Events with Panache

When we planned our initial wedding budget, we put day of coordinator in the “if we have the money” category, but we’re both now so thankful that we found a way to make this work! Jennifer was absolutely wonderful to work with from the very start. She was available to meet or chat on the phone whenever I requested a check in, she reviewed all of our vendor contracts before we signed them and executed our wedding flawlessly. And honestly, Jennifer really did pay for herself in the sense that the vendor recommendations and cost-cutting tips she provided exceeded the actual cost of her services. She is a steal, let me tell you! One thing that was especially valuable to us is that Jennifer essentially took over all wedding details the week of the wedding. She confirmed details with all of our wedding vendors and as soon as we arrived to Charlottesville for the wedding, we met and handed off all my little wedding projects so that she could assemble and arrange everything...and we were DONE! Completely free to enjoy time with friends and family before the big day. If you fancy yourself a DIY bride like me, then you absolutely NEED a day of coordinator like Jennifer! On the day of the wedding Jennifer made sure all of our plans were executed perfectly and she was always smiling and ready to answer questions or direct the wedding party. And all so calmly too, which is key because you’ll want to be around someone who can help keep you relaxed! If anything went “wrong” behind the scenes at our wedding (for example, there was a huge threat of rain during the hour of our outdoor ceremony), I didn’t hear about it until AFTER the wedding from my bridal party, which was exactly my goal in hiring Jennifer! I can’t recommend Jennifer’s day of services enough - she is the best!

Jennifer is wonderful! She and her team made everything completely seamless for our wedding! She always had great ideas for the style and decoration of our venue, and she is a fun and upbeat person to work with. She saved us money with her referrals to different vendors and also peace of mind when it came to the set up of our wedding. What a talented person and such an organized team!

Jennifer and her team were great! Her years of experience were evident, but what I appreciated even more was her positive attitude. I definitely hit a few bumps in the road during the planning process and Jennifer constantly put my mind at ease! That's what all brides need!!

Jennifer Hamlin did a great job helping me with my daughter's Labor Day wedding at King Family Vineyards. During the last week leading up to the wedding, Jennifer helped us so much with hotel hospitality gift bags, wedding favor gifts & really doing anything that needed to be done! Her team was instrumental in helping our guests with our planned wedding day bus transportation to the vineyard. Jennifer also helped me so much with our Boar's Head Inn Post-Wedding Breakfast on 9/5/10. I'm very thankful, Jennifer did a wonderful job.

I honestly have no idea what we would have done without Jennifer. We hired her for the day-of coordination, and everything went perfectly. She was constantly running around making sure everyone and everything was in place. That wedding was the best day of my life (yeah, this is coming from the groom) and Jennifer really played a huge role in making it so perfect. Believe me, its worth every penny.

Provided lots of great ideas

We hired Events with Panache as a "Day of Coordinator" for our daughter's wedding, and this was definitely the best money we could have ever spent! Jennifer Hamlin certainly went beyond "day of" services, and we could not have pulled off this event without her. She was available during any part of the planning when we needed her, and we were able to really enjoy the actual day. She and her team took care of details we had not even considered and were ever-present but not conspicuous during the entire day. The gentle, pleasant, and very competent demeanor of these ladies was greatly appreciated. We would not hesitate to recommend Events with Panache!

Jennifer and her team helped my husband to have an amazing wedding. We still pinch ourselves as we think back on that weekend. Everything was perfect. I am a very hands on person and wanted to do a lot of DIY and non-traditional things for our wedding (cake buffet, hand made napkins, donut stand!), and Jennifer was not only willing to accommodate my requests, but was enthusiastic as well! She also put us in touch with AMAZING vendors and reviewed all of our contracts and answered our million questions to help us create the wedding we envisioned. We really couldn't have done without her day of services either. We met with Jennifer two nights before the wedding to go over last minute details. From that point on, we didn't have to worry about a thing - Jennifer handled it all! If anything went wrong, we didn't have a clue. We were too busy actually enjoying ourselves and our wedding. Thank you Jennifer for making it the PERFECT wedding! We couldn't have asked for anything better!

Jennifer provided us with day of wedding planning support. During the planning phase she made some great suggestions regarding vendors and was fairly responsive when we were making decisions and had questions. One suggestion she made saved us at least $1000 (transportation). When it came to the big day she and her staff were great. They ensured the guests and all the vendors were taken care off, and that the event ran smoothly through the night. My wife and were grateful to have her there so we didn't have to worry about anything!

Jennifer was amazing to work with. She knows what she is doing and is very professional to work with.

Jennifer and her staff made our wedding day! Her creative thoughts came to reality on the big day and we did not have any doubts that everything would turn out perfect, and it did! She followed our requests, gave numerous suggestions, and went above her duty to make our wedding day special. We will use Jennifer and her team for any future events that we have. She has plenty of experience dealing with any type of event from weddings to conferences to parties. I highly recommend Events with Panache for anyone who wants outstanding, indivdual service without having to worry about all of the details coming together- she will make it happen!
