Bon Events

Simply put: Bön Events is THE BEST.
Hiring Jennifer & Fern as «day of wedding coordinators» for our ceremony was the absolute smartest decision that we made through our entire planning process.
My now husband & I knew that wanted a small, (stress-​free) and sweet ceremony at an art gallery. And our «vision» ended there.
At our first meeting with Jennifer & Fern, plans and a vision quickly began coming to life. They each listened carefully to the (very few) ideas that we had & provided us with tons more. We were assured that they would handle everything (florals, décor, vendors, contracts, even potential wedding crashers the day of!) We left feeling inspired and confident that we would have a stress-​free (!) and sweet ceremony.
We quickly learned how organized, detail oriented & ON THE BALL these two are. Not to mention a total blast to work with!
After just two short months of their planning with regular updates & easy communication, the big day was here!
To say that Jennifer & Fern created the perfect ceremony for us is a ridiculous understatement.
Every last detail was handled. We had zero stress (woo!) The energy in the room was sweet & fun. The space was transformed into a magical candlelit dream.
It was the best wedding that either of us had ever been to. Our guests are still raving about our fun & unique ceremony. All of our thanks to Bön Events. There are no adequate words to express just how amazing Jennifer & Fern. Truly. The best.

Hackstudio hired Bön Events to plan our Grand Opening and ribbon cutting party and they went above and beyond our expectations. From managing third-​party vendors to decorating to creating an interactive exhibit that our guest could participate in to truly experience our program and venue — the Bön Events team was professional, creative, calm and FUN. If you need a professionally run event that delivers on all fronts, hire Bön Events.

Bön Events did our wedding. We had a bit of an unusual situation – trying to organize at a distance and knitting together a reception across four urban backyards. Jennifer and Dawn did everything perfectly start to finish, prodding us at the right times and responding quickly to any question or issue we raised. Most of all they were very creative in organizing the reception. The guests were to a person impressed and thrilled about how the space worked so well – more than one guest called it «magical.» That kind of sums it up.
Thanks Jennifer and Fern!

What can I say about Jennifer & Fern…
Honestly, no words can describe how amazing these 2 women are, they were supposed to just be our «Day of Coordinators» for my wife & I’s wedding this past October but throughout the year and a half that we used their services we were in contact with them constantly. Furthermore, they were happy and excited to help us make sure that we were on track and that our wedding would be exactly what we wanted. They never made us feel like «just another client» or even once said «you didn’t hire us for this» they were just always there, and always helpful.
They were there for us anytime we needed encouragement or had fears about a decision we had made they were right there to back us up and encourage us to go for what we wanted. They also ran our rehearsal like drill instructors and made sure everyone knew their role, down to how fast they are walking the aisle and where to stand on stage. These women are really a lot of fun to talk to and work with but when it comes down to it they are professionals who take their clients needs very seriously.
We hired them for the «Day of coordination» and when it came down to that they did an amazing job, our wedding probably had a few hiccups that day, maybe even a disaster or two, but my wife and I didn’t see, hear or even suspect anything, more importantly neither did our guests.
Jen and Fern had a staff of 3 people working under them for our event and between the 5 of them not only was our venue completely flipped from «Ceremony mode» to «reception hall» within 30 minutes but the entire night went perfectly. They even went as far as to grab food for my wife and I from the caterers so we wouldn’t even have to get up from our table.
Jen & Fern I hope you read this, Jen & I had our dream wedding, we put a lot of blood, sweat and tears into making sure it happened and I 100% feel like you guys did too. That wedding was the best party of our lives and we owe that to you. Thank you so much for everything you did, we will never forget it.

We have a wonderful time working with Jennifer and Fern. They were our «day-​of» wedding planners for us but they did… oh, so much more!
We started working with them well before the wedding, largely to make sure we were on track with our schedule (catering, entertainment, invites, etc). That went just fine. We also had an added bit of fun (that turned out amazing). My partner and I have been together for a long time and friends didn’t know what to get us since we already have a full house. So when we told our friends of our wedding plans (and planned outfits) they decided to get us a band for the wedding. Which is great but now Jennifer and Fern had the grooms + random friends to coordinate with. Our friends worked directly with Bön Events and they ALSO had nothing but good things to say. In fact, Bön helped them secure the band and work out the final details.
I feel they went above and beyond and made our wedding an amazing event. I didn’t have to think about a thing on our wedding day except to make sure we ate (Bön also had secured food for us at the wedding… since it’s hard to eat when you need to say Hello to everyone) and made sure our guests had a lovely time.
I cannot recommend them enough!

