We can’t say enough great things about Jillian! She literally made our wedding day one of the best days of our lives by guiding us, taking control of vendor communication, building out timelines and just making sure the day went without a hitch! She’s very responsive and just a gem of a human being! If you’re looking for a coordinator who gets the job done, I wouldn’t think twice and book her ASAP you will not regret it!
Jillian is an absolute dream to work with! My husband and I absolutely love her and could not have asked for a better wedding coordinator. From managing multiple locations, logistics, and vendors, to being "everywhere and nowhere" on the day of our wedding, Jillian just knows how to run a successful and joyous event. If you invest in one vendor that will set your mind at ease, and also make you laugh if/when something gets stressful during the planning process, pick Jillian-you won't regret it!
Jillian was an indispensable part of our wedding day - two of our biggest priorities were a seamless flow of our schedule and having decor that felt personalized. From our planning meetings, she kept us on schedule, sent us helpful pictures of our ceremony venue, and raised valuable points we hadn’t considered. At the ceremony and reception sites, she set up our decor perfectly. I feel like I could be mentally present the day of since she was behind the scenes working with all our vendors to make things happen. She is also super super kind and both of our families spoke highly of their experiences with her. I am so glad we hired her and highly recommend booking her early for wedding coordination.
I knew I wanted to hire a day-of coordinator and Jillian was exactly what I was looking for. She is on top of her sh*t and made my partner and I feel like wedding planning pros (we're not). On our wedding day we had a major issue with the vendor providing guest transportation and Jillian managed the situation without pulling me into the mess. Beyond her standard day-of coordinator services, I'd strongly encourage couples to pay for a few extra hours of Jillian's time mid-planning to review your to-do list together and make sure you are on track. I did this and she provided valuable vendor recommendations, decor suggestions, and tips for communicating complicated day-of logistics on our wedding website. 10/10!
Oh Jillian, first of all I need to say you are awesome. Hopping you know that.
I haven’t been so busy with work in my entire life, that feels weird because my Husband was the one that did the first call with Jillian because I couldn’t make it and when I got home he said, she is the one, not much to say (man) but her vibe remembers me you.
Since the beginning I would say I couldn’t realize that we were really getting married and all the details to decide and etc, because I was so worried if my family would be able to make it or not. It gave us a lot of emotional stress and was hard to decide a couple of things, because everything would change if my family wasn’t there and Jillian always knew what to say, how to support, help and understanding us. She always knew how to comfort and keep me sane with all the family drama.
Well let’s put it this way, her energy is unique and peaceful. She knows her work and how to be professional and how to be a friend. She is a lovely and happy person to talk. Really talented and made the most important day to our life’s beautiful.
Thank you Jillian, for helping walk through the church, for being supportive all the time in our reception, for fixing my dress, for constantly bringing us drinks and for making our day happen. I hope you enjoyed it too. Obrigada 🤍 Ana + Evan
Jillian is the best of the best and so knowledgeable in her field. She is also very experienced in weddings at A-Basin if you happen to be getting married there. So helpful to us months leading up to and on the big day! She helped our day flow and stay on track. Even as an organized bride, I found Jillian helped to add so much to our day! So much planning goes into the day and to be able to just sit back and enjoy is very important. Even you are thinking about a day of coordinator, I highly recommend booking her. She handled many timing details of the ceremony, setting up our wedding reception, she even pinned my ripped underskirt of my bridal gown on the dance floor, and so much more! So thankful for her.
Jillian was so instrumental in our wedding day going so smoothly. She was so easy & fun to work with! We were able to just enjoy our day & not worry about details because we knew she was on it! As a very type-A person, this is not a frequent occurrence! From safety pinning my bustle that broke on the dance floor, setting up all our decorations inside the venue, running a Zoom video call for our grandparents who couldn’t travel to 11K feet, and coordinating rides for guests who were uncomfortable riding the chairlift up to the venue, and everything in between, she knocked it out of the park!!
There's a reason Jillian only has 5 star reviews! She is by far the best in the business and made sure our wedding was a stress free celebration. She truly feels like an old friend from the moment you meet her and her level of organization is next level (and I say that as a very type A bride)! Jillian was very helpful with all of our vendors in the two months leading up to our wedding and resolved more than one snafu with calmness, professionalism, and a problem-solving mindset. We truly could not have had the wedding day of our dreams without her and I'll never stop recommending her to anyone planning a wedding!
Hiring Jillian was by far the best money we spent on our wedding. She was wonderful to work with - I'm honestly sad that our time working together went by so fast! I had so much fun getting to know her, she truly feels like a friend.
She made the last two months leading up to the wedding and the day-of stress free. She thought of so many things I hadn't that would have been definitely become a last minute issue - like ceremony sound and striking decor! I would recommend her to anyone getting married in Colorado.
Jillian was the absolute best decision we made in planning our wedding. She was responsive, organized, positive, and easy-going. I am a bit of control freak, and was so worried I would not be able to let go and enjoy my wedding day. She seamlessly built trust with us and I spent 0 percent of my wedding day thinking about the details because I knew Jillian had it all in hand. Our family, friends, and vendors all commented on how warm but also assertive she was. She effortlessly made sure our wedding was perfect and that everyone had a good time. I am still realizing all of the little things she did (she carefully organized all of our personal items and loaded them into the car within minutes of the end of the event so we could leave and enjoy our after party; nothing was left behind). EVERYONE should hire Jillian to coordinate their wedding. I don't know what we would have done without her.
I cannot imagine planning our wedding without Jillian. From day one we felt an instant connection and then having her support with the final months of planning allowed us to maintain our sanity and actually enjoy the process. She gave us peace of mind and helped us navigate last minute changes without additional stress. Above all, knowing Jillian had everything under control allowed us to truly be present on our wedding day and that is PRICELESS. We would recommend Jillian a million times over.
