Jenn Robirds Events

My husband and I live in NYC and we married this past April 2016 in the Yuba-​Sutter area (I’m originally from there). The thought of planning a wedding from across the country was incredibly overwhelming but once we hired Jenn, we knew we would be in good hands. She is poised, professional, and has a great «can do» attitude which is sure to put any bride at ease. She kept us on track with our deadlines, budgets, and offered us alternatives whenever she saw an opportunity for savings.
On the day of the wedding, Jenn and her staff went above and beyond to ensure that everything looked beautiful and that the day ran smoothly. Which it did! We cannot thank Jenn Robirds enough for helping us throw the most epic party ever!

We can’t thank Jenn Robirds enough for the fantastic job she did as our wedding planner! Our wedding was everything we could have dreamed of and so much more, and we owe so much of that to Jenn.
We thought that we were just going to want a «day of coordinator» since I knew I was going to be very hands on with planning the wedding, but after meeting with Jenn and reviewing her packages, we decided to go with her partial planning option. I am so glad we did! We live in LA, but our wedding was in Sacramento at my grandparents’ house, which made finding the right vendors a daunting and frustrating task. Once we found Jenn, everything got so much easier! She found us the perfect caterer, DJ, rentals, lighting, and transportation. She helped us negotiate with each of these vendors to get exactly what we were looking for, and was so helpful and patient with my many, many questions along the way. She was so thorough throughout this process, making sure we had everything we needed in place for our big day.
In addition to being our planner, Jenn did all of the flowers for our wedding and she did an absolutely amazing job! Our flowers were STUNNING and so abundant! There were flowers and greenery absolutely everywhere all over our venue. My bouquet was so lush and gorgeous I didn’t want to put it down. Jenn was able to get all of our flowers at wholesale cost, and she passed her savings down to us. This allowed us to get so much more bang for our buck, which contributed in a big way to the overall ambience of our venue space. I honestly don’t know how she did it all, but she did a phenomenal job!
On the Tuesday before our Saturday wedding, the weather report had taken a turn for the worse and we began to realize that we were going to have to make some major changes to our plan. Jenn sprang into action and on Wednesday morning she was at our venue with a rental company measuring the space for a tent. She told us not to worry, that she would make everything look like we had planned it that way all along, and she absolutely delivered on that! The new plan that she came with turned out even better than our original plan. The tent she rented was actually really beautiful, clear top with a really cool chandelier. And while we didn’t end up needing it for rain, it was a really nice addition to our space.
I could go on and on about Jenn and how amazing she is. She is incredibly professional, calm, straightforward, super creative and talented, and a fantastic problem solver. On the day of our wedding, we didn’t have to worry about a thing, and our families could relax as well and enjoy the day, which was very important to us. Every detail of our wedding was executed to perfection. Jenn has a fantastic eye, and did such a great job setting up our space. I loved walking through it and seeing all of the little special details. She went so above and beyond, and we are so incredibly grateful. We highly recommend hiring Jenn! It will be the best planning decision you make!

Jenn has completely saved me from Wedding Planning madness.
She knows the answers to all my questions and helps me tactfully communicate with friends, family members, and vendors.
Through email, phone calls, and in person meetings, she helps me keep everything on track.
I was a wedding planner for years and I’m so glad I hired Jenn to help plan my wedding.
I genuinely don’t know how I would handle all this without her. She’s 100% the best!

Jenn is absolutely amazing! I’ve always been on the fence about getting a wedding coordinator because of the cost, but after reading my gospel, Martha Stewart’s Weddings, which stated that hiring a wedding coordinator will pay for itself in the end, I can vouch that is absolutely true. Jenn helped me stay on budget by finding me an incredible photographer for just $ 2000, that’s an insane price. Most photographers of the caliber I hired usually charges around $ 4000 — $ 5000. The other way Jenn really helped me saved money is her ability to make beautiful floral arrangements. She’s a licensed florist and she will also help you get fresh flowers at wholesale. For the amount of work she did and the amount I spent on flowers (which is minimal if you’re looking into florist), she helped me save about another $ 1,500 with the quality she provided.
The whole wedding experience was extremely relaxing. Jenn helped arrange all of the food tastings, vendor meetings, vendor confirmations, and most importantly, any emergency the day/​week of the wedding. She probably dealt with a good three through four emergencies the day of the wedding, which I never knew of until after the event. I was so relaxed the week of my wedding, I even had time to make homemade marshmallows as an extra favor at the dessert table.
What I really like about Jenn is how thoughtful she is regarding your design aesthetic and vision. She is constantly thinking of ways to add tiny detail to make the day more about you.

