Jenn’s Weddings & Events

This review is a year overdue. We worked with Dawn Predium a year ago for our wedding. She helped us through the whole process of our planning. She was wonderful to work with. Flexible to work around our sometimes strange schedules. Very responsive to e-​mails. The vendors were used for our photography, catering, and cake were all recommendations from her and were all fabulous.
On the day of our wedding, I had nothing to worry about since Dawn had everything covered. There were a few small hiccups but I only found out about them once a more than adequate solution had already been figured out (and sometimes even better than the original plan). After having been part of other friends weddings, I was pleasantly surprised by how little stress I felt on the day of my wedding.
My father was a little skeptical when I told him I was hiring a wedding planner for the wedding but by the end of the night he was singing her praises also.

As a guy who did not initially want a big wedding because if all the stress and details required in putting something like that together. I can honestly say our wedding day ended up way better than I could have imagined and one of the best days my wife and I have ever had.
This is in no small part due to the professionalism and experience of Jenn and her totally awesome associate, Dawn Predium.
Planning the wedding ourselves was truly a task for my wife and I who got engaged a year prior. We knew nothing about throwing a party what less a wedding and as the day loomed closer, our stress level rose through the roof.
We found out about Jenn on craigslist and after the initial phone calls and emails we felt very comfortable with them and ended up meeting a week prior to our wedding for her to be our «Day of Wedding Coordinator». They were both very nice and definitely knew the in’s and outs of throwing a wedding. My fiancé and I felt such a huge sigh of relief after that one meeting we kicked ourselves for not finding a planner sooner.
Jenn assigned Dawn Predium who was at the meeting with her to help us since Jenn would be busy with another event if I recall correctly. We did not in any way feel like we were missing out by having Dawn instead of Jenn helping us.
Dawn had a list of things she needed from us and once she got that we pretty much left everything to her. Behind the scenes she worked with our vendors. The church, the reception hall, limo driver, photographer, bakery, florist, videographer and coordinated everything with them to where my fiancé and I didn’t have to think about them which was helpful since family started trickling in from out of town.
The day of the wedding went without a hitch. Dawn’s coordination with the vendors was amazing which was evident from the time our photographers arrived at the hotel for the «getting ready» photos and when our wedding entourage walked into the reception hall for the first time with everything in place and the dj on cue
During the reception my wife and I were packing a lot of things in a seemingly short amount of time and Dawn was there unobtrusively making sure everything went smoothly. Dawn went beyond the call of duty, always making sure my fiancé and I were comfortable, had everything we needed and seamlessy covering for the short falls of our hard partying groomsmen and bridesmaids.
By the end of the night, Dawn had already taken care of all the vendors. She made sure our gifts, money box etc were handled safely by the right people. And pretty much all we had to do was leave the hall behind us and look forward to our new married life together.
If I could do this whole wedding experience over again I would hired a wedding planner from the very beginning. Whatever they charge is almost negligible for the amount of stress you’ll save yourselves and the flawless execution of a big event. I will always recommend Jenn and Dawn.
Dawn, Jenn. this review was long overdue and I still don’t feel like I completely expressed our wonderful experience and appreciation for you two. You did an outstanding job and we wish you a lot of success and the best of luck because you truly deserve it.

I hired Jenn as a «Day of Coordinator» for my August 2008 wedding on Treasure Island. It was such a relief to have a professional onboard — even my fiancé was relieved after we first met up with her a few days before the rehearsal dinner.
She asked all the right questions and was very organized. She was very sweet, easy going and down to earth. I originally found her on Craigslist and got a great deal because she was just starting out her business. I am sure her prices have gone up but she would still be a great deal at twice the price. There were definitely a couple of unforseen chaotic situations that came up on the wedding day (nobody’s fault, just things happen!) that she handled with calm and grace and in the end, everything ended up running smoothly. Highly recommend her as a day of coordinator.
Consider it an investment in your sanity on the day of your wedding — Jenn was a life-​saver!

My wife and I hired Jenn almost a year ago to coordinate our wedding and we could not have been happier with our day. Jenn allowed us to take a step back and enjoy everything happening around us instead of dealing with all of our vendors. We couldn’t have done it without her!

My husband and I used Jen as our wedding planner 2 years ago. I’ve got to say she was a lifesaver. We were both in Los Angeles, but were planning a wedding in the bay area. So we definitely needed help coordinating everything a scheduling all the vendors, especially to schedule the meeting of the vendors for the weekends that we would be in town. Jen helped coordinate vendors for tasting so that we could take care of everything over a weekend. She was super helpful in setting up vendors which I had provided (our location had a recommended vendor listing and required the caterer to be on the «approved» list), along with providing some references for dj/​live music and cake tasting.
In the end Jen definitely helped make things go smoothly, she handled all the logistical details including have to transport the cake from Los Gatos to Belmont (Ralston Hall)!! That was an amazing feat. She and caterer had to assemble the cake on site at the mansion. And overall it was beautiful and absolutely perfect.
I’ve got say, Jen was an amazing help with my wedding and for her rates you are getting an incredible deal and a lot less worries on your big day.
I wish her the best of luck!
