Jennifer Tolento Events, LLC - Middletown Township, New Jersey

Danny and Amy Girgis

Thanks to Jen and the Tolento Events team, our wedding day was a stress-free, incredible, dream come true. It was everything we ever wanted and more. If you are looking around for a planner—look no further!. Hire Jen, full-time because your event will stand out like you could have never imagined.
Jen makes planning a big event easy and fun. We booked Jen Tolento Events about a year before our wedding. When we hired her, our anxiety and overwhelmed feelings were immediately put to ease. She gave us expert advice, guidance, and support throughout the entire planning process. She was the creative mastermind behind almost every over the top feature of our memorable wedding.
Jen made our wedding wish list a reality (suspended cake, amazing florist display, beautiful invitations, electronic violinist, bagpipers and a belly dancer to name a few). She introduced us to and coordinated with reputable vendors and event performers. She always made herself accessible to us. Jen is patient, graceful, talented, and vastly knowledgeable about the wedding industry. She was an absolute pleasure to work with.
During the planning phase, we followed Jen’s lead and listened to her as she guided us along the way. She was more than a planner, she was family and truly cared about our day as if it was her own.
On our wedding day, Jen showed up with a star studded team. Her team was totally vested and all business when it was showtime. They worked hard making sure everything was just right. We smiled the entire day and never once felt stressed because we knew Jen had everything handled.
There were some unforeseen challenges on the wedding day which were completely out of our hands. These challenges could have really wreaked havoc on our day, but Jen came through and shined under pressure. One example is how the start of the church ceremony was delayed over a 1.5 hour and cut the set up time for the florist. Once given the clearance to set up, Jen and the girls went full speed ahead. The ceremony was set up in lightning speed and also assured that all the guests were cared for during the delay. Jen personally handled the domino effect delay of events for the rest of the day. The cocktail hour, musicians, and entertainers were all seamlessly re-scheduled and it honestly didn’t feel any different from the original plans. Everyone raved on how this wedding was so well orchestrated and presented like a Broadway show. The party went way past midnight and lasted a lifetime in everyone’s memories.
We took a bit of time to write this review because we wanted it to thoughtfully reflect our experience working with Jen Tolento events. We absolutely love Jen and cannot imagine our wedding day without her. We hope to work with her again in the future… (Baby shower! Surprise Jen! : ), It’s a BOY!).

Say yes to this wedding planner!

Jennifer is incredible! From the moment my husband and I first spoke with Jennifer, we knew she was the one to help us plan our very special day! Jennifer listened to our wishes and vision and took the time to get to know us individually and as a couple. Jennifer tirelessly worked to help us find the perfect venue and used her skills and ability to connect with others to help us match with the right vendors. From start to finish- Jennifer made the wedding planning experience an extremely pleasant one. I am amazed at her ability to handle any and all situations. I will also note that planning a wedding while working a demanding career is no easy feat, yet Jennifer somehow managed to consistently work with our schedules and help keep us in line at all times (which is something that was so important to us). Jennifer’s team is also unmatched. You can always tell a team is happy when working with a good leader- which is true for Jennifer’s team and reflects heavily on the day! Jennifer and team, we cannot thank you enough for all you have done and for truly making our experience and wedding more than we could have ever imagined! Without a doubt, we highly recommend Jennifer to all couples, whether you don’t know where to begin, how to get started, managing a career and planning a wedding, or just need support throughout the process- Jennifer and her team are the ones for you!

We went to some venues & were not really satisfied with how you have the exact same wedding as every person married at their venue. Instead we decided to have an outdoor estate wedding. We met with a few planners and then when it came to Jennifer, we knew she was the one. She's kind, genuine, easy to work with and most importantly, knows how to handle the tough times. Jennifer works with incredible vendors and every vendor we decided upon was actually one of the options recommended by her. We had backup plans for anything that could go wrong when hosting an outdoor wedding on our property. And gave us the confidence that no matter what, it was going to be perfect. OUR WEDDING WAS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT. I cannot recommend Jennifer Tolento Events enough.

Hiring Jenn was one of the smartest decisions I made when wedding planning. I hired Jenn after already booking vendors, so I was looking for someone to help with the back end of planning and day-of coordination. Jenn was always quick to respond to emails, no matter how trivial of a question I had. She is insanely organized and did a fantastic job of communicating with all the vendors leading up the wedding. On the day of, Jenn and her assistants were so helpful in keeping everything on track. I initially considered not hiring a coordinator because our venue came with one and I’m a generally organized person. But I didn’t realize how important it was to have help on the wedding day *before* you get to the venue! Bottom line, Jenn made wedding planning WAY less stressful and for that, I think she was invaluable.

Choosing to work with a planer was a great idea, choosing to work with Jennifer was an even better one! She swooped in and took so much stress off me during the planning process and even more so on the day-of.
From start to finish Jennifer was there to offer guidance, make suggestions, answer any questions I had (and trust me I had a bunch). She made sure to communicate with all of my vendors as well as routinely communicate with me through our scheduled check-in meetings, which helped me stay on track. She helped me plan, and execute, the wedding of my dreams.
I am so grateful for her and her expertise. I will recommend to everyone. Thank you SO much Jennifer, you are the best of the best.

We booked Jennifer after our original venue cancelled our wedding due to COVID. Jennifer came in and was a total lifesaver - she found us an even better location! An absolute professional and down to earth; Jennifer knows her stuff and will make sure your vision comes to life. Our wedding was everything we dreamed of and more - absolutely magical! Thank so much Jennifer, you and your assistants (Kylie & Jess) were all incredible.

Jennifer Tolento and team stepped in last minute and completely saved us when our original wedding coordinator canceled due to COVID and our wedding plans/location completely changing. We couldn't imagine not having them at our wedding and we can't thank them enough for helping make it such a success! Everything went way better than we could have expected and they helped in so many little but important ways we never would've thought of. We had so much fun and have gotten such great feedback from all our guests!

I was in the market for a day of coordinator that would help me the few months leading up to the big day and the day of. I found Jennifer Tolento Events and was super impressed with her experience with both full and partial wedding coordination. I ended up working with Jess three months prior to my wedding and she was so helpful in helping me finalize all the details and confirm them with our vendors. The day of, Jess and her assistant Melissa were SO helpful. I actually don't think my wedding day would have gone half as smooth without them. Both my family and my husband's family were talking about how indespensable both of them were. I HIGHLY recommend using Jennifer Tolento Events, clearly Jennifer and everyone she employs are extremely professional and do a fantastic job!
