If you’re lucky enough to be here reading this right now, then congratulations - you’ve won the wedding lottery.
Jenell is a UNICORN. She is 1 of 1, and if you’re reading this rev...iew, I’m here to tell you that Jenell will do the best job, by far, of all the coordinators you’re shopping right now. Hear me out and I’ll explain. It will be the best ‘yes’ you’ve said since your engagement.
For context, I’m a DJ who has worked with hundreds of wedding coordinators in the last decade. Most of them were pretty good! But your standard-fare ‘good’ coordinator is not even in the same league as Jenell. They’re hardly even playing the same game. And the difference boils down to this:
Jenell cares about each and every wedding as much as her couples do.
You’d hope that would be the norm for wedding vendors, right? Unfortunately, that couldn’t be farther from the truth. Most wedding vendors (especially coordinators with as much experience as Jenell has) see each couple as a number, and each wedding like a shift at their 9-5. Brides and grooms get nickeled and dimed for any extra cost, they have a limit on pre-wedding consultations, and they see their wedding coordinator gossiping with the photographers before heading out early from the reception. And for the privilege of such mundane customer service, you get to pay 2-4k more than Jenell will charge you.
I have seen so many couples spend so much money and get so little effort from their coordinators. Shouldn’t grooms and brides be a bit more special on their wedding day?
Jenell sure thinks so, and she works harder to make special weddings than anyone else. She bends over backwards week-in and week-out to turn dream weddings into real memories.
Instead of viewing her clients as numbers, Jenell cares for each and every couple with the warmth and willingness of a longtime friend. It’s no surprise that many brides and grooms stay in contact with her for years after their wedding date.
I’ve seen her pay out-of-pocket and take losses for extraneous client expenses and spend days personally constructing photo-op pieces (specifically, a vine wall - it was sick) just to make a bride’s wishes come true. She’ll spend hours on the phone with clients every other day for a year straight.
DO YOU KNOW HOW RARE THAT IS IN THE WEDDING INDUSTRY? Noooooobody else supports couples on their wedding day like that. It makes a huge, huge difference when your realize that your coordinator is your ally, and your friend.
… And that’s all the more impressive because Jenell basically offers the experience, competence, and talent of a $10,000+ coordinator. She’s absolutely on the ball during the planning process and day-of. She doesn’t leave early (in fact, she might be the last one there, making sure everything for your rentals is perfectly ready to go). She routinely handcrafts welcome signs and other fabulous accent pieces to flare up venue areas, her table designs are carefully customized reflections of her clients’ personalities and stories, and her timelines run smooth as butter, all the time.
If you made it this far, I’ll end with this: there is no other deal you’re going to find if you’re getting married in the NorCal area. Jenell is the one who cares about your day like you do, and she’ll do everything under the sun to bring your vision to life. So do yourself a favor, save a couple grand, and make the decision that will immortalize your wedding day as it ought to be: the best day of your life.