Jennifer & Fern were a joy to work with! They are clear and concise in their needs and their clients’ needs, and they serve as great liaisons between service providers and an excellently planned event. The communication between bridal party, musicians, and Bön Events helped pull off a seamless event. For those getting married, you are able to sit back and relax on your special day while Fern and Jennifer work away tirelessly to ensure it’s success!

Thank you to Jennifer and Bön Events for your vision, creative décor and tireless energy! Cherry Preschool’s 22^nd Annual Jubilee was a HUGE success!!! Your live music recommendation, the seating and table arrangement, and the centerpieces were impeccable and really enhanced our theme. Thank you!!!

Jennifer and Bön Events put their creative juices to work to make our school’s annual fundraising event perfect from beginning to end. The room looked beautiful thanks to their brilliant decorations that were clever and visually appealing. No detail was left to chance. The variety of centerpieces, linen choices, room set-​up/​table configuration, and quality of materials all contributed to our guests feeling like they’d been transported to a different place. We would love to work with Jennifer again and highly recommend them!

Fern and Jennifer planned my 50^th birthday party this past New Year’s Eve. It was beautiful, delicious, and went without a hitch, even with the near blizzard that night. They have excellent taste, great ideas and are a delight to work with. My guests had the best time and raved for days afterwards. I need to have another party so I can work with them again!

Fern and Jennifer are amazing. They decorated my daughter’s Bat Mitzvah and it was beautiful. They have great taste, lots of ideas and are fun to work with. I really enjoyed working with Bön Events and would not hesitate to use them again.

We’ve had the pleasure of working with Fern from Bön Events on a number of events in the past. Most recently the Bön Events team helped us plan our son’s bar mitzvah. Fern and Jennifer are not only a delight to work with, there is not a detail they miss. Plus, they have such unique ideas and can work within any budget. I would (and have) highly recommend them for any party or special occasion and look forward to working with them again.

Jennifer and Fern did a great job as «day of» planners for our daughter’s wedding. The ceremony and reception were in the same downtown space and Jennifer and Fern were on hand to see that deliveries were on time and that all the vendors were adhering to their contracts. They also met us at the venue a couple of weeks before the wedding for a walk through with the caterer. In addition they attended the rehearsal and offered their advice. We found them easy to work with and they offered another valuable point of view and walked the line of giving advice and not pushing ideas onto us. It gave my wife and I much piece of mind that someone was working behind the scenes to see to it that all was going well. I thought Bön Events was well worth the cost especially in our situation where there was not a coordinator that was going to be in attendance the entire evening. Of course just because you have a day of planner does not mean everything will go just as planned. There were just a couple of things we wish they had done differently, but they were open to our feedback and these two issues were relatively minor issues and I am sure they put out bigger fires along the way that helped our day run very smoothly. Unilocal does not allow fractions of stars, but if it did I would give them 4.75 stars.

Jennifer planned a wedding for me and my wife. Not only was she thorough and professional, but she was really fun to work with.
Jennifer managed to wrangle a boat load of out of town guests, two parades, a ring bearer who fell down a spiral staircase DURING the ceremony. She found us a woman who made letter press posters on a machine from the 19^th century. She found a disgruntled baker who was willing to bake us an amazing cake for a song to spite her former employer! She indulged our ridiculous wedding fantasies and made them part of a whole evening that had cohesion and made sense.
She made our wedding into something very, very special. It was beautiful, stress free, unique and was an amazing party! We go to weddings secure in the knowledge that ours was probably better.
If you’re looking someone to plan your event, I highly recommend Jennifer and Bön Events!

Jennifer and Fern are a great team with impeccable taste! Bön events is easy to put all your trust in, they have vast resources and really original ideas.
Great ladies to work with, can’t say enough good things! Totally recommended!

If you want your event to be unique, memorable and meticulously planned, you really can’t go wrong with Bön Events. Jennifer and Fern are easy to work with, quick communicators, highly organized planners, and most importantly, they have amazing ideas and the great taste needed to pull them off with a lot of style. They work to realize your aesthetic vision for your event, and then they do all the hard work so you can enjoy your big day! Can’t recommend them enough — well worth every penny to make sure things run smoothly and look gorgeous.
