Jenna Culley Events

Fantastic experience: First, there is a true and very present reason why Jenna Culley Events has a 98% 5-star rating: they genuinely care about you and your event. JCE puts you first—always—and if something isn’t right, they will make it exactly the way you want it. They are with you every step of the way, through thick and thin. My team of planners started with me when I had almost no concrete ideas and stayed with me all the way to the last song…and even getting wine out of my wedding dress. They are a full-service team who quickly begin to feel like family. Communication is quick, kind, and incredibly helpful. You can tell that the entire JCE team wants everything to be exactly as it should be. During wedding week, my planner, Sara, and I were completely ready to rock and roll, and on the day-of she had every single detail handled. My only job was to be the bride, and Sara and her team took care of everything in sight—right down to having a drink ready for me the moment I walked in. They checked in not only on me, but also on my husband, my bridal party, my family, and even our other vendors. They truly are a super-team, and they made the day absolutely wonderful. I honestly wanted to take them all home with me! There are not enough words to describe how phenomenal the JCE team is. If you are looking for a wedding planner who will make your day stress-free, fun, seamless, and filled with support—as well as someone who becomes your personal cheerleader—this is the team you’re looking for. You will not regret it.

Fantastic experience: Jenna Culley Events truly made our wedding day unforgettable. From our very first meeting all the way through to the end of our reception, their team made everything feel effortless and seamless. Katie was amazing. She helped us bring our vision to life even when we weren’t quite sure what that vision was at first. With her guidance and creativity, she helped us narrow down ideas and finally see what our reception would look like. The morning of our reception, we had a few last-minute changes that needed to be made. With just one message to Sara, everything was handled immediately. Her calm, professional, and reassuring response helped ease our nerves and reminded us we were in the best hands possible. They also made sure we got to see our space before guests arrived, which was such a special moment for us. The entire night flowed perfectly thanks to their attention to detail and behind-the-scenes coordination. They were always present when needed, but never intrusive, it truly felt like magic how smoothly everything ran. As a lesbian couple, it was incredibly important to us to work with a team that was affirming and inclusive. We never once felt uncomfortable. Their warmth and respect made us feel completely at ease and celebrated for who we are. When my wife and I reflect on our wedding, we’ve often talked about whether we’d hire a planner again, especially at this price point. While we did meet with other planners who were less expensive, we can say without a shadow of a doubt that Jenna Culley Events was worth every penny and more. The peace of mind, calm, and care they provided are truly priceless. If we ever plan another event, we wouldn’t hesitate for a moment to hire Jenna Culley Events again. They went above and beyond in every way, and we are endlessly grateful for the incredible memories they helped create.

Fantastic experience: Going with Jenna Culley Events to plan our wedding was the best decision we made! We were paired with Heidi, and her vast knowledge of weddings and the planning process was invaluable. We went with a close to full-scale planning package and we started planning in September 2023 for our June 2024 wedding. We had a fusion Hindu-Christian wedding and we wanted it to be all in one day. While I found most of the vendors, Heidi coordinated with all of them and provided amazing insight along the way as to how best to incorporate both of our cultures into one beautiful event. We had regular meetings with Heidi, and she sat in on our vendor meetings as well! We also used JCE’s sister company, Linen Effects, for all of our event design and decor and it everything came together in the most spectacular way! Jenna herself helped us build the perfect aesthetic for our wedding and we could not have been happier. One of the coolest things they have in their inventory is this 8x8’ gold square structure that we used as a mandap for the Hindu ceremony, and then they were able to convert it into an altar for the Christian ceremony! We had vibrant colors and I was worried about it looking gaudy or overdone, but all the elements were balanced so tastefully and we were in awe. They also made sure they worked within our budget, which was very appreciated. The day-of coordination was impressive and flawlessly executed and resulted in the most perfect wedding day for us. ❤️ We cannot recommend Jenna Culley Events enough!

Fantastic experience: Jenna Culley Events were a joy to work with, they made the planning process SO easy and fun for us (special thank you to Heidi and Paige!). There are things that we would never have thought could be within our budget that they helped us make happen (like a harpist for our ceremony, such a dream !). The vendors they found for us - hair, makeup, photography, florals, cake - were incredible, professional and kind. JCE taking care of the logistics and timing with the vendors was HUGE for us and allowed us and our families to not worry about a single thing on the big day. Paige, Sandra and Erin made sure everything flowed smoothly. There is absolutely nothing about our day that we would change or have done differently, it was perfect and so ‘us’, and that is definitely thanks to Jenna Culley Events.

Fantastic experience: Jenna and her team went above and beyond our expectations, not only on our actual wedding day in June 2025, but throughout the entire planning process. We were fortunate to work with many of the staff, including Heidi, Erin, Breeyen, and of course, Jenna. I truly cannot recommend Jenna Culley Events enough! Jenna surrounds herself with the most talented people and the best vendors in Minneapolis, and every single one of her suggestions exceeded our expectations. The team’s dedication, creativity, and attention to detail brought our dream to life in a way we could never have imagined. As out-of-towners, my husband and I never felt stressed during the planning process because Jenna and her team had everything under control. With a guest count of over 350, it was so important to stay organized and on top of all the moving pieces and the JCE team ensured we stayed on track every step of the way. They were always available to talk through the process and find solutions that worked best for us. I still look at our photos daily, in awe of how they took my Pinterest boards and transformed them into something even better than I imagined. Thank you, Jenna and team, for creating the wedding day of our dreams, an experience we will cherish forever!

