I don't even know where to begin! Events by Jess (EBJ) is the absolute best event planner I could have ever asked for. I've known Jess for a long time--back when I used to make cakes for her events--so I already knew how talented, organized, and creative she was. When my original dream wedding couldn't happen because of COVID in 2020, I told Jess to hold onto my deposit because one day, we'd still make it happen. And she did just that! Fast forward to our 5th year vow renewal week in Sicily, and it was everything I could've ever dreamed of and more. Jess made our vow renewal week in Sicily not just possible--but truly magical. From start to finish, she handled every detail with grace, professionalism, and heart. She went above and beyond to bring our vision to life, coordinating seamlessly across time zones, different vendors, and language barriers ‍ to ensure everything ran perfectly and flawlessly. Her calm energy, eye for detail, and genuine passion for what she does made all the difference. Thanks to Jess, our entire week felt effortless and unforgettable. Every guest was impressed, every moment was beautiful, and every memory will be cherished forever. If you're looking for someone who will treat your event as if it were her own, look no further than Events by Jess! She's simply the best! read more

EBJ Events - Party & Event Planning Near Me

We had Marijose and her team, Yesenia and Logan help us with month of coordination for our wedding. Marijose was amazing, organized and coordinated with all the vendors and venue, had great recommendations when we didn't know what to do. Day of, she and her team were amazing. Super organized, professional. Directed us, the guests, vendors to where we needed to be each minute through the day. Yesenia, Marijose, and Logan all played a big role in giving us a seamless wedding. We couldn't have done it without them. Looking back, they were essential and we would highly recommend them to anyone planning their wedding. We want to thank them from the very bottom of our hearts! read more

I wish I could give more stars, I cannot say enough good things about Jess and her EBJ team! You have to hire them for your wedding or event to make it is smashing success with as little stress as possible. The day of girls, Janete, T'arra, Marijose, and Mia put myself, my now husband, mom, and the entire wedding party at ease by anticipating needs, addressing little issues like me spilling a little on my dress, missing the grooms shoes, bow tying, a surprise short rainfall with calm professionalism and optimistic attitudes that ensured we had a great time no matter what popped up. I know that I would not have enjoyed my own wedding if they were not there supporting and I did not have Jess helping me this year. From the very beginning, Jess organized me so that I prioritized the right tasks at then right time. I work full time and was in the middle of moving across the country so Jess adjusted the plans/timelines and is also so great at clearly communicating when decisions need to be made and why. EBJ provides you with vetted, experienced and amazing vendors to chose for your event. Every single vendor provided great quality services with great attitudes that made everyone more happy and celebrated. EBJ is key to putting together a great vendor team which saves time, stress and ensures quality. My husband was blown away by the event and said it surpassed all of his expectations. He was crying from happiness at all of the special moments that the team created. All of my wedding guests were so complementary of the event and details that EBJ helped plan and executed. My expectations were exceeded as well and I was a part of the planning. You have to hire this team if you want an amazing event that you can enjoy yourself! read more

Hiring this wedding planning team was truly the best decision I ever made for my wedding! I chose the year-long planning package, and having monthly calls to go over every detail made the entire process stress-free and enjoyable. When the big day finally arrived, I was a little nervous at first -- but the moment I saw how many incredible people were on my team, I was blown away! Anything I needed that day was handled immediately. I wasn't even allowed to carry my own luggage! They kept everything running smoothly, made sure the entire wedding team stayed on schedule, and even managed to diffuse the family drama I knew was bound to happen. The best part was that on the day of the wedding, I didn't have to worry about a single thing. They only told me what I needed to know so I could truly enjoy my day. They even followed a detailed photo list to ensure every picture I wanted was taken -- not one was missed! My family couldn't stop talking about how amazing the team was and how smoothly everything ran. Huge thanks to Leslie, Sara, Eliza, and Claudia for going above and beyond. I couldn't have asked for a better, more professional, or more caring group to make my dream wedding come true! read more

Budget for the planner! Next to buying our house, our wedding was the most expensive day of my life. Thanks to Jessyca and her team we were able to enjoy the day. We knew every vendor we hired was reliable and worked well with the rest of the team. Situations happened, because no day is perfect, but they were promptly resolved with no effort on my part. There was a delay in the kitchen. She re-ordered the timeline. She spoke with the DJ and the festivities continued. No one knew that there was an issue. Closer to the wedding date, it was determined that I needed additional day of assistance. An extra fee that was well worth the money. MariJose was assigned to stay with me throughout the day. She was amazing. I felt truly pampered. If I needed water, she took care of it. If I needed to go to the bathroom in my giant gown, she was in the stall with me! All my questions or requests, she was on top of it. She laughed with me at all the silly situations, calmed me down when my bridesmaid went MIA, googled how to change my name on my social media because I was so excited to be married! She was the most reliable bridesmaid ever!! She will forever be a beautiful memory of the happiest day of my life. I know it's an extra expense on an already expensive day but it is the best decision I made. The only thing worse than having no planner is having a bad planner. I was lucky enough to know previous clients of EBJ. I knew the day would run smoothly and I could just sit back and enjoy being a bride. I wish the same for every bride and I hope this review helps you make the right decision for you. read more

