Jennifer is absolutely the best in the business. We threw her quite a challenge with both a cross-cultural and European destination event and she was amazing! She found us a dream venue in Scotland and was able to book some of the most incredible vendors. I love that I was able to give her a vague vision and she brought it to life better than I could have expected. Highly highly recommend.
I cannot say enough amazing things about Jennifer and her team!! If you talk to anyone in the wedding industry, The Finer Things Event Planning is the best in the business! Her knowledge, organization, and professionalism is unmatched! I feel so blessed to have had the opportunity to hire Jennifer. She made the wedding planning experience as stress free as possible! I did not worry about a single thing on my wedding day and every detail was immaculate. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
Jennifer was absolutely wonderful to work with. She was extremely knowledgeable, always anticipated our next question and truly took the time to get to know us as a couple. She was reliable and consistently responsive. She also took the time to invest in our day and truly understand our vision. She made sure everything was perfect; she refused to settle for close enough - it had to be right. We were so lucky to have her and our special day would not have been as stress free and flawless without her. Would highly recommend her!!
Jennifer from “The Finer Things Event Planning” brought joy and efficiency to our wedding journey. With her upbeat personality, she made planning a delight. Her responsiveness, knowledge, and excellent esthetic taste ensured a stunning celebration. April, our wedding coordinator, was a calming force on the big day, contributing to the seamless flow of events. Together, they crafted a beautiful, stress-free experience. Grateful for their expertise in making our day truly special!
My wedding day was an absolute dream come true and that’s all thanks to the Finer Things Event Planning. I went into my wedding day only picking out my day, venue, dress and colors and giving Jennifer full planning on surprising me with the perfect day. My husband and I walked into our wedding reception in complete awe and admiration of everything the Finer Things Event Planning did to make our day the most perfect day there ever was. Everything was perfect and we couldn’t have envisioned or dreamed of a more perfect and beautiful day. We will forever be thankful and grateful for the Finer Things Event Planning, Jennifer and her entire team for planning the absolute dream wedding of a lifetime. I would use the Finer Things Event Planning over and over again for every event!
April and Jennifer exceeded expectations in overseeing our event. Their experience and professionalism in managing every detail helped us create a beautiful and seamless wedding celebration. They are extremely personable and easy to work with. I would highly recommend The Finer Things Event Planning!
Jennifer was incredible to work with throughout our planning process. She is so professional and organized but also cares personally about each of her couples. Her team was great to work with on our wedding day as well. Everything felt organized but still fun and enjoyable. She ensured that things ran smoothly and having her and her team meant that my husband and I, our bridal party, our families, and our guests could truly just enjoy the wedding. I highly recommend Jennifer and her team for any Columbus-area couple!
Jen was the MOST INCREDIBLE person to have by my side on my wedding day!! Our wedding would not have gone so smooth without her guidance and help. We had a full morning of Greek & Macedonian traditions, and she was able to make all of our events at multiple locations throughout the city be on time and run smoothly! She made sure I was calm and having the most perfect day of my life, and for that I cannot thank Jen more!
Even after the wedding she made sure to follow up with vendors and get everything squared away! I honestly did not have to lift a finger on the wedding day, and was able to enjoy it fully! Don’t think twice and BOOK Jen & team!
Thank you again, Jen for making our day a true fairytale!
Where do I even begin ?!?! Jennifer and the team at The Finer Things Event Planning truly are the best in the business - hands down. From the beginning of our wedding planning journey , we truly did not know where to begin - we reached out to a few wedding planning services here in Columbus but Jennifer's wealth of knowledge, expertise and professionalism are what drew us to her and her planning services. Then throughout the journey Jennifer was truly there to make the event that we wanted and was so so helpful, she knew what vendors would work for us !! Plus just an overall joy to work with , so nice and made us feel so comfortable along the way. She truly took our vision and made it into a reality beyond our wildest dreams! She took the brunt of all of the stress and craziness and made us feel totally at ease. As an example ; our wedding cake bakery closed a couple of weeks before our wedding and by the NEXT day she had a baker ready to make the same cake at the same price - just shows she has deep and strong contacts in the wedding industry that she is able to lean on.
Then the week / day of - I truly can't imagine going through the day and not having her there to guide us and help us with the logistics and the overall design. Because of her meticulous planning we knew exactly where to be and when and everything went off according to plan! Walking into the reception the day of my wedding will live as a core memory - truly was magical and insanely beautiful , it was all a testament to Jennifer , her team and all the wonderful vendors that she engaged for us.
Can't say enough amazing words about Jennifer and The Finer Things Event Planning - would recommend to anyone who is looking for the best planning & design services out there!!
