Jutta is absolutely the BEST!! We couldn't have asked for a more wonderful experience working with her for our garden party. From the very beginning, she asked the right questions, listened carefully and was very collaborative in the planning process. The vision came together beautifully--elegant without feeling overdone, and perfectly suited to the setting. Our guests commented about how lovely everything felt--from the atmosphere, the flow of the event, the food, the flowers, the linens, the musics and all the many small, personal touches that made the event feel special and welcoming. We are so grateful for Jutta's expertise and dedication. She made our garden party an amazing memorable occasion. We would wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone looking to create a truly special party/event. read more

Over the last ten years, my team and I have been lucky enough to work closely with Jutta and her team. The amount of knowledge and skills we've acquired from our collaboration is priceless. Their consistent delivery of top-notch results in a friendly manner has really helped us grow. We wholeheartedly recommend this amazing team without any doubt. Wowpretty Team! read more

Our wedding was as close to perfect as one can get thanks to Jutta's help, guidance and attention to details. Everything she suggested was either great, outstanding or excellent. Jutta recommended vendors from music to photos to makeup to flowers - - each of whom did a wonderful job. She gently and persistently kept us on track. Jutta really listened to what we were looking for and then made it even better. We wanted a simple, elegant wedding and she talked us through all of it for a very memorable event. Our wedding day was stress-free. read more

Jutta was my ROCK...the rock to the entire wedding celebration preparations and smooth execution! I could not have planned and executed our wedding celebration without Jutta's organized, thoughtful, and honest support! Due to COVID-19, we had to delay our wedding celebrations and hold an event after we got married during the pandemic. Jutta supported us for two years! She and her team not only made the planning easier, but the day was SO SMOOTH! She truly believes in giving brides (and couples) the best wedding day possible and she delivers! My husband and I are forever grateful for her and her team's support! I cannot thank Jutta and her team enough. I am a Type A person and need things in my control. But I was so confident and comfortable with Jutta taking charge that day because we went over everything we wanted and she delivered. We also had so many last minute changes and all Jutta would say is "No problem" or "Whatever the bride and groom wants, they get" (within reason of course :P). A Day Like No Other is worth every penny if not more! You will NOT REGRET working with Jutta and her team!! read more

We hired Jutta as our month-of planner for our wedding in September 2024. She was helpful in finalizing our wedding schedule and very responsive to our emails, but her style of execution didn't allow for us to relax and trust that our wedding day could have the best outcome. 1. We had a photoshoot before the ceremony began, so Jutta was responsible for overseeing venue and vendor setup. We asked several times during the photoshoot if things were going as planned, to which she confirmed yes. We did a final check of the venue 15-20 minutes before the wedding began, and found that the DJ had not begun setting up the DJ station despite being supposed to play when as guests arrive. She had also instructed the venue staff to place the water station in the wrong place, a location that was several iterations ago in the venue diagram. Some of our decorations still had labels on them that needed to be removed. It would have been ideal for Jutta to have been on top of these details rather than us catching them ourselves. 2. Shortly after arrival, when the venue setup was still in a fairly hectic stage, Jutta alerted my wedding party, the groom, and I that her bag was missing. Even though her work materials may have been inside, it was an extra stressor during a particularly hectic period when we were about to get into our photoshoot and trying to make sure the venue had progressed enough to do so. Given where the bag ultimately was found, we felt Jutta could have simply made do with a second look around herself rather than alerting all of us and having us look for it. 3. Jutta was tasked for help cue DJ announcements and music throughout the wedding. We had crafted a timeline with her, which also included what needed to be played/said and when. At the start of the ceremony, I was thrown off guard when the DJ was playing the wrong music at a time where he should not have been playing. We asked her to ask the DJ to stop the music, but the music wouldn't stop. It was her job to signal the officiant once the wedding party was ready, but she didn't, so the officiant literally had to walk down the aisle and back to make sure we were ready. My wedding party ended up walking down the aisle to the wrong music, and I was so stressed out seconds before my processional, in case my music and timing was wrong. This was not how a bride wants to feel for the wedding ceremony. 4. During dinner, Jutta confirmed with us if we wanted continuous serving, to which we confirmed yes. But the kitchen staff still didn't seem to be executing with those instructions. We understand if the staff assumed that they would stop service while we were visiting each table. However, given how many times we emphasized keeping dinner timeline tight based on Jutta's feedback on our timeline, we hoped that Jutta would direct serving staff to go serve tables we were not visiting, or just confirm with us if we want to continue service still. This didn't happen and we started to run behind, creating pressure on the kitchen and servers for the rest of dinner. This led to the groom and I having to go multiple times into the kitchen to try and expedite things. Seeing this, one of our guests even offered to take this one herself when Jutta should have seen this and been the one to direct kitchen, take coffee orders from tables, etc. All and all, we still call our wedding a success, but we wish it could have been this way without us needing to step in to do a lot of the coordination. The role of a coordinator is to relieve some of this burden from the couple, but we don't think we got enough of this from Jutta. Her approach was let the vendors do their job, whereas we wanted someone who was more proactive in making sure things were getting done. Throughout all of our interactions, she had enough evidence of our hands on working style and personality, and think she should have adjusted her approach to what would have been better received by us. Instead, she kept us reiterating how things may not go as planned and we should be ready for that outcome. If you're a Bay Area professional, especially one familiar with project management / coordination, who is looking for a planner who can relieve some burden of your wedding day, and actively act as your voice and hands, I would go with someone else. read more

