We went with her full planning package, and was so grateful that we did as she was there with us every step of the way. During all of our meetings, Jessica was really good at honing in on the details that we wanted, and knew which items were a priority for us. She helped ease a lot of our worries and concerns, especially since our wedding was a 400+ guest count event. Regardless of our large guest count, our guests' had the best time of their lives and it was one of the most beautiful weddings they've ever been to, per their feedback, which we completely agree!!! Our wedding wouldn't have turned out as beautiful and magical as it did if it weren't for Jessica and her JMK events team. It was one of the happiest days of our lives despite the heavy rain showers anticipated to occur during our outdoor wedding. Not only did she provide a lot of hope, positivity, and words of encouragement, she was able to put together a backup plan in one week's time using the venue's limited capacity indoor facility and repurpose so many of our items that we've rented and purchased. To the very end, we could see how hard she worked to help us combat the rain, and we're truly grateful for that. Jessica was a blessing through our whole wedding journey and the day of. All of the thought, care, time, planning, details...everything she had put forth into our wedding was top tier. Both sets of parents were extremely happy with how everything had turned out, and how smooth it had all gone. It was all thanks to our amazing wedding planner!

In every meeting leading up to the wedding, she was so thoughtful in checking in on us, efficient in everything that needed to get done, and helpful in feeling a lot less stressed after each meeting. We also don't have many married friends, so she really helped us understand and plan the whole process and every little detail. Our wedding day, from getting ready to cleaning up, was a DREAM knowing she was taking care of things behind the scenes so gracefully and I didn't have to worry about anything and everything turned out so beautiful and lovely. We are so grateful for the work you did, Jessica, and making this day such a memorable one for us!

If you're looking for a wedding planner who's professional but easy to work with, look no further…read morethan Justina of JL Events! This review is seriously long overdue as our wedding was way back in October 2022 at Casa Real (my apologies for the delay!) Early on in our engagement, my husband and I were ambivalent on the idea of hiring a wedding planner. We had already chosen several of our main vendors and thought we could save money and handle planning our wedding on our own but we were mistaken.  We were soon overwhelmed with all the details and started to have decision-making fatigue so we decided to look for a wedding planner. After quite a bit of research we chose Justina/JL Events and we are so grateful we did! Her services were definitely worth the investment. We highly recommend Justina for wedding planning and coordination. She is professional but personable, trustworthy, and very easy to work with. She had great communication from the start and all throughout the preparation for our big day; her responsiveness was amazing. During our first meeting, Justina quickly identified our needs and vision and created a detailed timeline for our wedding planning. She helped us narrow down design choices and accompanied us to meetings with vendors. We were impressed by her organization and proactive approach! Having Justina as our planner helped alleviate much of the stress that comes with planning a large wedding (we had about 260 guests.) There were several instances in which we were frustrated dealing with unresponsive vendors but Justina was great at facilitating communication and even helped us find better companies to work with. Justina helped us stay on track during rehearsal day and was an expert problem-solver. She coordinated with our vendors and the staff at Casa Real with ease and was patient with us and our large wedding entourage. On the day of our wedding, Justina and her assistant Dana took such great care of us and we were able to enjoy our wedding celebration! Justina truly demonstrated her expertise with event coordination. We really appreciated her taking so many behind-the-scenes photos and videos, too! She also created our beautiful wedding cake topper and welcome sign. Thank you Justina for helping us have the wedding of our dreams! We are forever incredibly grateful for you!

She is not only detail oriented, responsive, organized, and professional, but she is also thoughtful and personable. She even helped save us money on not going into over-time with our wedding venue! She also saved our wedding timeline (we initially had an early start time for our ceremony because we thought sunset photos were always taken afterwards, but she helped us move things around and coordinated with our photographer to really make our timeline better and more efiicient)! Leading up to our wedding day, she was on multiple video calls with us to make sure we were on track and had everything we needed. She was so good at anticipating our needs and helping us execute every little detail that we wanted for our wedding day. I also knew Justina was good because she helped plan my best friend's wedding, who was my matron of honor at my wedding! A full circle moment haha. Justina was so professional, but working with her also felt like planning my wedding with a friend. She is so kind and sweet and I will truly miss working with her. She even helped to keep me warm when I was standing outside in cold December night weather. We really couldn't have done it without Justina and we are SO glad we picked her to be our wedding coordinator. We couldn't have asked for a better person to help us plan the best day of our lives!