Working with Jillian for our wedding was hands down the best planning decision we made! Jillian is incredible - she is so organized and has such a calming demeanor. When something stressful would happen with a vendor, she was calm, cool and collected. She always had an answer and was ready to pivot anytime something didn't go as expected.
During our outdoor dinner, a thunder storm started to develop. Jillian carefully orchestrated a plan to get all of our guests inside to finish dinner. The transition was so seamless it was as if it was a part of the schedule. I honestly don't know what we would have done without her!
Planning a wedding during COVID and out of state could have been much more stressful than it was. Jillian's incredible professionalism, communication and organization throughout the whole process and the day made our wedding perfect. She is AMAZING - if we could give her 100 stars we would!
Jillian is a fantastic wedding coordinator and wonderful person! She was very communicative throughout the last couple months leading up to our wedding. The day of the wedding we didn’t have a worry in the world. We showed up and everything went smoothly with Jillian leading it all.
We’re especially grateful that she volunteered to drive us to our hotel after the wedding when our scheduled taxi didn’t show up - certainly not within the scope of her services but hugely appreciated! We highly recommend her for anyone looking for a wedding coordinator.
I don't even know how to properly put into words the greatness that is Jillian Jensen Events. Hiring Jillian was the absolute best thing we did when starting to plan our wedding-hands down. She handles everything (and I mean everything) in a timely manner, taking a huge load off of your shoulders. She responds to vendor emails, creates schedules, coordinates drop off/pick-up of materials, cake, chairs, etc, and a million other things that never even crossed my mind. I joked that our wedding would not have happened without the help of Jillian-but it's true! She plans and organizes for things that my husband an I never thought about. Not to mention her kindness and warm personality is so easy to be around. It is essential that you have Jillian Jensen Events be apart of your wedding-I cannot recommend enough!!!
Jillian was recommended by a close friend, who told me Jillian was the best decision she made in the whole wedding planning process. I figured she had to be exaggerating. Turns out she was NOT exaggerating. Jillian was and is the best decision you can make for your wedding day. Cool, calm, collected, organized, fun, enthusiastic, flexible, etc. etc. HIGHLY recommend Jillian and her team. Cant say it enough.
Jillian was excellent!! She was professional, organized and very pleasant to work with . She made the whole experience very enjoyable. She took care of so many details, which made the evening and the entire process relaxing and enjoyable for us.
I am a destination DJ in Hawaii. I had the absolute pleasure of working with Jillian for months during 2021 leading up to a Jan 2021 wedding we were scheduled to work on together. I've been in the business for over 16 years and have worked with countless wedding planners. I can count on 1 hand, the destination planners that I would recommend. Jillian is by far one of the BEST planners my team has ever worked with. She looks at the smallest details and is willing to go above and beyond the call of duty. If you are a client planning on having a destination wedding or any type of event, hire Jillian... ASAP. You will not be disappointed.
WEDDING MAGICIAN! Jillian made all of our wedding dreams come true. Not only did her and her team bring together all of the details of our design and vision to life, she helped us with some many details and aspects we would never have even thought of. The weeks leading up to our wedding were filled with calm and excitement rather than stress and logistics because Jillian had it covered. Planning a covid, out of state wedding would have been impossible without her. She was fun and supportive and brought a sense of confidence and poise to the process. She went above and beyond anything I could have hoped for in a wedding coordinator and is a MUST HIRE for any Colorado bride. Having her and her team support our day was one of the best decisions we made and allowed us to focus on having fun with our friends and family!
I would recommend Jillian a million times over to any friend getting married in Colorado!! Jillian was exactly what we were looking for and took all of the stress off of us leading up to our wedding day. She was exceptionally responsive and detail oriented and kept all of our last minute changes straight. Not only was she professional every time we spoke, but she was also a pleasure to work with! We were so impressed by her organization and how smoothly things ran at our rehearsal and on the day of! She chased down hard to reach vendors for us and generally just took care of all of the coordination which really allowed us to enjoy our day (and weeks leading up) to the fullest!! There were so many things she was doing behind the scenes on the day-of that I didn't even know about to make sure everything went smoothly. I truly cannot recommend Jillian enough! She's amazing!
Jillian was an amazing planner!! We are so happy with our decision to use her for our wedding. We knew right from the initial interview that she was the perfect choice. She was prepared, knowledgeable, and friendly. We had her for our “month of” coordinator. She kept in touch periodically prior to that point and gave us great vendor recs and was quick to respond to any question we had early on. Once we started working together more regularly she was on top of everything. She reached out to vendors for us, gave us reminders on the timeline, had several meetings with us to keep everything on track and organized. She has a great personality- super friendly and easy to talk to. She’s smart, loves what she does, and remains calm under pressure. She set up all of my wedding decor and took everything down at the end. I had one issue with a vendor during my wedding and she helped coordinate some of the communication afterwards. She is very talented at what she does and you would be crazy not to choose her for your wedding!
Jillian Jenson deserves 10 stars! She was truly magical and pulled every single aspect of our wedding together and brought our dream to life. She was constantly in communication with all our vendors to make everything run seamlessly. The day of the wedding we had to move our timeline around a bit and she did it so easily and without even a bump in the road. Her hard work and effort allowed us to truly enjoy our wedding day and it was the most magical day of our lives. Hiring Jillian may be the best decision I made for the wedding!
Jillian went above and beyond as our Day of Coordinator! We signed up to have her begin working with us about 2 months before the wedding and it was one of the best decisions we made throughout the process.
