    When I was first looking around for a wedding planner over a year ago, I was a little hesitant to…read moresign up with AJ because there were no online reviews. So now that all the wedding craziness is over, I thought I should post something about how great AJ and her crew are. As out-of-towners planning a small (36 guest) wedding in Anna Maria, we were looking for someone who could help us with planning and also provide that crucial local knowledge--where to get flowers, where to rent a sound system, etc. From our first meeting with AJ, we knew we'd made a good choice. She is warm, personable, and incredibly knowledgeable about both wedding planning and all aspects of the local area. I know she has lots of clients, but I really felt like she took the time to listen to us, get to know who we were, and make sure that we ended up with the exact vibe we wanted: casual and beach-y, but still classy. We had AJ's team handle all three of our events (a welcome party the night before, the wedding itself, and a brunch), and they provided planning, rentals, staging, AND all the food for all the parties. It was a great option for us and it took away a lot of the stress of trying to put all the pieces together ourselves. Since we live over 1000 miles away, I had to rely on AJ to make a lot of the decisions, including choosing new linens after prices went up and we had to change suppliers. She took our invitation as inspiration and selected the PERFECT table settings--I can honestly say that she could not have chosen anything that was more perfect or that I would have liked better. From the beginning of the first party, we were blown away by how beautiful everything was and how smoothly it all went. AJ has a great eye for detail, and she is really good at choosing decorations that complement the natural setting. Our Welcome party was a backyard picnic, very casual, but she added funky details like lanterns and picnic cloths that really elevated the look. All of the design elements associated with the wedding itself were creative and cool. The day before the wedding, she e-mailed me a photo of a driftwood arch she'd made for a photo shoot earlier in the week and asked me if we wanted to use it for our ceremony. We'd been planning on standard bamboo, but as soon as I saw the photo I decided to go with the driftwood! She even added pearls to the arch to echo the pearls on my dress. All of the food was excellent. We did a cocktail hour with passed appetizers, followed by a buffet dinner with a Caribbean BBQ theme. Unlike with a traditional caterer, AJ's team does all the cooking on-site, so everything is fresh. The food isn't overly complicated, just top-of-the-line ingredients and great flavor combinations. All four passed appetizers were awesome, and the chimichuri sauce they made was one of the best things I've ever tasted. One note: Although AJ's team provides food, you supply your own alcohol--which is great from a cost perspective, but it can be a bit of a hassle if you're from out of town. In short, AJ knows what she's doing, and her team goes way beyond the cookie-cutter stuff you see everywhere. If you're looking for something elegant with unique design elements, I don't think you could make a better choice. The only real complaint I could make is that communication in terms of quotes and costs is not as clear and polished as you might get with a larger company--you need to be on your toes and make sure that what you've requested is accurately reflected in quotations and that sort of thing. But for us at least, the quality and personal service that we got from AJ was well worth any additional effort on our part to keep up with the quotes.

    Creative ability excellent. Communication and responsiveness poor. Did not meet expectations as a…read morewedding. Did not bring the grooms boutonnière and orchid stems on sweetheart table were broken. Would not recommend.

    we attended a wedding at the beautiful Jubilee Estates but…read more venues event planner - Jennifer was very unprofessional, intrusive and thinks she is the hostess drinking and dancing on the job - wearing flashy clothing to attract attention, and rude to guests she made a conscious effort to be visible to wedding owners blocking the view of guests and monitoring continuously by being in the middle of a everything like gestapo at rehearsal and wedding day She was inviting guests to dance floor I have never seen a wedding planner like her oblivious to problems happening - sound system problems , one table that wasn't cleared up until waiters realized for about 30 minutes as she was too busy having fun herself - Best wedding planners are invisible and monitor and manage behind the scenes they make a conscious effort not to standout but yet here she was on bright red clothes on rehearsal day and flashy outfit with a hat dancing around during wedding - the wedding was shutdown at 10 pm due to noise ordinance ( law enforcement came) - planner should have known and dısclosed this as website stated 11 .she was not meticulous which is what wedding planning is about ! Despite being asked questions on timeline during rehearsal dinner wedding planner was not able to answer what time guest should arrive and was dismissive to all questions stating her assistant was there not herself When asked about potential tree nut allergy she responded ( so they probably should not eat it - rather than coming up with alternate plan) planner was blatantly rude to younger members of the family as well sometimes trying to physically snatch an object from their hands. I would not recommend her to anyone maybe his team members are better at doing wedding planning .

    I'm so sad to write such a review but feel other customers need to know how tacky Jennifer can be…read more My great niece got married with a beautiful ceremony October 13 just after Hurricane Milton went through Florida. Although there was no power, "the show must go on" so they had a generator. Everything was going well. The brides moms gave fantastic speeches. When a brides sister was half way through her very touching speech, Jennifer barged in and announced "WE HAVE POWER!" The audacity and unprofessionalism was so disheartening it made me so sad that my great niece had to refocus herself because of this.