Jutta has been instrumental in helping to plan our event and has kept us on task throughout the preparation process! Her communication is prompt, and she provides her professional knowledge in event planning. We definitely recommend her! read more

Jutta was our full-time wedding planner and did a beautiful job. In the months leading up to our wedding, my husband and I literally had no idea what we were doing. She held our hand through everything, was very clear about what we needed to do and when, and made straightforward recommendations. She was EXTREMELY professional and responsive. Two nights before our wedding, for example, we emailed her with a question about a communication to our guests, and even though she was at another wedding she responded within a few hours. On the day of, she worked beautifully with our other vendors and protected us from all the craziness that was going on behind the scenes. Because of Jutta, our wedding was beyond beautiful. The only thing we regret is not being able to do table visits, but that's because our toasts ran behind schedule. One last (but very important!) thing: don't let Jutta's no-nonsense manner fool you, she is a very sweet and caring lady. During our dinner, she brought us a framed photo of us doing our vows that she had decorated with three little cats. Not sure how she pulled that off, but she made our cats a part of the wedding! She also brought me a white shawl to cover my arms, since it was getting chilly. We love Jutta! read more

Jutta has worked with us tirelessly since 2019 (through two COVID postponements) to make our dream wedding at Nestldown a reality. From the very beginning, we wanted a detail-oriented planner that would help keep us on track and Jutta did that and much more. She provided the majority of the referrals for vendors we ended up working with for our wedding day and helped us think through both logistical and design aspects of our wedding that we would have never considered without her guidance. Throughout the planning process, Jutta would check in with us to ensure our planning was on track and we constantly referred to her extremely detailed wedding timeline to help inform our decisions. On our actual wedding day, we were able to completely let go of any logistical worries and enjoy ourselves. If anything went wrong the day of, we certainly never heard about it and we're confident that Jutta and her team handled our day expertly. We can't recommend working with Jutta and her team enough! read more

Jutta and her team were absolutely amazing! We brought them very last minute and they quickly jumped on everything and made sure our day went extremely smoothly. They were responsive, reliable, patient and just really on top of every single thing. THANK YOU SO MUCH JUTTA AND TEAM! We're forever grateful for your work read more

Jutta was truly outstanding in organizing our wedding! From the moment we contacted Jutta about 8 months before the day through the day after the ceremony, Jutta was guided us through the entire process: picking vendors, taking care of paperwork, suggesting and refining ideas, making sure everything is on schedule and smooth. Because of her our wedding was truly beautiful! Most importantly, she allowed me and my husband to relax on the wedding day and enjoy the moment by making sure everything goes super smooth! I would recommend Jutta very highly - she's a real PRO and we loved working with her! read more

We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Jutta as our full-time wedding planner and she's definitely the major reason our wedding ceremony came to life! We're a busy couple living in the Bay Area - Jutta took us through the whole business of planning the wedding and made it feel like a breathe. From the moment we contacted her ~8 months before the date (we only had a venue secured) through the day after the wedding, she was truly a lifesaver. Her organization skills, communication and responsiveness are truly outstanding. She'd send us reminders in case something required our attention and whatever question or request we had - would always respond within minutes even to late-night emails. Jutta took on majority of coordination with vendors - from advising on picking the vendors, to handling all of coordination details and making sure the week of and the day of runs super smoothly. My wife really likes the French country style and Jutta went to incredible lengths to arrange the table decor to be just perfect! She also helped to guide and suggest possible ideas in the areas of the planning we were unsure of. Jutta took care of every single details - from finding a vintage typewriter and bike for decor to hand-crafting the signs herself. On the day of, Jutta and her amazing assistants made sure that the entire day proceeded smoothly according to pre-planned (5mins intervals!) timeline. We could fully enjoy the moment knowing that Jutta takes care of all details. She stayed all the way through the night and made sure that gifts, flowers and other details will be taken care of. Besides outstanding professionalism, Jutta is wonderfully calm and caring person with a keen sense of humor. If you want your wedding day to be truly outstanding - you can't go wrong with A Day Like No Other. Thank you, Jutta! read more