Jillian is warm, thoughtful, attentive and detail oriented. Leading up to our wedding we emailed, texted and called often-sometimes daily. Jillian drove to Estes Park to do a run through of our venue because she hadn't been there before. We were so impressed by this effort and willingness to make our day flow as seamlessly as possible. She also made it a point to attend every single one of our final vendor calls and saved the day when hiccups arose the day of our wedding with our florist. Her assistant Megan was lovely and also great to be around.
Looking back, we can't imagine having anyone else as our Day of Coordinator! We miss Jillian already :)
Jillian far exceeded expectations for a wedding coordinator. She took a great deal of stress off of us leading up to our wedding and craftily navigated our wedding day behind the scenes so we could focus on enjoying each and every moment. She was very detailed in all aspects of our wedding. During the planning/preparation process, she utilized her vast experience to ask questions that we did not think about. She filled in all of the blind spots that were unbeknownst to us during the planning process. She thought through each and every part of our day of timeline to ensure seamless transitions throughout the day. This also ensured all of our vendors were on the same page.
We were very impressed with her interactions with all of our vendors. She deftly navigated between trusting each vendor to rely on their experience to know what would work best while also establishing expectations and following through on our vision.
We had a good amount of decor at our wedding and we dropped it off with her the day before at our rehearsal dinner. Each and every piece was perfectly in place the day of our wedding and we know it was because of Jillian and her team. We also utilized her sister company Jillian Jensen Creative for some of our decor. Each piece was exactly as we expected and we did not have to worry about anything being damaged in shipping/delivery.
Jillian took notes on the most detailed things (bride did not like food touching on plate, 3 year-old flower girl's stuffed animal waiting for her at her seat at ceremony, pronunciations of each person's name of bridal party at reception, etc.). She also drew from her experience and provided great input that was priceless. She recommended that we take 30 minutes after the ceremony to relax in our bridal suite at the venue during cocktail hour. Your wedding day is very exciting, but you don't have much time to relax. This 30 minutes was something that we cherished because it was one of the only times we had during the day when we were by ourselves and it was right after our ceremony. We would have never have done this if Jillian did not recommend it. She also had our favorite drinks waiting for us when we arrived in the bridal suite.
Jillian is extremely nice and caring. She truly loves what she does and it shows through her sincerity. Each time we interacted with her was a pleasure. She maintained this kindness in dealing with each vendor and any stress that went her way. She was very level headed which made our day as stress-free as possible.
We can not recommend Jillian Jensen Events enough. She was the glue that brought everything together and made our wedding day the best day of our lives. Hiring her and her team was the best decision we made prior to our wedding.
From the moment we met Jillian she was confident and made us feel comfortable. This is how we knew she would be a great fit for us! We were not familiar with all things wedding and Jillian was patient and helped us through everything and always answered our questions. She was also extremely organized and on the day of our wedding everything was absolutely PERFECT! Everything went off without a hitch and that is all thanks to Jillian. We can’t thank her enough for helping us throw the best stress free wedding!!
I had the best experience working with Jillian Jensen as the day of coordinator for our wedding. She was incredibly organized and had great communication throughout the whole process. She helped me stay stress free on the wedding day despite some unexpected weather and made the day go completely seamlessly. I had complete faith in her and didn’t have any worries the whole day. I can’t say enough wonderful things about Jillian and would recommend her to any brides looking for a wedding planner!
We could not be more grateful for the experience we had with Jillian as our wedding coordinator! We used her day-of services, but she provided so much more than that. Her expertise, flexibility, and ability to see the whole picture made our day feel absolutely perfect. She helped us navigate multiple curve balls thrown our way, through COVID, wildfires, and unexpected day-of hurdles. She went above and beyond for our entire day, and her communication throughout the entire process made us confident that our day was going to be seamless and just what we envisioned. We cannot recommend Jillian and her team enough! They are the absolute BEST!
Jillian was incredible, she was my day of planner but felt like so much more than that. Incredibly organized, attentive, and a joy to work with. My wedding day was seamless with no issues or stress!
The kindest, most organized and hardworking woman out there. So grateful we found Jillian to help us navigate planning a wedding, postponing due to C19, and rescheduling.
In the words of my father in law, Jillian has such poise in the face of decision-making and the perfect skill of managing small and large details. We all enjoyed working with her for both events. There is no adequate way to say that "we could not have managed this successful celebration without you."
We also used Jillian's Creative company to create the table numbers, bar signs and other signage for our event. They were all stunning and there was such ease in having her bring these along to our venue.
There is no way that we would've had such a seamless wedding day if it wasn't for Jillian. She was on top of everything from pre-wedding day emails with vendors (she would respond to emails before we even got a chance to read them, she's that good!) to setup and communication the day of. We got married at Arapahoe Basin Ski Area, which presents some logistical challenges in and of itself, and Jillian and her team handled them beautifully. We would highly, highly recommend Jillian and her planning services if you're looking for an efficient, stress-free and memorable wedding day!
Jillian and her team were amazing! We were beyond impressed with Jillian. She helped us plan an amazing destination wedding in Keystone, Colorado. She helped with vendors, recommendations and advice. It’s not easy planning a wedding, let alone a destination wedding…we couldn’t of done it without Jillian! We were very impressed with her professionalism, and she was always organized! We highly recommend Jillian and her team!
Jillian was incredible! She made my day so smooth, and fun, and just as I imagined it! She was organized and prepared and took the time to understand and fulfill our vision for the day. Would recommend her a thousand times over!
There are not enough words to describe how wonderful our experience with Jillian has been. Jillian was an absolute life saver for our wedding. We were so overwhelmed and stressed trying to plan a safe wedding during the pandemic. Jillian saved my sanity more times than I can even count. She was on top of all vendors to make sure they complied with extra precautions we had to make sure our guests were safe. She was so helpful throughout the entire planning process. She has the knowledge and experience to ask all the questions that I hadn’t even thought of and make sure all my bases were covered. She also was so quick with all of her responses even when I sent her multiple back to back emails daily. I do not think my wedding would have been nearly as successful if not for her. She truly made it the best day of my life.
