Very organized and does exceptional work. Kept everything on schedule throughout the day. The entire team was very personable and a pleasure to work with. Would highly recommend .

I never thought I'd leave a bad review for anyone, but I wanted others to be aware. My husband and I were married on September 22nd, 2019, at the McMillan Inn B&B (fabulous place). We hired Jodi to be our wedding planner as we live in Alabama. We paid her $2300 for the Destination wedding and had 15 guests, thought we'd have a beautiful wedding with tons of decorations and flowers. The day of our wedding, guests were served off of plastic publix trays, she borrowed flowers from the Inn, borrowed tables and linens from the Inn, our wedding cake was barely large enough for our 15 guests and my husband and I received none to take and freeze (we were shown a 2-tiered wedding cake), and a violinist who literally butchered every song she played. We have just found out that over half of what we paid her was her FEE and was NOT used for our wedding. Her "packages" prices on her website are her FEE, it doesn't get you anything she's listed on there!!

My husband and I renewed our wedding vows for our 20th wedding anniversary a couple of weeks ago in downtown Savannah, GA. Jodi did such a beautiful job planning it for us!! We wanted something small and intimate and charming, but really beautiful and special and romantic. Jodi not only took the time to listen to what we hoped for, but also was so responsive to every question or concern during planning and also she is so great at calming your nerves when you start to get frazzled:) We loved Jodi and her sweet, kind personality and genuine love for her job. Everything went perfectly. She played such an important role in making our romantic day so memorable to look back on for many years to come. Thank you always Jodi! xo

I am a wedding planner in the wedding industry and recently was married on December 15th, 2018. Having worked so many weddings I knew I needed someone behind the scenes to help with the final touches of my big day and am so glad I hired Jodi! I would not have been able to pull it off without Jodi. She was accessible and was able to pull together the final details of my big day that were important to me. She helped coordinate the ceremony and it went so smoothly. She was there when I needed her but not in my face, which was exactly what I wanted in a coordinator. She is so kind and sweet and I am SO SO SO happy I hired her for my big day!!!!! Thank you Jodi!!!

I really hate being that person to leave a bad review, but I do not want any other bride/family to waste such valuable time and money on a coordinator who cannot fulfill her job. I hired Jodi on 5/13/17, our wedding date was set for 11/10/18. I hired her for month of coordination, so technically she should have taken over on 10/10/18. I spoke with Jodi maybe twice via email between 5/13/17 and 9/6/18. On 9/6/18, I get an email from Jodi asking for payment, when she was paid off in April of 2018. I sent her my vendor list on 9/19/18, and she writes me on 10/24/18 (2.5 weeks before my wedding) saying she did not have my vendor list. I had a funny feeling, so I personally wrote her to ask her if she was ok and if she was going to be able to coordinate my wedding because something just didn’t seem right, well she responded reassuring me that she was ok and she would be able to coordinate my wedding. I have never been married before and I don’t wedding coordinate for a living so I have no clue how things are supposed to go, that’s why I paid her $1,200 dollars to help me. On Friday, rehearsal was set for 4pm at Orleans Square, well we get there and there is another wedding happening. I feel as a wedding coordinator, something else should have been arranged or she should have known another wedding was happening. I had to call her on my rehearsal day and tell her another wedding was going on at the same time my rehearsal was supposed to happen. We ended up rehearsing at the Civic Center in the grass, so she reassured us once again that at the ceremony she would help the bridal party get down the aisle since we were unable to really know what the flow was going to be like since we were unable to rehearse at the square. I would have rearranged the rehearsal dinner time or I would have gotten a permit for Friday if I would have known I had to do so to make sure we had the square to rehearse. The chairs on my wedding day were completely on the wrong side of the square, she did not help my bridal party at all at the ceremony, they walked down in the wrong order. The bridal party announcement was completely wrong, passed apps and dinner were not served at the correct time. These were just a few things that didn’t go smoothly on my wedding day. She wanted to book Orleans Square in September (two months before my wedding), when I had personally booked Orleans Square over a year prior to my wedding date, thank goodness I did because it wouldn’t have been available. She told me on 10/17/18 in an email that she was going to call me to speak about the wedding, I never got a call from her. Jodi never once set up a meeting to go over anything with me. First time meeting her was at our rehearsal. Everything I have said here, I wrote her personally after our wedding. Our wedding day was not the place or time to discuss any issues, and I obviously was focused on other things on my wedding day. I have yet to receive a response from her. This is SUCH an important day, and you can’t do it over again, so do your research! She had great reviews, not sure how, but I went by the reviews! So I hope y’all do the same!

We worked with Jodi through a photography package with Dreamweaver Photos. Jodi went above and beyond to ensure our day went well. Although communication was a little less than we would have preferred, everything came out great in the end. We highly recommend her services.