Where to start?!? The whole Day Like No Other staff are extremely friendly yet, forward enough to deal with the high stress of planning a wedding. It was the most important day of our lives and they made sure to make us feel such. Furthermore, they shield us from the stress and anxiety of dealing with vendors, decor, etc. The planning was a breeze! They were very organized, kept detailed journals and to-do lists with deadlines, allowing us to work as a team to plan our event. They were so knowledgeble about every detail, and even brought to light things we didn't even think of. Lastly, they are extremely connected within the community. They have a Rolodex of the top vendors in the industry. It doesn't matter if your budget is small or huge, they will search within their network to meet your needs. But if they don't have the connection, Jutta and team will do the endless research to approve a vendor to make sure they meet your standards. Jutta and her staff come highly recommended. We searched for months for the right venue and event planning company and would be as bold as to say, Day Liks No Other is the best event planning agency in the Bay Area. read more

Keep calm and let Jutta handle it! Jutta was invaluable to us from day dot. Trying to plan a California wedding from Australia has so many challenges (just in timezone differences alone), but Jutta helped to guide us all along the way to make our day seamless. She has fostered such great relationships with California vendors and was able to suggest the perfect fit for all of our needs. What's more, not only does she offer fantastic suggestions, she actually listens and is able to translate your vision to a beautiful outcome. To anyone getting married, just know things that are out of your control do and will happen around your wedding (it's the sign of a good marriage;). Knowing that, you want someone like Jutta to help put out the fires. I sliced off a portion of my thumb and ended up in the ER the night before we flew out to California. Jutta worked with our photographer to ensure it didn't show up too much in the photos and she even came prepared with few different styles of gloves in case I wanted to take extra "hiding" precaution. My now husband is a total control freak, and even HE was put at ease and trusted Jutta to execute the day-- which she did perfectly! We can't recommend her enough!! read more

I've worked with Jutta at least 4 times before. She's always so friendly and organized. I really appreciate her calm demeanor. She calmly handles busy wedding days with with grace and poise. Some planners have a sense of panic when something doesn't go exactly as planned. Not Jutta. She is clearly experienced and ready for anything. I would recommend her in a heart beat! read more

We started working with Jutta in January 2018 for our September 2018 wedding. Not knowing where to start, Jutta made our wedding planning journey a lot more manageable. We found her at a time when we were struggling to find the right venue. We wanted a venue that was both easily accessible and had access to nature. We wanted something modern and elegant, with great views. We also had a budget that we were determined to stick to. Jutta ended up finding us the perfect venue: modern, classic, with views that we got compliments on the entire night. Jutta was there with us every step of the way for nine months, from helping arrange our detailed schedule, to helping choose my dress and my bridesmaids' dresses, to recommending our florist, DJ, and make up artist. Jutta is always extremely detail oriented, and gave us insights into things we didn't even think of, such as how to fold the table name cards to ensure they don't fall flat during the reception. She was also able to accommodate last minute emergencies, such as helping my husband sew on a button that had fallen after our ceremony. Jutta is always super responsive and very professional. I had full trust that come wedding day, she would make sure it would go off without a hitch. She has a range of experiences with many different types of weddings, and we fully recommend her. Thank you Jutta for helping with our big day! We truly could not have done it without you. read more

We first reached out to Jutta almost 10 months ago for our August wedding, after having already selected Thomas Fogarty Winery our venue and booked our caterer. We had our initial Skype consultation with her and immediately knew that we wanted her as our wedding coordinator. We selected her Partial Planning and Design package, and she did an absolutely amazing job. She was prompt with emails and almost always replied to us within a couple of hours (we don't know how she does it!). Having worked with Fogarty many times and experienced in the wedding-planning industry, she was knowledgeable about our venue and provided excellent vendor recommendations including DJ, ceremony musician, florist, desert, and makeup artist, all of whom are a pleasure to work with. She also has great taste for design/aesthetics and helped us immensely with many small details on the wedding day that we were too overwhelmed to deal with (like name cards). She made fantastic suggestions for several aspects of the wedding, many of which we have not even thought of or knew that we should think about. She was proactive in reaching out to us and making sure that we checked off things that we need to do especially in the 2-3 months leading up to our wedding. Both of us are working long hours and clocking in 70-80 hours per week at work, but the tasks that Jutta gave us were manageable even with our schedule. She was methodical, flexible, and all around a great person to work with. She listened to us and our wishes (some of which were quite unconventional) and made it happen. On our wedding day, Jutta and her assistants (Melinda and Stephanie) really came through and worked seamlessly with our other vendors to ensure that the wedding proceeded smoothly. She constructed a day of timeline that was reasonable and easy to follow; we did not feel rushed at any point during our wedding day. We were able to spend our time mingling with our guests and enjoy our wedding day worry-free. Overall, we are very happy with Jutta and we would highly recommend her to anyone! read more

Jutta, is a total pro! She was responsible for making our wedding truly magical and a day like no other!! She was so incredibly patient with our rapid new ideas and constant change of plans and accommodated our every request. She also has THE best wedding ideas which helped us a lot! She even stayed to the very end and helped with everything. Don't hesitate, she is truly the best! We honestly couldn't be happier!! Thank you so much Jutta! read more

