Particular Planner

needed in this industry) and gets things done! One guest at our party commented, “Oh! That’s what an event planner is supposed to do.” \A few months before the wedding date, we were looking for someone to assist with the final details and logistics of the wedding day. We chose Particular Planner because of their Wedding Management Service package, which was so much more than day-of-coordination. Jodie hit the ground running months before the wedding date -- contacted and maintained communication with all our vendors, created spreadsheets to keep track of all the details, responded to all our emails and texts in a timely manner and made a detailed timeline to make the day run smoothly. She easily pivoted to take on last-minute needs like making welcome bags for our guests staying at hotels or guiding us when our outdoor ceremony needed to move indoors because of the rain. I could go on… do yourself a favor, stop researching wedding planners, listen to the wonderful reviews and hire Jodie for your special day!

J at a family home, we knew we needed some help. Jodie came to the rescue. She helped us plan a backyard wedding in about 4 weeks, during a pandemic. This was uncharted territory, even for wedding planners! I was so overwhelmed with planning a new wedding but Jodie was able to stay organized and focused. Not only did Jodie seamlessly help us contact all of the vendors, she also helped us to implement Covid guidelines to help myself, guests, and vendors to feel safe attending a gathering. The wedding day was a huge success thanks to Jodie. Throughout the whole process she stayed so calm and positive and was also really fun to work with! I cannot recommend Jodie enough and look forward to working with her again in the future!

ng planning a breeze. Planning a wedding is a lot of work and it's even harder when you and your spouse are both attorneys with limited free time. Though it's easy to get lost in google reviews and advertisements, Jodie directed us to the most amazing vendors. Jodie ensured that each vendor understood our vision and worked to create a cohesive and amazing event. In addition to understanding our vision, Jodie worked to elevate it to a level that was unexpected. She suggested things that we would not even think about which ended up being huge hits. Jodie always gave us the attention and focus we needed to feel comfortable even when it was almost impossible for us to do a walk through and be on every call. We truly appreciate the time and effort it took to pull off the wedding of our dreams.

planned and rescheduled a wedding without Jodie! She was on top of it all! Jodie is amazing at her job, and super sweet nonetheless. We never felt overwhelmed or lost throughout the process. While out on maternity leave, Jodie made sure to leave us in the very capable hands of Amanda on our wedding day. Amanda was incredible!! There was not a detail missed and the whole day ran so smoothly. And she did it all while smiling and making sure we were having the best day ever! I would 100% recommend hiring Particular Planner - it will make your wedding so much more enjoyable knowing you are in great hands!

your time and money, wisely! Even with expecting her second child and being a mom and wife (oh and COVID!) Jodie still gave us the attention and focus we needed and we truly appreciate the time and effort (and sacrifice) it took to do that! Her team was great leading up to the wedding and really made us feel at ease during the wedding with handling all the elements and curve balls thrown their way! Now save yourself some time now and just HIRE HER!

xpectations. Jodie also was attentive to detail, accommodating to the bride/groom preferences, and graceful under pressure. The wedding was planned in 3 weeks but Jodie took all the planning in stride. A week prior to the wedding, we were so happy with how the wedding planning was going that we also hired her for rehearsal dinner planning. She was so organized and took this on too like a true professional. Jodie also helped connect us to some amazing vendors during the planning process. The day of, Jodie made sure everything ran smoothly and kept us on schedule without being obvious. She went the extra mile and was attending to small details even when everything was fully underway. Overall, Jodie set our family free to really enjoy the weekend. She saved us from immense stress and expensive mistakes for sure. It would be our pleasure to work with Jodie on future events. Thank you, Jodie!

I really wanted someone there the day of to handle all logistics of every vendor who was going to look out for my best interest. Jodie did just that and beyond! We had several emails/calls all throughout the process and the day of went as smoothly as I could imagine. Jodie handled everything so perfectly and is your voice on your big day so you can truly enjoy it. I wasn't someone who is too savvy on details/timeline of weddings and Jodie had every little detail planned out so perfectly; she even comes up with things you won't even think of! The other thing that really stood out about Jodie was that she wasn't this large company where you are just a number in her book. She's very personal and I really liked the solo aspect of her business. Steve and I could not be happier we hired Jodie! BOOK HER NOW! :)

dors, she had the amazing ability to make me feel like I wasn't crazy for having the concerns I did but immediately went into problem solving mode on what to do next. She also had a great mix of calm but down to business about her that was super helpful in vendor meetings. She spent time with me to really understand what I wanted my wedding vision to be down to every last detail and felt like my #1 advocate all along the way. The day of went so smoothly, I hardly spoke to any vendors :) and I can honestly say that I wouldn't have had the stress free day that I did if we didn't hire her for our wedding. I would highly recommend her for your next event! Thanks a million, Jodie!!

ve. Jodie allowed my to enjoy my day as she attended to all the vendors and timelines. She did everything from making sure contracts were up to date, helping me use the bathroom while in my dress (lol), making sure deliveries were on time, to confirming everything was packed up at the end of the night. I seriously cannot imagine my day without her, if you are up in the air about a wedding planner or a day of coordinator, DO IT!! And look no further, Jodie is amazing. It was one of the best decisions we made.

