If you’re scrolling through vendors looking for a wedding or event coordinator/planner, stop it. You’ve found the person you’re looking for.
My wife and I had a fairly DIY wedding...
in Joshua Tree, and as we got down to the wire we realized we wouldn’t be able to pull it all off alone. That’s when we found Jazmene. There is simply no way we would have been able to pull off our vision without Jazmene and her crew.
Right away, Jazmene got us on a very helpful and easy to follow schedule. She reminded us of things that we would’ve forgotten to do (like tipping out vendors at the end of the night) and then took it all on so we didn’t have to think about anything else, or add more onto our plate. When we were struggling to find transportation for guests in the desert, she reached out to and provided quotes from every service in the area and ultimately made it happen. She even drove the two hours from LA to go to our wedding venue and meet personally with the owner and see the space so she could plan out the vision we had shared.
We dealt with a last minute venue change about a week out from our wedding day because of eminent rain, which is a nightmare for any couple to deal with. Thankfully, Jazmene orchestrated all of the changes between our new venue and our vendors making sure everything was seamless (even showing up with her team at 9am on the day of our wedding to help make sure our vision came to life, and that even the smallest details like table scapes were laid out correctly).
Jazmene is diligent, tenacious, calming, kind, organized, conscientious, and her team is seamless and reflects her strong work ethic. Give yourself the gift of hiring Jazmene. You won’t regret choosing her and your event will be better off for it.

We hired Jazmene as a day-of coordinator for our wedding. She was hands down the BEST addition for our wedding. I cannot recommend her enough!!!
We met a few times via zoom to al...
ign on the vision of the wedding and discuss every detail. She got me set up on her planning platform to submit contracts and contact information. We met in person the day before the wedding to discuss every detail: flow, timing, vendors, locations for everything, etc. Jazmene was ON IT! She was so professional and brought up topics and questions that did not even cross my mind. The day of the wedding, she arrived at the venue and owned every single detail. She ran the whole show flawlessly! She perfectly executed our dream wedding. She did not ask me a single question throughout the duration of the wedding. It made the entire event like a fairytale. I was not involved in anything - instead I was able to drink, eat, dance and laugh the entire night. This is what a bride can only dream of!!!!!
I HIGHLY recommend hiring JMoton Event Elements for your event. I have sang her praises to each of my friends and family members in the area to use them for any event!
Any questions?

After we were engaged we soon found out that planning our dream wedding was going to take a lot more expertise and attention then we had. There was no amount of YouTube videos tha...
t could have prepared me to take on this huge task. I had been a guests at an birthday party Jazmene planned and designed and I loved her work. She explained everything to us from start to finish. She got us a great team of vendors and made sure we enjoyed our day with our family. I can’t stress enough how crucial it is to have Jazmene and her team onboard for you wedding planning and design, the entire process with seamless.

ce, decorations were placed
exactly as we envisioned, handled all minor/major mishaps (what’s a wedding day without mishaps? haha) and managed to keep me cool, calm, and collected. I don’t plan on having another wedding but would certainly hire her for parties in the future.
