Jen was the captain, oh captain, of our wedding. She's not only the most incredible, detailed, creative planner we could have ever hoped to work with, but she was also so kind and supportive of us as a couple. We worked with Jen as our day-of planner, and yet, she never hesitated to answer an email beforehand and provide recommendations or advice as we brought our wedding details and vendors together. We booked her 20 months before our wedding and felt she was with us the entire journey. ​Jen made the magic of our wedding possible, and even on the day of, after spending so much time with us helping to make our dream come true in planning, she continued to add magical personal touches throughout the day that we still appreciate and love. ​Book her now - she and her team are the absolute best. Jen and her team are incredible to work with. Even though her contract didn't start until a month out, Jen would continuously check in with us and be there for us whenever we needed advice. Planning a wedding with her is like playing a real life game of "Yes, and...", however you want your wedding to be like, she'll think of all the ways to make it possible and execute on your vision. She's so kind and generous with her time throughout, we felt like we were looked after the whole time, which was especially great since we were new to the whole process and felt a little lost. read more

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Campfire Events for a very special wedding in Beverly Hills, and I cannot rave enough about this wonderful team. Jen and her team were professional, friendly, kind, and incredibly hardworking. The venue was large with many steps and logistics, yet everyone on the team remained calm, composed, and ready to adapt to any situation. It was truly refreshing to work with a group of individuals who not only communicated seamlessly throughout the event but also kept everything organized via email and in all pre-event coordination. We were so happy to collaborate on this project and look forward to many more opportunities in the future. Cheers to everyone at Campfire Events! read more

I don't even know where to begin. Jen and Claire were absolutely amazing. We originally did not have plans to hire a wedding planner / coordinator. But as the wedding approached, we became more anxious and decided to reach out to Campfire Events. Jen and Claire were so caring an invested every singly step of the way. They really listened to every fear and and insecurity we had leading up to the wedding and took care of each concern both before and on the day of. They were professional every step of the way and really cared about the success of our big day. They followed up with vendors, made sure we submitted we needed to in a timely manner, and took every request we had and ensured that it would be completed before / on the wedding day. On the day of the wedding, they had a a full team on site making sure everything went smoothly and checking the stress conditions for both the bride and groom to make sure that neither my or my wife had to deal with any logistical stress the day of. They provided printed schedules for the wedding party to pass out to family & it was very handy to keep on track for the night of. I was overly thrilled to have had Jen and Claire coordinate our wedding and their team and I would 100 % recommend them for any wedding / event. read more

Campfire Events - Wedding Planning Near Me

I was referred to Campfire Events by a trusted friend who couldn't stop raving about their wedding--and now I completely understand why!! Jen and her team exceeded every expectation my now-husband and I had. As a couple who had no idea where to begin with planning, Jen guided us through every step with patience, professionalism, and heartfelt care. Her attention to detail, calming presence, and genuine investment in our day went far beyond what we imagined. She made the entire planning process not only smooth and stress-free but enjoyable despite all the nervousness we felt. I consider myself a pretty organized person, but Jen operates on another level entirely! What truly sets her apart is the continued support even after the wedding. Jen followed up, helped us tie up final logistics, and made sure we received our deposit back--something we never expected but deeply appreciated. That level of commitment is rare. A heartfelt thank you to Jen, Claire, and the entire Campfire Events team for making our wedding not only stunning but seamless and truly unforgettable. We'll always be grateful :)!! read more

If I could give more than 5 stars, I absolutely would. You know it's a good sign when our venue coordinator--who had seen countless weddings--told us, "Remember when I said it's worth hiring a true professional? Jen and Claire are the real deal." And she couldn't have been more right. Jen and Claire are, in every sense, masters of their craft. Their attention to detail is simply unparalleled--catching things we would have never thought of and solving problems before we even knew they existed. But beyond the logistics and timelines, what truly sets them apart is how deeply they care. They really had our backs. They were fully present with us every step of the way--not only as planners, but as true partners and unwavering sources of emotional support. They celebrated our wins, reassured us through stressful moments, and made us feel completely held and seen throughout the entire process. By the end of it, they genuinely felt like family. One of the most memorable parts of working with them was how intentional they were about understanding what mattered most to us for the big day. They didn't just ask us what kind of wedding we wanted--they asked how we wanted to feel on the day, what was most important to each of us, and what we want the experience to be like. That wasn't just a box to check off. They took our answers to heart and made those priorities the compass that guided every decision. The result? They delivered fully. Our day was exactly what we described, prioritized, and asked for. The best day of our lives. If you've found Campfire Events, and Jen and Claire, there is really no other option. Working with Jen and Claire was hands-down one of the best decisions we made, and we will be forever grateful for the care, talent, and heart they poured into our day. You will not regret it. read more

