JHevents

all of our files way ahead of that time to get organized. Then, she completely took over for me! Her organization and attention to detail is impeccable and she makes sure nothing is forgotten. Each meeting was a breeze! I also cannot even begin to explain how amazing she, and her assistant Alicia, were the day of. Jess and Alicia knew exactly what to do, where everything went, and led the day with ease. I commented to Jess at the end of the night that I was not even sure if anything had gone wrong or if there had been any challenges because she never even had to ask me any questions through the whole day and everything was perfect! Not to mention that she set everything up exactly as we had described and also put everything away for us before the night was over. She was truly the most amazing planner and we were so grateful to have her guiding us throughout the day! Do not hesitate at all to book with this amazing company! Jess and her team make it known you are their number one priority and put their all into making sure your day is spectacular! Thank you JH Events for helping us have the most amazing wedding day!  

cially supporting us for the month leading up to our wedding. Her calming presence was certainly felt throughout planning and our wedding! We loved working with her and would absolutely recommend her to other couples looking for a planner or coordinator!

text messages/phone calls. Jess was level headed and decisive, yet soft/patient with us as we navigated through the intricate wedding process. We had a unique wedding (very authentic/creative) and Jess was so patient and thoughtful with every single detail. On the wedding day, she came with two extra helpers who truly went above and beyond. My family and close friends raved at how organized and well executed the wedding was and a large part of that goes to Jess. We look forward to staying connected with our now new friend, Jess. We would recommend Jess to anyone who needs her services!

y one, helped us create a very detailed plan to bring it to life, and kept track of so many details along the way. She and her team expertly made sure our day went as smoothly as possible, so that we could just enjoy ourselves! We had a few unexpected hiccups and they navigated them perfectly. She seemed to be in multiple places at once, coordinating not only myself, my husband, and family members, but venue staff and our multitude of vendors as well. We cannot recommend her enough for her services. Thank you Jessica for helping our wedding day go perfectly!

ay. Jess and her team were all over it, and it really gave me a sense of comfort on the day. Jess also made herself available in the weeks and months leading up to the wedding to answer my questions, which I really appreciated it. The wedding day went great and I couldn't recommend Jess more highly!

beyond, coordinating seamlessly with our vendors to manage timelines and ensure everything ran smoothly. The team handled even the most challenging vendors and the logistical complexities of our venue with grace and efficiency. On top of all that, Jess and the team were consistently warm, supportive, and genuinely kind to my family and me throughout the entire process.

love that she was informative when we asked questions and always made us confident in our choices. On the day of our wedding, her team did a great job coordinating with vendors and overall making sure the wedding went smoothly. We couldn't be happier with our decision to hire Jess as our wedding planner and would highly recommend her to all of our friends.

rough the entire time if I had questions she was right there to answer them. Jessica and Liz came with my fiancé and I to the venue prior to our date to see the venue, go over details, and plan where we were setting things up. Liz and Arianna were onsite the day of the wedding. We got married offsite and when we got there I couldn’t have been more happy! They did an amazing job setting up the venue just as I had pictured it. It was stunning! And they were on top of everything all night, making sure we stayed on schedule, and making sure my fiancé and I always had everything we needed. I would recommend JH Events over and over again!

ntion to detail, and flawless organization. Jess leaves no stone unturned and no detail overlooked. She anticipates everything and ensures you’re completely prepared for your big day. If I could give one piece of advice to future brides, it would be to make JHevents your first investment. This was, without a doubt, the most essential decision we made. Our wedding day ran smoothly, even with all the moving parts, and that’s entirely thanks to Jess and her team. If you have any hesitations, let this be your sign to go ahead and book them. Thanks to Jess, I was able to relax, be fully present, and truly enjoy every moment of my wedding day. I honestly can’t imagine how we would’ve done it without her.

inate with many vendors. I feel she went above and beyond any expectation I had of what a planner should do. I would highly recommend her without any reservation.

Not only is she incredibly kind and personable, she is passionate about what she does and extremely organized. She was always quick to respond to our many emails, and did a great job at keeping us calm at times we were stressed as she helped us find the appropriate solution. Even though her services didn't technically begin until the month before our wedding, she was vital in our vendor search by providing us excellent recommendations of people she had worked with previously and had a positive experience with. This was how we found the perfect person to watch our dog so we could include him in our wedding without worrying. Leading up to our wedding, Jess did an amazing job getting in contact with all of our vendors to finalize all details, along with providing us suggestions and pointing out things we had overlooked to that point. On the actual day, she and her assistant, Arianna, went above and beyond to execute our vision perfectly, with us following her detailed timeline so that we didn't have to worry about anything else. We had multiple guests approach us on the day to tell us how incredible of a job she was doing. Jess provides such an incredible value for her services and we are so lucky to have found her! We couldn't be happier with how smoothly everything went. We had the perfect wedding day and that was only possible because of Jess and her amazing team. We highly recommend Jess to everyone!

