StR Events

d most memorable day, she did it all. We truly were able to sit back relax and enjoy every minute.

r the day of my wedding, and executed on my vision PERFECTLY. She is kind, knowledgeable, professional, and makes you feel like you are special to her! She had flawless execution and just took control - which I loved. CANNOT RECOMMEND HER ENOUGH!!!

our venue look amazing! Her attention to detail, friendly personality, and flawless style were exactly what we needed to bring everything together seamlessly. Thank you StR Events, Jennifer, and Darcy! As a retired wedding photographer and 10 years in the industry, I've worked with a LOT of planners. StR Events is hands down the best in the business!

hat to expect to ease our worries. The day of, Jennifer was an absolute BOSS! I’m used to others relying on me to get things done but she made sure I was hands off so I could enjoy my day. I never doubted her or her teams ability to execute my vision. Even my husband was raving about her to his friends!! I would HIGHLY recommend Jennifer and her team! It was such a pleasure working with her.

ng that they have planned. Every aspect of the day goes so perfectly. We are always on time with a flawless day. Jennifer is also an incredible designer as well. She has so much knowledge of how to find special pieces to make your wedding so special. I highly recommend using StR events for your wedding or event.

ay of the wedding, and I will be forever grateful to her for putting up with my anxious emails and texts the last few weeks before the wedding.

was so on top of everything all the way through, that I never had to worry that something would fall through the cracks. The day of the wedding she had everything in control, my husband and I could just enjoy and have fun! I would recommend Jennifer over and over again! We were so happy with her services!

dding happened and I am still so grateful that I made the decision to hire her. I tell everyone I know that she literally saved my day. I was originally trying to decide between Jennifer and the folks at Columbus Bride and Groom, and from my first meeting with Jennifer, I knew she was the person to hire. Her confidence and professionalism within our first meeting made me feel so calm and confident that she would execute our wedding day flawlessly. She worked with me on budget and what I already had planned (including my ridiculous excel spreadsheet that I already started building even though she gives you a whole site and platform to build such things). The day of, I received a call that all of my flowers were dead due to a cooler malfunction. I called Jennifer hours before she was supposed to begin working toward my day and she immediately got to work on contacting the flower vendor as well as vendors she has relationships with to resolve the problem. She stayed in close contact with me throughout the day and when my venue wanted to move my outdoor wedding inside due to potential rain, she advocated for me and kept the wedding outside. From the moment I stepped outside for our first look until the moment I walked inside after our ceremony, it did not rain!! Jennifer (with the support of Lyndsay), executed our vision flawlessly. The flowers arrived before we arrived on site and everything was where it needed to be. She got me a plate of appetizers while I was getting bustled so I could eat. She got me drinks when I was trying to say hi to everyone! She kept all of my important belongings safe and delivered right to my hotel room when she was wrapping up. It was a perfect day, and our best decision was having Jennifer help us with our day. I cannot stress enough that the day would have not gone as well had she not been a part of it. My husband and I were and still are truly grateful and cannot recommend Jennifer and StR Events enough. Absolute best and most worthwhile decision of the entire planning process. Thank you StR for everything.

met with Kiley and Hartwell several times to discus their vision of their wedding. Jennifer is very knowledgeable and committed to her services. She has great recommendations and is always available for a text message or phone call. With Kiley and Hartwell's ideas and thoughts and with Jennifer’s guidance the wedding was beautiful! She helped with the invitations , RSVP’s, florists, band, dining room layout, organized a detailed time of events, confirmed all vendors and made sure everything was perfect! She was present for rehearsal at the church and instructed the wedding party as their part in the mass. At the reception she handled all tasks and duties. She was excellent! The wedding was magical! The church was beautiful, the outdoor cocktail hour was amazing and the reception was awesome! And the sparklers at the end of the evening were spectacular! We were able to share this gorgeous day with our family and friends! All the credit goes to Jennifer! We are truly grateful and we thank you so much for your dedication and commitment. We would highly recommend Jennifer!

is so friendly, down to earth and organized. She was also super responsive and stayed on top of me when I was procrastinating. When the big day finally came, it was SO helpful to have the StR team there. They dealt with all of the vendors and made sure that everything was running smoothly which allowed us to relax and enjoy the day with our family and friends. On top of that, I was completely blown away with how everything came together. Jennifer gave my husband and I a sneak peek of the ballroom before the guests went in (which was so sweet! and one of my favorite parts of the night), it was so beautiful, I was literally brought to tears! It was absolutely perfect and no detail was overlooked. We definitely could not have pulled this off without Jennifer's help! Whatever you do, hire StR Events, you won't regret it!

ng process. I repeatedly tell EVERYONE I know who is getting married that SHE was the best money I ever spent. She took my pinterest board inspo photos and helped me verbalize my dream to vendors to make sure my vision was known. She communicated our timeline to make my wedding day run flawlessly. She helped me save money along the way negotiating with vendors on my behalf to make sure every detail I wanted fit in my budget. She took over all the tedious tasks the months before the wedding so that my only role was to make sure I enjoyed myself, and I did! Not only would I highly recommend Michelle, but my mom, my husband and everyone who got to attend my magical wedding made sure to let me know that they would recommend her, as well! She is just the best at what she does and you would be missing out not to hire her and StR Events for your big day!

