    Unprepared/Little attention to detail

    Overall, we were extremely disappointed. This will be long but I need to share a full review of our experience. It seemed very unprofessional and a lack of attention detail. This was our experience: - I was made aware that I needed event insurance, so I asked what I needed, and was pretty much told to just google it. So I emailed our venue owner and she sent us different websites and an attachment of what it should look like as well as the information we need to fill out. - I sent a long email with all the decor, organized by what I have, where it goes, and pictures of what it should look like; I got an email response confirming they received the list and photos. The day of, it seemed like my email was not read at all, as they were unsure where anything went; my bridesmaids set up pretty much the entire reception. - I asked for the cross at the ceremony, and an arbor was put out there, which I had to ask 3 times over 2 days, including twice on the wedding day, for it to be changed. - One coordinator left before the ceremony, and 2 more came who never introduced themselves to anybody so no one knew who they were. One also asked my dad, "did you guys rehearse yesterday?" which caught him off guard, as there seemed to have been zero communication between coordinators, because we did rehearse, though it was extremely surface level. - *****There were 2 rude comments made to members of our wedding party which made me very irritated. My MOH had a medical emergency and was telling them what she was responsible for because she had to go to the ER, so naturally she was crying, and one of the coordinators said "why is she crying?" when she turned away, but she overheard it. - Another comment was made to our flower guys about their choreography that I had approved, and they were told "you have one opportunity to p*ss off the bride, so I recommend you don't", which made them very nervous and they pretty much scrapped their plan. - The timeline was also not stuck to at all, so I, the bride, had to keep track of it. They never came to get us from wedding party photos before the ceremony so several guests saw me before the ceremony. - My husband and I had a private dinner, and no one came to get us, so our caterer came in to tell us the entire wedding party was lined up to enter the reception so I ran out there, in front of all our guests, to get my veil off/dress bustled/adjust a piece of my dress before entering. - At the end of the night, my husband and I were supposed to have a last dance before a sparkler send-off. The sparklers ended up being lit right away so my photographer had to stop it, which told me there was a lack of coordination with our DJ. Thankfully, we ordered way more sparklers than needed, so we had enough, but it was just the icing on the cake at the end of the night. Thankfully, my wedding party kept a lot of this from me on the wedding day, but they were all very frustrated with the service and debriefed me on it later. J&M Events generally have really great reviews, so I am sure this isn't a common experience, but it very much felt like our wedding was not important to them at all, so several things were overlooked. It almost came across like they do this all the time so they didn't need to prepare for our wedding day. Our wedding was still perfect in our eyes, and our other vendors were phenomenal and helped it be seemless, but I unfortunately cannot recommend this coordinating service.

    Wedding Vendors

    JM Event Co. was an absolute pleasure to work with as our wedding planners. They were incredibly responsive, thorough, and kind throughout the entire planning process. As collaborative partners, they made sure everyone was on the same page and that the couple’s special day went smoothly. JM Event Co. is a vendor we’d enjoy working with again!

    BEST PLANNERS EVER

    We booked JM Events Co. for our 11/21/25 wedding. We got the Gold package. And we can not express enough how happy we were with them! From the time our package started and all the way through the night of the wedding. These two answered all questions, helped navigate vendor coordination, and helped planning and creating timelines. We also ended up using them for tablecloth rentals and florals. I was extremely happy with my bouquet and the bridesmaids bouquets, they came out just like my Pinterest inspo pictures. And same with all the decor. They setup and took down all the decor. But everything was handed with care and setup perfectly. They did such an amazing job and I can’t recommend them enough!! And they are soo sweet and nice and such professionals!

They catered to every detail of the wedding day, which allowed my husband and me to be fully creative with our photo and video work.

Jordan and MKayla are the founders, owners, and lead planners of J+M Event Co. We have a team of experienced event professionals on rotation, and maintain a minimum of 2 team members on-site for every wedding, including at least 1 lead planner. That means you will have either Jordan and a team member, MKayla and a team member, or both Jordan and MKayla on site for your wedding day. According to wedding size, scope, and complexity, your wedding may have more than 2 team members on site, but 2 team members is our minimum for all weddings.
We are available for all types of events large and small, but our wedding clients receive priority booking access. All of our coordinating packages include ceremony rehearsal prior to the wedding day at no additional charge. Coordination of the rehearsal dinner itself, welcome parties, bridal showers, etc are separate services and may be accommodated according to availability.
We assign staff to our booked weddings in advance so that our team members can provide undivided attention to the weddings they are responsible for. The number of events in the same day or weekend greatly depends on the size, scope, and complexity of each event. We may accommodate more than one wedding or event in the same weekend according to staffing and event needs, however, we do not assign more than one wedding or event to the same team members in the same day.
Although our hands-on planning work begins within the dedicated planning window assigned to each package, we ensure our clients are never without support. Our team is always available to provide guidance from booking to the wedding date. Should questions arise or decisions feel time-sensitive, we invite our couple's to reach out. Otherwise, you can expect us to step in more actively once the planning window in your package officially begins. During the planning window allotted in the package you choose, you can expect to hear from us regularly during check ins, scheduled planning meetings, and vendor consultations.
Your wedding day should be experienced, not managed. We provide expert guidance and oversight—from timelines to vendor coordination to on-the-day execution—so you can be fully present in each moment. With more than 7 years of experience and over 100 events executed, our approach ensures every detail aligns with your vision, creating a seamless, elevated experience for you and your guests.
