Reviews of Jove Meyer Events (Event Planner)

Imran Khan

Jove was one of the main reasons that our wedding went off without a single hitch. He was there every single step of the way on the day of the wedding and he was instrumental in keeping everyone organized in the month leading up to the big day. His team is professional and is there to make sure everything falls into place and troubleshoot accordingly. Jove is very creative and has a particular eye for detail. His suggestions and guidance really made our wedding come alive in a way that wouldn't have been possible without his expertise. He was a true joy to work with and I can't recommend him highly enough for any type of event. I know that I'll definitely be tapping him again for future events.

Jove Meyer and his team are truly some of the most wonderful kind human beings you will ever meet. Jove is so incredibly creative and brilliant with his work and process. My husband and I were full of crazy ideas and big projects and Jove was with us 100% of the way. We held a large scale BK wedding in a blank industrial space. To some this may have felt daunting, but Jove handled the task with ease and grace. He went above and beyond what was asked and made sure every detail was executed and executed well. He spent time getting to know us and our style. He focused on the things that were the most important to us in the wedding and as a result, we were able to throw a party that was unique to us and our personalities. Book Jove NOW! I really would not hesitate! You will not regret your decision to get to know this wonderful man and his team!

When you get married, if it’s not Jove Meyer that you’re saying ‘I do’ to, then you’re going to want to make sure he’s somewhere in the building. This guy is amazing. We recently tied the knot at a beautiful B&B in upstate New York, the site of one of our first getaways as a couple. While the Inn is perfectly outfitted to house its overnight guests, our’s was the largest event it has hosted. We needed to rent and bring in all essentials - forks, knives, glasses, plates, extra furniture, all food, and of course typical items such as flowers, candles etc. Working with Jove made this entire experience a pleasure, we just focused on finding things we liked and he took care of the rest. I don’t know what kind of organizational wizardry he was doing behind the scenes, but his management made my wedding week one of the most relaxed and full of joy I can remember. The vendors he helped us find all delivered beyond our expectations and on budget, and he was consistently checking in with them to make sure everything was on track. Jove even coached the inn management through any issues they were dealing with while hosting the big event. As wedding day approached I couldn’t believe how relaxed both me and my spouse were, we spent our entire wedding catching up with loved ones and just enjoying the party. If I could give this guy 10 stars I would. As our wedding wrapped I heard repeatedly from friends and family that ours was the among the most unique, memorable and enjoyable they’ve attended. If you want a wedding that fits you and want to enjoy the entire process, you should start by getting in touch with Jove.

I can't recommend Jove Meyer strongly enough. When I first met Jove, the caterer we had intended to use had just backed out with only 6 weeks to go. Instead of worrying and fretting, he made me feel relaxed and didn't blame me for the predicament that I was in. And that is ultimately what I knew I needed for my big day. Someone who knows how to roll with the punches, operate under pressure…and someone who would support me and not bring any negative energy to the table. When I ultimately found a new caterer, the captain had worked with Jove before and spoke very highly of him. She had seen him operate under pressure and complimented me on choosing him to be my day-of planner. He looked adorable for the wedding in a very cute polka dot bow tie and managed the evening without it ever feeling stressful. The night went off without a hitch and I had so many compliments from my guests. I have a lot of respect for the job that he has to do--from managing an array of personalities to creating precise floor plans to organizing the vendors. Jove will help you and respond to your every question and concern--he is the perfect ally to have by your side so you can enjoy your special day.

Jove is a rockstar! He was uber prepared throughout our process and so much fun to work with. We felt safe in his hands, which says a lot since we used his services for day-of (month of) coordination and trusting someone to pull of your hard-earned vision is scary! We highly recommend Jove Meyer Events for his precision, attention to detail, and creative eye.

Renee Perron

Jove is a perfect choice for your special day. I was very nervous about the wedding process, and as a project manager myself, I knew that I would only feel my best if I knew that everything was in its place and taken care of. Jove made sure that every detail was accounted for from beginning to end, and he made me feel relaxed the entire time...even when hail, rain and snow threatened to derail my outdoor ceremony! Jove is fun, professional, kind and extremely organized. Highly recommend!

Aesthetically speaking, I knew Jove was the perfect designer/planner to bring my gender neutral baby shower vision to life. Not only did he bring it to life, he elevated to a level that I couldn't have dreamed. With his eye and talent for design, it's easy to see why his work is so coveted in the industry. And logistically speaking, he was absolutely wonderful to work with. He offered multiple options for vendors, kept us below budget thanks to his extensive research, and took care of every minor detail day-of. I couldn't recommend Jove enough for your special event!

David Hatkoff

We literally can not say enough good things about Jove Meyer. He was an invaluable resource to us during the planning of our wedding at The Green Building in Brooklyn, and especially on the day of the event. His creativity, intelligence, attention to detail, professionalism, and humor helped put us at ease that our wedding was going to be everything we wanted it to be. It was the best day of our lives, in large part because we could trust Jove to take care of all of the details so that all we had to do was relax and enjoy the festivities. When we told any vendor that we were working with that Jove was our coordinator their faces lit up -- they all loved working with him. We would work with him again in a heartbeat.