From start to finish, our experience with Marite and her team, Leslie, T'arra, Brenisha and Rudy, was nothing short of exceptional! They took my daughter's vision and turned it into the most beautiful and seamless wedding day imaginable. Every detail was meticulously planned, and their creativity and attention to detail exceeded all our expectations. We didn't have to worry about a single thing - they handled everything from the timeline to vendor coordination, and even last-minute adjustments, with such grace and professionalism. The day was flawless, and we were able to truly enjoy every moment without stress or worry. We're so grateful for Marite and her team for making my daughter's dream wedding a reality. Highly recommend to any couple looking for an experienced, passionate, and trustworthy planner to bring their wedding vision to life! Thank you for making this day so perfect! read more

Hands down exceptional experience to have EBJ as part of our wedding day. We just got married last weekend and all I can say is without them, this beautiful wedding would have never happened. Jess was very flexible with our schedule throughout the planning process (I work insane hours often very late into the night) and accommodated our meetings throughout the year accordingly. She was able to keep us on task throughout all this to make sure we had everything we needed and gave us incredible vendor recommendations that we are so so happy with from DJ to florals to photographers and makeup. They were all absolutely exceptional. Then comes game day- wedding day- and let me tell you I would have gone insane without them. Her team- we had Leslie, Tarra, Shurroq, and Marijose- were like a well oiled party machine. Marijose single handed kept me sane. She was excellent. They were on top of everything, kept the party going, kept us on task, and were even straight up body guards keeping guests away when my husband and I were trying to sneak something to eat in between socializing lol. They set up of the florals, Photo Booth, and cigar bar. Everything was just absolutely gorgeous and I can't say enough good things about this team. We loved EBJ and would recommend them to anyone who needs help planning a special event. We know if we ever have another major event that we will absolutely want them on board. Thanks guys!!! read more

Choosing Jess/EBJ as our wedding planner was one of the best decisions we made for our special day. From our very first meeting, it was clear that she truly cared about making our wedding everything we dreamed of and more. It's still unbelievable that I can say our wedding happened without a hitch! She brought an unparalleled level of professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail to every aspect of the planning. With all of her knowledge and relationships with vendors, she was able to be super organized and efficient with each part of the planning process especially with offering alternatives to fit our style and budget. On the day of the wedding, Jess ensured everything ran smoothly, allowing us to fully enjoy each moment without a single worry. Her planning assistants Tarra and Kyrra were also super helpful, patient and so encouraging in all the nervous times on the day. They were always one step ahead in every need I had that day. We are so grateful for Jess's dedication and hard work. We can't recommend her and her team enough to anyone looking for a wedding planner who is passionate, talented, and a true joy to work with. read more

Leslie, Janete and Erin were absolutely amazing in helping me execute the wedding of my dreams. From the communication, planning, logistics, and delivery of the big day everything turned out absolutely perfect. Planning a destination wedding was not easy but having EBJ was critical and made all of the difference. Everything was timed perfectly, planned out to the minute, and detailed exceptionally. Every question I ever had was answered and then some. We always had doubts whether or not we needed professional planning and coordination for our wedding, but it was absolutely worth every penny. Never hesitate to hire them, they are absolute lifesavers and we had the weekend of our dreams. It couldn't have gone more perfectly if we tried, and our guests will be talking about it for years to come!! read more

I know how the wedding process can be very hard and I used reviews to make my decision on who to hire a lot so I promised that after my wedding was done I would do a review for all the vendors I used and be as honest as possible. EBJ Events is the first vendor I'm running to write a review for. I worked with Leslie and OMG was she amazing!!!!! I worked with a coordinator before I hired her and she scheduled a meeting with me twice and never showed up twice. Because of my previous experience I was extremely worried about working with an event coordinator but Leslie was incredible. She just got things done and made sure I didn't have to worry about a thing. If you're not sure you should hire a coordinator, this is the best money you will spend for your wedding. She arrived at the hotel where I was getting ready and made sure we were on time. She dealt with my family in the best way possible and never once came to me for any issues, but just solved everything and made sure I was being taken care of the whole time. The day of T'arra and Olivia helped the event as well and they were just as awesome! My event wouldn't have been the same without EBJ Events. There was so much behind the scenes that Leslie did for me that I wasn't even aware needed to be done like contacting all my vendors prior to the event and coordinating EVERYTHING. What an amazing team. My venue was very strict about a lot of things and Leslie was incredible dealing with everything. read more

Planning a wedding when you have a full-time job from 7am-5pm each day is nearly impossible! I knew right away that I wanted wedding planning or wedding coordination. After finding the venue and getting some vendor recommendations, I immediately contacted several companies and felt very good about EBJ Events. After speaking with Leslie, one of their Lead Planners on the phone during a consultation, we were able to determine the best plan for me based on where we were in our wedding planning, budget and timing. I went with the Coordination Package which was perfect! As the venue was the most difficult part, which we found prior, Leslie hopped in at the right time to help with the details and there are SO MANY of them. Her tracker and ability to keep my fiancé and I on task was so needed. Starting at the 6-week mark, we were having calls once a week where she filled out the details spreadsheet with me making it a lot less overwhelming. A few weeks before, she started connecting with all my vendors and passing on everything we discussed. During our venue walkthrough with the venue coordinator, Leslie added crucial points to think about and ensured our wants and needs were being addressed. The day of the wedding should have been a lot more stressful but thanks to Leslie and her assistant Ashley, I was as easy breezy as could be with no care in the world. EVERYTHING we discussed was taken care of from the DJ (which I had a lot of requests of where I wanted a song to stop and start) to the flowers, to the officiant, to the reception room, to the whole bridal party, the day could not have been more perfect! Leslie kept everyone on time and the party moving and my fiancé and I were able to focus on each other, our family and friends. The best day of my life and EBJ was spectacular! I would highly recommend them for any event and would definitely use them again in the future. Thank you so much Leslie and team for managing our dream wedding!! read more

