This team is AMAZING! I was about six months into wedding planning and feeling completely overwhelmed. I reached out and spoke with Jean Rivers who instantly made me feel at ease. She took the reigns for the following six months and coordinated/handled everything from several vendors, picking up all rental items, handling everything day of (controlling the crowd, getting me where I need to be in time, etc). I am so thankful for her and her awesome team! Brides... you must get a wedding planner ASAP!
Booking Blue Llama Events and working with Jean was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding. She was worth every penny. I do not live in Indy, and I had to plan my entire wedding remotely. She was very responsive, always had excellent recommendations for venders, and helped me keep every detail organized. I know she had many other events to work on, but she always made me feel like my small event was a priority. I highly recommend working with Jean and her team from Blue Llama.
Working with Jean is like a dream! She is so professional and thoughtful. Every step of the way was a breeze for my wedding. I canNOT recommend her enough for all events. I will definitely work with her in the future!!
Jean and her team are AMAZING! When I started wedding planning I thought I had it together but Jean literally came in and saved me when I didn’t know where to go or who to turn to! Her team is amazing with same day coordination even with crazy Indian weddings! I can’t thank Jean and her team enough!! They go above and beyond!
Jean rivers is a very nasty women. Very inconsiderate and cancels last minute. Would not recommend her to anyone. I was shocked at how unprofessional and immature she is. Would recommend that If anyone is looking to do business with her that they look else where.
I loved working with Jean to help her with a virtual event! She is very responsive and takes care of her customers with creative solutions! I highly recommend her for your next event!
Jean is absolutely amazing. She helped coordinate the most beautiful Indian fusion wedding. We were able to enjoy our day because she made sure everything was perfect. Our day was EPIC and ELEGANT. Highly recommend!!
During a pandemic and all the ups and downs of wedding planning, this team knows how to make your dream wedding happen! Jean and her team have been there with me months in advance. They have answered every question quickly and have helped every bump in the road. My main thing was to not stress during our wedding day and that was what they did! Every little detail months before to the end of the night was perfect and I have a lot to thank because of them! If you’re ever thinking about needing a wedding planner? You DO! And I 100% would recommend them to everyone!
I cant say enough positive things about Jean, Maddie and the rest of the team. I wish I could keep them on for my day to day life lol Jean really took the weight of wedding planning off my shoulders and was just generally nice to talk to. The help on the wedding day was invaluable. They took care of everything so I didnt have to and stayed the entire night to help with any clearing up after the party was over. It was so nice to have someone calm and in control to lean on. 10/10 would reccomend
We definitely made the right decision by working with Jean and Blue Llama Events for our wedding! Jean is creative, responsive, level headed, and strategic. Her coordinator, Katie, helped us on the day-of, and she kept our unusual event from becoming stressful.We had originally planned a December 2020 wedding, and like so many couples, the pandemic created too much uncertainty to move forward. In June, my fiance and I decided to elope in our backyard - with 20 days notice. Jean and her team stepped up without hesitating. She kept us on track, helped us think through these strange scenarios, and made the whole day so special and stress-free. We look forward to working with her on our post-pandemic party plan!
Jean was truly wonderful to work with in planning my event! She knew great vendors and I even enjoyed just chatting with her. Could not recommend Blue Llama enough!
Jean was very helpful and professional. Follower work and other decorations were perfect.Dance floor and stage was exactly same as a ask them. Thank you Jean and your team for great and fantastic job. You people made my and my family day very special. Once again thank you guys.
Jean and her team at Blue Llama Events did a wonderful job helping our team with an event! Jean began working with our team 9 months in advanced, to help with planning a conference with over 400 guests. Her knowledge of local vendors and ability to negotiate prices helped our team stay within and under budget. Jeans sharp organizational skills were necessary when coordinating travel, transportation, and hotel accommodations for numerous guests. The Blue Llama Events team always showed up ready to work on time, with positive energy, and excitement to put on a great event!
I absolutely loved working with Jean for our wedding day! I was initially hesitant to hire a wedding coordinator due to our budget, but she was BEYOND worth it and I can’t imagine pulling the day off without her. She was quick with communication and coordination between me and the wedding venue – which had been a HUGE struggle before working with Jean. She always kept my wishes as a top priority and truly had my back throughout the months that we worked together. Even on the wedding day she was the one person that kept me sane and relaxed! I could not be more thankful to have had Jean as a part of our big day!
