She ensured that things ran smoothly and having her and her team meant that my husband and I, our bridal party, our families, and our guests could truly just enjoy the wedding. I highly recommend Jennifer and her team for any Columbus-area couple!

Macedonian traditions, and she was able to make all of our events at multiple locations throughout the city be on time and run smoothly! She made sure I was calm and having the most perfect day of my life, and for that I cannot thank Jen more! Even after the wedding she made sure to follow up with vendors and get everything squared away! I honestly did not have to lift a finger on the wedding day, and was able to enjoy it fully! Don’t think twice and BOOK Jen & team! Thank you again, Jen for making our day a true fairytale!

rney , we truly did not know where to begin - we reached out to a few wedding planning services here in Columbus but Jennifer's wealth of knowledge, expertise and professionalism are what drew us to her and her planning services. Then throughout the journey Jennifer was truly there to make the event that we wanted and was so so helpful, she knew what vendors would work for us !! Plus just an overall joy to work with , so nice and made us feel so comfortable along the way. She truly took our vision and made it into a reality beyond our wildest dreams! She took the brunt of all of the stress and craziness and made us feel totally at ease. As an example ; our wedding cake bakery closed a couple of weeks before our wedding and by the NEXT day she had a baker ready to make the same cake at the same price - just shows she has deep and strong contacts in the wedding industry that she is able to lean on. Then the week / day of - I truly can't imagine going through the day and not having her there to guide us and help us with the logistics and the overall design. Because of her meticulous planning we knew exactly where to be and when and everything went off according to plan! Walking into the reception the day of my wedding will live as a core memory - truly was magical and insanely beautiful , it was all a testament to Jennifer , her team and all the wonderful vendors that she engaged for us. Can't say enough amazing words about Jennifer and The Finer Things Event Planning - would recommend to anyone who is looking for the best planning & design services out there!!

and made our ideas come to life for our wedding day. As a bride that has a demanding work schedule, Jennifer was supportive every step of the way and made wedding planning a stress-free experience. Jennifer gave suggestions and coordinated all of our vendors and it gave us comfort that Jennifer knew all of these vendors and they were all fantastic. I can't say enough amazing things about Jennifer and her team at the Finer Things Event Planning!

nd money and made sure there were no issues. Very organized and respected in the industry. She solved problems before they existed. I would recommend her to anyone.

-free while also pulling off our dream wedding. Jennifer is organized, attentive, creative, so easy to work with and always made herself available for calls, meetings, emails, & texts – anything we needed! Being an out-of-town bride planning a Columbus wedding, Jennifer was a huge asset since I couldn’t be in person for everything. She made good use of my time whenever I was in town so we could knock out all of our planning needs and I still had time to enjoy with my friends and family. Jennifer was insanely helpful at guiding us through the full planning process and connecting us with all of the best vendors. Every vendor she recommended to us was amazing and it was so reassuring knowing she already has relationships with each of the vendors and was well versed in how they all operated. As far as wedding design, Jennifer knew exactly the vision we were going for and completely brought it to life our wedding weekend! She worked her magic and ensured every single detail fit our vision. Jennifer had amazing and super creative suggestions for everything from table design to our grand entrance, which all ended up being some of our favorite and most complimented parts of our wedding. The design was so cohesive, and she thought of everything! She made our wedding even better than we were dreaming it would be! The best part was heading into the wedding weekend and getting to truly enjoy spending the time with my friends and family because I knew Jennifer had EVERYTHING handled.

ecommended to us, as well. There are a million tiny details that go into wedding planning and Jennifer has thought of all of them and knows how to make them perfect. Her creativity is unmatched, and whenever we mentioned wanting to do things less traditionally, she always met the challenge with enthusiasm and came up with some incredibly beautiful and unique ideas. She never made us feel like we were being difficult or unreasonable, even when we had some unconventional requests. She told us in our initial consultation that she wanted our wedding to feel very uniquely "us", and she more than delivered. We were blown away by her thoughtfulness and attention to detail, and we appreciated her input that was helpful without ever trying to pressure us to do things one way or another. Throughout the entire planning process, she was outstanding to work with. She's very responsive and available, she accommodated our tricky work schedules when it came to planning calls and vendor meetings, and she was just so much fun to work with! We are bummed that our time working with her is over! She was excellent support and would follow up with vendors as many times as necessary until we were comfortable and excited about every detail. She was also great about just checking in with us to make sure we were feeling good about everything throughout the process. While we had ideas of what we did and didn't want, we didn't always have clear visions, but she found ways to take our ideas and make them really spectacular. The entire wedding felt very personalized and unique, and so stunning and elegant. She really gets to know her clients very personally and has a talent for translating that into an event that encapsulates them perfectly. Finally, the entire planning process and especially the day of were so easy, both for us and for our families. Jennifer handled every detail and made sure our day was absolutely perfect. If anything went wrong, we never knew it, and it was so great not having to stress or worry about anything the whole weekend because we knew Jennifer had it all covered. She's the best, and we can't thank her enough for helping us plan the most beautiful and perfect day!

