    Baby Shower

    Jill did amazing for my baby shower! She was so sweet, really worked with me to know what I would like and what I wouldn’t like for my day, and went above and beyond for me. I would highly recommend her for ANY type of event!

    Wedding Reception

    Jill and her team planned and managed our wedding reception at a local winery. It was truly amazing! Everything was organized and designed just like we planned. Jill was professional, timely, organized, and did a great job meeting our needs. I highly recommend Jill Events and Designs!

    Our absolutely dreamy day!

    We were referred to Jill through a mutual friend. Jill was originally hired as our wedding planner, but also stepped in as floral and designer for our entire weekend. Jill is professional, knowledgeable, is known in the industry and to various vendors in the community. This really helped us in terms of booking our rehearsal and welcome dinner, reception, an after party and day after brunch. Her communication style is open, honest, and forthcoming, she responds quickly regardless of it being email, phone or text. Vendors respect her and enjoy working with her as well. She provided details and text chains to our bridal party and parents, kept them abreast of the activities and timeline. Our guests are still talking about Jill and her assistant, Wendy. If you are looking for someone who can manage every aspect and all kinds of scenarios, you won't go wrong in hiring Jill Smith Events.