One of our best wedding planning decisions was hiring Jennifer at The Finer Things Event Planning. We were in the best of hands with Jennifer. She is organized and detail-oriented and made our ideas come to life for our wedding day. As a bride that has a demanding work schedule, Jennifer was supportive every step of the way and made wedding planning a stress-free experience. Jennifer gave suggestions and coordinated all of our vendors and it gave us comfort that Jennifer knew all of these vendors and they were all fantastic. I can't say enough amazing things about Jennifer and her team at the Finer Things Event Planning!
Jennifer and her staff were amazing. They were able to coordinate all the vendor's so we could relax and have fun. I can't imagine doing an event with her!!! She saved us time and money and made sure there were no issues. Very organized and respected in the industry. She solved problems before they existed. I would recommend her to anyone.
I truly cannot say enough good things about Jennifer & The Finer Things Event Planning! Jennifer is the absolute BEST and made our entire wedding planning process completely stress-free while also pulling off our dream wedding.
Jennifer is organized, attentive, creative, so easy to work with and always made herself available for calls, meetings, emails, & texts – anything we needed!
Being an out-of-town bride planning a Columbus wedding, Jennifer was a huge asset since I couldn’t be in person for everything. She made good use of my time whenever I was in town so we could knock out all of our planning needs and I still had time to enjoy with my friends and family.
Jennifer was insanely helpful at guiding us through the full planning process and connecting us with all of the best vendors. Every vendor she recommended to us was amazing and it was so reassuring knowing she already has relationships with each of the vendors and was well versed in how they all operated.
As far as wedding design, Jennifer knew exactly the vision we were going for and completely brought it to life our wedding weekend! She worked her magic and ensured every single detail fit our vision. Jennifer had amazing and super creative suggestions for everything from table design to our grand entrance, which all ended up being some of our favorite and most complimented parts of our wedding. The design was so cohesive, and she thought of everything! She made our wedding even better than we were dreaming it would be!
The best part was heading into the wedding weekend and getting to truly enjoy spending the time with my friends and family because I knew Jennifer had EVERYTHING handled.
We can't say enough good things about Jennifer! To start, she is an absolute expert, and her knowledge, connections and experience were invaluable. We loved every vendor that she recommended to us, as well. There are a million tiny details that go into wedding planning and Jennifer has thought of all of them and knows how to make them perfect. Her creativity is unmatched, and whenever we mentioned wanting to do things less traditionally, she always met the challenge with enthusiasm and came up with some incredibly beautiful and unique ideas. She never made us feel like we were being difficult or unreasonable, even when we had some unconventional requests. She told us in our initial consultation that she wanted our wedding to feel very uniquely "us", and she more than delivered. We were blown away by her thoughtfulness and attention to detail, and we appreciated her input that was helpful without ever trying to pressure us to do things one way or another. Throughout the entire planning process, she was outstanding to work with. She's very responsive and available, she accommodated our tricky work schedules when it came to planning calls and vendor meetings, and she was just so much fun to work with! We are bummed that our time working with her is over! She was excellent support and would follow up with vendors as many times as necessary until we were comfortable and excited about every detail. She was also great about just checking in with us to make sure we were feeling good about everything throughout the process. While we had ideas of what we did and didn't want, we didn't always have clear visions, but she found ways to take our ideas and make them really spectacular. The entire wedding felt very personalized and unique, and so stunning and elegant. She really gets to know her clients very personally and has a talent for translating that into an event that encapsulates them perfectly. Finally, the entire planning process and especially the day of were so easy, both for us and for our families. Jennifer handled every detail and made sure our day was absolutely perfect. If anything went wrong, we never knew it, and it was so great not having to stress or worry about anything the whole weekend because we knew Jennifer had it all covered. She's the best, and we can't thank her enough for helping us plan the most beautiful and perfect day!
We worked with Jennifer from The Finer Things Event Planning and had a phenomenal experience. Jennifer is extremely experienced, helpful, and organized. She has fantastic relationships with all of the vendor and was extremely helpful at narrowing down endless lists to the few "best" options. With all of the decisions required in wedding planning, this really helped my stress and gave me comfort that I was making the right choices. She did an excellent job of bringing our vision to fruition while layering in suggestions and improvements - it was truly the wedding of our dreams. On the weekend of the wedding, I knew all logistics were handled so we could focus on enjoying ourselves and living in the moment. I cannot say enough great things about Jennifer - she was the best decision I made for our wedding!
Highly recommend working with Finer Things - I am a very organized person & initially thought I would do the planning on my own but I am so glad I chose to work with her. Having someone keep everything moving along was invaluable. Especially helpful on wedding day/wedding weekend- I didn’t have to worry about a thing and could enjoy every moment.
Jennifer made the planning process so easy and fun! She had such an organized step by step process of what needed to get done and when that I never once felt overwhelmed, and she was so helpful when I wasn’t sure of a decision. I can’t recommend her enough! our wedding went so smooth and we were able to enjoy every bit of it without a worry!
