Sweta S. Sent on 04/10/2019Dream wedding!
Jennifer was an absolute pleasure to work with!! She truly made our dream wedding come to life. The entire process was made that much easier for us because we had her on our team! She knew exactly which vendors to suggest to us based on our style and price range. She executed every single detail to perfection! Anytime I was stressed throughout the planning process, she was always easing my mind and made sure we were on top of our timeline to get everything done in time. I live in NY, while the wedding was in FL, and since it was hard to fly back and forth often, Jennifer was always so responsive and quick to hop on the phone anytime, making the process so much easier. She was always attentive to the small details and I completely trusted her in planning our wedding. She truly helped deliver the elegant yet unique wedding we dreamed of! Our wedding was 4 days long during Thanksgiving weekend last year, and Jennifer and her team executed every event flawlessly. Truly an amazing experience working with Jennifer!! Can’t thank her enough for making this experience unforgettable. -
User2467543 Sent on 12/14/2015Jennifer is Wedding Planner SUPER WOMAN!!! We worked with Jennifer for 2 years to plan our destination wedding in Palm Beach, FL (Four Seasons Resort), while we were living in NYC. And as soon as we met her we were blown away. She knew the answer to every question big or small. Any unique ideas I had, she had someone she knew, who could make it happen! i.e. Underwater Photography, Mirrored Invitations… Jennifer was so responsive and timely. She has a great team of ladies who are also extremely responsive and amazing to have with you on big day. We could only take about 3 trips down to FL to plan, so Jennifer planned itinerary and made sure we finished everything in the weekends we were in town. Now, God Bless Jennifer, because my husband actually turned into a bit of a groomzilla at times, and she honestly handled everything with such professionalism and usually melted away his stress with her confident responses. She is an all-star.
She went above and beyond! When we forgot to mail a rehearsal dinner invite to someone, she asked her husband to run to post office and save the day last minute. I’m an extremely visual person so she put together a vision board for me to see everything. Her team is also bilingual, and they worked with my Spanish makeup artist to book and plan everything for wedding weekend. Everyone on her team was absolutely amazing! My mother was not involved in my planning and I was the first of my friends to be getting married, so Jennifer literally answered a boat load of questions that most people would probably already know. If there were ever any hiccups (i.e. the hotel piano broke a month before our wedding, she figured out a replacement at no cost to us). I don’t know how people plan weddings without Jennifer J and co. I would recommend her and her team every single time. She is SPECTACULAR! Thank you Jennifer for making our wedding the MOST SPECIAL, MEMORABLE and AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL days of our lives! WE love you! -

I planned my wedding from DC and this presented a lot of challenges at times, but having these ladies on board eased my mind and made everything go seamlessly. These women are not only talented, they are reliable, creative and will go to the enth degree to make your day perfection. Thank you for the printing, well wishes board, for wrapping my soar feet and calming my nerves (just to name a few).
I adore you ladies!

Liz Sent on 04/15/2012I hired Jennifer just a few months before my wedding as a DOC. She was absolutely wonderful, as was her staff. She sent a "bridal valet" to help the bridal party get ready, make sure we were on track, etc. Elizabeth, the bridal valet, was amazing. I can't imagine not having a DOC. I highly recommend them. -
User771819 Sent on 04/09/2012I have been mulling over this review for quite a while, simply because of the fact that I feel I cannot do it enough justice.
Jenn is, bar none, the best investment you'll make for your wedding. This review would span 6 pages if I recounted every detail of how she made my wedding special from the planning to its full-on execution.
Let me start from the beginning. I had basically narrowed my search down to the top two planners (in my estimation) in SoFLA. From the moment I called her I knew she would be the one. I chose her because, as everyone in the reviews has recounted time and time again, she is an excellent communicator. Before I had even booked her she sent me an itemized breakdown of wedding costs and was more than generous with ideas. Since I was planning from out West and have a very demanding work schedule, I prized written (email) communication above all. Though I was not there to select the venue, she sent me extremely detailed information and even sent in pics AND videos of the venues and their requisite pros and cons. This segued into the rest of my vendors. Since I was not a very hands-on bride, she would send me her top three picks for, say, photographer, and review the pros and cons. Rarely would I have a follow-up question. She was that thorough.
Throughout the wedding process my husband and I would constantly comment that we wish she was our life planner. She planned the tasting, brought in the cake samples so we didn't have to run around all over Miami and could make our decision after our Tasting, brought in the linens, chargers, etc, and basically has made it seamless for me to be able to make decisions confidently and in no time (I am an extremely busy person and do not have the luxury of thinking about minutiae every day). Jen coordinated with Guerdy (my florist), is very intuitive and knows exactly what I want. She even showed me my invites and mailed them for me! I live in the middle of nowhere so this was such a load off of my shoulders.
Jenn also helped me plan my E-session and Rehearsal Dinner. She and her staff did the groundwork for booking a yacht for my e-session and were instrumental in locating the venue for my Rehearsal dinner. This she did even though it wasn't in my initial contract with her.
At the day of the wedding, I was an extremely relaxed bride (my friends were so surprised since I have a Type-A personality and they were fully expecting a bridezilla to emerge). The reason was Jenn; I knew she had everything taken care of and my day would be seamless. And seamless and perfect it was. I knew logistically that my venue had some inherent difficulties. Guests had to take a ten-minute ferry ride to Fisher Island from South Beach. If there were any problems though, I did not catch any whiff of it. My wedding was honestly the best weekend of my life, and my husband can attest to having the same feeling. We would not have been so relaxed were it not for her and her staff.
My contract also included a bridal valet. I did not even know such an occupation existed but by the end of the wedding, she was indispensable. Ladies, you really need one. Elizabeth handled everything, from getting the correct lip-gloss shade that the MUA had applied on me, to whipping out a disposable toothbrush.
A couple more examples of how amazing Jenn and her staff were:
1. She matched the photo booth "picture" to match the decorations on my invite
2. Since I was a destination bride, she did my welcome bags and letter so I did not have to stress the week of my wedding and I could just enjoy my time with family and friends.
3. She solved numerous tux problems
4. She designed my photo book album so everything would be "matchy-matchy."
5. She solved problems with booking regarding our block hotels that put our guests at ease
Above all, Jenn made my wedding look like a million bucks for far less. She has excellent taste and vision coupled with a pragmatic side that everyone needs out of a planner. She was instrumental in making my wedding an incredible affair. To quote my husband, our wedding would've been a "redneck affair" without her.
I honestly could go on and on.....
In healthcare, you need an advocate for when you're ill. Jennifer is your advocate in the often confounding and hard-to-navigate South Florida wedding industry.