We recently had our wedding on November 3rd at Jupiter Beach Resort and the EBJ team was nothing short of incredible. Leslie, Mia and Jessyca made our special day one we will remember forever. The whole team is extremely detail oriented, friendly, patience and clearly passionate about what they do. We had a large wedding party and they made sure our timeline went smoothly day of and that the bride and groom were taken care of. We cannot thank Leslie, Mia and Jessyca enough for everything they did for us! By working with the EBJ team, please know you won't have to worry about a single detail on your special day, they have it covered. We are so grateful for everything and would recommend this incredible team to anyone looking to host an event! read more

Jessica and her girls did an incredible job with our wedding weekend. They made our vision into reality, and it was better than we ever imagined. It was super easy to work with them, and they stayed on top of everything that needed to be done. My wedding day was at Vizcaya Museum & Gardens & the venue is a logistical nightmare but Jess managed all vendors without any issues. Highly recommend them for all your event planning needs! Worth every penny. read more

EBJ Events - Party & Event Planning Near Me

Excellent Wedding Day! So, this wedding was to be fully planned by us, without assistance of a day of coordinator or planner. We made it pretty darn far into the process. Our wedding date was March 28, 2019. In fact, we made the whole way until March 17, 2019 when the stress started to overwhelm us a little bit. Events by Jess, and specifically our coordinator Lucy joined in less than two weeks before our wedding date and successfully got on board with everything that was already planned and provided us with excellent service on our wedding day. I would highly recommend the services of this company. There are a lot of things you don't think of until the last minute. What if the chairs do not arrive on time? What if one of the vendors is late? Who will make sure our guests sit down before the ceremony? Who is going to let the DJ know we are coming in, so they can introduce us at the reception? All I have to say, is I was thankful for Lucy and believe she went above and beyond to make this day successful. And it was all done just days before our event. Thank You! read more

If I could give 10 Stars I would! When I was initially told by my daughter that we needed a wedding planner my first thought was WHY when we have all the people at the hotel... Once the wedding was over, I said that hiring EBJ was the BEST move we made! Marite and her crew were nothing short of incredible! The work she and her ladies did the day of the wedding was extremely impressive! So much so that several of the guest asked me who they were and why were they all so attentive! Marite had many great ideas and suggestions and when the wheels starting turning the morning of the wedding there was no doubt that we hired the right person for the job! She was in complete control all the way through the end of the night! They really did a fantastic job, keeping everything under control and relieved a tremendous amount of stress from us all! We HIGHLY recommend EBJ Events!!! read more

I cannot recommend Marite and the EBJ Team enough. Marite and her team (Leslie, Rudy, T'arra, & Brenisha) turned all of my dreams into a reality. I hired Marite as a month of planner and she DELIVERED. After getting her caught up on all of the planning I had done throughout the past year, Marite took the reigns in bringing my vision to life. She organized all of the vendors, created the most detailed timeline, and made sure the rehearsal dinner, welcome party, and wedding day ran smoothly. Leslie and Marite were my hype women the entire day, calming my nerves and making sure I had everything I needed so that I could focus on marrying the love of my life. Rudy helped my parents with everything that day so they could truly live in the moment. Marite has become like family and I could not be more thankful I trusted her with the most important day of my life. If you are looking for a planner - hire EBJ and request Marite!!! read more

My husband and I had an incredible experience working with team EBJ on our Arabic Indian fusion wedding. We started working with Jess right after we signed our venue contract, about 9 months before our December 2023 wedding. Jess went to work right away, helping us create a budget and priority list. As a couple planning from out of state, her guidance in choosing vendors was invaluable. We did not spend a single minute searching for vendors, reaching out for pricing, or anything of the likes- Jess clearly outlined potential vendors options, including pricing, availability, and brief comments. We were very happy with each wedding vendor, from photo/video to henna artist. Jess's monthly to-do lists kept us on track with planning, we never once felt stressed about the wedding planning process. As our date approached, Jess helped us create a minute by minute timeline for all 3 of our wedding events (Sangeet/Welcome Party, Ceremony/Lunch, Cocktail Hour/Reception). She also coordinated with all of our vendors to ensure logistics were managed. Jess's experience planning large fusion weddings was a deciding factor in our decision to work with her, and she did not disappoint.  During the weekend of our wedding festivities, Jess along with Leslie, Tarra, Shurroq and Marijose went above and beyond in coordinating all events. Jess managed the timeline to a t, an impressive feat for a multi-faith, multicultural wedding with 350+ guests. We actually could not believe that we were ahead of schedule after our Hindu-Christian wedding ceremony, with 2 priests and countless rituals, and photos with both extended families. Both my husband and I had a member of the team by our side at all times. It was an incredible surprise when I realized that the gals had been taking content on my phone throughout the weekend. This is just one of the many examples of team EBJ going above and beyond to make our weekend special. Jess and the team are friendly and warm, and did everything in their power to make our weekend stress-free and extra special. We always had a plate of food and favorite drink waiting for us, T touched up my makeup more than once, Leslie was our bodyguard as we snuck around the venue to take professional photos between events. When we wanted to make small changes to the timeline on the day of the event (to allow for more time for pictures with our close friends), they knew it was important to us and helped make it happen. When we arrived back to our hotel suite after the reception, team EBJ had cleaned our space, hung our wedding ceremony outfits from the morning, and left a special surprise for us. We can't say enough good things about working with Team EBJ - from planning to day of - and would absolutely recommend them to anyone planning a wedding in South Florida. Thank you Team EBJ for everything you did to make our big fat Arabic Indian wedding a success. read more