Campfire events far exceeded my expectations. They were phenomenal in every aspect. They knew what you needed before you even did and their knowledge helped make our day run smoothly. We hired the team for the day of coordinator and they went above and beyond. I can't rave enough about how Jen and Claire made my entire event special. They helped coordinate and navigate our timeline with every vendor and worked their butts off to help ensure it ran well. My only regret is not getting the full package and working with them from the start. They made my life so easy the day of I had nothing to worry about. I would recommend them to all my friends. Thank you guys! read more

I cannot say enough great things about Jen and her team! My husband and I did the partial planning package and it was everything we hoped for and more! From the initial meeting, to timelines, milestones, vendor recommendations, to just hearing out our concerns and ideas (with no judgement), to the big day, Jen was there with us every step of the way. While our wedding was in Orange County, my husband and I live in the bay so it was especially helpful and relieved so much stress on us by having Jen and her team to count on. I don't know how many people would say their experience in wedding planning was easy, my husband and I are firmly on that boat thanks to Jen and team. In all honestly, it was such a breeze because we had Jen in our corner. I cannot say enough great things about Jen, she is caring, compassionate, detail oriented, and dedicated to ensuring you have the wedding of your dreams. Our wedding went off without a hitch thanks to Jen and if you hire her, yours will too! read more

Jen and her team are absolutely phenomenal! From the get-go, Jen was so warm and friendly. She helped ease the overwhelming process of planning a wedding. I truly appreciate that she kept our budget in mind while simultaneously providing vendors and recommendations that could really encapsulate the vision we wanted. Her team the day of was just as warm and friendly while being professional and making sure everything was running smoothly. My husband and I never had to worry about anything, and we were so grateful that Jen and her team made sure our comfort and happiness came first. I can't recommend Campfire Events enough! It'll truly be the best decision you can ever make! Thank you, Jen and Campfire Events! We adore you all so much! read more

Ladies & Gents, if you're looking to start planning for your wedding and are in need of help (day of/full/partial), look no further! Jen is your girl! You've heard the horror stories about coordinators going MIA and doing a shi**y job on the day of. It is all true! I had the misfortune of working with one before I found Jen. My previous coordinator didn't show up to the first meeting so I had to fire her and was in panic! I reached out to Jen and she responded right away and I was able to book her for my wedding! THIS, as I will come to realize later, was THE BEST decision I made when it comes to finding and hiring vendors for the wedding. After the intro meeting, I knew right away that she really knows what she is doing. Even though I hired her for the day-of service, she didn't hesitate to attend every meeting/site visits and truly went ABOVE AND BEYOND. The most impressive thing about Jen is that she is thinking 2-3 steps ahead of you. Not only that, she'll do all the research for you. She makes the whole thing so hassle-free & easy! On the day of the wedding, I had a table cover emergency because I didn't bother to check and open all the table covers that I bought online. It turned out that one of the table covers I bought for the reception was the world's ugliest table cover. My only other alternative was to use a black table cover that the venue had.... NOoOoOoOo... BUT Jen came to my rescue and offered to send someone to buy a white table over for me and totally saved the day. This is just one very small example. She is so personable and professional that you really can trust her with every little detail. At first, I really didn't care about hiring a coordinator. I knew I wanted to do all the planning myself and was confident that I could pull this off without any help. I thought only I could make my wedding day perfect ... LOL. But ladies & gents, if you are like me and know what you want for your wedding and are pretty organized/detail-oriented, please hire Jen. She will EXCEED your expectation. I hired her for day-of service, so I can only imagine how FANTASTIC she will be if she were to be hired for full/partial service. If you really care about making your wedding memorable and special... hire Jen. JUST DO IT! I'm already going around telling everyone about what a fabulous job she has done! I'll edit the review with pix when those are available! read more

Literally a life saver. My now wife and I were completely lost when we started planning our wedding. We found Jen and her team at Campfire through a friend who also used Jen's services for their wedding. We set a budget and Jen worked to ensure that we stayed without our budget when finding vendors. On top of that, on the day of, Jen and her team handled everything behind the scenes so seamlessly. This allowed my wife and I to enjoy our time with our guests! read more

Jen So has a gift and saying she was great as our wedding coordinator would be an understatement. We decided to book her 1 month service and that is our only regret; we should have opted for her 6 month service as she would have saved us so many headaches! When it came time for her to provide her expertise, she exceeded our expectations. Our first meeting together, she went through every single aspect of our wedding-to-come without making us feel overwhelmed. She helped us see the full picture by going through expectations and guiding us through a timeline in chronological order in a very detailed and meticulous perspective. She worked extremely well with all of our vendors and reached out to each in a timely manner gathering all of the permits/documents/information necessary. What we loved most about Jen was that she was extremely down to earth, and made us feel like we weren't talking to someone that is just for hire. No, she genuinely wanted us to have the wedding we envisioned and worked very hard to make that come true! On the day of, Jen and her team were so wonderful at their job, this review would be 10 pages long if we were to include every little thing they did! To Jen and her team, please know we noticed all of the littlest of things you and your team did that made such a big difference for our big day, and we truly appreciate you all. To all who are looking for a coordinator to bring your vision to life and relieve 100% of your stress in planning for your wedding, please look no further. Go with Campfire Events! read more

