I am incredibly shy but I found it so easy to open up to Erica and she was mindful of this with regards to ceremony planning as well.

As an event professional it can be stressful creating an event that will be in such a public space, but Katie has an infectiously happy energy that made everyone want to talk to her about her display and her designs, and her aesthetic made photographing her creation fun for me as well!

She had experience with food truck weddings and had worked with Big Star before, which was one of the trucks we were looking into to cater dinner. We chose their month of coordination package and felt so relieved and excited when Nicole stepped in towards the end of June. Nicole really understood our vision from the beginning and we took a lot of her suggestions throughout the planning process. Throughout July, she handled all of our vendors and met with us a few times...was constantly checking in and making sure that we felt good about everything. It was so nice to know we had someone else to make sure we weren't forgetting about any of the little details! On the day of, I had two girls from her team with my bridesmaids and I when we were getting ready at the hotel. They made sure we were staying on time and helped us out in so many ways! Before the ceremony and during the reception, the rest of their team was so helpful too. They even packed up all of the food/alcohol leftovers and decor and into our car at the end of night! I was unsure about hiring a wedding planner at first, so we decided to go with the month of coordination and it was one of our best decisions! Made the day and month before so easy and stress-free. Would definitely recommend Jayne Weddings to others!