Absolutely FANTASTIC. Jessyca and her entire team, Tarra, Mari, Gina, Mia, Kat & Priscilla were such a delight to work with and took away every wedding related stress imaginable! From start to finish, everyone was helping more than I could've ever imagined. Thank you to Jessyca and her team again for making my big day a dream come true! Every event of mine will be in the hands of Jessyca and her team now! read more

From the beginning of our planning process, our wedding planner, Jess was incredible! She made us feel heard, gave great suggestions and was always just an email or call away when we had any last minute questions. As a matter of fact, on the day before our wedding, I needed 3 of our signature drink templates printed and she was on it and got it done immediately! Hiring Jess was the BEST decision we ever made. She was on top of everything, and it made the last weeks leading up to my wedding more fun than stressful! She called all the vendors, created an itinerary for the wedding day, ordered pizza for the kiddos, scheduled our COVID test that was necessary for our honeymoon to Maldives, and SO much more. On the day of our wedding, she did a phenomenal job making the venue look absolutely beautiful and captured the exact theme and feel that we were going for. I truly could not have made it through the day without her! Jess and her entire team definitely took care of us and were always two steps ahead of us with whatever we requested. They were prompt, organized, professional, creative and best of all FUN! We were very glad that we had her and her team!! Jess is extremely well connected and well known in the industry and her knowledge made wedding planning so much easier. She was well worth every penny - we honestly would have paid double after it was all said and done. I highly recommend her to anyone and we cannot thank her enough for helping us create our dream wedding! read more

EBJ Events - Wedding - Party & Event Planning Near Me

As I continue to share with you all the businesses that made my wedding weekend so wonderful, it's time to talk about the lady that made the big day run as smoothly as possible... Jessyca! I plan a lot of events for work so didn't feel as daunted by the prospect of finding my own vendors and coming up with a general plan. That being said, I also wanted to be able to relax and enjoy my wedding day, so knew a month of or day of coordinator would be worth the investment. I met with a few different planners, but instantly felt comfortable with Jessyca. In the end, I went with her month of package and it was absolutely perfect. About six weeks out, we had a phone call that instantly put me at ease. I passed over all the contact info for my hired vendors, wedding party, along with other key details. From there, she helped with everything from the venue layout and day of timeline, to following up with all my vendors and making sure everyone was where they needed to be and when! She was readily available for any question I had leading up to the wedding and absolutely indispensable the day of. If a lot of things went wrong, I had no idea, because she handled them with ease. When I was a little stressed out about timing, she calmed me down and made sure that my now husband and I had the best time possible the whole day. I couldn't recommend her more! While you may be able to execute your wedding all alone, the guidance of an expert is truly worth the money. read more

I can't thank Janete and her team enough for all their help pre, during, and post wedding. From my calls in the beginning I knew I was in great hands. Janete is extremely organized, energetic, knowledgeable, and incredibly kind. On the day of my wedding I felt so at ease, Janete and her team made sure everything went PERFECTLY. I had A LOT of little personal details, and everything was executed exactly like I wanted. I felt like I had known Janete for years, and I only booked for month of coordination. It was my best investment. I never felt alone, I felt like everyone in my family could relax and enjoy the moment with me and trust that everything would be perfect. The greatest surprise was Edith, Janete's assistant was taking pictures the entire night and airdropped them to me so I could wake up to all the best moments of the night way before receiving the photographer's sneak peeks. That is something that brought me soooo much joy. Please don't hesitate to book, this was one of the best decisions I made. read more

Janete is a very sweet lady, and I am very impressed she can juggle what she can with EBJ Events while working a full time corporate job Monday-Friday. Janete was very attentive to me and made sure I was completely prepared and content at all times before and during the wedding, which I appreciate. Janete should work on knowing more of the logistics of the wedding, like where the wedding party and all family members were supposed to be after the ceremony. Also, Janete should work on understanding the order of the family portraits. In essence, communication with other vendors and myself could have been more on point. The detailed wedding flow I made for all vendors, especially Janete!, contained all these specific details to help keep everyone organized and the wedding logistics easy to follow. I do appreciate all of Janete's help in making our special day beyond amazing! read more

EBJ Events - Party & Event Planning Near Me

I hired EBJ as my month of wedding planner. From the very first phone call with Jess I knew that I had made the right decision. I remember getting off the phone call and saying to my husband "damn she's on point" LOL. It has been 3 weeks since my wedding and my family STILL talks about how incredible she was. The day of my wedding she made sure I worried about nothing. Jess and her team set up my wedding decor EXACTLY how I wanted it and everything looks so beautiful. I did not have a wedding rehearsal and I am glad that I didn't because it was not necessary. Jess did a great job at lining everyone up and giving them instructions. Any tiny hiccup that occurred she immediately took care of it. She even helped me with my wedding dress in the bathroom. If I needed ANYTHING she was there. My MOH had her newborn with her at the wedding and Jess would help my sister every chance she could. I'm pretty sure at one point the baby started crying and Jess stepped outside with him to not disrupt the wedding. This woman is just absolutely incredible and if you think that you don't "need" a wedding planner think again. There are SO many tiny little things that start to come up as you near your wedding day that you wouldn't even think of. If you want to actually enjoy your wedding day then a planner is what you need and not just any planner but JESS! read more