Our situation was rather unusual, although not unique. We had planned on doing our wedding in August, but one of my family members' health took a turn for the worst, so we decided to move up our wedding to last week so that the family member could enjoy our wedding in good health. When I first emailed Jutta explaining the situation, I expected at most that she would be able to arrange a small court ceremony for us and a nice dinner in a restaurant. What she gave us instead was beyond my wildest expectations. She not only arranged for us to have a real wedding closer to what we had planned, but within 48 hours she had arranged the hotel and venue, hair and makeup, video-grapher with live streaming, photographer, DJ and florist. She even arranged for the macaron favors we had wanted to use in August. She really made sure that the wedding felt like a proper party and not like the rushed thrown together thing we had expected. Her readiness to leap in and help us was incredibly overwhelming, and thanks to her and her team our guests had a wonderful time. People kept coming up to us and saying they could not believe the wedding had been put together in six days, and they never would have guessed this was not what we had originally planned. All the vendors she used were ones that we had selected from her vendor list, and they were all incredibly professional and helpful. Jutta is an incredibly professional planner, and we are so grateful and amazed at what she was able to pull off on such short notice. She cares very deeply about providing the best service and best results for her clients, and will always be there making sure you are staying on top of any tasks or deadlines. Believe me with less than a week to plan it got a little overwhelming at times, but Jutta always kept her cool and helped me keep my bearings. I really wish she could have been there to see it, but her assistant Kelsey was warm, charming, and professional beyond her years. We were truly lucky. Thank you so much Jutta! read more

My 09/15/12 wedding went off without a hitch thanks to Jutta of A Day Like No Other. I honestly don't think I could have done it without her! A bride has about a thousand tasks to accomplish and details to think about, but thanks to Jutta, I was able to just enjoy my special day. On my wedding day and throughout the wedding planning process, Jutta was on top of everything-- There was not one detail that she let slip by. And, she went above and beyond helping us plan and create décor that fit perfectly with our "vintage San Francisco glamour" themed wedding. Jutta truly has an eye for elegance, is very knowledgeable about the wedding process, and has amazing ideas that will ensure a spectacular event. More than that, however, Jutta was a pleasure to work with. She was always very responsive when I contacted her, and proactive about reminding me of decisions that needed to be made or tasks that needed to be completed. For a busy bride like me, it was great to have her keeping me on track. My other vendors (who Jutta took control of contacting and coordinating with) have also told me how much they enjoyed working with Jutta. I would highly recommend A Day Like No Other to anyone looking for wedding coordinating services. read more

I'm so glad I found Jutta! Jutta met with me over coffee for the first time and explained to me what her day-of wedding coordinator responsibility would be. I knew instantly that she's exactly what I was looking for: calm, organized, detail-oriented, smart and reacts fast. Jutta met with my husband to be and his mom a few nights later and won them over for the same reasons. Jutta checked in with me a few months before the wedding making sure that I have chosen all my vendors. When I needed suggestions and referrals, she was there to help. During the month before the wedding, Jutta emailed my vendors with drafts of timeline and made sure they had what they needed. A few vendors commented on how organized she was and were all impressed. Jutta showed up for the rehearsal and waited patiently for all the wedding party to arrive. She was great with little kids and explained to them how important their duties were. Maybe they understood her, on out wedding day, they marched down the aisle with no glitch! The day of the wedding, Jutta stopped by my house in the morning to make sure the makeup artist was there and everything was good. She assured me that I was in good hands and I don't need to worry about anything! She was right! I enjoyed the day of my wedding knowing Jutta was there to take care of things. What impressed me the most, was when our wedding ended, Jutta stayed till past midnight to make sure the take down was done completely. Jutta goes above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect. I am happy I found Jutta. You would be happy to have Jutta there for you on your big day! read more

I can't speak highly enough of Jutta and her extensive knowledge of wedding coordinating and planning. I was told by many on the day of my wedding that I was the "calmest bride ever" and I attribute so much of that to knowing Jutta was in charge of the day. I did her partial coordination/planning package for our wedding in October 2021. Jutta was very knowledgeable and accessible during the 6-9 months before the wedding and she was extremely helpful in recommending vendors. We ended up choosing the majority of the vendors she recommended (all of whom were fabulous, professional, and a good price). In the 3 months leading up to the wedding we really hit the ground running and she was on top of it sending me detailed timelines and going over each of my vendor contracts thoroughly to make sure that all of the logistics would work out. The day of the wedding, we had a lot of variables that were in the air because of weather changes (it was raining and originally parts of the reception were supposed to be outside). Her and her assistant, Stephanie, were able to make changes on the fly without me hardly ever having to worry about it. The day was truly seamless and my now husband and I just got to enjoy the day. On top of being excellent at what she does, we adored her as a person. She means serious business (which you want in someone leading the charge!) but she is also incredibly kind, caring, and thoughtful. You can tell she does this work because she truly loves it and cares for the couples that she works with. Thank you Jutta for a magical day! read more

