Reviews of A Divine Affair - Niagara Wedding & Event Planners (Event Planner)

Amanda Sutton

When we had to reschedule our wedding and our previous officiant was no longer available, we reached out to Jennie. Jennie was kind, helpful and organized from the beginning. She was patient with our disorganized group at our rehearsal. She got to know us and included a personal message to us at our ceremony - it was a lovely and funny moment that we appreciated. Jennie is stylish, kind, fun, and organized! Though I didn't use her as a wedding planner, I could see how she would be fabulous! I would recommend her as an officiant.

We are so lucky to be able to work with Jennie on a regular basis, my team is honoured to be part of a wedding run by Jennie because we know that she is going to take care of every detail! Jennie is a lovely person inside and out and wears her heart on her sleeve and it has been such an honour to watch her grow both personally and professionally and just get better and better year after year! You are in amazing hands with Jennie on board, she works collaboratively as a team with all your vendors in a professional manner and will do everything to ensure the best day possible!

I have worked with Jennie several times over my wedding photography career and she truly is one of the best in the business. She is professional , manages wedding days well and always have a smile. If you are a planning a wedding I highly recommend reaching out to Jennie!

We worked with Jennie from a Divine Affair for our recent wedding, and hiring her was one of the best planning decisions we made! Jennie was extremely organized, efficient responsive and helpful for every single aspect of the day and leading up to the day. We ended up having her very last minute to also step in as our officiant and she worked so quickly to prepare a beautiful ceremony. Jennie took all the stress away during the wedding day so we could focus on enjoying our selves and managed all the details, timelines and vendors and kept us all on time. I would 100% recommend working with A Divine Affair for your event!

Going with Jennie as our day-of-coordinator was the only horrible decision I made for my wedding day. If it wasn’t for my family who stepped in and took over on most of the coordination of the day, things would have been a disaster. She didn’t have control over what was happening or when - in fact my sister had to rework the itinerary she created because it was so amateur. On the day of, when I asked her if the DJ had arrived, she shrugged and said ‘how am I supposed to know’ - I had to ask that she call him!? he was 1.5 hours behind!!! I ran an hour late on hair and makeup because she didn’t keep anyone on any timelines. She didn’t seem to think that was her problem. Because of that we missed pictures with our guests and had only 30 mins to shoot pictures with my husband after our ceremony. She was MIA as a Coordinator for most of our day, doing mostly the labour work for set up/tear down (we had an outdoor wedding, with 2 sites for the day - as the coordinator she should have been able to anticipate the time required and hired help so that she could actually coordinate, not just do labour). She left our wedding without having even said goodbye and later we realized we hadn’t even gotten our cake cut and served for guests! The worst part is that the list goes on! It took me 7months to write this review, hoping that I get some perspective with time - and I have - Jennie should definitely not be a wedding coordinator, she completely missed the mark on what would have made her valuable on our wedding day. No follow up, no request for feedback. Still dealing with disappointment that came from her lack of competence and from her leaning entirely on me and my family to pick up for her shortcomings. I would never, ever, recommend Jennie to any bride.

I loved working with Jennie at A Divine Affair. Not only did she plan my original wedding flawlessly. When it came time to have to cancel my wedding due to the pandemic, she was there helping me through all of it. She worked to help me keep my date, and plan a smaller elopement that was amazing! Jennie was a pleasure to work with and I would definitely recommend her!

I have worked with Jennie for years as an Officiant. I love the way she takes charge and ensures that the wedding comes off with perfection. Nothing phases her. Jennie, is organized and puts loads of planning and thought into her projects. I highly recommend using a divine affair for your wedding planner.❤

I knew that my wedding was going to be quite complex, because it was very much a DIY type of event at Balls Falls. After meeting with a couple local planners I am SO pleased with my decision to choose A Divine Affair to help me put all of the pieces together. Jennie was so pleasant, organised, creative and professional. I really felt that she went above and beyond with her services. She had multiple recommendations for us for every aspect of our wedding that we needed to pull together ourselves (big stuff - down to small details)...(flowers, decor, catering, linens, photography, transportation, entertainment, venues, hair and makeup, favours etc, etc...). We would have been completely lost without her. Jennie was very involved and made sure that we were meeting our timelines for all of our bookings to ensure that we didn't miss anything. She even accompanied us to MANY of our meetings with vendors to ensure we were asking the right questions and getting all of the details. Having Jennie there to advocate for us and pretty much do the legwork for us took off the pressure and stress. I am so grateful that we had someone with such expertise and really took our vision for our special day and made it come together painlessly. She also attended our rehearsal to make sure we all knew what we were doing! On our wedding day Jennie was at our venues bright and early to ensure that everything was set up correctly and in a timely manner. She helped arrange all of the transportation for the wedding party (coming from different locations). She took care of directing all of our vendors and was in close contact with our musicians, MC, DJ and the caterer all night to ensure that things ran smoothly and flawlessly. She came prepared and even helped us out with a couple wardrobe malfunctions - truly saved the day! She took care of our birdcage with all of the cards to ensure they were kept in a safe place and also kept track of our envelopes to ensure all of our vendors were paid before they left so that my husband and I didn't have to take time away from our friends and family to deal with the business side of the day. I honestly can't recommend Jennie and her services enough. We really put all of our trust in her to make sure that our day was nothing short of amazing and she delivered exactly that. She was patient with us and walked us through every step while making sure that we were happy and comfortable with every decision. We all had such a great experience with her. I hope that I don't get married again - but if I do, she will be my first phone call!!

