Two Little Birds Planning

e day of the wedding.

rything they did, how professional and responsive they were, and how kind and caring they were to us and our guests. We highly recommend everyone get a wedding planner to keep their sanity, and would recommend Jaclyn and her team 10 times over for anyone looking.

raise them enough. Our fall wedding went without a hitch and they seriously think of things you won't even consider. Well here's something not to hesitate on -- hiring them!

o do. She was on every call and helped us make every decision. She helped with venders and just keeping everything in line. Jaclyn made our vision come to life. The entire process was SO easy with her. Every little detail was PERFECT. People told me “be prepared for something to go wrong” let me tell you, if something went wrong, I knew nothing about it, Jaclyn made sure everything was PERFECT. I was pretty upset the day of the wedding because I had lost a little weight and my boobs weren’t sitting right. Well don’t worry they had sticky boob tape and put my girls right where I wanted them. Then my bustle of my dress broke, the button popped off, don’t worry Jaclyn had safety pins and within 2 minutes I was back out dancing. Jaclyn was more than a wedding planner, she truly is a friend to us now. I remember the morning of the wedding I was having a lot of butterflies, to the point of tears. She calmed me down, made me feel relaxed and supported me the way your friends do. I can not express how amazing this experience was with Jaclyn. If you are considering a wedding planner PLEASE hire Jaclyn, you will not regret it! (Ps I interviewed 4 other wedding planners and loved Jaclyn from the very start and knew I had to have her!) best decision I made for my wedding!

gs out. She really takes the time to get to know you as a couple and helps bring your vision to life! She allowed us to kick back and just enjoy our day and focus on getting married and she took care of the rest!

best decision we could've made. Her years of experience, flexibility, and understanding of what was truly important to us made planning and re-planning our wedding a fantastic experience. From the Amalfi Coast, to a prospective local venue, to ultimately hosting our micro wedding in our backyard, Jaclyn helped us navigate all of our options during the most uncertain time. She brought our vision to life, can't recommend her enough!

nthly to-dos, but she made wedding planning fun and took the stress out of the process which allowed us to focus on the most important thing - our love. When COVID-19 drastically changed our wedding plans after over a year of planning, Jaclyn was the first person we turned to. Within 24hrs of making the decision to postpone our large reception to 2021, Jaclyn had new contracts in place with all of our vendors and she was already putting a plan in motion for our intimate 2020 ceremony. Throughout the entire planning process, Jaclyn made sure that my husband and I both had our voices heard and that our wedding was uniquely us. We are very lucky to know Jaclyn and cannot thank her enough for bringing us the intimate wedding of our dreams. I am so excited that we get to work with her for another year!

could pick and choose our services, and she was not the least bit pushy. We decided that in addition to day-of coordination, she would also provide vendor recommendations, a timeline with planning tasks, monthly check-in emails, and contract review. She knows the local vendors and has their previous contracts, so if they've offered deals to previous clients, she'll advocate for you to get the same. When it comes to actually asking for changes or addressing questionable policies, Jaclyn handles the dirty work for you in a professional way. Most of our vendors already knew her, and they sang her praises from the start. Her monthly check-in emails with my monthly "to do's" were fantastic and flexible. I was impressed in our first year and a half together, but once COVID started ruining our wedding plans, that's when we realized just how lucky we were to have Jaclyn on our team. We decided on a Sunday evening at 9:30 PM that we needed to reschedule our wedding. My fiance and I are residents working 80 hour weeks, so no way we were going to be able to handle all of this coordination. But we never had to because we had Jaclyn. The next day, at 7:52 AM she texted me that she had new contracts for our band and florist. At 9:42 AM she had confirmed the makeup artist. At 9:49 AM, the venue. At 10:55, she had identified an associate of our original photographer (who would not be available on the new date) who could fill in and had sent me links to her work. Who is capable of this?! Jaclyn. Jaclyn is capable of this. Our friends and family kept asking how they could help and saying how stressful rescheduling must be. While the decision to postpone was difficult and sad, the rescheduling process was a breeze for us because Jaclyn took that on for us. Part 2, After May 2021 wedding actually happened! As if we could have loved Jaclyn more. We finally got to hold our celebration in May 2021, after two postponements. Jaclyn handled both postponements beautifully, rescheduling our vendors and obtaining new contracts without us ever having to lift a finger. Beyond that, she never asked for additional fees to extend her services. In the meantime, before our rescheduled wedding celebration, my husband and I had a baby, so we had that added to our plate in the months leading up to our event. Jaclyn again stepped up, communicating directly with our vendors and advocating for us when our caterer imposed some questionable COVID policies. On the day of, she was accompanied by two assistant planners, who were just as organized, attentive, and thorough as Jaclyn. It was clear that she sees them as extensions of herself, and we loved seeing them work together as a seamless team. They even checked in with me to see if I needed pumping or breastfeeding breaks during the event, grabbed food and drinks for us, and one of them looked after our son while we took photos outside. Members of our bridal party made multiple comments about how impressive Jaclyn and her team were and half-jokingly asked if she offered life planning. If we had to redo our whole day and could only rehire one vendor, Jaclyn and her team would be that vendor, no questions. Thank you, Jaclyn!!!

