J29 Events Planner

5 STARS!!! J29 Events was an 11/10 experience - if we could give them more stars in the ranking, we would!

We worked specifically with Sabrina Peters for our wedding this summer and we knew from the moment we interviewed her a year ago that she was THE ONE! My husband is Italian (and coincidentally so is Sabrina!), so she was the perfect planner to conceptualize the big day and really nail those traditional Italian wedding moments that were so important to share with his family traveling all the way from Italy.

What really set Sabrina apart was her collaborative attitude that perfectly balanced her impeccable expertise - it was 100% our vision, but she elevated it to something better than we could even imagine. When you're engaged and planning a wedding, you're really caught up in the big picture and the feeling of it all, but Sabrina was crucial to the process because she is so detail-oriented. I always left our brainstorm sessions energized and more excited than ever.

Both my husband and I look back on our wedding day and agree that it was even better than we could have imagined - and it would not have happened without Sabrina and her team! Full disclosure we opted for the Full Planning package and it was worth every penny. Sabrina has been in the industry so long, her wealth of knowledge on tips and tricks to save (but also when to spend) really helped us stay close to our budget, but achieve the final product that we wanted. She was also a great emotional support during the roller coaster that is planning and we became great friends after it all!

The J29 team is amazing and we couldn't recommend them enough!

J29 was the best decision I made for my wedding. I don't know what I would have done without Shauna. She is diligent, organized, hilarious, and was my emotional/mental therapist throughout the whole wedding planning. She even made me the most beautiful custom designed wall to bring my vision to life. J29 really listens to how you vision your wedding, and every little detail was SO perfect. Not to mention every twist and turn, Shauna was on it to make sure it wasn't a problem! I'm confident that if I had a storm coming to my wedding, they would have turned that into a beautiful storm wonderland wedding. I loved every second of my wedding and I highly recommend them!

Lois with J29 was an absolutely amazing coordinator to work with for our wedding. I thoroughly enjoyed our meetings together and truly felt like we were always on the same page because she always took the time to talk it out with me if we hit a bump in the road. Because we chose an extremely remote location about 1.5 hours away from all of our vendors with no cell service and minimal power everything had to be planned out to a T and we needed to make sure we had a backup plan for weather and power sources on top of that. She thought of everything and really put me at ease even when we had to change things based on the weather the week of the wedding. She even went out of her way to track down umbrellas for us a few days before the wedding. The original reason we wanted to get a coordinator was so that we could enjoy the day and so no one, including family, would have to stress about making the day go smoothly. Lois did just that and truly made it the best day we could've imagined. Thank you so much Lois!

Shauna was the best planner + partner I could of asked for planning our wedding. Shauna and her team went above and beyond to make our vision come to life in a little barn in Oregon. Shauna is super detail oriented, organized, and collaborative with our other vendors. She made me feel at ease, and I had nothing to worry about the day of because we frequently chatted leading up to the wedding regularly and she ensured everything on track. I would definitely recommend J29 Events and would love to work with Shauna again someday!

Shauna and Lois are an absolute dream team!!! From the very beginning, they made my family and I feel seen and heard. They took the stress out of wedding planning and made the entire process more fun. I worked mostly with Lois who is innovative, kind, and efficient. She saved the day many times and became a friend I will forever cherish. Thank you J29 for all of your hard work and love. You made our wedding very memorable.

To those doing their research on wedding coordinators and to those on the fence…J29 has our HIGHEST recommendation.

We got married on September 17th and I honestly don’t know what we would have done without Shauna and the J29 team.  We hired them for full-service planning – which they describe as the ‘hand holding’ package on their website – and that’s exactly what it feels like.  Planning a wedding can be incredibly stressful, but J29 took the stress out of the equation and actually made the entire process fun! We looked forward to every meeting and always left feeling accomplished and even more excited to see the vision Shauna was putting to life. We didn’t have to worry about making sure we had our bases covered because we quickly realized just how on their game J29 events is.  And that’s saying something, because we are both type-A and very meticulous.