Fantastic experience: JCE was an amazing group! Having Katie as our month of coordinator was such a blessing. She was on top of every detail, provided her expertise, and made sure our day ran so smoothly. She was fun and so easy to work with -- can't recommend JCE and Katie enough!!!

Fantastic experience: After seeing how seamless my sister’s wedding was with Jenna and the JCE team handling day-of coordination, I knew I wanted their full-service planning and day-of support for mine—especially since I was planning from out of town. I had the pleasure of working with Heidi, who made the entire process feel organized, manageable, and genuinely enjoyable, even from afar. Her calm, confident presence on the big day was exactly what I needed, and her team was always a step ahead. I truly couldn’t have done it without them. Hiring Heidi and the JCE team was one of the best decisions we made, and I can’t recommend them enough for any wedding or event planning needs!

Fantastic experience: We couldn't recommend Jenna Culley Events more for your wedding planning (both advance planning and week of / day of). We used Jenna Culley Events for advance planning such as day of transportation of guests and florals. They managed these bookings completely and were so helpful and accommodating with our questions, especially with us living out of state and needing to plan from a distance. The week of and day of planning and coordinators were absolutely phenomenal. They managed everything impeccably and with poise down to the last minute detail, which was especially challenging given all the added logistics of having our ceremony off-site from the venue. Couldn't recommend them enough!

Fantastic experience: We didn't actually end up using JCE but she was such a big help and steered us in a better direction for our needs. She is kind, empathetic and an expert at what she does. Anyone would be lucky to work with Jenna.

Fantastic experience: We hired Heidi at Jenna Culley Events for our October 2024 wedding. This review is a little delayed because I am still in disbelief and awe at the event they helped to create for us. I was never someone who had a "vision" of what I wanted and even had a hard time articulating my desires for the event. Somehow, Heidi was able to understand what I was trying to depict to create the most beautiful event possible. It was genuinely more beautiful than I could have imagined. During the day of the event and for months after, our guests have given very high reviews of our event and were so amazed by the work of JCE on that day. If I had known my wedding could be as stunning as what it was, I would've been dreaming about it from day one. The process was so fun and EASY! Heidi absolutely saved our life in the process and helped manage even last-minute issues, so that my wedding week was relaxing! I couldn't have been more calm during the planning process and I owe that all to Heidi and the JCE team. My husband and I are out-of-state and never had to worry about a single thing. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend JCE to everyone I know and I wish I had another event in the works just to get the opportunity to work with them again. Thank you guys so much!

Positive experience: Overall, we enjoyed working with Jenna Culley Events. We hired JCE to help us with both the initial planning and also day of coordination. As someone who likes planning and staying organized, looking back, we could have just used JCE for the day of coordination as it was easier for me to just reach out to a lot of the vendors in the early stages. With that said, JCE does allow you to remove services as you go so you don't end up paying for services you don't use. It was lovely to have someone be the middle person for any difficult conversations we needed to have about decisions we were making re our wedding plans. As far as day of, it was great to have someone there who handled all of the vendors so we really didn't have to think about it! One things to note, it did seem like since JCE owns Linen Effects (a decor rental company) that the coordinator team was spending time setting up rentals and not necessarily watching all that was happening or rehearsing with the wedding party. For example, we were bummed that no one was really watching the entrance to the venue, so guests that arrived early did end up seeing us prior to the ceremony since we were going about the venue for pictures.

Fantastic experience: Working with JCE Events was an absolute pleasure! Heidi and her team were incredible from start to finish—attentive, organized, and truly invested in making our wedding day perfect. Their attention to detail, creative problem-solving, and seamless coordination made everything stress-free and enjoyable. We couldn’t have asked for better support and are so grateful for their hard work. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: We hired Jenna and her team for our July 2024 wedding. As an career event planner myself, I had a clear vision of the day and high expectations for what our wedding planners would provide. Jenna and her team exceeded these exceptions and truly helped make our dream wedding come together. From our first call, I felt like Jenna understood us and was just such a fun and kind person to work with. Liz, our lead planner, was amazing as well and took care of so much for us. They made every meeting fun, were quick to pivot when we needed, and never said no to an idea I had, even if it was something they hadn't previous done. They helped us determine the perfect venue for us and then connected us with all of our other amazing vendors, they really know the best of the best in the industry. JCE's talent really showed in the design process, and it was so incredible to see them turn my huge Pinterest board into reality on our wedding day. They made sure my husband I were solely focused on enjoying the wedding day, and handled everything else for us. I need to also shoutout Leah, another Lead Planner, who supported us day-of and not only crouched behind me in photos holding my train to protect my dress from the rain, but also sewed on my bustle when one loop was missing. I would recommend them over and over again - love you, JCE team <3

Fantastic experience: The greatest team! The whole team was knowledgable, easy to work with, and made our wedding day a breeze. I knew they had every detail handled and that things would be managed without anyone having to bother my husband or me while we were getting ready and enjoying our celebration. I would recommend them to anyone planning an event.

