Jailyn and her team did an amazing job!! I reached out a month before my wedding and her got us all taken care of and our day went off without any problems thanks to them!!
Jailyn is truly an angel of a human being. I knew from the very first phone call we had nine months ago that it was meant to be. Every meeting leading up to the wedding went amazin...
gly, and her attention to detail is truly elite.
She never once stopped taking care of us on our wedding day. From start to finish, she made sure we were calm, supported, and able to fully enjoy every moment without stress. She even stayed later to help clean and pack up everything at the end of the night, which speaks volumes about her dedication and heart. My family bragged on her so much for all her help along with Lilly!
Her assistant Lilly was also incredible — always attentive, kind, and right there whenever we needed anything. Together, they made our wedding day run flawlessly. Jailyn didn’t just feel like our wedding planner; she felt like someone who genuinely cared about us and our day.
I truly cannot recommend Jailyn and To Have and To Hold Events enough. We are forever grateful 🤍
Forever Grateful for Jailyn and Her Amazing Team!!!
From the very first conversation, Jailyn was an absolute dream to work with and I knew she was the wedding coordinator for me. ...
She’s kind, calm, and collected... which is exactly the kind of person you want by your side when planning and executing one of the biggest days of your life.
She’s incredibly knowledgeable about the wedding industry, and it truly shows. Jailyn offered great advice throughout the planning process but also really listened to our vision and never tried to sway us… she just made everything even better.
Jailyn is punctual, organized, and on top of every little detail. Thanks to her, our wedding day was completely seamless, literally nothing went wrong! Jailyn even introduced us to the idea of a sand ceremony, which fit us perfectly and became one of our favorite parts of the day.
On the wedding day, Jailyn and her assistant Mozelle were amazing. They worked so hard behind the scenes to make everything run smoothly, all while keeping such positive, joyful energy. You can tell they truly love what they do, and that made all the difference. They are a dream team!!
We honestly couldn’t have pulled off such a perfect day without them. To Have & To Hold Events is the real deal - 10/10 recommend! 💕
It is almost impossible for me to put into words what having "To Have and Hold Events" part of our wedding meant.. but I will certainly try.
Jailyn Hicks is a consummate professi...
onal who stepped in and turned our wedding dreams into reality. She and her team were consistently communicative, without being intrusive; and took charge of the event without ever being overbearing. Jailyn and team handled all vendor communication, and ensured that everyone was where they needed to be when they needed to be there. Once she took over the management of our wedding, I felt so relaxed and at ease, knowing that someone with an impeccable work ethic and uncompromising attention to detail was in the lead. The peace of mind and overall calm that having Jailyn and team onboard for our wedding gave us, is something that can never be quantified. Lateef and I are eternally grateful for all that they did to make our wedding so beautiful and flawlessly executed. I even had a last minute dress mishap that Jailyn and team were able to resolve in an instant!
I would give Jailyn and her team 1,000,000 stars if I could, and would recommend her and her team to anyone wanting a carefree experience for your wedding that will allow you to actually enjoy it. That is exactly what they did for me and my husband. Thank you Jailyn and the entire team. We cannot thank you enough for all that you did to make our day one that we will never forget.

She handled every hiccup with grace and kept everything running smoothly so my husband and I could actually be present and enjoy our day. Jailyn went above and beyond, not just coordinating logistics but genuinely supporting us through the entire experience.

and to see her thrive in this industry, she was made for it. She was such a quick problem solver and made sure I didn’t have one ounce of stress on our wedding day. From the bad weather, to needing to pivot to different plans last minute, she truly handled it all. Without Jailyn, this wedding truly wouldn’t have happened.

where do I even start?! Jailyn was everything I didn’t know I needed for my wedding. Jailyn is literally a wedding planning wizard—she handled every little detail so I didn’t have ...
to stress (aka spiral into full-on panic mode). From vendor recommendations to the timeline to making sure everything ran smoothly on the big day, she was ON IT. I actually got to enjoy my wedding without worrying about a thing, and it turned out even better than I imagined. If you’re debating whether to hire a planner—this is your sign. 10/10, no notes.