Our experience with Jen and her team could not have gone any better. Jen was always so incredibly responsive, friendly and calm during the most stressful situations throughout the planning stages. Stressful only because of Covid delays and our venue giving us a hard time. Going above and beyond is an absolute understatement in our experience to say the least. The day off, seemed like we were in a movie. Everything was so fluid and carefree. Looking back, we honestly wouldn't change a thing and could not imagine what it would have been like without her support, guidance, compassion and execution. Anyone looking for a partner to deliver the experience of their dreams, we'd absolutely recommend using Jen and her team at Campfire Events. read more

I hired Jen for month of coordination, and let me tell you she surpassed every expectation! First of all a good wedding planning is worth every penny, and my only regret is not hiring for her for full planning because I can only imagine how great she would be at that. Even before my month of planning she was available for questions, etc. but month she was there for every single step, phone calls, emails, txts, vendor issues, etc. Number and emails and phone calls she did, honestly took so much off my plate. There are so many little ways that she went above and beyond. Both me and my fiancé adore Jen and her team for helping us have an amazing wedding day. When it came to my wedding day she was so unbelievably organized, and thoughtful. She was there all day, handling everything! Anything that came up on that day she had solutions to. Her whole team was so sweet. they were everywhere always ready to help. I would recommend her in a heartbeat to anyone. read more

Hiring Jen So was the best decision we made, no way we could have planned this wedding without Jen. We also were wedding planing from a distance since we live in San Francisco and our wedding was in our home city of Los Angeles. We had to postpone our wedding twice due to the pandemic, Jen was so flexible and understanding. We went with the partial planning package which begins about 6 months out, but Jen was definitely involved prior to that time. Jen was super organized, responsive, well informed, and very patient with us. She really cares about her clients needs and it was just amazing to see our wedding vision come to fruition. She helped with so many things such as acquiring vendors, wedding invitations, collecting vendor insurance, selecting rentals, there is really too much to list. Jen has built many strong relationships with other Vendors. She knew our venue and caterer well which really put us at ease. Jen also coordinated our wedding rehearsal which was a great benefit for us and our wedding party. The day of the wedding timeline was super detailed, and everything ran smoothly. Jen and her team coordinated with all the vendors prior to wedding and day of wedding. I really did not have to worry about anything that day except enjoying being a bride. Jen and her team were there till the very end. My husband and I feel blessed to have worked with Campfire Events. Our wedding day was an absolute dream. Thank you for your care and hard work. I highly recommend Campfire Events! read more

I knew I wanted to plan my own wedding, and felt I had enough creative and logistics capability to take it on. However, I also knew that there was so much context I just didn't have because I'd never planned a big event. Many of the coordinator/planner referrals I spoke to were trying to nudge me towards pricey full service planning packages, citing my lack of experience. But Jen was immediately different. She asked me what kind of questions were on my mind, and answered on the spot with best practices. She ended the call by saying she felt really confident I could do the planning and even with the month of coordination level, she would be reachable to support me if I ran into any challenges or needed any context. I booked her so fast. And sure enough, Jen was a valuable resource as we checked in here and there. At a month out, she fully jumped in and got super familiar with our vendor set and creative plans. When family members threw in last minute 'what if we did THIS during the ceremony', Jen was super quick to lay out possibilities and try to make things happen. Her calmness kept me calm! On the day of the wedding, I feel like my most frequent phrases were "Thank you so much for coming" and "Hey Jen?" I was able to FULLY let go of all the details and plans that had been brewing in my head for months, and trust Jen completely to make those plans come to life. And everything was even more wonderful and gorgeous and smooth than I had imagined it. With a positive and calm presence, Jen (and Claire and Gina!) took such good care of us and our families and our wedding party - from steaming dresses, to taping me into my gown, to dispensing tissues to literally everyone, to making sure I had food and water in me, to keeping the entire ceremony and reception so perfectly on time. (I used to second shoot weddings - a perfectly on time wedding is a beautiful rarity) Jen was truly the MVP of our wedding. We could not recommend her enough. read more