Fantastic experience: We had the pleasure of working with Jenna Culley Events, and specifically Liz, for our wedding day, and we couldn't be happier with our experience! Liz went above and beyond to ensure that every detail was perfect, making our day truly special. From the initial planning stages to the final moments of our celebration, her dedication and expertise shone through. She was incredibly organized, attentive, and proactive, handling everything with ease and grace. Liz’s creative ideas and calming presence helped us feel relaxed and confident throughout the day. We received countless compliments from our guests about how seamlessly everything came together. If you're looking for a wedding planner who genuinely cares and delivers exceptional service, we highly recommend Jenna Culley Events and Liz. Thank you for making our wedding day unforgettable! Zack & Kelly Starkey

Fantastic experience: This is a delayed review but I had to do it because Jenna Culley event is the best ever! We planned our wedding from out of state and Jenna's team did a fantastic job helping us. Heidi and her team ensured a seamless wedding day for us we did not need to worry about anything! They are super professional and attention to detail orientated. It was such a dream and I loved working with them. Highly recommend they are the best wedding planner ever!

Fantastic experience: My company Music Video Photo has had the privilege of working alongside Jenna Culley for many years in the events and hospitality industry, and I can confidently say that she is the shining light of any event she touches. Jenna’s attention to detail is unmatched, and her passion for creating unforgettable experiences is truly inspiring. From her early days in New York, mastering the art of planning and executing over-the-top events at high-end private clubs, to launching her own successful business, Jenna Culley Events, in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area, Jenna has consistently demonstrated an extraordinary ability to turn the unimaginable into reality. Her big city experience, coupled with her Midwestern warmth, makes her a force to be reckoned with in the industry. Jenna has been a strategic partner in the success of Music Video Photo, and her friendship and collaboration have been invaluable. If you’re looking to make your event unbelievable, unforgettable, and unimaginable, Jenna is the person you want by your side. She doesn’t just plan events—she brings visions to life, making the impossible possible. I wholeheartedly recommend Jenna for any event, big or small. With her on your team, you’re guaranteed an experience that exceeds all expectations.

Fantastic experience: JCE went above and beyond to make sure our wedding went seamlessly. Their staff is professional, prompt, and obviously experienced in doing what they do. I moved out of the country during mid-planning (we came back to MN for our wedding) and couldn’t have imagined doing this without them. Not only did they make it abundantly clear that they were always listening and willing to help, they made us think about things we never would have thought of when it came to planning our wedding. From reassuring us that if we had any stress or concerns, to let them know; to literally having a list of emergency items on our special day (like bobby pins, tide sticks, to chewing gum). They even brought all of our belongings back to the hotel for us. It was unbelievable and everyone was thoroughly impressed! Another huge plus is that JCE teams up with Linen Effects, so we didn’t have to research a decor/design company. They really did it all and we won’t hesitate to recommend their services to anyone that wants the perfect wedding or event.

Fantastic experience: I work with a lot of vendors and suppliers in my day job, so I know exceptional customer service when I see it. Jenna and her team were FLAWLESS start to finish and made the process of planning a wedding fun! Our wedding was very complicated and unique - Jenna's team really listened and got to know us as people. We felt like their only client. Their stellar reputation also assures you get the best of the best treatment from everyone they work with. Just go with Jenna Culley, you'll thank me.

Fantastic experience: Jenna and her team rocked out 80th Anniversary Party! They made our event so memorable down to the smallest details. Jenna and her team were easy to work with and very responsive. I would recommend them to anyone!!

Fantastic experience: We had an amazing experience with Jenna Culley Events for our North American Sales Kick Off in Minneapolis! They were very agile and selected amazing venues for all events! Impressing high performing salespeople is challenging and JCE absolutely delivered. The dinner venue was the best. The gift bags were a huge hit! I highly recommend JCE for your next event!

Fantastic experience: Heidi and the JCE team are the absolute best, would choose them again and again! They were extremely professional, on top of everything, Heidi picked up and took on tasks before we could even think to do them, and the full staff the day of made sure every detail was perfect down to making sure we got to try the appetizers and dessert. If you are thinking about going with a wedding planner it's JCE or bust!