is parents are from Bangalore, India), so we had minimal knowledge of even our own traditions going into the planning process. Jennifer (STR Events) was one of two wedding planners in the state of Ohio who noted having experience with Jewish and South Indian weddings, and we were hooked on working with her from our first consultation call. She has the perfect demeanor for this work, with a fierce work ethic balanced by a soft touch, sense of humor, and genuine care for her clients needs/desires. She was honest with us when our ideas would be complicated or outside of our budget, and extremely helpful with providing affordable solutions ranging from vendor recommendations to purchasing cute items for our "Kids Korner" table that she spotted while out at a Dollar Store and texting us. The original package we purchased with her was primarily for taking over 3 months from the wedding and doing day of support, but about 4 months ahead of the wedding we were behind on our planning and when I reached out to Jennifer to see if she could offer further support, and she immediately responded and got to work right away. She found a Chuppah/Mandap ceremony structure (complete with setup, decoration, and all included in the price) for well under our budget, a florist that nailed exactly what we wanted (from table arrangements to garlands), and designed that layouts and stage covering for all of our events (among many other things she helped with). Jennifer also came to all of our Planning Meetings in Mt. Vernon (about an hour away from her offices in Columbus) and never made us feel rushed even when the meetings ran long or another vendor was late. All of our vendors loved working with her, and she was a hit with both of our families, too. She always asked what our vision was for every element of the wedding, and when we had no clue she offered helpful options and suggestions. The day of the wedding she was managing essentially a small army of staff (her two assistants, 6 staff at our venue [a public park], 5 lunchtime caterers, 4 dinner caterers, 5 bartenders, 3 hairstylists, 3 makeup artists, 3 photographers, 2 DJs, 2 Officiants, linen/ceremony structure/table/stage covering rental and setup, dessert delivery, 2 Dhol players, and more), which she handled with ease and grace. We had a swelteringly hot and humid day in July for an outdoor wedding, and Jennifer was prepared with ice cold gatorade and more ready to go for us and our wedding party. At the end of the night it was like magic how everything we brought into the venue wound up back in secure storage at the venue in order for us to pick up the next morning, and Jennifer checked with us about any/everything leftover we had or last minute decisions to make. She also handed all vendor coordination, payments, tip, and so on, which allowed us to truly be present and focus on our big day and the people we love. Lastly, I will forever be indebted to her for--when we were at our most exhausted in the heat and humidity, and people had already begun to disperse--she pushed us to still do a series of family and friends photos after our second ceremony, reasoning that we would regret not doing it later. THANK YOU to Jennifer and STR Events for an unforgettable day!

o discuss our ideas and limitations, and delivered flawlessly on helpings create our dream wedding. She was incredibly professional, communicated thoroughly with us every step of the way, was creative in working within our budget, and provided phenomenal recommendations for a florist, DJ, and photographer. Her participation in the "day of" details alleviated any of our responsibility, and allowed us to enjoy every moment of the day without worries. We had a great experience and would absolutely recommend her to family and friends in the future.

hands down the best decision we made throughout the entire planning process - aside from going with the ACC - which ultimately led us to StR. At the time we got engaged, my now husband and I were taking on big jobs in NYC and trying to plan from afar. After much debate, I wrote to Michelle and the team at StR to see if it would be a good fit. From the moment I first spoke with Michelle T. , I knew she was the perfect match for me. From her sweet giggle to her attention to detail and elegant style, I knew she would care just as much about our wedding day as we did. You can't put a price on peace of mind, and that's what StR and Michelle was for us. Michelle was incredibly skilled and professional from start to finish. Whether it was vision boarding to execution, she was flawless in her communication style and organization. She kept all of the details in order, was creative in her recommendations, and went so far as to negotiate for us. What's more - she helped us fight some last minute battles in the week leading up to our big day while we were traveling to Columbus, and served as a source of comfort and consolation when a few mishaps took place in the background. Rather than dwell on the "issues" - she was strong, confident and resourceful. She brought us solutions rather than adding to our problems. For that I will always be eternally grateful. She was my rock and co-pilot as April approached. From affordability to flawless execution - StR is where it's at. On our wedding day, Michelle was truly a central figure with our families and bridal party. You cannot help but adore her. StR will forever be one of our most treasured partners in what was hands down the best day of our lives. For that, we are eternally grateful. Thank you StR and thank you Michelle T!

ointed. After our initial meeting, I knew she was my girl. She understood everything that I wanted and was able to get started right away. She went above and beyond to make the planning process as easy as possible. She developed a step-by-step checklist and guided me through the way. She was very easy to contact when I needed something and always put me at ease. Jennifer was able to recommend the best vendors and took care of all the communications and coordination with them. Once the BIG day finally came, I was blown away with how beautiful and perfect everything was. Every little detail was just as I imagine or better. She was able to take my vision, make it better, and it put it all together. I didn’t have a care in the world on my wedding day. I knew I was in great hands. I don’t know if she will ever know how thankful I am to have had her through this process. I would recommend Jennifer and StR Events to any bride.

of the process from coordinating vendors to logistics and timing of the day-of events. She is extremely organized and no detail was overlooked. Thanks to Jennifer I was able to completely relax the day of the wedding and be present in the moment. I couldn't imagine the day without Jennifer & Michelle and couldn't be happier. So Amazing - 100,000 stars thank you so much!!

n a timeline, and Jennifer handled it in the most professional way. Our day would never have gone as smoothly as it did without her!

ugh she is based in Columbus, she was able to meet us down in Hocking Hills twice before the actual wedding for planning and then the rehearsal. When the actual day came, while my husband and I were getting ready, she and her assistant organized everything from incoming vendors to decorations to the wedding parties themselves. Can't recommend her enough.

as. I would pick StR Events again and would strongly recommend them to anyone planning a wedding. I was actually able to enjoy and let go of all of the planning stress! Endless thanks to Michelle!

