Jenn Ganson saved my life! My daughter and I were planning her wedding together, then Covid arrived (no further explanation needed...). I was working with BOKA Group and Viceroy Hotel-Chicago. At some point in 2020 the relationship between the 2 entities was severed. I was left with a very inexperienced manager(Viceroy)who was not capable of managing the details of our upcoming event. I retained Jenn(A Fresh Event)after a disastrous menu tasting along with countless questions unanswered. It was bad! Not a good experience at the venue. Jenn to the rescue! This fabulous person was able to take over the task of managing the hotel, coordinate all my vendors and create timelines to keep all on task. Jenn's communication style is beyond timely! She answers emails within minutes of hitting "send". I was always in awe of her responsiveness. My first encounter with Jenn was via telephone. I knew immediately she was the one. Jenn is one of the most detail oriented, responsive, self motivated, smart and creative person I have ever worked with. Jenn delivers on all her commitments and DOES WHAT SHE SAYS! Jenn's integrity is remarkable and admirable. NOT hiring A Fresh Event would be a mistake! Look no further, hire the best, A Fresh Event. read more

Hiring AFE was one of the most superior decisions my husband & I made for our wedding day. We planned a pseudo destination wedding in Chicago this past spring, and we knew early on that we wanted a coordinator involved in our planning process. After reading such positive reviews (future couples, I hope this helps!) it was clear that AFE was our dream team. We were paired with Rachel as our main coordinator, and enjoyed our monthly calls and AFE's planning tools to really keep us on track. As the wedding inched closer, we unironically started calling Rachel our fairy godmother, because there really is no other way to describe how she helped us. There was not a single call, text, or 7th email of the day that Rachel so much as batted an eye at. I never knew that I would be SO calm on my wedding day, because I never imagined that every minute detail would truly be accounted for; Rachel made this our reality. As my friends continue to get engaged, my first advice is always to "find their Rachel". We will forever be Rachel & AFE's #1 fans! read more

We are so thankful for the AMAZING services Jen and her team provided us. We were stress-free on our wedding day and it's because of Jen. We hired A Fresh Event to help coordinate our wedding. She was very quick to respond to our initial inquiry, listened to our needs and provided us with what we needed help with. She made sure we were completing tasks when we needed to and made herself available to help answer questions (small or big). She is so fun to work with and made the planning process enjoyable! We had a few small issues come up and Jen stepped right in and resolved them quickly. On the day of our wedding, she was by our side the entire day- making sure we ate, ensured everyone was where they needed to be, coordinated with all of our vendors and made sure we never had an empty glass throughout the evening. She had every detail taken care of in terms of who would be taking our gifts/cards home, packing up our things and sending us back to the hotel with no worries at all. Not only did she make sure we were taken care of, she made sure our families were as well. The next day as we were sitting in the airport, she sent us pictures she took throughout the day. Such a special touch! We love Jen and had such an amazing experience. Words can't thank her enough for everything she has done for us! read more