Fantastic experience: I am SO grateful I had their help for my wedding, I truly don't think the wedding planning would have ever actually happened without them. My fiancee and I were engaged for about 3 years when we started trying to wedding plan, and then we're at 4 years engaged when myself, my fiancee, and my mom accepted we needed help, as we hadn't even managed to choose a venue yet. Heidi was AMAZING. She offered the perfect amount of help and direction. I wanted to make the decisions for the wedding, but I was overwhelmed with options and knowing what to pay attention to. She listened to my vague vision, and would send me 3 options at a time. I'd give her feedback about what I did and didn't like about the options, and she'd send me 3 more as many times as I needed. She was there to answer any questions I had. Seriously, we sent back and forth ENDLESS emails, as that was my preferred communication method. When I got overwhelmed with decisions (decision fatigue was bad at times), I would just email Heidi, and she'd tell me what she recommended. Like I had no idea what color to put the moms in, so I asked Heidi, and she gave me her recommendation. Or I didn't know what fun color to have the bridesmaids' shoes in, and she recommended grey. Which initially I was like that's so boring! But then I went to a store and compared the cloth swatch for the dresses that I had to some shoe colors, and she was totally right! Seriously, I can't sing Heidi's praises enough, my wedding would not have happened without her. Whenever I didn't know my next steps, she would send me a checklist. She made sure I did everything on time so we didn't fall behind. I wanted to have a fun and classy Geek themed wedding, like the one where you walk into the wedding and you just know who's wedding you're at. But it's also very tasteful. And Heidi helped me achieve exactly that! Everyone has been telling me how much fun they had at the wedding! And as part of our package we also had a FANTASTIC Day of Coordinator Leah!! She worked with us and Heidi in the weeks leading up to the wedding to make sure everything was clear and organized and she knew exactly what we wanted. She helped us nail down the timeline, and coordinate with all of our vendors. She even helped us transport bunch of our stuff to the venue! Then the day of, she made sure everything went off without a hitch. Literally, nothing went wrong! At least nothing we knew about haha. We were able to just relax and have fun the whole day! She trained us very well that if anyone asked us a question, our answer was "go ask Leah" which we did a couple of times, and she took it from there! Seriously, if you want the planning process of your wedding to be easy and the day of to go off without a hitch, I cannot recommend Heidi and Leah enough!! I'm actually sad we don't get to email them a bunch anymore, they're so wonderful!!

Fantastic experience: Hiring Jenna Culley Events was the best decision we made. Working with Heidi allowed for us to plan a successful and memorable wedding weekend in St. Paul from Atlanta in just under 9 months. Heidi’s “only handle it once” approach to organization and planning is very much in alignment with how we operate. We never felt like an agenda was being pushed; instead, she was completely receptive to digging in and executing OUR vision. From assisting us in handling vendor communications (I think we had 20+ overall), to making sure our day-of went smoothly, we were fully covered. Because of her decades of industry knowledge, not only did we have a gorgeous wedding, we also enjoyed the planning process. We cannot thank you enough, Heidi!

Fantastic experience: I can't say enough good things about Jenna Culley Events!! As a fellow wedding vendor, Jenna and her team understand the details we need on a transportation side to make the day run smooth. I have worked mostly with Jenna and Heidi from the team. They are the absolute best to work with on planning any event!!

Fantastic experience: Heidi, Jenna, and the whole team are an absolute dream! Working with JCE was the best choice my now-husband and I ever made. Heidi was such a joy to work with. Every detail was thought of and taken care of before we even had a chance to stress. Wedding planning was, dare I say, easy. And that is 110% thanks to Heidi and JCE. Our wedding day went so smoothly, and we were so confident that everything would go well even if a problem did come up, because the day-of-coordination was so well thought out. Looking back on our past year, there is nothing more we could have asked to be done by JCE. It really feels like Heidi and JCE really did everything for us. We would make the decision to work with them again a million times if given the chance!

Fantastic experience: The team did a great job! They handled everything from bigger issues to smaller things to things I didn't even think about. They helped fix a flower arch that was blown over by the wind and contacted the florist to come back. They helped with the bustle that I knew HOW to do but was having trouble actually getting the little buttons into the tiny loops. They transported gifts from the reception back to my hotel room during the reception. They came prepared with a handy container to handle all kinds of emergencies. They started the day off right by announcing that from that time forward, any issues should be brought to them and not the bride and groom so they could enjoy their day! I definitely recommend their service!

Fantastic experience: Jenna Culley Events completely surpassed our expectations and then some when it came to planning our wedding and putting together a beautiful event. From our initial consult with Jenna, she seemed to understand exactly what we wanted, and paired us with Liz, who was the perfect fit for us. Liz was there with us every step of the way, and in turn paired us with amazing vendors and helped us execute a day that felt truly flawless and was absolutely beautiful. My husband and I felt no anxiety the day of our wedding both because of how well Liz and JCE handled planning it, and because of their overall demeanor when it comes to interacting with their clients. I couldn’t recommend this company more. Thank you Liz and JCE for making our wedding a day that we will cherish for the rest of our lives.

Fantastic experience: It took me a while to write this review because I needed to meet the character limit, and I could write an entire book about our fantastic experience with Jenna and JCE! First of all, I am that bride. I am a perfectionist, and usually in control, but didn't want to plan a wedding, but also wanted to be involved with decisions. My husband and I also decided it would be great to change jobs, start planning an out of state move, and maybe throw in some egg freezing during our two year engagement. While we lived our crazy life, Jenna and her team handled the logistical nightmare that was our request to have our wedding on a private island in the middle of a lake in a state that neither of us lived in. Not only did Jenna and I immediately connect in our first conversation, but it was SO easy to tell she is just a DOER. I never once felt like a ball might be dropped, or something overlooked. (This includes but is not limited to set up and take down of an entire different tent, a flooring solution, placing glitter on flower petals, fogging the grass for bugs, dealing with a brand new venue staff...you name it--she had to deal with it). She catered to our many very specific requests, found me the perfect vendors who also were wonderful, and helped my vision come alive in a better way than I even imagined! (Who thought it was possible ;) ) There were road blocks (big ones), and all sorts of things that came up and Jenna and her team handled them with professionalism and complete cool. She had a solution for everything, and I could trust that she had our best interests, and budget, in mind. It felt like she was just as invested as we were. On the day of, Jenna helped me into my dress, rode with me to my first look, and cooled me off when I was hotter than I've ever been in the heatwave we had. Most importantly she helped us keep our perspective throughout the whole process. The entire JCE team really embodies the "above and beyond" sentiment that is hard to find these days. I really don't know how we got so lucky! While having a formal wedding started out as just a reason to have a big reunion/party after COVID--JCE gave us an intimate, beautiful, super special day that we will remember forever and are so glad we did it. We cannot recommend JCE enough! Jenna, Justin, Erin, everyone--we miss you already!

