Jenya was so lovely and professional to work with! I was an out of state bride who needed help navigating the UT bridal market, and she did a great job dedicating her time and energy to help make my wedding vision come to life. I would highly recommend working with Jenya! My wedding was gorgeous all thanks to the partnership with Jenya.

Jenya and her team are a dream to work with! We loved the different packages she offers that allowed us to fit our exact needs. Jenya was very responsive on email and text - from quick questions, to vendor recommendations, to general updates. She meet with us monthly (or as we needed) to ensure our wedding was on track - helped talk us through the flow of the day and ensured all the details were ironed out. On the day her assistance Violetta was amazing! Violetta was detail oriented to ensure everything was set up and nothing was overlooked. She was a life saver and did an emergency run to help get some supplies needed for the wedding. She helped from set up, to organizing the bridal line, to flipping the room to the reception, and keeping the night on track. We appreciated them sharing their experience and opinion as we worked on planning our wedding. Jenya and Violetta have a ton of wedding experience under their belt - we loved working with them and they helped make our day extra special. Highly recommend if looking for a planner who is detail oriented and reliable.

Jenya was wonderful! She provided such wonderful insight and suggestions. She truly made the day go so smoothly and took all the stress off of me so that I could actually enjoy the day and not worry about all the details. I was able to share all the information with her and she executed everything perfectly. We did get off to a bit of a rough start with meetings being rescheduled or being late to our meetings but she truly came through in the end and I’m so appreciative!
Any questions?

Jenya was the first vendor we booked when we began wedding planning and that was one of the best decisions we made! We are so thankful for her guidance throughout our entire planning process. We appreciated her high level of professionalism, responsiveness, and organization! We were absolutely blown away by how incredible Jenya was on our wedding day by ensuring we adhered to our timeline and was always nearby whenever we needed anything-- when a glass cup fell and broke near me, she did not hesitate to immediately pick up the broken glass pieces with her bare hands and made sure I was okay. I genuinely believe our wedding day could not have gone as beautifully and smoothly as it did without her attentiveness to detail and coordination skills. She understood my vision and truly brought it to life. I would 100% hire her again in a heartbeat-- Thank you so much Jenya for everything!!

Jenya was absolutely amazing! I could not have planned my wedding without her help and insight! I hired her pretty much from the very beginning as we got married in Utah but are living in Idaho. She listened to my vision and helped bring it to life every step of the way! Our wedding turned out better than I could have imagined and ran smoothly thanks to her help and her keeping track of the time and helping move through the whole day from set up to take down! I have told multiple people since our wedding that hiring a wedding planner is a must! She not only helped find vendors and plan the timeline. She helped keep track of our budget and make sure everything we did was within the budget! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding planner!!

We want to express the utmost gratitude to Jenya and her assistant Violeta for their hard work. It was one of the most beautiful memories we will always hold dear in our hearts. Jenya has worked with us for almost a year to help us plan our wedding celebration. She is always quick to update us and to make sure we are ahead of the planning. With both of us working full time/finishing graduate school, having Jenya definitely helped us so so much. The wedding celebration turned out beautiful and we are so happy we chose Norman Weddings & Events as our first choice. Thank you again for all you have done for us in these last few months Jenya. Gratitude expressed-- Gary & Tina

Planning a wedding is stressful, especially if you don't know where to start. That was me several months ago. I hired Jenya because after our initial introductory call, I was blown away by the knowledge she has and by her creativity for making my ideas and vision boards come to life. She chose the best vendors for me and my venue, and the whole time I never doubted her. She is very connected to the wedding industry and knows vendors for everything. I went with all of her vendor recommendations and was not disappointed at all. They were amazing as well. On the day of my wedding, she made everything come true, and I was speechless when I saw the space. She has a knack for beauty and making the space truly magical. During the wedding, I didn't have to worry about anything because she was so attentive and on top of it. I am so happy I had the opportunity to work with Jenya and cannot thank her enough for everything she has done.