ding with ease. I truly could not imagine my wedding without Jodie’s help. Jodie is extremely organized. She would take meticulous notes during our calls and meetings with vendors. And kept us on track with her google docs and update calls. After hanging up from our update calls, my mom and I would call each other to discuss how much we loved Jodie! We instantly felt less stress after every conversation and confident in her organization and attention to every detail. But what differentiates Jodie from other wedding planners is her calm demeanor and ability to execute on our vision. We spoke with a lot of wedding planners when making the decision of who to hire. A lot of other planners we spoke to were pushy on their own agendas for the vision of the wedding. Jodie fully embraced our vision and was able to make helpful suggestions on the many details. And when decisions got overwhelming, she was always a calming source of knowledge. When my mom, my fiancé or me disagreed on a decision, she was able to pragmatically help us come to a solution that made everyone happy. (I can’t stress how helpful this was!) Jodie was able to handle the many personalities involved in wedding planning; vendors, family, bridal party with class and ease. Not only is Jodie unparalleled as a wedding planner, but she is also an amazing person who is fun to work with. We will truly miss our group texts with Jodie!

g I realized I was wrong and was going to need some assistance for the day-of (after all - I wanted it to be the ONE DAY people did not go to me for questions! :) ). When I first spoke with Jodie, I instantly connected with her and realized she was the right person for my (now) husband and me. She instantly jumped into all aspects of planning and went above and beyond. Her willingness to roll up her sleeves and get into the details, her ability to juggle personalities (us, in-laws, our vendors), and her thoughtfulness and kindness was more than we could have ever expected. Booking her was one of the BEST decisions we made and honestly - look no further than Jodie and Particular Planner!

to the picture, things were easier than we could've imagined. She met with our vendors, Facetimed us while she toured our venue (which we booked sight "unseen"!) and thought of every little detail before anyone else. On the day-of, she effortlessly wrangled all of our family and friends for photos, made sure things were set up correctly, and always checked in with us to make sure we had everything we needed. My husband and I can't thank Jodie enough! You will not regret working with Jodie for your wedding!

heet to help stay on budget, and invaluable advice throughout the process. I am so thankful for her guidance and would highly recommend her to anyone who is planning a party.

detail. I highly recommend Particular Planner!

over the final plans and took the stress off us. She is calm, polite, and well spoken and that really helps her achieve the brides vision both with the family, and with vendors and caterers. Last minute changes don’t fluster her, she handles them with grace and good humor. The job gets done. We couldn’t be happier with her advice, direction, and the coordination and setup she did for us....she was 8 months pregnant and was bustling dresses and coordinating the floor. Her eyes were everywhere! We wish her all the best with her new little one and much well-deserved success with her business!

responsiveness, creativity, and attention to detail made her a joy to work with and completely put us at ease as the wedding approached. Jodie understood our vision for our wedding from our first meeting and made sure that every part of our day lived up to what we wanted. She brought to our attention ideas and alternatives that we would not have thought of ourselves and that improved our day-of timeline immensely. Jodie proactively liaised with all of our vendors, ensuring that everyone was on the same page the day of the wedding. We have said again and again how happy we are that Jodie was our day-of coordinator and we would recommend her to anyone getting married in the area. Working with Jodie is an absolute pleasure!!

h as it is, it was so nice not to have to stress about what we needed to be doing and when. Jodie made sure all of my decor was set up to my liking and made sure that all of my items made it into a family members' car. She was on top of everything! Truly a pleasure to work with Jodie!

BEST decision we made throughout the planning process. Jodie used her years of professional event planning and personal experience with her own wedding to ease the process for us and bring a new perspective to the decisions we had to make. Jodie was incredibly helpful working and negotiating with all of our vendors. She thought of things that we never would have thought to ask ourselves and always had our best interest at heart. The week of our wedding there was a major snow storm that brought on about a foot of snow. Our ceremony was to be in a tent with clear walls outside on a farm field. The week prior to our big day, we were running around like crazy people- picking up stuff here, dropping off stuff there... Just crazy. Jodie manned the entire tent rental installation as if it was her own tent, her own farm, and her own wedding. Extremely PROACTIVE! She worked with Parkins Tent Rentals and our venue, Lauxmont Farms, to have all snow removed so the ground could be ready for the tent installation and to make sure our guests would not be trekking through mud. There was no need to worry about the weather with Jodie on our team. Jodie's attention to detail, organizational skills, and thoroughness greatly exceeded our expectations. Our wedding was a destination with many DIY elements and moving parts. Everything was a la carte. We had over thirteen vendors that required coordination the day of our wedding. Prior to our wedding day, Jodie completely wrapped herself around the timeline, vendor roles, and our expectations to make our vision a reality. There was not one moment that prevented us from enjoying every minute of our special day with Jodie on board. Our dreams came true and we just cannot imagine our special day being as smooth and painless as it was without Jodie on our team.
