    A Dream Come True!

    I cannot say enough good things about Jen Strunk. She was my right hand man throughout my whole wedding process. I had a backyard wedding which seemed like it would be really difficult to put together but with the help of Jen my dream wedding came true. What I was most impressed by is Jen has a solution to any problem or issue you may come by. Weddings are very stressful but I didnt feel stressed at all because of her. She is so positive, organized and fun to work with. What is also great about Jen is she has so many different connections to vendors and all the vendors she recommends are amazing. Didn't have one issue with a vendor I used that she had suggested. I had talked to a few planners before I booked Jen. But after of 5 minutes of speaking with her I knew she was the perfect wedding planner. The intake call she was already making a timeline and making suggestions on how to make my wedding day the way I wanted it. She made me feel so special. The other planners I had spoken to seemed to care more about how much they were going to get paid. Jen is so passionate about her job. Definitely use her for your special day! She will make your wedding planning and wedding day perfect!

    Jen Strunk is the best!

    Jen Strunk was a pleasure to work with. I feel so lucky to have found her as there aren't that many day-of coordinators in the area. Although our venue did have managers that claimed to do day-of coordination, we are so happy we decided to have Jen as someone to advocate for me and my husband's wishes for the day. We had great service from the banquet managers, but at the end of the day, they are so busy with managing the food, catering, etc. Thank GOD we had Jen because we had a major snafu with a delay of one of our performers. Jen took the initiative to call them to figure out the solution and keep us posted as well as make suggestions about how to alter our timeline. If Jen had not called, we would not have been informed and it would have been much more stressful than it was. She was very professional and worked well with all our other vendors. We cannot recommend her enough.

    Great Day of Coordinator!

    Jenn was great to work with. She was available for questions from the day we booked with her to the day of the wedding. She handled set up at the venue, timeline of the day, and communicating with other vendors. I was not worried about anything day of with Jenn in charge! We would highly recommend.

    Jen - The Amazing Coordinator

    I collaborated with Jen as a vendor for a local wedding. She is a calm, kind person and had everything under control during her coordination of the wedding. I was also in correspondence with our bride, who expressed her satisfaction in hiring Jen. Jen is an experienced professional and knowledgeable about navigation of your wedding experience. Book her, you won't be disappointed!

    Top tier day of coordinator!

    I'm not going to lie. My now husband initially scoffed at the idea of a day of coordinator, calling it a "waste of money", thinking we could handle everything ourselves. Well...fast forward to the day of our wedding, and one of the first things he said to me was "the second I walked in the venue and saw Jen pulling everything together, I knew we didn't have to worry about anything, and could just relax and enjoy our wedding day. It was probably the best thing we spent money on." I don't think I need to say more about how amazing Jen's day of services are then my completely stubborn and frugal husband eating his words :D.

    Not only did she make our wedding day absolutely seamless (I mean we literally didn't have to deal with any logistics...), she was also a huuuuuge help during the planning process. I was a long distance bride, who didn't know the area well, and she was there every step of the way to answer all of my questions, from vendor recommendations, to measurements, to floorplans and beyond. Thank you again Jen!

    Truly an angel!!

    Jen has literally saved the day for me on multiple occasions. We had to postpone due to pandemic and Jen helped me every step of the way! She’s absolutely AMAZING. She has the sweetest tone and reassurance that every bride needs to hear! Jen helped me with planning at the site, decor, worked with all my hired vendors and was there for me anytime I needed her. She clearly knows how to plan a wedding, a timeline and to squeeze in special moments for the bride and groom to have a minute to soak everything in. Jen was my wedding planner but now will be a forever friend. Do yourself a favor, and make sure this woman is available for your special day!!

    Helped us every step of the way!

    Jen was amazing through all this planning. We were referred to her by a friend, and that was the best choice we could have made. She made sure to coordinate with all of our vendors, was quick with her responses, and totally understood last minute panics and weird requests my mother made. She supported us as we completely replanned our wedding about two months before the wedding date, was considerate in planning for a socially distancing wedding, and without her we would not have had a wedding at all. All I can say is ‘thank you!’ To Jen for all that she did.

    Don't skimp out on a DOC!

    Jen was originally hired as my DOC for what would be my 200+ wedding this year but when COVID threw a wrench in those plans, Jen rolled right along with it. In addition to helping me get my original vendors rescheduled for next year, she offered to work with me to assist in planning my now microwedding, answering all questions along the way and making sure that all my other vendors were coordinated. Leading up to the wedding she was super accessible. She has an awesome planning portal that made it easy to keep all my wedding details in one place, including decor. On the day of she was so on top of everything and always checking in with us to make sure we were taken care of and staying in constant communication with our other vendors. She worked with the venue to execute our wedding vision beautifully, even as we had to go to our back up plan for an indoor wedding due to rain. Everything just flowed and we were able to enjoy the day without having to worry about any kind of logistics. Jen's services were so invaluable and we are lucky enough to keep her as our DOC for next year. If you are thinking of hiring a DOC look no further!

    Amazing experience with Jen as our day-of coordinator!