Throughout the planning process, Shauna was able to capture the vision of our ‘perfect wedding day’ through constant ad-hoc communication as well as in-depth scheduled meetings.  She was responsive and addressed all of our calls, emails, and texts and after a few weeks, it felt like working with a close friend. She never once gave off a ‘close enough’ mentality; her high drive and attention to detail is palpable.

It doesn’t just take someone with the characteristics of a good planner to make a good planner.  J29 is well connected in the industry – and they clearly only network with the best of the best.  Every single referral that they gave us was tailored to our taste and highly talented at their own craft.  We watched as J29 events curated a dream-team of vendors who made our wedding day look like something out of a dream.

As we got closer and closer to the wedding, the value of hiring J29 became more and more evident.  And when the big day finally came, J29 events set themselves apart as the highest value-add to our wedding.  Shauna & Sabrina were absolute machines.  Their ability to coordinate 30 or so individuals from various vendor teams, overseeing & handling 200+ wedding guests and ensuring that we were sticking to our day-of timeline was so impressive.

As stressful as that job may sound, neither one of them wore it on their sleeves; every time they came into the bridal suites, they had smiles on their faces and made sure that there was a stress-free vibe in the room.  What has been even more impressive is that they handled issues without us even knowing about them!  We had only heard of the few tiny hiccups after our wedding.  We left our wedding and in a paid-for car service.  We came back the next day, and the planning team had taken our keys and packed up our car of all personal belongings that we left behind.

In hindsight, it is easy to look at the various things that we chose to do and not to do and decide if those things were worth it or not.  Undoubtedly, hiring J29 Events was the single BEST decision we made in the wedding planning process.  We give them our highest recommendation and have nothing but positive things to say about the team and the amount of work they put in for us.  Anyone who hires them will surely be in good hands.

Thank you SO much to Shauna, Sabrina, and the entire J29 Events team!  You made our wedding the best day of our lives and we are so grateful. We’ve gained friends for life and will forever recommend J29 to any and all couples!

If you're a couple who appreciates modern minimalism, who feels excited by the thought of having an all-star team of wedding vendors, and who would love to be fully supported on your big day, look no further than J29. I've had the pleasure of working alongside Sabrina and when I say the woman knows how to work hard, play hard and problem-solve, she is truly in a league of her own. Weddings with J29 are consistently my favorite each year because the team's personal and professional taste is just so exceptional. For an impressive wedding that blows your guests (and your vendors!) away, reach out to J29 today!

Sabrina at J29 is an absolute DREAM to work with!! It's hard to even put into words how thankful l am that I had her help, expertise, and friendship leading up to, at, and even after our wedding day. While we worked with J29 for day-of coordination, Sabrina went above and beyond leading up to the wedding to make sure everything was perfectly planned and no stone was left unturned. As an anxious and detail-focused bride, it was such a relief to have her step in and take so much of the coordination off my plate in the weeks leading up - and she was super transparent about any added time outside of our original contract for the extra help. Not only is she an absolute master planner and organizer, she deeply cares about the couples she works with. She was consistently checking in with me on the phone or text to ease my mind, see how I'm doing, and answer any random question I had. If you are starting to plan a wedding, I truly can't recommend J29 and Sabrina enough. Our big day went off without a hitch thanks to her and we will be forever grateful to Sabrina and the J29 team!

Sabrina is amazing. She is kind, thoughtful, organized and assertive. Not only will she bring to life your exact wedding vision to life, but she’ll go above and beyond to insure that everything goes exactly to plan. And in the off chance that rainstorm decides to make a surprise guest appearance (like it did for ours), she’ll have a solution within minutes that is somehow better than what you originally had planned. We can’t recommend Sabrina enough and if you’re lucky enough to work with her, just know that you’re in the best possible hands and your wedding is going to be better than you ever imagined.

Sabrina with J29 Events was a dream to work with! We hired J29 for day-of coordination, and she went above and beyond to make our day so special. We had a few hiccups, and she handled them gracefully and professionally. Anything that went beyond our contract, she communicated the estimated time and cost and helped us make the best decision (like finding the only tents available when Oregon decided to downpour last minute). We highly recommend this team to help bring your wedding to life!
