Jenn is everything and more! From the first time I spoke to Jenn, you could tell she was one of the kindest, most down to earth and amazing people. She has such a comforting personality that makes her so wonderful to work with, especially during a process that can get stressful at times. Within just a few times speaking she already completely knew my style and was sending me such innovative and creative ideas that fit so well with what I wanted. She put together and connected me with the absolute best vendors for my team. From day one she was always there for everything. She helped with everything from contracts, to emotional days, to designing and executing my wedding. I’m so thankful for her and I genuinely could not have ever done this without her. Every time I felt stressed, she would immediately calm down all my anxieties. I felt so secure with everything knowing she was there to help. If you need a wedding planner, there is seriously no one better. Jenn goes above and beyond, every vendor we worked with applauded her for how organized she was and amazing to work with!! My wedding day was truly the best day of my life and I give all my thanks to Jenn. She made my dreams, and more, become a reality!!

Hiring Jen was the first and best choice that we made when we were planning our wedding. With her support we were able to plan a completely unique and personalized wedding at the Seattle Aquarium. We had a lot of family members to manage, plenty of unusual requests and Jen handled all of our needs with aplomb and panache. I highly recommend working with her!

Jenn was the BEST! From the first call, she immediately saw the vision we had for our big day. She understood where we wanted to go big and where we wanted to save $. She was so resourceful and knows so many connections in the biz and it helped us get started when we had no idea what to do. I am a self-described control-freak but I had no doubt that I could relinquish my urges to let Jenn drive the vision. Any question or concern I had leading up to the big day, she was able to quickly put at ease. Day-of, it was just a total dream and she more than delivered. All of our guests raved about the aesthetics and perfect flow of our wedding day. Look no further if you're trying to find a coordinator, she is IT!

Jennifer did so much work for our wedding, and for so little wage we felt like we were stealing from her. She is extremely competent and detail oriented with tons of experience. Thanks to her, the ordinarily stressful experience of wedding planning turned into a dream for my wife and I. With her coordination our wedding went off without a hitch, when it would have otherwise likely been a disaster.

Working with Jennifer was such a dream. We were super fortunate to have found her with such late notice, as we went from pausing our wedding planning due to Covid to moving forward with it full swing just months prior to our date. She knew all of the answers to questions we didn’t even know to ask, and helped curate a perfect timeline for our wedding day. She coordinated with all of our vendors and helped those final weeks to be as stress free on our end as possible. She was fantastic with communication! On the day of, we kept getting comments from our guests about how great of a job she was doing. She helped keep my mom calm and relaxed, and helped to create a look for our wedding that I could have only dreamed of. I would absolutely recommend working with Jennifer for your WA wedding!

Jen oh Jen -- the absolute BEST!! I found Jen via Instagram, as she had done another wedding at my venue last summer and was tagged in photos. I still remember our first phone call - she was so calming, professional, and I knew that she understood what we needed for the venue (it has some unique quirks). We instantly bonded and I knew she was our gal. We initially hired her for florals only, but ended up adding on her planning/coordination services for the month of which was the best decision we could have ever made. One of the takeaways from our first conversation that I loved about Jen that was different, especially from other florists, was that she took the time to understand what we had in mind and then almost worked backwards with our budget -- rather than asking what we want and then quoting us an arbitrary number. It was the most comprehensive and genuine conversation I'd had with any florist, which is one of the many reasons I knew she'd be a great hire. Our flowers and design turned out PERFECT and I feel like I gave minimal direction - she just knew. When we added on planning services, she was quick to jump on the details and engage our vendors, ensuring our timeline was started and circulated among vendors well in advance. Jen takes ample time to get to know her couples, their vision and style. She takes the time to meet IRL - even driving a couple hours to come see us the week before the wedding to go over final details - this really helped get my fiance excited and fully dialed into what was happening and when. She helped us execute the most perfect day and every detail was not only accounted for but managed to perfection. While floral, design and planning are her strong suits, her overall demeanor and heart of gold is what everyone needs in a planner/florist/wedding guru. Her empathy in this business is truly unmatched - her passion is so evident in her work and she is willing to go above and beyond to provide for her clients. We continue to receive so many compliments on our wedding and all credit should go to Jen. She executed the most beautiful, well-managed event I've ever been a part of. I am grateful we found her and will hold her close as a friend moving forward. We would recommend her 10/10 and look forward to watching her work continue to thrive from the sidelines. If you're considering hiring a planner, look no further - not only is she extremely talented but her heart and soul are poured into everything she touches!