hips with all of the vendor and was extremely helpful at narrowing down endless lists to the few "best" options. With all of the decisions required in wedding planning, this really helped my stress and gave me comfort that I was making the right choices. She did an excellent job of bringing our vision to fruition while layering in suggestions and improvements - it was truly the wedding of our dreams. On the weekend of the wedding, I knew all logistics were handled so we could focus on enjoying ourselves and living in the moment. I cannot say enough great things about Jennifer - she was the best decision I made for our wedding!

meone keep everything moving along was invaluable. Especially helpful on wedding day/wedding weekend- I didn’t have to worry about a thing and could enjoy every moment.

as so helpful when I wasn’t sure of a decision. I can’t recommend her enough! our wedding went so smooth and we were able to enjoy every bit of it without a worry!

rofessionalism help couples have the best wedding days. We appreciate the extra effort she puts into making sure all of the wedding vendors are on the same team. Look no further for our luxury wedding. TFTEP is what you are looking for.

g planning. We loved every single vendor we worked with, and every day since the wedding have gotten a comment from one of our guests about how beautiful, well-executed, and fun our event was. The highest praise we can give is that the week and day of the event were an absolute breeze, allowing us to focus on each other and our friends and family. Our wedding day really was the best day of our lives, and we owe so much of that to Jennifer.

o life. She did so much work behind the scenes to make our families lives easier during a chaotic planning period. She was prompt on all communications and goes above and beyond. When we had road blocks on the day of the wedding Jennifer swooped in and had plan a,b & c all lined up. I can’t say enough good things about The Finer Things Event.

coordinated with them all. We had a large wedding that spanned the entire day and I truly couldn't have pulled it off without her. She is timely, organized, and so sweet to work with.

oriented, visionary, and experienced person in town, and she is wonderful to work with. Jennifer brings solid, strong relationships with all the key vendors across all aspects of the wedding to orchestrate a perfect, seamless and stress free day. As my wife and I rehashed the entire wedding weekend, we both said we didn't have a single bit of stress the entire weekend... only joy and happiness while celebrating our daughter and her new husband. Jennifer and her team receive all of that credit. Every detail was planned so that we could relax and enjoy the day. She works with her clients to create their vision for the day and she executes to ensure that vision becomes reality and is both special and unique. As our weekend unfolded, we saw that special and unique vision everywhere we looked. Hiring Jennifer was by far the best decision we made. There is a reason that engaged couples want a "Finer Things" wedding. They are perfect.

d truly made our wedding the most special and beautiful day.

rvices months before our big day! Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!! From super helpful recommendations (i.e. best hotel blocks in the area, Etsy vendor suggestions for wedding goods, etc), to managing everyone on our wedding day to ensure things ran smoothly, you were the reason our day went perfectly!!! I have already, and will continue to recommend you to everyone I know. If you are reading this review as a bride or groom to be, do it - book The Finer Things Event Planning because you will be so happy and thankful that you did! :)

nner. She will be with you every step of the way to ensure your day is exactly as you want it to be. I didn’t stress a single thing the day of my wedding because I knew with confidence that Jennifer was there. My wedding was all I dreamed of and more, and most of the credit goes to Jennifer. Hands down the best money we spent!

e it happen- LOL! You were extremely professional, patient and constantly stayed on top of everything! You made sure everything ran smoothly from the preparations to the day of the wedding (even fixing my train before I walked down the aisle!) If we could describe superwoman you would be it!!! 100% worth the investment!!! We will and have been recommending you to everyone we know!!!!! Thanks again! Tina and Shay

r helped us plan the wedding in only 6 months, yet every detail was attended to with great detail. She answered so many texts and emails from us throughout the planning process, helped our vision for the day come to life, and provided a peace of mind that we had a professional who genuinely cared about our wedding day. My husband, my mom and I were all able to enjoy the wedding because we knew that Jennifer had carefully gone through every detail with us beforehand and we had the confidence that if something went wrong she would be there to help fix it. We could not have planned our wedding without the Finer Things Event planning and we are so grateful to have trusted Jennifer with such an important day in our lives!