If you are planning a wedding or social event, run — don’t walk — and hire Jenn to be your coordinator. I could not be more pleased with her work on my recent wedding. Jenn is organized and professional and her design aesthetic is impeccable. We clicked from the moment we met at the first bridal show I attended after getting engaged. I was so impressed with Jenn’s positive attitude and unending knowledge. There was never a moment of doubt that I had found the perfect Wedding Planner.
I wanted an elegant and glamorous event. Jenn seemed to understand exactly what I needed and wanted, even during the moments when I felt I didn’t really know! I wanted to be in charge of MOST of my wedding planning and design, but needed someone to bounce ideas off and execute my vision. I chose Jenn’s Month of Design service — which is kind of a misnomer because it turned out to be so much more! Jenn gave me guidance and advice about most of my vendors, including getting me a discount on my venue which almost paid for Jenn’s services. She reviewed all of my vendor contracts and gave me invaluable advice throughout my eleven months of planning. She was never too busy to answer my emails, and gave me honest and thoughtful advice at all times. I wound up using Jenn’s floristry services after seeing some photos of her other events. That, too, was a blessing. My flowers were so beautiful and unique!
She made sure that my wedding went off without a hitch. Well, there MAY have been a hitch or two, but if there were, I was totally unaware of it, which is exactly what I wanted. Jenn took the worry out of getting married. She anticipated all of my concerns before I could even voice them. She and her staff made sure that my day was perfect.
Jenn is truly a gifted and talented planner. She made my wedding as wonderful as I hoped it would be. I cannot recommend her enough.

If you aren’t using Jenn Robirds, then you’re using the wrong event planner!
We recently engaged Jenn to help with our annual charity auction. I cannot say enough good things about Jenn and her team. They were fantastic. Jenn was professional, organized and solution oriented. Everything you would want in an event planner. We came to her on short notice with a big list of requirements; not only did Jenn deliver, but she and her team went way above and beyond to ensure this event was a great success for us. Vendor management, venue layout and design, catering, organization and presentation of auction items, crowd control, Emcee… the list goes on. Could not have done this event without her !
Many Thanks —

I had the privilege of attending a wedding planned by the amazing Jenn Robirds! Not only is her attention to detail impeccable but she handles the toughest situations with professionalism & grace. Her creativity is unmatched by anyone in the industry and she sure knows how to get the most bang for your buck! I would absolutely recommend Jenn to anyone looking to hire a planner for an important event. Her talent will blow you away!

«Get a wedding planner» is fine advice but here’s the good bit — you should hire Jenn Robirds. You’ll get organized, benefit from having a real expert and while you may be skeptical, I can assure you that you’ll save some money.
Jenn kicks some major derrière. Beyond being witty, frank and detail-​oriented, she’s amazingly qualified and knowledgeable. Her ability to mix business acumen with artistic sensibility is an inspiration. It’s rare to find someone who can gracefully bring your half-​visions to clarity, negotiate your contracts and design the perfect lavender-​inspired bouquets for your wedding party.
I could go on and on about her skills. In the interest of time, I’ll share some highlights from Jenn’s tasteful design and superb production of my 260-​person wedding: (1) Jenn gracefully handled a situation that my husband and I have taken to calling «the Great Wine Debacle of 2015» — it’s a story with a happy ending. (2) I’m pretty sure she made a pact with Mother Nature to procure peonies in March. (3) At your request, Jenn can and will very politely wrangle out of hand guests and groomsmen.
A pleasure to work with, Jenn Robirds is someone you can absolutely trust with one of the most meaningful ceremonies and biggest parties of your life.

Jenn is absolutely the best! She planned and executed every detail we wanted and envisioned for our wedding. She has impeccable style and taste. She did the flowers for our wedding and they were gorgeous. Budget wise, she helped me choose options that would fit the look, but not splurge. She spent the months leading up to our wedding making sure we were on track in determining every detail. She also offers suggestions and discounts in stationary. Jenn and her team were there for us, answering questions regarding coordinating outfits, etiquette, timelines, vendor recommendations and so much more. Choosing Jenn Robirds Events was one of the best wedding planning decision we made. Jenn and her team come highly recommended!

We’re local photographers and had the privilege of working with Jenn and her team on a recent wedding down in the Sacramento area. From start to finish, we were highly impressed with Jenn. We’ve worked with a LOT of coordinators, ranging from total noobs to professional experts. Jenn really is a professional expert at what she does. She is SO organized, so on top of every little detail. Her final document she sent out to all the vendors was incredibly helpful and kept the day running smoothly and on time! Overall, amazing experience working with her and we hope to work with her again someday soon!

Jenn is amazingly organized, pleasant to work with, and design-​savvy! She is meticulous with details and does a great job of assisting her clients with the planning process. Her professionalism and a calm nature make working with her a breeze.

Jenn and her staff coordinated my daughter’s recent wedding. She also did all the flowers for this event with a large bridal party and 300 guests. Thanks to Jenn, the wedding was perfect! We worked with Jenn for 6 months prior to the wedding. She was always responsive and managed every detail. Even when small problems arose, she had a solution. Her attention to detail, ability to multi-​task and complete projects is amazing. The wedding day was smooth and well organized thanks to Jenn’s planning. Jenn has great taste so we were confident the flowers and other decorations would be beautiful as they were. Thanks to Jenn and her staff, my daughter had the wedding of her dreams!

Jenn has planned every major event in my life – from birthday parties to my bachelorette party to my wedding – with incredible insight into my taste and preferences, impeccable attention to detail, and an insane ability to juggle a million things with ease. She has a knack for making the best days of your life easier, prettier, and more fun – in fact, she makes the best days better and she takes it all off your plate, so you can enjoy every minute of it! I will work with her again and again (and again).

As a caricaturist of over 20 years I have drawn at many weddings. And I have met many wedding planners — some better than others. I was really impressed with Jenn with her attention to detail as well as calm demeanor. Often at weddings the planner has a panicked look on their face or is running so quickly that they look frazzled — not Jenn. Poise and preparation. It’s a difficult decision to determine who is best for your big day so go with the best. Highly recommend!
