what our couples say
"I hired JHevents for month-of coordination of my wedding, and they absolutely blew me away! From my first conversation with Jessica Gonsalves, I could tell that she was organized and experienced, and very easy to get along with. She was enthusiastic and supportive about all our wedding ideas, but was also there to offer suggestions if we needed help, and practical reminders as we got closer to the wedding. We had an intimate lakeside wedding, in my in-laws' backyard at the end of August. The day before, Jessica came to (I thought) run our ceremony rehearsal and go through final details with us - in actuality, she did so much more. She helped us set up for our rehearsal dinner, made calls to track down our rental delivery when it was late, and directed the rental deliveries and made sure we received everything we had ordered. On our wedding day, Jessica and her assistant Alicia were AMAZING. The setup looked incredible, like they literally took what I had in my head and put it out there (and I'll admit I am definitely particular about how I want things to look or be set up). Five minutes before our ceremony start time, it started to rain, and continued to rain for about 30 minutes. Jessica and Alicia ran and removed the seat cushions on the ceremony chairs so they would stay dry, ran the napkins through the dryer and refolded them all, wiped all the plates and tables down, and somehow managed to restore everything to how it looked before 30 minutes of rain. Jessica made sure everything ran smoothly the whole day and had the vendors all running on the same schedule, and had a very calming "everything is under control" presence throughout the wedding. Throughout the whole day, Jessica and Alicia were there executing our vision exactly as we wanted, they were available to help us and the guests anytime, and they were so kind and fun on top of it all. Thanks to JHevents, our wedding day went smoothly and was definitely much less stressful; all the work they did allowed me and my husband to actually enjoy the day and spend time with each other and with our guests. Jessica Gonsalves and her team are SO good at what they do, truly professionals, and I would 110% recommend them to any couples looking for a planner or coordinator."

"If you are looking for a coordinator who is detailed oriented, fun to work with and truly listens to what the bride and groom are looking to accomplish on their big day- look no further! Hiring Jessica as our coordinator was the best decision we made throughout this whole wedding process (other than choosing to spend the rest of our lives together). JHevents works hard to get the job done and make the extensive planning prior and day of go as smoothly and enjoyable as possible. Jessica and her team are professional, fun to be around and go above and beyond for their clients! She was our “month of” coordinator but met with us a couple of times prior to the month of and was phenomenal. You will not regret hiring her."

"Hiring Jess and the JHEvents team was without a doubt the best decision my husband and I made for our wedding. We got married in CT on 6/12/21 and hired Jess as our month/day of coordinator. To say she went above and beyond the call of duty is an understatement. She met with us in person three times before our wedding day and assisted in every part of the process. Jess coordinated with all our vendors (even the very difficult to pin down) and made a detailed timeline for our day. She is incredibly responsive- whenever we reached out with a question or concern (which was often) she responded almost immediately. Following any meeting we had with her or with a vendor, Jess would always send us detailed meeting notes and follow up questions/items. Jess arrived at our venue early the day before the wedding and organized/dealt with our vendors all day. She brought a team of two other people to assist on our wedding day so someone could be at the ceremony venue while there was also someone at the reception venue to make sure everything ran smoothly. I cannot recommend JHEvents more highly!!!"

"I didn't have a wedding, but my best friend did and it was at my home. I typically wouldn't write a review for someone I didn't hire, but Jessica from JH Events had to be one of the most organized, communicative, diligent people I've seen. She managed food, bathrooms, tents, table settings, the dj, and keeping my best friend sane during a stressful time. I wouldn't think twice about recommending her to anyone needing a wedding planner."

"Jessica was amazing! We hired her for our backyard wedding because it was too much for us to set up ourselves. Everything went perfect, our guests loved her and her team. Jessica is extremely thorough in the entire process. We had some issues getting in touch with our venders, sometimes we’d wait weeks and not hear back. Jessica was able to fix all the bumps in the road. We highly recommend her, she was professional, responds quick, and she gets the job done."

"If there was any single vendor we could attribute the perfection of our wedding to, it’s definitely Jessica of JHEvents. We brought her on as our day/month of coordinator, and she was absolutely essential. Anytime we had a question or needed an opinion before wedding day, she was helpful and responsive. Her organization made sure no detail was forgotten, and our wedding went off without a single hitch. If there was a single problem on the day, we didn’t know about it. We were able to truly just relax and enjoy our wedding while she took care of everything behind the scenes kept everything running in time. On top of it all, she is professional, cheerful, pleasant and just a wonderful, positive addition to your planning. Do not hesitate to book her!"

"When I say I wouldn’t have had the day I dreamed of without Jessica, I mean it. She thought of and executed every single detail. She was so insanely helpful during the planning process and especially the day of. Everything ran smoothly because of her. She made the day feel like something out of a movie. She was organized, passionate, fun, and easy to work with. My husband and I would recommend her to anyone and everyone. If you want a perfect, planned out, and smooth wedding day, hire Jessica. She was so sweet and reassuring, her calmness and positive outlook helped me feel at ease. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. 10 out of 10."

"Jessica is an absolute treasure, bottomline! If you're looking for an event planner to take all your worries away look no further.
Being from out of state, it was crucial to have a coordinator bring all the pieces together so my wife and I could focus on us the day of the wedding. We had appointments with five event planners including Jessica. We spoke to two other coordinators before her, but we were so amazed by the initial consultation we canceled the last two calls and hired her during the phone call. From day one she started identifying problems that we weren't even aware of and already had multiple solutions planned out before she brought it to our attention. We finally met face to face 3 days before the wedding. However, we felt as if we knew her for months because of the high level of communication we maintained even though she was only hired 2 weeks before the wedding. By the initial meeting, she had talked to every vendor (my wife and I hired months ago) multiple times and developed a comprehensive timeline for all the vendors to adhere to to streamline the whole preparation experience.
By the time the wedding day came, all the worries we had prior to hiring JHevents were non-existent. I don't think we could have hired a better event planner for our unforgettable day. If you are a worrier like me, then Jessica is who you need. If you're always asking yourself, "Did I forget to do something we might need" like me, then Jessica is who you want there to remind you of the little things. If you want the stress free wedding experience you deserve, believe me, JHevents is a must-have. Just tell her what you want and let her make your day magical as she did with ours."

"Right from our initial meeting with Jessica, I felt confident we were going to be in good hands with her as our day-of wedding coordinator. She is very professional, organized and detail oriented. She was punctual each time we met with her. Her communication throughout the entire planning process was wonderful, she was very responsive to any questions. She made sure all of our vendors were on the same page with the timeline for the day. When the big day arrived, it ran like clockwork! I had zero stress on our wedding day! On top of this, she is just a very personable, easy to work with person. I cannot stress enough how happy we were with the service she provided and with working with her. Even guests remarked to us how smoothly our wedding day went. I am someone who enjoys planning things, but planning your own wedding can certainly be overwhelming. You truly do need someone there to run the show for you on your wedding day. Hiring Jessica for this was one of the best decisions I made and took a huge amount of stress off of me. I can’t recommend her highly enough!"