Norman Weddings & Events is THE REASON why my wedding turned out to be the most perfect day of my life!!! Leading up to my wedding day there were a million moments that could have resulted in stress, but having Jenya there helping me through the decisions ended up resulting in a wonderful wedding planning process and wedding day. Having Jenya allowed me to actually enjoy the days leading up to the wedding. I was able to enjoy dance lessons with my fiance and focus on writing my vows. She is why I was able to put thought into those moments leading up to our ceremony. Jenya was fantastic at designing our wedding, and she even helped us with our menu cards and seating chart board, and layout. Our wedding day went incredibly smoothly. She kept everything on schedule and brought on the most amazing assistants we could have hoped for. Not only did Norman Wedding & Events help with the design, managing the vendors, and flow the day of, but she also helped cut my budget in areas I would not have known could be cut! She knew the look I was going for and helped me find vendors and decor that were more affordable than what I had originally planned. For example. rather than renting glass chargers, she found these amazing acrylic chargers on Amazon that looked EXACTLY the same as the glass chargers. That in and of itself saved me over $800!! Hiring Norman Wedding & Events is WORTH IT. Trust me. It will help your mental health and your wallet!! =) I will have the most wonderful memories of my wedding day largely thanks to Jenya.

Jenya and her assistant Violeta were amazing. She helped me plan an amazing wedding long distance I was in Indianapolis and she was in Utah planning and she did great. Everything I wanted and asked for she definitely delivered and it was everything 😊

I cannot express how thankful I am for Jenya and her assistant, she executed the day of wedding coordination without any flaws at my daughters wedding! She was there every second making sure everything was setup perfectly, helped incorporate more beautiful centerpieces, cake table and more. The wedding was at our home and I did not have to stress or worry about a thing! She coordinated with all the venders, cleanup and put everything away in boxes. By the end of the night I was drained and did not have to worry one bit! Thank you Jenya so very much you are amazing at what you do!

Jenya was a wonderful day-of coordinator for us. She communicated well in advance of the ceremony and reception, and absolutely took our vision to heart and made everything perfect. We had several delays (and a missing cheesecake), and Jenya handled everything perfectly. She was an absolute delight!

Oh my gosh, honestly, I don’t even know where to start with all the WONDERFUL things there are to say about Jenya!! She is incredibly professional, super helpful, and talented!! She brought my wedding vision to life while simultaneously handling a number of delays and issues that arose on the wedding day. She certainly knows how to work under pressure and stayed always kind, patient, cool, calm and collected through it all and made sure everything was handled and got everything back on track.
We hired Jenya for the day-of-coordination but she was always responsive if I had questions or shared information, she was mindful of checking in a couple weeks before the wedding and then again the week of, asked detailed questions to make sure she understood our needs/wants, took over vendor communication I believe either a few days or the week of the wedding which was incredibly helpful, was happy to be looped into communications with the venue to make sure she gathered all details and could follow up if needed, honestly the list goes on and this is all just leading up to the wedding!!
The wedding day itself would’ve been a complete disaster had Jenya not been there! First, she completely and totally brought my vision to life - a vision I shared through screenshots in a powerpoint aka a makeshift “concept board” and multiple spreadsheets, which I am sure for most, trying to understand what I was going for, might have been too much but Jenya is a genius and an artist!! Everything looked amazing and even better than I could have imagined!
The day was already tightly packed, because we had a fusion Hindu-Catholic wedding which meant two ceremonies and multiple outfit changes which was then also disrupted by the MULTIPLE delays (including the Hindu priest arriving an hour and a half late), a rain shower, guest hold ups and probably much more that I may not even be aware of because Jenya was on it!! From sorting out the catering, working with the priests to get the ceremonies back on track, adjusting the timelines by working her magic where despite everything we were only like 45 minutes behind, and then continuously checking in and keeping me updated… and there’s so much more to say and I could ramble on and on because Jenya is amazing!!! Simply put, we would certainly hire her again for a large event and anyone in the market for a wedding or event planner should go with Jenya because you will be working with an amazing person and get outstanding service!!! Hire her!!!

