Reviews of Firefly Event Company (Event Planner)

Jeanne Pohlman

Summer Wember was amazing to work with and made our daughter's wedding a beautiful, once in a lifetime experience. I can't say enough about her professionalism, her attention to detail, and her ability to make our vision materialize, and after working together for 11 months, I felt like I had known her forever! She handled any problems with ease, which helped put us at ease, so that we could enjoy ourselves to the fullest. The day of the wedding was orchestrated by Firefly so perfectly that it was a great time for everyone, and worry-free for us. Thank you, Summer and Firefly for everything.....you are the best!!!!!

If you're looking for guidance in planning a beautiful, fun and stress free affair look no further! FIREFLY EVENT COMPANY should be your only stop. I knew after my first conversation with Jocelyn that she was not only highly capable and professional but had a true passion for delivering hand crafted experiences to her clients. My new husband and I were blown away by the level of care and follow through she demonstrated throughout our entire wedding process. We knew from jump that we were in great hands. From recommending vendors to helping us dream up creative and personal touches, Jocelyn hit home run after home run. Our guests were blown away by the finished product! Jocelyn and the FIREFLY team were indispensable while onsite the day of the wedding. Having them there allowed us to truly engage our guests and enjoy the moment. THANK YOU, FIREFLY, for making all our dreams comes true. You exceeded our wildest expectations!

Jocelyn and her team did a wonderful job with our wedding! I've run events in the past and I hired Firefly because I wanted to enjoy the day instead of feeling like I was working. I certainly did enjoy the day! I was given so many compliments from guests about how smoothly everything went...and on time! Three weeks before the wedding our caterer for both the rehearsal and the reception canceled and Jocelyn did a great job helping us figure it out. I also have to mention that I was a bag of nerves before walking down the aisle and her assistant Kelly did a great job and making me feel comfortable. I can't recommend this team enough!

Jocelyn at Firefly Events was wonderful. She helped us put on our wedding at Homewood in NC and was a pleasure to work with. She handled all of our day of details easily. I highly recommend their services.

Working with Firefly Event Company was the best decision my husband and I made while planning our August 15th Wedding in Asheville. Summer did it all and made it seem effortless. From the first consultation, to walking the venue, to the rehearsal and day of coordination, Summer helped take our vision and turn it into a beautiful reality. She kept us focused, calm, and helped us work through the details that we never would have been able to tackle on our own. Her knowledge of the business, professionalism, and strong vendor recommendation made it easy to trust her. Our wedding day was amazing, fun-filled, and most important of all, easy! We have Summer and her team at Firefly Event Company to thank for that!

Jocelyn and Brenda were such a joy to work with from the very first conversation. Jocelyn had such great and unique ideas to help make our wedding day a special and memorable day for us. On the day of, Jocelyn made sure all the vendors were doing what needed to be done and helping set up, while Brenda kept the wedding party informed of the timeline. (As well as help get the mud off my dress!) They are truly far more than "planners," it feels like they are there as part of your friends and family, so excited to share the day with you! You cannot go wrong with choosing Firefly Events to help coordinate your very special, once in a lifetime, day!! Thank you Jocelyn and Brenda for all the great memories!

We wouldn't have been able to pull it off with out them. It was amazing to have such support and comfort through a stressful process and to be guided in such a professional way. She definitely made our perfect day happen. Jocelyn and her team made it happen seamlessly through out the actual day and things just happened with out us having to worry, she definitely made a hard job seem easy.

Jocelyn and the entire team at Firefly Events was absolutely fantastic from start to finish! They helped my fiance and I have a seamless wedding, which we were actually able to enjoy since we knew the details would be taken care of! I can't recommend them enough!

As the groom's parents, we engaged Jocelyn Huntley from Firefly Event Company to help with the rehearsal dinner the evening before the wedding. The bride chose Firefly and we thought using the same company a good idea. Everyone invited to the wedding was invited to the rehearsal dinner, so, we were planning a dinner for up to 150 people. The wedding was planned about two hours from home. Jocelyn was extremely helpful with advice, suggesting vendors (venue, florist, bakery, etc.). Everything was planned down to the tiniest detail. The day of the event, Jocelyn, Summer and Consuelo were at the venue in plenty of time to get everything set up and took care of everything. We engaged them to stay on site and coordinate the evening so that we could enjoy the event. Firefly did an amazing job working with the venue staff to make sure everything was cleaned up and closed down at the end of the night. We are extremely pleased and appreciative of their help. I would definitely hire them again if we ever have need to plan another event.

