I've been hired to be a part of a lot of weddings and I can confidently say that Valerie was top of the line! She was in control every step of the way. From the very first email, she was quick and thorough in communication. As the wedding approached, she provided all of the necessary information and made sure I knew she was available if I had any questions. On the day of the event, she was absolutely incredible. Cool, calm, and collected the entire day as we transitioned through the elements of the event. Valerie and her team were amazing to work with and I recommend them whole-heartedly!

While I offer planning services for all types of events, weddings are my absolute favorite. I love working with people. I love making them laugh. I love love and I love watching each event unfold. This is literally my dream job and I am so grateful that I get to work in this amazing industry.

Awarded Best of Zola
We found RS Event Co. through a friend and are so glad we did! The Month-Of Coordination package offered us just what we wanted as we were looking for someone to handle the day of details to allow our family to enjoy the big day. And while Raquel did handle the smaller details, she also did so much more. From day one, she was professional, supportive and detail oriented, quickly becoming someone we could rely on and ask questions to. She made herself available for not only calls with vendors, but in-person meetings, ensuring our questions were heard and our vision was being brought to life. On the day of the wedding, Raquel struck the perfect balance of being supportive and discreet and after the event, I kept telling friends and family that I felt like everything went perfectly! I know that’s a testament to all the hard work Raquel put in to ensure my husband and I had the best day. She anticipated our needs before we had to ask and went above and beyond in areas that we didn’t even know we’d need until the big day (an example being driving guests from our reception to the parking lot in the venue’s golf cart). These feelings don’t just apply to myself and my husband as my parents have also expressed their gratitude for everything she did. We were all able to be present the entire day because of Raquel and that was truly a gift! For anyone considering a wedding coordinator, please reach out to Raquel! She will immediately jump in to help wherever she can while also being your personal cheerleader.

I'm Jennifer, the heart behind Fresh Event Services, a day-of and destination wedding coordination service designed especially for couples who want to plan their own vision and need someone calm, capable, and joyful to bring it to life.

Awarded Best of Zola
We got married on May 21, 2022, and I can confidently say that hiring Jenn was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. She was an absolute dream to work with from start to finish! Our family first met Jenn when we hired her to help with my Grandma’s 90th birthday celebration -- an event that came together beautifully thanks to her expertise. After seeing how seamlessly she pulled off that special day, I knew I wanted her to be part of our wedding. Due to the pandemic, I had a longer-than-expected planning window (a little under 2.5 years), and I brought Jenn on board later in the process than I would’ve liked -- honestly, if I had known how incredible she was, I would have hired her from day one. Jenn served as our day-of coordinator, but she brought so much more to the table. She was incredibly detail-oriented, always attentive to my ideas, timeline, and ever-growing list of décor dreams. Our planning calls were so helpful -- they not only kept things on track but also eased my anxiety and made me feel confident that everything would come together. On the wedding day, Jenn went above and beyond. She met us at our bed and breakfast, carefully transported all of our décor and paper goods to the venue, and worked hand-in-hand with our venue staff and vendors to bring our vision to life. She had a calming presence and a warm, supportive energy that made the whole day feel smoother and more joyful. Throughout the celebration, Jenn was always nearby (but never intrusive), checking in to make sure my husband and I had everything we needed and that the schedule stayed on track. She truly cared about making the day special for us -- and it showed in every detail. Jenn was an invaluable part of our wedding day, and I couldn’t recommend her more highly. Whether you're planning a wedding, party, or special event, she brings professionalism, warmth, and a genuine passion for what she does. Thank you, Jenn, for your incredible care, thoughtfulness, and dedication. You helped make our day unforgettable!

I'm obsessed with Charlene! She was a dream to work with. She brought such professionalism to our hectic event. We were planning a wedding at a personal property, meaning we had to supply every single vendor and she handled everything amazingly. She wrangled the vendors prior to the day of and she helped me keep my cool during the stress of the morning. You can tell she's a pro at this! There were times I felt a little underwater in terms of managing an event I had no experience with, and her demeanor was so calming and she handled any last minute things.

We selected her "partial planning" package and I cannot begin to explain how grateful we are that we did! She is extremely responsive (near instant text replies!!

She went to countless vendor meeting and kept track of all of my overly detailed instructions to make sure each piece of our day (timeline, vendor contracts, etc) worked with those details. When the venue dropped the ball, others got details wrong, or vendors fell through, Dana was always a step ahead and came up with even better solutions than our original plans. Dana really knows the ins and outs of organizing a wedding, is in tune with the Columbus wedding scene, and has incredibly valuable connections.