I am Seth from Seth and Beth Wedding Photography. We have had the pleasure of working with Jennifer and her team from The Finer Things Event Planning. Her attention to detail and professionalism help couples have the best wedding days. We appreciate the extra effort she puts into making sure all of the wedding vendors are on the same team. Look no further for our luxury wedding. TFTEP is what you are looking for.
We really cannot recommend Jennifer and her team highly enough. Jennifer is creative, detail-oriented, flexible, and very organized, expertly guiding us through 18 months of wedding planning. We loved every single vendor we worked with, and every day since the wedding have gotten a comment from one of our guests about how beautiful, well-executed, and fun our event was. The highest praise we can give is that the week and day of the event were an absolute breeze, allowing us to focus on each other and our friends and family.
Our wedding day really was the best day of our lives, and we owe so much of that to Jennifer.
Working with The Finer Things Event was a game changer. Jennifer is professional, calming, and makes anything happen. She is so detail oriented and truly makes your vision come to life. She did so much work behind the scenes to make our families lives easier during a chaotic planning period. She was prompt on all communications and goes above and beyond. When we had road blocks on the day of the wedding Jennifer swooped in and had plan a,b & c all lined up. I can’t say enough good things about The Finer Things Event.
We couldn't have been in better hands than with Jennifer. She went above and beyond to make sure every detail of the day was taken care of. She helped us find vendors we needed and coordinated with them all. We had a large wedding that spanned the entire day and I truly couldn't have pulled it off without her. She is timely, organized, and so sweet to work with.
If you want the best of the best wedding planners in the industry, look no further then Jennifer at The Finer Things Event Planning. She is the most talented, organized, detailed oriented, visionary, and experienced person in town, and she is wonderful to work with. Jennifer brings solid, strong relationships with all the key vendors across all aspects of the wedding to orchestrate a perfect, seamless and stress free day. As my wife and I rehashed the entire wedding weekend, we both said we didn't have a single bit of stress the entire weekend... only joy and happiness while celebrating our daughter and her new husband. Jennifer and her team receive all of that credit. Every detail was planned so that we could relax and enjoy the day. She works with her clients to create their vision for the day and she executes to ensure that vision becomes reality and is both special and unique. As our weekend unfolded, we saw that special and unique vision everywhere we looked. Hiring Jennifer was by far the best decision we made. There is a reason that engaged couples want a "Finer Things" wedding. They are perfect.
Jennifer is by far the best wedding planner you could hire for your wedding! She made our day so wonderful and seamless. She is kind, detail oriented and incredibly professional and truly made our wedding the most special and beautiful day.
Jennifer, we could “knot” have done it without you!!! You went above and beyond to make sure all our wedding plans executed exactly as envisioned, even starting the coordination services months before our big day! Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!! From super helpful recommendations (i.e. best hotel blocks in the area, Etsy vendor suggestions for wedding goods, etc), to managing everyone on our wedding day to ensure things ran smoothly, you were the reason our day went perfectly!!! I have already, and will continue to recommend you to everyone I know. If you are reading this review as a bride or groom to be, do it - book The Finer Things Event Planning because you will be so happy and thankful that you did! :)
If you are thinking about hiring a planner, look no further. Jennifer at Finer Things is beyond amazing. She went above and beyond anything I could have asked for in a wedding planner. She will be with you every step of the way to ensure your day is exactly as you want it to be. I didn’t stress a single thing the day of my wedding because I knew with confidence that Jennifer was there. My wedding was all I dreamed of and more, and most of the credit goes to Jennifer. Hands down the best money we spent!
Jennifer, thank you SO MUCH! You outdid yourself with your wedding!!!! At just a 2 month notice you were able to make all of our dreams come true, we still have no idea how you made it happen- LOL!
You were extremely professional, patient and constantly stayed on top of everything!
You made sure everything ran smoothly from the preparations to the day of the wedding (even fixing my train before I walked down the aisle!)
If we could describe superwoman you would be it!!! 100% worth the investment!!! We will and have been recommending you to everyone we know!!!!!
Thanks again!
Tina and Shay
Our wedding day was perfect and exceeded all our expectations thanks to Jennifer and the Finer Things Event planning. We had our hearts set on having a June wedding, and so Jennifer helped us plan the wedding in only 6 months, yet every detail was attended to with great detail. She answered so many texts and emails from us throughout the planning process, helped our vision for the day come to life, and provided a peace of mind that we had a professional who genuinely cared about our wedding day. My husband, my mom and I were all able to enjoy the wedding because we knew that Jennifer had carefully gone through every detail with us beforehand and we had the confidence that if something went wrong she would be there to help fix it. We could not have planned our wedding without the Finer Things Event planning and we are so grateful to have trusted Jennifer with such an important day in our lives!
