🌟 Meet Jenn – The Heart of AWE Planner! 🌟

To all our new followers—welcome! If you’re wondering who’s behind the magic at AWE Planner, let us introduce you to Jenn:

✨ Hiker, outdoor sports lover, and softball player
✨ Yoga enthusiast & fur baby mom
✨ Travel addict & creative visionary
✨ Fiancé & all-around powerhouse

Jenn’s journey to wedding and event planning started in the restaurant industry—until 2020 changed everything. When the world paused, she pivoted, diving full-time into planning unforgettable weddings. AWE Planner took off, and the rest is history.

In 2023, she was so good at what she does that a San Francisco hotel poached her while she was coordinating a wedding! Now, she balances full-time work at the hotel and running AWE Planner—proving that with skill, organization, and a decade of experience, anything is possible.

How does she keep up? By building an incredible team, staying ahead of every detail, and prioritizing balance. No matter how busy things get, she makes sure every couple feels like the only couple. Because with AWE Planner, there’s always time for YOU.

✨️💍Yaz and Victoria | 7.4.24💍✨️

🏳️‍🌈 Fun fact: When we first launched AWE Planner as a q***r-owned business, our focus was on helping q***r couples bring their wedding visions to life. Fast forward to 2024, Yaz and Victoria were our first q***r couple of the season, and we’ve been honored to work with many more q***r couples since the start.

From the moment they partnered with AWE, Yaz and Victoria had a clear vision for their special day. They seamlessly blended Asian and Southern influences, creating a wedding that was simple, elegant, and deeply intimate.

Congratulations, Yaz and Victoria! Thank you for choosing AWE to be part of such a meaningful celebration. 💕

✨A heartfelt thank you to our wonderful clients Sammi & Chris for their beautiful testimonial! We were honored to be part of your special day on June 22, 2024, at the stunning Olympia’s Valley Estate in Sonoma.

With around 100 guests, the wedding was a breathtaking celebration of love. Thank you for trusting AWE Planner with your month-of coordination. It was a joy to help bring your vision to life!

Read Samantha’s full review below ⬇️ ✨💍👰‍♀️

“Our wedding venue required quite a bit of coordination including managing various rental companies, numerous vendors, and setup of both indoor and outdoor spaces. Despite it being her first time at this venue, Jenn managed every detail flawlessly. During the planning process, Jenn was incredibly helpful, always ready to answer our questions and offer valuable input whenever we needed guidance. She also provided excellent recommendations when we needed help on certain vendors (including a wonderful mobile spritz cart for specialty cocktails). Her responsiveness made the entire planning process stress-free. Additionally, she had a lot of complimentary décor items on hand, which was incredibly helpful when the small details started to feel overwhelming.

During the wedding, she was fantastic at providing direction and ensuring our guests were well taken care of. She handled everything with such professionalism and ease. Our wedding day couldn’t have gone any better. To top it all off, she also managed our florals, and they were absolutely perfect.

We can’t recommend Jenn highly enough. Her expertise, warmth, and dedication made our wedding day truly special. Thank you, Jenn, for everything!”

Hello Everyone!

I have never done an introduction such as this but now that I have a good looking Head shot, so it was about time. I'm the founder and Lead Planner for AWE Planner. I am a Born and Raised Bay Area Native. I grew up in San Jose, went to college in San Francisco, and I've called El Cerrito my home for the past 13 years. I have a degree in Criminal Justice and worked in a rehab facility for paroles, as well as working in San Quentin helping lifers on parole reestablish life outside of prison. My love for helping people has never stopped as I continued this compassion into planning weddings.

I began AWE Planner a little over 9 years ago by entering my first Bridal Fair at the Crowne Plaza in Walnut Creek, from this point I've coordinated and planned hundreds of weddings. I do not advertise AWE Planner, so most of the connections we make with clients are through word of mouth or recommendations from other venues or vendors.

People ask most often how I can be a Wedding Planner? My answer is my big crazy family really helps with honing in wedding clients and guests. If you think your family is rambunctious, you should meet mine. Honestly it is that every couple is different, and so is their love story. Getting to know my clients and their friends and family through the process is the fun part of wedding planning.

Other than planning weddings I am either enjoying water sports, hiking, reading, wine tasting, camping, loving my pets, and my partner Sammie.

Thank you for reading if you made it this far. If you are a client looking for a coordinator please feel free to reach out or to recommend AWE Planner to your friends!

Loved helping these two with their

The bride sent very simple bouquet inspired photos and only asked for a bouquet. We bought so many flowers that we made pieces for everyone involved in their special day.

I had so much fun at the bridal fair yesterday. I shot this video of my favorite part. The grooms to be dance off magic Mike style, or so they think. I had the chance to get to talk to a lot of vendors with new concepts and ideas. A Gelato bar, a braid bar, these are only a couple of vendors that we are adding to our list.
