    So helpful!

    We had a great experience with Jenelle as our planner! Our venue did not provide much of anything and therefore we had to find vendors and bring decor/rentals in ourselves. Jenelle worked with us throughout the year leading up to our big day and kept us on track. She helped recommend local vendors and kept us calm throughout the process. An affordable planner that is worth it! We highly recommend Jenelle :)

    Great experience

    Jenelle was a great help throughout my entire wedding planning process! I had no stress on my wedding day and everything was set perfectly. She understood my vision and had great suggestions. I would recommend Merry Up events to anyone looking for a planner

    Thanks Tera and Chris! I enjoyed the process and the wedding day with you both :) You guys are awesome and I loved that you brought your doggie along too. Cheers!

    We had an excellent experience with Merry Up Events. Jenelle was invaluable.

    My daughter and her fiancé brought Jenelle into the planning process just a few weeks before the ceremony. She made a huge and positive difference in how the wedding day went. We could not have been happier with her.

    Merry Up Events's reply:

    Thank you! Dave and Katie, you were a joy to work with. Thanks for trusting me with your daughter’s wedding details.

    I couldn't have better things to say about working with Jenelle

    .Throughout the planning process, Jenelle was attentive, organized and resourceful. Jenelle helped to alleviate any additional stress leading up to the wedding by providing helpful tips and resources that kept me and my husband on track for our big day. She took the reins on our rehearsal day and made sure all of our attendants knew exactly what they were doing. On our wedding day, I knew I had absolutely nothing to stress about because Jenelle was on it. Every little detail, every step of the way. I couldn't have asked for a better planner, and am so grateful that we picked Jenelle to help us throughout our wedding planning. I would recommend Jenelle and her team to absolutely anyone!

    Merry Up Events's reply:

    Thank you for the kind words! It was so fun working with you and I loved the black and white classic looks. Thanks for all the meetings and trusting me so much! Cheers!

    Do yourself a favor and hire Jenelle!

    In the final weeks before my wedding, I was at my wit's end with the "planner" my venue provided and finally decided to seek some assistance from a true professional. Hiring Jenelle was the best possible decision we made throughout the planning process, and my only regret was that we didn't do it sooner.

    Jenelle is organized, responsive, and a wonderful advocate for any couple. It is clear that she understands and appreciates how important a wedding day is to a couple and their families, and she moved mountains to take over some of the most stressful and challenging parts of working with our venue. It's also clear that she has a genuine passion for this work...never once did I feel like we were bothering her or putting her out. Overall, Jenelle was a consummate professional and a joy to work with. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND HIRE HER RIGHT NOW -- YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT.

    Merry Up Events's reply:

    Thank you for the kind words Maddie! I loved all the velvet and carpets and creative touches. A beautiful fall wedding for you and Pat!

    Creative and amazing event planner

    Jenelle is seriously amazing. I postponed my 2020 wedding to 2021. I had most planning done, but was still overwhelmed since my wedding was 5 hours away from where I lived. I hired Jenelle about 6 months before my wedding to help with all the little details and to keep me on track. We talked every month and she was really helpful with keeping me on track and giving me some ideas that fit with my theme. She was truly amazing the week of and day of my wedding. All my decorations and vision came to life and were perfect. I especially loved her creativeness with my champagne wall/escort cards! She is the best, hire her!!!

    Merry Up Events's reply:

    Thanks so much Catie! It was really fun working with you and Tom. I loved your style and it really was such a pleasure :)

    Best Vendor Decision Ever!

    Jenelle seriously knocked it out of the park. Without her help I have no clue how our wedding would’ve all worked out. The week leading up to my wedding I was so much more stress free than I expected because Jenelle was already coordinating with all of my other vendors and taking care of things for me. She was a total life saver and made our day go exactly as we wanted. It was better than we could have imagined. She went totally above and beyond and was nothing but helpful and responsive the whole time. Thank you Jenelle!!

    Merry Up Events's reply:

    Thank you Brianna! It was so great working with you, Ryan, and your family on such a special day. I know this one was a long time coming with bumps in the road for you. But it all turned out so beautiful and touching. I for sure had tears throughout the day. Thanks for trusting me and my team, it was lovely!

    Incredibly helpful and encouraging!

