Jenny is more much than a coordinator. My mom had a small stroke about 6 weeks before our wedding. Jenny went from day-of-coordinator to a life raft. I will never forget, after sending her the email explaining my mom's situation, Jenny calling me almost immediately - literally just offering her ear. After letting me express all my fears, tears, and anxieties - she got to work. She encouraged me to take a beat to feel all the feelings, and then insisted we have another call a day or two later so I could "brain dump" everything wedding on her. Jenny was able to take that unorganized, jumbled mess of a phone call and spit out a highly detailed, actionable, and prioritised to-do list that broke down not only what I had to do, my husband had to do, but she took on things that MY MOM was supposed to do. I cannot tell you how much this was appreciated - it makes me teary eyed just thinking about her kindness and how she went above and beyond to ensure our wedding day was a spot of brightness and hope amongst the dark weeks leading up to it. Sure enough, my mom recovered beautifully - was not only AT the wedding, but dancing a speech-giving with the best of them. Thank you, Jenny, for believing that would be so - getting us to the finish line and just overall being a wonderful human. read more

Jenny from Blue Moon Events was hands down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Although we hired her for a day-of coordination package, the support she gave us in the months leading up to the big day was absolutely invaluable. Her regular check-ins kept us on track, she helped us stay organized, and she personally recommended nearly all of our amazing vendors. She also constantly made sure we were doing okay and offered help wherever she could. She truly went above and beyond. When the wedding day arrived, Jenny and her husband Jeff took over and everything went off without a hitch. We didn't have to stress about a single thing, which meant the world to my wife and me. We were able to be fully present and enjoy every moment thanks to them. I would recommend her to absolutely everyone. She is a total pro and an absolute joy to work with. 1000% worth it read more

Jenny. is. incredible! We simply cannot overstate how wonderful she was to work with. We hired Blue Moon Events as a day-of coordinator, but we got so much more! We met with Jenny via zoom regularly throughout the wedding planning process (over a year), emailed with her regularly, and relied on her for advice about everything from tipping our vendors, to the wedding day timeline, and so much more. Not only did we find a queer-friendly wedding coordinator, we found an ally. Jenny and everyone at BME are wonderful people and we wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding planner in the Chicagoland area! read more

Where to start? Working with Jenny and her husband, Jeff, was one of the best decisions I made in the wedding planning process! My now husband and I (okay, mostly me) managed so much of the planning leading up but when it came to the crazy month leading up and the actual day of, it was amazing to have help. Enter Jenny! She came recommended to us by Toast & Jam and the best vendors in Chicago definitely know the best. We had an initial meeting with her and Jeff early on and walking away we just told each other, "they're just so NICE and NORMAL." (It's weird how that isn't always common in the wedding industry.) She asked us great questions and always made us feel like it was our wedding but she was there to help make it better and deliver! Of course, her guidance and expertise were crucial into having the final day be what we imagined. In the month leading up, Jenny was always there! She attended the final walk through at our venue a month in advance, delivered an amazing day-of blueprint for us and wedding party, was always available with a quick phone call or e-mail (no matter the hour...), and even led our rehearsal at a non-traditional venue. My husband and I had our siblings officiate the wedding and, needless to say, they were new to this. Jenny even took time to connect with the both of them separately - to say she goes above and beyond is an understatement. Fast forward to day of the wedding! Jenny and Jeff were ON IT. They delivered items to the item, picked up styrofoam coolers for the shuttle (yep, we forgot), and set up the venue to PERFECTION! One of the biggest things is that she tried our friends and family with care and respect and we received so many compliments through the course of the day. Same from our vendors! They also kept our glasses during our reception which probably contributed to the late night song & dance party that our wedding evolved into at the end of the night. No regrets. Long story short - I cannot thank them enough. Jenny isn't just a part of the wedding planning team, she's a leader who is the best to have on your side. If you can't guess by now, I DEFINITELY recommend Blue Moon Events! read more

I am a wedding coordinator with a large resort up in Wisconsin and i had the pleasure of working with Jenny. Jenny was professional, organized, very friendly, and i wish i could work with her on every wedding i do here! Her attention to detail was phenomenal, and the bride and groom had nothing to worry about. She even picked up lunch for the bridal party! She was truly a pleasure to work with and i will be recommending her to all of my brides and grooms! read more

If you are having an event - specifically a wedding - anywhere within the Chicago-land area we highly recommend Blue Moon Events. You will be sure to have a stress free and wonderful experience! We have worked with Jenny and Jeff twice and are great to work with! As a DJ company (ExtremeSoundsENT.com) we provide our clients access to a timeline and planning form, but Blue Moon goes above and beyond providing everyone a very detailed blue print for the special day. You will be sure not to go wrong with how helpful it was to not only us but to every vendor and client! They were very professional, courteous, and very organized! If you hire Jenny and Jeff I promise you will not be let down and you will actually get to enjoy your special day instead of stressing over it. read more

Amazing, incredible, are just a few words to describe Blue Moon Events! Jenny and Jeff make an outstanding team! We wanted to plan our son & daughter-in-law's wedding & reception ourselves but found the process overwhelming & time consuming. We hired Blue Moon Events for the "day of the wedding" events and are so glad we did. Jenny immediately stepped in and developed a blueprint for each event with specific details & timing. She had creative ideas on how to simplify, manage and enhance their wedding day - from organizing the bridal party's hair & makeup, getting everyone to the church on time, coordinating the ceremony, & managing the reception venue. Jenny & Jeff were onsite from early morning until late at night managing the events! As with any event, there were a few "glitches" - they discretely & effectively resolved each issue. All of their pre-planning and "day of the wedding" coordination allowed us to truly treasure our special day! We highly recommend Blue Moon Events and will definitely hire them for our next event! read more

