The moment I knew I needed her for my own future wedding? The day of my brothers wedding when the shuttles never showed and Jennifer jumped on the phone within seconds, solved the problem, and got everything extended 1/2 hour, all the while the bride & groom sat back and got a minute to breathe and sip a drink before the day continued. The moment I knew I made the right decision hiring her for our own wedding? When leaving our 2nd venue, I expressed in the parking lot that I fell in love with it and was ready to book immediately, when Jennifer asked us to trust her and come see a few more only because at the same price range, we could have so much more included rather than an expensive add on. Sure enough the 1st venue she suggested we see, included DOUBLE what the one I "loved" offered and was even more beautiful. Her knowledge of the industry alone and her ability to execute it in your favor is a huge reason why I would recommend her. This past weekend, Bryan and I experienced the best day of our lives. From 7:00am - 12 midnight, I smiled and laughed and worried ONLY when I realized I dropped my Grandmother's wedding band somewhere during pictures (dont worry, Jennifers assistant found it!). I can't tell you how many people told me how relaxed I seemed, and I am convinced it was because I knew I had such a great team on our side. You usually only do this wedding thing once in your lifetime, and Jennifer and her team do it 2-3 times a month! For almost any problem, they have a tool or an idea on hand and if they dont, they WILL get one. The planning process was truly a joy for us and I am saying this very honestly. For a year and a half Jennifer set up & attended meetings with us, asked the questions we didnt know we had to ask, negotiated well in our favor (saving money is ALWAYS nice am I right?) and went above and beyond to make our day the best in our life. Our timeline was so meticulously planned out for the day of - that we were actually able to take it ALL in! So many brides say the time flew and it was all a blur, but for me - I was able to enjoy all of the great parts and I truly believe it was because of Jennifer Tolento. Even though we are very sad to have the planning process and our time together over for now, we are so happy for her to move on and make another wedding amazing for her next client. Whether you're a detail-oriented-perfectionist or a laid back-dont know the name of any flowers- let's just have fun type of bride like me, you can never go wrong with Jennifer & her team. Her expertise, patience & kick a** personality make her an amazing wedding planner and an even better friend. Now I am onto finding some future event she can help us plan!

My 50th birthday party was amazing. Everyone is saying how fun and just raving on the details. And I couldn't agree more!!! Thank you thank you for helping me make my vision a reality. For taking care of all the details, including the bra incident. Lol. And for dealing with all my last minute madness. I have always loved organizing parties and was afraid I wouldn't like letting someone else do everything. But you listened and executed all my ideas. And improved where necessary. I cannot thank you enough. Other than to say I think I'm officially turning over my party baton to you!!

Jennifer Tolento Events was a pleasure to work with, she had great ideas that made my husbands birthday party a huge success!! Would recommend her to anyone needing an organized and personable event planner.

Jennifer was a god send! We were planning our own wedding and had no idea how much actually went into it. We hired Jennifer midway through and she was absolutely amazing from start to finish! I can not thank her enough for making sure our special day was fantastic. We had a small venue that we had to fit almost 150 people in, all of her ideas and organization skills made the perfect day and the memories will last a life time!!! Thank you so much Jennifer!

Maggie Peyyala

Jennifer is invaluable! She helped us plan a spectacular party for our son’s first birthday. She worked with us on tight schedule and went above and beyond. We came to her with some vague ideas and she gave a lot of suggestions to make it all come together and look amazing. With Jennifer in charge, we knew everything was on track and that really lowered our anxiety. She has a strong creative flair and really understands the vision. I cannot recommend her enough. 5 stars all the way!

David Stone

Jennifer is a top notch wedding planner with a huge breadth of knowledge and lots of industry expertise. She got to know us right a way and seemed to instantly have a deep understanding of what my wife and I were hoping for on our wedding day. Her ideas were always insightful and she helped us stay on track at every turn. We were blown away by the results and couldn't have asked for a better team to make sure everything went smoothly on the day-of. Jennifer's services are worth their weight in gold. Can't thank you enough! --David and Brianna Stone--

Britany Kester

Jennifer did and amazing job on our wedding. She had one month to pull everything together and was still able to make our dreams come true! It was beautiful, I don't know what I would have done if I didn't have her to help me through it all. I garuntee she will get you to your big day with ease and make that day run flawless!

