"Hi Jill, How are you?? I am sure very busy ;)! Before I send out my formal thank yous I wanted to write you a quick note to tell you how beautiful and perfect everything was on my wedding day. Colin and I are so happy with how everything went, it was absolutely spectacular. The vendors you recommended and we used were amazing. The flowers/decor/candles were beyond exquisite Jill, I wish you could have seen it, it literally took my breath away (and everyone else's for that matter :)). Camille is fabulous! And Jon, from JHS was great, so fun to work with, easy to get along with and was on it. Both bands were beyond both Colin and my expectations. I would recommend them to everyone. Dina and Courtney were both great and very personable and professional. Dina did a great job distracting me before I walked in the Church as I was about to get emotional! I am so happy we swapped the chairs for the chivari, its made the room feel much more cozy and classy, perfection! Thank you for everything Jill! Love, Meika"

"Jill, It has been a month since Chris and Erin’s wedding. Not a day goes by that we don’t reminisce about some aspect of that wonderful event. I cannot thank you enough for the amazing job you did. Every vendor you have in your repertoire was fantastic! Every aspect of the event moved so seamlessly. Our guests had such a terrific time they did not want the weekend to end. We only expected 40 people for brunch Sunday morning and 70 showed up! Thank you again for all your wonderful ideas, your attention to detail, and your incredible coordination of everything. You were a joy to work with and you helped my daughter plan the fairy tale event she always wanted. She was a very, very happy bride. Warmest Regards, Deborah Moch" (Mother of the Bride)

"Dear Jill, Hope you have been doing well since we last saw each other. With the wedding season in full swing, I'm sure you're totally engrossed in your work and thoroughly in your element. Life has quieted down for us-relatively speaking-and it has given us a change to reflect upon our wonderful wedding experience. Actually, wonderful is not a strong enough word. Photographs of the event, numerous compliments from out guests and our own glowing memories of the day are testament to a trule magical experience. You were instrumental in creating that magic and we would be remiss if we didn't properly express to you our profound gratitude. From the start, we were impressed with your eye for detail, your warm, personal style and your can-do approach to every idea thrown on the table. Choosing to work with you was one of our first and best decisions. After our first meeting, Jimmy commented that for every wedding idea we shared, you made suggestions on how to make them happen, how to enhance them, or how to make them uniquely "ours". Despite the fact that our wedding day was only two months away, you made up feel confident that our wedding would be exactly the one we envisioned. This speaks to your resourcefulness, your creativity and your optimistic approach to your craft. We love that about you! We also love the professionals you surround yourself with; the wedding would not have been the same without the amazing vendors you recommended. When calling them for the first time, all we had to do was mention your name; if they were available they offered their services immediately. We realized very quickly that everyone wants to be part of a "Jill La Fleur wedding" because it is sure to be a top-notch event. When our wedding day finally arrived, we felt totally at ease knowing that you were there to take care of every last detail. As the day unfolded before our eyes, it was clear that you had orchestrated a wedding day more elegant and more seamless than even we had dreamed possible. We only wish that we had more than 2 months to plan our wedding so that we could have spent more time getting to know you! We greatly appreciate all of your assistance, Jill. Thank you so much for all of your ideas, support and efforts-but most of all, for your calm and steady hand. We feel blessed to have found you." With warmest regards,

JILL LAFLEUR, THE WEDDING PLANNER - Jill is AMAZING! She is meant to do this job. I hired Jill as my "day of" coordinator - although she went above and beyond! From the moment I met with her I knew I wanted her to be there on my wedding day as she is calming, incredibly nurturing and caring, and extremely organized! I hired Jill very early on in the planning process and she made herself available to me every step of the way - a majority of our communication was via email and Jill responded to every single email promptly and answered each question in detail. Actually, her response time is probably the best of all of my vendors - she is on it! She suggested referrals when I needed them and each vendor she referred to me was not only amazing, but they offered discounts or incentives just because of the referral from Jill. Jill's fee paid for itself because of her connections and relationships with Santa Barbara vendors. The day of my wedding was smooth, stress-free, and well coordinated. My family fell in love with her too! Coming from a self-described over-organizer, Jill is an all around superstar. I highly recommend her services to a bride looking for any scope of coordination, from "day of" to "full service". She is a delight to work with not only on a professional level, but her personality is so wonderful, she becomes a much needed presence during a commonly stressful time. She becomes the "friend" you need to calm your nerves so that you can relax and soak in a truly special time! - Tara Borges"

The flowers were so fragrant and beautifully arranged, the table linens were beautiful and the harpost was amazing. Everything tied in so nicely, it was more than Katie ever imagined but very much of what she deserved. Everyone enjoyed the afternoon and most importantly, I think it was a day that Katie won't ever forget. Thank you again for all of your help to make that day special.

What a pleasure from the beginning of the day until the band played their last song, knowing that you were taking care of everything. Your presence gave me the peace of mind to know that I could totally enjoy myself. I was sorry to see the evening end. One of my friends told me to look around and take everything in because it would be over all too soon. Even though I took her advice, I want to go back and relive the entire day. I'm pretty sure we had the BEST in the business taking us through what turned out to be a fairy tale day. I still want to know how you got the sun to appear! All the best to you and your assistant.