One of the best decisions we made during our planning process was hiring Jove Meyer to be our day-of coordinator for our wedding at The Bell House. Jove was recommended to us by our caterer after we decided we would need an extra hand the day of the wedding. Jove ended up contributing in a million different ways and in our view, our wedding day could not have gone more perfectly, or exceeded our expectations more (we say this knowing that Jove was probably handling every and any glitch flawlessly in the background with ease and charm without us ever worrying about a thing). We both work in production and thought we had our DIY wedding on lock, but as the month approached, we quickly realized there were so many things about weddings we did not understand and things about the day that seemed huge and overwhelming. During the planning process Jove was invaluable with his feedback, encouraging us along the way. The day of the wedding, Jove ran every single element with complete perfection and ease. He also had unbelievable last minute creative input (we had spent hours making decor that would only be displayed during the reception and he had the brilliant idea to showcase the decor during the ceremony, adding tremendously to the overall feel of the ceremony). The day was seamless, thanks to Jove. On top of that, we just really liked him from the start, which made us that much more excited to have him be a part of our wedding day. We also trusted him implicitly, both personally and artistically, which let us relax and focus on the people at the wedding instead of the nuts and bolts that go into it. Jove provides a service which is invaluable and necessary, but he brings himself to the job in an amazingly honest, fun and comfortable way. Thank you, Jove, for making it possible for us to enjoy what was truly the best day of our lives!

Jove Meyer is the most amazing event planner I have ever encountered. From our first intro meeting 15 months ago, Jove set the tone for warmth, fun, beauty and incredible organization...without any of us feeling the stress or pressure. I honestly have never worked with someone who is both extremely professional and also inclusive and calm. Jove never misses a beat. He masters the major framework and every little, insignificant detail from initial planning until the last guest leaves the wedding. The best part about Jove and his intern, Sloan, is that they made my daughter, her fiance and me feel comfortable, supported and truly pampered at all times. I don't know how they did it, but the entire wedding process was joyful for all of us. Jove also has impeccable taste and takes his lead from the bride. He knows how to step in and step back (he never steps back, but no one realizes he's executing every move flawlessly). Work with Jove. It's as far from "work" as you'll ever experience.

Jove Meyer was way off his game as coordinator for my recent wedding in Brooklyn. He never showed a grasp of his responsibilities, and his work ended up far short of that promised . After the wedding, he wrote off our emailed complaints as a “major misunderstanding,” rather than give us the courtesy of owning up to his missteps -- that is what we expect from a professional. My wife and I came to know a different person from the one who receives many positive reviews on wedding sites. Once hired, Jove consistently gave our wedding low priority. He arrived 45 minutes late to our key planning meeting, without a text or email. When pressed, he whined he had come by mass transit from a far off event. Really? You’re an event planner - figure it out. And we had to beg him to meet again around his other clients; he simply did not voice concern for the many items we had left to cover. Jove was a flat out disaster on wedding day. We owe a lot of his missteps to his coordinating a second wedding that weekend -- he did not even attend our rehearsal. He also missed our family photos, a service he includes in his website’s Day of Coordinator package. As a result, the photo sessions and associated travel were chaotic. He grossly underestimated the time and labor required to load and unload decor, thereby cutting into his other obligations and obliging us to dispatch relatives to help him. He set up ceremony decor far differently from the scheme he had reviewed many times with my wife -- in person, by email and via printed design drawings. Some of Jove’s missteps cost us money; he failed to account for rented items (obliging us to pay a replacement fee) or to hold vendors to the schedule on which we’d agreed (obliging us to pay overtime). And he acted indiscreetly throughout the night -- by posting wedding photos from his phone to Twitter and Instagram (when he should have been working) and by eating, drinking and packing boxes in front of guests. In short, Jove failed to fulfill the key promise of his website -- to let the wedding couple “rest assured that details are in place and the event is being managed by a professional.” But the icing on the cake came the next morning. As we awoke, anxious to catch a honeymoon flight, we were greeted with three generic emails from Jove. He was asking for -- get this -- a review. Well, here it is.

Jove was our full-service wedding planner for my husband and I, who got married in Brooklyn. In looking back at the entire wedding planning process and how crazy/stressful it can be (particularly in NY), I do not know how we would have survived without Jove. Jove has incredible taste, vision, and creative direction. He transformed a warehouse in Brooklyn into an incredible and beautiful venue with unique touches and components. He was the perfect complement - working within our budget, recommending a variety of appropriate vendors, and executing above and beyond the day we had discussed. If it weren't for Jove, we also wouldn't have found our amazing band, our lighting company, rentals, and caterer - some of our favorite vendors! He listened to our preferences and budget and offered the perfect fit. This within itself saved a lot of time, energy, and effort in the planning process. Jove was professional, on-time, responsive, during our entire planning process! Thank you, Jove - our wedding wouldn't have been what it was without you!

