Five-Star Review

I was very equivocal about the need for a wedding planner at the beginning of our journey as we had the venue selected when the topic came up.  I acquiesced, and never regrated that as time marched on.  Jennifer and her team assisted my daughter to turn her vision into reality. She was responsive, helped us stay within the budget and handled all the invisible but necessary paperwork and scheduling.  She even provided welcome and needed suggestions on how best to arrange the wedding party to make up for an uneven amount of bridesmaids to grooms men.   The greatest benefit to me, however, was that when rehearsal and the wedding rolled around, I was able to enjoy every minute of it.  I got to enjoy the entire day, from morning hair and glam with my daughter and the bridesmaids, to enjoying the wedding, transitioning to cocktail hour and finally heading to the area for dinner, without ever having to worry if the chairs were right, the flowers were delivered, the bars were set up and the caterer arrived.  Not only did my daughter experience the wedding she had envisioned, so did I!  I can and do unequivocally endorse and recommend Jennifer and her team at Laurel Street Events for your next event.

Five-Star Review

Working with Jennifer and her team was an absolute dream! From the very beginning, she was by my side for every step of the wedding planning process, from booking vendors to designing every detail of my vision with impeccable style. Jennifer is a true professional, with an incredible eye for detail and an innate sense of style that brought my dreams to life. She was lovely to work with—supportive, caring, and always ready to go the extra mile to make my day perfect.

Her team, Meghan and Krystal, were equally amazing. They ensured every detail went according to plan, making the entire experience smooth and stress-free. I couldn’t have asked for a more dedicated, talented, and supportive group of people to help me on my wedding day. Thanks to Jennifer and her team, my wedding was far more perfect than I could have ever imagined. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to make their day truly unforgettable!

Caitlin and Kory

Jennifer was an absolute dream to work with throughout my wedding process. Despite her being a partial planner, I felt like she was on top of everything and with me every step of the way to keep me on track for my wedding. We spoke once a week for about a year up to my wedding and it was apparent how much she cared about my special day and all that goes into it. She was able to bring my wedding vision and aesthetic to life in a way that I could not have imagined. Everything was so perfect and she is just so helpful and brilliant about this stuff! Between her and my day-of planner, my wedding was so smooth to the point that I felt like a guest!!! I didn't have to think about timeline, logistics, food, decor, anything as LSE had it all done for me. One of the best things I did and the thing that was most worth the money was hiring Jennifer as my wedding planner!!

Kiersten and Brian

We loved working with Jennifer and the LSE team! We found the wedding planning process to be quite overwhelming, but Jennifer helped guide us and quell our fears every step of the way. I appreciated Jennifer's expertise in the industry and her ability to navigate our very Type A personalities and indecisive tendencies. She also fully understood our colorful wedding vision and made it come to life in a relatively new wedding venue. Our wedding was absolutely perfect - everything was exactly what we wanted! Jennifer and her team were there behind the scenes making sure all logistics went smoothly too. We love LSE and highly recommend them for your big day too!

Alex and Tarik

Where do we begin? We sincerely have NEVER worked with a team that is so incredible at what they do. From start to finish we knew we could trust their impeccable guidance, talents, and taste and we are so grateful to Jennifer and the entire LSE team for bringing our biggest dream to life. 

As a bride, the time leading up to your special day can be very overwhelming, but Jennifer and her team showed constant support throughout the process and always had our backs and it is a kindness I will never forget. They knew what vendors we would click with, anticipated our every need, and did it with a passion for what they do every step of the way. 

They are a once in a lifetime staff for a once in a lifetime experience. Thank you from the bottom of our very full hearts LSE team!

Kasey and David

Five stars is simply not enough to express our gratitude for our incredible wedding coordinator, Jennifer! From the moment we began working with her, we were blown away by her professionalism and dedication. Her sense of urgency was unmatched, ensuring every detail was perfect and nothing was overlooked. On the day of our wedding, Jennifer and Meghan were an absolute dream team! The support and presence was invaluable, allowing us to fully enjoy every moment without a worry in the world. She was an absolute lifesaver throughout the entire process. 