My husband and I had our wedding back in November at Salvage One. Choosing Blue Moon events as our day-of event coordinator was the best choice we could have ever made. Our entire day went off without a hitch. Jenny and Jeff kept everyone organized, helped with set up, helped with transportation, and literally every other thing you could possibly think of. My husband's button on his tux popped off 5 minutes into our wedding party photos. Jeff fixed it within minutes. The shawls I bought my bridesmaids came out wrinkled from their bags. They ironed them for us. I am a very organized person, but sometimes things go wrong that are out of your control. It was so nice to go throughout our day without a single worry or concern. My husband and I were able to have an amazingly fun day because we knew that everything was taken care of and that everything would go smoothly because of Jenny and Jeff. Jenny also makes a detailed blueprint for all vendors and an abbreviated version for everyone in the bridal party that gives a nice outline of the day so everyone is on the same page with timing. Every other vendor we worked with for our wedding commented on how great the blueprint was, or that it was the best blueprint they have ever received. Both Jenny and Jeff are incredibly approachable, caring individuals that pay such attention to detail. If I could give them 10 stars I would. read more

Jenny was a HUGE help at our wedding. We had a non-traditional ceremony that a friend of ours officiated. None of us knew what we were doing and Jenny did a great job of organizing us and making things happen at the last minute. She was calm, organized, and enthusiastic about the big day. Jenny has a great sense of humor and is a joy to be around especially when events get stressful. Her husband was great the day of as well. My partner and I don't live in Chicago so finding a venue was tough from afar. Jenny gathered lots of information on the venues for us and also visited sites with us when we came to visit. I would recommend Blue Moon Events to anyone who has something big they are planning and could benefit from professional help. read more

** THANK YOU JENNY FOR BEING APART OF THE BEST NIGHT OF OUR LIFE** My husband, mother and I hired Jenny as our day of coordinator. We were so fortunate to have found Jenny. It was very apparent from our first meeting how much she truly enjoys her job. The planning: From the moment we hired her she was always readily available to answer any questions we had, checked up on us monthly and made sure we stayed on track of what needed to be done. We ran our ideas by her and she definitely let us know what we really needed for the wedding and what we could forgo. I am an extremely detail-oriented person and Jenny was the perfect fit. The planning documents she created just for us, were AMAZING! And she was fantastic with response time. We had our ceremony and reception at the Genesee Theater on 9/3/16. Unfortunately we had an issue with our caterer 3 weeks prior to the wedding and Jenny helped us find a stellar catering company. Throughout the whole planning process you can definitely tell she was genuinely excited for our big day. It was very evident how much she cared about us. In fact, we lost my father three months prior to the wedding and Jenny was so wonderful on a personal level and helping us get back on track, as we had put the planning on hold. It truly was like working with an old friend! The execution: AMAZING. Until you plan your own wedding you will never know the things that go on in the weeks leading up to your wedding. Phone calls and emails are non-stop. There are so many little details that could be overlooked. Jenny took over as the contact person for all of our vendors which included catering, floral, photography, videography, make-up, ceremony site managers, chair & chandelier rentals and our live band. She coordinated with everyone as to when and where they needed to be while finalizing any last minute things that they needed to do. All of our guests had a fantastic time. Our dream wedding was to be married and have dinner, drinks and dancing on stage with all of our closest family and friends. Jenny and her husband definitely made that happen. The whole night went by flawlessly and we have her to thank. Overall: Professional, personable and perfect. Jenny is amazing at what she does and we are forever grateful for her. read more

Jenny is the cat's meow. She and her husband were godsends on our wedding day and in the stressful weeks leading up to it. We hired them as day-of-coordinators, but they went above and beyond! Typically when you hire a day-of-coordinator, you get a limited number of hours of service. Not so with Jenny. She was there all day (and night) to help make our wedding day seamless and smooth sailing--from helping set up and tear down our reception to jumping in when things did not go as expected. We met with her in person and she was available by email and phone leading up to our wedding as well to troubleshoot any issues. She was there to handle it all! I realized just 2 hours before our ceremony that I had forgotten my earrings at my apartment. Without hesitating, Jenny's husband came to the hotel where I was getting ready to grab my keys and retrieve the earrings from my apartment. We were so impressed with the level of care and professionalism Jenny had in helping us prepare the timeline for the big day, and carried it out to the T. Blue Moon Events was also the least expensive of the day-of-coordinators we considered. We would hire them again in a heartbeat! Thank you, Jenny and co! read more

I hired Blue Moon Events to coordinate my son's 1st birthday party. While I had a basic idea of what I wanted to do, I had no idea how to actually do it! I also wanted to stay within a certain budget.. Well, a friend of mine recommended Jenny, and even though I was a little embarrassed about being "cheap", she immediately put my mind and heart at ease by asking all the right questions, really learning about what my true desires were, and assuring me she was totally OK with it! Although everything was done remotely via phone and email, it all transpired very smoothly. Jenny ended up putting together a blueprint for me to follow, including decorations, food, drinks, and activity timeline - all related to my barnyard friends theme. She even sent links to recipes and places to purchase her suggestions. I had the idea, Jenny made the plan, and I executed it, and it turned out better than my wildest imagination! Plus, I stayed within my budget. I am so glad I made the investment in Blue Moon Events and Jenny, because the event did become a party to remember for everyone who was there! So, no matter what your needs, how vast or how narrow, Jenny can make your event less stressful and more successful. read more