Fantastic experience: Jenna Cully Events is nothing less than fantastic. Each and every step of the way my wedding planner was there for me to answer any question that I had. Response times were quick and the had the best guidance and advice! On the day of the event, not only was Heidi there to handle everything that went on behind the senses she also made sure everything was perfect for me and my now husband. She refilled drinks, got us water, grabbed us snacks, anything she was there! My wedding party, friends, and family were extremely impressed with their work and agreed that it was one of the best put together weddings they had been in and/or attended. I can't thank or recommend Jenna Cully Events enough!

Fantastic experience: We had an incredible experience working with Jenna and her team for our wedding! They were on top of every single detail, impressively proactive, easy to talk to and communicate with, and very clearly cared about both doing the job well and making sure we were happy the entire way through. We could not recommend them more!

Fantastic experience: We had the wedding of our dreams thanks to Jenna and Jenna Culley Events. They made everything so effortless, from design planning and vendor selection to the day-of execution. Jenna's creativity and expertise in the wedding industry truly shined, coming up with unique ideas that embodied us as a couple that we never would have thought of on our own. Everything came together even better than we had imagined. On the day of our wedding, we can attribute being able to relax and enjoy every second of the day thanks to Jenna, Leah, and the rest of the team. We were not worried about logistics or coordination and were able to enjoy the flow of the day and soak in all the little moments! If we could go back in time, we wouldn't change a thing! We would hire JCE 100 times over again. We cannot recommend Jenna and her team enough!!

Fantastic experience: Where do I begin! We were gifted the help of a wedding planner by my in-laws, and I am just so thrilled we chose Jenna Culley Events. We interviewed many people, and if you are now in that same spot, no need to look any further. This is your planner! We worked with Heidi throughout the planning process, and she was unbelievably responsive and helpful! We often sent emails to Heidi late at a night and would be shocked to get a response minutes later. I don’t know when she sleeps. Jenna and Heidi made every idea come to life and recommended the absolute best vendors to work with. Our day was perfect because of them and all of the behind the scenes work they did. Before the big day, they took all of our DIY and sentimental items off of our hands. I know that some wedding planners won’t handle the DIY items so this was such a relief, particularly to my mom, who would have been the one doing all of that. At the end of the night, they gathered everything and offered to take it all back to our hotel. I really cannot say enough good things about Heidi. She was a dream to work with and genuinely a fun and kind person to be around. They thought of every single detail and Heidi and our day-of coordinator Liz managed to be everywhere all at once the day of the wedding. They made the day so easy and had such a calming presence. We are beyond thrilled with their hard work and so happy to have connected with them early on in the planning process!!!!

Fantastic experience: My husband and I worked with Jenna Culley Events for our Wedding. Amazing team to work with throughout the wedding planning process. Great communication and extremely experienced team. Heidi was our Lead Planner and she did an amazing job of bringing our day to life, and we know there were many other team members behind the scenes that work hard to make our day what it was. We really appreciated the attention to detail and knew our planning was in good hands. Would highly recommend working with this team!

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend choosing Jenna Culley Events. I worked with Jenna and Betsey -- who were both lovely to work with and very creative + supportive from day 1 to any need or idea as it came up planning for our wedding. Betsey in particular went above and beyond especially in the lead up to the event -- making sure that every detail was followed up with and executed well across the many moving pieces / vendors.

Fantastic experience: When we were laying on the beach on our honeymoon, we talked about the biggest takeaways and pieces of advice we’re going to tell our friends who are getting married the next few years. Number one on that list was working with Jenna Culley Events. From the start, our planner Betsey Palmgren was an absolute superstar. She was extremely organized, thoroughly communicated with vendors and kept all the planning on track when we completed a cross-country move in the middle of a wedding year to California. And that was all before the big event. On our actual wedding day, Betsey and her team were incredibly punctual, helpful and organized. Everything we planned was executed to perfection. Oh, and they’re wonderful people -- which makes the whole experience a 12/10. Seriously, we can’t recommend Jenna Culley Events (and Betsey!) enough.

Fantastic experience: I hired Jenna and her team to help plan a large bridal shower I recently hosted. She and her team did an absolutely incredible job and Jenna is a gem to work with. Every detail was handled well and her creativity allowed us to have an exceptionally successful event. She’s diligent, very responsive and has a wonderful cadre of vendors. I am so very happy with the outcome! Whether a large corporate event, an intimate party or a wedding of any size, Jenna Culley events can handle them all!

Fantastic experience: WOW! Jenna and team created a memorable event for my daughters bridal shower! The details were stunning - signage, flowers, flower wall for pictures_amazing! Thanks to a creative team for putting together something special for friends and family!

