Rumi was our lead planner and she went above and beyond to help us! Shirali and I got married on 7/13/24 and Rumi was able to help navigate us through stressful situations and was able to communicate effectively with other vendors. Her amazing organization skills and attention to detail impressed us right away and made us feel more relaxed and comfortable for our big weekend. When mentioning that we had Rumi as our lead planner to other vendors we were working with, they all immediately said she was the best and were so relieved because they know any event she works for will be executed to perfection. She was professional with everyone and was very flexible if we had changes to make. My dad even gave her a shoutout in his reception speech haha. We highly recommend working with the J2R team for your big wedding weekend, it is well worth the money! Thank you again to J2R!! -

Best wedding planner ever!!!
Three words for anyone reading this: book J2R events now! Rumi was our lead wedding planner for our destination wedding in Cabo in December 2023. When we first met rumi at a friends wedding, my partner and I hadnt’t even gotten engaged yet but we knew right at that moment that we needed her as our wedding planner. She was an absolute joy to work with, meticulous and efficient in her work, and endlessly committed to making our wedding week a success.
Our first meeting with Rumi was about 15 months before our wedding. Rumi was so warm, welcoming and kind. She was honest and laid out exactly what we needed to know in regards to timelines for planning, budget and cost, vendor selection, etc. She spent time learning about our dream vision, our likes/dislikes, the things that were non-negotiably important to us and our families. We could see immediately that she was going to put her heart and soul into all that she was going to do. More importantly, it was immediately evident to us that she LOVES what she does and truly enjoys the process of helping couples achieve their special day.
From there on, Rumi immediately got to work with helping us select our vendors (which was a huge relief). She did thorough research, offered us the best budget friendly options and asked questions to the vendors that we wouldn’t have otherwise thought to ask but was ultimately important to know. Even though she and her team handle multiple weddings at a time, it felt like she was only there for us. She kept us on track in terms of timeline and we felt ahead of the game the entire time which was a GIANT relief. Never once did we feel behind or rushed in our planning process. The last month leading up to the wedding, she met with us weekly over zoom to put all the final details together, planned meetings with all our vendors to meet together, and even talked to each of our families separately and then together to iron out all the timelines of wedding week.
Before we knew it, wedding week was upon us. rumi flew in the same day we did and immediately got to work meeting with all the vendors in person, finalizing decor, coordinating with our on site resort team, and helping prepare welcome bags, doing final walk throughs etc. We didn’t have to worry about a single thing. As is expected in an indian wedding, there were of course last minute changes requested by our family members and family stress and anxiety but Rumi triaged everything and handled it so well. It was also here that we met the remainder of the J2R Team: Tarak Shah and Jalpa Patel. We had just met but felt like we had known them for years. They were so enthusiastic and looked after us so well the entire week. Together the entire J2R team was a cohesive and seamless unit, extremely efficient and communicated with each other flawlessly.
Rumi was patient with our families, did walk throughs with them the night before the events were starting to allow them to ask any questions, showed them utmost respect, incorporated their last minute suggestions/desires and most importantly, did this all without letting the stress of it reach the bride and groom. She made sure the older family members had Indian food to eat at the resort, she ensured that food was sent to both the bride and groom as we were getting ready, made all of our guests feel so comfortable and most importantly for an indian wedding, ensured that EVERYTHING ran on time. We were amazed at how she did this, never once missing a beat and always with a smile, completely calm under pressure. On wedding day itself, Rumi, Tarak and Jalpa’s communication was meticulous and our entire wedding was a success because of them.
We could go on forever about how amazing Rumi is and all the details that she handled so perfectly but if you really want to know for yourself, hire her as your wedding planner. It was the first and best decision we made during our planning process. We have and will continue to refer her to our family and friends for their future events. Through it all, she became a friend and confidant and we can’t wait to see her again and catch up about life!
Thank you Rumi and all of J2R for bringing our dream wedding to life.