Jean is awesome! I hired Blue Llama to set up / tear down decorations on my wedding day (think: centerpieces, memorial table, etc.) and also used some of their decorations including table numbers, a cake stand, and floating candles for my centerpieces. Jean put all of my centerpieces together beautifully, and even cut flowers and eucalyptus for the bud vases! It saved me so much money as I didnt need to hire a florist, but more than that it saved me from so much stress! Worth every penny.
Blue Llama events is amazing to work with! She takes care of everything for you, so you have absolutely ZERO stress during your wedding or event OR during the planning process. Shes very professional and so good at what she does. I HIGHLY recomend her!
I was recently the DJ at a wedding that Jean from Blue Llama Events was the event planner and coordinator. If I had to sum her performance up in 1 word I would say AMAZING. She was fast in her communications with me prior to the wedding! She helped work out some last minute details with the room arrangement which was no small effort! On the wedding day she helped everything go smooth! She jumped in when she was needed and did it all with a smile on her face! I do hope to work with Jean again soon and I highly recommend her if you need an event planner, she is excellent!
On behalf of Hoaglin Fine Catering, we just wanted to say that we love working with you! We love being apart of your events and seeing what you create. Hoaglin highly recommends Jean to plan your next event!
My experience with Blue Llama Events was phenomenal. Everything went off perfectly and it was an extremely difficult event to plan and execute. I came to Blue Llama Events with a completely bespoke event request. Other event planners did not even want to take on the project, and Jean welcomed the challenge. The logistics were difficult, as everyone attending was from out of town, so all of the planning had to be done from a distance, but I always felt reassured that everything was set and ready to go. Jean runs a very tight ship, everything is thoroughly thought out, many options are given, accompanied by excellent advice. Expenses are watched carefully, and the attention to detail is outstanding. Jean is operates the business with the utmost integrity and professionalism. I could not have been happier with the experience and the result!
I hired Jean on as a same day coordinator originally just to help set up decor on my wedding day. But she became so much more than that!! Jean did such a great job keeping me organized and bringing the whole day together! She was always prompt in answering texts/emails and no task seemed too difficult for her! She was so great to work with the month before as well and helped de-stress so much! Between her helping with decor set up and allowing me to use some of her decor, she actually helped save me a lot on extra charges. Her cost is so reasonable the value is beyond what I could have imagined! I cannot say enough great things about my experience. She was always willing to go the extra mile with the vision I was going for and making sure the vendors were all on the same page. I HIGHLY recommend Blue Llama Events for any type of planning you may need!! Excellent service!!
I have had the blessing of working with Jean at Blue Llama on two occasions now and each time she is absolutely phenomenal. As a fellow wedding professional, I have come to see the incredible importance of having a talented and professional planner. I can truly say that Jean fits that bill to a T. We worked together recently on an Indian wedding and she managed to run the entire event seamlessly even though she was working on a holiday with minimal help. I highly recommend her and will be encouraging all of my clients to utilize her amazing skills and services.
I just worked multi day wedding with Jean. She was amazing and very nice to work with. It was a fun event with all great people. Jean works super hard and was very informative. Thank you for everything!
Jean is the best! She gets things done! She was the Coordinator of a wedding that I photographed and she did an amazing job!!! There was a problem with a DIY bridal detail that malfunctioned and I didn’t even notice because she was able to smoothly make it work and the reception was absolutely flawless! She is a professional and able to think on her feet which is so important since there are always little things that will come up!
Jean and her team were beyond amazing!! They went above and beyond their roles! From the moment we met with Jean, she was so organized and on top of everything, I knew hiring her was the right choice! For our reception, we had a lot of small details to be executed and her team set it up exactly as I envisioned. Jean was the go to for the night, my right hand woman, to guide us through the order of events. Right after our ceremony, we realized we forgot to bring the sparklers for our sparkler exit, I was devastated, and literally minutes later Jean said dont worry about it, we have it taken care of, no joke, within an hour her team found an open store on a Sunday, got long sparklers and had them put in the sparkler jar in time for sparkler sendoff. That meant the world to us since thats the one moment we were beyond excited for! Her and her team were lifesavers!! She stayed until the very end, cleaning everything up and packing it all into my familys vehicles. We were blown away by how efficient she was! Such a pro! We will definitely recommend her to engaged friends! A day of coordinator is definitely worth every penny, especially if its Blue Llama Events! We highly recommend having the dream team work together, photographer(Dauss Miller), Videograher (Vibe Productions), DJ (Track Seven-Joel), and Blue Llama Events (Jean), they worked seamlessly together! Thank you Jean!! Youre the best!