up with a wedding vision, which was incredibly helpful and made the ceremony and reception so beautiful. Whenever we had questions, we received very quick responses. The weekend of our wedding, I did not worry at all about the logistics of the day. Jennifer and her team were a pleasure to be with on the wedding day and were so helpful. Jennifer even helped ensure we were well fed and had water/drinks when we wanted them, since we were frequently talking with our guests. I 1000% recommend StR Events!! Thank you for everything <3

help. Jennifer started working with us about 8 months before our wedding. She took our crazy ideas and our many planning documents and turned them into easy to follow spreadsheets and realistic timelines. We were sold at our first meeting, and we knew that she understood our vision and respected our decisions. Jennifer acted as a true professional along the way- giving expert opinions, offering support and guidance throughout the whole process. Every detail was thought out, and she didn't waste our time with unnecessary emails. Jennifer was very efficient, and she always followed up in a timely manner. We knew we were in good hands with Jennifer and that she would deliver excellent results! In the weeks leading up to our wedding, Jennifer followed up with all of our vendors, and she kept us updated on any changes or notes that we needed to be aware of. She made herself available to us, and we appreciated the fact that her assistance made it possible for us to enjoy this special time with our family and friends. One of the reasons we wanted to work with Something to Remember is that we wanted our wedding to reflect 'us' but we also wanted everything to run smoothly, and for us not to have to worry about every single detail on our wedding day. Jennifer made this possible for us! I highly recommend Something to Remember and Jennifer Drew for your wedding or other large scale event!

weddings. We were nervous about finding the right fit. We were planning a wedding from 2 different states on the east coast (my husband and I were doing distance), and my parents live in Dayton. So we were looking for someone who could accommodate to FaceTime meetings and many emails. I couldn’t imagine an easier person to work with. She’s very accommodating to any schedule. She worked with us for just over a year on the full-service plan and she made our lives (and our families lives) so much easier as we planned our 300+ Indian & Western fusion wedding. She also navigated the cultural differences between my and my husband’s families with ease. She was honest about what was and wasn’t possible, what she and her team were capable of, and worked to find solutions to any problem we encountered. My parents were late adopters to having a wedding planner, but in the end they were so thankful Jennifer was with us the whole way. As far as vendor suggestions, she’s worked with many in the area and I consistently heard great things about her from the other vendors I spoke to. She had suggestions based on her previous experiences, but was completely open to researching other options if something wasn’t the right fit. She was cost-conscious but also understanding of the industry. She wanted us to get what we paid for, and more if possible. Now for the day of…we had a PACKED day: a baraat (complete with a horse), 2 ceremonies split by lunch, cocktails and reception in the evening. My uncle served in the Indian Air Force and he kept complimenting on how everything ran on time. Every little detail, some that only a wedding planner would think of, was executed perfectly. In both the smallest and biggest ways, Jennifer made us feel so incredibly special on our wedding day.

g meeting (~4-5 Months out) opened my eyes to how much we truly needed the help of Jennifer and her expertise, attention to detail, and organization to make our vision a reality and our day run as smooth as possible. She planned our day to the minute and made it very easy to share information with our family and bridal party, which meant less calling, texting, and stress and made the week of very enjoyable. She also came to our final meetings and handled all of those little loose ends and in return we were very calm and happy bride and groom! We honestly think that having a day of planner like Jennifer is the best way to have FUN at your wedding and be able to look back on the photos and videos and know that you were present in the moment enjoying your special day! Thank you Jennifer for all of your help and support!

was able to relax and enjoy the day, knowing we were in good hands. My daughter was infinitely more relaxed too, because she trusted Jennifer with all the last minute details. I also appreciated her fast turnaround time on emails. That meant a lot to me. I would definitely use her again and highly recommend her to you!

budget). We loved working with Michelle, she is smart, fun, kind and has a great laugh

lan ahead and overall have a hard time delegating tasks to others- so I was hesitant to hire a wedding planner. Michelle exceeded all of my expectations. She was so on top of every detail- big or small. Every time I went to follow up with a vendor or complete a task, Michelle had already done it. Not only was Michelle organized and fun to work with, she has an eye for design. Michelle helped bring my pinterest ideas for florals (with the help of our wonderful florist) and linens to reality. She picked beautiful table linens and helped make our cookie table perfect. She also helped fine tune details I would have never thought of. Her work in setting up our day-of timeline was also immensely helpful; I couldnt imagine taking on that task. I could go on for hours about our positive experience working with Michelle at StR. We couldnt recommend her more highly!

with all of our vendors and everything went extremely smooth. I truly felt like a guest at the wedding. I highly recommend StR! Jennifer is professional and accommodating and there to make sure your event is everything you wanted it to be.

self and my mom. My mom was very involved in the planning but has a tendency to be a little indecisive-so Michelle was a huge asset when it came to making those tough decisions. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect and everything went so smoothly because of her impeccable planning. Not only is Michelle a great wedding planner, she's also a wonderful person and we were so lucky to have her for our wedding!

e, pays incredible attention to detail, listens, found incredible vendors and honestly she is just a wonderful person who wants everything to be perfect for your special day. Although we have only worked with one wedding planner in our lives we truly believe that Michelle is one of the best. Of all the money that was spent for the wedding by far the best dollar spent was on hiring Michelle - she was worth every penny (and more)! It could not have been a more perfect celebration. Thanks Michelle!

t stands out the most to me is how relaxed I was able to be all weekend and how much I was able to be present at the wedding for our daughter, our guests and family, and for myself. Jennifer's fee (so reasonable) was worth every dollar.

ving planned a lick of a wedding before. I had no idea where to start, but I knew I NEEDED HELP. As soon as we met Jennifer, we knew she was exactly what we needed. She is calm, down to earth, and GETS STUFF DONE. All the vendors we chose were based on her recommendations, and they did not disappoint! She kept us honest throughout the whole planning process, and I was amazed by how well we were able to stick to our budget. To say that Jennifer held my hand through this entire journey is a complete understatement. In what would be shear chaos for me, she handles with absolute poise. Our family and wedding party all raved about Jennifer and her communication and organizational skills. StR Events is excellent. I highly recommend for any event planning in the Columbus area. Thank you to Jennifer and her staff, our wedding day was absolutely perfect.