EBJ Events - Party & Event Planning Near Me

Genuinely the BEST wedding planner ever! Marite thought of every detail, was conscious of our budget, was insanely organized, and all around amazing! Our wedding would not have been possible without her and her team. I am so grateful to the amazing team. Their kindness, humbleness, and attention to detail is otherworldly. A massive thank you to Marite and the EBJ team! I'm so blessed to have had you as part of my wedding. You are a huge reason this special day was magical and unforgettable. Thank you read more

I can't express how grateful I am to have found EBJ and Jess for my wedding planning. Jess and her team were incredible on the day and helped everything go so smoothly. My husband and I started working with her in 2020 to plan for a wedding two years away. I am in in grad school so I did not have a flexible schedule to plan a wedding and Jess really worked with me so I could plan everything in the time that I did have. She was so efficient that we hired all our vendors more than 10 months out from the wedding date. We had our monthly calls over the course of 2 years that really reassured me that everything was doing well. When you are a EBJ bride you get so much access to Jess's amazing wedding events and raffles. I can't even remember how many discounts I won, and I know we saved money because of her connections. Working with Jess really makes you feel special during the whole wedding process. On the day of the wedding Jess and her team took care of everything. I did not have to worry about a single thing on the timeline. I was able to just enjoy the wedding. The team of Taylor, Olivia, T'arra and Liz were incredible and attentive. They made such we had food and water throughout the whole event. Taylor and Olivia came to the hotel where the bridal party was getting ready and made sure all the details made it to the venue and organized everything while Jess was at the venue. We had a last-minute change of plans because of rain and the team worked so hard so everything was switched quickly and was executed beautifully. If you are still looking for an event planner, look no further! I highly recommend EBJ and wouldn't have our day go any other way. read more

Simply amazing! I am on my honeymoon and I just keep going back to our wonderful day. EBJ is 10/10, if I can give them more stars I would. Jess is amazing, she has the drive that it takes to make anything and everything happen. I can tell she also instills that in her team. No matter who I spoke to from her team, they had the same attitude, drive and love for doing what they do. I reached out to Jess a little over a year ago with more questions than you can imagine. She helped me figure out what package works best for me, which tells you a lot about her because it was not the most expensive one, and teamed me up with her assistants who made what my husband and I had in our head come to life. If you're thinking I got time, I can do this, my venue gave me the list of vendors so I don't need a planner, stop. They are more than just that. The amount of time they spend with you to make sure to get every detail right, not forget anything, and keep you calm throughout the entire process (not just the day of) is priceless. I couldn't have imagined to have been so chill..even my best girls were impressed of how relaxed I was! Haha I didn't have to worry about anything the day of. On the day of my wedding, I also got another assistant and she was just as amazing as my planner. She helped steam my dress (even though I had gotten it professionally steamed the day before), ran from room to room to make sure the groomsmen and family were all on time getting ready, went through checklists with me, calmed my nerves and provided reassurance when needed without me even asking. I later found out there were a few hiccups on the day of my wedding and I had absolutely NO IDEA. Please stop reading and give her a call and talk to her, you won't regret it! read more

Best Wedding Decision You'll Make After Saying Yes! We cannot imagine our wedding day so perfect without Events by Jess. To be honest, we were unsure about hiring a wedding planner because we thought, probably just like you are reading this now, that we could handle planning our wedding... It's just food, a DJ, and a venue, right? How hard could it be?? But like you, we looked for reviews and advice from our married friends and in the end decided to hire EBJ to help us plan our big day... BEST DECISION EVER! MONEY 100% WELL SPENT! WE WOULDN'T HAVE DONE IT ANY OTHER WAY OR WITH ANYONE ELSE! EVENT BY JESS BLEW OUR EXPECTATIONS OUT OF THE WATER! Jess, Shalimar, Janete, and Liz truly went above and beyond from day one! First, finding a venue! Who knew there were so many to review, and the contracts, and what's included vs what's not... EBJ made sure we had appts to check out only those venues that fit our style and budget helping us land Hacienda Los Robles which checked off all our boxes! Then came the real planning... Dipp Photography, Dipp Photobooth, Videographers, DJ's, Flowers, Caterers, Cake, Decorations, Wedding Gown, Tux Rentals, Hotels, Shuttle and Car Services, Budgeting, Timelines, Vendor Contracts, and Payments - Its a lot! But EBJ kept everything organized online in the wedding planner software/app that was extremely easy to use. Jess walked us through options for absolutely everything helping us decide what was worth it and what wasn't based on her experience. She paid for herself with the money and time she saved us! It took us a year to plan the perfect wedding, and it all started with hiring Jess. Our wedding day was perfect! One thing we heard from a lot of our married friends was that "You don't really get to enjoy all the details of your wedding day, it's more for your guest than it is for you." But WOW Jess and the team really destroyed that stereotype! We truly felt like we were invited guests to our own wedding thanks to EBJ. From staying on top of whatever we needed throughout the day to getting us our own plate of appetizers and cocktails during the cocktail hour, or making sure we were able to enjoy our dinner by literally guarding our couples table so we could eat in peace without being interrupted by friends and family wanting to take photos with us (sounds silly but it made the world of a difference - we were able to enjoy the food we had catered!!). We can't imagine handling everything the EBJ team did for us and the wedding without feeling stressed throughout the whole thing... Worth every penny. Thank you, Jess, Shalimar, Janete, and Liz! Truly, and from the bottom of our hearts, we loved having you all with us on this journey and process of planning our special day. We are blessed to have enjoyed every aspect of our wedding day and we owe a lot of that to you girls! read more