Jutta is amazing. She is the best wedding planner I could have asked for and did an amazing job at our wedding in Carmel on 8/29/15! She is very well connected, and knew our venue, our DJ, and even helped us find a great florist, chalkboard artist, and hair/makeup people! She handled day-of-wedding bride meltdowns with humor and practicality and kept the whole wedding going on time as scheduled. She helped us ensure that no small details were forgotten (easel for the chalkboard) and even did lots of grunt work (carrying vases from the bridal suite to the venue, distributing kid's favors). Honestly, we can't say enough good things about Jutta and anyone who is looking for a planner should book her NOW. Thank you so so so much, Jutta!!! Our wedding was beautiful and we could not have done it without you!!!! read more

Our wedding was super memorable thanks to Jutta and A Day Like No Other. As an intercultural couple, we wanted a wedding that reflects our individual backgrounds while having the style of a California summer outdoor wedding - not an easy thing to achieve. What made it extra challenging was that we had only gotten engaged just 7 months prior to the wedding date. Without Jutta's help we couldn't have been able to pull it off, let alone a truly fantastic wedding that our friends and family continue to gush about! Given the shortened timelines, her suggestions on the right vendors were highly valuable and all spot on. Her recommendations are all super high quality but she also kept our budget in mind, letting us know where we can achieve the proper tradeoffs to get what's most important to us while keeping budget inline. Her deep knowledge about weddings ensured that any running around to find the right vendors was kept to a minimum. However, the most difficult thing we had to do was to put all the pieces together - how do we include all the cultural bits, from visually putting the decors together to fitting them into a strict timeline without clashing and overwhelming the whole wedding. Her meticulous work of mapping out all the details and her ability to identify how things should go together made the whole process very straightforward. And she was super patient when we moved bits and pieces around to accommodate different requests. After we had finalized the plans, she also communicated with all the vendors and the venue's day of coordinator to ensure that everyone is on top of things. On the wedding day itself, Jutta's assistant, Kelsey, was super attentive and cheerful. We were constantly reminded that we should enjoy the special day and not to worry about the details. Indeed, we didn't! We simply lived through the fairy tale wedding and reception. Literally everything went as discussed without a hitch. Kelsey was there to see the wrap up of the evening, and everything was taken care of for us. We wholeheartedly recommend Jutta and her team to anyone wanting a fantastic wedding. Trust us, simply having the venue's coordinator alone is not enough. We started out the whole process thinking that we could do it ourselves, but the reality is that a wedding is truly a day like no other, and without Jutta's attentiveness and expertise as well as Kelsey's support, our wedding wouldn't have gone nearly as well as we had hoped. Jutta, we can't express how deeply grateful we are for all the help and guidance you have provided us during the whole process. You and your team made it the most special day of our lives! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!! read more

I'm a BBQ caterer from Stockton and had the pleasure of meeting and working with Jutta on a wedding for 160 yesterday in beautiful Angwin, Ca. From the day I met her at the venue walk, I knew that this wedding would be awesome, and it was! We've worked with many wedding planners over the years, but honestly, Jutta was just extraordinary to work with. I wish all my weddings went as smooth at this one. I hope to work with her on future events. It was an absolute pleasure! read more

Disclaimer: I typically read negative reviews with a grain of salt, understanding that there are often two sides to every story, but my experience working with Jutta had so many red flags I felt I needed to review. I was not the bride, but a bridesmaid at a wedding at which Jutta was the partial coordinator. I've never thought to leave a review for a vendor for a wedding that I was only involved in (as opposed to my own), but I feel strongly about both my own experience at the wedding, as well as the bride's, that it felt necessary to warn others. I was extremely disappointed in the services offered by Jutta as a coordinator. Not only was I a bridesmaid, but my husband officiated the wedding, so we were very involved in the logistics the weekend-of. At the rehearsal, Jutta seemed unorganized and still had many questions for the bride and groom, many of which seemed like they should have been covered earlier on (such as roles of parents, etc). However, my main concerns happened the day of the wedding. During the time where the bride/bridal party we're getting ready at the venue, Jutta was constantly bustling in and out of the room, asking the bride logistics questions, and verbally scolding her for running behind schedule. While I understand the need to keep a timeline going, it was clear the bride was flustered, and despite interference from bridesmaids and the mother of the bride, Jutta was rude to the point of reducing the bride to tears. In my opinion, it is NEVER okay to treat your client, much less a bride on her day, regardless of how behind schedule things are running. The bride had also provided Jutta with boxes of personal touches for the wedding-- drink signs, the guest book, and handmade decor for her to set out while we were getting ready. As guests began arriving, another bridesmaid and I realized the boxes were still sitting, unpacked on the guestbook table. Instead of continuing to get ready and support the bride, we had to leave the bridal suite to hurriedly set up all of the decor in front of guests. After the ceremony when it was time for pictures of the bridal parties and families, Jutta was nowhere to be found. The photographer (who ended up playing the part of day-of coordinator) had to go to the bride and ask her to find someone to step into the role of coordinator instead. A bridesmaid had to run the schedule for pictures, corralling wedding party and family members. My biggest issue with Jutta's services was the way she treated not only her clients, but her manner with the wedding party and guests. Before dinner began, the MOH and I asked Jutta if there was a plan in place for making sure the bride and from ate dinner. (The bride had told us earlier that she thought that Jutta was getting her and the groom a plate before the buffet opened, but she wasn't sure). Jutta snapped at us, rudely telling us that she would take care of it and to "just go sit down". Minutes later, the DJ invited the first tables to go get food. The MOH and I ended up going through the line to get the bride and groom plates, because, again, Jutta was nowhere to be found. Sorry for the long review, but my experience with Jutta differed so much from my own wedding experience with a partial coordinator that I felt it was important for brides to be to know what they were getting with this service. Even as a partial coordinator, a bride should expect to be able to enjoy her day without constant questions, rude comments, and putting her wedding party to work. Jutta was unprofessional and unhelpful, and in a competitive industry I don't see why someone would choose her services. read more