We had the pleasure of working with Jess and Alicia for our wedding. I am a pretty organized person, so l was able to book most vendors and get all the initial portion set up. The rest of the planning was the scary part. She directed us through it all, the stress was minimal and planning was truly enjoyable. The price was way more affordable than we expected it to be as well! The amount of work Jess put in those few months before the wedding is almost indescribable. She was on top of making sure we made deadlines, gave us incredible suggestions and helped get the most out of our vendors that she was already in close relationships with 95% of them from her past events. Jess made us feel comfortable in a time of chaos. On the day of the wedding, Jess and her team were REMARKABLE!! Everything was going so smoothly all day that I kept asking if there’s something that I need to do or worry about because it was the easiest day I’ve had in my life. Timing was perfect, she had every single minute of our wedding planned wonderfully where we had time alone together when we requested and structure to have all the moments exactly when we wanted them to happen. Literally NOTHING went wrong the entire day. It was my dream wedding executed by JH Events flawlessly. If I were to do it all over again, I wouldn’t have changed a thing. It was perfect because of Jess and the team at JH Events. Any party or special event I plan in my future will include Jess!!

g day she put in so much work making sure vendors were all on the same timeline, items were going to the right places, timeline was smooth. She executed our ceremony at the church perfectly. She and her assistant Ariana truly made the day special for us. I would highly recommend her for anyone that needs that extra help or wants someone to take over on wedding day so that they could enjoy their big day.

other planners, but she is what wedding dreams are made of. She’s incredibly kind, well-versed on the industry, highly organized, detail-oriented, great aesthetic eye, and truly cares about you and your wedding. My husband and I are semi workaholics, and we knew we needed a planner from start to finish, so we hired her a couple of weeks after getting engaged. We wanted to get married on our anniversary exactly a year later (April 12) so we didn’t have much time. And we were planning our CT wedding all the way from Los Angeles, where we now live. Under her full wedding package, she guided us step by step, planning every meeting, sourcing out needed information, going back and forth with vendors for us, comforting us when it came to tough decisions. She was always accessible day or night and was incredibly reliable. She has the memory of an elephant. I don’t think I’ve trusted someone so fast. And you quickly realize the amount of decisions you have to make for a wedding and the management of all of the moving pieces and she’s so skilled at juggling all of it. Our vendors would also tell me privately what a great planner she was and how she advocated for us. Then when it came to the wedding week and day of, I was so at ease because of her and her team. I knew I didn’t have to worry about anything, even last-minute concerns like rain, and she delivered. On the wedding day her and her team were there 1000% prepared and organized (with headset mics!) managing the 4-person photo/video team, our 15-person wedding party, full Catholic Mass, and the many many wedding vendors. She did it with confidence, grace, and a smile. She brought me so much comfort and peace in the planning process and on the big day! Our wedding was on time and a complete success, and I know that’s because of her. I know my wedding experience would have been 10x more stressful without her. Words can’t express how grateful we are to have worked with her—I can cry. For a year I’ve raved about her to my family so much so that they were excited to finally meet her at the wedding HAHA. I can’t wait to find excuses to work with her again!!

her couples.

made the day of go so smoothly! Jess is so easy to work with, kind and very attentive to everyones needs ... just amazing constatly helping with the timeline and making helpful suggestions throughout the day. I wish I had (Jess) JH Events at every wedding I photograph/film! I would highly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for an awesome event planner!

answered questions I didn’t even knew I had, made sure we had everything and then some covered, so the day ran as smooth as possible. The crew she brought with her on our wedding day was wonderful too! They were so fast and I never had to worry about anything. They were so much fun and made friends with our guests, kept all of the kids in my wedding party corralled (lol) and got endless compliments from all of our guests and vendors alike. Everyone was thrilled with the experience and it was an incredible day I’ll never forget. Imagining what it would have been like without Jessica is frightening!! Thank you Jessica! Our day was magic ❤️