The best part? Our family couldn't stop raving about her the day after the wedding! They were just as impressed by her attention to detail, organization, and the flawless execution of the entire event. If you want a wedding planner who goes above and beyond, you’ve found the perfect wedding planner. I would recommend LSE to any/all of my closest friends and family. We are forever grateful to her for making our special day truly unforgettable!

Vanessa and Zubin

I'm so glad we enlisted Jennifer's help to plan and partially style our wedding. Our wedding day, the hall, and the vision came together so beautifully; it was everything I had asked for and more. From our initial conversation to execution on the day of the reception, Jennifer's expertise guided the way. She heard my desire for a unique, romantic, and elevated design that gave a nod to my cultural background, and she delivered. She understood exactly what I had imagined, and she gave me suggestions for ways to tweak it while also staying within my budget. In addition to putting me in touch with amazing vendors, Jennifer also listened and followed through whenever I expressed a need to go in a different direction. She was so gracious in the days leading up to the wedding and was so easy to communicate with on the day of the wedding. We are so pleased with how everything turned out. A few of our guests later told us that it was the most thoughtfully designed wedding they had attended, noting how my personal taste shined through beautifully. I find myself looking at our wedding photos on a weekly basis, trying to relive and soak up all the beautiful, individual elements of that day.

Reem and Mohammed

Jennifer helped us create a day that we will cherish forever! Planning a wedding is a lot of work and she helped every step of the way. We wanted to have an intimate wedding and reception but still make it feel stylish and luxurious, without a lofty budget. After talking through the vision and creating a mood board, she helped us source amazing vendors and design elements that helped bring that vision to life. Our friends raved about those velvet linens! Not only did she help us style a beautiful event but she put together our timeline and kept everything on schedule with her team. We were in 3 different locations between the hotel, the courthouse and the restaurant for our reception and everything went as smoothly as possible. Our wedding turned out even better than we could have imagined and we appreciate everything Jennifer and her team did to help us get there! Hiring LSE for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made! 

Brigitte and Matt

Jennifer made my day exactly how we envisioned it. We still look at pictures every day beaming over this day! She made it so special and was always there to support anything we needed. From every phone call, meeting, and text, she did not miss any details and elevated our whole experience. She is absolutely amazing! Thanks to her my day was beautiful, ran smoothly, and she provided an unforgettable experience for all our guests. ALSO her day of help, Emma, was one of the best people I have ever met! She was with me every moment on the wedding day and helped make sure everything was perfect! Together, they were an amazing team and we cannot imagine my day without the both of them!

Taylor and Sean

We hired Jennifer from LSE to help us in planning our wedding, and wow, are we glad we did! Her exquisite and sophisticated taste elevated every aspect of our special day. She has such a great sense of style and an eye for design, she transformed our vision into reality.

From the very beginning, she was dedicated, going above and beyond to ensure that every detail surpassed our expectations. Her commitment to us throughout the process and the result of what eventually became our wedding day was nothing short of perfection.

Throughout the entire planning process, she was flexible and open to communication, always willing to meet with us and address any concerns or changes. Her professionalism and warmth made her not only an invaluable partner but also a cherished friend afterwards.

Thanks to her our wedding day was more beautiful and memorable than we ever could have imagined. We are forever grateful for her expertise, her friendship, and the unforgettable experience she provided. We couldn’t have asked for a better journey and would recommend her with flying colors.

Angela and Joseph

We owe everything to Jennifer! I cannot imagine planning our wedding without her. She was there with us every step of the way, from managing vendors, to creating a stunning space in our Downtown venue. She was always very prompt in responding to emails and texts — and, I messaged her a lot! She was so positive and put every doubt to rest through out the whole process. She interpreted my ideas better than I could have myself, and she brought my dream wedding to life. I had a pretty good vision in my head of what the venue would look like on our wedding day, but I was completely taken aback by how incredible it turned out in real life. The wedding went smoothly, and my husband and I didn’t have to worry about a single thing. She and her assistants worked so hard and made sure the wedding ran without a hitch. We wouldn’t have done a single thing differently, and we absolutely owe that to Laurel Street Events.

