Sunkissed Events & Design

Jill and her team are seriously the best! Jill went above and beyond to make sure my wedding was perfect. Jill was so on top of everything and always there to answer any questions I had. I don’t think I could have planned a wedding without her help.

There are not enough words to describe how much jill and the sunkissed team is appreciated. They go above and beyond and know more than I ever will about how to organize the best wedding. Jill was timely with responses, meetings, everything big to small, she had it down. Everyone needs jill and her team to help pull off a stress free planning process and a smooth wedding day. She's by far the best!

There’s a reason every review for Sunkissed is 5 stars and every vendor we booked said, “Oh good, you have Jill, she is the best” it’s because she is. Hands down best decision we could have made. Only thing I’d change is having her do full planning instead of partial. I had a vision and for most of the planning process I had a difficult time articulating what I wanted, Jill did everything in her power to understand what I was looking for and help me execute it. She was patient and beyond helpful during the planning process, but the week of our wedding was Jill’s super bowl. She was a logistics queen and made sure everything we worked so hard on was ready and perfect. A lot went wrong at our wedding (very much out of her control) but she handled things outside of her scope to make our day as perfect as humanly possible, and because of her efforts, the day really felt perfect. She went above and beyond the day of our wedding and I can say without hesitation that I wouldn’t have trusted anyone else to handle the hiccups as well as she did. She even helped after the wedding as we wrapped up loose ends and finalized things with our vendors. There are a lot of great planners in the area, but if you want someone who will absolutely handle s**t the day-of and everything leading up, Jill is your Lady-boss to go with!

Nothing but great things to say about Jill and her team, they are amazing! Even though Jill we had hired Jill and her team for day of coordination she was instrumental in helping us find a new venue 2 months from the wedding date! Within 24 hours of my initial text she had at least 5 venues with my dates available that were more than happy to help. And of course on the wedding day Jill was there every step of the way and anticipated our every need, from the beginning until the end. There's no way I could have been as calm as I was that day without her, she had it all handled!

Where do I start? Sunkissed Events is what every bride and groom need. We knew we wanted someone to handle any problems that may occur and someone to help give us ideas for our wedding. Jill did exactly that plus so much more. She was in contact with us for the entire year leading up to our wedding. On the day of our wedding, she was their making sure everything was coming together perfectly. She handled all of our vendors, and paid attention to all the small details. After our ceremony, the unforeseen occurred. Our venue lost power, the entire block lost power. Jill turned in Superwoman! My husband and I had absolutely no stress about the situation. Jill explained the circumstance to us and told us that we were going to change a few things around so it flowed better. A humongous generator was in route, and within an hour or two the power was restored. Jill was the saving grace to our wedding.

We used Jill and her team for "day of coordination" and they were so much more than that. We met to discuss the timeline and what I got back was so detailed and when it came to the day of, everything ran so smooth. Lizzie was in charge on our wedding day and she was so sweet and dealt with our crazy wedding party like a champ. They made sure we could eat, assisted us getting a drink and helping us out with any little thing we needed. I can't imagine doing it without them. The Sunkissed team is so professional and overall such a great group to work with!

I don't even know where to start in saying how amazing Sunkissed Events, Jill and her team are. Let me first say, Hurricane Matthew hit our reception at the Cavalier Golf and Yacht Club and our wedding of 150 guests, turned into a sleep over, as the storm trapped us at the venue overnight. I can't imagine how the evening would have gone if it weren't for Jill and her team. Not only did they still make all our wedding events happen (First dance, speeches, cake cutting, dinner, dancing etc. etc. etc.), they kept our guests smiling, happy and safe! I can't even explain the lengths they went through, and as the Bride, I doubt I know an eighth of everything they dealt with and overcame. Our family and all our guests cant stop saying what an unbelievable time they had despite the weather and how amazing Jill and her team are. In addition to the wedding itself, Jill was so helpful during the planning process. She is on top of EVERYTHING and always has a "we got this" attitude. Jill truly feels like family now, and we'll not only be talking about our wedding forever but how happy we are that we went with Sunkissed Events! Thank you to Jill and her team is an understatement!

