“Below is an excerpt from the Thank you we sent Jodi and team, which we believe captures aspects of their objectively excellent execution, but also the positive emotional outcome. We feel we have a unique perspective when it comes to evaluating wedding planners, because we had the unfortunate experience of needing to part ways with our original planners. The stark contrast in performance and accountability can be understated - Jodi and her team rocks!
We honestly don’t even know where to begin—you are a lifesaver. Saying yes to us just five weeks before the wedding? That alone deserves a standing ovation. You jumped in with grace, got up to speed, and somehow made sense of our chaos like it was nothing. But your impact went far beyond showing up on short notice. You brought structure, clarity, and care to every step of the journey—transforming what could have been a scramble into something fun and grounded. You are incredibly talented at what you do. From the big-picture logistics to the tiniest details, everything felt seamless. Our wedding was beautiful and full of love, and that is thanks in large part to you. We felt so taken care of—Alissa still talks about how you checked in to make sure she was eating and drinking throughout the day, which didn’t go unnoticed. Mike and I actually joked that we started functioning better as a team once you came into the picture – you literally made our marriage better before it started - LOL. You helped us communicate, prioritize, and actually enjoy the process. Your project management was masterful. Nearly every call came with a clear agenda: what we accomplished, what needed discussion, and what was next. That structure may sound simple, but it requires disciplne and organization, and established structure that provided clarity and forced alignment, and which ultimately helped us move forward with confidence. You never let perfection slow us down—but you also never made us feel like we were sacrificing it either. And when you offered a different perspective, you did so with warmth and grace, always guiding us to better decisions with your experience and steady hand. You were a rock for us—even when we hit a literal speed bump, or two! You commanded the room when it was necessary and made space for celebration to unfold around you. We woke up the next morning (after celebrating until 4:30am—a good sign, right?) and looked at each other thinking: How do we move forward without Jodi as our full-time life planner? We’re beyond grateful for your patience, your poise, and your heart. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. We already miss you. Please stay in touch—and if you're ever passing through Tahoe, you better let us know. With all our love and gratitude,”
