Thyme & Details, under the exceptional leadership of Dana Watts, played an instrumental role in orchestrating our special day. From the moment we embarked on the planning journey, Dana's warm and delightful personality instantly put us at ease. Her unwavering commitment to excellence and meticulous attention to detail transformed what could have been a daunting process into a manageable and relatively stress-free affair. What truly sets Dana apart is her unparalleled expertise and extensive network of vendor connections. With her guidance, we navigated through countless decisions with confidence, knowing that Dana's recommendations would always lead us to the best possible outcomes. From selecting the perfect venue to curating a dream team of vendors, Dana's wealth of experience and industry knowledge proved invaluable at every turn. One of the most remarkable aspects of working with Thyme & Details was Dana's ability to keep us organized and on track throughout the planning process. With her meticulous planning and proactive approach, she ensured that by the week of the wedding, we had zero decisions or tasks left to complete. This allowed us to approach our special day with a sense of calm and relaxation, knowing that every detail had been meticulously taken care of. This was truly priceless. On the day of the wedding, Dana and her team executed flawlessly, leaving no detail overlooked. From managing unexpected challenges with grace and efficiency to ensuring that both sets of parents could fully immerse themselves in the celebration free from tasks or responsibilities. Both our Mom’s had planned our siblings weddings and what a gift for them to be able to relax, be present, and truly enjoy the wedding. I have countless fond memories of Dana and her team going above and beyond to make our wedding day truly unforgettable. From tackling last-minute emergencies with poise and professionalism to seamlessly coordinating every aspect of the event, Dana's commitment to excellence was apparent in every interaction. I cannot recommend Thyme & Details, and Dana, highly enough. With her unmatched expertise, unwavering professionalism, and genuine care for her clients, she truly exceeded our expectations in every way. If you're searching for a wedding planning partner who will turn your vision into reality or create one for you, look no further than Dana and Thyme & Details. You won't be disappointed.

The Finer Things Event Planning

  • Offers 5 services
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Columbus, OH

Hi! I am Jennifer, the owner and lead planner at The Finer Things Event Planning. I have been planning weddings since 2009. I love all things wedding planning but most of all, seeing my couples get married is my favorite part of all. It is truly an honor getting to be a part of one of life's biggest milestones! I love helping couples create their dream day and letting families live in the moment each and every wedding!

We can't say enough good things about Jennifer! To start, she is an absolute expert, and her knowledge, connections and experience were invaluable. We loved every vendor that she recommended to us, as well. There are a million tiny details that go into wedding planning and Jennifer has thought of all of them and knows how to make them perfect. Her creativity is unmatched, and whenever we mentioned wanting to do things less traditionally, she always met the challenge with enthusiasm and came up with some incredibly beautiful and unique ideas. She never made us feel like we were being difficult or unreasonable, even when we had some unconventional requests. She told us in our initial consultation that she wanted our wedding to feel very uniquely "us", and she more than delivered. We were blown away by her thoughtfulness and attention to detail, and we appreciated her input that was helpful without ever trying to pressure us to do things one way or another. Throughout the entire planning process, she was outstanding to work with. She's very responsive and available, she accommodated our tricky work schedules when it came to planning calls and vendor meetings, and she was just so much fun to work with! We are bummed that our time working with her is over! She was excellent support and would follow up with vendors as many times as necessary until we were comfortable and excited about every detail. She was also great about just checking in with us to make sure we were feeling good about everything throughout the process. While we had ideas of what we did and didn't want, we didn't always have clear visions, but she found ways to take our ideas and make them really spectacular. The entire wedding felt very personalized and unique, and so stunning and elegant. She really gets to know her clients very personally and has a talent for translating that into an event that encapsulates them perfectly. Finally, the entire planning process and especially the day of were so easy, both for us and for our families. Jennifer handled every detail and made sure our day was absolutely perfect. If anything went wrong, we never knew it, and it was so great not having to stress or worry about anything the whole weekend because we knew Jennifer had it all covered. She's the best, and we can't thank her enough for helping us plan the most beautiful and perfect day!

We booked Teyanna in 2022 for our August 2024 wedding and did not regret it one bit. It was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Teyanna was beyond accommodating and informative throughout the entire process. Her precise, creative, and professional "client-first" mentality shone through. From countless Zoom calls to meeting up in person to select flowers, it was more than we could have asked for and were expecting. Her professionalism and creativity showed through when we had to improvise our outdoor ceremony to an indoor one thanks to a horrific tropical storm. She called us on the morning of our wedding to ensure we were doing okay and went over every detail with both my husband and me to make sure she and her team didn't miss anything. We cannot wait to work with Teyanna again in the future.

Emily is absolutely incredible! From the very start of the wedding planning process to the big day itself, she went above and beyond to make everything seamless and stress-free. She was always available to bounce ideas off of and provided so much valuable insight. Whether it was creating the perfect timeline, coordinating with all our vendors, or helping me elevate our table decor with creative ideas, Emily’s expertise was evident every step of the way. Her support extended beyond the planning process—she was a tremendous help at our rehearsal dinner and took charge of running the wedding day flawlessly. She and her assistant set up the entire ceremony and reception space exactly how I envisioned it, down to the smallest detail. I was so particular about placement, and they followed everything to perfection. The result was absolutely stunning! Any issues that arose on the wedding day were handled so efficiently that I didn’t even know about them until afterward. Emily’s calm presence and ability to manage everything truly put me at ease. And as a thoughtful surprise, a day or two after the wedding, she sent me behind-the-scenes photos and videos that she captured throughout the day—it was such a special and unexpected gift! Emily is not only an incredibly talented coordinator but also one of the kindest people I’ve ever met. I can’t imagine what our wedding day would have been like without her.

Awarded Best of Zola
Brooke once told me during one of our many consultations, that the name of her business was “practically perfect” because nothing is ever 100% perfect, but her goal is to get it as close as possible. I didn’t realize how right she would be. First off the vendors she chose- the catering, the dj, the hair and makeup artist, the bartender, the florist… every single one of these vendors came through in a big way for me! They all knocked it out of the park, and that’s mostly because of Brooke! She knew what she was doing when she chose them, and she handled pretty much all of the communication. I just had to give approval and tell them exactly what I wanted, and Brooke made sure that happened. You just have to trust that you chose her for a reason and that she is going to make the right decisions. Every single thing about my day exceeded my expectations. Now let’s talk about her professionalism. I had someone at my wedding be… not so nice to her. Not Brooke’s fault. She handled it with grace and professionalism both during and after the situation, and made sure it caused as little of a hiccup as possible during my day. I can’t tell you how much it meant to me that Brooke was there for me every single step of the way taking care of things. I’m sure there’s things she tackled that I don’t even know about, and for that I am grateful also. Brooke, thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you did for me. You never once seemed stressed or overwhelmed which put me at ease during this process. I am so grateful for you, my wedding wouldn’t have been the same without you!