I can not say enough positive things about Jill & her team! We booked with Jill as a "weekend-of" planner, but she was so much more to us than that! She was available and quick to respond from the day we booked up until the wedding. About a month before the wedding, she pretty much took over. We had some conflicts with our venue that she handled without ever letting me stress over it. Jill ran our wedding like a boss, which is exactly what we needed with the venue we had. Jill & her team were AMAZING, so much fun to work with! The money we spent was by far the best investment for our wedding. Because of her, everything went so smoothly and was so stressfree for my mom, my husband, and I. I could go on & on about how wonderful Sunkissed Events is! Highly recommend them for any of your event planning needs...you won't be disappointed!

Jill and the team at Sunkissed Events are AMAZING. Throughout the planning process and into the wedding, Jill was on top of everything. From helping us to select and negotiate with vendors to fit our vision and budget to brainstorming creative ideas to execute the wedding at our dream venue (the house I grew up in) and handling absolutely everything the week of the wedding so that we could enjoy the moment, Jill went over and beyond. She was cool as a cucumber when we needed to shift to our rain plan and always knew the right thing to do when we asked her for advice. She was quick to respond to our emails and always a step ahead. Jill was super detail-oriented, creative, passionate, and fun to work with. We HIGHLY recommend Sunkissed Events!!

If I could give more stars, I would. 5 isn't even close to enough. Jill is amazing! I booked her for full planning and I knew I was getting a pro. I didn't know I would end up with a great friend. Every step along the way, she was on it! She didn't bat an eye when I called her in tears because my merchant marine fiancé wasn't going to make it home from Africa in time for our wedding. The only other date we could get was supposed to be a much deserved weekend off for her. Instead she simply said, "I knew there was a reason I turned down a bunch of weddings that weekend." Her ideas and visions were incredible and my wedding was beyond beautiful. She came to my dress fittings, she took my calls at 7:00am, she answered my texts at midnight. She made multiple trips to Charlottesville to taste food and meet with vendors. She advocated for me with vendors when I needed her to, she coached me when I didn't know what was what, she made sure I got exactly what I wanted. She was totally calm when we realized 40 minutes BEFORE the ceremony that I forgot to bring ALL THE MIXERS for our signature cocktails!! She was with me every step of the way and never once was she too busy to talk to me. She will do the same for you. My wedding was incredible and it was mostly because of Jill. You will regret it if you don't book her. There's no way I could have made my wedding what it was without her.

Sunkissed events went above and beyond to make our wedding day extra special. I would highly recommend a day of coordinator to anyone getting married-no matter what type of venue you choose to get married in, you would benefit from one. Having Jill and her team present the day of our wedding took so much stress off my husband, my family, and I. Jill helped us set up a time line prior to the wedding, she helped bring my decoration/vision to life the day of our wedding, and she handled dealing with all of our vendors prior to the wedding. Jill and her team went above and beyond to make our wedding day the best day of our lives. This team is the best and your special event would benefit from their talent and expertise to help your event/day run smoothly.

Sunkissed was the perfect coordinator group for us. Jill provided great recommendations and took care of everything we needed. Our venue required a day-of coordinator, and at first we didn't understand why we needed one. I can't imagine the day without Sunkissed! They were so down-to-earth and covered everything we needed and more than we expected!

There are not enough words that can describe how grateful I am for Jill and her staff of Sunkissed Events. Jill is organized and does whatever it takes to help your event run as smooth as possible. I had a very large order for Jill, with my indecisions and crazy bride mind, but she was able to put it all together for me to make our Wedding as perfect as possible. Despite my crazy requests, she was able to pull it off and worked so much harder than I hired her to do. Jill is flexible, available, creative, smart, kind and caring and will meet all your needs and more. Despite the forecast and showers for the day of our wedding, Jill was as determined as I was that we could have our ceremony outside as planned. She literally did everything she could and watched the forecast radar in order to determine the best time to get us the outside ceremony we have always wanted. Even though this would require a lot of coordination and cooperation of all catering and planning staff, they were able to get my ceremony set up outside in a flash and we had just enough time to perform the ceremony just before the rain continued. She did not have to do this, as it was asking a lot, but did because she knew it was important to me. There were many times during the planning process I would call her crying and she always knew the right words to say to keep me calm and focused. She is truly talented at what she does and I am very happy with my decision to hire her. At first I did not want to hire a coordinator, or pay what I knew they would cost me, but I am SOOO happy I did. She is worth every penny and more. Definitely did not disappoint and I trusted her with all decisions. She is very easy to talk to and really takes the time to understand the vision in order to make it right. Super happy with Sunkissed Events & Design and I would recommend her to anyone for their planning and event needs.