Punit M. Sent on 01/08/2024The Best Indian Wedding Planner in Chicagoland
Jalpa is an amazing wedding planner! She was with us the whole way and reassured us throughout the whole process. She is very organized and very thoughtful and her team on the wedding day were amazing. She is very on top of everything and communicates with all vendors very well. Our entire wedding weekend ran so smoothly and me and my wife were tension free because her amazing coordination and planning. She also has great understanding of different Indian cultures as my wife is South Indian and I am Gujarati, we told her that we wanted our wedding to be a representation of both cultures and she ensured both sides were represented in a respectful and beautiful way. She understood that me and wife both being in medical field had very busy schedules and made sure we stayed on track in terms of wedding planning. I highly recommend Jalpa and J2R Events for anybody looking to hire a wedding planner. I can confirm that she is a wonderful planner and she will make sure that your wedding turns out more amazing than you can imagine. -

Jagravi T. Sent on 09/25/2023Excellent!! Best Decision We Ever Made!
When we began our wedding planning process, we didn't know where to start. J2R was recommended and Rumi became our full-service lead planner. It was by far the best decision we made. She helped us navigate through choosing vendors, communicate our wants and needs, and advise us on decisions. Rumi is very easy to work with and helped keep us sane during the planning process. She's meticulous and very detail-oriented, which is exactly what we needed from a wedding planner. Anytime we had a question, day or late night, she was available to answer them promptly and thoroughly; we are truly appreciative of her responsiveness! During the week of the wedding festivities, Rumi and her team were attentive, focused, and kept everyone in check to ensure the timeline was followed to a tee. She did an excellent job communicating the timeline to us, our parents, and the bridal party. Expectations were clearly laid out and we were all aligned on them. She also did a great job making sure we had time to eat (even bringing up breakfast the morning of the wedding), and that we always had drinks in hand. No detail is too small with this group and that definitely did not go unnoticed. We absolutely could not have done this without Rumi and her team's help, and we have found a friendship with her that extends beyond the wedding context. There should be no hesitation when choosing a wedding planner because Rumi/J2R is the clear and obvious choice. -

Great Wedding Planning Services
Jalpa was our full time planner for our wedding in September 2023 and she did an incredible job. She was very flexible and available to answer texts or calls whenever we needed. She was able to guide us through every step of the process from picking the venue to hiring all the vendors. She was very realistic and practical and gave us recommendations based our our budget. She is very familiar with all the local vendors and was able to guide us to choose the ones who best fit our wants and needs. The weekend of our wedding she was hustling to make sure everything was perfect and her expertise and professionalism really showed. She was able to handle some unexpected complicated matters with grace and without overwhelming us or our families, which we are extremely grateful for. By the end of the wedding she felt like a family member to us. I would definitely recommend Jalpa for anyone looking to have a multiple event Indian wedding. -

Shulie P. Sent on 09/05/2023The absolute best coordinator
Jalpa and her team were truly flawless. We hired her as a day-of coordinator and she went above and beyond for us. She was thinking of details we wouldn't have thought of and was able to create a detailed and accurate timeline. She was commanding enough to keep us on track and get things done, but flexible and kind enough to make us feel more relaxed during the day. Her team thought of clever and effective solutions to issues that popped up on the day of the event (including dress malfunctions!). The days she and her team were present were the only days my now husband and I had the time to eat with our guests! I cannot recommend her and her team highly enough. If you aren't sure if you should choose her, I will tell you now - you won't regret having J2R manage your event! -

Best in the business!
J2R is the best in the business! Rumi at J2R planned our wedding in late august and they did an amazing job. Our wedding events were 5 days long, 6 different venues, 25+ vendors, all crammed in a week with a reception venue that was put up a few days before the event!
Even with how complicated our wedding events were, Rumi was on top of everything. A commanding leader that can work with multiple vendors, juggling lots of priorities to get the job done right in a high-pressure environment, all with a smile on her face. Rumi tackled any issue that came up with poise and made sure to solve any challenge quickly. Rumi and her team helped us plan the wedding of our dreams, and most importantly, executed it flawlessly. Highly recommend J2R!! -

Nish P. Sent on 10/10/2023Amazing service, highly recommend!
We were beyond happy with how helpful Jalpa and her team were for our wedding events. She became an integral part of our planning as the wedding date neared, helping the coordination of the various vendors. She reached out to all of the important people, making sure each person was aware of their roles and responsibilities. Jalpa and her team were omnipresent during each event, making sure the timeline was adhered to and that we got to enjoy food and drinks ourselves. Months before the wedding, it is easy to question whether such services are necessary. After going through wedding week ourselves, we were counting our blessings for having had such an amazing coordinator and team help us along the way. I would wholeheartedly recommend Jalpa's services for anyone interested in a smooth wedding experience! -

