Wedding Planner:

Jennifer Taylor of Taylor’d Events by Jennifer  

Photo by Azzura PhotographyWhat inspired you to start your business? 
Planned my wedding with a planner and found it complimented my strengths in organization and details.  After my wedding was over, my planner told me to go out on my own, so I did. 

What sets you apart from other vendors in your field?
With a background in inventory and material management, I am very organized and a get down to business work ethic, I even have other planners come to me to help them with events they are working on because they know I will get the job done.  Some call me a taskmaster, but I would rather be known as someone who focuses on the details so you focus on the moments and joy that your wedding day brings. 
I have a team approach to my planning; I work with the team of vendors as a collective whole so that we all work towards delivering the vision of your wedding. 

What's your style?
My personal style, would be comfortable and classic, Nordstrom’s, Talbots, Ethan Allen.  My wedding style, I have done many weddings and I am glad to say none of them look alike, so I would like to say that I try to bring the couples style into the wedding, not mine.

What is the main thing that makes you unique? 
My family has lived and worked in Woodinville since the mid 1930’s.  

What is your greatest strength? 
Organization 

What are you most proud of? 
Being awarded the 2010 Seattle Bride Best Day of Wedding Coordinator
