What Clients Say…
Kristen and Tom
Jessica was absolutely AMAZING! From our very first interaction with Jessica, we felt at ease and supported in our wedding planning process. We were planning our Coeur d’ Alene, ID wedding from Northern California which for many might be a bit stressful, but she truly made this process as easy as wedding planning can possibly be. Jessica was incredibly responsive, professional, thorough and helpful from day one. The day of the wedding the family joke is that she had 8 arms because she did EVERYTHING. From coordinating all vendors before and during the wedding, to holding our niece so she wouldn’t cry during the ceremony, to walking our dog, to arranging our beautiful centerpieces and perfectly placing our décor, to helping me bustle my confusing dress, all while sticking to our timeline perfectly. Jessica’s calm and professional demeanor made us all happy and at ease during our most special day.

People always say that planning a wedding is stressful, even without a global pandemic. Thanks to Red Letter Events and their expertise, we were able to enjoy the planning process even with the ups and downs related to COVID-19. They are very knowledgeable, down to earth, hard-working, organized, thoughtful, and creative. They captured by wedding vision by using essentially one picture and made it all come to life. During the wedding day, my husband and I (and our families) got to enjoy the day from start to finish because we knew that the Red Letter team was there to support. They were worth every single penny and then some! If you are hesitant on whether or not to use a planner, just do it. You will never regret having Red Letter Events plan your wedding! Thank you so much!

I cannot explain how much they contributed to the most successful and memorable weekend of mine and my husbands life. We are forever grateful for them!

This wedding vendor review has taken us the longest to write because it’s diffilcult to fully articulate how gratefull we are to have hired Jessica English as our wedding planner. Our wedding planning process was incredibly smooth under Jessica’s lead despite a cancelled venue 99 days before our wedding, a 200+ guest count on a private proerty, and multiple little details I dreamed up. Jessica handled every challenge hurdled at her with grace and confidence. We will never fully comprehend how she pivoted through every soaked linen, massive puddle, and timeline change without us even knowing. She just took care of it, kept us informed, and let us be present to enjoy our day. Her vendor recommendations were all excellent. She went above and beyond t make our day special, and we are forever grateful. We know we couldn’t have pulled this wedding off without her dedication, resilience, quick thinking, and straight up hard work. We love you, Jessica!! Thank you!

I don’t have enough wonderful things to say about Jessica. We hired her as a day of wedding coordinator but she does so much more than ensure that single day runs smoothly. I knew the harshest critics were going to be my mom and husband. they were also charmed and thankful for everything she did. For my mom, Jessica renewed her trust in wedding planners. For my husband, he has repeatedly said to me “wow the wedding coordinator was so great”. He never felt pushed or stressed out by Jessica. Finally for me, Jessica did in fact make sure everything ran smoothly. When something beyond our control occurred she was the one to support me emotionally and keep the show running. Thank you so much Red Letter Events. I recommend you to any brides looking for help saving their sanity and wanting to have the most fun, special wedding.
