Dylan S. Sent on 02/26/2024Exceptional, and most importantly, fun.
In January of 2024, in the charming neighborhood of Ballard, Washington, at the Cathedral, Jennifer Hoffman-Kim orchestrated the wedding of our dreams. From the moment we met Jennifer, we knew she was the one to bring our vision to life. Her ability to listen, understand, and ensure we felt secure was unparalleled. Jennifer's impeccable communication made us feel included and assured that every detail was being handled with care.
Planning a wedding comes with its set of challenges, particularly when blending families with diverse personalities. Jennifer excelled in navigating these waters, ensuring all voices were heard while keeping our wishes at the forefront. Her knack for problem-solving and maintaining harmony was nothing short of miraculous.
What truly set Jennifer apart was her creative spirit. She not only infused her creativity into our wedding but also inspired us to explore our own, making the process uniquely personal and enjoyable. Jennifer took the reins on vendor coordination, transforming what could have been a tedious task into an effortless and fun part of our journey. She set up meetings, managed logistics, and allowed us to focus on the joy of planning our wedding.
Despite facing her own challenges, possibly feeling under the weather, Jennifer's professionalism never wavered. She orchestrated our day with such finesse that everything unfolded seamlessly, ensuring even a private moment for us to enjoy our dinner - a thoughtful touch that exemplified her dedication.
Jennifer transformed the daunting task of wedding planning into an absolute pleasure. Her service was invaluable, surpassing the importance of any other wedding expense. Jennifer Hoffman-Kim isn't just a wedding planner; she's a dream maker, and easily the best investment we made in our wedding. If you're planning your big day, Jennifer should be your first call. Her brilliance, creativity, and ability to make the entire process a delightful adventure are what make her truly outstanding. Thank you, Jennifer, for making our wedding not just an event, but a beautiful, unforgettable experience. -

Hoffwell Living is the Best!!!!
Working with Jenn and the Hoffwell Living team was the best decision we made to begin our wedding planning! Jenn goes above and beyond in so many ways, especially her responsiveness - I don't know how she does it with so many wonderful clients at any given time!
I have to be honest that I was a little bit concerned about getting married in Arizona with Jenn being based in Seattle but I was proven so wrong. Jenn had many connections in the Phoenix and Scottsdale area, and so did her recommended florists Delinger & Radovich - we were blown away at the many options they had for vendors and decor to make our big day extra special.
I always say that there is no replacement for time and experience when working with someone, and it is clear Jenn has the experience and network to make weddings great wherever her clients take her! Another unique trait Jenn brings to the table is her ability to get to know her clients personally. I feel like Jenn worked to understand us and how we envisioned our wedding before anything else. She took our conversations and translated them into a beautiful reality on our wedding day with tons of creativity. She has a natural eye for flow and design which made everything about our day smooth.
Jenn is also a very hands on planner - she rolls up her sleeves and does what needs to get done whatever the task. I think I caught her rolling tables out with the furniture rentals guy, cutting flowers with the florists, unloading dishware with the caterer, and sweeping with the groundskeeper at our venue. She covers all the bases with a smile and positive attitude.
I would recommend Jenn in a heartbeat for any event planning needs you have, she is a true gem! -

Cannot recommend enough!
I CANNOT say enough good things about working with Jennifer. Our photographer was already on board and he recommended Jennifer as one of the best planners he had ever worked with. She made my very long wedding day at Kiana Lodge an absolutely perfect day. She was nothing but professional and helpful and had everything under control. There were several things that came up that were out of our control that she handled perfectly with grace and a proposed solution. Her calm demeanor was exactly what I needed on my day. I work as an interior designer, am very detail oriented, and kind of a control freak, so naturally I needed a month-of planner to help all of my planning and vision come together on our wedding weekend and it all went so well. I really cannot recommend Jennifer enough. Seriously, just talk with her once and you'll know what I mean. She helped make my wedding dreams come true! -

Karisma Sent on 04/03/2024Best Planner EVER
Jennifer is quite possibly the best wedding planner in the greater Seattle area. Whatever expectations I had for my planner, she exceeded those a billion times over. She was so on top of the to do list and keeping everyone/everything organized. All my events ran on time and she was attentive to all details. She became one of my closest friends and confidants through this whole process, and has such a great demeanor that made the entire process enjoyable. She has great repertoire with my parents, my husbands parents, and all the vendors involved in the process. I received so many compliments during the events about Jennifer, who handled a multi-event Indian wedding with grace. I never want to go through the process of planning a wedding again, but if I had to, I would 10000000% hire Jennifer again. We (my husband and I) love you!!! -

Amy H. Sent on 11/14/2023A really awesome person who is also the best wedding planner
Jennifer is the absolute best person to have by your side during wedding planning! My husband and I picked her based on her kind and lovey personality. We heard she goes above and beyond for clients and... this turned out to be absolutely true! Jennifer is smart, organized, extremely timely, and clearly wants her clients to feel special and cared-for at all times. Some vendors we picked out ourselves, and Jennifer was excellent at working with them (even with some curveballs they threw our way). Other vendors we hired based on Jennifer's recommendation and all of those worked out amazingly. She also helped facilitate my mom providing certain aspects of planning help. Thank you Jennifer for being the brains behind our beautiful wedding that turned out as perfectly as we could have ever imagined. You are a dream of a human! -