We hired Jen as a month of coordinator and I don't know what I would've done without her. Jen surpassed my expectations as a wedding coordinator. Once it was her time to take the reigns, she ran with them! I never had to worry or stress about anything. If there was ever a bump in the road, Jen took care of it with no hesitation. She truly looks out for you and always has your back. For the day of, Jen had her amazing team there with her. Every single one of them was so polite, calm, and helpful. No one was every bossy or rushing us, they were always just at our side catering to our needs. They even put together all of our table decorations and centerpieces. The day went so smoothly and I couldn't be more grateful for Jen and her team. You will not regret hiring Campfire Events for your wedding. They will easily make it the best day ever read more

If you're looking for a highly detailed and organized, efficient, creative, composed, expert wedding planner, look no further! Jen So and the Campfire Events team are the BEST of the best! There honestly are not enough words to describe how amazing they are and how grateful I am to have found Jen. We hired Jen in 2019 for what we thought was going to be our big dream wedding at The Alexandria Ballrooms in 2020. We had a pretty specific vision for our big day, and I have to admit I am someone who is very detailed myself and can obsess over every minor thing, so I knew that finding the perfect planner was going to be crucial to our wedding planning. Jen came very highly recommended and from our first meeting with her, my husband and I were immediately impressed and put at ease by her warmth and calmness. She is someone who makes you instantly feel comfortable. She's patient and really takes the time to listen and understand your needs, and is also extremely responsive and ready to take care of business! When we realized that we would have to postpone our wedding due to the pandemic, Jen was there every step of the way to offer support and make helpful recommendations. Leading up to our new wedding date in September 2021, Jen was on top of every last detail of our 10-page itinerary to make sure everything was on point, from photography and DJ to rentals, catering, parking, hair and makeup schedules - you name it! She is always thinking ahead and making sure that all bases are covered so that you will be able to fully enjoy your wedding day and not have anything extra to have to worry about. She truly went above and beyond for us, even working late into the night one evening to personally create a custom monogram for our dance floor! She really does it all! This was just one instance of how she went out of her way for us. And did I mention that she did all of this with not one complaint while being nine months pregnant and due with her first baby any day now!? Talk about a boss lady! We had the most beautiful and fun wedding day, thanks in large part to Jen and the Campfire team. Having Jen's experience and guidance on our side made all the difference for us. Our wedding wasn't the easiest, as we had different locations, outfit changes, special surprises and more to manage, but Jen and her team were never rattled and they made sure that we and our guests only saw the beauty of it all. We got to have our dream wedding after all and it was so worth all the wait!! Hiring Jen was the most important and best decision we made for our wedding, without a doubt! Jen, I cannot thank you enough for being my bridal bestie over the past nearly two years! You were born to do this work and make wedding dreams come true! Like Gus said, we only wish you and your team could come with us everywhere we go! You're the best! Gus and I will forever remember you with so much gratitude when we look back on our amazing wedding, the best day of our lives! read more

Jen and her team from Campfire Events are truly AMAZING! We are beyond grateful and ecstatic with the service they provided. They truly went beyond and above to make our wedding day extra special. Jen has been with us from beginning to end - through the planning, execution and clean up. She coordinated with all our vendors promptly, executed our plans as we imagined, stepped up when we needed the support, and above all, worked with us through every step. Jen and her team made our wedding planning so much easier and we could not have imagined how it would have been without their expertise and professionalism. Our wedding day was indeed very unforgettable because of Campfire Events. Highly, highly recommended! read more

Campfire Events was one of the best decisions we could've made in regards to our wedding! Jen and her amazing team were beyond what we could've ever imagined and even expected from a wedding planner/coordination company. From the initial meeting, throughout the whole planning process leading up to, the day of, and even afterwards, Jen was so reliable and made the whole experience of planning a wedding so seamless and smooth. Her attention to detail is unmatched, and is a huge reason why planning a destination wedding was even possible! Any family member or friend of ours who got the pleasure to meet Jen or any of her assistants commented on how awesome their services were and how they felt so taken care of. It was an honour for us to have Campfire Events and specifically Jen and the assistants we had be apart of our wedding. read more

Jen and her team were PHENOMENAL! From the design of our mood board in picking out our colors, florals and theme, to helping us pick out different vendors, we have only amazing things to say about Jen. The whole planning process was a dream. Jen is so organized and was on top of everything. She gave us a very thorough timeline, budget sheet and so many lists to use to help get us to our special day. From our very first phone call, it was as of we had known Jen our whole lives. She came up with a theme on the spot and had so many wonderful ideas for us to use. And the actual day of the wedding was so much fun. If anything went wrong, we had no idea because Jen and her team were on it! The decor was beautifully laid out, the program and performances were executed perfectly and most importantly us and all of our guests had an absolute blast! Thank you so much Jen for the most unforgettable night. I highly recommend working with Campfire Events for your wedding, you will not regret it one bit. read more