Fantastic experience: We worked with Jenna and Heidi from Jenna Culley Events, and from our initial consulting call to the very end of our reception, working with the JCE team was amazing. My husband and I had a shorter engagement, and both of us were incredibly busy with work during the majority of that time. We wouldn't have been able to pull off our wedding without JCE! Working with Heidi made our wedding planning process and the wedding day itself so smooth. We are incredibly grateful for and appreciative of Heidi, Jenna, and the JCE team!

Fantastic experience: Working with Jenna was amazing, she listened to everything I needed. She took control of everything and made my day amazing.

Positive experience: My husband and I loved working with Betsey and the team at Jenna Culley Events to create the perfect design and ambiance for our wedding. Betsey was super responsive, and her organization skills are top notch! She really helped our day run as smoothly as possible. I'd definitely recommend working with her!

Fantastic experience: Jenna and her team were absolutely awesome! We planned our wedding from out of state and truly could not have done it without Jenna. Initially we didn’t think we needed a Planner, but now having been through the experience, it was the BEST decision we made and was worth every penny. Jenna and her team were always professional and responsive - their attention to detail is unmatched. They went above and beyond to work around the limited planning time we had travelling in from out of state - even going to a second food tasting in our place when we couldn’t make a trip up in the middle of the week. Every recommendation that Jenna made as far as vendors was perfect, and we couldn’t have been happier! Jenna truly made the planning experience as stress-free as possible and thought of absolutely everything. We loved working with Jenna and team and would highly recommend them to anyone!!

Fantastic experience: Jenna and her team were great! They really shined the weekend of the wedding, taking care of all of the small last minute details, coordinating the rehearsal and day-of activities and making sure my wife and I didn’t have to worry about anything other than remembering our vows! Leading up to the wedding, they helped us understand timelines and when decisions needed to be made, helped us find vendors and did a lot of that coordination, and had good communication in terms of frequency and mode. All in all, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Jenna to anyone looking to hire a wedding planner!

Fantastic experience: Debbie and I had a beautiful, romantic, loving event. Our relatives and friends have all said it was the finest party they have ever attended. There was a lot to organize, especially during Covid, with multiple delays, vendors failing, hair on fire, etc. Nevertheless, our wedding unfolded like a rare flower. The many fine vendors that Jenna organized for us performed in exemplary fashion, especially The Loring String Quartet, who provided just the right musical touch for the perfect venue at The University Club. We could not have been more pleased with how Jenna and crew brought everything together, up to and through the very last minute of our celebration. Take a look at the photos and you will see what I mean: we experienced a moment of true charm. Our highest encomium to the entire team.

Fantastic experience: My husband and I enjoyed working with Jenna Culley Events for our wedding. From the first phone call that we had I knew we would be getting a high quality experience by hiring them for a day of coordinator. We were paired with a coordinator and had our first meeting to go over any questions and walk through the days details. A couple weeks before the wedding we got an update that our coordinator had a family emergency and would no longer be available for our wedding day. However, they did not leave us hanging, they made sure we were still covered and ensured us we will be taken care of. A week before the wedding we meet with our new coordinator, Betsy. She listened to our plans and details, and helped walk us through all the major and minor details of what her role is in our wedding day. The day of rehearsal, Betsy was on time and professional in helping our wedding party run through the ceremony. The day of the wedding Betsy took care of connecting with all the vendors we hired, taking care of the details we talked about and leading the day according to our timeline. She ensured me and made me feel comfortable that everything was being taken care of, I had no worries but to enjoy our special day. I would highly recommend Jenna Culley Events and their coordinator Betsy, all the work they put in was well worth it when we reflected back afterwards.

Fantastic experience: I have been working with Jenna Culley and her team for many months leading up to my wedding day this past weekend . I knew from the very start, this was the best decision to book them for my wedding planning. I worked closely with Betsey during the process and she is OUTSTANDING. From small questions to big questions , she knew it all. Fast forward to our big day, her and her team made it so seamless. It went perfectly all because of them! If you’re looking for a wedding planner- HIRE THEM!

Fantastic experience: Jenna Culley was an incredible partner for the Woodbury Community Foundation Friends Fest this year as we made a major change in direction, developing a circus act theme. It took a lot of research to find acts, assure the event was consistent with COVID precautions and organize multiple stations around the grounds. Jenna makes it happen!

Fantastic experience: All I can say is WOW! Jenna and her team were so organized and on top of things I cannot say enough good things about them. They took away all the stress of my wedding weekend and I felt relaxed knowing that everything was being taken care of and the day running so smoothly. Each of my other vendors commented to me about how great it was to work with them and how they also made their jobs easier. Would highly recommend to anyone and would love to use Jenna Culley Events again in the future!

Fantastic experience: Jenna was the perfect wedding coordinator for my wedding. She coordinated with all of my vendors and the venue. We had multiple meetings to finalize details. On the day of my wedding, I did not worry about a thing except making it down the aisle without tripping. I literally asked her to do the thinking for me and she and her assistant did exactly that. She handled paying all the final payments to my vendors and oversaw every detail including flowers and music to perfection. I could not possibly recommend her more.

Fantastic experience: Working with Jenna was one of the best decisions we made in planning our wedding! She made planning fun and was great at including the ideas of and addressing the the concerns of not only my wife and I but also our families. She was well organized, a great communicator, and the planning sessions were fun and sometimes filled with tasty snacks. Our wedding turned out to be better than we could have imagined in no small part thanks to Jenna and her team.