Having been in the wedding industry for more than a decade, I can say that these ladies are great to work with and always give us a happy bride to preform for.

What a great event company! Jocelyn helped us for about a year in planning our special day in Asheville. She made sure to bring our calm, relaxed vibe to come to life on our special day. She helped us every step of the way and connected us with the best wedding vendors in Asheville, which were more than perfect. Highly recommend her for any event in Asheville.

In preparation for our recent wedding in Asheville with a reception at an event barn in the beautiful surrounding mountains, we found FIREFLY EVENT COMPANY by searching on line and finding the website. There were so many things there that appealed to us, fit our personalities and had the overall feel of what we wanted for our day. We knew after meeting with Jocelyn that we had lucked out in finding someone very special. She was truly professional, took time to listen to all our thoughts, gave us some initial ideas that we liked and then gave us short lists of vendors that she felt would be a good fit. She also was helpful and realistic when discussing our budget. She she was absolutely spot-on in every area. She was a wonderful liaison and coordinated every aspect with all involved. She gave us honest and extremely helpful opinions and guidance and always got back to us very quickly when we had questions. She was such a positive, calming and flexible presence through the whole process. Our wedding day was beyond all our expectations and we did not have a moment of having to think or worry about any logistical aspect the entire day. We were able to just have a blast knowing we were in great, capable hands with Jocelyn and the staff of FIREFLY. Many of our guests said it was one of the most beautiful weddings they had ever seen. We highly recommend her for any events you might be planning.

Jocelyn with Firefly was wonderful to work with! With my very busy work like, I decided to opt for the 'Platinum package', which, among a lot of other things, meant that Jocelyn would handle vendor communication, which was a huge help. Jocelyn helped keep me on track, especially with vendor payments, and keep me sane. She also made several great suggestions (like a gourmet popcorn bar) that I wouldn't have thought of. And when, on the Wednesday before my wedding, I decided to change the ceremony location to a different part of our venue due to the weather forecast (the ceremony and reception were in the same venue, but it was large so there were several different options), Jocelyn was unbelievably supportive and jumped right on the task of dealing with the florist and events manager at the venue. And even with such short notice, the ceremony looked incredible. Everything was perfect, and I am so glad I had Jocelyn to run everything for me the day of! She went above and beyond and was so attentive to us during the reception, always making sure we had whatever we needed.

Summer was awesome! Our wedding had about 100 people so it took a lot of effort to make things run smoothly. During the whole wedding planning process she really kept me on-the-ball and helped me with the minuet details that I never would have thought about. This really complimented my laid approach to things. She was there to call vendors with questions, and make sure all communication was on the table for everyone! On the day of the wedding she was there to really orchestrate the timing of things to make the wedding flow as it should without any hitches. There really is a lot of work that goes into such a huge event with so many people even though I didn't want any formalities. Summer was such an asset to make the wedding FUN and not work on our special day! I highly recommend her!!!

Firefly Event Company gave us a stress-free, first rate experience in the planning of our special day. Jocelyn gave us many options to choose from and helped in the process to make our day a beautiful magical memory. She was instrumental in lining up the venues and vendors, while respecting our unique process as a couple figuring out just what we wanted for our wedding. Thank you Jocelyn!!

What's not say about Jocelyn and Summer, there are the BEST at what they do. Such great people to work with!! 10 STARS!!

Jocelyn and the entire team at Firefly Events were absolutely phenomenal! From the first meeting with Jocelyn through our entire wedding day and even afterwards, Jocelyn helped us navigate through the complexities of planning a wedding. We had a large group and as you can imagine, I was nervous about how to coordinate so everyone knew where to be and had the timeline for the day. The entire day was seamless and Jocelyn was there to ensure things went according to plan. After the wedding, I received compliments from guests on how Jocelyn was helpful in various ways. Throughout the year of planning the wedding, Jocelyn kept me on track on what needed to get done and when. Since we live out of town, we had arranged phone conferences and several visits to Asheville where she had set up meetings to make effective use of our time. She offered expertise on reputable vendors for us to interview so as to select those vendors that would meet our needs. She helped us create a day and an event that was meaningful to us and our families. I cannot recommend her enough!!