Kacie and TJ

We met Jennifer through our venue, Sandbox, where she works often and has (rightfully) earned the respect and recommendation of the management. I wasn't sure we needed a planner because we had a strong vision for the wedding and enjoy planning things, but we knew we would like to hire a day-of coordinator. Since we were planning the wedding from out of town, we figured it would be useful to have someone nearby too, so we hired Jennifer to help us plan and to coordinate. We didn't know it at the time, but that was one of the best early wedding planning decisions we could have made! Jennifer is a true professional and wedding expert. She helped us bring our vision to life, managed crises big and small (and there were plenty, as our wedding took place right before the pandemic shutdowns began), and ensured that our event was exactly what we wanted it to be. Our reception was so beautiful, our guests had a wonderful time, and surprisingly, we enjoyed it too! We could relax and be present knowing that Jennifer and her amazing team had us covered, from long before our wedding until the moment everything was picked up. If you're looking for a planner, call LSE. If you're not sure if you need a planner, call LSE.

Joel and Jasmine

Jennifer Hughes is not just a wedding planner. She is a genuine wedding architect who worked with us from start to finish, designing the perfect experience based on our tastes. She does more than coordinate - she makes things happen.

Any time there was a wrinkle in communications with a vendor or a sticky task I was hoping to put off rather than deal with, Jennifer stepped in and handled it - smoothly, efficiently and professionally.

We debated between opting for day of services versus full coordination and I'm so glad we went with the full package. The true value of a service like that can be hard to appreciate before you have a wedding -- but it was more than worth it for us: a long-distance couple planning a 'destination' wedding in a city neither of us lived in, for 120+ guests. She easily mounted those time zone problems and kept us frequently updated and on task with emails and calls: all culminating in the most beautiful event I've ever been part of.

Her eye for design and for executing our vision was impeccable, and her attention to detail meant I was stress-free on the day of the wedding because her team ensured we had everything we needed all night long.

Our friends and family are still raving about what a fantastic time they had - and what more could we ask for?

Malika and Antar

From the first call that we had with Jennifer to the end of our wedding, Jennifer was simply incredible. She has an amazing eye for design and listens carefully to the vision of your day. We honestly could not have had such an incredible day without her. Jennifer provides really great insights into how to manage the day of your wedding from set up, timelines as well as connections to vendors. Her smile lights up any room and her warm and caring personality ensures that you will feel relaxed and simply so excited to marry your partner. I think what really did it for me was Jennifer’s eye for design, her artistry and suggestions when it came to color palettes and decor. She is incredibly responsive and loves to meet in person, on calls and via any other communication method you can think of.

Don't look anywhere else....choose Laurel Street Events and Jennifer. She's simply the best. Hopefully one day we can repay her for all the work she did for us on our wedding day.

Sophie and Scott

Jennifer was everything we needed in a planner. We hired her to do everything - design, plan, manage our vendors, and she also helped us manage our budget! We couldn't marry in the location we desired, so we showed her the website of the location in Cabo and told her what details were important to us - and she executed it beautifully. One of the best things about our wedding planning experience was that Christian and I were able to put the majority of our focuses on key details that only we could control and manage, thanks to her support. Her communication was consistent (and quick!) and we appreciated how she sourced vendors that not only provided what we were looking for, but who were also the best for our budget. She helped us save money without sacrificing quality. If we found vendors on our own, Jennifer took the reigns on the communication and I found her follow-up reassuring.