e process of planning enjoyable and whenever it came time to make a decision, she provided us with many great options from which to choose. She was receptive to the many questions I had as the father of the bride, and Jennifer had the experience and knowledge of numerous vendors so we could make an informed decision that would meet our individual needs. She took the time to explain all of the working parts of planning a wedding to me which was extremely helpful for a person who had to take on a role not necessarily reserved for a father. We lost my daughter’s mother and my wife shortly before the wedding planning began. Jennifer was sensitive to this loss and made sure to incorporate elements of the wedding that served as remembrance to a woman who was very special to many who would be in attendance. There was no doubt my wife's presence was felt which was important to both my daughter and me. The wedding and all of the planning prior to the event was top notch. No stone was left unturned, no detail forgotten. It was a perfect day/night, and there is nothing we would have changed. My daughter and her husband have said many, many times that it was the best day of their lives. My apprehension about the expenses of a wedding planner did not last long. I feel strongly the investment not only enhanced the wedding, but it relieved a lot of stress knowing we had someone to turn to for answers. The approach to the wedding was not a cookie cutter process. Our wedding was unique and planned with our bride, groom, families and guests in mind. I think due to Jennifer’s wealth of knowledge, experience and effort, we saved money because she we able to find us vendors who would give us the best value for our investment. If you are looking for a wedding planner, you do not need to look any further. StR Events is an outstanding company, providing solid, dependable service. My only wish is I had another daughter so we could do another wedding. This was a very difficult task to face being a single father, but it ended up being one of the most enjoyable experiences of which I have ever been a part. Thank you, Jennifer Drew!

re of several last minute details that could have left me scrambling and best of all, on the day of my wedding, I had no worries whatsoever. Jennifer took care of everything. Even my guest commented about how helpful and efficient Jennifer was. "That girl in the black" really knew what she was doing. I am so excited to recommend StR Events to everyone and anyone. Efficient, detailed and creative wedding planning! Thank you for such an awesome experience!

solutely loved Michelle's kind and gentle ways with us, as well as her vision, expertise and her keen attention to detail. We were so stressed out by the big picture until we met her. Michelle saw me for who I am, and helped us create a day that felt perfectly "me." The day could not have been any better, and Michelle a gigantic reason why.

professional. She was easy to get in contact with, but typically communicated with me before I even had a question. I really appreciated the approach that Jennifer used for planning/preparing because you can tell it is her standard that she uses over and over to ensure everything is complete. Her experience allows her to provide confident advice, which was extremely helpful for the amount of decisions that we had to make. She also made the planning process less overwhelming by coordinating every vendor, simplifying the decisions we had to make, offering to take care of things without me having to ask and just being a pleasant, sweet face to see when arriving at the ceremony as nervous as could be. Having Jennifer absolutely provided a sense of calm and peace of mind throughout the entire weekend and you cannot put a price tag on that. We received compliments on many aspects of our wedding, but one of our most frequent compliments was how pleasant and "on top of it" Jennifer was. We all noticed how smoothly the weekend went because of her and I can only imagine all of the work that she did that we didn't see. Hiring Jennifer was the best decision we made and I would highly recommend her and the StR team.

! From the first meeting she came prepared with checklists and spreadsheets to make sure we stayed on track. My wife, who is type A, was so happy to have a checklist to follow and make sure we were on track. Not only is she organized, but she is creative and turned our half-baked ideas into a truly amazing and coordinated event! She was so helpful as we planned, and the month of the event she got even better! She took over calling and confirming all vendors, setting up final appointments, reminding us that a payment was due, and the list goes on. This took so much stress away, we cannot even begin to express our gratitude for what she did for us! We did our wedding and reception on two different days. The wedding was at our house and Jennifer was there to pull it all together (a little like herding cats with our group). She made sure the flowers were on the arch perfectly, the DJ had enough electricity for his equipment, and that we made it down the aisle on time. It was EVEN better on the day of the reception! We had used Flowerman! (DIY) flowers. We sent her a 5 gallon bucket of flowers and succulents to arrange in 10-15 vases along with getting everything else pulled together. She knocked it out of the park. She re-used the flowers on the arch on the bar to make it look like more than just a bar. The center pieces were great and she added flowers to the cake. What can't she do? Throughout the night she was very attentive to my wife and I, making sure we ate and had something to drink. She made sure the late night snacks were out and displayed nicely. She was always thinking of things that we never would have considered (like moving the guestbook so no one missed signing it). Jennifer and StR Events were professional, caring, prompt, responsive - all the things you would want from a wedding coordinator. She also brought resources to help on the day of the wedding and reception that shared the same vibe and attention to detail. We trusted her fully, and it took so much stress off of us from day one until the big day. We were able to focus on the important things - like each other and loving the time with our family and friends. We are so so so incredibly happy with her work. Thank you Jennifer!

tacted and after my first conversation with Michelle, I was confident that I was in good hands. I hired Michelle as a weekend coordinator. She met me for drinks at a time when I was in town so that we could get to know each other (even though that time was Christmas, she made time for me). Then, about 3 months before the wedding, she scheduled a call for us to discuss all the details. From there, she confirmed details with all my vendors, put together a timeline, worked with me on any changes and pulling together a checklist, and just generally made sure everything was going smoothly. She ran our rehearsal flawlessly and on the day, handled our minor hiccups with ease and made me feel so relaxed and confident that everything was being handled perfectly. During the reception, she always kept my champagne glass filled and I couldn't tell you how, but she was always right where I needed her when I needed her. I am so thankful to have worked with Michelle. She made my entire vision come to life and helped to make sure everything went off without a hitch. Even our wedding guests were asking me about her! Thanks, Michelle, and STR for helping me to put on an amazing event!

