“She wasn’t just a planner, but a true friend.”
I cannot recommend Jen at Altar Ego Weddings enough! From the start, her experience and knowledge were clear. She has the best contacts in the business and she helped me build an incredible vendor team for my wedding. While I wasn’t someone who dreamed of my wedding since childhood, I did have a vision, and Jen brought it to life while ensuring we were good stewards of our budget. Jen was a pro at handling tough conversations with vendors, providing clear feedback when needed, and reviewing contracts to ensure everything was in our best interest. She kept me organized with payment deadlines, form requests, and every other detail I would have overlooked. The planning process had its stressful moments, but Jen was my biggest supporter and advocate, always reminding me to focus on the bigger picture—marrying my husband. In the end, she wasn’t just a planner but a true friend and accountability partner throughout the entire process. On the day of the wedding, Jen was organized, calm, and collected, which helped immensely when I was feeling scattered and stressed. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better planner!

“She took a huge load off my shoulders.”
From the moment I finished my first phone call with Jen, we knew she was the perfect fit for us. Jen's clear communication, organization, knowledge, and just making you feel at ease during the planning process makes her seriously the best! Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, but Jen's resources and constant reassurance and availability via email made everything so much easier. Thanks to her expertise, our wedding day went off without a hitch. She handled every detail flawlessly, ensuring that we could relax and really enjoy every moment of our wedding. She is also the best bodyguard when you need one on your wedding day ;) In the end, your wedding is the biggest party you'll ever throw, and investing in Jen's services was absolutely worth it. She took a huge load off my shoulders and allowed me and my now husband to truly enjoy the wedding day! Jen is an outstanding planner, and we couldn't be happier with her work and how the day turned out!!

“Beyond anything we could have wished for.”.
Working with Jen was the best decision we made! Even from my first phone call with Jen, I could tell how professional, experienced, and passionate she was about what she does. She was super receptive to our vision for the wedding and made everything go beyond anything we could have ever wished for! Even though we were planning our wedding from out-of-state, Jen made the process so seamless and stress-free. It ended up raining on our wedding day and Jen was able to pivot the entire wedding day less than 24 hours before it began - and you never would have guessed it was plan B because of how intentionally and beautifully everything came together. It was the happiest day of our lives and I know that we have Jen to thank for that!

“She made the entire process run so smoothly.”
It is hard to put into words how important it is to choose the correct wedding planner/coordinator. The minute we got off the phone with Jen, we knew she was our type of person. Jen communicates clearly, is heavily organized/detailed, and honors FUN. Planning a wedding can be stressful, but having the resources she provides and the open line of communication made my entire process run so smoothly. At the end of the day, your wedding is going to be the biggest party you ever throw and it is 100% worth the investment in Jen to help you take some of the load off and ENJOY the process.

HEY! I'M JENNIFER.
(But you can call me Jen.)
I’m known for my excellent communication, keeping you in the loop about the latest bookings, answering all of your questions and creating clear timelines.
Couples choose me as their planner because I give off “I got this” vibes, which is extremely important on one of the most nerve-wracking days (or weeks) of your life. A calm wedding planner keeps you calm – it’s contagious in a good way!

You can also count on me for my honest feedback that’ll steer you clear of nightmare situations and ultimately result in an awesome wedding.
I’ve been married for 22 years to my husband, Justin, and we have two teenage sons. When I’m not carefully curating your wedding, you’ll find me hunched over my office table figuring out an advanced puzzle or at my sewing machine working on my latest quilt.
Some quick facts about me:
As a wedding planner since 2007, I've learned the ins and outs of what makes a great vendor, from wedding photographers, to caterers, to florists, and beyond.
It’s my pleasure to match-make you with the best players in the industry who will make your dream wedding a reality.
