    The best!!!

    Jen and her team are exceptional. We got married in April at Blue Hill and we booked the partial planning option with Lovely and we are so glad that we did. The partial planning option was perfect for us -- Jen provided in depth vendor recommendations, assistance with putting together a florist proposal (which was veryyyy helpful!), 12-month timeline and she was always available to us for questions along the way. Then, 2 months before our wedding things really kicked up a notch. Jen was very involved and had regular Zoom and email check-ins with us. She and her team coordinated with all of our vendors and put together a comprehensive timeline. They handled all of the little things that I would never have thought of and luckily didn't have to worry about because Jen had it under control. All of our vendors also loved working with Jen - which makes everything feel great. On the day of the wedding, Jen was amazing. When we were a bit behind schedule she never made us feel rushed or panicked and somehow got us back on schedule. My cousin-in-law who got married the summer before was amazed at how much better Jen and her team were than her own wedding planner (sad, but true!!). If you're getting married at Blue Hill or at another venue in or around Westchester/Upstate NY - you should book Lovely. I recommend Jen so wholeheartedly. We are so appreciative of all of her help and her calm leadership!

    1000/10 Recommend

    We cannot recommend Jen and Lovely Events enough! We had Jen come on as a partial planner as I had some experience "planning" my sisters wedding years prior, but I quickly realized we needed an expert this time around. Jen was so easy to work with, she was very responsive and no question was too small. She was also able to guide us on any decisions we had and we trusted her expertise! I wasn't sure what to expect with having a wedding planner but Jen went above and beyond anything I thought of! She seamlessly took over as the wedding neared, which put all our nerves at ease. And with so many moving parts on the day of, Jen still managed to come by and pick up all day of items to bring to the venue so we had one less thing to worry about! At the venue, Jen and her assistants Riley and Grace, were amazing! They were always checking in with me and my family to make sure everyone was comfortable while making sure all the vendors were set and things were on schedule. They were also so accomodating when we made some very last minute changes and they did it all with a smile! Jen and her team truly want to make your big day as calm and easy as possible and they definitely suceeded in that! We 10000% recommend Lovely Events and wish we could get married again if only to work with Jen again.

    Patient and structured wedding coordinator who was a pleasure to work with

    Jennifer was a life saver for our recent wedding at the Liberty Warehouse. She provided detailed vendor recommendations, particularly on the florist (who we loved!), and kept us organized (and sane) in the busy weeks leading up to the event. The highlight for me was her suggestion to interleave each of our courses with our planned dance routines and sets, which people keep telling us to this day was one of the most creative ways to get them on the dance floor.

    I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anybody looking for a day of coordinator, a wedding planner, or anything in between. You will not regret it!

    Diana Bowes

    We used Jennifer for two completely different weddings. She was organized, flexible, creative and experienced and calm! Very professional. I cannot recommend her and her staff higher. She lent both weddings a sense of
    Calm and confidence.

    Simply amazing!

    I had the pleasure of working with Jen for our wedding at Blue Hill at Stone Barns and cannot recommend her highly enough! Throughout the entire process, Jen was attentive, patient, and accommodating to all of our needs. In the planning phase, Jen was extremely helpful - she gave us great suggestions on vendors and on how to structure our wedding day. On our wedding day, Jen was absolutely amazing! Everything in her control went exactly as planned. Jen handled last minute weather changes with the calmness and confidence we needed. She was able to work with the venue to quickly move our ceremony to be covered and our cocktail hour indoors. Despite the sudden change, our ceremony and cocktail hour were absolutely beautiful.

    Jen was incredibly easy to work with and made us feel supported from start to finish. I highly recommend working with her and will definitely reach out to Jen for any future events!

    Thank You, Jen!!!

    We are so grateful that we chose to work with Jen for our wedding day and cannot recommend her and her team enough!! Jen constantly kept us on track throughout the whole process, helping shape and bring our vision to life along the way. She was always organized, responsive, and so knowledgeable about the ins and outs of every decision. Possibly the most important takeaway from our experience with Jen was her ability to guide us to trusted vendors. We truly could not have been happier with each and every vendor that we worked with, and we owe that entirely to Jen and her expertise in the field. On the day, Jen, Kacie, and Grace were both seamlessly managing all of our vendors, but also paid us the utmost care, constantly making sure we had what we needed and that we were comfortable and having a great time. We are so appreciative for all that Jen did for us through a year+ of planning all the way through the big day, and we can’t recommend her and the Lovely team enough!

    Mother of the bride

    Jen and her Lovely Event Team were amazing. Her expertise and professionalism were beyond compare. She introduced us to vendors which brought our daughter’s dream wedding to fruition. Jen was great explaining why we should or shouldn’t do something and she was always right.
    Working with Jen was easy, her quick responses to questions, her calm demeanor and her coordination of vendors made the process seem effortless to us. If there were any glitches day if I have no knowledge of them- Jen and Riley handled it all.
    Jen and Lovely Event went beyond planning and organizing our daughter’s wedding. One of her greatest attributes was how she treated our daughter - like she was the most important bride. Her genuine caring made her feel like a trusted friend!
    If I had another daughter getting married Jen would be my 1st phone call.

