I hired Jalpa as a full-service wedding planner June 2022 for my September 2023 wedding. From the…read morevery beginning, Jalpa was an absolute gem, guiding me through each step of the wedding planning process and transforming my dream of a perfect big fat Indian wedding into a reality. From the initial consultation to the final moments of the big day, Jalpa demonstrated professionalism, creativity, and an unwavering commitment to making our wedding a truly magical experience. Over the course of 14 months, she assisted in booking every vendor, coordinating/communicating seamlessly with the venue and our vendors (decor, catering, DJ, video/photo, etc.), helped pick out small wedding details, and provided invaluable insights and advice. Her ability to listen to my needs and help my vendors understand my vision truly made every decision feel informed and stress-free. One of the aspects I appreciated most about working with Jalpa was her flexibility. Jalpa understood my type-A personality and my desire to be hands-on with planning, she allowed me to communicate directly with vendors and take charge when needed, while still providing the necessary support and expertise. Jalpa maintained open and clear communication throughout the entire planning process. She was responsive to emails, calls, and any questions or concerns we had. This made us feel confident and assured that our wedding was in capable hands. Jalpa's commitment to her clients is unparalleled. When the big weekend arrived, Jalpa, Mitul, and her J2R team were so efficient and ensured that everything ran smoothly and ON TIME, a remarkable feat given our sizable guest count of close to 600. All thanks to Jalpa's impeccable organization and coordination skills, we truly got to enjoy our wedding weekend without worrying about logistics. She also effortlessly handled the intricacies of our Hindu wedding and vidhi ceremony. Her ability to communicate with my parents and the priest ensured that every detail and the complex steps of the ceremony were flawlessly executed. Hiring Jalpa was single-handedly the BEST decision I made when planning my wedding. Every single one of our guests complimented the wedding (which is very rare for an Indian wedding). They all complimented how beautiful, organized, and fun the wedding was. They also all loved the food. Even three months later, our guests are still talking about our wedding weekend. This honestly would have not been possible without Jalpa. I highly recommend her for all your wedding planning and coordination needs. You will not regret hiring her. Jalpa cares deeply about her clients and goes above and beyond to create unforgettable experiences. I wholeheartedly recommend Jalpa to anyone looking for a dedicated and talented wedding planner. Thank you Jalpa, for making our wedding day the best day of our lives!

Was horribly disorganized and basically sabotaged the entire night, thankfully people at the venue were there to clean up here mess. She walked around lost basically all night. She was rude. She didn't remember information we told her 2 minutes ago. Kept on reasking the same questions. SHE was supposed to be in charge and make sure everything ran smoothly and if anything she was the source of every problem. STAY AWAY

WOW! We had a totally wonderful experience with Jody!…read more Jody shot my daughter's bat mitzvah - She took 1,000s of beautiful quality images. My husband, an art director, was very impressed with Jody's skill and professionalism and the exceptional quality of her work. Jody did a pre-shoot photo session on the beach where we had so many amazing photos it was hard to decide which photos to use for the montage and sign in boards. At the temple, Jody was able to make the photo session a relaxing and productive event. In a short period of time, we were able to get beautiful family photos and special photos of our daughter on the bima. At our party, we had to do our family photos very quickly and Jody found the perfect place to take the photos. In addition, Jody brought another photographer to the party so that there was one photographer to shoot photos of the kids and anther photographer to shoot the adults. We received our photos in the time frame Jody estimated. The photos were beautifully finished and well organized. We easily made a beautiful book and copies for the grandparents. The whole process was great.

They are experts in their field, and know how to structure an entire evening of entertainment that is so much more than "just music". From the MC to the dancers and of course to the amazing music (shout out to DJ Redline, who is nothing short of amazing) -- they bring an entire team of professionals singularly focused on ensuring the guests are engaged and entertained from start to finish.

From our first meeting, they made her feel comfortable and confident, treating us like we were their most important client. The evening itself was beyond what we imagined. They read the room perfectly, keeping everyone--from young kids to our oldest family members--dancing all night. What stood out most was how Brandon and his team carry themselves--their genuine care, their command of the room, and their ability to make everyone feel special. They didn't just provide entertainment; they created magic. The state-of-the-art technology, the flawless execution, and their presence on the mic kept the energy going from start to finish without a single lull. Thank you, Brandon and Famos!, for making Olivia's bat mitzvah one of the most memorable evenings of our lives. We're forever grateful!

Thanks so much for making our perfect day a dream come true!!

Hiring Caitlin from Blush and Luxe for Day-of Coordination was by far the best money we spent for…read moreour wedding! I loved that she was able to recommend great vendors, some of which I actually booked (our florist, bakery and hair/makeup). She was also a very diligent and organized liaison, contacting all of our vendors on our behalf to make sure that everything was being executed as planned. Caitlin was always one step ahead of the game, and she even ironed out head-spinning logistics that I didn't even know we needed to plan for! From her extensive experience, she was able to foresee all potential hiccups and already knew how to prepare for EVERYTHING! I must have e-mailed her a million times the day before our wedding, freaking out about what would happen if it rains...and a million other "problems" that had only just occurred to me. Of course, Caitlin already had a contingency plan for the rain and a solution/plan for all my other concerns. Caitlin also helped set-up all our miscellaneous decor and table items that my husband and I brought from home (i.e. not provided by the florist or any other vendor). For example, our wed-libs, card box, escort card display, well-wishing wands, and our unity candle...and more. That was such a HUGE help because I'd otherwise have to rely on the venue coordinator (who was not as knowledgeable of the plan) or assign a family member or member of the bridal party, and I wanted to make sure that my friends and family didn't have to stress about those things. In the end, neither I or my friends/family had to think or stress about any details on the wedding day. we all just sat back and enjoyed the ride!