Jenya was literally my biggest life saver ever. I didn’t do a single thing on the day of my wedding besides enjoy the day. I showed up and every detail of the venue was absolutely perfect. She kept everything moving and on time, and was attentive to every possible detail of our special day. I cannot recommend her enough.

Jenya and her assistant were beyond amazing!! There is no way that I could have done it without her. She executed the wedding of my dreams and kept the day running smoothly. I loved the suggestions that she gave and how organized she was. There is no wedding task or dream too small for Jenya! She is very responsive and was always on top of it. You won’t regret hiring her!!!

Evgenia was wonderful to work with.
She help me pick out the plan that was best for me.
We went with day of coordination, as well as set up and take down of our decorations.
She was always very prompt when I would text and email her questions.
She was wonderful to work with, and kept us on schedule from the ceremony to the reception she made sure that we were on track for what we wanted to do.
I loved that she listened to what my husband and I wanted, making a very detailed plan, and also allowing time for unknowns (which I'm glad she did, you never know till your wedding happens that you want to spend more time doing photos, or that I would change my mind and no longer want to do the garter or bouquet toss!) She was amazing.
The only hick-up we had was on the wedding day my family did the set up as her car had broken down (it happens, and she was on top of letting me know and keeping me in the loop )
I highly recommend her, she will take the time to make your day amazing, and listen to your needs and wants!

Extremely professional, full of creative ideas and very well organized!! Great attention to detail!

Jenya was incredible! It was so nice to have someone managing the details leading up to the wedding. The day went off without a hitch and I didn't have to worry about anything getting done! She managed all of the vendors and ensured that the timeline ran smoothly. We were planning from out of state, so she was very flexible and helpful in planning. Her prices are beyond reasonable, we are so grateful we found her! I highly recommend working with her!

Evgenia brought her experience to the table to help us make good decisions in planning our special day down to the smallest detail. Her work also allowed us to enjoy our day knowing that she was looking after the plan, managing the other people involved, and keeping her eye on the clock to make sure we have time for everything. Best value-for-money out of everything in our wedding! ( Other than my wife's beautiful wedding dress of course 😁 )

Jenya was great! She helped us throughout the wedding planning, and we really couldn't have done it without her help on our wedding day. She was attentive to detail and made sure I didn't stress too much! Would definitely use her services again for other events.

Worth every single penny! Using Jenya was the best decision I made
I was not paid for this review. I found Norman Weddings on Facebook. Hiring them for the everything package day of event coordination (no planning) was the best decision I made. All of the vendors were good but I absolutely cannot overstate the fact that Jenya saved my life as the wedding coordinator for my daughter's wedding.
Every single thing I needed no matter how big or how small, how last minute or quirky or nit-picky, she was all over it in seconds.
As the mother of the bride I was able to actually participate in the reception because I knew that Jenya had it completely under control. She communicated by text and email, came to my house to meet with us, asked me the right amount of questions, helped set-up and decorate, put Ikea stuff together, offered her opinion but supported me and my daughter in our decisions, was super organized and responsive, communicated with all of the vendors and between key persons for me. She even made sure that I took my medicine on time and got me a Rockstar with a straw!!!
When I think back about what made my daughter's wedding so fun and so wonderful, honestly Jenya being there for me as wedding coordinator is one of the top 5 reasons. I would never do another wedding without her and I would recommend her and have recommended her to all of my friends and family in Utah for weddings. She is tremendous!
Let me start with saying that I truly love what I do! I have planned various types of events: college program graduation ceremonies, corporate events, school events for children, and of course weddings. I decided to become a wedding planner because it combines the two things I truly enjoy doing: helping people and organizing events. I will work hard to bring your vision of the wedding day to life!
Some fun facts about me: Immigrated to the United States from Russia in 2006. Earned an American Masters Degree. I love the adventure of conquering a new challenge!