We can’t say enough good things about working with Jillian. We were lucky to already be working with Jillian when the pandemic hit, and we wouldn’t have felt confident moving forward with our event if we didn’t have Jillian to work with through each step of the way. Her organization, attention to detail and insight were key to our event operating smoothly. I like to be very involved in the details, but it was easy to entrust the vendor contacts and day of details to Jillian. When COVID-19 became longer than the two-week lockdown we all first expected, Jillian was there each step of the way discussing what we wanted to do, if we wanted to move forward and how that could happen with regulations changing day by day. One the day of the event, you would have thought Jillian had been working pandemic weddings her whole career. One of our best decisions was hiring Jillian – everyone who talked to me while wedding planning knew her by name as I constantly had good things to say about her and insight to pass along from her. I would recommend her to anyone!
Jillian is a goddess! If you are hesitating at all the have a day of coordinator JUST DO IT! We altered our wedding budget to hire Jillian and it was without a doubt the best choice we made in wedding planning. She is so sweet and easy to work with and makes you feel completely at ease on your day as you know everything is in good hands. Can’t say enough about how wonderful Jillian is!
We are due to get married in June 2020, right in the middle of the COVID crisis. While everything is up in the air (including whether or not we can hold our wedding as intended), Jillian has been incredibly kind and helpful. She has provided great advice/insight, as well as flexibility. This has been a challenging time for all, especially when trying to plan a wedding. Jillian has hands down been the best to work with of all of our vendors. She has shown genuine care for our wellbeing and been supportive of what is going to be best for us. I would recommend Jillian to anyone!
From the moment I started corresponding with Jillian, she was diligent, professional, and fun to work with. She has an incredible attention to detail and truly makes you feel special. Jillian was such a pleasure to meet in person during my wedding walk-through and within a day of our meeting, had my wedding schedule, vendor list, and all event details compiled within an easy-to-read PDF. She was also the first person to send a card with a warm letter of congratulations on our upcoming wedding, including some delicious caramels for my fiancee and I to enjoy. It really made our wedding start to feel real and was a lovely personal touch. I would highly recommend Jillian as a day-of-coordinator to any bride or anyone looking for someone to manager a special event.
Jillian. Is. The. Best. A friend of mine recommended her and I am so incredibly happy we took that recommendation. We hired Jillian for “day-of” coordination, but what it really meant was that she took everything off my plate about two months out from the wedding day. She handled vendors and questions and details like it was a piece of cake, and she anticipated so many questions and needs that I didn’t even know I would have. The wedding went off without a hitch. I mean it was absolutely flawless. I felt relaxed and happy and absolutely 100% confident in her on my wedding day, and I am truly so beyond grateful I can’t even express. I didn’t have to manage one single thing, I simply got to enjoy. What a gift that was. If you’re wondering who you should have on your team for your wedding, look no further.
Jillian was the dream day of coordinator. Jillian paid such close attention to every detail, asked questions to the venue/vendors that I would have never thought about asking, and made sure I felt ready for the big day. I didn't have to think about anything the day of other than getting ready and showing up because she had everything handled. I HIGHLY recommend Jillian - she is incredibly professional, kind, and has a great sense of urgency.
Working with Jillian was a DREAM! She was absolutely amazing, kind, and wonderful! Jillian assisted in my sister's wedding, and she did not have an easy wedding - it was outside in a blizzard, with lots of details. Jillian was there with a constant smile, and was incredibly helpful. I've planned a number of weddings in the past, and I was concerned it would be hard for me "let go" day of, especially for my sister's wedding - but Jillian had everything covered and then some! I could not recommend Jillian more, I would work with her again in a heartbeat, she made everything so enjoyable :)
We used Alyssa, one of Jillian's lead coordinators, for our December wedding and we could not have been happier. Our day was flawless, like actually flawless. Everything was so smooth it was almost weird! Not only did she manage the day so perfectly, but she is such a sweet person to be around and really made my family and friends feel supported. I don't know what we would have done without her! I highly recommend Jillian and her team for any future bride!
No words cannot express how much of a blessing it was to work with Jillian to execute our perfect wedding. After getting off the phone with Jillian for our first "meeting", I immediately called my husband and told him that I was in love with someone else too- and her name was Jillian! She was such a calming force in the weeks leading up to the wedding, coordinating with all vendors, helping us with the smallest of details, and keeping us sane the entire way. I was sad when the wedding day was over because I had so much fun planning alongside her. Our wedding at The Woodlands in Morrison, CO was truly flawless thanks to Jillian and her team.
Jillian was there for every question/little detail I had. She went above and beyond on our wedding day keeping everyone organized and happy!! We couldn't have found a better person to help us on our wedding day!
Working with Jillian as our day-of-coordinator was one of THE best decisions I made throughout the entire wedding process. She was incredibly kind, professional, easy-going, sweet and organized!! I didn't have a bridal party or any family locally, so I did much of the planning for our wedding on my own - talk about stress. Jillian having my back for the last 2-3 months leading up to the wedding saved what little sanity I had left! Our wedding was only about 50 people total, but still had many moving parts.
Through phones calls, emails and in-person meetings she was 100% on top of things when I needed her most. She was there with me down to the last moment and beyond, fixing my veil and making sure things ran smoothly through the reception. We had our wedding at the Denver Botanic Gardens with 50 people in attendance and it was perfect. Our guests had an amazing time and I had many comments about how smoothly everything went.
If you're looking for a coordinator or a planner, LOOK NO FURTHER! Jillian is your girl.