nue and vendors, to picking out flowers, linens and décor to contacting our vendors to organize the day of timeline and making sure everyone was where they needed to be and when, she was amazing! My husband and I are terrible procrastinators and she kept us in check throughout the entire planning process, which was exactly what we needed. She was always quick to respond to texts and emails and SO very organized. I relied heavily on Jennifer’s vendor suggestions as well her opinions of décor and she did not disappoint! Everything turned out BEAUTIFULLY and all of our vendors were fantastic! I heard many comments from friends and family regarding how calm and stress free I seemed to be and I was! Because of StR Events, I was able to enjoy the day without worry or stress. We have since had several guests tell us it was “THE BEST WEDDING” they had ever attended! Jennifer truly made one of the most important days of our lives ‘Something to Remember’, not only for us but for all of our guests. We are SO glad we chose StR Events to guide us and coordinate our big day. I absolutely recommend them for any of your event planning needs.

ring a coordinator would best help us put together our ideas, we found Michelle and StR Events. Michelle took time to get to know us and our vision for our day, was always available to answer questions, offer brilliant suggestions, and created a stress-free planning process. Our wedding was one for the books, Michelle knocked it out of the park and there was not one hiccup in the timeline of our day. We would make the decision to work with StR a million times over! Thank you for being part of our special day :)

ery detail about the wedding itself, and could guide me in the selection of colors, flowers, menu, etc so there was no danger of overlap. Trying to plan the rehearsal dinner for the wedding party and close families back-to-back with a welcome reception for out of town guests later in the evening was more than I could juggle. Michelle was great in helping to solidify my thinking about the look I wanted to create for the rehearsal dinner at a local country club, working with me to organize the linen rental and flowers. She also helped with the cocktail reception, offering great finishing touches such as custom napkins, signage, linens, etc to really make the event as polished as I had hoped. She was a great sounding board for my decisions, too - I have planned many events, but it's always important to have a trusted second opinion and she was it! Although we were working in different time zones, Michelle was always available for my calls and emails to review details. Her checklists also were a tremendous resource to ensure every detail was considered and added to the timeline on that busy, busy day. Adding a comment about her work as "day of" coordinator: Michelle and Jennifer were really an asset and helped to make the day run as stress-free as possible. Obviously the bride and her family take center stage at the wedding, but she also ensured the groom and his party were cared for and included in the wedding day checklist. While the venue has a banquet coordinator and planner you may work with in setting up the event, no one except your day of coordinator is going to have the FULL PICTURE of all your contractors and be able to orchestrate their efforts. Having seen her in action, I will definitely be hiring a coordinator for our daughter's wedding in the future - I only regret it is unlikely to be in Columbus, otherwise I would book Michelle and StR right now!

is expense was an extravagance we could do without. However, my daughter was finishing law school out of state, studying for the bar exam, and starting a new job in addition to getting married. So I agreed, and I am so glad I did. We hired Jennifer from StR Events and she was fantastic! She took care of everything from contacting vendors to organizing, down to the minute, the entire wedding day. She even helped me with a malfunctioning tux! I consider the cost of securing Jennifer an investment in my daughter's happiness- she was free to completely enjoy the love of her new husband, her family, and her friends who shared this special day with us. Thank you, Jennifer, for making a father's wish come true!

but then began to get overwhelmed with still a year to go. To add to ordinary wedding stress, I was in my third year of law school out of state. I was going to be graduating, moving back to Ohio, taking the bar exam, starting a new job, and getting married within a four month period. I hired Jennifer almost exactly one year out for event design and coordination and it was the best decision I ever made. When we had our initial design meeting, I showed her a few Pinterest pictures and she took it from there. She came up with exactly what I wanted and helped me execute it. She gave instant suggestions and feedback on vendors and ideas for flowers, linens, invitations, cake, everything! Even when I second-guessed and overthought my choices, Jennifer remained patient and helped me talk through what I wanted. When it became time to study for and take the bar exam two months before the wedding, she took over- she created the timeline, reached out to vendors, fielded questions, etc. She thought of and had a solution for every aspect of the wedding. On the day of, I was so happy and relaxed because I knew she and her staff were handling everything. When I would start to worry and ask her to check on something, she had already handled it and twenty other things. She kept us on schedule and executed everything perfectly- bubbles coming out of the church, pictures at the Statehouse, dozens of candles lit at the reception, a guest appearance by Brutus, milk and cookies passed around, and more. It was a perfect day because of Jennifer.

but she has so much experience with wedding and event planning. She kept me sane and calm, and thought of everything we could possibly need on our wedding day. It was such a relief to hand her the reigns in the weeks leading up to and the day of our wedding. She did an amazing job., allowing my husband and I to just enjoy our day!

xceeded our expectations! During the planning process, we talked on a consistent basis about specific tasks, to do lists, wedding week timelines and vendor details – in doing so, they kept us on track and helped us execute our dream wedding. During the actual wedding day, their professionalism and organizational skills were point on. Thank you both for helping us feel relaxed and well taken care of - we can’t thank you enough!!!

s for my angel and her Mother has planned this in her head for a very long time so I stayed out of the way. There were many great decisions made regarding my daughter's wedding but perhaps the smartest decision was hiring Jennifer and StR Events. She was worth every penny for not only the knowledge she provided but she was prepared for both the known and the unknown situations that might and did occur. Having Jennifer provided a sense of comfort and relaxation. We were actually able to enjoy the entire event and were confident everything was being dealt with both in front of and behind the scenes. If you are on the fence about hiring a planner, do it. If you want your event to go perfectly, hire Jennifer!