ng ceremony at St. Patrick Church in Mystic and our wedding reception at Saltwater Farm Vineyard. With a guest count of about 175 guests, a 20-person bridal party, a full Catholic mass, and a reception with over 15 vendors, Jess’s team ensured the day ran smoothly and helped my husband and actually enjoy our wedding day! Jess was a pleasure to work with from day one. Not only is she genuinely kind and friendly to all those she interacts with, she is extremely organized. She was integral in helping us finalize our wedding planning in the month or so leading up to the big day. Jess assisted us in crafting a detailed and well-thought out timeline. With multiple locations involved during the day, a large bridal party, and multiple shuttle buses for the guests, having Jess’s assistance with the timeline was key to ensuring the day ran as smoothly as possible. By being so organized and thoughtful during the pre-wedding process, she preempted so many potential issues that might have arisen. So many guests have told us that it was the most well-run wedding that they had ever attended! On the day of the wedding, Jess and her team were simply amazing. They assisted the bridal party and our parents while getting ready, they helped set up the beautiful tables and decor at the reception, they ran point with our large team of vendors (caterer, band, florist, rentals, shuttles, photo, video—to name a few!), and ensured that we stayed on schedule throughout the day. We were ahead of schedule for much of the day (unheard of!!) largely due to Jess’s team. With so many people (guests, vendors, bridal party members) and moving parts (a pending hurricane, different shuttle routes, tons of vendors), I was nervous about the many logistics that could go wrong. Jess helped me feel prepared beforehand, and I felt so much more at ease on the wedding day knowing that her and her team would be able to tackle any problems that arose. In sum, we simply cannot speak highly enough about Jess and her team! Jess was an absolute pleasure to work with and was integral to making our wedding such an incredibly special day. We can’t wait to follow along and see all the beautiful days she helps to create in the future!!

. As our "day of coordinator," she went above and beyond our expectations by helping us the month leading up with vendors and creating our timeline. On the day of, we experienced what every couple does not want: rain...and lots of it! Jess and her team were outside setting up the wedding of our dreams and made it the most beautiful wedding we could imagine. They never once complained about the rain and made us feel so at ease about the situation. On top of their professionalism, they were so kind and positive. Their down to earth personalities really made us feel comfortable and calm throughout the whole experience. We cannot recommend them enough!! Thank you again for making our dreams come to reality!!

ughout the planning process she was continually coming up with ideas, solving problems, keeping me on track. I never worried about any detail that she was in charge of. When my wedding day came, I felt overwhelmed and like there was zero chance everything would get done in time. I could not have been more wrong. Jess and her team took care of everything, and it was all perfect. Jess is an amazing person and an incredible wedding planner. You need a planner. You need Jess. She is worth every penny and more.

nd her crew was there every step of the way. She was professional, calm and never got flustered even when multiple questions were being asked of her at the same time. She was organized and kept things on track. The day was flawless, thanks to her. You definitely need her for your wedding.

nd just made our day perfect. We had a lot of DIY for our wedding & Jess made sure everything was perfect. All of the spreadsheets that Jess provided for us really helped calm all of my nerves before the wedding. It really helped to be organized and I honestly wouldn’t even know where to start if it wasn’t for her. (We were even ahead of schedule on our wedding day… crazy) we went back and forth about if we needed a planner or not because we had a pretty low key wedding… let me tell ya, she was needed. I’ll recommend Jess & her crew to everyone I know from here on out. She made our day perfect and I couldn’t be more grateful!

ey are simply extraordinary in their ability to turn dreams into reality, creating an unforgettable wedding that perfectly represents the essence of the couple. From the moment we connected with Jessica, we knew we were in good hands. She instantly understood our desire for a non-traditional wedding and celebrated every unique aspect of our love story. We were blown away by her enthusiasm and creativity, which translated into an event that was nothing short of magical. The planning process was an absolute delight, as Jessica embraced our laidback ideas and brought them to life with finesse and style, while also keeping us miraculously on task! She listened attentively to our wishes and never hesitated to offer brilliant suggestions that only enhanced our vision. Her attention to detail was exceptional, ensuring that every little quirk and unconventional touch was woven seamlessly into the fabric of the celebration. One of the most remarkable aspects of working with Jessica, was her ability to effortlessly handle the challenges that come with weddings. She demonstrated grace under pressure and a calm demeanor, making sure that everything ran smoothly. Her dedication and professionalism were truly commendable. But beyond her undeniable talent as a wedding planner, Jessica became a dear friend throughout the process. Her genuine interest in us as individuals and as a couple made the journey even more enjoyable. We felt supported, understood, and cherished, which added an extra layer of meaning to the celebration. Our guests were equally in awe of the smoothness and easiness of the day. The joy and laughter that filled the air were a testament to Jessica’s ability to create an environment where everyone felt comfortable and connected. If you're searching for a wedding planner who will turn the wedding dreams you didn’t even know you had into a reality, then Jessica is the one. Her passion, creativity, and unwavering support are the perfect recipe for an unforgettable wedding experience. We can't thank her enough for making our special day the most cherished memory of our lives! Thank you JHEvents!!

