We have a wonderful time working with Jennifer and Fern. They were our "day-of" wedding planners…read morefor us but they did... oh, so much more! We started working with them well before the wedding, largely to make sure we were on track with our schedule (catering, entertainment, invites, etc). That went just fine. We also had an added bit of fun (that turned out amazing). My partner and I have been together for a long time and friends didn't know what to get us since we already have a full house. So when we told our friends of our wedding plans (and planned outfits) they decided to get us a band for the wedding. Which is great but now Jennifer and Fern had the grooms + random friends to coordinate with. Our friends worked directly with Bon Events and they ALSO had nothing but good things to say. In fact, Bon helped them secure the band and work out the final details. I feel they went above and beyond and made our wedding an amazing event. I didn't have to think about a thing on our wedding day except to make sure we ate (Bon also had secured food for us at the wedding... since it's hard to eat when you need to say Hello to everyone) and made sure our guests had a lovely time. I cannot recommend them enough!

What can I say about Jennifer & Fern…read more.. Honestly, no words can describe how amazing these 2 women are, they were supposed to just be our "Day of Coordinators" for my wife & I's wedding this past October but throughout the year and a half that we used their services we were in contact with them constantly. Furthermore, they were happy and excited to help us make sure that we were on track and that our wedding would be exactly what we wanted. They never made us feel like "just another client" or even once said "you didn't hire us for this" they were just always there, and always helpful. They were there for us anytime we needed encouragement or had fears about a decision we had made they were right there to back us up and encourage us to go for what we wanted. They also ran our rehearsal like drill instructors and made sure everyone knew their role, down to how fast they are walking the aisle and where to stand on stage. These women are really a lot of fun to talk to and work with but when it comes down to it they are professionals who take their clients needs very seriously. We hired them for the "Day of coordination" and when it came down to that they did an amazing job, our wedding probably had a few hiccups that day, maybe even a disaster or two, but my wife and I didn't see, hear or even suspect anything, more importantly neither did our guests. Jen and Fern had a staff of 3 people working under them for our event and between the 5 of them not only was our venue completely flipped from "Ceremony mode" to "reception hall" within 30 minutes but the entire night went perfectly. They even went as far as to grab food for my wife and I from the caterers so we wouldn't even have to get up from our table. Jen & Fern I hope you read this, Jen & I had our dream wedding, we put a lot of blood, sweat and tears into making sure it happened and I 100% feel like you guys did too. That wedding was the best party of our lives and we owe that to you. Thank you so much for everything you did, we will never forget it.

Getting everything in order before the big day is one part of her work, she gathered vendors months in advance and made sure we were all on the same page. But the day of is critical, there is so much going on behind the scenes and keeping the couple happy and calm PLUS maintaining a friendly and helpful demeanor isn't easy. Kristina does it with ease! She is a pleasure to work with, not just a great planner but also a lovely person. I have had the pleasure of working alongside her at two weddings now, both days were a success from start to finish and I am sure the photos were also better because of how smooth things went. Thank you Kristina, I look forward to teaming up again soon! -Bethany Fritz; Maypole Studios Photography

Kristina is awesome!! She was our wedding planner and we loved her! First she has great vendors…read moreto recommend. She has been in the business for a long time and knows what a wedding entails. From the save the date to saying goodbye to all the guests after it is all over. Before the wedding she is creative, organized, accommodating, on top of everything, gives good advice, tells you how it really works, gives you lots of options to consider and such an educator in the wedding world, and again has great references of vendors. The day of she becomes the personal assistant for whatever you need and makes sure everything runs smoothly by taking care of all issues behind the scene. We loved working with her and she made our outdoor ceremony and tented wedding reception run completely smooth. Not an easy job!

Hi. I'm a wedding vendor. I'm a photographer. I've done a ton of weddings, been in a ton of…read moreweddings, I was, like, I got this, I don't need a wedding planner. I've seen how the sausage is made. All weddings have 4 ingredients: ceremony, food, booze, music. The end. And then my best friend called and said, "you don't need to write, produce, star in, and stage manage your day, please call Sarah." YOU GUYS. Best decision I ever made, second only to my husband. Turns out I didn't even know what I didn't know. Sarah is so, so good at what she does. She managed all my vendors for me so I wasn't getting texts day of my wedding that someone couldn't find parking, she sourced all my decor for me when my florist ended up being double booked with 2 other weddings on the new date (and third time we moved our wedding because, pandemic) with the help of the other person you should hire, Alyssa of Lyssco designs. She offered to have the unpleasant conversations on my behalf, she last minute took on booking and organizing the rapid testing service we decided to do last minute so we didn't become a super-spreader event. (Emily Post says it's real bad form to kill 30% of your wedding guests turns out). She ran the photo call like a boss. My photographer was so grateful (you should hire her too, Noelle Adams - seriously, don't hire me, hire her) At the end of the night, she gathered up and packaged up everything and DELIVERED it to my house. I was like, can I hire you to project manage my life???? So smart, so knowledgeable, so competent, so delightful, so professional, such a good human. The best wedding gift you can give yourself is giving yourself the day off the day of your wedding. Also, Sarah, if you're reading this, please be my best friend, you are beyond awesome.

From the moment we first spoke on the phone, to the final minutes of the big day, Sarah by far…read moreexceeded all of our highest expectations. Sarah's not only extremely personable (she made us feel like we knew each other for years), but she's also everything a planner should be and more! She's super organized, attentive, detail oriented, and has a solution to every problem imaginable. Sarah and her team helped us calm our nerves and ensured that we enjoyed every single moment of our big day without an ounce of stress. Each one of our vendors complimented on how easy to work with Sarah was and how much they enjoyed her. Sarah is an angel and there are no words to describe how amazing she truly is!