ience connected us with the best wedding vendors, and she guided us on how to make our day special to us. I was not as anxious as I was expecting to be in the weeks leading up to the wedding, and that is because I had Jaclyn by my side. Jaclyn’s attention to detail and responsiveness made me feel like we were her only wedding, even though she was plenty busy! Our wedding wouldn’t have been the same without Jaclyn, and we are so grateful for her and her team’s central role in making our wedding, and the whole planning experience, the best for us. Thank you Jaclyn!

re importantly, we were most appreciative of her very special personality, combining kindness with the ability to make things happen - all the while giving us comfort and confidence that everything would be perfect. It was.

d did a great job negotiating vendor contracts for us. As someone with a Type A personality, I have trouble letting go of control, but Jaclyn was always one step ahead of me and had things done before I could even worry about them. On the day of our wedding, Jaclyn and her two Assistants had everything under control and we did not have to think about a single detail other than enjoying our day. If anything went not to plan (although I seriously doubt that Jaclyn & her team would have let that happen), neither my husband nor I knew about it because they just took care of it. At the end of the night, we got to just go to our after-party while Jaclyn & her team finished cleaning up, packing up, and driving everything back to our apartment for us. We could not have asked for anything more!

ughout the entire process. There are so many things I would have forgotten if it weren’t for TLB like having a second photographer, setting up the day before and even taking a last minute shipment of umbrellas for me because we were planning from out of town. They helped to fill out all the paper work that I didn’t even know we needed and made sure our ducks were in a row. Amanda was awesome at finding a last minute Italian bakery to make the sepcialty desserts we decided to add to the spread last minute. I am so grateful for their help and would recommend them to anyone!

edding, always helping with things we let slip or needed the extra set of hands - and with the best attitude. And Jaclyn... she is a PRO. Seriously that woman works magic. On our wedding day, Jaclyn kept everything moving along so naturally without ever being pushy or appearing stressed. She was the picture of calm, collected, and fun! I can't recommend them enough.

because Jaclyn was there to see to everything. You are the best!

ish, and she helped us in every way imaginable. She provided emotional support when things were stressful and practical support when we didn't know what we were doing. She made sure our wedding went off without a hitch, but also took the time to help us make the wedding uniquely us. We interviewed a handful of wedding planners initially. All of our consults went well, but there was one thing about our free consult with Jaclyn that stood out: it was nearly two hours long! It turns out that wasn’t a coincidence — it was truly representative of how she treats her couples. Over the twelve months we worked with her, she never once made us feel like we were taking too much of her time. It relieved so much stress to know that all we needed to do was get a call on the calendar with Jaclyn and she’d spend as much time as we needed to talk through everything on our minds. And it wasn’t just the time she spent with us that relieved stress; her sense of humor and warmth meant we always ended our marathon calls feeling better and happier than when they’d started. Jaclyn's knowledge of the Philadelphia wedding scene was particularly helpful given that we were planning the wedding remotely. For each vendor, she provided us with a curated list customized to our price-point and preferences, saving us hours of googling. All of her lists were on point. She also has relationships with seemingly every wedding vendor in Philly, and those relationships pay off. If a vendor ever told us they couldn't do something, Jaclyn would step in and almost always get us what we wanted, and she saved us money on more than one occasion. We moved halfway across the country without much notice a few months before our wedding. Suddenly, we were overwhelmed with life. Jaclyn had been great up to that point, but she took it to another level when she heard the news. At one point, she even highlighted a long email from a vendor so I only had to read the important parts, and she let us ship all of our decor to her house. At our rehearsal on Friday morning, we got a call from a rehearsal dinner vendor that they’d never received our payment and wouldn’t make the scheduled delivery. Jaclyn immediately stepped in and figured it out; five months later, we barely remember how it got sorted out, and it's moments like those that make us realize how lucky we were to have not only hired a planner, but to have hired one who takes initiative and gets things done. The wedding itself went off without a hitch, and that is a testament to Jaclyn and her team. She always made sure we had a drink in our hands and our favorite food on the table, and she went out of her way to make sure we (and our parents) got to try every single dessert. Knowing she was there allowed us to truly not worry about logistics and just enjoy the night. The fact that we actually kind of miss planning our wedding all these months later is a testament to her and much fun she made the process. Hiring a wedding planner isn’t cheap, but it’s one of the best decisions we’ve made as a couple. She kept us on task, encouraged us to dream big, was willing to tell us when an add-on wasn’t worth it, and mostly importantly, made sure the weekend was truly about us.

huge advocate for making sure that the happy couple made thoughtful decisions and their style really showed through. She had things things under control yet flexible when needed to be and gracious during the whole process. I could not have dreamed of a better experience from beginning to end. Thanks Jaclyn for executing to perfection! and our standards are high!

ife and planning the wedding that much easier without getting distracted or breaking the bank. Every time I panicked about a conflict, not only did Jaclyn appease those concerns but she always came up with a clever idea to overcome whatever obstacle I faced. She's super organized, extremely personable, and really really knows her stuff! If you're concerned about the cost of her services, I'm telling you, Jaclyn is worth EVERY PENNY.... through her organization and vendor recommendations she can actually SAVE you money! I'd hire Jaclyn again in a heartbeat!

