Jennifer and her crew were simply amazing from beginning to end!
We kept reminding ourselves how much crazier life would be if we had taken this entire thing on ourselves! There’s no way we would have been able to do it, quite literally!
The care and attention to detail was spot on, they made Jessica feel like an absolute QUEEN, and I couldn’t ask for anything more!
We’re so thankful to have been blessed with such an amazing human being and company! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Omg words can’t begin to explain our love and gratitude for Jennifer at wed in fred. I mean this from the bottom of my heart, we would not have had this wedding without her. She made everything so easy, she responded super fast always, so beyond patient, accommodating and just overall the best. She made our day perfect and one we will never forget. I would get married 10 more times if it meant Jennifer put together the wedding.
I will always recommend Jennifer to anyone I can, and honestly am sad my wedding came to end.

Just book them. You will not regret it. Jennifer and her team took away all of the stress you hear about having to book and coordinate all of the little details associated with planning weddings. I didn’t have to lift a finger! We showed up to wedding day confident in their services and her team did not disappoint. Everything went so seamlessly, and I was able to enjoy the day without worry. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Jennifer, our wedding planner and owner of Wed in Fred, deserves every bit of this five-star praise! She truly went above and beyond to turn our wedding dreams into reality. From the very start, she made the entire process seamless, ensuring every detail was perfect. We couldn't have imagined a more magical day, and it's all thanks to her meticulous attention to detail and professionalism. Throughout the journey, she kept the lines of communication open and transparent, making us feel completely at ease. With her by our side, planning a wedding in just 5.5 months felt like a breeze. She was always there, advocating for us and ensuring our needs were met with other vendors. Now that it's all over, we can't help but feel a bit sad. She truly made our wedding experience unforgettable! 🤍🤍🤍
If you’re looking for a stress-free (or as close to stress-free as you can get) wedding planning experience, choose Wed in Fred!

We cannot recommend Wed in Fed more in helping you plan your wedding. From the every 1st inquiry to our wedding day, we felt Jennifer understood exactly what we were looking for and what was important to us.
We had a few last minute changes (less than 1 week notice) and she was able to make them happen.
On the wedding day, she was there to keep us organized and on time. Our family kept mentioning how great of the wedding planner she was!!
Even after the wedding, she made sure our wine tasting went well.
Definitely look into Wed in Fed for a elopement or small wedding. I had a few special requests from a first dance, wine tasting, bringing our own arch. After discussing with her, she was able to make them all happen for us. In the end we had the exact small wedding/elopement we wanted!!

Jennifer Harper orchestrated a very special and beautiful wedding for our son and his new wife! All the details were professionally overseen and were the reflection of exactly what the Bride and Groom and their families wanted to see happen.
Jennifer Harper's knowledge and experience provided the wedding of my son and daughter inlaws dreams. She ensured everything went off without any problems and orchestrated a wonderful experience for all attendees.
I highly recommend her as a Wedding planner.
Thank you, Jennifer!

As a venue owner (Hillside at Red Rock, Fredericksburg) Jennifer and her team and vendors are always great to work with. She has such attention to detail, great time management day-of, communication throughout the process, and fantastic results! She steers her clients to the venue that's great for THEM and the many weddings she's managed at our property have been a delight.

Jennifer with Joyful Elopements was wonderful! She was attentive to our questions, took the time to plan out our day and made sure all of the little details were paid attention too. The package we selected included everything we needed, the venue location was wonderful, the on site coordinator (Madeline) was wonderful, the flowers, hair, make up and wedding cake were all perfect. Jennifer made our elopement planning easy and took a lot of stress off our plate so we could focus on our special day. We would recommend Jennifer and Joyful elopements to anyone looking for the perfect elopement!

Working with Jennifer was absolutely amazing! I planned a destination wedding 6 hours from home and had zero idea on where to start- and then I found Jennifer! She is so very kind, helpful, and organized! I worked with her for 8 months leading up to wedding day! She always answered my questions in a timely manner, offered suggestions and she was open to all of my ideas. On wedding day, she literally made all of my visions come true. She took what I thought I wanted and made it even better than I could have asked for. She kept our day on track and running smoothly. I could not recommend Jennifer with Wed in Fred anymore to anyone. If you're on the fence on working with a wedding coordinator- DO IT. You will NOT regret it - especially if you work with Jennifer!