I can’t even put into words how amazing Jennifer is. To plan a wedding to begin with is difficult, to plan a wedding during COVID is a phenomenon in and of itself. Jennifer never missed a beat. She had back up venue options ready before I had even considered moving the venue. She secured all our vendors for our second date and helped make moving things around seamless. Most importantly, she helped us plan a safe and awesome event that was true to my original vision. I can’t say enough wonderful things another Jennifer...she made my day absolutely perfect.
Jennifer and TFTEP helped us plan our first daughters wedding in 2018. We were beyond impressed and decided of course to have her plan daughter #2’s wedding. Original wedding date was April 25 2020...after COVID Jennifer quickly got us re booked for September 4, 2020. That was a feat in and of itself to get all vendors and Bride and Groom together AGAIN in same date. Shortly before new wedding date we found ourselves scrambling to change venues..another challenge met and accomplished with the help of Jennifer and her team! Throughout the entire planning process, in the days leading up to and on the day of,Jennifer was always onestep ahead of us in her planning and anticipating how things might or might not proceed and she was there making sure whatever needed to happen happened to keep things moving beautifully! Jennifer and her amazing team of vendors made our daughter and son in laws vision come to life in spite of the twists and turns of this wedding season! She gave both families the best gift ever by managing everything so that we could take in every moment of the day and truly enjoy the celebration bringing our two families together. Our entire family has come to benefit from and appreciate Jennifer Kontomerkos’s professionalism and we also consider her an honorary member of our family! Her team deserves praise as well. Dalay Ket Florals, KimberlyPotterf Photography, Prodigy Video, The Paper Vow, Conspiracy Band, Full Face Artistry, Michelle Willoughby & Carries Sugar Buzz. They each played such a special part in our day and Jennifer connected us to each one of them! Any Bride and Groom would be lucky to have Jennifer and The Finer Things Event Planning heading up their wedding planning team!
We found Jennifer through a friend who got married the year before us, we had been to the wedding at every detail was so beautiful. From the start, Jennifer is so incredibly organized and detail oriented. Every vendor that we booked would comment on how they love working her weddings because everything runs so smoothly. Of course planning a wedding in 2020 was not smooth! Our original date was in June, when we started discussing rescheduling, Jennifer spoke to our vendors and gave us the dates that we'd have available. When we made the decision to postpone, within 24 hours Jennifer had moved everything and I had all the new contracts in my email ready to go. I really don't know what we would have done without her! The day of our wedding went so smoothly, every second of the timeline was well planned, everyone knew where to be, and there was scheduled downtime so I never got super stressed or hectic. It was honestly such a relaxed day! Thank you so much Jennifer, you are absolutely fantastic, such a gem and we were so lucky to have you!!
Jennifer at The Finer Things Event Planning is AMAZING! She has planned all of my sisters weddings and most recently mine. Each wedding has been truly magical! Her attention to detail is incredible and her talent for planning events is unmatched by any other planner. We can’t thank her enough for everything she has done for our family. I would recommend her services to anyone planning an event. Trust me, she’s worth every penny!
Jennifer was truly amazing! From the beginning to the end she was simply perfect. She is kind, professional, and beyond organized. If you are thinking about hiring a wedding planner I would suggest her without any hesitation! She has amazing relationships with many vendors, which truly speaks to her talents. She made our vision for everything come to life. From hair, makeup, food, florals, and decor--everything was perfect! She went above and beyond in every way! Thank you for everything, Jennifer!
Before my daughter got engaged, I knew of only one mother of the bride who described planning a wedding as stress-free and fun even. That was the experience I wanted! My friend told me about Jennifer and on the day my daughter got engaged, I called Jennifer too. My daughter’s wedding was everything we wanted and more! The planning and day of were absolutely stress-free and fun for us as mother and daughter. I have never met a more organized professional or one who is so highly regarded by everyone she works with. We were truly able to enjoy our once in a lifetime wedding experience to the fullest because of Jennifer’s expertise and attention to detail. She makes everything easier and more beautiful than you can possibly imagine, she is creative in so many ways, and she is quickly responsive to any questions. I can recommend Jennifer without reservation, and I wish I could do it all again!
Let’s just say every bride needs a Jennifer! I truly don’t have enough words to describe how amazing she is at her job. Every detail was executed, every schedule was perfect, and I had zero stress on the biggest day of my life. Jennifer spent hours with my family talking details, ideas, when things needed to be done, and how to throw the best event for my husband and I, our family, and friends. Even when I made mistakes on my guest list (which does happen) she looked over everything I sent her. Thank you for being amazing and making my dream wedding a reality! There is no way a review can even describe how we feel about what all she did for us!