delight to work with. Jess and her team exceeded our expectations and went above and beyond in everything they did. Jess answered every text, phone call, and Facetime. Jess even helped me change into my dress and took action during a medical emergency at the wedding. She is calm, cool, collected, and performs exceptionally well under pressure. She does a great job catering to the couple's requests while also being mindful of the vendor's needs. She is respectful to everyone she comes in contact with. Jess is so kind, fun, and a true professional. Jess works very well with the couple to bring their dream wedding to life smoothly and seamlessly. Jess does it all, and every small and big request was taken care of asap. Jess was hands down the best investment of the night! We are so thankful Jess took charge so we could have the best night of our lives without a worry in the world. Jess is extremely trustworthy and is a person of high character and value. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! You will not regret it. Not only is Jess exceptional at the work she does, but you feel like you have a dear friend cheering you on along the way!

multiple moving parts and Jess and her team handled everything perfectly. She is not only excellent at her job but she makes you feel much more at peace about everything surrounding the wedding. I also felt grateful for how open, flexible, and efficient she was during the entire process. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone planning a wedding-she's truly the best.

ning my microwedding I quickly realized there was both a lot I didn’t know and didn’t want to be responsible for on my wedding day — enter my search for a day of coordinator. I reached out to several planners all lovely, but no Jess. From the moment we corresponded via email to our first virtual meeting, I felt such a sigh of relief. Jess is responsive, knowledgeable, organized, friendly and warm. Not to mention Jess’ services for day of go way above and beyond just your wedding day. Jess organized all my wedding details on a shared workbook, reached out to confirm details with vendors, supported in onsite meetings with my venue and many other little details that she handled with such ease. On my wedding day Jess along with her assistant Liz stepped in and a managed all the details. My husband and I were able to soak in the day and make memories with loved ones because we had the best team supporting us. Jess was a major factor in our memorable wedding. If you’re even remotely considering hiring a coordinator (which I strongly suggest, it’ll be SO worth it), you should reach out to Jess! Thanks for everything, JHEvents!!

uch relief. She was so calm, cool, collected and organized, that it was so easy to enjoy the planning process and the big day! She is a pleasure to work with in every sense. She is professional, highly organized, kind, dependable, and will go above and beyond for her couples. I was able to fully enjoy our wedding day and it is all thanks to Jessica and her team! Liz, one of her assistants, is also incredible and made our day so special. We absolutely loved working with JHEvents!

n top of all the details and coordinated the vendors and made the schedule for the big day. Her hard work enabled my daughter and me to enjoy a stress-free, fun and joyful day. Working with Jessica and her assistant Liz was the best decision we made!

Every step of the way she was able to take things off of our plate and execute them in a way that was exactly what we were looking for and more. We couldn't have asked for someone more professional, flexible, kind and on top of everything. We highly recommend Jessica!!

pecial and ensured that all went well and everyone had a great time. JHEvents worked really well with the venue coordinator and blew my vision out of the water. Their eye for detail and organization skills made our day a day to remember. I am so thankful I had Jess and Liz!

ere so overwhelmed trying to get ready for our wedding and could not have done it without Jess and her team. From handling communications with our vendors to the day-of coordination, we were totally confident that Jess would make sure everything ran smoothly. The ceremony and reception set up were both done beautifully. My husband and I had such an amazing day and were able to enjoy our wedding because of Jess and Alicia and all of their hard work. Our venue owner said that they had never worked with a wedding planner before but were considering making it a requirement in the future because the JHevents team was so amazing! We cannot recommend them enough and have been singing their praises to anyone who will listen :)

inute change, text, or question. On wedding day, Jess was consistently working behind the scenes to make sure everything was smooth and seamless. We felt so supported, and as a person who is used to always doing the organizing, I felt so calm and supported with Jess there. She made our day beautiful, and our families commented multiple times how they couldn’t have imagined the day without her. We love Jess and would recommend her to anyone!!

e vendors prior to the wedding, helping with the rehearsal, making sure the setup was correct, bustling my dress etc. I am not sure what I would have done without Jessica and her assistant, Liz, especially the day of. I did not have to worry about one thing; they had everything handled and ran around to ensure the day went as planned. From helping make the last minute decision to move the ceremony indoors to running around to make sure it was perfect. My fiancé and I were far apart at the venue prior to the ceremony, Jessica and her assistant were running back and forth between us, coordinating getting ready so when the photographer for there we could start with the getting ready pictures, first look, family pictures etc. It was the best investments we made for our wedding; we did not have to worry about one thing and were able to enjoy the day. We cannot thank Jessica and Liz enough for being a huge part of our day and making everything happen with not one issue.