Fantastic experience: Jenna is AMAZING!! HIRE HER... THAT'S ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW. Out of all the vendors to choose from, I was positive I wanted a coordinator to help me coordinate all the wedding details before my big day and most importantly on it. Thank the lord I found Jenna. Especially thankful to have her during a global pandemic... I repeated this almost daily. It was my 2020 mantra! Not only does she do her job well--- but, she was a kind soul to lean on during the ups and downs of this year. It was touch and go in the beginning and she consoled and advised us at every crossroad. Jenna Culley Events was the most important role of our day ( aside from the officiant). My husband agreed after our wedding that Jenna and her assistant Liz was worth every penny and more. This was a huge compliment from my husband who didn't think we needed to hire a coordinator prior to finding Jenna-- after, he saw how much value there was in having a support system to streamline our day. Jenna allowed us to be fully present at our wedding and we enjoyed every moment of the day because of her. I'm forever grateful-- Additionally, she's super sweet and down to earth. I entrusted her to shine in her creative ways with my decor and gave her the freedom to do what she thought best. I'm happy I did, she decorated our venue beautifully and better than I would have. Advice for future brides-- let go and trust your vendors. They are EXPERTS and you'll be happy at the end of the day. I had so much peace when I let go and It's because Jenna was 110% behind me all the way. Also, her husband is a rockstar who helped on the day of and he definitely was a nice addition too. We had many compliments from guests about Jenna and her two assistants. ;D THANK YOU JENNA!! xx Love, THE MASONS

Fantastic experience: Jenna did my day-of coordination for our wedding and was absolutely fantastic. From the planning meeting to her staff day-of, they truly helped make our day seamless! We loved them and even recommended to our friends for the later wedding!

Fantastic experience: I hired Jenna Culley events to help with my wedding in 2016. I needed 'day of' services so that I wasn't the go-to person for a wedding with about 115 guests. After speaking with Jenna on the phone, I decided to go with her for our needs. I could not have been happier with the end results. Jenna paired me with a fantastic planner, Betsey. Betsey exceeded all of our expectations which allowed us to interact with our guests. Betsey met with us in person, phone and email and even came to the rehearsal to ensure all went according to plan. I was thrilled with the attention to detail and service we received. After the wedding was over, it felt like Betsey was part of the family. We still keep in touch. I would not hesitate to recommend Jenna Culley Events to anyone planning a wedding.

Fantastic experience: Jenna and her team were so incredibly helpful. Planning a wedding is so much work, we were so grateful to have Jenna to rely on to help us truly think through all of the details and bring our day to life ESPECIALLY through covid re-planning. She was so flexible and key to navigating all of our vendor relationships with our demanding work schedules throughout the planning process. I gave her the general idea of what we wanted and her and her team really brought everything to life better than I could have asked for! We were so grateful for her organization, attention to detail, and over all "we can find a solve for this!" attitude from beginning planning to our wedding day!

Fantastic experience: No matter the event big or small Jenna and her team have got it under control. If we are are heading to an event and they are our coordination team. I know we are in for a smooth day because we can trust they have thought of everything. Thanks Jenna for being awesome!

Fantastic experience: As a fellow wedding planner, I can say that Jenna is smart, savvy, caring and I know she will have the back of anyone in the industry if they need it. This would go double for her clients, so it's easy to refer clients to her if I am booked. She will do a great job for you!

Fantastic experience: HER SERVICE ENDED UP PAYING FOR ITSELF. As a bride, I can't say enough about how wonderful Jenna was to work with. She is so good her service actually ended up paying for itself. My husband and I were married during a 5 day cruise in the Caribbean and held a separate reception for about 190 guests in Minneapolis the day after the cruise. We needed someone we could seriously trust because we would be traveling and cruising the week leading up to the wedding reception. Not only that, but we live in California, so most of the planning was done over the phone. The one time we did come to Minneapolis to meet with her, she literally DROVE US to all of our vendor meetings so we wouldn't have to rent a car or Uber. She sat through all of our vendor meetings to make sure the right questions were asked and that we got exactly what we wanted in style and pricing. Also being out of town there were items we needed shipped to Minneapolis but didn't have a place to send or store them. She let us ship multiple packages to her home. She unboxed, assembled, and brought them to our venue for set up when the time came...at no extra charge. She thinks of every little detail- all of the things that you as a bride don't think of. I honestly could not (lol and don't want to) imagine what our day would have been like without her. It was absolutely seamless! It allowed me to be a guest at my own wedding and not have to worry about the flow of the night or any little detail, but simply enjoy the party. She took care of emailing and communication with our vendors and was able to negotiate pricing with MULTIPLE VENDORS. The amount of money she saved us in the end actually would have payed for her service. On top of that, she worked with us on pricing to fit our budget and was never pushy or made us feel like anything but family. She was prompt with getting back to us and very clear on communication. As far as pulling my vision together for the look of the venue, all I will say is that I am a perfectionist and so, so, so detail oriented. I could not have been more pleased. We could not have found a better planner. THANK YOU Jenna!!!!!!