Mary Sconfienza

Jen was a great investment for our wedding! We got married at a venue where you bring your own vendors in and have to be off grounds by a certain time. We knew we didn't want to have to worry the day of. As our day-of coordinator, she helped put together our timeline and kept in contact with the many vendors coming from all over. She answered any questions we had throughout the planning process, and she took care of our tips for the vendors at the end of the night. She fought for us to get the best service from everyone. Thank you so much for everything, Jen! -Keith and Mary Sconfienza

I hired Jennifer Tolento events for my sister and her fiancé, as a partial planner. She came in at the perfect time to coordinate, finalize and "pull it all together". She is professional, energetic and extremely knowledgeable. Since both brides work full time and have busy schedules, I thought this would be the best gift to make the planning process easier for them. Last night was the rehearsal dinner and everything went perfect. She's detail oriented and organized, friendly and sweet. I'm so glad we have Jennifer and her team to be part of this special day!!!

I am the owner of Flower Bar and just had the absolute pleasure of working with Jen and her Staff. I I have been setting up weddings for over 20 years and have to say she is one of the best planners I have worked with. I look forward to recommending her to my bride and grooms.

Thanks to Jen and the Tolento Events team, our wedding day was a stress-free, incredible, dream come true. It was everything we ever wanted and more. If you are looking around for a planner—look no further!. Hire Jen, full-time because your event will stand out like you could have never imagined. Jen makes planning a big event easy and fun. We booked Jen Tolento Events about a year before our wedding. When we hired her, our anxiety and overwhelmed feelings were immediately put to ease. She gave us expert advice, guidance, and support throughout the entire planning process. She was the creative mastermind behind almost every over the top feature of our memorable wedding. Jen made our wedding wish list a reality (suspended cake, amazing florist display, beautiful invitations, electronic violinist, bagpipers and a belly dancer to name a few). She introduced us to and coordinated with reputable vendors and event performers. She always made herself accessible to us. Jen is patient, graceful, talented, and vastly knowledgeable about the wedding industry. She was an absolute pleasure to work with. During the planning phase, we followed Jen’s lead and listened to her as she guided us along the way. She was more than a planner, she was family and truly cared about our day as if it was her own. On our wedding day, Jen showed up with a star studded team. Her team was totally vested and all business when it was showtime. They worked hard making sure everything was just right. We smiled the entire day and never once felt stressed because we knew Jen had everything handled. There were some unforeseen challenges on the wedding day which were completely out of our hands. These challenges could have really wreaked havoc on our day, but Jen came through and shined under pressure. One example is how the start of the church ceremony was delayed over a 1.5 hour and cut the set up time for the florist. Once given the clearance to set up, Jen and the girls went full speed ahead. The ceremony was set up in lightning speed and also assured that all the guests were cared for during the delay. Jen personally handled the domino effect delay of events for the rest of the day. The cocktail hour, musicians, and entertainers were all seamlessly re-scheduled and it honestly didn’t feel any different from the original plans. Everyone raved on how this wedding was so well orchestrated and presented like a Broadway show. The party went way past midnight and lasted a lifetime in everyone’s memories. We took a bit of time to write this review because we wanted it to thoughtfully reflect our experience working with Jen Tolento events. We absolutely love Jen and cannot imagine our wedding day without her. We hope to work with her again in the future… (Baby shower! Surprise Jen! : ), It’s a BOY!).

We hired Jennifer a few weeks before our wedding for same day coordination. Her team was amazing. They gave us the peace of mind we needed during the crazy weeks leading up to the wedding. On the day of the wedding there wasn’t anything we had to worry about except enjoying the day. Best decision we made!

Chelsea Enderes

We absolutely loved having Jennifer! She was so helpful, our day would not have come together without her! We used DIY flowers her team was great at putting them out for us the way we envisioned it. We are so grateful for everything she did for us, thank you!!!

Jennifer Nyeste

Jennifer and her team were beyond amazing the day of our wedding, as well as the days/weeks leading up to it. In addition to her helping us tie up a bunch of loose ends, once the week of the wedding came, Jennifer knew exactly what we wanted and was able to drive the ship while we actually got to enjoy our own wedding without worrying about one.single.thing. Jen confirmed everything with all my vendors the days leading up to the wedding which took so much off our plates with all the last minute things that can come up. As the bride, I can honestly say I did not have to think of, or worry about, one logistical thing the day of my wedding which was exactly what I wanted. We had a lot of moving parts having the hotel, ceremony and reception at different locations and was the reason why we even considered a coordinator in the first place. It all went so unbelievably smooth and it was completely due to Jen and her team being on top of everything from start to finish. If you are even considering a wedding coordinator, do it!! Jen is the best and you will be SO, SO thankful when you realize you got to enjoy every single moment of your day:)

Gemma Budnick

I think the most important been there done that advice I could possibly give to a bride to be is to hire Jennifer and her team! Jennifer made sure that everything was absolutely perfect and I was left without a single worry on the day of! Not only was she such an amazing day of coordinator who went above and beyond (hemming bridesmaids dresses hours before ceremony is just one example) but, she was there for me throughout my planning - giving advice, recommendations, and fixing issues with vendors for me! She goes above and beyond and I would have been lost without her! Thank you thank you Jennifer, you are beyond amazing!

