Blue Moon Events -

Meredith & Archie

Our experience with Jenny exceptional from start to finish. You're dealing with much, much more than a day-of planner; she was indispensable through every step of the process. I have no idea how we'd have gotten on without her. Organizing all the moving parts of a wedding can be a mountain of work. Jenny made it all feel attainable and helped us feel comfortable and ultimately "not crazy" - amazing bedside manner, so to speak! Wedding party, parents and vendors were all made to feel calm and collected as well. Tremendously kind and resourceful with great taste to boot (she'll help you with aesthetic decisions or a trustworthy tie-breaker vote if you ask her to). Our wedding had a few shall we say "chaotic" elements to coordinate with the task of execution falling fully on Jenny's plate to hugely successful results. Truly magical. I'll wrap this up as best I can; you have too much to do already, just park it right here with Blue Moon Events and get on with the show. You will not regret it.

Our wedding day was an absolute dream come true, and we owe it all to Jenny and Jeff from Blue Moon Events. From the moment we met them, we knew we were in excellent hands. Jenny and Jeff, the dynamic duo behind Blue Moon Events, not only exceeded our expectations but truly made our special day seamless and stress-free.

Their expertise and professionalism were evident every step of the way. They flawlessly handled all the setup and takedown, coordinating with vendors and ensuring everything was in its rightful place. With Jenny and Jeff at the helm, we didn't have to worry about a single detail, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the joy of our wedding day.

What truly set Blue Moon Events apart was their unwavering dedication to making sure every aspect of our day was perfect. They took the time to meet with us multiple times leading up to the wedding, ensuring all the details were ironed out and that every vendor was on the same page. Jenny and Jeff were the ultimate point people for any questions our guests had, effortlessly managing any last-minute requests with grace and efficiency.

But beyond their exceptional organizational skills, Jenny and Jeff are simply wonderful people. Their kindness, warmth, and genuine care for us and our wedding were evident from our very first meeting. They went above and beyond at every opportunity, making us feel valued and supported throughout the entire process.

We can't recommend Blue Moon Events highly enough. Jenny and Jeff, thank you for making our wedding day the perfect celebration we had always envisioned. You truly are the best in the business, and we feel incredibly lucky to have had you by our side on our special day.

This is long overdue, but I want to share how eternally grateful we are to have partnered with Jenny at Blue Moon Events for our wedding this September. We would happily recommend her to every single couple getting married in the Chicago area. We not only got impeccable advice and structure to ensure our wedding went off without a hitch, but we truly had so much fun in the planning process with Jenny’s kind and infectious energy. We knew we picked a winner when we were having so much fun laughing on the first Zoom call that it ran way over – a trend that continued throughout the next six months.

Jenny went above and beyond to make sure that our wedding was truly what we wanted, even when we weren’t always sure what that was. Jenny was able to provide guidance on all the ins and outs we weren’t thinking about and keep us on schedule with the important dates & decisions. Much more importantly, after getting to know us and our vibe, she was able to offer suggestions that were tailored to us when we were stuck on decisions. When we weren’t sure what we wanted to do for photos as we weren’t doing a full wedding party, her suggestion of bopping around to our favorite spots around our neighborhood was one of the most memorable highlights of our day.

Grateful doesn’t even begin to describe how we feel to have partnered with Blue Moon Events throughout the planning process, and we hope that everyone getting married can have the same experience we did.

If you're looking for a wedding planner you might already know that the wedding planning process can be stressful. Writing this from the other side, Jenny was incredible to work with. Her empathy and insight was so valuable for me and my wife, and we owe it to her for helping us put together such a memorable night with our family and friends.

Our day wouldn't have been the same without Jenny & Jeff. From our first call, we knew Jenny understood what we were looking for and would help us every step of the way. She has such a calming and warm energy which is exactly what you want going into one of the biggest days of your life! She and her husband helped us pull off the most incredibly perfect day. She couldn't have been more on top of all of our vendors and every detail. 11/10 would recommend Blue Moon Events for your wedding!