From the minute we got engaged we knew we were going to hire a wedding planner and we’re so glad we chose Jennifer! Her professionalism and attention to detail made for a beautiful weekend. We had a large wedding with a lot of out of town guests and we wanted to make sure they all felt welcome the entire time they were in Columbus. She helped us plan a full weekend of activities including the rehearsal dinner, ceremony, reception and morning after brunch, walking us through the entire planning process and recommending amazing vendors all along the way. She was accommodating of our busy work schedules and was always available to listen to our ideas and answer any questions we had. We’re so grateful for everything Jennifer did to make our weekend one we will absolutely never forget!
Working with Jennifer is a no brainer! Her impeccable taste and attention to detail throughout the planning process put me at ease the entire year and a half leading up to the wedding and especially on the day-of. From beginning to end, our wedding day/weekend was absolutely perfect. My friends & family are still talking about it 6 months later.
We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding planner! Our entire experience with Jennifer was stress free thanks to her! Our wedding day was perfect! If you are considering getting a wedding planner then get Jennifer. You won’t regret it!
Where do I even begin? Jennifer is quite simply amazing. Choosing her as our full service wedding planner was the single best and most important decision we made when planning our wedding. She is without a doubt a class act. She pays meticulous attention to detail, eliminated nearly all of the stress of wedding planning, and she planned the wedding of our absolute wildest dreams. She goes above and beyond with planning and the ease of communication is unmatched— answers all emails, text messages, and phone calls without hesitation. She even went completely out of her way to come to my final dress fitting to learn my bustle as all my close friends and family are out of state.
Our wedding day was honestly perfect. It was the best day of our lives, and it was quite literally the most beautiful wedding any of our friends and family have ever seen — it was all because of Jennifer and her unsurpassed expertise. We could not have done any of it without her thoughtful guidance and careful coordination. When she recommended a vendor, we had no doubt that they would be the best of the best simply because she was recommending them. Every single vendor she recommended was phenomenal, and they were all such a delight to work with. With her as our team leader, our wedding day was absolutely stress-free. She created a magnificent timeline, and she orchestrated the day flawlessly. Jennifer also provided the decor for our wedding reception, and it was nothing short of spectacular. I have no doubt that she is the best and most qualified wedding planner, and we recommend her to anyone planning a wedding. She is worth her weight in gold. Thank you so much Jennifer.
Once I met with Jennifer, I knew she was our "it" person. It was one of the best decisions regarding the planning of this special event. She is professional, kind, organized, knows her role and can laugh with you regarding some wild vision you might have thought of for the reception. She know how to let you take the lead and then how to reel you in for reality. She was the reason my daughter and new son-in-laws' wedding day was flawless. She is worth her weight in gold. She deserves 10 stars!!!!!
We had the best experience with Jennifer and TFTEP! She was very organized and thought of every detail that I would never have considered if it weren’t for her! She took so much of the stress away and we were able to fully enjoy the wedding and planning process!
Hiring a wedding planner was a smart decision, hiring The Finer Things Event Planning was the best decision! I could go on and on with a list of the awesome things Jen and her team did for our wedding. Jen streamlined the entire process and was able to make the day of our wedding such a stress-free experience. Leading up to the day of our wedding Jen coordinated options for us for every vendor and facilitated our vision in every way possible. She made the entire process stress-free and easy to navigate. I was planning my wedding in a city I wasn't familiar with while in the chaos of Law School and Jen made it a breeze. Jen worked with vendors she was familiar with while also implementing local vendors from my hometown that I requested. She was always organized and professional while also being fun, friendly and making me feel like a close friend. She always had every detail I was wanting under control! Jen did an amazing job at sourcing specific ideas I was wanting for my vision and giving me ideas for things I wasn't sure on. She took care of all our rentals, scheduling and all the behind details you couldn't even imagine. On top of all the things leading up, Jen was an absolute angel on our wedding day. TFTEP team seamlessly set up an amazing and stunning ceremony space, while also flipping the entire space in just an hour to look completely transformed for our reception. Jen and her team took care of everything the day of and made it so myself, my family and my bridal party didn't have a single worry. it was the best feeling being surrounded by my bridal party and my mom especially without the anxiety of what was happening while we were trying to get ready. The day ran so smoothly knowing Jen and her team had the final details under control. When my cake fell Jen and Karen at the Hilton ran to Whole Foods and came back with the cutest impromptu cake so my husband and I had something to cut. This is just one of the many many wonderful things Jen and her team took care of. I can't say thank you enough to TFTEP!!!