issed a beat. She had back up venue options ready before I had even considered moving the venue. She secured all our vendors for our second date and helped make moving things around seamless. Most importantly, she helped us plan a safe and awesome event that was true to my original vision. I can’t say enough wonderful things another Jennifer...she made my day absolutely perfect.

te was April 25 2020...after COVID Jennifer quickly got us re booked for September 4, 2020. That was a feat in and of itself to get all vendors and Bride and Groom together AGAIN in same date. Shortly before new wedding date we found ourselves scrambling to change venues..another challenge met and accomplished with the help of Jennifer and her team! Throughout the entire planning process, in the days leading up to and on the day of,Jennifer was always onestep ahead of us in her planning and anticipating how things might or might not proceed and she was there making sure whatever needed to happen happened to keep things moving beautifully! Jennifer and her amazing team of vendors made our daughter and son in laws vision come to life in spite of the twists and turns of this wedding season! She gave both families the best gift ever by managing everything so that we could take in every moment of the day and truly enjoy the celebration bringing our two families together. Our entire family has come to benefit from and appreciate Jennifer Kontomerkos’s professionalism and we also consider her an honorary member of our family! Her team deserves praise as well. Dalay Ket Florals, KimberlyPotterf Photography, Prodigy Video, The Paper Vow, Conspiracy Band, Full Face Artistry, Michelle Willoughby & Carries Sugar Buzz. They each played such a special part in our day and Jennifer connected us to each one of them! Any Bride and Groom would be lucky to have Jennifer and The Finer Things Event Planning heading up their wedding planning team!

zed and detail oriented. Every vendor that we booked would comment on how they love working her weddings because everything runs so smoothly. Of course planning a wedding in 2020 was not smooth! Our original date was in June, when we started discussing rescheduling, Jennifer spoke to our vendors and gave us the dates that we'd have available. When we made the decision to postpone, within 24 hours Jennifer had moved everything and I had all the new contracts in my email ready to go. I really don't know what we would have done without her! The day of our wedding went so smoothly, every second of the timeline was well planned, everyone knew where to be, and there was scheduled downtime so I never got super stressed or hectic. It was honestly such a relaxed day! Thank you so much Jennifer, you are absolutely fantastic, such a gem and we were so lucky to have you!!

etail is incredible and her talent for planning events is unmatched by any other planner. We can’t thank her enough for everything she has done for our family. I would recommend her services to anyone planning an event. Trust me, she’s worth every penny!

r I would suggest her without any hesitation! She has amazing relationships with many vendors, which truly speaks to her talents. She made our vision for everything come to life. From hair, makeup, food, florals, and decor--everything was perfect! She went above and beyond in every way! Thank you for everything, Jennifer!

ld me about Jennifer and on the day my daughter got engaged, I called Jennifer too. My daughter’s wedding was everything we wanted and more! The planning and day of were absolutely stress-free and fun for us as mother and daughter. I have never met a more organized professional or one who is so highly regarded by everyone she works with. We were truly able to enjoy our once in a lifetime wedding experience to the fullest because of Jennifer’s expertise and attention to detail. She makes everything easier and more beautiful than you can possibly imagine, she is creative in so many ways, and she is quickly responsive to any questions. I can recommend Jennifer without reservation, and I wish I could do it all again!

had zero stress on the biggest day of my life. Jennifer spent hours with my family talking details, ideas, when things needed to be done, and how to throw the best event for my husband and I, our family, and friends. Even when I made mistakes on my guest list (which does happen) she looked over everything I sent her. Thank you for being amazing and making my dream wedding a reality! There is no way a review can even describe how we feel about what all she did for us!

weekend. We had a large wedding with a lot of out of town guests and we wanted to make sure they all felt welcome the entire time they were in Columbus. She helped us plan a full weekend of activities including the rehearsal dinner, ceremony, reception and morning after brunch, walking us through the entire planning process and recommending amazing vendors all along the way. She was accommodating of our busy work schedules and was always available to listen to our ideas and answer any questions we had. We’re so grateful for everything Jennifer did to make our weekend one we will absolutely never forget!

ing and especially on the day-of. From beginning to end, our wedding day/weekend was absolutely perfect. My friends & family are still talking about it 6 months later.

a wedding planner then get Jennifer. You won’t regret it!