We chose to get a coordinator for our wedding because we wanted to make sure that our families and obviously ourselves could enjoy a stress free day and we are so glad that we did! We had Alyssa as our coordinator and she was AMAZING! It was such a breath of fresh air knowing that someone was supporting and backing up your day just as you would. Alyssa was organized, involved and responsive. She calmed me down when I needed a little reassurance and she always made sure we were on time and taken care of. We knew everything would go smoothly having Alyssa there and it absolutely did!
Jillian coordinated our wedding this past weekend at Camp Hale and I know that we COULD NOT have done it without her. My husband (!) and I were finishing our last year of grad school across the country and didn’t have much extra time to devote to wedding planning. She made sure that we knew what we needed to do as well as the deadlines to make decisions and kept us on track. Camp Hale is challenging because there’s no cell phone service there but Jillian was cool as a cucumber the entire time! Plus we had a dance party that went until 1am and she somehow made it through the whole day :) not to mention she is the speediest email responder of all time. She was our “month of” coordinator but she always responded to all of my questions leading up to the wedding, even way before a month out. We give Jillian our highest recommendation!
I could probably talk for days and days about how amazing Jillian was during our wedding planning process, basically, if I didn’t marry my now husband, I would probably marry Jillian. She is AMAZING! She took everything off our plates the last few months leading up to the wedding. Not only that, she was always accessible over email before our contract even started to bounce ideas off of. I’m pretty type A and have worked in events in the past, so I really needed someone who could beat me to the punch and someone who had an answer for EVERYTHING, that was/is Jillian. She is a wizard at logistics and timelines and made the last few weeks of our lives leading up to the wedding so much less stressful. Our band also cancelled 2 weeks before (basically any bride’s worst nightmare), and Jillian just went to work. She sourced bands, quotes, talked to everyone and anyone, to make sure we didn’t panic. I can’t say enough wonderful things about her work ethic and her as a person. Do yourself a favor and HIRE HER FOR YOUR WEDDING.
Jillian was absolutely wonderful to work with. She made everything stress free and was easy to communicate with from start to finish. Our wedding day went perfectly as planned and we didn't have to think or worry about a single thing. Jillian is really professional and organized which makes her very good at what she does! I would highly recommend working with Jillian to help make your wedding planning easy and stress free. Thank you so much Jillian :)
We hired Jillian for our July wedding in Keystone. She was absolutely amazing, and essential to our wedding’s success!!! She made the whole month before the wedding so much less stressful. Handling timelines, coordinating with vendors, and making sure everything was ready for the actual day. She made the actual day so carefree, and we had nothing to worry about! She is so organized and helpful, and I would highly recommend 😊 Thanks again Jillian!
We had the absolute pleasure of working with Alyssa from Jillian Jensen Events. Alyssa was INCREDIBLE! From the day I met her, I knew we could trust her. She was always so quick to answer all of our questions and truly cared to get to know us and our vision for our big day. She was organized, thoughtful, and had great communication with all of our vendors. Alyssa made sure that our wedding was everything we wanted and more! I honestly do not know what we would have done without her. We cannot thank her and Jillian Jensen Events enough for making our wedding day so perfect! I highly, highly recommend working with Jillian Jensen Events!
Jillian was very quick to communicate with us and our vendors. She kept us well organized for our destination wedding which helped keep a lot of pressure off of us. We absolutely loved her assistance - it is definitely the best money we spent for our wedding!
From the moment we met Jillian, my husband and I knew we wanted/needed her to help us coordinate our wedding. BEST. DECISION. EVER. I cannot express enough how amazing Jillian is at what she does. She is hella detail-oriented, knows the 'ins and outs' of the Colorado wedding scene, and is a beautiful blend of creative/celebratory and pragmatic. It was a genuine pleasure to work with her because she is so warm, thoughtful, and positive, and honestly - I had a surprisingly amount of post-wedding sadness because I had so much fun working with her! Remember: Wedding planning is both fantastic AND stressful (no matter how good you are at event planning or how 'low key' you may think you are!) Hire a reputable, hard-working team to help you bring things to life and to put your mind at ease on wedding day. And hire Jillian to lead that team!!!
Jillian is the absolute best!! I was definitely not on top of my wedding planning but luckily, Jillian was! She is super organized, professional, and to top it all off, she is the sweetest person! My fiance and I went back and forth on whether or not to get a day of coordinator (girl on budget over here) but she was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding. Jillian made the day so easy and enjoyable! Even our guests kept commenting on how great she was!!
Jillian is AMAZING. Hands down, one of the best decisions of our wedding. I'm a very organized person (one that always says.."ya, I could have done that better") BUT Jillian was ON IT. I recall telling my husband, wow - she's a bad ass!!! On the day of our wedding, I learned that I had forgotten to pack my wedding shoes. I texted Jillian, and she showed up at the venue with two different pairs to choose from. Like is she even real?!?! 10/10 would recommend hiring Jillian for your wedding. She will make the day effortless.
We highly recommend Jillian Jensen Events for wedding coordination. We had their lead coordinator Samantha Tatum as our coordinator. She did an incredible job!! She was very organized, creative, flexible, and professional. The entire wedding day went SO smoothly because of her. I am so thankful that we hired her!! I would do it again in a heartbeat!! HIGHLY recommend!!
We absolutely loved working with Jillian! I wanted a day of coordinator and when I found Jillian and her business was specific to what I wanted I knew I wanted to work with her. We couldnt have found a better day of coordinator. I loved how responsive she was, she worked well with my vendors and she cared about our special day! I cant recommend hiring Jillian enough. Thank you Jillian for making out day the best!!!