There are two decisions when it comes to a wedding planner. First, should you even have one. Second, who to pick. At first, we weren’t really sure we wanted or needed a planner, but once we met with Jennifer it was clear she was exactly what we needed to ensure our planning be made less stressful, our wedding day run smoothly, and all of our wedding visions and wishes come true!! 20/10 recommend Jennifer from Finer Things Event Planning! Jennifer has been doing this for years and knows exactly what it takes to make your vision come to life. She knew the perfect vendors for everything – from florals, to hair and makeup, to all the rentals you don’t even know that you need. She also helps to make sure everything stays within budget!! We had a very specific look and pattern, and she called dozens of places to find what we needed. Every detail was immaculate. We are so grateful we chose Jennifer and you will not regret having such an experienced planner in your corner!
Hiring Jennifer was hands down the best decision I could have ever made. I spent a of time researching wedding planners, so if you're reading this and you're still deciding--take it from me, CHOSE JENNIFER!! She made everything so incredibly easy and fun for me. 6 months before my wedding, I moved out of town and started a new job. Because of Jennifer, I didn't once worry about also having to plan a wedding on top of all of that. I had visions in my head of what I wanted my wedding to look like, but somehow Jennifer made it even more beautiful and magical than I could have ever imagined. Every single vendor she picked went above and beyond my wildest dreams. My wedding looked like something straight out of Pinterest--I was in awe. Not only was the entire day beautiful, but she made sure that it all ran smoothly and I never once had to worry about a single thing. There aren't enough words to describe all that she did, how wonderful she was to work with, and how she made my wedding day the best day of my life.
We could not have been more impressed, pleased, and downright thrilled with the all the work The Finer Things Event Planning and Jennifer put into our wedding. My wife and I routinely commented to each other before, during, and after the big day that hiring her and her team as our wedding planner was hands-down the single best decision we made in the entire process. Simply put, our wedding was absolutely perfect and the best day of our lives, and without a doubt it was because of Jennifer. From start to finish, she was always readily available, answering countless text messages and emails at all hours of the day/night, and working around our busy schedules for our planning meetings. In terms of the actual planning and decision making, Jennifer was amazing at interpreting our varying range of opinions, tastes, and inspirations (sometimes as simple as a single Instagram post) and turning it into a concrete decision consisting of a manageable set of great options while working within our budget. She nailed the delicate balance of providing plenty of guidance (which was usually sorely needed) without overly driving us towards decisions we may not have preferred. She was always upfront with us and never afraid to share strong stances on topics, and yet we still felt that every decision was our own. Jennifer provided a great deal of financial value in the sense that we saved money on pretty much every vendor we used because of her stellar relationships with them. However, greater than any monetary return was the peace of mind she provided throughout the entire process. With Jennifer, you knew every vendor she recommended would be spectacular. You knew all the many decisions that needed to be made would be discussed, detailed, and decided with the upmost attention, and even more importantly, be done so when they needed to be. You knew that all the wedding stakeholders (family members, wedding party, etc) would be provided all the information, guidance, and in some cases personality management required, regardless of the wildly varying types of personalities involved. You knew that the day of the wedding, she would be the first one there and the last one to leave, providing minute-by-minute coordinating and ready to handle any of the uncertainties that were certain to occur. Ultimately, you knew you were not just getting a wedding planner, but a close friend who was personally invested in the success of your big day and your happiness. I could go on and on about Jennifer’s impeccable style, professionalism, and drive. We could not thank Jennifer enough for her efforts and we recommend her to anyone even thinking about getting married. Thank you Jennifer!!!!
You absolutely cannot go wrong with Finer Things Event Planning. Jennifer knew the perfect vendors for our budget and style, and always had great communication between all of us to make sure our day came together perfectly! We were planning a wedding in the Columbus area from out of state and she was always very flexible on days/times to meet with us and would never turn down an extra meeting if we felt like we needed it. Although her entire team was great, we didn't meet them until the day of our wedding, and I loved that we worked exclusively with Jen through the entire planning process. Her attention to detail is amazing- she will make sure every single thing you could possibly think of is taken care of. I distinctly remember being a total ball of nerves and slightly panicking at our rehearsal over small things that I had forgotten and she was so calm, cool, and collected about whatever it was (I can't even remember at this point) that it set my mind at ease and I knew she was going to have everything where it needed to be. This lady can handle anything you throw at her and turn it into something even better than expected. Seriously, pick her. You won't be disappointed!
I cannot say enough nice things about Jennifer and her team. Whenever people asked me how wedding planning was going, I could easily answer that I was enjoying it because Jennifer took all the stress out of it. She kept us on task by reaching out every so often with a decision or 2 we needed to make, the deadline and friendly reminders when we needed them.
She has an incredible network on vendors she works with here in Columbus and her powers of coordination are top notch.
Not only is she coordinating, but also doing the work. I would see instagram posts of her staining decor items or designing the name and table board. She is also creative in coming up with ways to wow your guests, like a champaign swing, a round bar (which was a stunner), roaming cocktails, ombre seating assignment board and so much more.
