Up North Events

d my wildest imagination and make the entire day and unforgettable fairytale. She was always so communicative, answered questions quickly and was able to find the answers to any and all questions. Her ability to have the day run as smoothly as possible while working through problems as they come was amazing. I was never once worried about something going wrong with Jenna and her team by my side. She made the whole process so fun and I will always cherish the memories I made planning my wedding with her. She truly is the best there is!

experience that we will never forget. We could not have planned this wedding without her help. If you are looking for an amazing wedding / party planner in the Northern Michigan area look no further then Jenna and her team.

elegance, enchanted-forest romance, and royal-court drama… and they delivered it with flawless precision and heart!!!!! Jenna and her team handled every single detail of my four-day wedding weekend, not just the ceremony and reception. She curated the entire experience, including: • A beautiful Saturday family picnic at Royal Farms complete with apple-picking and corn mazes. (because why shouldn’t my guests feel like extras in a wholesome Hallmark movie?) • Thoughtfully designed welcome bags for all our guests • A warm, intimate dinner at The Weathervane • A wedding-morning brunch that made our guests feel celebrated • And every vendor, contact, and creative partner we needed — she knew exactly who to call and trusted exactly the right people And then… the wedding day. My ceremony and reception at Castle Farms were nothing short of enchanting. A horse-drawn carriage delivered me to the aisle, my reception space took everyone’s breath away, and the florals were so exquisite they felt like they were grown straight out of a storybook. She didn’t just design my wedding — she designed the world that existed in my imagination. Now, let’s talk about Jenna. This woman is calm in the storms I personally created, LOL! I had a few meltdowns (don’t judge me), and she handled each one with empathy, grace, and the kind of efficiency that made me wonder if she has superpowers. She listened to every thought in my head and turned them into reality without ever making me feel extra… even when I absolutely was! I booked the full-service package, and she delivered a wedding that matched the vision in my mind — which, frankly, was not a small task. Would I recommend her? Absolutely. Unequivocally. Without a single hesitation. If you want a planner who can bring your dreams to life, keep your sanity intact, and laugh with you through the chaos, Up North Events is the only answer.

ortless. Jenna took the time to understand our vision and elevated it to more than I imagined. All of the details big and small were absolutely perfect. We received so many compliments the day of our wedding with how professional the team was and the communication throughout the day to make sure it went without a glitch. If you’re looking for someone who is organized, thoughtful, creative, and genuinely invested in making your wedding unforgettable, Up North Events is the one. We can’t recommend them highly enough!

ed. We couldn't recommend them enough!

was smooth. From the pre-wedding conversations to making our wedding run smoothly to checking up on us after the wedding Up North Events was amazing every step of the way.

e is so kind and without her help the wedding wouldn’t have been the same. I highly recommend Jenna and her team!!

zing team made sure everything was done to perfection. From contacting vendors in advance, to helping with flower delivery and photo frames set-up, not a single item was overlooked. The team is communicative, kind, professional, and incredibly good at their job. I would recommend Up North Events to everyone over and over.

t we keep coming back to is how thankful we are that we had you! It was such a help to have you to bounce questions off of in the year of planning, have your support in the week/days leading up, and most especially on the day of our wedding. I knew that we were in great hands! Thank you for everything you and the team did to make the ceremony and reception so beautiful and to make sure everything ran so smoothly (when working with "Skornia-time", that is quite a feat!). Not only were you and your team so organized and professional, but you really "got" us and matched our vibe completely. Lastly - I'm sure that every wedding has its hiccups, but I hope very few have an ambulance part way through. I want to thank you especially for all you did to make sure that the wedding part was taken care of so that my family could fully focus on the important part - family.

ent in her ability to make sure everything was taken care of. Thank you, Jenna!!

she is truly the best there is. So caring. So attentive. So precise. It was an honor having her by my side through the entire planning process! Thank you Jenna!!!!!

not been so smooth had it not been for Up North Events. THANK YOU!!

ing presence which is good energy to have when it comes to a wedding! Her and her team went above and beyond to step in and resolve issues on the wedding day itself. My now husband and I both felt like we had nothing to worry about and be fully present to attend and enjoy our wedding! Best money we spent by far.

