Elements NW Events & Weddings

Jennifer with Wedding Elements Northwest is the exact sort of person a stressed out bride wants on her side. She’s cheerful, comforting and extremely flexible. Due to circumstances in my family life, my wedding plans changed several times, and honestly I think Jennifer was the only reason I stayed sane through it all! Her packages are incredibly flexible — she was happy to take over as much work as I wanted her to, but allowed me to get selective about the specific details I wanted to manage myself. Wedding Elements NW was also surprisingly affordable — one of the best-​priced options in our area — and so close to home. As a final bonus, the package we selected offered discount pricing on related parties, so it’s a great way to get a planner involved for a bachlorette party or wedding shower as well. I’ll definitely turn to Wedding Elements NW again in the future for any other large events I plan to host!

We hired Jennifer for day of coordination for our wedding, but she went WAY above and beyond that. We absolutely couldn’t have done this without her. She was there every step of the way, always willing to let me bounce ideas off of her, to give me awesome resources/​recommendations, and to keep my various vendors and payments in order. On the day of, she ensured that my husband and I could actually enjoy ourselves, she took care of EVERYTHING. I’ll say it again: there is no way I could have done this wedding without her. Best money I spent! HIGHLY recommended!

If you want your event to be a flawless success, Jennifer Vandeventer must be your event coordinator. Approximately two months before our wedding, we brought Jen on to lead our team of vendors and provide day-​of coordination for our 75-​person wedding in downtown Seattle. Jen’s ability to understand our vision for the wedding and to assume our priorities as her own proved invaluable. When you couple Jen’s personality and professionalism with the exceptional value of unlimited communication offered throughout the planning process and the extension of Jen’s industry discounts to her clients, you receive a service that is truly world class.
Jen built tailored timelines for my husband and me, our wedding party, and our vendors. Her tailored timelines demonstrated an uncanny attention to detail and appreciation of the importance of keeping things simple. I was so pleased when, in speaking to our DJ, he informed me that Jen was one of the most professional and pleasant wedding planners he had worked with. He appreciated her ability to communicate the details of our wedding clearly and concisely, to provide him with the tools he needed, and to then step back and allow him to focus on music and entertainment.
On our wedding day, Jen was simultaneously everywhere and nowhere — she picked up my flowers, met my husband’s family at the church before the wedding, somehow made it to our reception venue before the reception to set up our guest book and place cards, and kept the reception flowing seamlessly for all 5 hours without once having to ask us a question. If wedding planning were magic, Jen would be Houdini — we knew she was doing stuff, but all we saw were the dazzling results! Jen’s amazing work allowed my husband and me to spend our wedding day falling more in love with each other, cherishing our time with family and friends, and savoring the best day of our lives. We would recommend her wholeheartedly to any couple planning their big day!

Jennifer helped us cover all our bases when planning, communicate clearly with other vendors, and run the wedding smoothly. Well organized and calm. Generous with her time and available when we needed to call. For example, my wife (who was the bride) was frustrated with family near the day of the wedding, and when we called out of the blue Jennifer was available to talk, with no sense of urgency to get the call over with. Goes to great lengths to keep people happy and on track. Planning was thorough.

Jennifer was absolutely amazing! We hired her for day of coordination and she went above and beyond! She contacted all of my vendors and made all of the timelines work together. She took care of things I wouldn’t have thought about doing. On the day of I was stress free. She helped with decorating, made final payments and basically was a point of contact for anyone who needed her… Including me! She did so well and was so friendly! My family loved absolutely loved her. She made everything run so smooth. Everyone at the wedding was able to enjoy the day without a worry. I highly recommend Jennifer to help with any planning or coordination. For those of you brides like me that thought you could handle it all… I am proof that a great coordinator will relieve a lot of stress. It was money well spent!