Latoya Sent on 08/24/2011I commend Jennifer and her team on their efficiency and professionalism. She provided us with a variety of styles and selections that did not compromise our wallet or her reputation. My husband originally protested the idea of hiring a planner by insisting it was a "waste of money." Now after enduring the chaos that comes with planning/managing a large wedding he highly recommends a planner specifically Jennifer J Events. Her in-house florist Bruce was icing on the cake. -

Kathleen Sent on 04/04/2011We could write a novel about how great the experience was working with Jennifer Johnson. But to summarize, here are the top 3 things that we enjoyed about her the most, and ultimately, why we would recommend her to ANY of our closest friends and family:
1. Amazing responsiveness – Jennifer was incredibly responsive to our many questions via phone call and email. When we planned the wedding, I was living in L.A., my husband was in Orange County, while Jennifer was planning our wedding in Miami. There were tons of questions given our locations, and our demanding high-stress jobs. But she was always responded to our inquiries (typically within a few hours max.), but more importantly, was always positive with a happy “how can I help you” attitude.
2. Effective & efficient communication – Jennifer is a wealth of knowledge, with tons of experience with wedding planning, and all the key vendors in the Miami area. However, instead of overwhelming us with too much information, she has an unbelievably great ability to provide you with summarized information that gives you (the bride & groom) just the right level of detail to understand, feel comfortable, and make a decision on the spot. She saved us a HUGE amount of time because of her method of communication. Let me qualify this a bit: my husband and I are extremely detail oriented, thoughtful people, who have worked at high pace corporate jobs and want information immediately, but in the “executive summary” type of format. For example, when Jennifer would present information to us about picking a transportation vendor, she would send us an email with all information we needed in such a thorough manner that we either didn’t have further questions, or just had a few more questions, and we would proceed quickly with making a decision. We’ve rarely worked with people in the corporate world who can communicate as effectively as Jennifer.
3. Professionalism and great knowledge of the process – When you work with Jennifer, you will quickly realize that she knows the wedding planning process and vendor information like the back of her hand. Ask her anything, she can probably respond right there and then with the answer.
Last but not least, I have to share how we found Jennifer, which will show you the #1 reason why we would vouch for her. We hired a horrible wedding planner in Miami that we found on WeddingWire initially. She was the opposite of Jennifer! After many fights with my husband, tears, and ‘come to Jesus’ talks with our ex-wedding planner, we fired her mid-way through the process. We found Jennifer through a recommendation from a photographer, and she helped us think of the wedding as an exciting event, not a horrible, stress-enducing process.
On the big day, my husband and I really felt like the day was absolutely perfect. It probably didn’t work out perfectly though, but the point is that from our perspective, it was. If things went wrong, we didn’t know about it, Jennifer handled it! The wedding day was extremely relaxed and stress free! Jennifer’s timeline was executed to near perfection. She didn’t ever overload us with instrutions of where we needed to be at what time of the day (neither of us even wore watches). She would just casually come to us, and tell us what we needed to do in the next 2-5 minutes, and we would do the action needed (ie bouquet toss, cake cutting, exit to the limo, etc.). My “bridal valet” and Jennifer’s team on the day were fantastic. All of her vendors were amazing (by the way, we had to fire one of the vendors that our original wedding planner placed because they were unprofessional and flaky – which was another issues that was solved by Jennifer).
Jennifer helped us stay on our tight budget, but also didn’t hesitate in helping us with non-wedding items, such as our rehearsal dinner and bridal shower – something that NONE of the other wedding planners I talked to would even fathom doing without an additional fee. She goes over and above - and you can tell that she does this because she loves what she does, and wants to bring her positive nature and joy to the brides and grooms she helps.
And the cherry on top – she “gifted” us with a surprise upgrade to chiavari chairs at the wedding reception! She’s absolutely amazing.