    Jenelle was amazing! Planning a wedding during Covid was becoming so overwhelming, so we reached out to Merry Up for day-of coordinating services. I feel like “day-of” does not accurately express how much help Jenelle gave us leading up to the event! It was so great to be able to text her anytime and she checked in often to see how she could help/how everything was going. This was especially helpful because COVID restrictions and cases kept growing as my wedding date got closer, and many adjustments had to be made. It was helpful to have Jenelle to talk things out with and she never seemed overwhelmed with the changes (like I was, haha!). In addition to that she was so encouraging and reassuring along the way. Not every vendor has that skill, which can feel discouraging from a bride perspective, so it was really wonderful to have that from Jenelle! On the day of the wedding I did not have to worry about a thing, and it was such a special day because I knew everything was taken care of! Additionally we took advantage of Merry Up’s decor inventory which added special touches all around the ceremony and reception spaces. Thank you, thank you, thank you for making our day so special! We wouldn’t have changed a thing.

    Merry Up Events's reply:

    Thank you so much Grace! You and Sam had a gorgeous and meaningful fall wedding. I was so glad to be a part of it! Your family and friends loved and celebrated you both well. I loved the surprise video and song too💗 It was an honor. Thank you for the kind words. You were shinning that whole day! - Jenelle

    Amazing Event Planner that provides invaluable day of experience!

    Hiring Jenelle and her team at Merry Up Events was the best thing we ever did. With Covid we had to postpone our big wedding and reception to 2021 and quickly shifted gears to have a backyard wedding in my parents yard on our original date. Once I started re planning everything I realized I was in desperate need of someone to help keep the day running smoothly so I found Merry Up Events and from the first conversation I knew I was in good hands. She was available for all of my questions and helped me brainstorm centerpieces- even going so far as to find and pick up 15 pineapples before the wedding so they were fresh. She also had a collection of decorations we were able to borrow including table numbers and flowers for the centerpieces. She had wonderful recommendations including a great videographer she knew of and all sorts of tricks and tips for the day. The actual day of Jenelle and her team were invaluable. They arrived at the house in the morning and worked so hard in the rain and mud to have everything set up and ready to go including our beautiful centerpieces and head table. She coordinated with our vendors beforehand and the day of so we were able to focus on getting ready and didn't have to be running around talking to all of the vendors. The rain made us change plans to get married under our tent instead of in the yard and Jenelle and her team made sure the appropriate tables were moved last minute. They really worked incredibly hard. It was also nice to have them running the show and letting us know when it was go time and coordinating the ceremony etc. Jenelle also made sure to check in with us and always made sure we had what we needed. I truly cannot thank Merry Up Events enough for making our day run as smoothly as possible. We could not have done it without them. Caitie and Joe

    Stress free wedding!

    Jenelle helped us with not only day of coordination but also handled some of the wedding planning for our vendors. Having Jenelle as our coordinator allowed us to just sit back and enjoy our wedding. In fact, just days before the wedding my fiancé looked at me and asked if we were missing anything, because that’s how much Jenelle took off our plate. Jenelle made everything go so smoothly and handled last minute changes with ease.

    Merry Up Events's reply:

    Thank you Katie! I really enjoyed working with you and Troy. I love that your wedding was at a Museum. Your guests seemed to really have a good time! Such a unique idea. Congrats again!!!!

    The absolute BEST!

    I could not have asked for anything better in a planner! Jenelle brought every single one of my ideas to life and made sure absolutely everything was perfect.

    Our wedding was at a nature lodge on a hill, literally everything DIY, with the ceremony being on top of a hill. Jenelle hired calligraphers to create upwards of 30 signs to make sure everyone knew where to go. On top of that, she was able to offer her decorating services to "fill in the blanks" if you will everything that I hadn't thought of and I AM SO GLAD that we went with this option, there wasn't a single table or space that she didn't think of! She had schedules, contact lists, and maintained constant communication with myself, the vendors, and my wedding party as necessary which made my time leading up to the wedding and the day of the wedding stress free! I am SO thankful that she was a part of our day and couldn't have imagined our day without her!

    If you want or need a planner who takes all of your worries away, gives you peace of mind, and ensures that the entire process is enjoyable from start to finish, give Jenelle a call!

    Merry Up Events's reply:

    Thank you Christine! This is so sweet of you. I really loved working with you and all your ideas. Your vision for your wedding was so awesome. It was so great seeing it all come together at the Nature Center. Just beautiful and such a natural setting!

    Thanks again,
    Jenelle

    My experience with Merry Up was the absolute best! I felt so comfortable knowing I had the experience and support of this team. Prior to our wedding, I met with the Merry Up team a number of times and they helped give me goals to accomplish and brainstorm the important things that needed to be brought up earlier on. Jenelle did an incredible job the day of our wedding and I could not have asked for a better day! You will not be disappointed by the quality service you receive.