he did an amazing job with the heavy lifting and having some of the harder conversations with our vendors we didn't have time for. She was also fantastic in coordinating all of the day of details and making sure things stayed on track. Do not look for anyone else, the team at Up North Events is your go to. Your one stop shop. Your all stars and heroes. I would recommend them one million times out of ten. You are in amazing hands and will be well taken care of by this team.

ails for the entire day and it was all perfect!

nning season when our event grew in size! Jenna untangled every detail that was in place, making sure that our vendors were organized and taken care of which was very important to us. The week that her services kicked in was the most encouraging time because I felt so much more supported. Our ceremony rehearsal was a fun experience, Jenna and her team organized that portion of our wedding day to every detail and our family and friends commented on how well organized our ceremony rehearsal was.It is worth mentioning that Jenna is so beautifully patient which is such a helpful characteristic during such a stressful time! I felt confident in handing all of the details off to Up North Events and we had a wonderful, memorable wedding.

. I had several other vendors tell me she was really a pleasure to work with as well. Our wedding day honestly wouldn’t have been able to happen the way it did without Shelby.

whole day. I was able to rent some of her wedding items, which was amazing because I was flying to my wedding, and we emailed and spoke on the phone about my wedding details. On the wedding weekend, she ran our rehearsal, finalized details with all of my vendors, and made sure everything was perfect and running on time on the wedding day. I would recommend Jenna as a planner or coordinator to anyone - she was warm, organized, friendly, and was able to keep everything moving at the wedding when I was greeting guests/dancing, etc. If you are on the fence about having a planner/coordinator, do it! Jenna did so many things that I don't even know who would have done these things...she put the cake plate out for our cake cutting, had our marriage license ready to sign with a pen, moved our guests to cocktail hour, signaled for the music to start when I walked down the aisle, and I am sure about a million other things that I didn't even notice. I cannot thank her enough.

nd no worries experience. Our ceremony and reception locations were both well taken care of. The day went smoothly. All the things we wondered about, how would we get them done, were simply taken care of. Thank you Jenna!

. We were stressed about switching our plans so close to the wedding date, especially to an area where we knew very little about the local vendors. From our initial call, it was clear Jenna was the woman for the job. She was able to fit her services to our needs and budget and found several vendors that were still available on short notice AND within our budget. She responded quickly to our questions, provided updates during her search, and gave detailed overviews on the vendors to help us choose our best fit. We would have been lost without Jenna's help. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

professional communicator, who blended in with our family members and other vendors with grace and ease. She has a gentle style with a keen focus on detail. What was most helpful to us was her ability "on the fly" to contact all the vendors the night before the wedding to move up our ceremony and wedding dinner by an hour, and it all came off perfectly.

en helped us plan the details of our ceremony. She is so knowledgable about the area and was a huge help. Thank you Jenna we really couldn't have done it without you!

I originally did not plan on having any one. I was under the impression that I could plan my wedding myself and family/friends would be there the day of to help out. However, on your wedding day and days leading up everything is complete chaos and having someone there who’s only job is to help you with whatever detail needs attending to is a complete must. There’s absolutely no way my wedding would have run smoothly without her help. She was extremely organized, had all my details written down, and was there from start to finish. I had an outdoor ceremony and it stormed just as we were about to walk down the isle. Only 45 minutes later the rain stopped and Jenna had every chair dried and guests back in there sheets and I still had my dream wedding. I couldn’t recommend her enough.

ls, leadership and ability to keep everything and everyone on track was outstanding! She was there to bounce ideas off when I was feeling stuck and even went above and beyond and helped donate all my florals to the local retirement community near by! I didn't have to worry about a thing the entire day! Hire her!

details!

thout whom, our dream of an up north waterfront wedding likely would have never happened. Our ceremony and reception at Sommerset Pointe Yacht Club was incredibly beautiful and intimate, and Jenna helped us make it all happen. If you are looking for somebody who will help make the impossible possible, than I highly recommend Jenna at Up North Events!

pond and always kept us in the loop as to what was going on. The day of the wedding she was everywhere, constantly making sure everything was exactly how we wanted it and taking care of any request we could possibly come up with. I would highly recommend her to make your special day relaxing and worry free!