wedding. She is without a doubt a class act. She pays meticulous attention to detail, eliminated nearly all of the stress of wedding planning, and she planned the wedding of our absolute wildest dreams. She goes above and beyond with planning and the ease of communication is unmatched— answers all emails, text messages, and phone calls without hesitation. She even went completely out of her way to come to my final dress fitting to learn my bustle as all my close friends and family are out of state. Our wedding day was honestly perfect. It was the best day of our lives, and it was quite literally the most beautiful wedding any of our friends and family have ever seen — it was all because of Jennifer and her unsurpassed expertise. We could not have done any of it without her thoughtful guidance and careful coordination. When she recommended a vendor, we had no doubt that they would be the best of the best simply because she was recommending them. Every single vendor she recommended was phenomenal, and they were all such a delight to work with. With her as our team leader, our wedding day was absolutely stress-free. She created a magnificent timeline, and she orchestrated the day flawlessly. Jennifer also provided the decor for our wedding reception, and it was nothing short of spectacular. I have no doubt that she is the best and most qualified wedding planner, and we recommend her to anyone planning a wedding. She is worth her weight in gold. Thank you so much Jennifer.

ws her role and can laugh with you regarding some wild vision you might have thought of for the reception. She know how to let you take the lead and then how to reel you in for reality. She was the reason my daughter and new son-in-laws' wedding day was flawless. She is worth her weight in gold. She deserves 10 stars!!!!!

of the stress away and we were able to fully enjoy the wedding and planning process!

did for our wedding. Jen streamlined the entire process and was able to make the day of our wedding such a stress-free experience. Leading up to the day of our wedding Jen coordinated options for us for every vendor and facilitated our vision in every way possible. She made the entire process stress-free and easy to navigate. I was planning my wedding in a city I wasn't familiar with while in the chaos of Law School and Jen made it a breeze. Jen worked with vendors she was familiar with while also implementing local vendors from my hometown that I requested. She was always organized and professional while also being fun, friendly and making me feel like a close friend. She always had every detail I was wanting under control! Jen did an amazing job at sourcing specific ideas I was wanting for my vision and giving me ideas for things I wasn't sure on. She took care of all our rentals, scheduling and all the behind details you couldn't even imagine. On top of all the things leading up, Jen was an absolute angel on our wedding day. TFTEP team seamlessly set up an amazing and stunning ceremony space, while also flipping the entire space in just an hour to look completely transformed for our reception. Jen and her team took care of everything the day of and made it so myself, my family and my bridal party didn't have a single worry. it was the best feeling being surrounded by my bridal party and my mom especially without the anxiety of what was happening while we were trying to get ready. The day ran so smoothly knowing Jen and her team had the final details under control. When my cake fell Jen and Karen at the Hilton ran to Whole Foods and came back with the cutest impromptu cake so my husband and I had something to cut. This is just one of the many many wonderful things Jen and her team took care of. I can't say thank you enough to TFTEP!!!

t once we met with Jennifer it was clear she was exactly what we needed to ensure our planning be made less stressful, our wedding day run smoothly, and all of our wedding visions and wishes come true!! 20/10 recommend Jennifer from Finer Things Event Planning! Jennifer has been doing this for years and knows exactly what it takes to make your vision come to life. She knew the perfect vendors for everything – from florals, to hair and makeup, to all the rentals you don’t even know that you need. She also helps to make sure everything stays within budget!! We had a very specific look and pattern, and she called dozens of places to find what we needed. Every detail was immaculate. We are so grateful we chose Jennifer and you will not regret having such an experienced planner in your corner!

t from me, CHOSE JENNIFER!! She made everything so incredibly easy and fun for me. 6 months before my wedding, I moved out of town and started a new job. Because of Jennifer, I didn't once worry about also having to plan a wedding on top of all of that. I had visions in my head of what I wanted my wedding to look like, but somehow Jennifer made it even more beautiful and magical than I could have ever imagined. Every single vendor she picked went above and beyond my wildest dreams. My wedding looked like something straight out of Pinterest--I was in awe. Not only was the entire day beautiful, but she made sure that it all ran smoothly and I never once had to worry about a single thing. There aren't enough words to describe all that she did, how wonderful she was to work with, and how she made my wedding day the best day of my life.

