Testimonial from a past client.
This represents the quality of service we provide:
From the start of our wedding planning, we knew that the vision we had was quite a tall order. Rustic, outdoors, budget friendly, and most of all fun for the guests and for us. We also knew that our wedding venue would be a colossal challenge for our soon-to-be coordinator. It was an open field with a fantastic view but no amenities (only electricity!). The plan was to rent a tent for the reception, set up the field with sprawling lawn games, and to create an intimate ceremony space. This was to be an all-hands-on-deck, DIY wedding. We spent a lot of time researching various coordinators and were having trouble finding someone we felt would be able to pull off our unique and personal day. We felt truly lucky when we found SJ Events; Sharisse and her team did all that and more. Prior to the wedding Sharisse was always available to bounce ideas off of, and she had even driven to our house in NJ to meet with us and to do her own strategizing at the wedding venue. The night of our rehearsal dinner Sharisse seamlessly ran through the order of the ceremony with our somewhat difficult bridal party. She then spent much of that evening with her team decorating the empty field including the reception tent, children’s tent, ceremony space, and the lawn games. When it came to the big day, Sharisse followed all of our intricate and detailed instructions. Upon arriving at the venue, the field was transformed! We were thrilled to see that Sharisse had made our vision a reality. It was obvious that she had put a lot of thought and care into every detail. As our day-of coordinator she managed her team with finesse and worked effectively with our photographer, food service people and dj (who she had met only that day). If anything went wrong on our wedding day, we had no idea, as Sharisse had the whole day running smoothly. After the wedding Sharisse and her team thoroughly cleaned up the venue making it look as though the event never happened! Without a doubt SJ Events was a lifesaver. Sharisse saved us a lot of stress and was wonderful to work with.