Erin Tierney

You will not be disappointed when working with Jennifer! She helped us pull off our wedding in just 4 months. Her knowledge, professionalism, organization and attention to detail are just outstanding. With her help, we truly had our dream wedding and the planning process was hardly stressful. Anything we needed, Jennifer had an answer or solution. We are so glad we hired Jennifer and would recommend her to anyone needing some help with their special event. She is a true professional and an absolute joy to work with!!

Angela Christiana

Jennifer is one detail of your wedding you do not want to leave out! She goes above and beyond to make every vision you have a reality. Not only does she have an award winning personality, her knowledge of the entire wedding process gives you an unbelievable piece of mind that it will all be perfect. From my invitations to my favors and everything in between Jennifer’s attention to detail shined right through. When my shuttle didn’t show up to get my guests, Jennifer was on the phone with another company in seconds to get a new shuttle, adjusting times with the venue and and other vendors, she truly was my knight in shining armor. I trust me when I say, you will regret it if you don’t book this gem!

We had hired Jennifer for my sweet 16. She has made centerpieces, a candle lighting board, and even put together a candy bar. It all looked incredible and beautiful!! I definitely recommend her for any type of event!

I can't say enough about Jennifer. Talent, dedication, professionalism, knowledge and the ability to work with any budget to create whatever your vision is make her OUR go to planner for any event, our ONLY planner. She's got that gift to bring whimsy and dreams into real life that others don't have. Her attention to detail is impeccable. I highly recommend her. You won't be disappointed.

Throwing a DIY wedding is no joking manner. Just when you think you are on the right track, you are blindsided by another task that you never considered. Thankfully we hired Jennifer Tolento and her event company to help us facilitate the process, and most importantly, coordinate our most joyous day. From the get go Jennifer was only an email away and was so helpful with making our wedding day so special. She contacted all our vendors to assure a smooth and seamless event, and assisted from the morning of till we left the venue. We couldn’t imagine what our wedding would be like without her and her assistant Jessica providing excellent service. Thank you Jennifer!

Amira Curtis

I planned my wedding at a hall and needed a day of coordinator - Jennifer exceeded every expectation I had, was there along the way to help me with any and all questions, checked out the hall, thought of the things I didn't, did the rehearsal with us, and made the day run smooth - I was a guest at my own wedding like she promised! We had a few hiccups during the reception, Jennifer was quick on her feet to make it run seamless...best decision I made!

Tara Klein

If you are reading this review, you are probably just like me wondering if you really need someone to help with your wedding and asking yourself is it worth it. WELL IT IS! Working with Jennifer for our wedding was the best decision we made. My only regret is not reaching out to her sooner! From the first minute I spoke to her, she put my mind at ease. She took the time to understand what we wanted and really made that vision come to life for us. Her knowledge and expertise were extremely helpful during planning. She is amazing at what she does, and she will make your dream day a reality. Knowing that Jennifer and her team were with us during our wedding was priceless. It allowed us to TOTALLY and completely relax and enjoy our day. They took care of all the little details, made sure we were on schedule, that we had everything we needed, and even stepped up for all those little emergencies along the way. We were able to be present and appreciate every second of our wedding which is worth more than anything. I will recommend Jennifer to anyone planning a wedding or a party. We are forever grateful for all she did and we know our day was perfect because of her!

Allison Gasko

Jen was far and away the best decision we made while planning our wedding. She helped guide us through the planning, process, brought us to the most incredible vendors and became more like family along the way. We could not have pulled off this wedding without her and are so beyond thankful we found her!!

Steve Kammerer

Jennifer Tolento was amazing and was everything we needed to make our wedding great. She was always one step ahead of us making sure everything was perfect. She thought of things we didn't and reminded us of our to-dos along the way. I am recommending her to everyone who is getting married. She makes the process enjoyable and less stressful.