Alyssa was AMAZING. It became evident even before the wedding how helpful having a day of coordinator would be. There is so much planning and coordinating that goes into your wedding day and Alyssa made ours wonderful. Our family and friends were able to enjoy our wedding without having to worry about helping with set up or any details. My fiancé and I were able to enjoy our day to the fullest. Alyssa is so detail oriented and goes the extra mile to make everything perfect. Worth every penny and I can’t recommend Jillian Jensen events more.
Oh my gosh, I cannot say enough good things about Alyssa and the whole Jillian Jensen Events team. Alyssa was absolutely wonderful from the start. She is super organized, fun and handled every vendor and detail with such ease. Our wedding day was beyond perfect and it was largely due to Alyssa! Leading up to the wedding, Alyssa was so available for us to answer any minor question and address any detail. On our wedding day, I didn't worry about a thing because I knew Alyssa could handle it all. I can't recommend her enough!!
Where do I even begin with Jillian? From the start of our contract to the very last minute I was at my reception, Jillian was above and beyond incredible. I am a highly organized, Type A control freak and was melting down pretty badly a few months leading up to the wedding. I had barely delegated a single task throughout my entire 1.5 years of wedding planning. Passing off the torch to Jillian could not have been a more comforting, painless process. She took complete control, it was like a properly trained captain had finally taken control of the ship. Jillian is my insanely organized, exceptionally communicative counterpart. I don't think I ever waited more than a few hours for an email response from her. She was 100% on top of my vendors, assuring that everybody was where they were supposed to be on our wedding day. Not only is Jillian incredibly organized, but she is just a downright kind, easygoing person. She was empathetic to my crazy "anxiety bride" personality, never made me feel like I was being a bridezilla with my concerns or requests, and just put me at such ease during the two months leading up to my wedding. I had booked a brand new venue which was under construction and EXTREMELY behind on their completion (they were literally finishing up projects the morning of my wedding), and Jillian totally took control with them. She didn't even bat an eye. I probably would have been scrambling to find a new venue a week before the wedding if it weren't for her total and complete management of the situation. I assure you, her prices are well under market and worth every penny. HIRE JILLIAN! She was my mental health savior, she can be yours too.
Thank you Jillian, for our spectacular wedding and everything you did for us leading up. Words can barely describe how appreciative we are.
Jillian was so helpful, friendly, and prompt which made communicating such a breeze! My day of coordinator Samantha was amazing, she made the day so smooth and literally everything was perfect! They gave such great advise on a planning front which stemmed from clearly lots of experience with wedding planning, and also made my dream day a reality!
Jillian was truly indispensable. She was an absolute pleasure to work with and instantly put us at ease the minute we met her. While my wife planned an amazing wedding, there are so many of the small details that we were dreading and/or unaware of that she completely smoothed out. We could not have been happier to have found her and would gladly have paid triple for her services, she was incredible and worth it. Thank you Jillian!
Jillian was absolutely amazing!! She made everything run so smoothly that myself and my family did not have a single worry on my wedding day. She was honestly the single best decision we made throughout the entire planning process. Not only is she incredible at what she does, she is an absolute joy to work with. If you are thinking of hiring her, I cannot more strongly recommend it! We all absolutely loved her and cannot thank her enough for her hard work. Would recommend her without reservation to anyone looking for a day of wedding planner!
We hired Jillian to help us coordinate our wedding at the St. Julien Hotel in Boulder last weekend and could not have been more impressed with her ability to execute everything we wanted. Jillian is extremely professional, organized, insightful, and fun to be around. She went above and beyond all expectations and was the primary reason that our wedding day ran so smoothly. We can't thank her enough and highly recommend her for anyone looking for a fantastic wedding coordinator!
We absolutely loved having Jillian as our day of coordinator! Although most of her work was done the day of the wedding we were able to start working with her two months out. Planning a wedding from out of state can be extremely stressful, but Jillian helped so much with aaaall of the things that we were clueless about. Everything from timelines, contacting vendors to make sure everyones on the same page, and answering all the questions you don't think about until you're planning a wedding of your own. Jillian was a huge asset to our day and I would 10/10 recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding planner in the area!
Jillian was amazing to work with!! My husband and I were on the fence about hiring a coordinator. But due to how we wanted our wedding I knew there was no way we could have our wedding the way we wanted and do it ourselves. From the initial phone call I knew I wanted to work with Jillian and her team for my wedding. She immediately put any fears I had to ease. Every meeting with her, she was very thorough and detailed. Whether it be taking notes about the space, getting paperwork to vendors, or just simply remembering small personal details about yourself. She was always on time and always answered emails in a timely fashion. She always asked what we wanted or how we wanted things to look. Which meant a lot to me as it’s easy for everyone else’s opinions to become over whelming. The night before the wedding she came to rehearsal (our church had its own coordinator) just to ease my mind which was amazing and felt so good to have her there. The day of the wedding she came to check on me was there when I got in my dress. Seeing her the day of the wedding was instantly a huge stress relief. She absolutely made our reception a dream. She and her team decorated the space beautifully. She made sure the night ran smoothly and coordinated with the DJ all night. She made sure my husband and I were happy all night. She and her team also tore down everything at the end of the night and cleaned the space. I would 100% would choose Jillian over and over again. She is absolutely amazing to work with. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone.
We had such an amazing experience working with Jillian Jensen Events! We had already booked a day-of coordinator, but because our wedding was at City Park Pavilion where no setup and teardown was provided, it became clear we needed help with this so we wouldn't have to worry on our big day. Jillian offers event staffing which we were thrilled about! She was so professional and responsive, easy to work with, and her team truly pulled together our wedding and made it so that we didn't have to think about a single thing day-of! I would highly recommend this service if you need event setup help for your wedding - perfect for DIY weddings and brides on a budget :) thank you Jillian!
