Last night we had such a beautiful night at this dazzling home in the orange Estates blocks away from my house. The most enchanting home. I thought I was creative this place was sensational !We came here to celebrate 15 years of the Downey Conservancy which was established in 2010 made to protect all the rich history that comes with Downey. The event was spectacular Frank Sinatra music & twinkle lights, in the air. Beautiful flower arrangements and candle lit tables really set an elegant mood. Next to the pool a beautiful full bar, for all you're drinking needs . A little more to your right the Piazza is set with a delicious grazing table . charcuterie and pastries from my favorite the Tropicana! The house is open to wander in and look around. The uniqueness of this house ! I've always been obsessed with vintage and she sure is extra extraordinary at displaying it ! She's definitely my kind of girl. This house is also available for weddings. She has easily moved to the top of my list for a wedding planner! Makes me want to get married now! I just have to find a groom ! I left right as they started the ghost tour, but it was a beautiful night. Five star event #DowneyGirl. read more

Willow & Bloom Events - Because I'm a Downey girl! - Wedding Planning Near Me

Jennifer is the best wedding coordinator/planner, she has the absolutely most beautiful intimate wedding venue and is genuinely such a great person. All of our meetings were so helpful and her inventory had all wonderful antique pieces. Her vast experience of the wedding industry, design and planning made me feel so reassured she would bring such a beautiful touch to my wedding day and she did not disappoint. Everything was so much better than I could have imagined and she was consistently checking on my husband and I and communicating. All my guests were shocked when I would say this was her home and could not stop gushing on how it was so beautiful. Getting married at her garden is something I will never forget. Booking her beautiful garden as my venue was the best wedding planning decision I made. I also could not possibly forget- all my florals were designed and made by her and ohmygosh they were breathtaking. If I could give her more stars I would. read more

Jennifer is absolutely amazing. She was very hands-on and immediately understood the vision we were trying to bring to life. She added thoughtful ideas and small touches that tied everything together beautifully. The entire day went by seamlessly and flawlessly, and she truly elevated the look and feel of everything. She has such a great eye, which I believe comes from her background in interior design, and that made all the difference in executing the details perfectly. Beyond her talent, she is calm, positive, and just so sweet throughout the entire process. Her bright personality put us at ease and made us feel confident that everything would go smoothly. I loved how she took behind the scenes photos throughout the night to capture memories. She is incredibly kind and I am so grateful to have had her by our side. I would 100% recommend Jennifer to anyone who needs an awesome wedding coordinator!!!! read more

It was such a pleasure working with Jennifer! She is a gifted planner and a wonderful person. We knew from our first meeting that Jennifer was the right wedding planner for us. She is so kind and brings a genuine excitement and positivity to the entire planning and execution processes. In the lead up to the wedding Jennifer was thorough and detail-oriented, responding quickly to all of our emails and offering to call or text us whenever we needed questions answered. One of the best aspects of working with Jennifer was her creativity and expertise. We had a pretty clear vision for our wedding but Jennifer really helped us understand and plan for the details that helped our day go smoothly and look great. Our favorite aspect of working with Jennifer is how much she brings to the table. For our art deco disco wedding she brought a bunch of disco balls, table numbers, mirrors, and additional decor. Not only did this save us a lot of money, it made the wedding look beautiful! We had articulated a vision to Jennifer and she absolutely blew us away with how she brought it to life. By the time that we walked down the aisle, the whole venue looked beautiful and impressed all of our guests. Jennifer was also super supportive on other details, including designing all of the signage for our wedding! Finally, on the day of our wedding Jennifer was the perfect person to have on our team. She is awesome at informing all of the vendors and wedding party of important details so that things run smoothly. Most importantly, Jennifer walks a balance of keeping a tight schedule while never being pushy or making us feel pressured. She was always there at the perfect time to keep things moving but always with a warm smile and reminding us that it was our day and we could always change the schedule so that it felt right to us. We would recommend Jennifer's services to anybody looking for a wedding planner. She is reliable, has a great eye for design, and is an incredibly nice person.

I got married on 2/29/24 at The Oviatt in DTLA. To say the event exceeded my expectations would be an understatement. Everyone was blown-away! I was not as involved in the planning as my wife but everything I was involved in went exceptionally well, Jennifer was well organized and scheduled all appointments appropriately. From the décor to the flowers to the photos, Jennifer was always there with great ideas and insight and even used a few of her own decorations! The wedding day went flawlessly. No issues at all. Jennifer is the consummate event coordinator. We were both able to enjoy the day and the party and without Jennifer I just don't think it would have been anywhere near the once in a lifetime event that it was. Thank you Willow & Bloom! read more

Jennifer was one of the best choices I made for my July 2023 wedding. At first, I had only hired her as my florist, but just one month before the wedding my planner fell through and Jennifer came to the rescue! She guided me through all of last-minute planning and did an amazing day coordinating on the day of. Plus, of course, our decor and florals were so beautiful (exactly what I had in mind). I knew I could trust her with all of the little details, decor choices, and moving parts on the day of the wedding, so my husband and I were really able to step back and enjoy the day. Thank you, Jennifer! read more

When my fiancée and I decided to get married we knew exactly who we wanted to guide us in the right direction. From our first appointment with her, we knew we made the right decision! She brought a calmness and clarity to a ceremony and reception that can be rather hectic and chaotic at times. Her knowledge, her energy and great personality really set the tone for how our wedding plans and meetings with her were going to be moving forward. We appreciated her direction and her attentiveness to all the details we were looking for, for our ceremony and reception. We really enjoyed the chats and availability she offered us as our wedding date got closer. Being open minded about ideas we shared with her was important and she made us feel so comfortable. Her hard work, initiative, and caring meant so much to us. We feel blessed to have her on our team and she has become a special friend to us. Thank you, Jennifer! read more