She keeps her cool and yours, too. At the rehearsal dinner, it down-poured. But she kept everyone calm and organized, switching things up to accommodate the weather. Then on the day of the wedding, it was so hot and humid and her family was out helping us with chairs and setup. She gives her all to make your day incredibly special.
I can't recommend Jennifer highly enough. She will make your wedding planning a breeze and your wedding magical!
From the day we contracted with Jennifer, she is full of life and a bundle of energy never ceased to impress us with her capabilities of bringing her ideas to the table. Her follow through was amazing from the start and up to the last minute prior to the wedding; and on Wedding day, Jennifer had total control of every detail we could think of. In short, Jennifer is the kind of person who would put her heart in her planning while providing an ease of mind at times of tension. It would be a pleasure to recommend Jennifer to anyone who desires delegating the duties of a wedding occasion while celebrating the best memories of the day.
Jennifer was an absolutely top-notch wedding planner from our "brainstorming phase" through fastidious execution of our custom-built backyard wedding. Jennifer took every bit of stress out of wedding planning (a very impressive task) by gently reminding us of upcoming due dates for our decisions/tasks and constantly awing us with her unique and creative suggestions. Despite the many moving parts of our event-packed wedding weekend, Jennifer perfectly executed every minute detail of our plan, making our wedding PERFECT. Can't speak highly enough of Jennifer - you must hire her!!!
I wish I could give more than 5 stars! Jennifer was the best decision we could have ever made. She made the whole process so easy, I kid you not our day was perfect! My now husband and also live out of state and it was not problem for her. We never had to worry about a thing. If there was ever anything to worry about we would have never known because shes always 1000 steps in front of you. Jennifer put us in contact with the best possible vendors, we loved everyone we worked with. Jennifer truly became a third parent to us in this process, we miss her already. She's available any time you need her and so accessible. I recommend her to everyone I can. If you want to be stress free and truly enjoy your wedding, Jennifer if your gal!
Looking back, hiring Jennifer (TFTEP) was one of the BEST wedding decisions we made. She is the absolute professional, while caring and personable at the same time. She only works with the best, so we never had to second guess our vendors or worry that something would fall through the cracks. She made it easy to actually enjoy planning our big day!
Very detailed oriented and guides you every step of the way!
Jennifer of The Finer Things Event planning was the best decision we made in our wedding planning process! Jennifer's relations with every vendor in Columbus made things so easy - and any questions we we had for our vendors were a quick text away with Jennifer. She was very easy to communicate with and quick to respond to us. Everything about our wedding including all the details were so perfect. We had a larger size wedding and wedding party, and not a minute was off on the timeline on the day of our wedding- the day went so smoothly! I was so overwhelmed with admiration of all the details of our reception when I saw it all put together- our head table and the cake table, all the center pieces, table settings, bar area, and every little detail were all so dreamy and glamorous. Jennifer created the look and feel I had envisioned and truly brought it to life. My husband and I were able to relax and enjoy our wedding day without having to worry about anything! We felt so lucky to have Jennifer and her team by our side throughout the whole process. Do yourselves a favor and hire Jennifer from TFTEP!!!
Where do I even start... to say that we could not have have had such a flawless wedding day without Jennifer and her team would have been the understatement of the century! From our first meeting to our wedding day, Jennifer was with us every step of the way whether through countless emails, text messages, and phone calls to in person meetings with me as well as meetings with a variety of vendors. She was so organized, professional, and thoughtful throughout the entire process.
She helped keep the planning process running so smoothly by recommending vendors I had yet to book, setting up planning meetings with vendors, and by providing me mini-deadlines to easily accomplish all of our to-dos way in advance of the wedding so that all that was left to do was try and relax before the big day!
On our wedding day, Jennifer was a complete rockstar. Prior to, she created a very detailed timeline of the day and she helped everyone stick to it. She kept things running smoothly, helped coordinate the set up and tear down, ensuring my family and I had nothing to worry about, allowing us to really enjoy the day. We even had some tourists stop through on the wedding day to observe (minutes before I was to walk down the aisle) and I had NO clue about it thanks to Jennifer.
Booking TFTEP was the absolute best decision and best money we ever spent!
Jennifer is the best wedding planner in Columbus! She is so organized, professional, and pays attention to every detail! She helped me with my vendors to all the last minute decisions! I was able to relax on my wedding day because I knew she had everything under control! She helped me achieve the wedding of my dreams! The room was beautiful!! Thank you Jennifer for everything!
If it was possible to give Jennifer and her team 20 stars I would! She is absolutely amazing and went above and beyond to help make our day perfect! We planned our wedding from across the country, which was no easy endeavor. However, every time we would talk to or meet with Jennifer, my husband and I would thank our lucky stars that she was on our team! Working with her was the best decision we made throughout the entire process.