I was married last month, and my partner and I are STILL talking about what an amazing job Erica…read moredid. In all honesty, we only hired an event coordinator because our venue required it. We were foolish and we didn't know what an outrageous task planning a wedding is. We wanted things a little different than a traditional wedding, and Erica executed so seamlessly that we sometimes forget that the bride and groom walking down the aisle together was anything other than the way it's always been done. Everything felt really natural and nothing was "put on". We had to think about nothing during that day. About an hour before the wedding, I had a friend drop cookies off and cookie sleeves (they were the guest favors and had not yet been assembled. I forgot to "assign" that to someone). A few hours later - right in the middle of cocktail hour - I turned to Erica and quietly gasped, "THE COOKIES." She just smiled and let me know that her and her assistant, Esmeralda, found the cookies, sleeved the cookies, and displayed the cookies. God, she's so good. There were more instances than I care to relay on this platform, but just trust, she does what needs doing and requires no oversight. Guests were even commenting on how well coordinated everything was, and a few people asked for her card. The final touches were not to be believed. Beautiful card on our hotel suite nightstand along with a gift, the room that the bridal party got ready in, including groom and best man, (which looked like a bridal bomb had exploded - flower stems, crumpled notes to each other, makeup everywhere, pajamas and shoes, a left-on curling iron) had been organized, rented chargers had been rinsed and placed in our room, even the last 4 sad remaining flip flops from a basket of 50 had been returned to our room. Just in case. Erica snapped a few candid photos of my MOH doing my makeup and my grandmother and I dancing to the last song of the night. Totally unprompted, and totally appreciated. I would happily hire Erica for any future event

I was a very DIY and detailed oriented bride and was under the impression I could take care of everything on our special day. I found out quickly that I wouldn't not be able to take care of all the setup at the venue as well as get ready and I am so thankful I found Parkway Events. Erica took charge and coordinated all the vendors from hair, makeup, catering, DJ, etc. There were a few unexpected things come up before the wedding and Erica helped get them taken care of with our venue and caterer. Erica made our vision come to life at the venue and my husband and I along with all of our guests, thought it was a perfect evening that would not have been such a fun, seamless evening without Erica. I highly Erica and her team at Parkway Events for your next special event!

I got married on 08/23/2025 and started searching for a decorator a year and a half in advance. We…read morehad Zoom calls and in-person meetings with almost every decorator in the Bay Area but none of them truly connected with us. It often felt like we were just another client, rather than a couple planning one of the most important days of our lives. Then I found R&R and met Raman, and everything changed. From our very first conversation, I could tell she genuinely cared. She listened to our vision, offered thoughtful suggestions, and truly made us feel special every step of the way. It was never just about décor it was about making our day magical. Raman's creativity, punctuality, attention to detail, and communication were all outstanding. She brought our vision to life even better than we imagined. On the wedding day, everything was absolutely stunning--we received so many compliments from our guests, and that meant the world to us. If you're looking for someone who doesn't just decorate, but puts heart and soul into your big day, I cannot recommend Raman and her team at R&R enough. We feel so lucky to have found her. Thank you for making our day unforgettable!

Absolutely worth the investment (honestly, very reasonable for full service planning & on-site coordination) and worth building into the budget. Wedding Planning Process: My husband and I booked Tejel within 2 weeks of getting engaged for the full wedding planning & onsite coordination and I think it was the best decision we made. From the first call, Tejel and I clicked & it felt like a huge weight was lifted immediately. To name a few of the many key aspects: we wanted a destination wedding, so Tejel suggested venues that fit our criteria. She then worked with us to find our DJ & priest, coordinating calls, helping negotiate pricing, and reviewing critical details. She reviewed our venue contracts, travel agency contracts, and other vendor contracts so that we didn't miss important items or flags. Tejel created timelines immediately, sending us the to-do lists & spreadsheets that would keep us organized in the months to come. During our scheduled calls, we went over next steps, action items, ideas, and more. Tejel was always handling the emails to the venue and our onsite coordinators, keeping us on copy, so knowing she had visibility + would initiate responses took a HUGE weight from our shoulders. She knew our budget and constraints, but also knew where we'd be flexible and her insight was invaluable! On-site Process: Tejel + her assistant made sure EACH event went off without a hitch. She worked with our on-site coordinators and teams to go through the sites, suggest placements for all items, and bring our vision to life. Our guests have been continuously talking about how punctual, organized, and beautiful each of our events were and that wouldn't have happened without Tejel. She kept EVERYONE on task (which is so hard to do in an Indian wedding, especially with lots of family members), she was great with both sides of our families, she communicated throughout each event with me and my husband, and she made sure the two of us ALWAYS had food for every single event. I heard from so many people that they don't get to try their food/dessert at their events, but we tried everything and that's because Tejel brought us the food & made us sit down to enjoy :) I could continue but I'm sure this review is long enough already - just know that Tejel will work SO hard to make sure that the bride & groom get what they envision while keeping stress at bay and the added bonus is that she's just great to get along with too!! Don't hesitate, just book her :) THANK YOU TEJEL & TEAM!