of town/out of state wedding, Michelle was a life saver is so many ways. Michelle was amazing at giving us guidance on all the planning elements we had left, helping us define and carry out our vision for décor and the overall “look” of the wedding, giving us great suggestions for our remaining vendors, organizing all the many many details and logistics involved in a big wedding, and of course making sure the day and the weekend all ran perfectly! One of the best things about having a wedding planner is having someone on your team who is a wedding expert and knows all the answers to your questions instead of you having to Google everything for hours. Michelle was always willing to answer any questions we had, no matter how big or how small, and she was full of great advice without ever being “pushy.” She was also just fun to talk to! We also loved having Michelle as a go-between for some of our vendors. Even though our reception location came with a coordinator, it was invaluable having someone on our team whose top priority was our best interests and who could advocate for us in any situations that came up (and we had several situations come up with the reception location that Michelle was critical in helping us navigate!). Our wedding was perfect. Absolutely beautiful, as stress free for us and our families as it possibly could have been, and above all really felt like “us,” and we have Michelle to thank for it. We are highly organized, list- and spreadsheet-making kind of people, and there’s no way our wedding could have been half as nice or half as stress free without Michelle and her team. Our only regret is not hiring StR sooner so we could have spent less time feeling super stressed out wedding planning and more time feeling like everything was under control. We can honestly say it was the best money we spent on the whole wedding, by far, and we would shout our recommendation for Michelle and StR from the rooftops!!

o stay on track and pulled everything together for our wedding. We were planning from out of town, and Jennifer was always available to talk or answer questions, most of the time getting back to us with answers within the hour of our questions! She is extremely organized and well prepared and made us so incredibly confident that everything would go smoothly on our day of. Leading up to the wedding they handled contacting vendors, ironed out any issues with our vendors, and took care of all the many details so that we were able to really relax and enjoy our wedding & the time leading up to it. Without StR, we could not have planned our wedding to be as amazing and stress free as it was! We would highly recommend them to anyone planning a wedding!

process was also a breeze with Jennifer making sure I was on top of things. I am a procrastinator, but with Jennifer wedding website she created for me I was able to stay on top of everything. Jennifer really helped take my ideas and visions (even when they changed) and bring everything together on the big day. I received so many compliments on how smooth everything day of ran and how beautiful everything was decorated. Jennifer went with me to the florist to help me pick out flowers and arrangements since I had zero ideas or interests in flowers. She also helped me pick out linens and little décor pieces that would bring everything together. Jennifer was super prompt at responding to my texts and emails. She even went above and beyond when there was a massive hotel issue and fixed everything. If I ever need another event planner, I will use Jennifer again hands down!

ng all of the details, the last thing I wanted was me or my mom worrying about executing everything on my wedding day. Jennifer was recommended to us by a friend and we selected her as our Day-of Coordinator for our October 17th wedding in Columbus. The first time we met with Jennifer, we knew that we could trust her to execute our wedding just as we envisioned it. Because she is super experienced with weddings, she brought up several items we hadn't even thought of and put together a full weekend timeline, which was super helpful. The day of the wedding, Jennifer was always right there when we needed her - when we needed help executing our first look photo, she worked it out with our photographer; when we wanted more time to greet tables at the reception, she told the DJ to push back the toasts. ***Her ability to quickly problem solve on the spot reassured us that hiring her was well worth the investment.*** All of our guests said it was one of the best weddings they have ever been to - and we have Jennifer to thank for bringing it all together!

dding. Jennifer was able to turn my daughter's vision into a reality. My daughter and I had already planned a lot of the details before we realized how many decisions were left make, and how much time it would take us to do the research of vendors. Jennifer pulled everything together, found the special table cloths that my daughter wanted and navigated all hurdles at the beautiful venue. At the end of a wonderful, beautiful day, Jennifer and her staff loaded everything into our cars and my husband and I were able to leave knowing all was taken care of. I felt that having Something to Remember Events working with us kept the day running smoothly,and was well worth the expense. Jennifer understood and accomplished my daughters vision for her wedding day. We are very happy with the professional, gracious, and competent services provided to our family on this big day

Jennifer. Jennifer was referred to us by a mutual friend and she may honestly be the best investment we made for our wedding day. When I met with Jennifer and Sarah for the first time (with my disaster of a wedding planning folder), I am fairly certain I told her almost immediately that my goal was to do nothing but be pampered and have fun on my wedding day. And this is exactly what happened. :) Jennifer and Sarah did a fantastic job working with our vendors in the weeks leading up to the wedding and coordinating with all of them. She made sure our rehearsal ran as smoothly as possible and that on our day, we did not have to worry about anything. She was great at returning emails and calls promptly and made sure everyone was where they needed to be when they needed to be there. And, our vendors really appreciated working with her. I want to note, we were going to have our reception outside. Everything looked absolutely stunning and it was all going smoothly, until the heavens opened up and dropped buckets of water on our reception for about 15 minutes. I'm pretty sure, it didn't rain anywhere else in the city that night, just on our dinner tables. I'm not sure what we would have done had Jennifer and Sarah not been there. They worked with the other vendors to salvage what they could from our soaked reception tables and set us up inside. I have to be honest, when I saw the rain coming down through the window, I just turned and went back inside to the cocktail hour because I knew that Jennifer was going to take care of it. And she did. We are both very grateful for the work she did for us leading up to and on our wedding day. We hired Jennifer for the "weekend of", but she did absolutely more than that!

Jennifer listened to what we wanted and helped communicate that to our vendors. She was calm and organized the day of our wedding even when a few things went awry (late guest shuttles!). No matter how organized you are as a bride, you need and will appreciate Jennifer's help!

Several of our vendors - our venue, our photographer, our videographer - remarked she's the best in the business. We couldn't agree more!!

erall fantastic to work with! Jennifer took over all contact with my vendors at least a month before our wedding "because the bride has enough things to worry about". During our meeting to finalize details she brought a list of questions that my husband and I had not even thought of (my favorite - "is there a family member who I should be concerned about on wedding day?"). During early meetings and our rehearsal she made several recommendations that made our wedding even better. Her expertise is truly impressive. A lot of people have asked me if anything went wrong and my answer has always been "Everything was perfect. If something did go wrong, I definitely did not know about it". My husband, family and I could not find a negative thing to say about Jennifer and have already been highly recommending her services to other brides-to-be.

one time, I was able to relax knowing that I was in good hands. She has the right balance of being calm yet has the ability to take care of business is something is not up to standard. The owner at my wedding venue said she was the best wedding coordinator that she has ever worked with. Highly recommended!

