Jodi truly went above and beyond to make my day more special than I could ever imagine! Every email I sent her was responded to in MINUTES! Being that this was a 'destination' wedding, that was very important to me! Not only did she find me the best of the best as far as vendors go in Savannah, she was on top of it making sure they hit every mark necessary which was more than appreciated. I feel very bonded to Jodi and will never thank her enough. She is a special lady who ANYONE would be lucky to have as their wedding planner!! Hugs and kisses Jodi!!

Words cannot express how thankful I am that we found Jodi - she is as good as they come! As a destination bride, Jodi was SUPER helpful in identifying every vendor I used for my wedding day. What's great is she hand picks 4 or 5 for each category (i.e. caterer, venue, flowers, cake, photos, DJ, etc.), gets quotes and even negotiates for you. She keeps tabs of all the vendors and is always super responsive to emails/texts and phone calls. She came with me to my venue visit, tasting and even met me 2 days before the wedding to make sure I was calm. My wedding was the day after Hurricane Hermine and she woke up early Saturday morning to visit our outdoor ceremony site and took videos to assure me that it will be GREAT. She spent the day with the girls making sure we had everything while we got ready, handled transportation logistics with the groom and stayed throughout the entire wedding to make sure all ran smoothly. She created the timeline for me and sent it to all vendors so I did not have to worry about deliveries/arrivals, etc. In addition to the perfect wedding planning and execution, Jodi is a wonderful person - always putting her bride first and is 100% committed and passionate to her craft. Thank you, Jodi, we will miss working with you dearly!

Jodi is the best. My husband and I hired her for the month of coordination. Any time I needed her no matter the time she was there for us to answer all our questions and give suggestions. When my hairstylist had, something come up Jodi went out of her was to find me a fabulous hairstylist. Our family and friends can't stop talking about how our reception was decorated thanks to Jodi. She is truly a friend for life. Jodi went out of her way to meet with all our vendors to make sure everybody was on the same page. Our cake decorator wanted to deliver our cake as our guest was showing up and Jodi didn't give up until the delivered it before the guest started arriving. Jodi goes above and beyond as a wedding coordinator. I love her so much and my day couldn't have been as great without her. Love you Jodi Jayla & Jeffery

If i could rate Jodi at a million I would. Jodi is not only the best wedding planner in Savannah but she is like a mother and best friend! I don't even know where to begin with how much I appreciate everything she did for us before, during and after our wedding day! From the emails, texts, phone calls and week prior nightmares she was always there for us to count on!! My day went so smoothly and she perfected my every idea and more of how I would want my wedding day to be! The way she communicated between myself and my other vendors was outstanding. She is so brilliant and she knows what she is doing! If you are planning a wedding, you NEED to book Jodi! I just can't say enough about how caring and professional she is. She will not let you down. Weddings are HER specialty! SHE IS THE BEST!!!!

One of the most amazing things about this destination wedding, was it was performed from will you marry me, to I do, in three weeks. We are from out of state and knew no one in Savannah to pull off such a feat. After research and a lot of luck, we called Jodi. Jodi called in favors and accommodated us nonstop. Even late at night she was conversing with us, ironing out the details. She could juggle our small wedding even around her more elaborate weddings, and never made us feel second. That says a lot about her character and that she treats each person as important as this big day. Her attention to detail is second to none. When things come at you like a tsunami, as they always do in a wedding, no matter how much preparation, Jodi could take charge and lead us with confidence, and reassurance. With Jodi, we felt like she truly had a stake in the wedding, almost like a family member. She takes the day personal as if it was her own. She understands how important this once in lifetime event is to the families. There is no way that we could have pulled off a wedding in three weeks, and not one nearly this nice in a year of preparations on our own. She is a special person and we will forever be grateful for having hired Jodi to assist us. Thanks Jodi!!!

Jodi was truly amazing! My husband and I hired her for the month of coordinating the wedding. We live in Kansas City and so we were relying on Jodi to be our eyes and ears in Savannah as we reviewed caterers, linen providers, florist, and local wedding photographers to name a few. In addition, my husband and I had a rough month prior to the wedding with serious health issues and troublesome efforts with getting international guest visas for our friends which made us lean on Jodi even more than we had anticipated from the get go. She was outstanding! Never once did we feel that something should have been different or that we didn’t feel that the wedding was our special day. To top it off, Jodi was focused on giving us the best experience at any time regardless of the event. When we had pre-wedding get together with family and friends, Jodi was there making sure my husband and I had no stress and that the event was going perfect (even without being asked to!!). Further, for the wedding event itself, Jodi personally designed several decorations including a fantastic centerpiece for every table which consisted of driftwood, beautiful arrangement of flowers, fabrics, and sea ornaments. As for the wedding event itself, it was truly a fantasy. There was not a single thing wrong or unexpected throughout the entire event. That isn´t to say the event probably had no hiccups but the fact that Jodi showed her strength and made sure not a single issue wasn´t resolved or put on our shoulders, which to me is the ultimate success of a coordinator. We recommend Jodi to anyone looking for a coordinator for ANY event, but especially for a wedding!

Jodi was such a big part in making our dream destination wedding in Savannah come true! We hired her for the month of coordination but she was involved and instantly available via phone/email even during the planning process to ensure that any questions were answered and that we had the best vendors that will deliver on the big day. Jodi has a great bubbly personality and is so easy to work with! She really went out of her way to ensure that our wedding day went off without a hitch. Starting with the wedding prep she would text photos as things are set up to help calm my nerves and ensure that everything was getting done exactly to my vision. She could anticipate needs and deliver: she worked with our photographer to adjust the timeline so that we would be able to have the most amount of time for pictures, she brought the bridesmaids and the groomsmen snacks when we were getting ready, and she always made sure to give me water and remind me to stay hydrated during the big day. Planning the wedding from out of town and having not worked with any of the local vendors I anticipated at least some hiccups on the big day but Jodi was key in making the dream happen! She really went above an beyond to make sure that I relaxed and enjoyed Savannah while she did her magic to make my wedding day really smooth and effortless! She is a true professional- organized, dedicated to your dream, fun to work with, and a must have for your wedding!!
