Jessica is a LIFE SAVOR. I am a very type A personality, so we hired her as a day-of coordinator. She took over at 60 days out, and it was a relief. I saw her putting out fires lef...
t and right, but she kept a smile on her face. 10/10 would recommend.
If I could give Jessica more than 5 stars I would!! Her and her team exceeded every expectation we could've imagined and was the person behind the scenes who made our wedding so am...
azing. Our wedding day went so smoothly and was effortless for my husband and me. She started working with us about two months out and went over all of our contracts for accuracy, helped us gather all last minute things, and created the most DETAILED itinerary that all of our vendors adhered to. On the wedding day she brought and set up every decoration, made sure the whole day went according to our schedule, and broke down every thing after our event. She's so easy to talk to and work with. Even people in my family and wedding party were raving about how amazing her and her team were! If you need a coordinator, hire her!
Jessica was amazing! Her services were a steal for the price. We hired Jessica as our day of coordinator for our July 2021 wedding. I was very hesitant to have a DOC, however; hiri...
ng Jessica was probably the best decision we made during the planning process! I was able to enjoy our engagement so much more because she was so prompt and organized. Jessica went above and beyond by meeting us at our venue twice prior to the wedding and helping to decorate for our rehearsal dinner!! She was always available via email or phone and responded promptly. I have already recommended Samana Events to several friends!
Look no further, if you’re looking for a wedding planner that will go beyond your expectations and make your dream wedding come true. She is fair in her price and does way more tha...
n a normal day of coordinator would. Jessica is just plain amazing.
I reached out to Jessica during a pandemic back in April 2020 for a day of coordinator with plans for a 200+ wedding in May 2021. Back in 2020, I thought the pandemic would be gone by May 2021. As we all know, it did not. So we had to make adjustments, which Jessica happily helped us. We would talk over zoom and email, then a face to face meeting 3 months before the wedding. For a day or coordinator, she did way more than just coordinate the day of the wedding. A month prior to the wedding, we met again and she took over all communications with vendors.
My small reception was at a beach house which she helped transform into a beautiful room way beyond my expectations. She set up, decorated, coordinated, and even stepped up to serve food because of a problem we had. We ran into some drama and she stepped up and took care of it for us. She also came back the following morning to help get the beach house back to normal.
I could go on and on but all you have to know is that you will not be disappointed with Jessica. She is professional, prompt, and easy to work with. Hire her today.
When my husband and I were looking for a wedding day-of-coordinator, we knew Jessica would be a great pick. She was very detail-oriented, professional, and easy to work with. When ...
it came down to the wire, Jessica made sure that everything went smoothly. My husband and I had gone through quite a nightmare with all of the pandemic restrictions the few weeks leading up the wedding. We were so stressed, we could hardly think -- yet Jessica was seriously on top of everything and went above and beyond. She made sure to update every vendor of ours with all of the new details, which were literally changing by the day the week before the wedding. Our wedding day went so well and it was absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!! My husband and I are beyond grateful to have had Jessica at Samana Events be our day of coordinator. I highly recommend Samana Events for your wedding <3
When I was searching for a wedding planner I knew what i was looking for in them and what they could do for me and my wedding. After a number of disastrous meetings I finally met w...
ith Jessica and it was like fate. It was like it clicked in ever way possible and she knew EXACTLY what I was looking for and what I wanted to do.
I hired her for the "month of" to relieve a lot of the stress and pressure from myself of finalizing all the details; and let me tell you, she jumped right in head first and took over. Not only did she do everything she said she would, she honestly went ABOVE AND BEYOND what I expected of her. From finalizing all the details with my vendors, to coordination of my rehearsal & wedding, to decorating my venue; and to top it off, making sure the whole time she made sure me & my husband were set while getting ready for our big day.
If I never hired Jessica I honestly know I would have been stressed out to THE MAX in the weeks and days up to the wedding and the day of. Because I hired Jessica, I was able to live in the moment and not be the crazy bride on the day of. I was able to enjoy my time with the bridal party, and the boys were able to of course be the boys. If you are on the fence about hiring a planner, take the leap and just hire Jessica. She is 100% worth EVERY PENNY!!!