lders. My fiance and I had selected all of our vendors and had a clear vision for the evening, so we needed to find someone we trusted to execute the plan. Jennifer did exactly that and more. She instantly impressed us by her prompt responses to our emails and matching our needs with our budget to put together a package for us. She sustained our vision throughout the entire process while adding expertise in managing vendors and events that can only come from years of experience. Our reception involved a large number of vendors and Jennifer kept in contact and finalized plans with them in the last weeks and days before the wedding. It was a huge help as it allowed us to focus more on our ceremony, vows and each other. When there was some confusion between our venue and a rental company Jennifer helped guide us through the process. Even when we had an issue with a food vendor on our wedding night, thankfully, Jennifer was there to deal with the vendor and hold them accountable so we could enjoy the evening. I would suggest that even the most organized bride spends the money on a day-of coordinator and would wholeheartedly recommend Jennifer with STR Events.

stress for us because of Jennifer. I fully believe she made our day as great as it was, we felt like royalty because of how good Jennifer was to us. She catered to us, and anything we needed, it was done. I honestly can't say enough about how impressed I was with her and her assistant. If you are planning a wedding, you need this girl, trust me!

tention to detail, professionalism, responsiveness and ability to work with the many different personalities involved in our wedding was outstanding. She made the event perfect and took all of the stress off of us so we were able to just enjoy the day. If you are lucky enough to find her, hire her immediately! She's absolutely the best.

SR to follow up with vendors a month before and during the wedding. My parents, as well as my husband and I, were able to attend my wedding as the guests of honor and not feel the stress or weight of vendors and our 220 guests. During the ceremony and throughout the reception Jennifer politely followed up and kept things moving. Without her my day would not have been as perfect as it was. Jennifer is 100% worth the money!!!

rted to realize how BIG this event was actually going to be. I I didn't have a coordinator at our church. I did have an on-site coordinator at the reception, but I started to question if I could do this on my own. With stress building, my mom found Jennifer at Something to Remember, and set up an appointment to meet her. I ended up going with my dad, and from the first impression, both of us knew we HAD to have her! I am so incredibly THANKFUL she was available because she absolutely made my ENTIRE wedding day PERFECT! Since I had a few details planned, I went with the Day-of Coordination and we added on meetings throughout the planning process. I was so happy we did that! Jennifer came with me to final meetings and guided me through decisions to make everything cohesive. At our final floral meeting, she ended up planning all of my linen too! I didn't have do anything, and I completely trusted her! She also gave me reccommendations for anything I asked for, and gave me options. I ended up going with the make-up artist she reccommended and she was great! I could call, text, or email her at anytime and she was always available. With Jennifer, I went weeks/months without having to email vendors, make decisions, or follow-up with anyone. She kept in constant contact with everyone, and it allowed me to relax knowing she had everything under control. Having a timeline for the bride, groom, bridal party, parents of the couple, & all the vendors was AMAZING!! Because of that, everything throughout the day was on time and nothing felt rushed! If there were any 'hiccups' or 'bumps in the road', I never knew about them. Jennifer handled rehersal and the day of perfectly. She allowed my husband & I to have the most beautiful day, and we could enjoy every bit of it! I can honestly say I remember everything about the day because Jennifer allowed us time to soak in each moment! At the end of the night, she even brought us drinks during the reception and said, "Go out there and have fun!!" Hiring Jennifer was the BEST decision we made for our wedding, and I couldn't be happier with her services!

singularly responsible for our wedding being the beautiful, blissful, bash that it was. I found Jennifer through an internet search…loved that her photo was ‘real’ not a glamour shot like other planners I had seen online. Jennifer proved to be as real in person as her photo on her website. We immediately clicked and I knew instantly that I could trust her to take our ideas and thoughts and create the wedding/reception that we had envisioned. Our wedding could not have happened without Jennifer. I recommend Jennifer and Something to Remember Events to everyone I see, FABULOUS!!!

ood,cakes were delicious & the flowers and decorations were stunning! The photographer was wonderful and fun as was our DJ. Our guests danced all night then complimented every aspect of the wedding. Truly one of the happiest moments of our lives! Thanks Jennie & Megan for a fabulous weekend.

fer we talked about a lot of things: my vision, how involved I wanted STR to be, & of course my budget. My husband, parents, and I decided that we would need the full service package and I have to say it was money well spent. Jennifer and her team far exceeded my expectations. From researching vendors in my budget, to attending the meetings with the vendors, helping me make informed decisions & taking every idea I had to a whole new level. Jennifer was quick to respond to my correspondences (and my parents), was organized, & helped put me at ease during any anxious moment I had. On the day of the wedding Jennifer and her team took care of everything from schedule, vendor set up, and tear down at the end of the night so our families were truly able to enjoy every minute of what I have to say was a perfect day. Jennifer is knowledgeable, creative, organized, & truly works to make you special day one of a kind. We had so many guests come up to and say "this is the best wedding ever" and we owe it all to STR events! I cannot thank Jennifer and her team enough and would highly recommend them!

ptical of us utilizing a wedding planner to help out; however, after the wedding we heard multiple compliments from our families and wedding party about how organized, efficient, and stress-free everything went thanks to Jennifer. My husband and I couldn't agree more.Jennifer was always quick to respond to our questions, patient with us when we were slow making decisions, and knows so much about working with Columbus wedding vendors. Jennifer was the perfect level of involved giving advice when we needed it but really encouraging us to make our day perfect for us. She went above and beyond in helping us getting things ready even offering to go to an extra meeting with our caterer to make sure everything went perfectly. I cannot thank Jennifer and her team enough for taking away the stress from us and our families and helping us have a wedding day full of beautiful memories.

