My daughters wedding reception at The Majestic Theatre was beautiful and classy. My family and friends gushed over how wonderful it was, what I super job I did! The truth is, it was perfect because of Jenni Grubba. She was the person who created our magical night. Right from the start, Jenni instilled in me a sense of confidence that this was going to be the best party ever. She told me to come to her with any questions or concerns. "Ive got this," she said. She had included in our Introduction Packet, names of a top caterer, professional photographers, DJ/MC, along with wonderful ideas and pictures for decorating the theatre. Because the wedding date was over a holiday weekend, finding a florist was tricky. After talking with several different ones with no results, I contacted Jenni. By the end of the day, Jenni had located an experienced florist and had an appointment set up for the three of us to meet. Throughout the months and weeks leading up to the wedding date, Jenni kept in touch via email and with monthly face-to-face check ins. She was always organized, efficient, and ahead of schedule. She knew exactly what needed to be done and who could provide the various services or rentals. She knew little details that would make the reception personal and elegant. This was the first wedding I was planning and there were many details that needed to be address. I cannot tell you how much her attention to details meant to me. The actual wedding reception was amazing! Jenni herself picked up necessary items from my house the day prior. She then set up the entire theater. When the wedding party and guests arrived, everything was in place. The transformation of the theater into an elegant wedding party was amazing. Jenni was very professional, overseeing the staff and making sure the flow of the party continued without hitches. I could relax and enjoy my daughters wedding with the rest of my family and friends. Both my husband and I were more than just pleased with the reception. Now, months later, I am still telling people that this wonderful woman named Jenni Grubba was the magic maker. Few people can say that a wedding was stress free and perfect. I am one of those lucky ones and I have Jenni G. to thank for it. She is an amazing woman and event planner. You are very fortunate to work with her. You are in extremely capable hands. - Maria Weber Madison, WI

My husband and I LOVED having our wedding reception at the Majestic and loved, loved, loved Jenni. She was the best person to work with out of all the people we encountered during the wedding planning process, better than I could have asked for, and one of the best decisions we made. We hired her for her extra services-we got her special package of picking up the decorations, decorating the place, as well as "running" our ceremony. She not only followed through on everything that needed to be taken care of, her decorating was beautiful, she anticipated our needs, made helpful suggestions, and really led us through the process in the ways we needed. On the other hand, we were self-sufficient and knew what we wanted in a lot of ways, so for those things she totally let us lead the way and followed our lead or stayed out of it. She was so attentive and intuitive in this way. I loved working with her every step of the way and loved having her there the day and night of. She knew what she was doing in not just the management of the event, but also in her interactions and people-skills (for example working with two sets of parents and lots of different people we put in charge of different things, rowdy guests, taking care of myself and my husband, etc.). EVERYONE that I talked to that worked with her loved her and was glad we hired her. She really made the day go smoothly and so I didnt have to even think about anything but enjoying myself. On the day of, I totally felt like I could trust her, didnt feel like I needed to do a thing, and she came through completely. ~ Colleen & Adam

As owners of a photography business (Joe & Jen Photography), we have had the pleasure of knowing and working with Jenni Grubba during many weddings over the past 4 years. As I sit down to reflect and write a testimonial for Jenni, Ive become a bit awestruck and emotional thinking back on all of the times this amazing person has contributed her talents to support not only us, but the growth of countless skilled industry vendors and of course, her lucky Clients. This is what you can expect when hiring Jenni: the very best, and then some. I strongly encourage that you meet with her if you have the chance. Youll see - from the very first moment, theres no doubt about who she is and what she is able to accomplish. Her openness and sincere passion for her Clients happiness and for what she does, combined with her seemingly endless supply of energy, make her irreplaceable. The number of times Ive seen her anxious wedding Clients become 100% relaxed, confident, and joyful knowing that the details and logistics are being handled by Jenni is countless, and applies to every single Client weve had in common. Ive had the honor of experiencing this myself in abundance over the past several years of working with her. We look forward to hiring her for our own destination wedding in February (there were no other options remotely considered), and we cannot wait to see what the future holds for this full-hearted, ambitious, unstoppable powerhouse. If the opportunity presents itself, HIRE HER! There are lots of great planners out there, but there is only one Jenni Grubba.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with and knowing Jenni for just over 2 and a half years. I’ve worked a few events with her, and we have worked dozens of weddings together. She is with couples every step of the way and always goes above and beyond the call of duty. She is organized, caring, and VERY good at what she does. Jenni takes charge and assures each event she works runs smoothly and that everyone is happy. She truly cares about not only her clients, but also those who are working with her; everyone is a friend to her, and when you hire her, you WILL get the care and attention that anyone would give to their friend. I have seen her transform a venue from a cluttered concert aftermath into a beautiful, majestic wedding wonderland. She can adapt to each couple’s unique personality, she can anticipate what her client’s needs are, and she creates a very stress-free and fun environment. She is a woman of many talents, and often becomes Wonder Woman on wedding days. Honestly, there are not enough words in the world to describe how extraordinary Jenni, her dedication, and her events are- it is something you definitely need to experience first-hand. You absolutely could not possibly be in better hands when it comes to Jenni Grubba.

I cant say enough wonderful things about Jenni. Shes AMAZING!! She was the key reason that my wife and I felt relaxed on our wedding day. Thanks to Jenni, we were able to truly enjoy the day without worrying about details and problems that would inevitably arise. A couple months before our wedding, a close friend suggested that we hire a planner. We hadnt decided to do so, but our friend was insistent that we would enjoy ourselves more if we handed over the scheduling, vendor relationships, and details to someone other than a friend or family member. This turned out to be SO true and we are forever grateful to Jenni for making our day perfect. She even did some gorgeous last-minute caligraphy for our bar signs. Jenni is kind and sweet, incredibly organized, but also easy-going. We met a few event planners who honestly stressed us out. Jenni did just the opposite. She calmly took over the details that had been overwhelming us, and executed things perfectly. During our wedding and dinner reception, there were a few things that arose that Jenni dealt with quickly and quietly-- so much so that we didnt even know there were hiccups!
