We can't say enough good things about Jamie and Jordan -- they were absolutely amazing and such a…read morehuge part of what made our wedding day perfect. From the beginning of the planning process to the final moments of the big day, they went above and beyond in every way. They provided super helpful planning folders and documents that kept everything organized and stress-free. Their system made the entire process feel seamless, and the regular meetings ensured we were always on the same page and nothing slipped through the cracks. On the wedding day itself, Jamie and Jordan handled every detail with calm professionalism and genuine care. Thanks to them, we were able to fully enjoy every moment without worrying about a thing. They were always one step ahead and made everything flow beautifully. If you're looking for coordinators who are not only incredibly organized but also kind, thoughtful, and committed to making your day everything you dreamed of -- Jamie and Jordan are the team to have by your side.

So, it all at began about 10 months out from our wedding date during the "meet and eat" with our…read morewedding caterer, Diane Wilkinson. Diane insisted that we retain the "Day-Of" Coordination services of Jordan Brushia from J Marie Events. My (then) fiance and I weren't interested in using a wedding planner since event planning is my job, but a "Day-of" Coordinator sounded like a great idea. Also, Diane basically told us that we WILL get Jordan because she's the BEST, and we MUST have her, it's not an option. You don't say no to Diane Wilkinson....So that night I called J Marie Events and left a message for Jordan, (I hadn't put two and two together yet that the "J" in "J Marie" was for "Jordan") and she called me back the following day and we decided to meet at The Rind to talk about our plans. (She chose The Rind and it's one of our favorite places so we knew then that this was probably to be good...) Our meeting was sort of an "audition" for us - chemistry is really important to Jordan because she wanted to be really sure that she was going to be right for us and vice versa - So, long story short, it was a match made in Heaven. We signed the contract, paid the very modest deposit, and went on our merry way counting down the months and checking off every box we needed to check from then until our wedding. Jordan was available throughout this time to help us as things came up. Our event did require some coordination between the caterer, rentals, the band, the venue etc so she did that, and we had questions here and there about things like etiquette, seating, reception scheduling, scripting for the band/emcee etc. We emailed and texted and had a few dinner meetings and a brunch or two to get all of our bases covered. Then before we knew it, it was the week of our wedding and guess what we were doing? We were relaxing! My fiance and I weren't fighting or flipping out about anything, we weren't stressed about logistics, we weren't scrambling to get any last minute stuff done, and we really weren't worrying about anything on OUR end. It was awesome! We worked our butts off to make our wedding amazing but there is no way we could have done it without Jordan's help along the way. And that wasn't even her primary duty - she was our Day-Of-Coordinator. She went so far above and beyond for us and we are so grateful. As for the Day-Of, well, I'm not sure there's much to say about it because it was literally PERFECT. As a party planner for a politician I've never really had the ability to relax and enjoy a party, nor did I ever want to, really. I throw parties and I run them and that's how I like it. On my wedding day I was worried I'd slip into my party planner mind frame and try to run things or worry about logistics etc. That absolutely never happened - I enjoyed every single second of my wedding. WE (My husband and I) enjoyed every second of the day and it was because of Jordan. I can't even tell you what she did that day because I was too busy enjoying myself and being the Bride and having the BEST DAY EVER. Seriously, Jordan was our angel and she made our day actually BE the best day ever - to us, that's not just a quote used on wedding decor and bridesmaid gifts anymore. Best Day Ever is 100% a real thing and it can be for anyone! But, you have to get Jordan first! We LOVE you Jordan. YOU and your services ARE PRICELESS. Logan and I won't be getting married again, but we do love to throw a good party so I'm sure we'll find some excuse to work with you again. People, get Jordan. Have the best day ever, for real :-)

Monique was fantastic and incredibly helpful during our wedding planning. We wanted a simple,…read morenon-religious ceremony and Monique was just the officiant we were looking for. She was available for phone conversations and was very responsive via email. She was able to provide a very helpful packet of ceremony ideas, including sample vows and readings that made it easy to add our own personal touches. It really helped us plan a ceremony that was uniquely "us." If you're looking for a compassionate but not necessarily religious ceremony, definitely talk to Monique. She's a pro.

Can I just say that I'm in love with Monique! I am so in love with the work she did for my wedding,…read moreit's a shame that we left on our honeymoon the next day and I didn't get to enjoy the flowers longer. I am not a picky customer, but I realized that that made me a difficult customer. Because when Monique would ask what I liked I would reply with, "I like daisies and wildflowers, I dunno do whatever you think would look nice" haha Monique worked with me though and through pinterest and only one face to face meeting she pulled off exactly what was in my mind. The best part were all the small surprises on the wedding day. A small brooch on my bouquet, the engraved initials on the Mothers wrist cuff corsages, and small touches like milk glass vases on the head table. I would highly recommend Monique to anyone! Her style is one of a kind and she is a pleasure to work with!