Best of the very best!
Jen --- oh Jen -- the absolute BEST!! I found Jen via Instagram, as she had done another wedding at my venue last summer and was tagged in photos. I still remember our first phone call - she was so calming, professional, and I knew that she understood what we needed for the venue (it has some unique quirks). We instantly bonded and I knew she was our gal. We initially hired her for florals only, but ended up adding on her planning/coordination services for the month of which was the best decision we could have ever made. One of the takeaways from our first conversation that I loved about Jen that was different, especially from other florists, was that she took the time to understand what we had in mind and then almost worked backwards with our budget -- rather than asking what we want and then quoting us an arbitrary number. It was the most comprehensive and genuine conversation I'd had with any florist, which is one of the many reasons I knew she'd be a great hire. Our flowers and design turned out PERFECT and I feel like I gave minimal direction - she just knew. When we added on planning services, she was quick to jump on the details and engage our vendors, ensuring our timeline was started and circulated among vendors well in advance. Jen takes ample time to get to know her couples, their vision and style. She takes the time to meet IRL - even driving a couple hours to come see us the week before the wedding to go over final details - this really helped get my fiance excited and fully dialed into what was happening and when. She helped us execute the most perfect day and every detail was not only accounted for but managed to perfection. While floral, design and planning are her strong suits, her overall demeanor and heart of gold is what everyone needs in a planner/florist/wedding guru. Her empathy in this business is truly unmatched - her passion is so evident in her work and she is willing to go above and beyond to provide for her clients. We continue to receive so many compliments on our wedding and all credit should go to Jen. She executed the most beautiful, well-managed event I've ever been a part of. I am grateful we found her and will hold her close as a friend moving forward. We would recommend her 10/10 and look forward to watching her work continue to thrive from the sidelines. If you're considering hiring a planner, look no further - not only is she extremely talented but her heart and soul are poured into everything she touches! -

Best decision we made for our wedding!
Jennifer was everything you could ask for in a wedding planner and more! Extremely personable, understands what you're looking for, and comes with a slew of vendor recommendations that can really make the event! Jenn helped us find our musician, florist, and many more vendors that MADE the event. I am not a visionary when it comes to details and I gave Jenn a very generic list and she delivered. Jennifer was there for us from day one and we still keep in touch today! She toured us around multiple venues, facilitated calls and emails to and from vendors, and was the main point of contact day of and leading up to the wedding. We did not have to worry about a THING thanks to Jenn's incredible planning! She was there for me, my husband, and our mothers when we had questions or concerns! My husband, who was skeptical of hiring a wedding planner at all, now recommends to anyone who will listen that a wedding planner is the best investment anyone can make, all because of Jennifer!! HIRE HER!! -

Jenn was the BEST! From the first call, she immediately saw the vision we had for our big day. She understood where we wanted to go big and where we wanted to save $. She was so resourceful and knows so many connections in the biz and it helped us get started when we had no idea what to do. I am a self-described control-freak but I had no doubt that I could relinquish my urges to let Jenn drive the vision. She also does floral which helped a lot!! Any question or concern I had leading up to the big day, she was able to quickly put at ease. Day-of, it was just a total dream and she more than delivered. All of our guests raved about the aesthetics and perfect flow of our wedding day. Look no further if you're trying to find a coordinator, she is IT! -

Michelle C. Sent on 07/21/2021Can do coordinator
Jennifer was a great day of coordinator. We threw a lot at her on the second hottest day of the year. Even with the challenges of the day (our venue cutting our time) and lots of moving parts she did it all! We met multiple times to discuss plans, she was always available for a chat and some advice and really did everything she could to accommodate anything we needed. She also wore many hats! Did my flowers and they turned out beautiful! Loved that she got my design aesthetic and filled in for me as well. She made it all come together! I would not hesitate to hire her for your next event! I would do so many things differently planning for my wedding next time but not her! She was the best thing. -

Amanda G. Sent on 12/17/2021Best person ever
I don’t even know where to start. This woman is unlike anyone I have ever met in my entire life. There are truly not enough words to describe how incredible Jenn is as a wedding coordinator, person, and friend.
Jenn came into our lives when she planned my sister’s wedding around 10 years ago in Scottsdale, Arizona. When it became time for our wedding, she was living in a different state but we knew we had to have her. Our original wedding was planned for April 4, 2020 in California and was cancelled two weeks before, right at the start of the pandemic. Within those two weeks, Jennifer pulled together the most INCREDIBLE intimate wedding for us in Sedona, Arizona. She did all of this from out of state and made sure everything ran smoothly, even though she was not able to physically be there on our wedding day as we were limited to just a few guests.
Fast forward to just under two years later, when we finally had the wedding of our dreams in December 2021. We decided to change venues in California and had to somehow merge our original wedding plans/ceremony with our new venue and ideas. Jenn followed through on every promise, finished every detail, and made sure our wedding was perfect in every way. She totally takes away the stress of planning and is the ultimate negotiator. Jenn went above and beyond for us without thinking twice and puts her clients needs in front of her own. If I ever plan another big event again, I will ONLY use Jennifer as our coordinator. I have a very type A personality and usually live by the saying “if you want it done right, do it yourself.” Jennifer is the only person I can FULLY trust to know that things will be done the way I want them, and even better than I could ever imagine.
Not only is she a creative genius, but her composure makes her perfect for the role. You will never know when she is stressed or overwhelmed. She is always cool, calm, and collected. She performs well under pressure, does not get discouraged with a change in plans, and is willing to adapt to any situation. She put out fires for us (literally), without us having any idea. She can balance all personalities, whether it is the mother of the bride, father of the groom, or the couple themselves. She is far superior than others in her field and you will be kicking yourself if you do not hire her to take care of your events.
Jenn, from the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU!