Keyoor P. Sent on 10/29/2023Amazing Experience
Jalpa at J2R Events was our wedding planner for our wedding in Indianapolis in August 2023! My wife and I started our wedding planning process in 2022 and Jalpa was recommended by a close friend as someone who "gets things done." And she 100% got things done.
Wedding planning can be a long and stressful process. You want to work with a planner and vendors that will help take that stress off your plate so you can focus on the important things - like enjoying your engagement! The best part of working with Jalpa was that it did not feel like she was just a vendor - but rather, she was a partner in our special time that truly cared about our well being, our wishes, and our happiness.
The unique thing about our wedding was that we were based in Chicago and we had mostly Chicago vendors traveling to Indianapolis. This could make logistics a bit complicated but with Jalpa's leadership, there were no issues at all. Our wedding day was orchestrated perfectly, and our friends and family were blown away by how organized (and on time!!!) everything was.
If you're planning a wedding, I don't think there are many options better than J2R Events. You'll realize that quickly when you talk to them/interview with them. I will be recommending them to all my friends and family, near and far. Just look at all the reviews here - J2R Events has fans and friends for life after weddings. -

As a bride, working with Jalpa at J2R events was an amazing experience. We first connected with Jalpa about a year before our wedding upon recommendation from other brides. After the first interview, we knew that this is the type of wedding planner that we were looking for: organized, experienced, and full of positive energy.
Throughout the year, we had frequent meetings and Jalpa helped us coordinate communications between all of our vendors - decor, catering, DJ, video/photo, and even our clothing designers.
It helps that Jalpa and J2R has had so much experience with weddings so there was nothing they haven’t seen before. This helped alleviate a lot of the stress that goes into wedding planning.
When it comes to the wedding day itself, Jalpa and her team ran an incredibly organized event that our guests really appreciated. There was no stress about logistics during the wedding day itself and I had the opportunity to just actually ENJOY my wedding!
It’s the happiest day of your life and Jalpa made the experience even happier. I highly, highly recommend J2R - talk to them and you’ll see! -

Elizabeth A. Sent on 07/25/2023Highly recommend! Best wedding planner and team!
J2R Events made our wedding weekend flawless and it couldn't have gone any better, thanks to Jalpa and her team!! It was an absolute pleasure working with Jalpa for our multicultural wedding.
We had our wedding here in Chicago, however, my family is currently living in Canada. We went with the full service package and I remember early in the initial wedding planning process, Jalpa had a Zoom call with me and my parents. She told them not to worry about anything because she would be here in Chicago to help me in every way possible, and that is exactly what she did. Jalpa was extremely detail oriented, was always available for a phone call and was quick to respond to text messages. She was extremely friendly and so much fun to work with! She always had a smile on her face and made every phone call, every vendor meeting and every moment so much more special. My husband and I always felt supported knowing that Jalpa was there to help us, every step of the way.
Jalpa went the extra mile to always communicate with me, my husband and our families. She was amazing and because of her kind, bubbly and thoughtful personality, everyone got along so well! If I was ever nervous about something or had a question about anything, Jalpa made me feel better and always had an answer. Jalpa was always extremely organized, helped us find the BEST vendors, communicated with those vendors and made sure all the payments were done on time. Since I am not originally from Chicago, finding local vendors (that catered to both cultures) was extremely important to us and we LOVED every single one of them.
Jalpa and her team made sure every wedding event had been planned perfectly and made sure to execute the timeline flawlessly, as well. My husband and I were so impressed with how Jalpa and her team kept us on time, brought us food and drinks during these events, and packed up everything so there was no stress on us after these events. I am so happy with how everything turned out and I owe all the planning and execution to Jalpa Patel and her J2R Events team. We are truly touched by how special our wedding was and how much fun we had planning our wedding with Jalpa. We love Jalpa, J2R Events and their team and would highly recommend them to anyone in need of an event planner! -

We used J2R events and Rumi was our lead coordinator for our Indian wedding. We couldn’t have been more happy with how they handled our wedding. Everything went very smooth, and Rumi was so easy to communicate with and very prepared for everything. If you are looking for a wedding planner or month of coordinator highly recommend J2R events! -

Marisol B. Sent on 07/05/2023Exceptional full wedding planning service!
Our experience planning a multi-cultural and inter-faith wedding with J2R Events was absolutely wonderful! Right from the start, we felt at ease with their expertise and excellent reputation. They seamlessly incorporated services from their wide range of vendors that perfectly aligned with our Indian, Mexican, Hindu, and Catholic traditions.
Jalpa, Rumi, and Mitul were truly amazing. Jalpa's careful attention to our budget and unwavering commitment to providing exceptional service left us very impressed. Every single detail was flawlessly executed, and their understanding and support made the entire process stress-free.
We highly recommend J2R Events for full wedding planning. They exceeded our expectations with their professionalism, expertise, and dedication. They even managed to keep us on track during a challenging interstate move. A heartfelt thank you to the J2R team for being an essential part of our special day! -