I'll start off by saying my wedding went better than I could've dreamt with the help of Jess and her amazing team. They made sure to have any personal items on hand on my big day, fixed my dress when necessary, took pictures all night and made sure I received every single one, they even sowed a button that popped off at one point. I felt like I had multiple personal assistants catering to my every need. Absolutely amazing. The planning process was very smooth with Jess. She has a wonderful list of vendors, which were also a dream to work with. We planned my small wedding within 3-4 months. She's bubbly, caring, and professional. I'd recommend her services to anyone. We were working with a small budget and I don't regret at all the investment made into her services. Again, my wedding would not have run as smoothly as it did without her and her team. read more

I cannot imagine our wedding without Jess--could not recommend her more! From the moment I first contacted her, she was warm, quick to respond, and great with communicating her expertise. We had our wedding at my family's home and chose her day of planning package, which actually included consultations and vendor contacting before the big day. In the weeks leading up to the wedding day, she helped us set our timeline and find vendors when we were having trouble. The day before, she came to the house and did an in-person run through of all the vendors who were coming and all the personal objects we needed set out. The day of, she set those objects out, managed our timeline, and even helped trouble shoot the rain that decided to move in for the entire day. She and her assistant, who was with me at the hotel while I got ready and then helped at the house for the wedding, were out there the entire evening getting things done and ensuring that my husband and I could have the best time possible. And that's exactly what we did. Thank you, Jess!!! read more

AMAZING!!! There are no words to express how amazing Jess and her team are!! She is so organized and knowledgeable, the platform they have available is truly the best.. leading up to the wedding this platform and Jess kept me on task and I never felt overwhelmed. She will do frequent calls and guide you through every decision! The day of the wedding was a dream! I was so happy and thankful to have Jess and Shalimar there coordinating everything! They kept me in great spirits and not once did I have to deal with an issue or answer any questions. Jess kept us in time and was able to guide our big, always late and loud Hispanic and Greek families!! Our families loved her and the team.. she made everything so easy and all we did was follow along and enjoy the day!! And she did all this while always making sure I had a drink in hand :) Shalimar was a dream the day of for all my stuff!! She never left my side, she made sure I ate, drank water, had a mimosa, got me gum, fixed my dress and the list is endless!! She was so sweet and helpful I couldn't imagine my big day without her help. She kept me calm, laughing and took some great behind the scenes pictures!! The EBJ team is more than just a wedding planning service.. they become family, they made my day the most perfect, unforgettable day. There are no words to express how thankful my husband, our family and I am for everything this team did.. they are THE BEST!! read more

I just got married Feb 18th, 2023 after it feels like the longest engagement of all time from (2019). We planned and replanned our wedding due to covid, after having such a hard time I gave in and called Jess! Best decision I ever made was hiring EBJ, from that day forward my life got significantly easier. I loved Jess's team, truly one of my favorite parts about planning the wedding was getting to talk to my planner. From the first call I knew I had made the right decision. They were honest with me at every turn making the right recommendations and connections is what really sets these ladies apart from any other planners I had met. With going to events and venues you meet a lot of vendors and planners. Let me tell you the professionalism and services they provide is unparalleled. Time flew when it came down to getting to the wedding day, but everything was totally under control thanks to my EBJ ladies who kept everything on a timeline and gave me tasks in chunks so as to not overwhelm me. I had a lot going on personally finishing my degree and working full time while planning the wedding. The month of the wedding was really the moment my Fiancé (now Husband) knew just what an amazing decision it was to have hired EBJ. Managing all the vendor relationships, due-dates, time frames and payments were just some of the things Marite was handling for me at the time, my fiance looked at me and said " WOW I had no idea there would be so much to do (typical) i'm so glad you have them keeping you on track". Marite was my angel!!! I swear this woman can do it all. She made sure everything went smoothly and that my dream was executed flawlessly. I could cry just thinking about how much stress and anxiety she took away from me. She was there to answer every question, call and text I sent her way. I truly had 1000000 % faith in her and her team taking care of all the details. I'm not exaggerating when I tell you my wedding day was so relaxed and easy. I enjoyed every detail of our special day that we had been planning for so long and that was all thanks to her team. I truly don't know how people get married without planners and I can say without a doubt I would never recommend anyone doing it without EBJ. Special shoutout to Marite, and Leslie for making my wedding day extra special from the beginning of the day down to the last second they exceeded every expectation I had. If I could do it all over again and didn't have the budget to hire them I would rather walk down the aisle naked and spend my dress money on my planners. That's how much I am telling you, you need to hire them. It's been a month since the big day and I still have so many people commenting on just how amazing the wedding was. I was told by so many of my family and friends that it was one of the best weddings they've ever been to and I attribute all of that to these ladies. There will never be enough words to say thank you again. read more

