What better way to do that than planning fabulous + unforgettable weddings, birthdays, showers, + more! My friends often turn to me for organizing their events, our travel adventures, & booking our excursions, which sparked the idea: why not make this my career? With over 5 years of professional event planning experience under my belt, I’ve absolutely fallen in love with crafting every little detail to ensure your day is perfect!

When you have me by your side during the planning process, you can relax and enjoy the journey. No need to stress about how everything will come together on the big day or who will be coordinating all your fabulous vendors—I’ve got it all covered! I’m here to make your elevated dreams come true and sprinkle a little magic into every celebration! Featured in Chicago Style Weddings

    Hiring Jen as our day-of coordinator was the best decision we made for our wedding. She was so thorough and responsive throughout the entire process and thought of details we never would have considered. On the wedding day, she handled vendors, helped with setup and breakdown, kept everything on schedule, and made sure the day ran smoothly. We were able to fully relax and enjoy every moment because we knew she had it covered. If anything went wrong, we had no idea. She was incredible, and we truly cannot recommend her enough.

    Jen was fantastic to work with! From our first call together she was organized and helpful from the jump, making sure I as the photographer didn’t need anything specifically. Not only did she prioritize the couple, she was able to communicate their needs to best help us as vendors do our jobs to the best of our abilities. She was professional and kind and I would love to work with Jen again!

    We can’t say enough wonderful things about Jen at J’s Elevated Dreams! From our very first conversation, she instantly “got” us and what we wanted for our day. There were so many parts of the wedding (like the flowers, card tables, and other little details) where we truly didn’t have a plan, so we gave Jen total creative freedom. She delivered beyond anything I could have imagined! Her attention to detail, incredible vendor recommendations, and genuine kindness made every step fun, stress-free, and totally personalized. Jen and her fantastic team (a special shout-out to Kay!) handled every detail so we could fully enjoy the celebration. We had multiple guests tell us how seamless the flow of the day was and how beautiful everything looked. If you want someone who cares deeply, listens, and turns your ideas into a reality, reach out to Jen! We are forever grateful!

    My wife and I highly recommend J's Elevated Dreams to any couple seeking a supportive, experienced, and professional wedding coordinator for their upcoming event. She helped us accomplish in 3 months what we could not do ourselves in over two years by keeping us honest with realistic timelines and providing her personal vendor recommendations. She also helped us save money, offered individual attention to our specific needs, and overall supported us on our ceremony day. Great value. 5/5