Fantastic experience: As a wedding photographer, I LOVE working with Jenna! She's so organized, creative, and has a great eye for detail! She'll take good care of you and your event so you can relax & enjoy the day! She's one of the best! Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Our wedding day was beyond amazing all thanks to Jenna. She is so hardworking and has such attention to detail. She also helped navigate us through issues with our venue, always representing our best interest. Hiring Jenna was the best decision we made and I cannot speak highly enough of her.

Fantastic experience: I hired Jenna A Events for planning assistance and day of coordination. Overall, I was very happy with my decision to do so. Jenna has such an upbeat and positive attitude. She is so down to earth and friendly, making me, my husband and family feel really comfortable working with her. When I had questions throughout the planning process, she always had helpful advice. She provided some great referrals for several other vendors I worked with as well. The thing I probably valued the most working with Jenna, was having her handle all of the wedding day setup. Jenna and the florist did an amazing job bringing to life my vision. It turned out better than I ever imagined! And it was so nice that we could drop off our décor with her a few days before the wedding and not worry about any setup on our big day. There were a couple of hiccups on our wedding day, which everyone tells you will happen. It's hard for me to say whether or not those issues would have happened with another planner. Maybe there would have been more, maybe there would have been less. But Jenna took care of any issues that came up with as little involvement of my husband and I as possible so that we could enjoy our day free of stress. I feel that Jenna A Events was worth the investment. I’m sure that both the planning and day of coordination would have been overwhelming for me and not nearly as well executed without Jenna’s help!

Fantastic experience: As a full time event planner I didn’t think I’d ever need someone to help plan our wedding and I was wrong. While other brides are stressing the week and day of their wedding I was extremely calm knowing Jenna had it all covered. She was in touch with all of my vendors and was there to troubleshoot if anything came up. Thank you Jenna for letting us enjoy the experience instead of worrying about the details.

Fantastic experience: Jenna Culley Events was a fabulous partner for planning my daughter’s wedding. Jenna listened to my daughter’s vision for the wedding and used her in-depth knowledge of vendors that could best deliver the look and feel we wanted. She kept our budget in mind and was a great guide and expert through all of the decisions that needed to be made. She helped us lay out a highlevel timeline so we knew what needed to done when. She helped with all of the details at the reception venue and worked around my daughter’s travel schedule (she lived in another state) so that all tastings and in-person meetings could be scheduled when she was in town. She went with us to the rental companies and helped make sure we ordered what was needed and not too much or too little. She also kept track of everything, so we didn’t have to worry about having anything missing on the big day. And she took care of all of the adjustments needed for food and rentals as the rsvp numbers were finalized. She provided great guidance on what needed to be done when, helping us to prioritize and use our time wisely when my daughter was in town. The day of the wedding, she worked with the church and the reception venue to make sure everything was where it needed to be on time and that all set up was happening the way we planned it. When I arrived at the reception, I could see that Jenna had delivered exactly what my daughter was dreaming of. Everything was beautiful and it was exactly the look and feel my daughter wanted. She and her team were there all day and that made it easy for us to take in and enjoy the day without having to be worried about any of the details. Everything was smooth and on time. We could savor the day and celebrate with our friends and family. It was a perfect day.

Fantastic experience: Working with Jenna was the BEST thing we could have done. Her services were actually a gift to us from my mother-in-law. I didn't really want a wedding coordinator, but since she was a gift, we used her. She really proved her worth, though, and made everything run as smoothly as possible. Before the wedding day she was in contact with our church, our reception venue, and all of our vendors, and she made sure we had a master schedule with all of their details and contact information. And then, the wedding day itself couldn't have gone more smoothly. Jenna was on top of everything from the beginning. For example, our reception venue messed up and put the wrong number of chairs at each table, which would have totally thrown off our seating chart. Thankfully Jenna was there and made sure it all got fixed, so we didn't even know about it until after the day was over. She ordered and picked up sandwiches to make sure we ate something before the ceremony, and she even picked up a last minute print order we had. Then there was a change with the bakery and they wouldn't deliver the dessert, so she took care of that, too. At the ceremony, she helped us manage our time and cued everyone in appropriately. Later at the reception, while we were busy dancing and chatting with family, she got everything gathered together for us to take at the end of the night. She made it so simple! I truly, honestly can't say enough good things about Jenna and her event planning. I was blown away by her skill, professionalism, and positive energy, and am forever grateful to her for helping our day be the most perfect it could have been. Thank you, thank you, thank you Jenna!

Fantastic experience: From our first meeting, we knew that Jenna would be a great fit. She is friendly, professional, and organized. One of her greatest strengths was listening to what we wanted, picking up on our sense of style, and recommending amazing vendors who made it all happen for a great price. She translated our dreams into a reality. Jenna was always available to answer our questions and also knew what decisions to prioritize. Although I was very busy with work and living in a different city, she managed to take most of the stress out of the wedding planning process. And we loved that Jenna offers customizable planning packages. For instance, while I felt comfortable picking photographers, I knew I could rely on Jenna’s expertise when it came to other vendors. We also asked Jenna to coordinate day of and were so thankful we did. Jenna, and her assistant Erin, made sure every detail came together so that we could focus on enjoying our day. She has such a light touch, it truly felt like magic! We could not recommend Jenna and Jenna Culley Events more!