On the day of our wedding, I expected to receive texts, emails, or phone calls - but no! Jennifer had everything under control despite having to deal with 90% of our 200-person guest list traveling to San Diego, dealing with parking in downtown, having 14+ vendors, and much, much more! She put our minds at ease and we were able to prepare with our families and friends without distractions. She created a Cabo-inspired oasis in an open, downtown venue and although we had an idea of what the room would look like, when I walked in to meet Christian, I was in shock of what I saw because the decor and the details she added to the room were beyond our expectations! Christian and I were at ease before, during, and after the wedding and I received so many compliments about how beautiful the venue looked for the ceremony and dinner and how fun cocktail hour was. A couple of our engaged friends asked me for her information because they were so impressed by her and how flawless our wedding was. We continue to receive compliments about our wedding, and Jennifer is to thank for creating an amazing ambiance not only for us, but for our guests. We are forever grateful to Jennifer for making this day so memorable for us and our families.

Nikole and Christian

From our very first conversation, Jennifer immediately put me at ease and I knew I was in good hands. I even went as far as telling her that I love her after that initial phone call. Every worry or concern that I had about my wedding, Jennifer was there to help me through it. She has such a great eye and was a joy to work with! My husband and I had so much fun at our wedding because we didn’t have to worry about anything. Jennifer was there to guide us through every step and checked in on us throughout the whole night. Every detail was executed perfectly! Do yourself a favor and book with Laurel Street Events.

Rachael and Casey

Hiring Jennifer as my wedding planner and designer was easily the best choice I made for the entire event. Not only is she so easy to work with, she has amazing taste and is an incredibly talented designer. She took my dream idea of a tropical Balinese wedding and completely knocked it out of the park, coming up with so many gorgeous ideas down to the very last detail. I can honestly say that my wedding was the most beautiful wedding I’ve ever seen and I owe it all to Jennifer. I’ll never forget driving up to the venue and literally crying when I saw how beautiful it was! In addition to Jennifer’s amazing eye for design, she has the best network of vendors and I could not have been happier with everyone she recommended. But what I appreciated most was how she relieved me of so much stress throughout the entire wedding planning process. Everyone says planning a wedding is so stressful but that was not the experience I had because I knew I could count on Jennifer. She handled everything, especially in the month and weeks leading up to my wedding. She made sure everything ran smoothly on the big day, and I could not have been a happier bride. Above all, Jennifer is an amazing person and I loved talking/texting/emailing with her everyday. She seemed genuinely excited about my wedding and making it perfect — it felt like I was working with a trusted friend. I highly recommend Jennifer. Everything she touches is pure gold!

Shannon and Michael

I could not have found Laurel Street Events at a better time. I was introduced to Jennifer and her team from one of the vendors attending the event I was working on and we immediately hit it off. She was able to keep up with east coast pace and within a 15-minute phone call she got a hold of my vision and just ran with it. With the experience she had working at Sandbox Venue, I was comfortable letting her run with the design and trusted her that it would all come together…and man did it ever. We were able to blend my ideas and her creativity and design skills to put on the event of my dreams. I could not have done it without Laurel Street Events and would highly recommend LSE to anyone!

Keara McCullough

Working with Laurel Street Events was such a blessing! Having Jennifer on my side to organize everything from the opposite coast and reassure me at all times was the greatest stress relief. She is diligent, creative, and really understood the vision we had in mind for our elopement. She created multiple “scenes” for our photo session, surprising us with the excellence in execution, and we are beyond pleased. I wouldn’t have wanted it any other way!

Hannah and Henry

We found Laurel Street Events on Instagram and we hired Jennifer after our first consultation. In Southern California, things move fast. Jennifer, having been an expert events planner in New York City for over 10 years, is a gazelle. Her work and eloquent style speak for themselves, so I’ll speak about her attitude for the remainder of this review. Jennifer is a “yes-we-can” kind of person, the one you need when planning an event such as a wedding that will only happen once in your life. Her tenacious spirit and hunger for success make her not only a great person to do business with, but a great role model for other women (and men) in business. I can’t say enough great things about her flexibility, willingness to address your individual needs, and eagerness to over-deliver. Just when you think things are perfect, Jennifer comes in to light the last candle and send you towards your dream wedding. Jennifer, thank you so much for creating and sharing your vision with us!