I could not recommend Jennifer's services more. As a bride who dreaded the wedding planning process Jennifer not only made it easy for me, but enjoyable as well. We did 99% of the planning via email and the day turned out to be perfect and more special than I could ever imagine. Jennifer was able to customize a package unique to our needs and it was worth every penny.

Jennifer was an amazing wedding planner! We had to change our wedding location and date before deciding to use Jennifer and honestly she made everything very seamless. Wedding planning can be very stressful and the fact that we had to make some major changes to the wedding made it even crazier. When we found the Epic wedding package through her website it was a no brainer. It had pretty much everything we needed and we were even able to customize it to make it work perfectly for us. We thought it was absolutely genius because she ultimately takes care of all the contracts for you which takes most of the stress away. She worked with us to find ways to cut costs without taking away from our vision. She was so easy to work with, very responsive and just so down to earth! You can tell she really cares about her clients. On the days leading up to and on our wedding day she brought me so much calm which is exactly what I needed because I tend to stress myself out. We are beyond thankful we found this amazing woman and would recommend her a million times!! Thanks so much Jennifer!!!

The best decision you could ever make as a bride is trusting Jennifer Harper with Joyful Elopements to plan your wedding. She is the absolute best!! I never had to worry about a single thing, she stayed on top of everything and made the whole process so stress free. All I had to do was show up! Lol My wedding day was absolutely perfect thanks to Jennifer and her team. Our day of coordination Madeline was so kind and helpful, our Photographer Madeline Frost was amazing as was our Videographer Khalil & Co. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Deciding to get married was the best decision we made and hiring Jennifer as our wedding planner was the second best decision!! She went above and beyond for us. Anytime we had a question or worry- she already had it covered. Even our guests and other vendors have been telling us how incredible Jennifer was. She had everything running smoothly, chatted with guests and even brought out some last call drinks to my Aunts! As issues came up/ things had to change the week before for any number of reasons, Jennifer always had a plan or solution for us. I have not doubt that our wedding was a huge success because of Jennifer.

Jennifer Harper with Joyful Elopements is a breath of fresh air in the wedding industry! She is professional, polite, an excellent communicator, and able to wear whatever hat is needed throughout your wedding experience.

She takes the stress out of getting married and let's you focus on the real reason behind a wedding, your marriage. So thankful that we found her.

So happy to have found Joyful Elopements (elope in Fredericksburg)! My husband and I anticipated on wedding this year, but had a lot of things going on that we basically put the wedding planning on the back burner. It was the end of July when we started discussing if we were still gonna marry 10/5 as we planned. We were so close to putting it off another year 2022 as we felt like the timing was so close and we had done NOTHING for the wedding, until I came across Jennifer’s website! I will tell you her packages are amazing! Everything you need without the hassle of doing your research, calling vendors and have i mentioned stress free! You basically have to just show up with your dress! Jennifer takes care of the rest! We were able to wed 10/5/21 as we had planned and I am so happy we did not wait until 2022! Jennifer was wonderful to work with, very thorough, responds quickly and I had a ton of questions which she answered and never once seemed frustrated or anything, very patient as well! I can not thank you enough Jennifer for making our day special! Highly recommend!

I really can not thank Jennifer enough for the amazing day she created for Joe and I. It was truly a special day. Being a duel Military couple with demanding jobs I knew when we got engaged that planning a wedding would be challenging and wasn't something either of us was looking forward too. She took all the hard work and headache out of wedding planning, plus she didn't just give us a day Jennifer gave us a getaway. The B&Bs were fantastic, the venue was beautiful and the wine tour was a blast. Everything from the Flowers to the cake was just perfect! Joe and I really appreciate all the hard work Jennifer put into making our time in Fredericksburg, Texas memorable. Jennifer and her assistant were so sweet, and she was so patient and quick with answering all my emails. Also Megan's (the photographer she connected us with) photos came out amazing! She was a great suggestion and returned the photos to us quicker than I expected. I could go on and on about how grateful and happy I am that I found Jennifer to help us with our wedding. She is fantastic at what she does and Jennifer made our dream wedding more magical than I ever could have imagined! Again thank you so much we are forever grateful!