alized that I would not be able to enjoy the wedding day without the help of a "day of " coordinator. After I did all the hard work of choosing my vendors, Jennifer and her assistant, Brooke, stepped in and made sure that every detail was taken care of on the day of the wedding, and on the days leading up to the wedding. She is hardworking and very organized. I am thankful that I made the decision to use her services. She is "amazing" (quoted by my D.J.). The ceremony and reception were a success, in no small part ,due to Jennifer Drew and Something to Remember Event Services. Wedding: 07/13/2014

idn't have to worry about keeping the event moving. Her vendor recommendations were also very helpful. I found out later that a few things went wrong on the wedding day, but I never would have known - she was able to achieve the appearance that the event was flawless. I only knew about the problems (some issues with the vendor that delivered the chairs, problems with setup, nothing too major) because she told me about them afterwards. Something will always go wrong in an event this size, and the most important thing is that you are able to solve the problem in the moment, and she definitely pulled it off. My husband was very skeptical about the value of hiring a wedding planner. After the wedding, he admitted that Jennifer's help was pretty much invaluable. Every time I was stressed about something, she had a solution. She definitely helped maintain my sanity. I'm very Type A and detail-oriented, but I stressed a lot less because she never missed a detail. Overall, I have nothing but good things to say about Jennifer and STR. We recommended them to a friend and are excited to attend their wedding this weekend. Our friends say the same thing - Jennifer is amazing!

completely relaxed (along with my mother) and everything turned out exactly how I envisioned. The team was onsite the entire day making sure every last detail went off without a hitch, and even made a last minute dress repair ten minutes before I walked down the aisle. I definitely couldn't imagine my wedding day without the help of Something to Remember!

correctly on the day. Jennifer met with us multiple times before our wedding and acted as a liaison between us and our vendors before and during our wedding. We hired her for a day-of-coordinator but she did so much more than that! We were really lucky to have her and loved working with her as well. She heard what we were most excited about and made sure those elements existed, and asked what we were most concerned about and made sure that was executed flawlessly to ease our concerns. I would definitely recommend having a day of coordinator or planner in general depending on how much you want to take on on your own, and Jennifer with Something to Remember Events is amazing! Highly highly recommended!

th her for our big day. Jennifer is very detail oriented and thinks of all the right questions (and then some)! Indian weddings tend to be big and the guests are not easy to direct. Our priest was over an hour late to our ceremony and yet most of our guests didn't even realize it. Per guest reports, Jennifer and her team remained calm and attempted to help in any way possible. Even though Jennifer was on vacation in Hawaii for 10 days before my wedding and only got back a couple days before the event, I would never have known it. She was quick to respond to my emails and continued the planning process even while on vacation. We were able to do most of our planning from emails and phone calls. This was so nice because running around to meetings right before your wedding is hard! I am so happy that we had Something to Remember Event Services hired as our day-of wedding coordinators. They were professional and truly a necessity. I am not quite sure what day would have looked like without them. Many thanks to Jennifer and her team!

mother and father. The peace of mind that Jennifer provided was priceless for my mother and I. It was wonderful working with Jennifer, and I would strongly recommend her services to any bride! Happy Planning! Katie Stamper

for all our needs. She even managed to keep us on budget! She took a lot of the pressure off with all the decisions that had to be made. In the end we had a perfect wedding and reception and it would not have been possible without Jennifer at Something to Remember Event Services.

assist with, big or small. I would have been completely overwhelmed and lost without them. Jennifer helped make my vision a reality by really listening to what I wanted. We picked The Athletic Club of Columbus as our venue, which turned out to be a great choice as Jennfer has planned many weddings there before and was well versed in the layout of the club. The entire wedding from start to finish was better than I even imagined! I definitely would recommend Something to Remember to anyone looking for an amazing wedding planner!

been in multiple weddings and we really thought we had a good grasp of all the details and timeframe involved but it really can be overwhelming. We had all our vendors booked by the time we hired Jennifer but in retrospect it would have been invaluable to have had Jennifer's input and contacts early on as well. We met with Jennifer a few times before it came down to crunch time. She is extremely knowledgeable, highly organized, calm and very helpful. She is that person you want available as you will have dozens and dozens of questions about small and not so small things. She always provided good advice or caught things that didn't jive time wise. About 1 week before the wedding Jennifer started to confirm all our vendors - what a relief. She also created a precise itinerary so everyone knew exactly how the weekend was going to proceed. There were a few vendors that had not responded to me and I had many last minute questions. I forwarded all my questions and concerns and Jennifer took care of everything. She made sure everyone was where they were suppose to be, when they were suppose to be without my daughter or myself stressing. Our pastor does not come to rehearsals, so Jennifer ran our rehearsal flawlessly. The day of, Jennifer and her assistant arrived at our wedding/reception venue early enough to meet all the vendors and insure everything was EXACTLY as we envisioned. There was some blatant disregard of some of our wishes at our venue( and we were booked at an extremely nice club) but Jennifer knew exactly what we wanted and changed some things on her own and insisted that the venue adhere to what we had discussed. She and her assistant also did some last minute setting up of some special things we wanted done. I'm not sure what we would have done without her- who would have done all this? In the meantime, our family and wedding party had a wonderful, fun, stress free day. The ceremony was outside at the reception venue. Once everything started, Jennifer and her assistant seamlessly, discreetly,confidently, perfectly queued us and all vendors so that our ceremony,cocktail hour and reception ran absolutely smashingly. She even distributed our tips- we literally waltzed into our venue and were able to enjoy and savor every moment!! My daughter claims she had a picture perfect, fairy tale wedding. We have Jennifer to thank for that.

o take some of my favorite things, create a vision, and uniquely incorporate them into a wedding I never could have imagined… all in under six months! Outside of the look and feel of the reception, she was also extremely professional and responsive throughout the entire planning process. She ensured the entire day ran smoothly, stayed on time, and everyone got to where they needed to be. If anything went wrong, I had no idea because Jennifer took care of it. I can't recommend Jennifer and StR enough!
