details, made sure we were on schedule, that we had everything we needed, and even stepped up for all those little emergencies along the way. We were able to be present and appreciate every second of our wedding which is worth more than anything. I will recommend Jennifer to anyone planning a wedding or a party. We are forever grateful for all she did and we know our day was perfect because of her!
Jennifer is a top notch wedding planner with a huge breadth of knowledge and lots of industry expertise. She got to know us right a way and seemed to instantly have a deep understanding of what my wife and I were hoping for on our wedding day. Her ideas were always insightful and she helped us stay on track at every turn. We were blown away by the results and couldn't have asked for a better team to make sure everything went smoothly on the day-of. Jennifer's services are worth their weight in gold. Can't thank you enough!

The moment I knew I needed her for my own future wedding? The day of my brothers wedding when the shuttles never showed and Jennifer jumped on the phone within seconds, solved the problem, and got everything extended 1/2 hour, all the while the bride & groom sat back and got a minute to breathe and sip a drink before the day continued.
The moment I knew I made the right decision hiring her for our own wedding? When leaving our 2nd venue, I expressed in the parking lot that I fell in love with it and was ready to book immediately, when Jennifer asked us to trust her and come see a few more only because at the same price range, we could have so much more included rather than an expensive add on. Sure enough the 1st venue she suggested we see, included DOUBLE what the one I "loved" offered and was even more beautiful. Her knowledge of the industry alone and her ability to execute it in your favor is a huge reason why I would recommend her.
This past weekend, Bryan and I experienced the best day of our lives. From 7:00am - 12 midnight, I smiled and laughed and worried ONLY when I realized I dropped my Grandmother's wedding band somewhere during pictures (dont worry, Jennifers assistant found it!). I can't tell you how many people told me how relaxed I seemed, and I am convinced it was because I knew I had such a great team on our side. You usually only do this wedding thing once in your lifetime, and Jennifer and her team do it 2-3 times a month! For almost any problem, they have a tool or an idea on hand and if they dont, they WILL get one.
The planning process was truly a joy for us and I am saying this very honestly. For a year and a half Jennifer set up & attended meetings with us, asked the questions we didnt know we had to ask, negotiated well in our favor (saving money is ALWAYS nice am I right?) and went above and beyond to make our day the best in our life. Our timeline was so meticulously planned out for the day of - that we were actually able to take it ALL in! So many brides say the time flew and it was all a blur, but for me - I was able to enjoy all of the great parts and I truly believe it was because of Jennifer Tolento.
Even though we are very sad to have the planning process and our time together over for now, we are so happy for her to move on and make another wedding amazing for her next client. Whether you're a detail-oriented-perfectionist or a laid back-dont know the name of any flowers- let's just have fun type of bride like me, you can never go wrong with Jennifer & her team. Her expertise, patience & kick a** personality make her an amazing wedding planner and an even better friend. Now I am onto finding some future event she can help us plan!
Jennifer was a god send! We were planning our own wedding and had no idea how much actually went into it. We hired Jennifer midway through and she was absolutely amazing from start to finish! I can not thank her enough for making sure our special day was fantastic. We had a small venue that we had to fit almost 150 people in, all of her ideas and organization skills made the perfect day and the memories will last a life time!!! Thank you so much Jennifer!

I think the most important been there done that advice I could possibly give to a bride to be is to hire Jennifer and her team! Jennifer made sure that everything was absolutely perfect and I was left without a single worry on the day of! Not only was she such an amazing day of coordinator who went above and beyond (hemming bridesmaids dresses hours before ceremony is just one example) but, she was there for me throughout my planning - giving advice, recommendations, and fixing issues with vendors for me! She goes above and beyond and I would have been lost without her! Thank you thank you Jennifer, you are beyond amazing!
Jen was far and away the best decision we made while planning our wedding. She helped guide us through the planning, process, brought us to the most incredible vendors and became more like family along the way. We could not have pulled off this wedding without her and are so beyond thankful we found her!!