I realized that I never left a review for Jennie, as she was our month of coordinator for our wedding in September 2018, so I am a little late. Once my mother saw all the DIY items I had planned she insisted we hire a day of coordinator (which is really a month of). After an exhaustive look we came across Jennie! My mother and I were very impressed and really appreciated the calm Jennie brought to the discussion. Although Jennie joked that I was well organized, the day would not have gone as smoothly without her! She took charge of all the details so the wedding party, parents and us could enjoy the entire day! In the end although we did not plan on a coordinator we are SO HAPPY we found Jennie to help make our vision come true!

Jennie is an amazing, thoughtful, detail oriented person and planner who cares so incredibly much about her clients and those she helps. She makes life easier for whomever hires her and knows her skills, strengths and job extremely well. If you are planning an event or wedding, I would highly recommend reaching out to Jennie to help you through the process. As a fellow wedding vendor, it's always an absolute pleasure working with her!

As a corporate event planner myself, I knew the value of hiring a wedding planner. I decided to hire Jennie for partial planning since I felt comfortable enough with the basic pre-wedding planning. That was helpful since I live in Toronto and am not familiar with Niagara vendors. Jennie has a vendor list of people she works with, knows and trusts and everyone we decided on from that list was fantastic. She facilitated the initial meeting with the vendors and we took it from there. Several weeks before the wedding we met with Jennie to go over all the details. It was thorough and I felt satisfied knowing things would go smoothly the day-of, and they did. The day of the wedding I referred everything over to Jennie, and any questions I had or small requests she handled. I felt completely taken care of any never worried once about how things would go. Everything went smoothly and we had a fantastic day. If you are on the fence about hiring a wedding planning I would say it's money well-worth spending. You can trust Jennie to help make your day smooth, and much less stressful than if you had to run it all yourself!

Jennie was an invaluable asset to executing the wedding of our dreams. She was a resource & valued opinion throughout the planning process, which was very helpful since we live 6+ hours from Niagara. Her familiarity with the town & relationships with the vendors were a great bonus too. When obstacles came up, Jennie brought solutions & ways to work around them. Overall, I would definitely recommend her services to any couple hoping to enjoy their special day & not have a care in the world other than their love for each other. She seriously executed on our wedding day, and I will be forever grateful for how happy and carefree I was with Jennie in charge. Don't wait, book her today!!

I cannot thank Jennie enough for everything! From the day we met Jennie, we knew she was the perfect fit for us. We got to know Jennie well since our wedding was postponed multiple times. She kept us organized, on time and made sure that our vision came through. When our officiant was no longer available for our new date, Jennie stepped in and was absolutely perfect. She kept both of us calm that day - without her, the day would not have been the same. Cannot thank her enough and highly recommend her!

At first I didn't want to get a wedding planner, and didn't think we needed one, but somehow my wife talked me into it. One of the best decisions I ever made. My wife and I knew from the beginning that we would want a more casual wedding, still classy and everything, but where your friends feel comfortable and can have fun. Seeing some of Jennie's other work, my concern was that she only planned super fancy extravagant weddings with unlimited budgets. When we met and discussed our options though, she had a lot of innovative ways of really making it a beautiful wedding even on my more modest budget. She was super flexible on everything, but also made sure to let us know what her experience has shown to work well. She thought of things we definitely never would have, and these details are what we remember now, a few months later. Most importantly, on the actual day of the wedding, everything (the band, food, treats table, photographer, my wife's makeup and hair, the beautiful decorations) was exactly in place and on-time without us even having to think about it. We were free to just relax and have fun with our friends and family, which made it really special instead of a stressful chore like I was dreading. She is clearly a very organized person. Can't recommend Jennie enough, and I strongly suggest you book a meeting if you're considering a wedding planner.

Jennie planned our June 2017 wedding. She became our friend. She connected us to great vendors and provided excellent advice about all the details. Jennie was always available to answer our many questions . We highly recommend her. We miss you Jennie!!!