    Incredible!!

    I’m endlessly grateful to Jen and her team for helping to make our dream wedding a reality. From the jump, Jen was always available as a resource and was super responsive to all of my emails/calls/texts. Every vendor she recommended was 10/10 and she made wedding planning a breeze, particularly in the weeks leading up to the wedding. I was anticipating lots of stress, but she was on top of every detail. My day went flawlessly, thanks to Jen and her assistants Kacie and Riley. Our families and bridal party were so impressed by their professionalism and attentiveness. I was initially hesitant about needing a planner, but I can honestly say I don’t think I could’ve pulled it off without them, worth absolutely every penny and one of the best decisions I made!

    They are amazing!!

    We worked with Jen and she made the process stress free & smooth! Jen put up with our constant questions and always answered them so quickly, as well as hoping on video calls with our vendors. Also, she was there day of our wedding, along with Kacie. They both ensured everything went seamless and we did not have to worry about anything day of, thanks to them! Choosing to work with them was the best decision we made, besides marrying each other. Our wedding day was magical thanks to them! You will have no regrets with them and they are worth it!

    Kristen was amazing before and during the event. She was totally available, calming us when we were worried, anticipating anything that might occur and always having a solution. So kind and professional. I could not recommend them more highly.

    Absolutely amazing

    I worked with Jen and had a phenomenal experience -- I cannot recommend her and Lovely Event Planning enough!! We had already picked a venue and some vendors but needed help with day-of coordination, some communication with certain vendors, as well as design inspiration, so we did the partial planning package. It was worth every penny. Jen went above and beyond the entire time despite it being a crazy wedding season with all the postponements and COVID protocols changing -- I don't know how she does it! She was super responsive, organized, creative, kind, and accommodating. When we had issues getting responses from a less-than-responsive vendor, Jen was on it. When we last minute found out we needed to rent dishware, Jen was ready with suggestions that matched our other decor and got them reserved right away. Jen was also very respectful of my budget and never pressured me into anything we didn't want. She is clearly very experienced and knowledgable, so I trusted Jen would always get me the right answer and she did! Our wedding itself was just perfect , and it was a joy to have Jen and Kacie there that day. If you're looking for a planner with great taste and exceptional skill at planning and executing a wedding, look no further!

    Amazing combination of organized and creative!

    Working with Jen from Lovely Event Planning was one of the best wedding planning decisions we made! She is thorough and organized, but also creative and has an eye for design. She helped us stay on top of all the planning details throughout the year that we worked together and provided amazing guidance on our design decisions from invitations to napkins to lighting. She has relationships with so many wonderful vendors and helped us choose the perfect team to make our vision a reality. She was always available to answer questions or talk us through decisions, and we truly didn't have to worry about a thing on our wedding day because we knew that she and her team had all the details covered. Our wedding was absolutely perfect thanks to Jen and we couldn't recommend Lovely Event Planning highly enough!

    You need Jen to help plan your wedding!

    Jennifer Andaur was the perfect wedding coordinator! She's ultra supportive, responsive, and honest and helped us create the wedding of our dreams! She went above and beyond to help us through countless reschedulings, helpings us coordinate, and re-rcoordinate, and re-coordinate with our vendors and the venue, and gave us tremendously helpful advise and empathy through all the wedding planning uncertainty of 2020 and 2021.

    Day of the wedding went without a hitch due to Jen's expertise and overall awesomeness!! (and we have a lotttt of decorations)

    I also LOVE AislePlanner. Honestly don't know how people plan weddings without it, and if you work with Jen -- this tool is included! An absolute must.

    Run, don’t walk to hire Lovely Event!

    Working with Jen and her team at Lovely Events was the best wedding decision we made. We thought we had everything together and could plan and coordinate a wedding all on our own, but we were sure wrong! Jen kept us on track, and reminded of us tasks we would have never thought of. There are so many small details to think of, and endless things that could go amiss on your wedding day, and we felt at ease knowing the ladies at Lovely Events were there for us. From the two years leading up to our wedding to the end of the night, everything was seamless all thanks to Lovely Events. Worth every penny! We only wish we started working with Jen earlier in the process.

    Incredible planning!

    We hired Lovely Event Planning to help with our July 2021 wedding. Kristen is an amazing planner who brings all her knowledge and expertise to keep the planning process as stress free as possible. She is always available if you need anything. It was a pleasure to work with her and her team. Her guidance and advice really made our dream wedding day happen. I highly recommend her services!

We highly recommend Jen and her team at Lovely Event Planning, it was the best decision we made!

    Perfect person to lead on during wedding planning

    We had a crazy ride leading up to our June 2021 wedding and I know it would have been a lot less smooth getting to the finish line without Kristen and her team in our corner. Long story short -- after originally postponing our winter 2020 wedding to June 2021 due to the pandemic, we found out about 1.5 months before our new wedding date that our original venue was closing and we had to scramble to find a new one. Kristen was amazing and went above and beyond to help us find and lock in our new venue, make all the changes needed from one venue to the other and make us feel calm and taken care of during the process. She is as kind and warm as she is talented and business savvy and is the perfect person to have your back leading up to your wedding. If she can handle all the curve balls we had to throw at her, I'm sure she can handle anything.

