When I met Jen I was a romantic with a dream. I’d met with a few planners, each ‘special’ in their own way, but none of them had the soul… that spark we were desperately seeking and needing. We needed someone who would just ‘get it’ someone who had vision, energy and a passion for creating beauty in an event that surpassed the ‘usual’ and far surpassed the expected. I needed someone I could work with, vibe with and adore, and well, in one letter, I just knew that Jen was my woman.
Jen just ‘got it’. She had vision, energy and an attitude that meant literally ANYTHING was possible. She was my ‘franc’ with WAY more personality. I never thought I’d ever be able to have a wedding planner, I’m not your typical rich bitch where cost is no problem, and I’m a creative unpredictable being, so I needed someone to reign me in and make it happen, all wondrously fulfilled by the vivacious Jen…who rocked it on the wedding day I might add, a great hit with guests and on the dance floor
In one sparkly fairy-god mother swoop Jen had us meeting deadlines, making decisions, involving the boys and making magic. She not only was the most organised and genuinely fantastic planner, but she has, I hope, become a lifelong friend; someone I was so lucky and happy to meet in the months leading up to the wedding, and let me tell you, on the day when suddenly you feel nervous about walking down the aisle, Jen is there, confident and instructive to calm you down and help you ‘glide’ or ‘kick and flick’ I think her words were, down the aisle.
There is for me, no other planner, than Jen and her team – oh my goodness don’t get me STARTED on her amazing team *Vanessa I love you
Bells N Whistles made the night of our dreams better than we ever could have imagined, thank you wondrous ladies for making the dream come to life.

From day one to wedding day, my fiance and I found the entire process similar to an emotional rollercoaster and we were relieved that someone was there to take away that emotional burden from us and allow us to focus on our busy lives. When times were tense, I was glad that Bells N Whistles(BnW) remained professional. From hindsight, I think being able to remain professional during difficult times is an important quality to look for when choosing a wedding planner because planning a wedding and the wedding itself can be an emotional wreck, especially when your personal time is a limited resource, and BnW has that quality. Jennifer was very engaging and her enthusiasm towards planning our wedding was one of the deciding factors that made me choose BnW amongst others. Vanessa, who I dealt with, was amazing. She was in control and handled everything with poise, and her manners and people skills are impeccable.

We were so happy to find Bells n Whistles to plan our wedding. Jennifer really did a wonderful job; it is amazing that she can plan a whole wedding very well in just five weeks. Jen worked hard to minimise costs to meet our wedding budget, but still associated with premium quality. Honestly, we felt very nervous at the beginning, because we knew that time is rushing, but Jen told us everything would be ok, it would be a wonderful wedding. And finally she did it! Jen is professional, she knew which style we like, and we really trusted her. It is not surprising that we had a beautiful wedding.
Many many thanks, Jen!– Yasong & Yi Yang
Wedding planners really show their worth when they can organise the same quality wedding in a few weeks as if they had 12 months.
This was the case when Bells n Whistles asked me to act as MC for a very intimate wedding that they had pulled together in just five weeks.
The short lead-time was not evident as it had all the trimmings. Jennifer and her team know it takes a team of great vendors to make a great event, and this wedding was no exception.
Jennifer is easy to work with and performs her role with a ton of passion and humour. I look forward to out next event.

You did a super job. As I told you, “it was easy!” because you made it look so easy. It was a small wedding but you made it grand. Chris and I are very thankful that we stumbled upon you and that you did not once hesitate to put together our wedding for us.
That second rainbow in the sky was for you, Jen.
Lots of love,
Karen and Chris

Working with Jennifer to plan my wedding was amazing, she made the whole process of getting married as stress free as possible.
She worked very closely with us to bring our ideas together. From the ideas we had she managed to sort the good from the bad so that the end result was a beautiful ceremony and reception.
The one point that stands out when dealing with Jennifer is her professionalism. Any problem presented to her was dealt with efficiently and resolved to our great satisfaction.
I highly recommend Bells n Whistles!

I really enjoyed working with you and cannot fault any part of your service. You’re full of enthusiasm for what you do and clearly have a passion for it. I love your personalised styling (something which lacks in a lot of weddings I see) and your ability to keep everyone in high spirits.

Bells n Whistles took care of everything and made not only our wedding day, but also the lead up to the wedding day so enjoyable. We never imaged the planning could be so much fun!
Jennifer and her team were so personable and accommodating to all our requests, needs and dreams. They helped us to be a part of every detail, so we felt in control and included, yet they actively took care of everything.
We cannot recommend Bells n Whistles enough to couples getting married and needing some help.

I used Bells n Whistles to co-ordinate my wedding day after we had spent so much time and effort to plan our perfect day.
Jennifer and her team worked tirelessly on the day to setup and ensure it all ran smoothly. Never without a smile, Jennifer went above and beyond are made sure our wedding ran smoothly and perfectly to plan.
A huge thank you to Bells n Whistles.

Jennifer you are AMAZING! We love the style you created for our wedding. We never thought we’d come to an agreement on our wedding since James and I had so many different ideas, but you worked so hard with us until we fell in love with your ideas.
We loved the way you integrated the styling into the whole wedding day – every aspect was perfect.
Being able to call on you at anytime was invaluable and you were always patient with us and provided us with great solutions.
You and the style guide you created made planning our own wedding so much easier and more efficient. Thank you!
– Patricia George

We loved the way you always smiled, an never did you tells us no. Instead you found solutions and worked hard at bringing everything together within a few short months.
Words can’t tell you how appreciative we are!
