Overall a great planner for my budget
(Full disclaimer: This was before Jill’s prices went up.) I originally was looking for a day-of-coordinator for my wedding because my budget at the time was under 1k for one, but Jill gave me a great deal at the time to be a full on wedding planner as she was just starting her business. And I’m glad I went with that option because I didn’t realize how much goes into the type of wedding I wanted. If you’re having a wedding that has over 110 guests and has a lot of moving parts- you need to hire a wedding planner (with an assistant ideally). In hindsight, I think I would have paid a little extra for an assistant as well because there were some details in the reception that were overlooked-through no one’s fault- just a lot was going on that day. Thankfully, none of the guests noticed these missing details (Like the customized dessert bags that were never used, or candy that were still in boxes, the heaters not being put up on time -This was a November wedding, and the wedding cake missing its decorative flowers). But this was a learning experience, and overall, I’m thankful to have had Jill by my side, because I think things would have been much worse if I didn’t have her help. At one point, a second mariachi band showed up announced, but that was taken care of lol. I’m not sure what other wedding planners do, but I was happy that Jill allowed me the freedom to come up with the vision and design for my wedding, while she took care of the logistics and planning- like arranging video call meetups w/ the vendors and venue which helped a lot. It also helped that her schedule was flexible despite some personal family emergencies that happened during the process. I’m sure once her business grows more she will be able to get the extra help needed to plan much bigger, more fantastical weddings! Overall, I would recommend Jill as a wedding planner: She’s very down-to-earth, punctual (thank you for getting to the courthouse on time while I was running late) , professional, compassionate- took well to my notes, and concerns, and jumped to the occasion. Thanks again, Jill!
Lives up to the name Fantastical!
Not only is Jill a lovely person, but she makes events fun and less stressful! My husband and I worked with her as a day-of coordinator for our wedding, and she was a fabulous help. She helped us keep everything on track and even made sure our rehearsal the day before went smoothly. I was incredibly impressed by the timeline she created for us and her flexibility for any last-minute changes we needed made. Professional, detail oriented, and compassionate throughout our planning process and the event itself. Her services are also reasonably priced, which helped us out a lot as newlyweds. Jill is awesome, and we highly recommend her!
The Lebron James of Wedding Planning
I'm not exaggerating when I say there could not have been a more perfect match of a wedding planner for us than Jill. Like many brides, I was in that mid wedding planning panic where I realized I could not do everything on my own and not lose my mind. I had several consultation calls with other planners but none of them meshed as well as I did with Jill on our first call. My now-husband and I are huge video game nerds, and wanted to infuse our wedding with subtle nods to our favorites. Finding someone who specialized in nerdy weddings was a huge deal for us! Jill understood our vision and executed it perfectly. Working with her felt very natural, due in part to her friendliness and mutual understanding of fandom culture. From the early planning stages up until the day of the wedding, having her support was invaluable. Thanks to her, we were able to enjoy our day stress-free and stay fully in the moment! I could go on and on, but if you're a fellow geeky couple looking for someone you don't have to over-explain your hobbies and interests to, look no further than Fantastical Adventures!!
Best Day Ever Thanks to Fantastical Adventures
Throughout the entire process, Jill was fast, responsive, and incredibly accommodating. She was very caring, attentive, and kind throughout the entire planning process. Although there was a time crunch setting up on the day of, Jill made sure everything came together seamlessly. Her attention to detail and focus on us as a couple made our special day a dream come true. We cannot recommend Fantastical Adventures highly enough for any couple looking for an stress-free, personalized wedding planning or day-of coordinator experience. Thank you again!