I had the pleasure of working with Jutta over the 9-month period we had to plan our wedding - and she immediately put me at ease. She knows her stuff, she's a great communicator, and she genuinely loves what she does - and really, what more is there to ask for? It's funny - until I read the reviews here, I always had the impression that my wedding was her only concern - my emails were always answered quickly and fully, and she was always so on top of her game. I realize now that she had quite a few other weddings going on in September - so what I was experiencing was none other than good ol' awesome service. read more

I highly, HIGHLY recommend Jutta Lammerts for any brides-to-be looking for a warm, knowledgable and awesome person to help them plan their Big Day. She was unfortunately unavailable for our date, but I fell in LOVE with her in our initial chat - she stood out far and above the others we interviewed and had so many recommendations right off the bat - we are so sad we can't have her as our partner but couldn't pass up spreading the word that she is a gem. read more

We had a fantastic experience with Jutta and her team at A Day Like No Other! From day one Jutta was responsive, sharp, professional, and ready to take on the event. I could tell she was so organized and could take charge of everything (the beast that wedding planning is!), which was exactly what we needed, and Jutta delivered exactly that! It was scheduled to rain on our day the weeks leading up to it (and our Plan A was primarily outdoors), and Jutta made sure to prep us for Plan B (layout of the party, and providing umbrellas to guests) - and I'm so glad she did because it did indeed rain! Despite the weather, the wedding was still perfect and beautiful, and seamlessly run. It was truly a day like no other. :) Jutta is experienced, professional, great to work with, and organized - you will be in terrific hands if you hire her! read more

Jutta came through for my daughter in a very stressful situation, where a wedding that was planned and underway in good order for August needed to be moved up on virtually no notice when the health of a close family member went into precipitous decline. From Monday, when the decision was made to move the wedding up, to the following Sunday, when the wedding came off with nary a hitch, Jutta and her staff swung into action -- the cavalry had arrived! We were given two good choices for a venue, and many of the other vendors whom my daughter had suggested could also be there for the new date. To be able to pull off such a transition, and to do it cheerfully, seamlessly, and professionally -- that is the mark of someone who is truly wonderful at their chosen business. Jutta has earned our highest commendation, and our deepest appreciation. Family from halfway around the world, and friends from next door, were united in their amazement that the wedding was done so well and under such time pressure. And a good time was had by all. Well done! read more

I worked with Jutta at a friend's wedding and she was very on top of the events of the day. Anytime we had a question about a change in the schedule, she found us before we found her! She has a type A personality which is what you want someone to have if they are planning your event. She was still very flexible throughout the day and I could tell she was doing everything she can to make the bride and groom and guests happy. If we had a question about adding something in, her response would be "if you think it would make the bride and groom happy and there's time, let's do it." I would recommend her for keeping events on track and to keep people happy! read more