    Hiring Jen was one of the best decisions we made during our wedding planning process. Being an event planner myself, I wanted to work with vendors I trusted. Jen comes highly recommended by her peers in the industry and works professionally with other businesses and vendors to make the day as perfect as possible. Having her on-site allowed us to relax and live in the moment of our special day, instead of having to worry about last minute set-up needs, timelines, etc. Jen went above and beyond to make our wedding as seamless as possible for everyone involved. Thank you Jen for everything!!!

    Simply the best!

    Jen is AMAZING!! Hiring her as our day-of coordinator was the best decision we made. I wasn’t sure I needed a DOC, but she came so highly recommended we decided to book her, and I am so glad we did! She answered all of my questions and gave me advice as we went through the planning process. But having her in that last month leading up to the wedding was so incredibly helpful, and really took a lot of stress and pressure off of me. I had a million questions in the weeks leading up to the wedding, and she was there every step of the way. She made sure all of our vendors were on the same page, which helped so much. On the day of, she did not let me worry about one single thing. She even did a make a makeshift bustle on my dress!! You can tell she is passionate about her job and clients. Our families, wedding party, and other vendors have all said how wonderful she was. She ensured we had the best day! I can not recommend her enough! She was the best decision we made, and she’ll be the best decision for your special day too. Thank you so much Jen!!!

    Best wedding decision I made, I loved her!

    I can’t rave about Jen enough! I would have never survived without her. She helped me every step of the way and was always very responsive to all of my questions. On my wedding day she set up the venue perfectly and kept everything flowing and organized. She completely made it possible for me to enjoy my wedding stress free. Having a day of coordinator was by far the best money I spent. On top of being very good at her job she is such a lovely person. I would recommend her 100%.

    We don’t know what we would’ve done without Jen!

    We almost chose to trust our venue coordinator who insisted we didn’t need a Day Of Coordinator, but I’m so happy I stumbled onto Jen’s website and read her “my venue has a coordinator, why do i need a DOC?” before doing so. One phone call with Jen and I knew we had to hire her. It was clear we’d have piece of mind knowing we had her support through the final steps of the planning process and her oversight of the events on the day of the wedding.
    Jen was committed to doing everything she could to insure we had the perfect day we’d envisioned.... and she succeeded! Whatever hiccups may have come up throughout the day went unnoticed by my husband and I as we enjoyed our day to the absolute fullest extent. Jen took care with all the little details, including picking up our cake, setting up our memory table, making our sweetheart table & chairs look just right, and most importantly making sure we got a special platter of cocktail appetizers just for us!
    Hiring her was the best decision we made!

    One of the first and best decisions we made!

    From the beginning of our wedding-planning process, I knew I wanted to hire a coordinator to ensure the day went smoothly, especially because my now-husband and I live in New York and we were getting married in Connecticut. I researched several planners before I decided on Jen, and I am so happy that we got to work with her. We hired her for day-of coordination, but she always made herself available to us when we had questions along the way, and our other vendors even commented on how professional and organized she was. During the planning process, reassured us when we were stressed, and her relationships local vendors were invaluable. On the day of the wedding, she helped everything move along smoothly, and I have no doubt that she played no small part in making it one of the best days of our lives.

    Prepared, professional & seamless service

    As someone who has coordinated large events for my own work and had chosen a venue that required a lot of work (Carousel at Lighthouse Point Park), I was looking for someone who could take the stress of day-of-coordinating off of my shoulders so I could be fully present for my wedding day. Jen quickly rose to the top of the day-of-coordinators I talked with because of her calm, level-headed approach that understands both the emotional AND financial weight of the day. She took excellent notes during our planning conversations, has a robust organizational system to capture all of the components of the day accurately, and reached out the month before our wedding to fully dig into the details. Our wedding went off without a hitch, and I felt confident and comfortable with her guiding our day. We highly recommend Jen!

    She eliminates all the stress!

    I'm so glad we hired Jen as our ceremony coordinator. She helped plan and set up the most amazingly beautiful wedding ceremony at a location where we had to do all the work for rentals, set-up, and break-down. I trusted her with all these tasks the day of and it completely eliminated any stress I had about making sure things were perfect- she made the space look beautiful and helped everything run without a hitch!
    It wasn't until after the wedding that I found out there was a major problem with the chair rentals - something that would have likely ruined my spirits on such an important weekend. She fixed the problem very professionally without letting me know there were any bumps in the road.
    You can't go wrong with hiring Jen!

    She made our day perfect!

    Jen is incredible! She made sure our wedding day went perfectly from beginning to end. She knows all the questions to ask and made sure that everything was perfect for us. We are so thankful for her professionalism and felt so comfortable having her in our venue that day making sure everything ran smoothly. If you are on the fence about having a day of coordinator- do it! I didn’t have a thing to worry about the morning of the wedding because Jen was taking care of everything!

    Jen is amazing!! She is super experienced, organized, reliable, and an absolute pleasure to work with. We cannot express how relieved we felt about the planning process after hiring Jen. She quickly became our go-to for all of our questions and concerns from vendors, to the day-of timeline, floor plan, and ceremony logistics. She executed our wedding day to perfection - we don’t know what we would have done without her!