Jen is an absolute GEM - a tenured veteran in the wedding event business industry, a wealth of knowledge and genuine recommendations, and also someone I can call a friend! From our very first call, I knew Jen & Hoffwell would be the best fit for us from a personality perspective and that we would be in AMAZING hands planning our wedding with a supportive, kind and thoughtful team. Coming from a bride who initially wanted to handle all of the wedding plans/logistics personally and did not think it was necessary to have a coordinator, I couldn't have been more wrong. Literally the thing I was most wrong about in the entire process. I cannot imagine not having Jen in the lead up to the big day and couldn't recommend her more. She is SO generous with her time, has the ability to form a genuine connection with her couples, and really considers who YOU are and what YOU want the day to be when providing advice and helping you map out every detail of the day. She's a true sounding board, understood our vision, and it was because of her and her teams execution and help with planning that we could have somehow had a better day than we could have ever dreamed of. Hoffwell kept us calm, relaxed and ready to celebrate! We are so grateful we found Hoffwell!!

First of all, my husband and I were one of many who had to postpone our wedding due to COVID. As we got closer to our new wedding date, we realized we needed help with coordinating in the weeks leading up to it and for the day of. We found Jennifer on The Knot and after talking on the phone, knew we had to hire her. It was honestly the best decision we could have made for our wedding! Not only did Jennifer make herself available to us any time we needed her leading up to our wedding, but she completely listened to our vision and executed it so perfectly on the day. I had zero stress on the day of, and I can honestly attribute that to Jennifer's attention to detail and calm/professional demeanor. I am someone who has a hard time giving up control, but Jennifer made it so easy and I completely trusted her. Even our venue staff, family and friends were commenting on how awesome she was! If you are looking for someone who will listen to you, ease your concerns and make sure your event runs smoothly (while also being extremely friendly and easy to talk to), Jennifer if your person! I would 100% recommend her to anyone who needs an event planner. Thank you so much, Jennifer!!

I’m so glad I worked with Jennifer to plan my wedding. Her guidance and expertise made the entire wedding planning process much easier for me to handle. She created a cohesive design and when I was overwhelmed with making decisions, I trusted her to make the choices for me. Not only was she in tune with what I wanted and my vision, she had a grasp on what our guests would find most enjoyable as well which was very important insight to us. Thank you Jennifer for going above and beyond for us! Our big day wouldn’t have been as memorable without you!

Jennifer was amazing! We feel so lucky that we found her.
Communication – We tried to find vendors with mediocre success. We tried to save money in some places and spent a little more on others, but we honestly weren’t confident with prices and the contracts didn’t seem right. We found Jennifer after we had started; she was able to explain to us where we could save money and where we should be spending a little more. She walked us through the entire process, talking about what we would notice, what our guests would notice, and how we would best remember the day in the future. I think most importantly was that Jennifer explained what vendors spent time and materials on, and what they would upcharge that we could negotiate. This was a huge help in saving us on our initial budget! From the day we signed with her, we’ve always had easy access to talk to her!
Finding Vendors – She helped us find different vendors who fit within our budget and style, all the holding our hands through negotiations. Best yet, she handled all the negative feedback or rejections for us! We were always honest with how we felt, and she communicated that to the vendors; the people she found for our wedding fit our personalities perfectly!
Negotiating Contracts – Once we figured out our budgeting, Jennifer organized and handled our vendor conversations for us. We would meet routinely to go over new developments and suggestions. When it came time for contracts, she walked us through normal and unusual sections, and negotiating the vendors down where there was room. Again, she also did a great job explaining why certain things couldn’t be negotiated down so we had a lot more confidence when signing.
Cultural Differences – Our Indian families are very traditional and that can be difficult to know what to say and when. Jennifer breezed through handling family and friends, adjusting to the situation, and communicating details that kept our families happy. Everyone loved her.
Overall – Planning a wedding during COVID was a challenge, but Jennifer kept us hopeful and confident! She’s so easy work with, fun to talk to, and is great at what she does.
Loved our wedding and loved Jennifer!

