One thing I have to say: If you want to enjoy your wedding day and live in the moment, HIRE THEM. I was skeptical at first paying someone to do tasks that I could do but, man, am I happy I hired them!! I didn’t stress about which vendor was here at this time.. who needs this at that time… where “X” is going to go.. where “Y” needs to be.. she and her assistant did it all! My wedding day went so smooth and simply got to just enjoy it and I give it all to April at J starr. Do yourself a favor future bride, hire them.

April Warner was the absolute best wedding planner we could have ever asked for! She made our dream wedding become a reality, and we enjoyed every minute of our time spent working with her. Not only is she organized, professional and responsive, but she also has the best personality and always has a smile on her face. Our families STILL talk about how amazing she was, and we couldn’t be more honored to have had her help plan our wedding. We gained a friend in April and also achieved all our wedding dreams!

Jennifer and April were amazing to work with! They were with me every step of the way to make sure that my big day so special. I would definitely recommend J Starr Weddings to any couple that is in need of a great wedding planner in Arizona.

J Starr Company was so helpful right from the beginning. Jennifer knew after our first conversation that April would be the perfect Event Planner for me. And that could not have been more true. April was AMAZING. We had the perfect connection. She was on top of every single detail throughout the entire planning. I can honestly say I gained more than an event planner, I now consider April a friend. 😊

We planned our wedding in the thick of the pandemic. Before vaccines were out and our venue was under construction. Hiring the J Starr team was the BEST decision we made during the wedding planning process. Our planner was April and she is incredible. Detail oriented, calm, organized, and supportive. She held our hand every step of the way. On our wedding day, we truly got to enjoy the experience because she was there doing a million things to protect it. We're so grateful for her leadership of the vendor team. We highly recommend April and the J Starr team for any couple looking for a wedding planner.

Hiring J Starr was the best wedding decision I made. I originally was going to just work with the on site coordinator and when I had my initial call with J Star they mentioned how that job tends to turnover often and if that happens right before the wedding that can be stressful.......AND THAT IS EXACTY WHAT HAPPENED! About 3 weeks before the wedding a new site coordinator was hired. Because I had J Starr it was super seamless but I know if it was me working directly with the venue it would have been awful! April was our coordinator and I wish we lived in the same city because we would literally be best friends. She is the nicest most detail oriented person. With her I was able to actually enjoy my day. It was very stress free and wonderful and my husband and I really credit all of that to her!

We NEVER thought we would be using a Wedding Planner. However, we accidently came across J. Starr Wedding Co. and quickly learned the difference between a venue coordinator and a Wedding Planner. Hiring J. Starr Wedding Planners was the BEST decision we made – especially since we were planning a destination wedding from another state. We highly recommend J. Starr Wedding Company. Jennifer was so helpful in helping us review vendor contracts and provide guidance on vendors, and the Wedding Day planner, April, was AMAZING!!! I cannot say enough about Jennifer & April and all they did to help the bride & groom realize their special day! Once we met with Jennifer & April, we were hooked and understood how valuable a wedding planner would be to allow us to enjoy the wedding day. There are MANY DETAILS that go on during a wedding and even when all plans are “in place” – there are still details that come up on the wedding day. Having April there to take care of all those details was so valuable and critical to having the day run smoothly - which allowed us to enjoy the day. Everyone was raving about April after the wedding – even the guests could see she was the person in charge of getting things done! We miss her so much and absolutely encourage every couple to use J. Starr Wedding – you will be so grateful you made the decision to hire them. If you can have them plan the entire wedding, they will make it happen. If you can only hire them for the Day Of – that will also be worthwhile – because ALOT happens on the day of the wedding. Having April deal with all vendor details was a lifesaver!!

April was my wedding planner and I have nothing but great things to say. I have been told by many of my guests how seamless and perfect our wedding was and I know this is be because of the J Starr team. I have already recommended them to 2 of my friends with 2022 weddings!

Working with April at J.Starr made our wedding day run with complete ease! The week of the wedding can bring extra stressors and April made sure to take this off our plate and let us know that everything was taken care of. On our wedding day, I knew that we could fully enjoy our day and that April and her team would make sure the details, ceremony and reception would be perfect and run smoothly. She catered to us throughout the day/night and went above and beyond! I can't think of one thing that didn't go our way and we have April to thank for that!
Quite simply put, our wedding wouldn’t have been as spectacular or loved by family without the support of Jennifer and her team. I have numerous examples of the thought and dedication they put in. I’ll give you a few to help if you are considering a planner (which you 100% should), why you should choose J.Starr: 1. They have Vendor knowledge! Photography is HUGE with weddings and there are literally 1000s to choose from. When I was discussing which photogs I liked Jennifer she pointed out to me different tricks and tips some photographers use that would have NOT matched my personal style. I didn’t even notice at first but after talking with Jennifer I couldn’t unsee the extra filters and edits that were used. 2. They know their Time-line management. I have never planned a wedding before and I was overwhelmed about what vendors should start when. I really wanted to maximize the bang for my buck. They seriously took the reigns with this and it was a huge relief to have someone I trust take over and make educated suggestions. Specially with the photo booth, which I had scheduled over the dinner. They caught that mix up and we were able to change the time to an hour later so more people would use it. (btw it always had a line!!!) 3. April Warner was my onsite planner. I love Jennifer and her TEAM! But April put out all the fires on my big day, literally. My favorite example involved a fire!!! I was just about to walk down the aisle and a candle fell and the glass broke right in front of my path. I was standing there with my bouquet and everyone staring at me and April Immediately went to work and put out the flame and cleared the glass. Later I requested the video of the glass breaking and I noticed that no more than 1 second after the sound of the glass shattering you can see April springing into action.
I don't even know where to start. Jennifer and April came into my life at the perfect time while I was at the beginning of my wedding planning and they happily took the reigns and I have the BEST wedding. April is a heaven sent! Everything you want in a wedding planner, hands down. Very professional and gets the job done!

We could not have been more pleased in working with the J.Starr team for our wedding. Jennifer and April made the entire experience seamless and easily. From the beginning, Jennifer went out of her way to answer my questions in choosing her team for my big day. This helped to reassure I made the right decision as other vendors I was talking to didn't go to the length she did. I had purchased month of coordination. In working with April, the month+ leading up to my wedding, she was so professional, friendly, organized, just absolutely amazing to work with. She had every little detail covered. And all my other vendors enjoyed working with her! Day of, she covered little details I had missed. For instance, we did a football toss with the garter. She had a sharpe I had forgot for the groomsmen to sign it for remembrance. There was also a point in the night April and Alicia put bandaids on my feet as my new shoes had dug in on me. She helped my mom and sister bustle my wedding dress. I would recommend the J. Starr team to anyone. I could truly go on and on about how great these ladies are. :)
Thank you Jenn and especially April for helping us with such a wonderful weekend! Devon and I both agree it was the best weekend and we couldn't have done it without April and her assistant!