Our day of coordinator Sam from Jillian Jensen Events was incredible. She was hard working, easy to communicate with, and always calm cool and collected. She was attentive to detail and really listened to how we wanted our day to go. Most importantly, she executed it perfectly! Thanks Sam and Jillian Jensen events, we will never forget you or our day!
Jillian is truly the best person to have by your side in the months before your big day and on the big day itself! Jill is so organized, timely, calming and knowledgeable. She makes a point to get to know you and what you want and helps you advocate for that as you wrap up the details and hand them over for day of coordination. On the day of Jill checked in and made herself available but also wasn't in the way. I felt at complete ease handing the coordination over to her. Brides that love to plan and are detail oriented shouldn't be worried about "letting go" for the day if you have Jillian Jensen Events there for you. Jill handled all the day's events perfectly and even tackled some unexpected things too. A plus- our friends and family loved her too :) Jill made me feel special and that all of my personal details for the wedding were important and she cherished them as I did. Jillian is the best and all brides should have that experience with a coordinator!
We had a lot of things go wrong in planning our wedding, but hiring Jillian was absolutely not one of them! She was a lifesaver.
When our outdoor ceremony site ended up being under 6 inches of snow the day before our wedding, we set off to find a new spot. After settling on a location, Jillian called parks and rec to ensure we could use the space, which was a huge relief since I had a lot of on my plate with the change up.
On the day of the wedding, Jillian ensured we stayed on time and setup all the details. Our reception space was beyond my wildest dreams. It looked right out of a magazine, which was due to the effort and care of Jillian and her team.
Also Jillian started working with me two months out, which ensured all my other vendors got to know her and she got to know me. She took over the communication with vendors on scheduling any day-of drop offs and pickups. Hiring Jillian was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding. It allowed me to focus on my future husband, friend and family the day of the wedding instead of small details!
Jillian was our day of coordinator for our wedding, and the day would have been chaos without her. I think the best way to sum our experience is an example of her innovation and attention to detail. Our reception venue was two floors, and towards the end of the evening she hit two bird with one stone: she realized upstairs was cooler, so she suggested we move the dance party up there and while the downstairs area was unoccupied she helped break down stuff so we weren't in a rush at the end of the night. I would highly recommend Jillian, you won't regret hiring her!
Jillian is the best! We ended up moving across the country 10 months before our wedding, which would be super stressful for most people, but Jillian made it so easy for us! She helped us find and price out different vendors, gave us suggestions, and handled all communication with our venue/vendors/band/photographer. She legitimately handled every aspect of our wedding, and did it seamlessly and beautifully. She’s a wonderful person, and I would 100% recommend her to every couple.
Reviewing Jillian feels very silly. Over the course of our wedding planning she has been a friend, a confidant, and an unbelievable ally. She’s never felt like an employee so the thought of rating her like one seems very unusual. Simply put, our wedding would have been a disaster without her. We are pretty intelligent and self-sufficient people, so you might think that throwing a big party wouldn’t be so daunting a task, but you can’t imagine the details you never thought you’d have to consider. She made sure that every detail (and there were a lot) was special and personal and well presented. We had a very unique, non-traditional wedding and she dealt with every hang up and speed bump like she’d done it a million times before. If you want your wedding to go smoothly, hire a coordinator, if you want a coordinator that cares as much about your wedding as you do, hire Jillian. Oh, and I should mention that she had a baby a few weeks before our wedding date and still showed up, personally, The day of. She’s a rockstar. Thanks Jillian!
My husband and I had a very particular vision for our wedding. We wanted something non-traditional, small and intimate, including a weekend of celebrations, not just one day, for friends and family who were all traveling to our wedding from out of state. It was difficult to find a wedding a planner who didn't seem disingenuous to our ideas, or pushy. We knew we needed someone capable, willing to take charge but not take over. As soon as we found and met Jillian, we had an immediate connection with her. Jillian is a warm, patient, understanding, genuine, kind-hearted person. We worked with her for a full year planning our wedding and she was there for us every step of the way. She greeted every idea, no matter how logistically difficult or different, with enthusiasm and support. She recommended the most incredible venue for our family and friends to spend the weekend and spent months coordinating the logistical details of everyone's lodging. When our wedding day finally arrived, it was more incredible than we had even planned. I can honestly say that not one minute of it was stressful or chaotic! Jillian's presence on our wedding day was one of a friend, not just a coordinator. She was a familiar, supportive, reassuring smile with big hugs and a "We've got this," attitude. Jillian brought our wedding day dreams to life and we couldn't be more grateful!
Nicole was amazing! She was super helpful and organized. She listened to all the details that I asked for and executed them beautifully. The morning of our wedding day it rained so we had to relocate our ceremony location. Nicole was able to help switch ceremony locations and it turned out even more beautiful than the original plan! Thank you Nicole and the Jillian Jensen events team for making our wedding amazing!
Jillian was more amazing than we could have imagined! We hired her for day of wedding coordination for our wedding in Vail, Colorado. The day was absolutely perfect, we could not have done it without her! The ceremony and reception flowed so smoothly because she was on top of everything. My mom said that she relaxed as soon as she met Jillian and handed the wedding accessories over to her during the rehearsal the day before. As soon as you meet Jillian you realize that she is very detailed oriented and loves her Job. We hired her husband Erik to officiate and we were blown away by Erik's ceremony. We feel very lucky to find such a great officiant on short notice. Erik starting the ceremony with a quote from my now husband, which was so sweet. We highly recommend Jillian Jensen Events!