    The best decision we made!

    Kristen and her team are incredible and made our wedding day pure magic! From the early planning process, to postponing our wedding and all throughout wedding day, she and her team made us feel organized, confident and relaxed. She handled all of the logistics (i.e., timelines, confirming with vendors, communication with day of transportation - you name it!) leading up to the wedding and we were so grateful for that. Kristen didn't miss a beat on wedding day and I felt like she knew what I needed before I even realized I needed it. The day was run so seamlessly and we were lucky to have her on our team. They are the absolute best!

    Best decision we made!

    We hired the Lovely Event Planning team to help with our originally planned August 2020 wedding, then the pandemic hit. Jen was so incredibly supportive and we were able to postpone and pull off the most magical day a year later in 2021. Jen was so thoughtful about every little detail and had the best recommendations in terms of vendors. She was very responsive to email and went above and beyond throughout the whole process. On the day of, the entire Lovely Team was so helpful and allowed the entire wedding party to really enjoy the day. Hiring Jen and her team was one of the best decisions we made when planning our wedding.

    Amazing experience with Jen from Lovely Events!

    Look no further - you've found the best! Jen from Lovely Events was amazing as a partial planner/day-of coordinator. Amidst the anxiety of planning and re-planning and re-planning again due to COVID, Jen was there every step of the way. She helped my husband and I flawlessly pull of the most perfect day and was a constant presence of calm and support during our entire process. We ended up having a much smaller event than originally planned, and Jen made sure every detail and every person was perfectly in place throughout the day. It was such an enjoyable experience and we did not have to worry about anything on our big day. She is a great communicator, always super responsive and available, has super creative ideas and will help you bring your vision to life! Hire this woman - she is amazing!!

    Look no further than Lovely for your planning needs!

    We weren't sold on bringing a planner onboard initially because our venue included some onsite logistical support, but explored lovely and had an initial call w. Jen which sealed the deal. Little did we know - Jen and lovely would be in our lives A LOT longer than expected as we embarked on a 2 year journey w. 2 whole replan's due to COVID. Jen was calm, prepared and professional throughout the entire, unique process. I don't think we would have ultimately had the day we did without her. She kept us on track and never made us feel stressed despite we had only hired Lovely for the day of + a few additional hours. If we weren't impressed in the lead up - the weekend of the actual wedding - Jen and her team were AMAZING. They kept everyone in check - made sure all vendors were jiving and ultimately executed our wedding day perfectly. Jen felt like a partner in our planning process - and when you pair with a vendor that is both authentic and kind - you're truly set up for success. Don't cut cost in your planning process on piece of mind - and definitely consider Lovely!!

    Lovely is the best!

    When I began wedding planning I knew I had to get a wedding planner since I was a bride planning from another state (and moving again a few months later) Jen from Lovely from the very start was exactly what I was looking for. Over the course of a year she always answered my emails promptly and took my calls when ever I wanted to chat about ideas. The two months before my wedding she put my mind at ease. She is not only super well organized but also able to fix any issue right away! My wedding venue required me to seek outside vendors for almost every aspect of the wedding (catering, rentals, officiant etc) and she handled contact with them so well I barely had to do anything the month of. She really understood the vibe of my wedding and helped me pick and design a beautiful tablescape with the rental company. The day of my wedding I was able to fully enjoy every moment knowing Jen and her assistant had everything handled. Anything that came up, boom Jen was there to take care of it. Several guests after the wedding commented on how professional and efficient she was! I am so thankful I found lovely and got to work with Jen, she is truly amazing at what she does.

    Highly Recommend!

    Working with Kristen and her team at Lovely Event Planning was the best decision we made - there were a lot of things I didn’t know about the wedding planning process and we were having our wedding at a non-traditional venue which made it a bit more complicated than usual. Kristen made sure we were comfortable at every step of the process, and understood my vision right away. Because I knew that Kristen always had my vision and style in mind I could fully rely on her to make decisions with the other vendors without worrying at all. She was communicative, warm, and did an amazing job with everything. We couldn’t have done it without her and the team!

    Kristen is the best

    Kristen Estela and her team at Lovely Event Planning are beyond amazing. We hired her for partial day-of planning for our wedding in CT, and it was easily one of the best wedding planning decisions we made. From the moment we met, Kristen truly went above and beyond. She helped us with coordinating vendors, organizing our timeline, and helped with dozens of small details that otherwise could have easily fallen through the cracks. Wedding planning can easily become stressful and overwhelming, but Kristen's expertise along with her fun and down-to-earth attitude made the process easy. Kristen is so kind and down-to-earth - each time we would speak throughout this process, I could instantly feel my stress levels decrease. She was also smart and practical about what we needed, and what we didn't need, and helped us be realistic and stick to our budget. By the time of our wedding, it felt like Kristen was an old friend. We couldn't have done it without her, and I recommend her with zero hesitations and endless enthusiasm! Kristen is the best.