Thank you seems so small compared to the thankfulness I have in my heart for your 'Loving care' you took in making sure that Brittany and Rod's wedding went 'perfectly'..and it did!

And they are saying their wedding was The Most Beautiful and Lovely that they have attended. Jesus gets all of the Glory for the perfection of the day...the weather, music, the 'joy' of the day... and He used you Jill for His hands and feet to have it run so beautifully! That day had to be one of the sweetest and Best in my life! I love you Jill and thank the Lord for your or 'our' new friendship!

"Dear Jill: I hope this message finds you well - enjoying a busy wedding season. I think of you often...and remember the beautiful day you created for Alex and I on 9/21/07. We just celebrated our one year anniversary at the Four Seasons in Santa Barbara - hard to believe how quickly time has gone. An acquaintance just asked me who coordinated our wedding and this is what I said...
"Jill La Fleur was our wedding coordinator. Jill is wonderful - calm, sweet, patient... a real pro. She handled everything beautifully, and I highly recommend her. At the last minute - due to rain -we had to move our outdoor ceremony location (Mariposa Garden) inside. Jill turned the El Mar room into this cozy, intimate, romantic location. Fire place going, flowers, candles. At the risk of sounding corny...it was magical and more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. In short, Jill is quick on her feet and extremely reliable. If you decide to call her, please tell her hello and that I recommended her." At any rate...thank you again for everything. It was such an incredible day." Warm Regards, Emily

I have been reflecting on our wedding day recently. And I want to thank you again for the amazing day you put together at the Four Seasons Biltmore. You saved the day, Jill. Even with the rain.... you whisked us away to a cozy, beautiful room that many have told me was one of the romantic ceremony sites they have ever seen. From day one you had such a sense of calm (on top of being very organized)...and you helped shape all of the details, the dreams into a truly beautiful reality. It was unforgettable. Thank you.
I truly enjoyed working with you and getting to know you. (This has been on my mind - so I thought I would share it again!) I hope all is well! Please keep in touch. Warmly, Emily"

"We have been receiving nothing but raves about our wedding on Saturday.... and all of us are absolutely thrilled about how it turned out; especially the most important person..the bride! She said she couldn't sleep that night, she kept replaying it all in her head. We got exceedingly lucky with the weather...but all the rest had nothing to do with luck...just excellent advice and planning! All of your referrals were wonderful.....it amused me that the only one I didn't ask you for was lighting, and then I had to in the 11th hour, and he was great too. All my friends have asked how I seemed so calm on Saturday, and I explained it was because you were in charge and I was just following directions by then....bliss!!! Anyway, all the Gauntts and Kirbys want to thank you for making our day so flawless (another word I've been hearing!) and would love to be on your list of testimonials if you could use yet another.
I'll miss you! And I'm sure you'll be hearing from Brittany down the road. Oh also, I called Jon Ireland on Monday to apologize for the fact that we forgot to pay him! He is adorable ...and mailed him a check, and also a check for a tip to Saul the DJ. And Camille! What a job she did! Someone told me it looked like an elegant dining room in a beautiful home. Well now I am rambling, but I'm sure you are getting how grateful and delighted we are with our wedding planner!!!!!!"

"I came across Jill thanks to the Bacara preferred vendor list. Having reviewed all of the vendor websites suggested by Bacara, as well as conducting my own research, it became clear that Jill was in a league of her own. During our first phone call, I knew that I wanted to hire her. Her taste is impeccable, her suggestions well thought-out and gently delivered, and her demeanor accommodating and flexible. Not to mention that she is as cool as a cucumber - this woman can't be flustered - and she bends over backwards to be helpful. I only hired her for the rehearsal dinner and ceremony day-of coordination because I had a clear idea of what I wanted but, for brides who are not sure what they want, I would definitely suggest handing over the reins to Jill as I completely trust her judgment. And, even if you only follow in my footsteps, know that Jill's coordination package includes great vendor recommendations." Michelle Brown, Bride

Fondly, Nina Rubin (Mother of the Bride)."

"Jill was so calm and confident—so easy to trust and to work with. You’ll recognize her from My Big Fat Obnoxious Fiance (Reality Show)…! And she was a beautiful bride too this year if you checked her posts and Windless Chimes website. We had Jill for the day of, and I wish I had her around more than that. She was great to work with. We met with Jill when we first got engaged and she was everything we expected. She did everything we asked her to and more! She oversaw things at the reception and kept things flowing smoothly. She called and confirmed our vendors and smoothed out wrinkles in our scheduling. I am a teacher-organized and yes a tad controlling-and Jill was so sweet-never made me feel like I was a demanding bride although I had totally specific requests. She rolled with it all and really eased my tension the day of. (and the days leading up to it knowing that I didn’t have to worry on my wedding day about anything—that’s what Jill was doing!)" - Posted on www.santabarbarawedding.com

"There are no words to express our thanks and appreciation for the beautiful wedding you and the Bacara staff planned for Holly and Zia’s wedding. It was a fairytale wedding and everything was spectacular. Even the weather was perfect! Thanks to your great organizational skills there was not one single misstep. You did a superb job and you were a pleasure to work with. It will certainly be am event the Adams and Ansari families will long remember. I hope you were able to return home safely Saturday night with the roads closed due to the fire. We were concerned about you. Again, millions of thanks for making Holly and Zia’s wedding a dream occasion."
