  • Our absolutely dreamy day!

    We were referred to Jill through a mutual friend. Jill was originally hired as our wedding planner, but also stepped in as floral and designer for our entire weekend. Jill is professional, knowledgeable, is known in the industry and to various vendors in the community. This really helped us in terms of booking our rehearsal and welcome dinner, reception, an after party and day after brunch. Her communication style is open, honest, and forthcoming, she responds quickly regardless of it being email, phone or text. Vendors respect her and enjoy working with her as well. She provided details and text chains to our bridal party and parents, kept them abreast of the activities and timeline. Our guests are still talking about Jill and her assistant, Wendy. If you are looking for someone who can manage every aspect and all kinds of scenarios, you won't go wrong in hiring Jill Smith Events.

    You. Have. To. Book. Jill. As. Your. Wedding. Coordinator!!! Hiring Jill as our Coordinator was truly the best decision we made during our wedding. We hired her in January for our September wedding and she dove right in with us. She is incredible beyond words, there's no way we could have had the wedding we did without her. She's so lovely, easy to talk to, someone you want to be friends with, and such a calming presence. She is incredibly knowledgeable about the wedding industry, has a floral business, and a plethora of decorative options as well, which makes her such a treasure trove. There wasn't anything we asked or threw at her that she didn't have an answer to or couldn't handle. She was so professional when dealing with complicated parent and vendor situations, and exactly who you want helping you on your big day. And her organizational skills! She had binders, folders, everything printed out and notes for days. When our cake topper broke, she went into creative mode and fixed it, no one knew there was an issue to begin with. I have absolutely nothing negative to say about her and will continue to shower her with praise and recommend her to everyone I know. We love Jill and you will too!

    Tori and Marc, it was truly an honor working with you. You were terrific during the planning process, making everything go smoothly! It was also wonderful meeting your families. I look forward to celebrating 2026 after my last ankle surgery! Love you both!

    We had the absolute pleasure of working with Jill for our daughter’s wedding, and we truly could not have asked for a better experience. From start to finish, she demonstrated the kind of clarity, confidence, and professionalism that only comes from deep experience. Jill is not only an expert in the field, but also a natural leader—the kind of person you want on your side when it matters most. Her knowledge of our venue and familiarity with the most trusted local vendors made every decision easier and every detail smoother. The support team was equally impressive: responsive, organized, and always a step ahead. Communication was a standout strength. Jill was consistently quick to respond, always positive, personable and full of thoughtful suggestions that elevated the entire event. Thanks to her guidance, what could have been a stressful process turned into a joyful, low-stress celebration that allowed us to focus on the moment, not the details. If you’re looking for someone who brings calm, creativity, and total competence to your big day, look no further. We are so grateful for everything Jill did to make our daughter’s wedding unforgettable.

    I cannot recommend Jill more!!! Not only did she keep me sane while planning a wedding with a newborn baby, but she also took all of my ideas and ran with them. She was so communicative and helpful and always answered any questions I had. If you had to hire someone, hire Jill!!!