I could say that Jen was our absolute favorite vendor to work with and that still couldn't cover how I feel about her. My husband and I originally met Jen at camp together. Cut to 10 years later and we're engaged, I knew that Jen was definitely the one I wanted to be our coordinator. She's very communicative, always responding within 24 hours (and often within an hour), she's flexible (keeping up with our seating chart changes right to the last day), and she's so calm and confident that whenever I felt too stressed out about something, she was always reassuring that everything would get handled. She's so organized, she's fun, she just knows her stuff. There's no one better, and seriously no one else you'd rather have in your corner. If you're reading this Jen - we love you!! - Andrew and Sarah read more

Jen and her crew were 100% professional. Jen was always available, responsive, aggressive when needed, a true advocate in every sense of the word. She was also a pleasure to work with. She was very knowledgeable, efficient, easy to talk to, and enjoyable to be around. I highly recommend Campfire Events for your wedding planning needs. They are the best!! read more

I recently had the pleasure of collaborating on an event with Jen of Campfire events. Her organizational skills were impeccable, which definitely came in handy for the complex wedding ceremony we were working on, which had a number of last minute changes. She and her assistants, Emily and Tammy, were very hands on, with constant communication with myself and other vendors, not just the day of, but even in the weeks leading up to the event. I felt confident that we were in good hands and that any little hiccups would be expertly handled. Thank you Jen! You made this event a joy to work on and I look forward to future collaborations! read more

From our very first meeting with Jen So & Campfire, my now husband-Oscar and I were so very impressed. She was sweet, funny and so professional all at the same time. We came to her with a bit of challenge- a smaller budget to work with and plans for a Christmas-Ballroom themed wedding. After explaining our circumstances & vision to her, she was immediately on her way, offering viable suggestions/help that instantly began to finesse our plans. From then on, she was available to us basically 24/7, always responsive, always willing to work out details, constantly checking-in to make sure we were on track and even jumping in to help us tie any & all loose ends. She made sure to connect with every single one of our vendors and maintained a sturdy line of communication with them so that we wouldn't have to. Jen, you're amazing!! On the day of, we can honestly say that her attention to detail along with the hands-on presence of her team-- totally made our day a lasting and beautiful memory. I was able to get dolled up, completely stress-free, able to enjoy the company of my bride tribe, all without a care in the world. My husband was able to do the same and enjoy time with his groomsmen. Its totally because of Jen So & Campfire that we were able to live in the moment and take our day in one experience at a time. To this day (our wedding having taken place on 12.2.18), we will never know all the behind-the-scenes leg-work that She & her team managed to take care of; and for this, we are forever grateful for it all. All of the preparation, the planning, the help in between and the perfect execution... from the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU, Jen So & Campfire for doing everything you did, allowing us to have the perfect wedding day! read more

Campfire Events - Wedding Planning Near Me

My husband and I got married last December and we had about a year and half for the planning process. We heard of Jen's company through our venue's recommendation list and seriously, hiring Jen to be our day-of-wedding coordinator was key in having such a smoothly executed wedding. Her professionalism, organizational skills and bubbly, friendly personality made the planning process a lot less stressful than it could've been. She helped us make decisions (the hardest part, LOL), recommended awesome vendors, and created such intricate timelines that saved us a lot of time. She also was great at following up in detail with our vendors and checked in with us often on finalizing details. Some people will say that you don't need a wedding coordinator, but honestly, you want to relax and not have a stressful wedding day--Jen So & her team can assure that! The actual week of the wedding for us was so hectic with planning and wrapping things up, especially cause I had a lot of DIY parts, but Jen and her team helped us string everything together. They helped us put together our seating chart display and even added last minute details with flowers around the space. Jen & her team were superheroes that day--they even had utility belts (ok ok fanny packs ;]) that had every emergency item you could think of (heck--she even super glued my wedding topper on the spot after someone had accidentally broken it!) Her team made sure we ate during cocktail hour and during dinner which was super nice and made sure we stuck to our flow of events without making it feel like a strict itinerary. Thank you so much for helping us execute the most amazing wedding we could imagine!!! read more

