Umbrella Events

Where to begin! I LOVE Umbrella Events, and more specifically, Ariel!! She was absolutely the best ever. I interviewed multiple planners, and from the start of our meeting I just knew Ariel would be the best for our needs. She listened to every vision and idea I had, and perfectly executed it. She even handled my indecisiveness extremely well and made changes for me, despite our short timeline. She was readily available and never dropped the ball. I could not have asked for a better planner. And the cherry on top was that all of my vendors got along very well and my photographer (who is a friend from middle school) could not stop raving about how much he loved Ariel. I genuinely wish we could be friends haha. 15/10!!!!

Jennifer was our planner and we could not have picked a better one! We did the 3 month takeover and she was incredible. Soooo detail oriented, kept her cool throughout, executed on our vision so perfectly. I still have no idea if there were any mishaps or issues on the day of!!! Even my guests were complimenting her and how gentle, yet effective her style was. If you’re looking for a responsive, detail oriented, and really kind planner then book umbrella! Worth every penny.

Honestly where do I even begin with how much my partner and I loved Jennifer Schafer and the whole Umbrella Events crew! We had interviewed a few candidates for planning our wedding ahead of time, but as soon as we started up our call with Jennifer it was an instant connection. She is so kind, patient, and positive, and always makes your ideas feel heard while also lending her professional experience to enhance it ten fold. Not to mention all of this was done during the pandemic where we were working with a lot of what-if's and constraints of what we could and could not do. Still, the day turned out amazing, and Jennifer was SEAMLESS in her ability to coordinate and make everything flow perfectly. To be honest I barely saw her during the wedding day except when she needed to be seen and I mean that in the best way possible. It was truly a wedding without hiccups or mishaps and I attribute that to Jennifer and all the work she put into making it special for us. As a queer couple, this is a very LGBT+ friendly company, and I could not recommend them, and Jennifer, enough to make your wedding day the best day you've ever had.

I. Love. Cristie. I get the chance to work with Cristie on so many weddings and events throughout the year and every one of her couples has a similar story that sounds something like this: ..Cristie is amazing..it only took us seconds after meeting with her

Our team had the pleasure of working with Umbrella Events, specifically Ariel and wow! She's an incredible talent to work with. She's not only professional, detail oriented and organized, but also has a pure passion to ensure her clients get exactly what they envisioned and more for their special day. Definitely recommend working with them again!

We worked with Jennifer at Umbrella Events for month-of wedding coordination. I can't say enough good things about our experience working with Jen! Overall, having month-of coordination was absolutely money well-spent. Jen helped us stay organized and on track leading up to the wedding. On the day before the wedding and day of, she completely took over wedding set up and did an AMAZING job! Her coordination on the day of the wedding was seamless -- she was organized and communicated very well, and made the day seem like it was effortless (although I know just how much work she put into it to make it feel that way for us). I wholeheartedly recommend Jen and Umbrella Events for your wedding coordination.

Ariel and Cynthia were a DREAM TEAM! From start to finish, they were bubbly, helpful and complete rockstars. If there was anything that went wrong we were completely unaware, which was exactly what we wanted for our wedding day. They ensured that everything ran smoothly, and were a complete joy to work with. With them on board, we could really relax and enjoy our wedding free of any stress because we knew they had everything handled. Do yourself a favour and book them for your event!!

Jennifer was absolutely incredible to work with. We hired her for month-of coordination, decor planning, and takedown services. She has the perfect personality for wedding planning; outgoing and confident to get the job done, but genuine and down-to-earth to make it feel easy and fun.She navigated challenging logistics and changing circumstances like a pro, always ready with creative ideas and solutions. She advocated for our vision and made sure that our day turned out the way we wanted. And it did!! My husband and I were mindful about all of our wedding costs, but we were SO glad that we chose to invest in her services. Beyond worth it. Thank you again, Jennifer!

We've worked with Jennifer for the better part of a year now, and we couldn't be any happier! We had the most perfect wedding and we could not have done it without her - she had answers for every question, addressed every tiny detail, and she pulled together a truly beautiful event with so much less stress than anything we would ever have been able to do. From calming our nerves whenever we were worried about our design, to constantly going back and forth with vendors, negotiating better costs on our behalf, Jennifer is truly such an amazing person and we are lucky to have found her. Thank you!

One of the best wedding planning team. We had a great experience with Jennifer. She is very professional, super responsive, and greatly helpful. Our wedding was a dream come true, and we don't think it was possible without Jennifer's help. Can't express how lucky we are to have Jennifer as our wedding planner. If you want to have a 5-star wedding experience, and don't want to be stressed out in this tedious process, I would 100% recommend Umbrella Events to you. Happy wedding planning, enjoy every bit of it with your partner as it will be one of the major projects you did in life!