I highly recommend Jess to all brides and grooms seeking Wedding planning. There are so many great things I could say about Jessyca, that they would not fit in this review. I would like to highlight that Jessyca comes through, both in pre-wedding planning and in managing the day of the event. My Husband and I chose to do a destination wedding in Santorini, Greece. This was no small feat for Jessyca, as she had to deal with not only language barriers, but time differences, limited Greek resources, and a "foreign" territory altogether. Nevertheless, Jessyca was able to communicate with vendors and achieve our interests while remaining within our budget. Jessyca kept my Maid of Honor and I informed throughout the whole planning process, and successfully implemented a plan to meet all deadlines with ease and limited stress. The thing I cherished the most about Jessyca was her performance on game day and the few days preceding. She took care of EVERYTHING, so that I would not to to worry. As with all events, hurdles come up at last minute; but she nipped those problems in the bud. My nerves had me very sick the day of, and Jessyca took care of me like family. I am eternally grateful for her skill, kindness, and dedication to our wedding. She is a well-prepared professional, who is attentive to her client's needs and tackles problems head-on with confidence. Although a strong advocate for her clients, Jessyca is also encouraging and reassuring. I give 5 diamonds to Events by Jess! read more

If you're looking for the best event planner in the business, look no further - she is THE ONE. Don't hesitate! I promise you won't regret this decision! Where do I even start?! I started looking for a wedding planner early in 2019 and came across Jess on Instagram. She followed up with me immediately and asked me some questions about my event and needs and the rest is history! She sent me some info, told me to take time to go over it but I was sold after our first call. She has a beautiful passion for what she does and how she handles her business. I was onboard with Jess for almost a year to plan my wedding in December of 2020. She helps keep you on track on a month to month basis with a very organized and user -friendly planning system and planned calls with her. She is very clear on making sure you know she is available to you with ANYTHING you need. She has been doing this for quite some time so she is able to recommend only the best vendors for your event. And best of all, she is very honest when you ask her for her opinion in regards to any details/decisions you need help making. As it got closer to the day of my event, she planned our calls about every two weeks and made sure to check on me and once again, ensure I knew she was there for me for anything that I needed. With wedding planning, people mention all the stress that comes with it, which I did feel beforehand for unseen reasons that were not within my control or Jess's (and even then, she made the calls to make sure things were taken care of accordingly). But, more importantly, when my wedding day came, I felt relaxed, excited, joyous, and a little nervous(naturally, lol). Jess and her team made themselves available to me from sunrise to the end of my wedding day. Her and her team are AMAZING!!! Jess, Dayana, Amanda, and Shali were there on my wedding day and were my lifesavers. Dayana stuck by my side all night to make sure I was taken care of - Thank you Dayana! And Jess and her team were hard at work behind the scenes making all the magic happen making my dreams become reality. I have not a clue how Jess makes it happen, but she does her thing and does it very well. There is not one thing I would've changed about my day other than never wanting it to end! Jess made sure my husband and I both ate, had drinks brought to us, and that we were satisfied with every aspect of that day. When I had a minute to look around, I was in awe to see how beautiful everything turned out and how her team really focused on every detail. Thank you so much, I am so grateful to have had you play such an important role for my wedding. And to anyone still reading this, what are you waiting for to book with Events by Jess? The clock is ticking people! read more

EBJ Events - My husband, Miguel, Jessyca, & I at our wedding at Secret Gardens Miami - What a perfect day! - Party & Event Planning Near Me

(Re: Jessyca/ Events by Jess) WOW! WOW! WOW! If my WIFE (*insert huge, jaw-hurting smile*) and I could click a "6 out of 5 Stars" we would! Where do we begin?? Jessyca was such a blessing! She gave us an unbelievable experience as we delved into the vast (and, in many ways, overwhelming) world of wedding planning...but, all of that quickly subsided as we began to put our trust in her. She was detailed, confident and most of all...FUN! Jessyca's ability to create genuine rapport was apparent. She listened, intently, as we shared our story and was able to help direct us towards vendors, ideas and suggestions that fulfilled all of our needs and desires. Not to mention that Jessyca was extremely connected and loved within the wedding vendor community! It became increasingly clear that my wife and I had signed up with the UNICORN of wedding planners. We are still in awe of her ability to maneuver thru all of the details, vendors, communication, etc. Jessyca's follow up was appropriate, enthusiastic and gave us so much confidence. We looked forward to seeing/ speaking to Jessyca every time we would reconnect for our calls. I could tell immediately that she was genuinely trying to get us into the best place possible (vs push an agenda onto us). To say that she went above and beyond would not do it justice...We can only say "WOW" to the entire experience! TRUSTWORTHY, RESPECTFUL, GENUINE, EMPAHTETIC and PROFESSIONAL...these are the things we think about when we speak of our experience with Jessyca and Events by Jess. Its clear why she has such a strong reputation for being one of the Best Brands in the Industry! Thanks to Jessyca Perez, we had the "Wedding Of Our Dreams"! I invite anyone who would like to get a personal testimonial to contact me directly...it would be my HONOR to speak on her behalf. Grateful & BEYOND SATISFIED Clients... Jeff & Heidi Gamboa read more

Best decision we ever made! As an avid self-proclaimed event planner myself, I actually thought I would be able to pull off the final details of my daughter's wedding. A few weeks out I began to panic and started researching wedding planners. Everyone spoke the same lingo but Jessyca had a no nonsense approach that really connected with everything we were experiencing. Within hours of contracting her, she had reached out to all the vendors, developed a timeline, and helped us sort through all the final details. The day of the wedding she truly shined, taking care of everything from shoe insoles to babies breath. Everything we could imagine and then some, she had thought of and taken care of. She totally read our family dynamics and integrated herself right in. Thank you thank you thank you Jessyca with a Y! All the best! read more