When we first met Jenny and Jeff of Blue Moon Events, we knew that they would be an indispensable part of our wedding planning and wedding day. From our initial consultation with Jenny to the moment we left the venue, their professionalism, creativity, and genuine passion transformed what could have been a stressful planning process into an absolute dream. Jenny’s attention to detail is unparalleled. She listened carefully to us, understanding not just the basic logistics of what we wanted, but also the emotional vision we had for our day. She helped us navigate complex decisions without ever making us feel overwhelmed. When we weren’t sure what to do or how to go about something, suggestions were provided for us to think about. On our wedding day itself, Jenny and Jeff were on point with everything we had discussed. They seemed to be everywhere and no where at the same time, appearing to guide us to the next item on our Blueprint (e.x. we were taken from cocktail hour to the reveal of the room we had dinner in full of florals and decor- something we definitely wouldn’t have thought to view without guests on our own). Surprise issues were also handled swiftly- Jeff literally had to sew a button back onto my wife’s dress right before the ceremony after she noticed it was loose! What truly sets Jenny apart is her emotional intelligence. She understands that a wedding isn't just an event, but a deeply personal celebration of a relationship. If you are anxious about a first dance or when to cut your cake, I guarantee that she has a suggestion for you to consider. Jenny made sure our unique personalities were reflected in every aspect of the day and was understanding and empathetic about complicated family dynamics, again offering advice to ensure the day went as smoothly as possible. To any couple planning their wedding, I cannot recommend Blue Moon Events enough. They don’t just plan weddings – they alleviate stress, confusion and at the end of it all helped us execute a day full of memories that will last a lifetime.

Jenny & Jeff are the dynamic duo that you NEED at your wedding. They are kind, compassionate, empathetic people and amazing at the work they do. I did not have to stress about a SINGLE thing for my wedding this past weekend. They made my wedding day go seamlessly and created the perfect day for my husband and I. I cannot put into words how much we appreciated their help. Hire them now!!!

Okay, if you read nothing else, read this: I am a therapist, and hiring Jenny and Jeff at Blue Moon was the NO.1 best money spent for me and my husband’s mental health. Period. Want to hire the BEST version of your best friend or family family member who makes you feel like you’re the only client in the world? HIRE THEM!!! (Okay, but now read the rest of this review too!!)

From the moment we met, they were so friendly and warm, making us feel at ease during the stressful wedding planning process. We knew they cared about actually delivering a wedding that was OUR wedding from the first 5 minutes of the meeting, with the way they asked for details about our vibes, our love, our goals, and our aesthetic. Everyone who attended our wedding said how it felt exactly like us, and how every detail was warm and thoughtful and not cookie-cutter at all -- and this was exactly what we wanted.

Jenny was our lead coordinator, and she made herself available for zoom sessions, emails, and texts long before the actual wedding. We now consider Jenny a good friend and are inviting her to our Top Chef bracket next season -- seriously. Jeff was a dream as well. I (the bride) first met Jeff the day of the wedding when he came to pick me and the girls up to go meet the bros for photos, and he felt like an instant family member. He carried all our stuff, kept us on schedule, kept us hydrated, and allowed us to all be 100% “passenger princesses” the entire day, so we actually enjoyed ourself. He absorbed any stress we would have had about being on time for everything -- so thank you Jeff!

They were genuinely fundamental to the success of our wedding, and our mental health staying in tact. They helped us stay calm, and kept everything moving in the right direction behind the scenes so we never had to worry about a thing. They suggested vendors all along the planning process, and they even stayed late to pack up the wedding decor, and delivered it themselves to our apartment THAT NIGHT. Full service doesn’t even begin to cover it!!

Best money we spent on our entire wedding, as they genuinely made ALL our money spent and all our vendors chosen feel so perfect for us, for our budget, and for the best day of our lives. Jenny and Jeff, you are legends and we can’t wait to have you in our Top Chef bracket next season!!!