Before I even got engaged I knew from the get-go I would hire a full-on wedding planner. My husband knew and completely agreed, as I've planned and coordinated events and a few weddings in the past. Especially, since we lived in Michigan and were planning a SoCal wedding where all of our friends and family were. After our initial consultation with JenSo, my husband and I decided to go with her because we clicked. She's warm, calm, and got our jokes. She absolutely took care of us throughout our very long journey together, because I hired her late summer of 2019, and my wedding was in Dec.2020. As we all know now, that big wedding did not happen because of Covid-19. We really felt so blessed that we had her, especially during the pandemic. I cannot emphasize enough how much she helped us navigate in contracts, a lot of decision making, and overall reminding us of our original vision. She's patient, and always in your corner. I already knew she's amazing, but when you have a venue manager who keeps complimenting and praising your wedding planner, you know you found a great one. She helped us plan our micro-wedding on our original date 6 weeks out, because that's how last minute we made that decision. It was absolutely beautiful in my sister's backyard. And the very few guests who came kept saying how they didn't think it would look that great and all deck-out for a backyard wedding. Because we didn't want to start up planning unless we knew we could actually have the wedding in 2021, we didn't start wedding planning again until 6 months before the wedding. I did voice my worry about getting the right vendors we hadn't hired yet in our price range, but she reassured me that there's no need to worry. And she was right, I did not worry. We hired our Florist 6 weeks before the wedding, the DJ 4 weeks before the wedding, babysitters 2 weeks before the wedding, and I had a videographer I hired the year prior go MIA, and she found one for us who could give us almost the exact package at the same price who we hired 5 weeks before the wedding. And they were all top notch vendors in my price range. Honestly, it's hilarious how "last minute" we hired these vendors, considering I started with a mindset to hire everyone ahead of schedule. With JenSo, I never felt that I was competing against the myriads of wedding couples out there. My wedding weekend was intense, with a long morning and afternoon of tea ceremony with two different traditions on Friday, and then the Saturday wedding the next day, I never had to worry about anything. JenSo and her team were awesome, and they were super organized, calm, and happy for us. I wanted to feel calm, happy, and just focused on the many pockets of happy moments created that weekend, and I got that because Campfire Events made it happen for me. Hands down the best decision we made of our whole wedding planning. read more

We chose Campfire Events for our wedding at Alexandria Ballrooms and right off the bat, their attention to detail and ability to listen to what we wanted was apparent and a cut above all the other coordinators we had spoken too. We're Persian and decided to go with a non-Persian coordinator. Why? Because after our first call with our coordinator, Jen, we realized her knowledge and familiarity with both Persian traditions and our venue was greater than anyone else we had talked to. Even our vendors thanked Jen for her attention to detail and for how smooth everything went on the day of our wedding. For anyone else thinking they can do without a planner for their wedding, I was just like You. When we started planning our wedding, I saw a planner as an expense that we could avoid. Thankfully, I listened to my better half and hired Jen and her team. When we had to relocate our wedding to a backyard because of COVID, Jen came out and took measurements and turned them into a floor plan. She collected contracts and went over them in detail with us and then followed up on any details needed. She even kept track of the weather and had tent rentals on standby if we ended up needing them (it rained and hailed every day the week leading up to our wedding in LA). Choosing anyone else to coordinate our wedding would have been a big mistake. I would HIGHLY recommend this team to anyone and we'll be forever grateful for everything they did. read more

Jen So and her team at Campfire events went above and beyond to make our wedding day (and the events leading up to it) so special and stress free! My husband and I were incredibly impressed with how organized and professional Jen was throughout the whole planning process. If there were any vendor issues (vendors that I booked myself), Jen took care of it! I didn't even know about the fires she put out until my bridesmaids told me after the wedding. Our wedding party stated that they have never been so relaxed and stress free on the morning of a wedding! Even our guests commented on how great and organized the campfire events team was! We always heard that we would be too busy on our wedding day to truly enjoy it, but that was not true for us one bit. Jen made sure that we had private time to take in our special day, and also made sure we had time to actually enjoy the hors d'oeuvres, dinner, and cocktails that we spent so much time choosing. It was an absolute joy working with the one-and-only Jen So! read more

I can't begin to say enough about Jen!! I live in Texas and was planning a wedding in California. When I was looking for wedding coordinators there was a long list of factors I needed in my coordinator. Friends and family said my expectations were unrealistic and I'd have to budge in some areas. I refused! Yes, I was a picky bride and that made it all that much better when I met Jen and knew I could stop looking!! She not only met ALL my expectations, but she exceeded them! I feel like planning a wedding from out of state added an extra level of stress! Jen, from start to finish, was the most professional, punctual, helpful and organized vendor I worked with, without a doubt! She responded to all of my emails so quickly, so thoroughly, and even helped identify areas to focus on I would have never thought about! She met up with me at appointments, out of courtesy, never ever seemed irritated with endless emails I would send in the middle of the night, and accommodated me every. step. of. the. way!! She was soooo amazing I had multiple vendors reach out to me and praise her on being so great! They were all telling me things I already knew, but I was so happy to hear others felt the same! If you haven't booked a coordinator yet, do yourself a favor and stop looking! The level of detail and professionalism Jen will bring to your event will not be matched. She is on top of it!!! She remembered every detail of every conversations (and there were a lot). She was impressive to say the least! Huge thank you to you, Jen, and your team, for a wonderful experience. You are fantastic and you helped execute a perfect wedding for us! read more