Hiring DeAnne was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding. From start to finish, she was an absolute dream, gentle when we had to make tough decisions, affirming when we finally made them, and endlessly supportive throughout, in what is a very stressful process. I have a background in event planning, and my husband (love him) was a little clueless and had a hard time with a lot of the design decisions. She was so patient and did a great job of explaining things in a way that made sense to him! She was able to transform Picnic House in Prospect Park into a beautiful and romantic venue that we had never imagined, and our guests are still raving about the details. Behind the scenes, she handled everything so seamlessly that we were able to enjoy every moment of our day without worry. Dear September brought so much heart to the process, as she found us vendors that completely matched our vibe. She truly understood my vision and brought it to life in a way that I could have never imagined —I still can't believe that was my wedding! Even with some bad weather, she brought quick fixes and made everything seamless. We are endlessly grateful and cannot recommend her enough. If you’re lucky enough to have her as your planner, your wedding will be in the very best hands. Couldn't recommend more!

From the very beginning, when I had only a vague idea of what I wanted, she was there to guide me through every step of the process to make the final “product” more stunning than I could have ever imagined. Christina has an incredible talent for listening to her clients and transforming their ideas into a beautiful reality. Her attention to detail and creativity helped me paint an amazing picture of my wedding day. Christina went above and beyond, treating my wedding as if it were her own, ensuring that everything was perfect. Her hard work and dedication truly shone through, and I couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. If you're looking for someone to make your wedding dreams come true, look no further than Christina!

As a vendor, we work with a lot of event planners and Katie was a pleasure to work with. She provided a detailed timeline and map of the location, which made everything very smooth. Can't wait to work with her again.

My husband and I knew we needed a day of coordinator because on our wedding day he wanted me to finally check out and relax! As someone who is very type a, I didn't want to not enjoy my actual wedding because I was so focused on details. Like most venues we had a Bridal Attendant who was great, but I can't speak enough about how a day of coordinator is so necessary. There really were so many moving parts that day and Mia took care of all of it. Her involvement allowed my mom and mother in law to be able to actually have fun. It was great to see! Leaving the pressure of getting things right on the day of to Mia and her team was the best decision I made! She was actually the first vendor we hired. It was truly a non negotiable for us! We chose Mia because she was able to really walk us through the entire process and answer all of the questions we had with the least amount of fluff! When we hired Merry we decided to pay a little extra for a second on site coordinator and that ended up being a great choice! Her team worked directly with our venue to make sure everything was where it needed to be and when it needed to be there. I was also able to assign someone to my husband and the groomsmen so that they felt special and taken care of! We even had one small thing that came up that because of the conversations we had she knew exactly what to do. It was super windy on the day of and our ceremony was in a tent that was supposed to be open to the water views. The venue ultimately left them open but she made an executive decision (found me quickly to re-confirm) to close the panels/curtains and it saved our guests from freezing and not being able to actually hear the ceremony. She also made sure that all of the things we really cared about (pictures, moments etc) were captured! We'd hire Merry by Mia a thousand times over!

I can’t express how amazing Abiola and her team were. From the moment I booked her for month-of coordination, she made me feel so supported and assured me that I was making great progress with planning. Even before the official coordination period began, I was able to reach out to her with questions and for advice—she was always just a text away! The month leading up to the wedding, we were blown away. Abiola created a detailed and thorough wedding guide for our friends and families, attended our rehearsal, and checked in constantly to ensure we weren’t overwhelmed. Her presence alone brought so much peace of mind. On the day of, she and her team were phenomenal—hands-on, incredibly organized, and made everything run smoothly. She even provided stunning content creation that we’ll cherish forever! Huge shoutout to Vanessa and Yves as well. We were truly able to lean on all of you for anything we needed. Hire ABIBI Bridal—you will not regret it! We are forever grateful!

Abby is a no brainer hire! Incredibly thoughtful, experienced, knowledgeable, intuitive, comprehensive, kind, and affordable! We were on a pretty tight budget so we hired Abby for her partial planning/day-of coordination and I can’t imagine what we would have done without her. I planned everything myself but as soon as she came on board, I felt so much comfort and relief knowing my wedding was in good hands and I could focus on other things. She is the definition of PRO. We had event staff bail the night before and she was able to find an amazing team of folks to fill their shoes! She ran our rehearsal like a well-oiled machine. She saw me dancing with my new husband with an empty drink in my hand and quickly swooped in to grab it; it’s the little things that tell you she’s putting you first on the most important day of your life. My entire wedding party adored her and even invited her out to the after party! If I could give her 50 stars I would. As my bridesmaids would say, QUEEN ABBY FOREVER. ️