Where do I begin with Jillian?? We began working with her more than a year out from our wedding date. She helped us every step along the way, from finding our venue to putting the finishing touches on our table settings. Jillian and her staff were responsive, attentive and supportive throughout the entire planning process. She helped us flush out our vision, found the right vendors to make it a reality, kept us on budget...and then helped manage all the moving pieces leading up to our big day. When I saw our ceremony and reception space for the first time on the day of our wedding, I was speechless. It was everything I dreamed of, and the entire evening continued to impress both my husband and I, and our guests. I can't recommend Jillian Jensen Events enough for your wedding or your next event!
Jillian was truly so wonderful to work with! She and her team were organized, fun and on-point with every single detail. We truly didn't have to worry about any of the last minute, day-of stress-ers because Jillian took care of it all. Of all the days you just want to sit back and enjoy the moments, the people, etc. it's your wedding. It was easy for us to do that because we had Jillian. She is certainly hard working, professional and GREAT at her job, but we also felt like working with her was like working with a good friend as she was truly invested in making it good/fun/beautiful for us, her energy is amazing and it was evident that she just wanted us to enjoy the day. We are grateful beyond belief that we found her and couldn't recommend her and her team more. Thanks Jillian -- you are such a TRUE gem!
We really loved working with Jillian Jensen Events. Alyssa was organized, punctual, and down to earth. She was very detail orientated to make sure that our day unfolded just like we imagined. She worked behind the scenes, and the day/night ran extremely smoothly. We had a snafu with me leaving some table numbers at home and she along with our caterer came up with a quick solution. Our van also forgot to come and pick us up at cocktail hour to take us over to Vail to take photos, so Alyssa jumped in the car with us and stayed back to make sure we didn't get a parking ticket while we took our photos. At the end of the night, she helped clean up, pack up the cars, and organize boxes that needed to be returned to our florist. We appreciated all the hard work Alyssa put it, and we couldn't have had a more amazing day!
We worked with Sam and she did a great job putting together a timeline and arranging the mess of vendors my husband and I picked on the fly. Since it was our first time getting married and because we're pretty easy going we had no idea what we were doing. Sam made that work for us and made it a relatively stress free and super amazing day!
We cannot say enough great things about Alyssa, our coordinator. She was in contact with us as our day-of-coordinator starting about 2 weeks before our big day. She handled all things big and small from that point forward. I am so grateful we chose Jillian Jensen Events and would do it all over again. Do not go anywhere else for your event planning needs! Jillian Jensen Events is simply the best.
I found Jillian about 7 months into our 15 month engagement, planning a wedding for about 100 guests in April. I had picked all the big vendors but had no plan on how to execute my smaller ideas and while my venue did include a day of coordinator, I just felt that I needed someone on my team and in my corner. I am so thankful that person was Jillian. Not only is Jillian highly responsive, on the ball, and professional, she's also incredibly personable and caring. I know that wedding industry folks do wedding after wedding and somehow never tire of it, but Jillian made me feel like she was my closest wedding confidant. I hired Jillian for Day-Of-Coordination services and I feel that I got much more than that. Jillian took countless emails (and eventually texts) from me to hear me out on ideas, give me guidance, and helped me stick to my vision (and budget!). My now husband's response to paying this additional cost was resistance at first, but after our first meeting with Jillian he was blown away by her organization and felt that we were in the best hands. Fast forward to the month before our wedding, Jillian had a meeting with us to make sure we were on track with everything, made a master day of timeline, reached out to confirm with all our vendors and made them feel welcome to our wedding and in the know of what was going on, she also ran our final walk through at our venue and our rehearsal. It was of the most extreme value and consider it the best money we spent for our wedding when all said and done. I invite you to consider if you are NOT planning to hire a wedding planner I invite you to consider the following: who will help you develop and execute an inclement weather plan? Who is going to confirm with all your vendors and make sure they know when and where to show up and cover timelines and expectations with them? Who will get the bride her flat shoes after the hour spent in heels when she needs to be with all other guests and wedding party taking group photos? Who will make sure your dress gets bustled and your groom gets to where this is happening so you can make your grand entrance together? Who will make sure that your overnight bags make it into your exit vehicle and to the hotel with you? Please, do yourself a favor and do not put these important, but time consuming tasks onto your family. Hire a true professional, hire Jillian Jensen Events. Thank you Jillian!
I honestly think hiring Jillian was the best decision we made about our wedding! She was with us every step of the way with every vendor we chose. She managed our budget perfectly and came up with great ideas to save us money. If we weren’t 100% sure on vendors she found us new ones that better fit our style. She has great connections to many fantastic vendors in Colorado. Not only did she keep us on tract the entire year before the wedding, she did day-of -coordination flawlessly. Our day was stress free and we had the BEST DAY EVER thanks to her and her team. Not only was she amazing she was super affordable.
We can’t thank her enough! We highly recommend her services!
Jillian did a fantastic job for our wedding! She is well organized and her wedding expertise is evident in everything she does. She thinks of questions and details that I would not have thought of. She helped me to pull of the wedding of my dreams seamlessly. I would recommended Jillian Jensen Events to anyone looking for a day of coordinator who can do it all!
I worked with Sarah from Jillian Jensen Events for day-of coordination for my wedding. I can't say enough about how wonderful Sarah is. She truly made everything on the wedding day absolutely perfect, from the being maestro over the day's events, to remembering the small details. I received so many compliments that evening and the next day from my family and friends about how amazing Sarah was, and how helpful and kind she was to our guests. It was so great not having to worry about anything on our wedding day because I knew that Sarah had my back and was going to take care of us - and she did!
We used Jillian for our Day of Coordinator for our wedding. Jillian was so amazing to work with. She was so calm and collected the whole day which really made me feel great. I would highly recommend Jillian to anyone getting married in Colorado! She took care of all of our setup and take down so my family was all able to enjoy the day and not worry about anything. Jillian made our day run so smoothly!!