On the day of the wedding, Tejel and Jaanki worked their magic, allowing my partner and me to be fully present and enjoy the festivities. They stayed calm and collected, ensuring that everything on our timeline ran smoothly. They were also great at adapting when things didn't go exactly as planned--something that inevitably happens, even with the best-laid plans. Their attention to detail was amazing, making sure we had food, drinks, and everything we needed throughout the day. We truly appreciate all their hard work and dedication, especially given how DIY-heavy our wedding was. Their spirit and professionalism helped execute our vision perfectly, and we're so grateful for everything they did!

Their excellent taste, knowledge, work ethic, and patience made the wedding planning experience--and more importantly the wedding events--feel fun and smooth. Our wedding was not easy by any means: the invite list was about 300, there were several events, and we are fairly particular about what we like but have a tough time making decisions. Save the Date handled all the twists and turns with grace and impeccable competence. All the vendors they recommended were reasonably priced and came through perfectly. And the day-of felt effortless for us--Save the Date managed all the logistics without us needing to stress at all. They even dealt perfectly with a last-minute switch from outdoors to indoors when it became clear the temperature at the time of our ceremony was going to be above 100 degrees. I really cannot recommend them highly enough.

I don't like leaving nasty reviews and didn't plan on it, but now I'm feeling absolutely cheated…read moreand I'd hate for someone else to spend thousands with this company. There were a few red flags from the beginning, but we were already kinda locked in with the deposit. I had asked for a floral quote and had a whole intro meeting with Victoria. It took months to respond and she was asking questions we had already answered months prior when we met her. Had to send my mood boards over AGAIN. Seemed unorganized, but we brushed it off because she was very sweet. The day off, my florals did NOT match the inspo at all. They charged 40 bucks per vase, which had one stem of cheap flowers (I'm talking calendula and some filler/foliage for example.) our bouquets were also WILTED the moment they were handed to us. Our tables also just overall looked tacky. I had offered to print all my signage on card stock and Victoria said she had it covered. She ended up printing our menus on regular paper, with no design whatsoever, after assuring us "they're so cute and I can't wait for you to see them!" but never sent them to me to preview lol I also made table number signage that she said she'd print on card stock. These were poorly printed and shrunk down and she didn't use our card holders. She said they didn't work....which of course they wouldn't if you used regular paper. I specifically noted they were meant to hold thick card signage. The food was amazing at our trial and tasted horrible the night of. We got candied brussels that were supposed to be sweet and crisped, and what they served was just steamed, hard, and flavorless. Some appetizers used different ingredients. We were told we had table side service and ppl would help pour wine, but no one helped guests, even when they asked. Our venue even had us confirm that Evntwrks would do table side pouring, and now Victoria is claiming they're not allowed to touch alcohol, despite telling me she had it covered. I was able to brush it all off the day of and had a great time, but the cherry on top for me was when I came to pick up my decor and Victoria claimed my guests took everything. I found that hard to believe, as I didn't even see all the decor I provided on the tables. They were bare. She insisted that they took all centerpieces, and when I asked her to pls check their warehouse again, she found multiple of my boxes. I also took inventory of all my things, and she is now claiming I shorted her on decor so they had to use their own. Once again, I've caught them gas lighting me, trying to act like they did me a favor, when she's in fact lying. I gave close to 50 vases prior to the wedding, and she's now saying I gave 31. After finding my boxes, I counted 28 vases. This doesn't even add up if she's claiming "all my guests took vases home" but now its only three vases taken if I supposedly only gave her 31? Doesn't add up. She also gave me boxes back that were empty. I was furious and asked her where the items went that they didn't even use (such as table card holders I provided). She ended up finding them, but it just goes to show how unorganized they are and the lack of care towards other's belongings. She also claimed my flowers were wilted because we took photos hours before the wedding, which is FALSE. I took photos with my husband only thirty minutes before guests started to arrive. No bridesmaids even had their flowers till right before they walked up. I planned on doing stuff with my floral after and sadly cannot. I was also sent a bill to buy them brand new table linens. She claimed guests lit candles after she had told them not to, and they spilled everywhere, damaging their linens. While waiting for guests to arrive I noticed the tips of my candles were black on some tables, and I had never lit them before. Maybe workers lit them prior and realized they shouldn't so they blew them out? I did admit to seeing some guests light them, maybe two tables, but they put them out immediately when Victoria asked. there was not enough time to even accumulate wax to drip. I also dont understand why they don't have funds or insurance to cover things like this? I'd also be more understanding if pictures were provided for proof. Most vendors have a deposit in case of damages. They did offer to waive the fee after I expressed how terrible everything I was. However, this doesn't even cover all the other services that weren't delivered. Upon reviewing our contract, I've also noticed they taxed service charges/gratuity. Still waiting on a response from them in regards to this.. It's one thing to not have everything turn out as planned, but now I'm catching them in lies, which makes it 10x worst for me.