My now husband and I live in NYC and wanted a destination wedding in South Florida. We interviewed 4 different wedding planners and ended up choosing EBJ. Shalimar at EBJ made our lives so much easier during the entire wedding planning process. We had a very positive experience with her as she is responsive to all our calls and text messages, had great relationships with vendors and listened to our asks and needs. The day of the wedding, I was super relaxed and trusted that everything would flow just as planned and it did! Thanks to Shalimar and her team, they were on top of things and stayed out late with us (2am). I highly recommend hiring Shalimar to help with your planning! read more

We could not have had the amazing wedding we did without the help of Jess and her team. They helped us in every step of the way from picking the venue, selecting and organizing vendors, to the flawless execution of the day. Jess and her team (Shalimar, Liz and Leslie) kept us organized and on time with all of the tasks that go to executing a great wedding. She was available, professional, realistic and an all around pleasure to work with. We couldn't imagine having gone through the wedding process without EBJ! read more

Jess and her crew were guardian angels in disguise at our wedding! Like most people who get married for the first time, we didn't have a lot of experience in what is required to pull a memorable wedding together. So I asked my friend Shon (who recently got engaged and will also using her services for his wedding in South Florida) if he knew any wedding planners. He tells me he has been to a number of weddings where she has helped a number of people with weddings and multiple other party events. I went on to facebook and Instagram to look up her work and was instantly impressed because she has handled multicultural weddings from people all over the world. I'm from South India and my wife is from originally France and wanted to do a mixed type of wedding with our own cultural touch to it. Needless to say it wasn't her first rodeo or south Indian wedding. I later found out my wedding DJ, DJ Pavan has even used her services for his family events. Pros: Wedding website - sets up with an interactive website that keeps close tabs of wedding costs and checklist to mark off things that have been taken care of and things to take care off. Meetings - both often on the phone, texting and in person as needed. Experience - She is married, (sorry guys) so she does have firsthand experience understanding what is required plus extensive experience handling other peoples weddings (multicultural weddings as well) Team - professional and down to earth and assists on the day of weddings. It was like having a couple of other Jessyca's Vendors - introduced us to high quality vendors well within our budget such as photography (Organic Moments), DJ + decorations (DJ Pavan), videographer (Gamut Photography). Multiple more - you can send me a message if you need more info. I have many more good things to say but don't want to make this review too long. Peace of Mind - managing family, vendors, hotel, or anything else that you can think up of. Jess can handle it. Cons: Nothing to do with her but I messed up not using Events by Jess for the Rehearsal. Jess reviews all the docs and things for all the events. I didn't use her for the rehearsal party for the day before just to save a couple of hundred bucks. The food vendor (won't mention names, cuz I ain't no snitch) didn't bring the food for a lunch event. I had to organize decorations, set up the club house and try to fend off a hungry mob. Totally didn't realized how much work was involved with setting up a small party and how I was unprepared to manage it. This was the day before the wedding and I was exhausted but the following day I didn't have to manage anything and thanks to Jess everything flowed smoothly. Well, let me cut this short and say I don't have any regrets using Events by Jess and look forward to have her help us with many more events and friend's events. P. S. - Hey Jess we'll see you at Shon's wedding! read more

Jessyca and her team did a tented wedding for my niece in Southwest Ranches with full planning. I was a bridesmaid and as wedding photographer myself, i can attest to good and bad event vendors. I am usually unimpressed with event coordinators, but she is a major exception!! She is meticulous and hard working! I can't express how thankful we are she was the planner!! She made the day a huge success and handled unexpected bumps in the road with calm grace. The only advice I have is we wish we would have followed her advice at 100%. The few vendors we insisted on were a flop and we are positive the challenges we encountered for our own stubbornness would not have happened had we used her vendor recommendations. She was an extreme professional and worth every cent. Best decision made was hiring her for this wedding. read more

EBJ Events - Backyard wedding for 250 people. Amazing! - Party & Event Planning Near Me

Where do I begin? Well, I hired Jessyca in June of 2020 right after I got engaged. I wanted to pretend that Covid wasn't happening and have something amazing to look forward to in the future: my wedding! I had interviewed a handful of planners, but Jessyca really stood out to me. Not only is she extremely organized, professional, and responsive, she was warm and personable and I could feel a connection with her immediately. We began planning for a January 2022 wedding. Jessyca's process shows brides exactly every detail they should focus on and when, based on how many months out you are. This checklist was so helpful in guiding in what I should be focusing on in the timeline of 1.5 years. Everything was going great and so many friends were looking forward to a "normal" wedding event post-covid.....Flash forward to December 2021 when omicron and panic start surging. In the 2 weeks leading up to the wedding, Jessyca helped me almost entirely revise my wedding plan to accommodate for Covid safety and changing numbers. Down the final day, Jessyca was on calls, emails, and working around the clock to make sure every concern, request, and question my eclectic family had was answered. On the days leading up to it, I was so panicked that my dream wedding wasn't going to be possible. But Jessyca's team worked their literal magic and made my vision come alive. I wish I could truly put in words what it felt like to walk into our ceremony and reception venue and quite literally see a dream come true. I was able to actually enjoy my day because I was surrounded by an amazing team. Jessyca and Jeanette were incredibly attentive to me and kept checking in to see what I needed. At one point after hours of shooting bridal looks, Jeanette brought me a sandwich. And another point when I looked tired, Jess ordered me a red bull. She's consoled me through very challenging obstacles and was always ( I mean always) responsive to emails or texts. I mean, you really can't get better customer service than this. At the end of the night, I was so happy and relieved and grateful for EBJ. After all, your wedding day should be enjoyed, not focused on the little stressful details and with EBJ, you will be in good hands. I am actually sad to say goodbye because we built such a great bond read more