What is better than Perfection? JOVE! My daughter's wedding was a fully planned format, from picking out the dishes to the last of the 1300 roses that were the Chuppa. Jove did not miss a beat. The space was transformed into the fantasy my daughter envisioned and then even more! There are not enough thank yous for all he did for us! The florist, the photographer, the caterer, the food trucks, the plates, the DJ...I can keep going but I will need endless pages....just look at his site and look for Elizabeth's wedding. Sheer joy and the most dancing anyone has ever seen! He gives new meaning to the word TALENT!

Nicholas Rhodes

Our company OutSnapped had the honor of working with Jove and his team again this past weekend! Their attention to details is impeccable and we can't wait to work with them again soon!

Suzie Russell

We are so happy and grateful for Jove. He was one of the brightest parts of our wedding experience. Everything was easier when he was involved. He's funny, creative, friendly, helpful and straightforward. During the planning phases, his knowledge of the process quickly answered all those weird and unpredictable logistical questions that popped up along the way. He was an invaluable sounding board and a priceless wellspring of ideas and information. There is no doubt in my mind that our wedding day would have been far more stressful and difficult without Jove's help -- but with him there it was a breeze. He had everything running smoothly and stress-free, and he was constantly handing us champagne and making sure we had enough to eat. Don't hesitate to hire Jove, he's simply lovely and we are so happy we found him and put our wedding day in his extremely capable hands.

We could not recommend Jove enough. He was our full-service wedding Planner. We planned our wedding across coasts (Wedding in NY, we live in San Francisco). Jove not only helped us have the wedding of our dreams (we reminisce frequently), but he made the planning process fun and enjoyable. Picking Jove as our Wedding Planner was the best decision we made for our wedding! Jove always provided great options and vendors tailored to our requests and preferences. He was extremely patient as we made decisions. We ended up with an incredible venue, incredible band, photographer, videographer, and kosher caterer that made the night so special. He worked closely with us on the design of the night, and helped us pick a florist that helped realize that vision. The first moment we saw the reception hall the night of our wedding, our breath was taken away. Jove went above and beyond helping us plan our Rehearsal Dinner and Sunday Brunch following the wedding. We had a special bagel spot in mind to cater the Sunday Brunch, and Jove found creative solutions to make it work for an awesome spot in Brooklyn, near our hotels. The weekend of the wedding, Jove was on top of everything. We (along with our families) could focus on enjoying the celebration, and Jove ran a perfect show. If you are considering Jove as your wedding planner, you will not be disappointed with the process and the resulting wedding! We miss our planning sessions with him!

I am obsessed with Jove. He came highly recommended by our photographer. We first met him at a bar near our apartment so he could get to know us. After that, every single vendor recommendation he sent us was spot on. Jove has immaculate taste and the most unique ideas. He compiled a serious dream team of Brooklyn vendors who were all beyond talented and so much fun to work with. The day of the wedding, Jove was a machine. Everything went off perfectly. Literally nothing went wrong (at least that I knew of....). Jove made sure every detail was perfectly executed. It was the best night of our lives and we have Jove to thank for that. We're strongly considering a very elaborate 1st anniversary party just so we can have another excuse to work with Jove Meyer Events again....

If you want a wedding planner who's going to make the process easy and fun, you can't do better than Jove. We had such a blast planning our wedding with him, from the initial meeting over cocktails to our final session over wine. We came to him with a really half-baked vision and he brought it to life, recommending vendors that were exactly in line with our style. It was just so much less stressful choosing vendors when I knew that Jove had worked with them all before and could guarantee that we would love them. I completely trusted his opinion the entire time and it paid off in the most perfect wedding imaginable. We had a somewhat difficult situation (a venue with a coordinator who wasn't happy we hired another planner) but Jove handled the situation with grace, diffusing tension and making sure there were no hard feelings on the wedding day. During the reception, he was amazing at making sure we had water, food etc. and keeping guests away from us when we wanted a little time for ourselves. I can't thank him enough for all his help and would whole heartedly recommend him to others!!

Xeni Fragakis

Jove was a joy to work with, always responding with good humor and equanimity to whatever issues arose as we planned our wedding. In truth, these "issues" were always minor, due in no small part to the professionalism of the excellent vendors suggested by Jove. On the actual day, we had to do nothing more than show up. Jove coordinated every element of the wedding, one that was characterized by more than one of our guests as "magical." (They seemed to really mean it!) We couldn't have done it without Jove--or we could have, but really, really badly--and we'll be forever grateful for his services.

Carly Jacobson

My Husband and I hired Erin Jean of Jove Meyer Events to be our day of coordinator at our wedding. We are both designers, so were very specific about everything from table settings, flowers, miscellaneous things that needed to be set up. Erinn nailed everything! Even the last minute late night pizza delivery request at our after party. I would 100% recommend hiring Jove Meyer Events. They are responsible, responsive, and genuine people. We knew from day 1 of meeting them, they wanted our wedding to be a success.