t. As soon as I handed over all the details, she took charge and kept me in the loop every step of the way which I really appreciated. Once the big day arrived, Jessica and Liz arrived cool, calm and collected and their energy was so contagious to everyone around them. They handled any hiccup with ease and only filled us in if needed. By the end of the day they felt like good friends, not a vendor! My husband and I cannot thank them enough for their amazing help.

e wedding and once at the venue before the wedding and all of our pre-wedding meetings were very helpful and she did a great job easing my stress. I had made some decor myself along with other supplies and put it in labeled bins. I did not have time during the day to decorate our venue and I trusted Jessica and her team to set it up the way I wanted and she did a great job. She worked with my vendors really well. She did an excellent job setting up the ceremony. I received so many compliments from guests at the wedding that her team was doing an awesome job and was everywhere working hard; everyone was very impressed. She helped troubleshoot when something didn’t go right, so the guests didn’t even notice. Jessica and her team gave us peace of mind for our wedding day coordination and I am so glad we picked her! We highly recommend JHEvents, they were wonderful to work with and helped our wedding be a success.

l wedding we had dreamed of. Hiring JHevents was the best decision we could have made! Jessica is so friendly, organized, responsive and easy to work with and took so much weight off of our shoulders. I would highly recommend JHevents to anyone planning a wedding. 5 stars!!

ing. My best friend hired her shortly after for her November 2021 wedding and I had the immense pleasure of watching Jessica work before my own wedding and it was truly magical! I have seen her from an outside perspective as a guest at my friends wedding and also as a bride for my own and she is truly a rockstar and queen of her craft! As a guest, I would say the wedding I attended went extremely smoothly. And as a bride I feel the same! Both my friend and I agreed that she was the best money we spent out of all of our vendors! She is the definition of organized. She was beyond accommodating to answer any question I had along the planning process. She worked seamlessly with all our vendors and was the height of professionalism and sophistication with the way she interacted with each vendor, family member and guest! Her beautiful personality delighted us from start to finish, she felt like a good friend that happened to be coordinating our wedding! There was no task that was too big or small for her to handle. She is the goddess of details, ensuring every tiny candle was lit, that every request was met, every concern handled swiftly. She honored every request I made, and was able to offer vast amounts of insight. She was creative and flexible with everything from location of ceremony, to changes with food or timeline. She kept me on track especially the weeks and days leading up to the wedding. She also handled the day-of with the type of finesse that I would have thought was reserved for millionaire clients. She made me feel so secure and safe on my wedding day. Anything that popped up she found a solution for immediately. My maid of honor had to drop out days before the wedding and she rearranged everything with a level of calm that I would not think possible. You never saw her break a sweat. This woman KNOWS what she is doing! Her assistant Alicia was equally as determined, professional, and a pleasure to be around as well! These ladies absolutely made my wedding what it was, and are the reason I didn’t rip all my hair out and run! My husband is just as smitten as I am and has been raving to his friends about what a perfect day it was and recommending her over and over to all his friends who are getting married. I spent a lot of time interviewing coordinators and questioning if I even needed one and the answers were all clear to me to hire Jessica from the very first phone call. I am so thrilled that I found Jessica. She is 10/10 in every arena and it would be foolish NOT to hire her if you are looking for a custom and enjoyable wedding experience! My wedding was magical and memorable and it would not have been possible without JH events! Do yourself a favor and call her to bring your wedding from average to classy, exceptional and iconic!

and a day of coordinator, make sure to hire JHEvents!

he very first conversation we had she was extremely thorough asking all the right questions and making sure to establish a personal connection with me (something that is very important to me when choosing vendors) Her bubbly personality and positive attitude made her a true pleasure to be around. She nailed down every last detail and went above and beyond what was expected. She is extremely detail oriented and organized. She put all my nerves at ease and took all the stress off of myself and my family. All day i had people coming up to me commenting on how amazing both Jessica and Alicia were. They kept everyone on track and made sure everyone was where they needed to be. I truly mean it when i say we could not have gotten through my wedding without Jessica's help. Hiring Jessica was the best decision i made when coming to finalizing my wedding plans. Thank you Jessica and of course her amazing assistant Alicia who supported us day of. We love you both and know you will continue to find great success! :) Love the Soderlund's