This review is way long overdue and yet it's so hard to start somewhere because Jutta has done so much for us over the past year while planning our wedding. I hired Jutta for a full service coordinator. She helped us move right along in our timeline be it finding the vendors on time to making sure that we had our insurance lined up(which I had forgotten to do). She is very organized, detail oriented, and so much more. The few months leading up to the wedding everyone kept asking me whether I was nervous, but the truth was that I wasn't because Jutta did so much work for us that I knew and trusted all the things were taken care of. I can attest like the many other reviewers before that she is great to work with and she is meticulous about all the details. The first big thing that Jutta did was to help us get our amazing photogrpher Clane Gessel. I had told my now husband that since she was able to do this for us. She was worth every penny. The day of our wedding I had a blast and even though there were a few hiccups (as always) Jutta or her assistant took care of it ASAP. Sometimes so fast, that I didn't even realize that anything had happened. That's how smooth it was. She was in constant contacted with all of my vendors once I had chosen all of them and she coordinated everything so smoothly with all of them. She helped plan the layout of the venue, choosing color schemes for the flowers, planning the sendoff at the end of the night. Personally, because I ended up doing a lot of DIY projects and did lots of researching on other vendors I probably should have chosen a month long coordinator. Or if it was an option I would have had Jutta for a few months prior to the wedding day. However, all in all working with Jutta was such a wonderful experience. I am so glad that I chose her as my wedding coordinator because the wedding was just so smooth and I had no anxiety at all. When you find someone that can do that for you on your wedding day you know you trust them enough to relax and actually enjoy an already whirlwind of a day. read more

Jutta was our wedding coordinator and I cannot begin to express how much of a difference it made. She was one of the best choices we made in the wedding planning process. Her expertise in proofing our contracts, coordinating all the vendors day of, assisting with design and detail recommendations, phone calls, emails, constructing our day of timeline, orchestrating our rehearsal - she took all the stress away from us and made everything run smoothly, on time, and without difficulty. Jutta was the perfect support system throughout the entire process, a soundboard for ideas, and her expertise and experience was invaluable. She has the perfect amount of style/flair, sternness (in a good and organized way), and friendliness. Day of, Jutta was present exactly when she was needed and otherwise, blended in, managing all the vendors and ensuring tasks were competed by those who had been tasked. She ensured I had everything I needed and wanted. She even was aware of all our family drama to be able to step in if needed (which fortunately was not called for). She even surprised use at the dinner table with a framed pic from our ceremony! I still don't know how she did it - it was truly A Day Like No Other. Jutta is the best!! read more

Jutta helped me plan my wedding from the min I met her till the day after my wedding. She guided me through the process of finding the right vendors, coordinated and set up meetings and made sure I was on my game to check things off my list. She reminded me of deadlines with decisions and helped me choose wisely. She allowed me to call the shots and made sure I put the happiness of the bride first. It was a great experience working with Jutta. I would recommend her highly if you're looking for a wedding coordinator. read more

My husband and I hired Jutta as our "month of" wedding coordinator. This title is a bit of an understatement, as Jutta helped us start to get organized from our very first interaction. I can't recommend Jutta highly enough! Right at the beginning of our interactions she put together a detailed list of everything we had planned and everything we had yet to plan, and then kept us on track, sending us friendly reminders to get various things done. As the wedding day came closer, Jutta took over contact with our various vendors and put together all of the various moving pieces for us. This was a HUGE help, as we had hired all kinds of different people and having somebody responsible for telling them what to do was perfect. Jutta ran our rehearsal and looking back on it, we would have had no idea what to do without her there directing us. My mother, my husband, and his parents were all able to go into the wedding day totally stress free, confident in the fact that Jutta had everything organized and under control. It may seem a bit unbelievable, but I wasn't even a tiny bit stressed during the entirety of my wedding day. I didn't worry at all about what time it was or if I was supposed to be doing something; Jutta or her assistant was at my side directing us when we needed to do something and keeping us on track. I'm sure there were some things that went wrong throughout the day, but I didn't know about any of it since Jutta handled everything. She is a true professional and I am SO glad that we hired her. read more

Jutta was instrumental in making our wedding one of the best day's of our lives! She's got an amazing eye for detail - and is meticulously organized and follows through on every nitty gritty (and important) part of the plan. She coordinated with all the other vendors to make sure everyone was on the same page. Her calm and competent approach instills a level of confidence that let's you know you're in the hands of a consummate professional. She's well-connected and gave us a lot of great referrals. And, when it comes to responsiveness, she'd write me back within minutes of getting our email. read more

We serendipitous-ly met Jutta (A Day Like No Other) while wine tasting at our wedding venue (Thomas Fogarty Winery). She was organizing a wedding for that weekend and was at the venue prepping. She introduced herself to us, showing us her timeline for the wedding and I was immediately blown away. She was able to plan the wedding day down to almost 5 minute increments, kept to an incredibly timely and organized timetable. Honestly, that is what got me and I emailed her that night asking if she was available for my wedding day (9/1/19). After talking with her we decided to go with the month of coordination. It worked well for us as I booked most the vendors myself and felt comfortable handling most of the coordination leading up to the big day. Even though I only had Jutta "the month of " she was ALWAYS available for questions and concerns. Throughout the planning process I would email her contracts for vendors and she would review them to make sure there weren't major holes. Come the month of the wedding Jutta and I emailed weekly, to ensure every detail of our wedding was executed perfectly. Jutta and A Day Like No Other went above and beyond my expectations with our wedding (everything went smoothly and flawlessly) but we also started the wedding 15 minutes AHEAD of schedule. This was amazing because we were able to gain 15 minutes of dancing at the end. The best part of Jutta and her team was the consideration she showed my brother. My brother is severely developmentally delayed, in a wheelchair, incontinent, etc. Jutta and her team showed extreme sensitivity to Patrick, his whereabouts, and his comfort. Patrick was not able to be on the main lawn for family photos, so Jutta ensured he was available down in the Hill House for pictures. Lastly, we had many left over floral centerpieces after the wedding, so Jutta donated them to a local memory care facility. This wasn't in the plan, but I was so appreciative of her thoughtfulness. Jutta and her team are amazing. I consider myself very type-A and even I was blown away by her organization skills. My mom said it perfectly "she should charge more, she was worth every penny and more!" read more