Mariana Gonzalez

We had Jennie as our month-of/day-of coordinator, and we couldn't have asked for someone better to help make this day so amazing! From the moment I met her I knew she was the perfect match for us, and perfect for the job! She took care of everything on the day of our wedding and I felt extremely at ease the whole day knowing she was there and had it all covered. Our day was PERFECT and we got to enjoy every last bit of it! I would 100% recommend her to anyone getting married!

Mia Zuo

Jennie, what an amazing wedding coordinator! Could not have completed my dream wedding without her help!!

Katrina Connolly

Where to begin! Jennie is simply incredible at what she does. Deciding on a wedding co-ordinator was one of the most important and daunting decisions of this entire process and I never thought I would find someone like her. From the moment we met I knew she was exactly who and what I needed - detailed, organized, attentive and punctual. I was at ease all day knowing Jennie had everything under control. Thank you Jennie from the bottom of our hearts for every single little thing. We appreciate it more than you know!

Angela Martin

We work with Jennie at weddings often, and she is always punctual, professional and goes above and beyond for her couples. She works closely with the vendors behind the scenes to set expectations and always keeps her clients' best wishes at the forefront. We are always happy to recommend her to couples looking for a planner!

My sister got married this passed summer and she had a very specific vision for her outdoor wedding at Kurtz Orchard. She spent so much time interviewing many different wedding planners and unfortunately was over sold by Jennie. Some have the skillset and some don't. Jennie should not be in the Wedding business, especially not for complex weddings with many moving parts. This was a wedding that required a very organized planner to oversee , take charge and execute. All details were missed, many items that my sister paid for and had available at the venue were not implemented as agreed upon. Jennie had no control over schedule, vendors, or even the bridal party. She was in the background doing Labour no front end management. Its a shame we trusted such an expensive wedding in her hands. The guests later commented that they had no idea there was a planner. As her sister I was the one that took over the role of planner after I asked her to get the bridal party lined up for the ceremony and she told me "its not my job to know who is in the bridal party". I took over the coordination with DJ, the speeches, the organization of the evening and missed my dinner because of it. I should also mention that due to Jennie's absence at all times when it counted I had to step in and don't have one wedding photo with my family. Jennie really brought lots of stress and tears to the close family seeing that she is not in charge and although we were proactive to hire someone to overtake this role we were still left alone to coordinate and control the day and night. I don't recommend using Jennie for weddings.

Kayla Harrop

Jennie is the best!!! I would highly recommend her to anyone! Our ceremony was absolutely perfect thanks to her!

Tania Charlebois

Jennie is so wonderful! My husband and I are so happy that we hired her help for our wedding day. From our very first meeting, I knew she will have every detail taken care of. She was very organized and made sure things ran smoothly. If anyone is looking for a coordinator that will guide you through the planning process and handle your day with the highest professionalism and finesse, I promise you will not go wrong with Jennie. Thank you for helping us to make our special day so memorable and without any stress! Chris and Tania xoxo

Jennie was an absolute pleasure and an integral part of our wedding whose shoes could not have been filled by anyone else. We were travelling from British Columbia to have a destination wedding in Niagara Falls and knew we would need the help of someone with local knowledge to help make our dream day come true. From our first Skype session with Jennie we knew instantly that we could trust her with being our wedding planner. As we were not familiar with all the available venues and amenities, we started out with a half-baked vision of what we had in mind for our big day. Jennie quickly rounded up a list of suggestions after getting a feel for what our tastes were and tailored absolutely everything to what we wanted. She worked within our budget and was realistic with what certain things would cost which really helped us differentiate between our “must haves” and our “would be nice to haves”. Jennie was an invaluable resource for our entire planning period and kept us right on track with which tasks we needed to do when and which aspects took priority. Although Jennie is located three hours ahead of us, and the two of us have overlapping schedules, Jennie was extremely responsive with every one of our questions and our indecisiveness. We would have got our money’s worth with Jennie from the planning/booking/organizing of our wedding alone but when it came to our actual wedding day… WOW! We were in awe with how smoothly Jennie had everything go! We did not have a single care in the world on our wedding day and it was all thanks to Jennie having everything run like clockwork. The agenda she put together and the way she coordinated with all the different vendors was truly amazing! She even matched the colour of the dress she wore that day to our wedding theme! Little details like that really stood out. Jennie is also such a down to earth person whose company we really enjoyed. Although the wedding planning process can be stressful, Jennie eased that stress and we really will miss our frequent emails back and forth with her now that we’re married. Thank you Jennie! You were such a huge part of our day and we couldn’t imagine it without you! Loveleen & Keenan