ely commented to each other before, during, and after the big day that hiring her and her team as our wedding planner was hands-down the single best decision we made in the entire process. Simply put, our wedding was absolutely perfect and the best day of our lives, and without a doubt it was because of Jennifer. From start to finish, she was always readily available, answering countless text messages and emails at all hours of the day/night, and working around our busy schedules for our planning meetings. In terms of the actual planning and decision making, Jennifer was amazing at interpreting our varying range of opinions, tastes, and inspirations (sometimes as simple as a single Instagram post) and turning it into a concrete decision consisting of a manageable set of great options while working within our budget. She nailed the delicate balance of providing plenty of guidance (which was usually sorely needed) without overly driving us towards decisions we may not have preferred. She was always upfront with us and never afraid to share strong stances on topics, and yet we still felt that every decision was our own. Jennifer provided a great deal of financial value in the sense that we saved money on pretty much every vendor we used because of her stellar relationships with them. However, greater than any monetary return was the peace of mind she provided throughout the entire process. With Jennifer, you knew every vendor she recommended would be spectacular. You knew all the many decisions that needed to be made would be discussed, detailed, and decided with the upmost attention, and even more importantly, be done so when they needed to be. You knew that all the wedding stakeholders (family members, wedding party, etc) would be provided all the information, guidance, and in some cases personality management required, regardless of the wildly varying types of personalities involved. You knew that the day of the wedding, she would be the first one there and the last one to leave, providing minute-by-minute coordinating and ready to handle any of the uncertainties that were certain to occur. Ultimately, you knew you were not just getting a wedding planner, but a close friend who was personally invested in the success of your big day and your happiness. I could go on and on about Jennifer’s impeccable style, professionalism, and drive. We could not thank Jennifer enough for her efforts and we recommend her to anyone even thinking about getting married. Thank you Jennifer!!!!

make sure our day came together perfectly! We were planning a wedding in the Columbus area from out of state and she was always very flexible on days/times to meet with us and would never turn down an extra meeting if we felt like we needed it. Although her entire team was great, we didn't meet them until the day of our wedding, and I loved that we worked exclusively with Jen through the entire planning process. Her attention to detail is amazing- she will make sure every single thing you could possibly think of is taken care of. I distinctly remember being a total ball of nerves and slightly panicking at our rehearsal over small things that I had forgotten and she was so calm, cool, and collected about whatever it was (I can't even remember at this point) that it set my mind at ease and I knew she was going to have everything where it needed to be. This lady can handle anything you throw at her and turn it into something even better than expected. Seriously, pick her. You won't be disappointed!

took all the stress out of it. She kept us on task by reaching out every so often with a decision or 2 we needed to make, the deadline and friendly reminders when we needed them. She has an incredible network on vendors she works with here in Columbus and her powers of coordination are top notch. Not only is she coordinating, but also doing the work. I would see instagram posts of her staining decor items or designing the name and table board. She is also creative in coming up with ways to wow your guests, like a champaign swing, a round bar (which was a stunner), roaming cocktails, ombre seating assignment board and so much more. She keeps her cool and yours, too. At the rehearsal dinner, it down-poured. But she kept everyone calm and organized, switching things up to accommodate the weather. Then on the day of the wedding, it was so hot and humid and her family was out helping us with chairs and setup. She gives her all to make your day incredibly special. I can't recommend Jennifer highly enough. She will make your wedding planning a breeze and your wedding magical!

w through was amazing from the start and up to the last minute prior to the wedding; and on Wedding day, Jennifer had total control of every detail we could think of. In short, Jennifer is the kind of person who would put her heart in her planning while providing an ease of mind at times of tension. It would be a pleasure to recommend Jennifer to anyone who desires delegating the duties of a wedding occasion while celebrating the best memories of the day.

ress out of wedding planning (a very impressive task) by gently reminding us of upcoming due dates for our decisions/tasks and constantly awing us with her unique and creative suggestions. Despite the many moving parts of our event-packed wedding weekend, Jennifer perfectly executed every minute detail of our plan, making our wedding PERFECT. Can't speak highly enough of Jennifer - you must hire her!!!

and also live out of state and it was not problem for her. We never had to worry about a thing. If there was ever anything to worry about we would have never known because shes always 1000 steps in front of you. Jennifer put us in contact with the best possible vendors, we loved everyone we worked with. Jennifer truly became a third parent to us in this process, we miss her already. She's available any time you need her and so accessible. I recommend her to everyone I can. If you want to be stress free and truly enjoy your wedding, Jennifer if your gal!

s with the best, so we never had to second guess our vendors or worry that something would fall through the cracks. She made it easy to actually enjoy planning our big day!