Working with Jennifer was an absolute pleasure! She made every bit of planning my wedding enjoyable and memorable. From organizing the ceremony to the littlest details on the tables at the reception. Jennifer worked with me personally to make my visions a reality. She kept in communication with me constantly throughout the planning processes and should anything have come up she was quick to address my needs. Always easy to get in contact with and she dealt directly with all the vendors. Especially on the day of our wedding, I didn’t have one thing to worry about because I knew she had it under control from the florist and ensuring arrangements were all in place to our DJ and photographer. The day could not have gone any smoother. And if there was any hiccups along the way that day, I had no idea because she made sure to make the day as flawless as possible. In the end, our wedding day was everything we dreamed of and more! Oh and how could I forget our beer burro!! Jennifer always had ways to make something great into grand! We wanted our ceremony to be something special, not just for us but for everyone who took the time to come celebrate us and she suggested spicing up our ceremony with a beer donkey who greeted guests as they walked up to our outdoor ceremony. To this day people continuously tell us how unforgettable our entire wedding was; especially the donkey walking about giving out beers 🤣 Jennifer is truly a master of what she does!

Jenn was absolutely incredible! She was professional, energetic, and so organised. She was extremely thorough and helpful from the beginning of the planning process through to the very end. She was full of great ideas, especially with design, and always gave great advice. Our wedding turned out better than we could have imagined. I am forever grateful to Jenn. I can’t say enough positive things about her.
Cynthia Kotfila
AMAZING! Jennifer is incredible and so creative! She’s passionate about making your event perfect, and is such fun to work with as well. I love it when a “vendor” becomes family. Thank you, thank you, thank you Jenn!!! You made a dream come true.
Frank Tupas
Thoroughly enjoyed working with Jennifer of Hoffwell Events! She has always shown absolute professionalism and genuinely cared about our event. If you work with her (and I highly recommend that you do), you'll notice her outstanding communication skills, keen eye for detail, and creativity for the design. Said another way, she gets the job done! If there are any issues you and your guests would never know due to her ability to think and act quickly and effectively. Again I highly recommend Hoffwell Events for all your event production needs!
Tara Wooden
Jen is simply amazing! She designed our wedding back in 2015 and did a fantastic job! Highly recommend!
Stefanie Lerner
Style, creativity, art, spunk and professional. That's what you get when you have Jennifer Hoffman at Hoffwell design ANYTHING for you. From a space to an event. This woman has class, an AMAZING eye, respect for budget and gives far more than is expected. If there were 6 stars, that's what I would offer.

As the mother of the groom, you try to stay out of the way. I watched for 3 days as Jennifer handled every beautiful wedding detail from the arrival of the hotel guests, the dinners, and the bridal party preparations. However, on tne day of the ceremonye there was an equipment fail at the dry cleaners and my dress needed pressing, Jennifer swooped up my dress like a fairy godmother, found a way to have it pressed, mended a seam by hand and delivered my dress to me like it was no big deal. She will take care of you like a friend, then continue to be a friend for years to come.
Not sure where Jennifer gets all of her ideas, but she treats all of the events as if it was her own , she will exceeds your expectations by 200% ,you will love the outcome, Guaranteed!!