First things first, if you only take away one thing from this review, let it be this: Hire Jen. You will not regret it. Hiring Jen was the best decision we made during our wedding planning process. Jen was our month of coordinator and our day of coordinator, and she and her team did a fantastic job! There are so many things that go into planning a wedding and successfully pulling one off, and I rapidly realized there was a lot we didn't know. Jen was so patient with us throughout the planning process, guiding us to where we needed to be while also filling in gaps we had missed. She made sure that everything was good to go before the wedding. During the last weeks leading up to the wedding, Jen was like a machine. She made sure EVERYTHING was handled and answered every single question we had. She was our biggest support during this time. Her patience, her confidence, and her skill throughout this process were a godsend. A few weeks before our wedding, it came to our attention that there would be a march and some major road closures near our hotel and our reception venue. Jen literally called the city to ensure that we would be able to get our vendors to our reception venue in time. She had backup plans for her backup plans. Without her, I don't know how we would have handled all of this. On the day of the wedding, Jen and her team showed up ready to go. They had headsets and walkie talkies and a game plan that made sure everything ran like clockwork! The one thing I didn't want to do at my wedding was to worry about anything other than getting married, and Jen is the reason that I was able to do that. This woman literally helped me put band-aids on my feet halfway through the night. I literally have no clue whether something went wrong during the wedding, and I know I have Jen and her team to thank for that. Honestly, we could not have done our wedding without Jen, and we will be forever thankful to her and her team. She is funny, personable, hardworking, and amazing at what she does. You will not regret bringing her into your wedding team. Jen makes difficult things seem straight forward, and stressful things seem fun. We would hire Jen a thousand times over, and you should too! read more

I was a guest/invitation designer at a wedding coordinated by Jen last weekend, and both my husband and I were extremely impressed by how seamless the events went! The wedding involved several venues (hotel, photo shoot locales, church, after party...), and Jen was there all the way making sure everything went smoothly. It was funny and reassuring to see how she was able to keep the bride and groom on track too amidst the busy schedule. If we ever decide to renew our vows or get married again (knock on wood!) I would definitely want to have Jen in charge! read more

Won't find a better coordinator anywhere! Campfire Events and Jen has proved time and time again that they were the right choice. The coordination, planning and execution of the wedding was flawless in every possible way. There was a major snafu. Morning of the wedding, one of the groomsman was sent the wrong color suit. Jen immediately took charge, arranged for the same suit to be ordered, picked up and delivered within an hour. That was a major accomplishment in itself, but the part that was most impressive was her calm, reassuring composure. At NO point during the debacle did it feel like it won't be solved. The happy bubbly character, calmness when faced with adversity and attention to detail proved time and time again that they were the right choice. You won't get better support and service elsewhere! Thanks Jen and team for everything! The wedding was EVERYTHING we wanted, and more, all because of you! Thank you! read more

Campfire Events is a five-star service and top-notch company. Jen and the team went above and beyond in making our wedding day the absolute best! I have been a part of many weddings and have experienced a lot of the good and bad with wedding coordinators and we feel so lucky to have had Campfire Events. A special shoutout to Jen So our day of coordinator, everybody needs a Jen in their life. She made the planning and wedding day so stress free and seamless. Highly organized, punctual, communicative and EVERY detail of our wedding was executed to perfection. I highly recommend Campfire Events, they are the friends you never knew you needed. They will make your wedding dreams come true. Thank you Jen for giving us a once in a lifetime experience! read more

Jen was sooo helpful!!! She went above and beyond what I expected and I can definitely say she went the extra mile. She was detail oriented, personable and really made me feel she wanted the best for us even though we were only requesting very basic services. My fiancé is quite and barely peeped a word in the telephone meeting, but after said "that was totally worth it!!!" That says a lot! I would recommend her hands down to anyone else. I feel relieved having had her feedback and knowing I can fall back on her if I need it in the future. Thank you!!! read more

I can't thank Jen So, the CEO of this wonderful company enough for how wonderful she and her staff handled everything. They are BEASTS!!! From helping me find vendors to fixing zippers and last minute bustling my dress. She truly goes above and beyond for her clients. The more I hear about the night the more I appreciate how incredibly hard she and her staff worked to create such a magical night for us. Every guest I encountered applauded how incredibly smooth the wedding was, and that is ALL thanks to Jen and her staff. I didn't feel a single hiccup! I've said it before, and I'll say it over and over again, she is truly the BEST and we are forever grateful . I almost want to start all over again, just to have the pleasure of working with her. We're going truly going to miss her upbeat spirit and exceptional orginizational skills. read more