She also works to make the wedding exactly what you want, and tries hard to make it reflect you. She's incredibly organized and keeps everyone calm throughout the entire process. Plus she's fun. Can't recommend her highly enough!

so clearly on top of everything and was such a calming influence that we were able to really sit back and relax - even the week before the wedding wasn't stressful. When the day came, Jaclyn made sure everything went according to plan. We really cannot overstate how helpful she was.

en recommending vendors (hair/makeup and bands) she provided options several price points that allowed us to prioritize what was important to us. We are not local to Philadelphia, where our venue was, so it was reassuring that Jaclyn had extensive experience with other out-of-town couples. Coming to the big week she was very helpful in arranging all of the details and coordinating our vendors so we did not need to worry about. We had a few last minute snafus regarding our after-party (that we had booked without her help) and she was able to step in and help out so we didn't need to worry about it the day before our wedding. Jaclyn went above and beyond to order some soft pretzels and pick up snacks when the catering options for the after party fell through. When our bridal suite wasn't set up for hair/make-up as needed and the bridal party's florals arrived at the wrong place, a quick call to Jaclyn fixed it. Jaclyn and her team were absolutely great in making sure all of our day-of decor and signage that we brought in was arranged as planned. We also had some pretty severe timing issues during the event itself as our ceremony went 2x the timing planned and we were running quite late. Jaclyn was able to coordinate all of the appropriate parties (security, venue, band, caterers, etc.) and arrange a time extension, as well as keep the evening moving so none of the guests realized we were off schedule and in a time extension. We would highly recommend Jaclyn to other couples in the Philly area!

were outstanding. We are so thankful for every one of your amazing qualities, especially now looking back knowing how important someone like you is to pulling off such a momentous occasion. We both feel like you exceeded our expectations in so many ways and as you know, our expectations were really high! Our day was virtually stress free, we felt confident every step of the way that you had our day completely under control. Most of all, you saw our vision and you helped make every last detail a beautiful unforgettable reality. With gratitude, Ryanne & Claude

legit, as is Two Little Birds! Two little birds is outstanding in every way from beginning to end and we only wished we hired her sooner. Prior to hiring Jaclyn, I was an out of town bride overwhelmed by all of the decisions and possible vendors I couldn’t meet in person. After I reached out to her 10 months from the wedding, I knew she was the one! She listened to my vision and what I had already accomplished and made a customized proposal not only keeping my budget in mind but also my piece of mind. If you’re at all like me you get lost in all of the ideas you saw on Pinterest and things to do. Not the case when working with Jaclyn! Throughout the process her personalized monthly checklists and vendor recommendations kept me focused. She is supreme at recommending vendors within your budget and identifying if vendor add-ons are financially worth it. Reading vendor contracts is never fun and she was excellent at reading through to make sure we were getting what we needed. She also responded to my long winded coffee fueled emails like a breeze. She’s prompt, funny, professional, personal and it feels like you are working with a close friend. As we got closer to the wedding I couldn’t imagine doing it without her. From hearing out my crazy ideas to suggesting small things like kinds of frames to use for signage she had us covered. I will never forget sitting in the venue meeting and my husband texting me “ thank god for Jaclyn” when the discussion turned to number of tables/table sizes and we had no idea. No worries- she knew exactly what we needed! The week of wedding Jaclyn and her team ( shout out Amanda!) were in frequent contact with us and our vendors and assisted in all last minute items. She helped run my rehearsal, day of timeline, figured out day of food for my bridesmaids, packed up my wedding items after the wedding and coordinated everything with ease. She did more than what I listed, but I wouldn’t know as I was stress free that week thanks to her. She is very well respected among vendors and it shows in the final product. There were zero hiccups and we owe it all to her! My family and friends were very impressed by her. Whether you live in the area or are an out of town like me do yourself a favor and hire Two Little Birds. Enjoy a stress free time planning with your spouse with her assistance. If you want your special day to be perfect then work with the best- you deserve it!

pporting us through every step. As out of towners we leaned on her knowledge, connections and recommendations to plan the wedding of our dreams. Jaclyn was helpful in every aspect of our wedding. When we struggled to find a rehearsal dinner location within budget, she put together a list of 5 options below our limit. When we needed transportation options, she found us the perfect choice and then planned all of the timing. Whenever we found ourselves confused our first move was to email Jaclyn. On the day of the wedding there was nothing to worry about because she would take care of it. She brought us peace of mind to truly be in the moment and enjoy the best day of our lives. We are forever grateful for all the help she provided. Our wedding day would not have been the same without her.