Throwing a DIY wedding is no joking manner. Just when you think you are on the right track, you are blindsided by another task that you never considered. Thankfully we hired Jennifer Tolento and her event company to help us facilitate the process, and most importantly, coordinate our most joyous day. From the get go Jennifer was only an email away and was so helpful with making our wedding day so special. She contacted all our vendors to assure a smooth and seamless event, and assisted from the morning of till we left the venue. We couldn’t imagine what our wedding would be like without her and her assistant Jessica providing excellent service. Thank you Jennifer!
Jennifer Tolento was amazing and was everything we needed to make our wedding great. She was always one step ahead of us making sure everything was perfect. She thought of things we didn't and reminded us of our to-dos along the way. I am recommending her to everyone who is getting married. She makes the process enjoyable and less stressful.
Jennifer and her team were beyond amazing the day of our wedding, as well as the days/weeks leading up to it. In addition to her helping us tie up a bunch of loose ends, once the week of the wedding came, Jennifer knew exactly what we wanted and was able to drive the ship while we actually got to enjoy our own wedding without worrying about one.single.thing. Jen confirmed everything with all my vendors the days leading up to the wedding which took so much off our plates with all the last minute things that can come up. As the bride, I can honestly say I did not have to think of, or worry about, one logistical thing the day of my wedding which was exactly what I wanted. We had a lot of moving parts having the hotel, ceremony and reception at different locations and was the reason why we even considered a coordinator in the first place. It all went so unbelievably smooth and it was completely due to Jen and her team being on top of everything from start to finish. If you are even considering a wedding coordinator, do it!! Jen is the best and you will be SO, SO thankful when you realize you got to enjoy every single moment of your day:)
Jennifer is one detail of your wedding you do not want to leave out! She goes above and beyond to make every vision you have a reality. Not only does she have an award winning personality, her knowledge of the entire wedding process gives you an unbelievable piece of mind that it will all be perfect. From my invitations to my favors and everything in between Jennifer’s attention to detail shined right through. When my shuttle didn’t show up to get my guests, Jennifer was on the phone with another company in seconds to get a new shuttle, adjusting times with the venue and and other vendors, she truly was my knight in shining armor. I trust me when I say, you will regret it if you don’t book this gem!
We hired Jennifer a few weeks before our wedding for same day coordination. Her team was amazing. They gave us the peace of mind we needed during the crazy weeks leading up to the wedding. On the day of the wedding there wasn’t anything we had to worry about except enjoying the day. Best decision we made!
I planned my wedding at a hall and needed a day of coordinator - Jennifer exceeded every expectation I had, was there along the way to help me with any and all questions, checked out the hall, thought of the things I didn't, did the rehearsal with us, and made the day run smooth - I was a guest at my own wedding like she promised! We had a few hiccups during the reception, Jennifer was quick on her feet to make it run seamless...best decision I made!
Fabulous and organized! As the Director of Catering for Jacques Caterers we worked together with Jennifer for the wedding of Erin & Craig at the Sandy Hook Chapel! When working off site at a venue it great to have assistance from a party planner who knows what to do and how to do it! Having Jennifer on site - assisted our team in doing what we do best with the food, beverage and staff for the event. This gave us the opportunity to concentrate on the service aspect of the event and together we created a memory to last a lifetime for the couple! Thank you Jennifer - looking forward to working with you and your team once again!
We absolutely loved having Jennifer! She was so helpful, our day would not have come together without her! We used DIY flowers her team was great at putting them out for us the way we envisioned it. We are so grateful for everything she did for us, thank you!!!
I truly cannot recommend Jennifer Tolento Events enough to help plan a wedding or event. Jennifer went above and beyond what was expected to make my wedding day special. She was not only professional, she was attentive, organized, and extremely knowledgeable about the entire process. From the beginning of the planning process to the end of my wedding, Jennifer made sure everything ran smoothly. She was always available to talk, or even meet, if I had a question or needed to go over something in the stressful months before. I was honestly put at ease knowing Jennifer was there taking care of anything, and everything, that came up. From the timeline for the ceremony and reception, to the organization of all the vendors, wedding party, and venue setup, Jennifer's attention to detail allowed me to relax and actually enjoy the day.