I can't praise Jen and her team enough. They are absolutely amazing-professional, punctual, organized-everything that a wedding planner is supposed to be and much more. Jen goes above and beyond to make everything come together. We first hired Jen before the pandemic hit sometime in February of 2020. She came highly recommended with our venue, however, once the pandemic hit, we were no longer able to have our big dream wedding at the venue. Plans had to change and I was not willing to change our wedding date. Jen was so accommodating. Though she helped plan our first wedding at the original venue, she was kind enough to replan everything for a wedding at my parents' house. As a control freak, I wasn't sure if I could trust anyone planning and decorating on the day of the wedding while I was away to get my hair and makeup done but once I walked in and saw what they had done with my parents' house, I was blown away. It was perfection. Our night was truly a dream and Jen made it come true. Thank you times a million-I will forever appreciate all your hard work. read more

See all

Jen and her team are so awesome! Our wedding went smoothly, she responds to your email on a timely manner, and had so many great suggestions for our big day. She's so professional from day 1. We were able to truly enjoy our wedding completely worry free because of her and her team. They were able to adapt and accommodate on the fly to make our day absolutely incredible and seamless. We've already recommended her to our friends and family who are getting married soon and give her our highest recommendation possible. read more

Jen So is the wedding planning fairy godmother that I want everyone to have! Hiring Jen as our wedding planner was the best decision I ever made for myself, and it is the ultimate self-care gift that a bride (or every engaged couple) can have! When my fiance proposed, I knew I needed help because I didn't know how to even begin to plan. I heard about Jen So through word-of-mouth (because she is THE up-and-coming wedding-planner in SoCal), and we hit it off immediately in our phone conversation. After we decided to work together, I literally started calling her my "fairy godmother" because she anticipated everything wedding-related way for me: ahead of time, and with backup plans for possibilities I never knew existed. Basically, Jen let me know what I needed to do, when, how, and with what considerations to have in mind. She did a lot of the legwork behind-the-scenes so that when it came to my final decision-making, she had already gathered the information to help me re-assess my decisions to consider every possible angle so that I would have no regrets. In my case, she was 99% of the reason my wedding was as stress-free as possible-- it really was! Jen essentially planned for me, a destination-wedding since I lived away from our venue, and my husband and I were doing long-distance before we got married. Campfire events is really the best and I'll conclude with a few example to describe how much Jen goes out-of-the-way to make your wedding experience as incredible as possible. One day, she happened to be near my wedding venue for a personal appointment and was recommended to go to a restaurant that was supposed to be superb. She tried them out after hearing rave reviews and immediately texted me pictures, videos, and even catering estimates so that we could decide if we wanted to switch our rehearsal dinner to this place instead (they had better decor, portions, and dining options than what we previously planned). We ultimately decided to go with her recommendation and it was such a hit for our gigantic 30-person wedding rehearsal. We were able to sit outside under the stars and have an impeccable meal while being a few steps away from our hotel. If it weren't for Jen, who literally went the extra mile(s), we would have settled for our "good enough" rehearsal dinner venue rather than gone to the place that was amazingly cost-effective, close to our wedding site, and perfect for us and our families. Similarly, Jen voluntarily offered to make us our wedding sign using a mirror she had, and by craftily putting together our information so that we could have it at our wedding reception. This was all above-and-beyond her duties as our wedding planner! As for our wedding day, she had just gotten married 2 months before us, and knew first-hand what we might be needing as newlyweds on our wedding day (she planned for us to have some alone time, for example)! I can't rave enough about her and I consider her to be a friend after this process, so I'll conclude with this: if are fortunate enough to be able to afford a wedding planner, then DO IT ASAP because it is worth your mental health and sanity every step of the way. If you do not have the funds available, then this is really the gift to ask for (have your family/guests pool together this expense) because Jen So is THE godsend that you did not know you needed until you actually get her and her team! read more

Jen and her team made our wedding day feel so relaxed. She was so ON IT and did more than we expected as a Day of Coordinator. She was always two steps ahead of the planning and helped my husband and I feel very supported on our wedding day. If you are trying to find someone dependable and knowledgeable, I recommend Jen and her team 100 times over. read more

This is a long overdue review but their amazing work deserves the recognition. It really was a blessing that Jen and Jeannine helped us with our wedding planning because my wife and I were so stressed trying to figure out the steps needed after our engagement. Friends and family kept giving us conflicting advice which only made matters worse and we knew that professional help from experienced wedding planners would be required. We had meetings with various Wedding Planning vendors but once we met Jen and Jeannine, we instantly knew they were the ones for us. Their passion and genuine care for us to have a perfect wedding day was clearly apparent from start to finish. Every wedding is different as you can imagine and we had quite a few unique requests that they were able to fulfill with creative ideas that still remained within our budget (emphasis on - remained within our BUDGET). Jen was very organized and the result of that was a stress free wedding day where we got to have fun and live in the moment while Campfire Events focused on the details. She was responsive at all hours of the day and that really helped ease our concerns leading up to our wedding. It really was an honor to have Jen and her team with us on our wedding day because without them, we would have been a hot mess. read more