Jutta was amazing! She is super professional, communicates quickly, answered all our questions, had great ideas from her years of experience and was graceful and easy to work with from the brides perspective and from the mother's perspective. I enjoyed and learned from each of our meetings. All the plans moved forward on time and her detailed timelines helped us all to relax and know we were in good hands. Day of Jutta was the on top of everything and yes, she really was the last to leave. She interfaced with all the other vendors so magically that they all want to work with her again. My highest recommendation! Use Jutta and you will have a lovely time and enjoy your own wedding. Vicky read more

We give Jutta our highest recommendation! She was fantastic--more than words can say! She was truly a lifesaver in so many ways, and I don't think we would have survived the wedding planning process without her! My (now) husband and I were immediately struck by her warmth and the fact that she seemed very experienced, resourceful and creative. Being new at the whole wedding planning process, it was really important to us that we work with someone whom we like and trust, and Jutta exceeded our expectations in every regard! Jutta's communication and responsiveness are outstanding. She would send friendly reminders if certain tasks needed attention and always responded to our questions in a timely manner. She coordinated with and between vendors skillfully and was so on top of everything, consistently. She had fantastic design ideas and was a great sounding board as we were considering various options. Keeping our budget in mind, she would recommend vendors that fit our price point. It was evident that she is very well connected within the wedding planning community and clearly very respected. Almost all of the vendors we interviewed (even those that we learned about on our own) had heard of her and spoke very highly of her. My partner and I had no idea how much communication with vendors takes place in the last few weeks before the wedding, and Jutta was there every step of the way and really made life so much easier for us. We were both overwhelmed by work pressures and a back injury on my part on top of the stress from wedding planning. Her organization and assertiveness with vendors was absolutely invaluable and decreased our stress dramatically. Again, we really could not have survived this period without her. As mentioned above, she exceeded our expectations in every way! As an example, when we met for a site visit, when my partner and I got there, she had already toured the site and gotten to know the staff! Another example: she came to our dress rehearsal even though our church had its own coordinator and she brought faux bouquets for bride and maid of honor! She really thinks of everything. She also made us beautiful seating charts! On the actual day of, Jutta and her two assistants were stellar. They visited with bride, groom, church and reception sites and helped everyone stay on track. We were running behind and her assistant Lisa kindly picked up our lunches to help save us time! I spent quite a bit of time with her other assistant Jessica, especially right before I went into the church for the processional. She was absolutely lovely and her calm nature and kindness helped calm my nerves. She also helped me use the ladies' room later since I was afraid I'd drop my dress in the toilet lol! Talk about full service! :) Jutta helped keep us on schedule during the reception, which was very helpful since we had a lot of activities planned. We appreciated how available she was throughout the night; she always kindly reminded us of what was next on the schedule so that we could be prepared. She stayed through the end of the reception and beyond, ensuring that everything was taken care of with gifts, vendors and that everyone's questions were answered. I realize this review is quite long, but Jutta did such a fantastic job that I feel like sharing with everyone what an amazing job she did. Besides being an incredibly capable wedding planner, Jutta is a lovely human being who is hugely generous and deeply caring. Jutta, we can't thank you enough for everything you did to make our wedding day a dream come true! We miss you already and can't wait to be in touch! read more

I was a bridesmaid in a wedding where Jutta was the wedding planner. Many aspects of the rehearsal dinner and wedding seemed over-looked and disorganized. There were many things that Jutta was supposed to take care of that got mis-communicated or that the bride and groom had to take time away from their special day to handle. She was also harsh / abrasive, and to be honest quite rude to a number of the guests and the wedding party, including myself. I would not recommend her to a friend looking for a wedding planner. read more

I was in the wedding party of a wedding that was planned by Jutta. Though my only experience with her was the rehearsal and the day of, it was lovely to have her there. She was incredibly helpful, kept us informed and kept everything on schedule. She had an endless bag of wonders to fix any issue that could arise (in my case, an imminent wardrobe malfunction and a sad case of weak deodorant). She also had great stories to tell and was just a calming presence for us jittery ladies. The wedding could not have been more beautiful and I could tell that was thanks, in part, to Jutta. If you're considering this service, consider no further! read more