    Jen is a magical goddess of wedding coordination! Working with her was seriously the best decision we made for our wedding day. If something needed to be handled, she handled it like a total boss. Hiring Jen is like having your most organized best friend to handle all those important details of your wedding day. I can't say enough good things about her!! Jen made our day PERFECT and we could not have been more happy that she was there to make sure it was exactly the way we had dreamt it would be!
    Future Brides: Do yourself a huge favor and hire Jen ASAP.

    We love you so much Jen!! The day would not have been perfect if we didn't have you by our side!!

    We used Jen as a day-of coordinator for our wedding and honestly she was a freaking rock star. She handled EVERYTHING in the month leading up to the wedding and so many stupid details the day of that I never would have been able to handle on my own. She responded to my emails and texts basically instantly, answered all the dumb questions I had, and was so so professional and hardworking the day of. We used her for an event at a mostly DIY venue and there is just no way we could have done it without her.

    I used Jen for save the dates and invitations and was very pleased. She was nice and her prices were way better than any other designer I looked into. I have no idea what that nasty review below is all about but I suppose every business has "that one" customer lol. Jen was always professional and quick to reply to emails. I got so many compliments on my invitations. Def recommend her.

    We hired Jen for our August 2016 wedding at the Branford House, which ended up being one of the best planning decisions that we made! After our first conversation I felt at ease knowing that Jen would be able to help me keep track of all of the details of our wedding day which is so critical at the Branford House considering that you bring in all of your vendors so there are a lot of moving pieces. For our first meeting, she met us at the venue to do a thorough walk through which was really helpful in our planning process; she offered a bunch of suggestions based on her experience at the venue which were greatly appreciated. Closer to the wedding, she also reached out to and confirmed all of our vendors as a part of her normal day of package which was so appreciated (and I felt above & beyond what we hired her for!). The day of, Jen was absolutely our most critical vendor. She was there 4 hours before the ceremony to help with set up. She monitored all 7 of the vendors coming and going (which I'm sure was no easy task) and everything was set up exactly how we had envisioned it! Throughout the day, we had a few things come up and she was right there taking the lead on making sure everything was perfect. Everything went off seamlessly and I truly attribute it to Jen. Her personality is so calming, and friendly that she really made working with her such a joy and eliminated any stress for us the day of. Several of my other vendors commented to me how wonderful and professional she was which I couldn’t echo enough. We have talked many times since our wedding amongst ourselves about how Jen is the perfect balance of monitoring the vendors, checking in, while also staying discretely in the background. We could not thank Jen enough for being a part of our wedding day! We feel so lucky that we were able to work with her to make our wedding day the best day of our lives!

    Jen was a wonderful asset to our wedding! She did our invitations and they were gorgeous. She never minded when I asked for multiple revisions and was quick to reply to my emails. Always within 36 hours. The finished product was stunning and arrived right on time. We also used her for day of coordination and it was the best money spent. The peace of mind knowing she was there to take care of any problems that might arise was REALLY worth it for me. She literally took care of everything on our wedding day. Having all of my gifts and decorations boxed up and waiting for me at the end of the night was great. I highly recommend Jen!!

    Jen Strunk was my "jane of all trades" at my Branford House wedding earlier this month!

    Day of Coordination: Jen was incredible - available for answers to the silliest questions I never realized I'd have when I started planning! She helped me create a comprehensive timeline for the day, made suggestions about the logistics of our "getting ready" timeline (we started out at a nearby hotel) - she has done so many BH weddings she was able to give me advice on uplighting, she had a map of the BH I was able to use when deciding on table layout, etc. We met and did two different walkthroughs, one early on and another one the week before to ensure we were on the same page! The day of she was phenomenal! She steamed my dress twice - made sure that I ate & always had champagne. She communicated with me throughout the night so that I knew things were under control, and was there until the last box got put into my dads car at the end of the night! Heidi was just as wonderful. Both ladies were calm and collected and made the night run seamlessly. I loved that my parents didn't have to worry about a thing - they were able to just enjoy the night!

    Invitations: I reached out to Jen to get advice on proper wording for the invitation I had already picked out....we ended up talking at length about the design I was looking at, and Jen offered to do them for me instead. The quality was better, the design was better, and the cost was better! She sent me multiple drafts to ensure it was perfect. Jen printed addresses on all of the envelopes for me, which is worth it's weight in gold. We decided a directions card was necessary - and she was able to make me a custom map of campus that coordinated with the invites! She was also happy accommodate a last minute addition to the suite I threw at her!

    Oh - and at her day job she helped me pick a custom made wedding band!!!

    Thanks to Jen & Heidi I was able to enjoy my wedding - it was the perfect day!

    We used Jen as a Day-of-Coordinator and she was absoluety amazing! She didnt miss any details what so ever, she had it all put together exactly how I had envisioned, actually even better! She was so accomidating to our unique needs, and even made sure that my grandmother had a front row seat for our first dance, and offered to get my husand and I snacks and drinks while we were taking pictures (Thank god)! I cant emphasize enough how truly grateful we are to Jen for all of her hard work on the day of and weeks leading up to our wedding making it absolutely perfect. We couldnt have done it without her!