She is organized, efficient, and incredibly knowledgeable about the wedding industry. She made vendor recommendations, scheduled the entire weekend, and kept me sane throughout the whole process. We also partnered with her for decorations and she made our venue look absolutely stunning!
I found Jennifer by way of referral and would refer her to any and every one. If Jennifer is free for your wedding date, book her now....you will be so incredibly happy that you did!!
Jennifer was the best wedding planner ever!! She took away all of the stress of planning a wedding. She always told me when it was time to make specific appointments - and she would make them for me. She was easy to communicate with a responsive through the entire process. I think the best part was the week of my wedding - I literally did nothing and Jennifer assured me that she had everything taken care of. On the night before and day of my wedding, Jennifer orchestrated everything perfectly. I had the perfect wedding day, with everything and everyone running on time, thanks to Jennifer. Also, my wedding was absolutely gorgeous, and it was all thanks to Jennifer and her help in picking the best vendors for me, decorations, etc. etc. I would recommend Jennifer 1 million times over to anyone planning a wedding in the Columbus area!!
Jennifer did a wonderful job helping us to bring together the best venders in Columbus! All of the people were the top of the line and stayed within our budget. She made my job as the bride effortless and fun. I had the wedding of my dreams thanks to her!
For you brides out there - The Finer Things Event Planning was one of the best decisions I made for our wedding!!! (Really, it truly was!)
From the moment I met Jennifer, I was extremely excited to work with her. She was classy, professional, she listened to me go on and on- and I truly felt she heard and shared my vision of wanting a classy wedding with a splash of fuschia. As a project manager for a living, I was concerned about losing control of my wedding plans if I used a planner, but my experience could not have been more of the opposite.
She shared my excitement for the fun things like colors, linens, the lighting.... and even better she offered the true honest feedback I needed to hear on wild ideas I had (thank goodness!) She cared about my budget and always had options and different routes to explore. Her experience shown through every selection we made together!!
I truly had that magical moment the minute I walked into our venue as a married woman with my husband. It was MORE BEAUTIFUL than I ever, ever could have hoped - she truly knocked it out of the park with classiness, sparkle and the fuschia color I dreamed of!! And the pictures are out of this world to prove it (can't believe it was our wedding, looks like a magazine!)
The biggest mistake I made from my wedding planning was not choosing The Finer Things Event Planning until after I had chosen my venue. I completely see the value Jennifer brought to our experience and if I had it all over to do again, I would choose her FIRST, with her guidance of venue selection from day one.
If you are on the fence of thinking you can plan your wedding yourself, my hope for you, Sweet Bride-to-Be, is that you go with this Jennifer with FTEP. She's fun, sophisticated and will take your wedding to the level you could only dream of pulling together. She will save you (and your fiance'!) hours of unnecessary stress.
Best wishes to all with the wedding of your dreams!!
I would highly recommend Jennifer to anyone planning a wedding. I can't say enough about her organizational skills, creativity, attention to detail and professionalism. She saved us a tremendous amount of time in streamlining the vendor selection process. She was prompt in returning texts, emails and phone calls, and she was a master at creating (and helping us stick to) our wedding timeline. All in all, it was a joy to work with Jennifer ~ We couldn't have done it without her!
As the mother of an out-of-town bride and groom, I knew immediately that I wanted a professional to help plan my daughter's New Year's Eve wedding. In Jennifer, we found the consummate professional. We chose to work with Jennifer throughout the entire planning process and she never failed to deliver. She timely and tirelessly answered every e-mail and phone call we sent her way. She had a fantastic selection of vendors for every detail of the wedding. Her creative vision for the design and decor of both the wedding and the reception perfectly captured all of our expectations for a magical night. Jennifer and her team made sure everything went smoothly all evening long and allowed us to relax and enjoy the occasion. Her suggestion to have a balloon drop at midnight to ring in the New Year created a moment all of us will long remember. I would not have wanted to go through this experience without Jennifer. I recommend The Finer Things Event Planning without reservation.
Jen was incredible to work with. She was the first vendor I booked 2 year before my wedding date. After my first meeting with her I knew I had to book her. She has a ton of experience and has an outstanding network of vendors she works with that will make your dream wedding come true. She chose the best vendors for me in the budget that I required. She paid attention to detail and was always available for assistance via email/phone. She lifted a huge weight off of my shoulders throughout the wedding planning process. There are so many tasks that she completed that I could not have imagined doing all by myself. During the wedding weekend, Jen made it so that my family and I did not have to lift a finger. Everything ran so smoothly because of her and her team. Even when there were small hiccups Jen came to the rescue and solved the issue in no time at all. Our wedding was absolutely perfect and we are still getting compliments weeks later from all of our guests saying that it was the best wedding they have ever been to. Thank you Jen for all of your hard work for the 2 years you worked with us. You had the magic touch that made our wedding day so special!
