Jove Meyer Events

Jove was a key partner in making sure my wedding went off smoothly. From finding some key vendors to ensuring that the wedding ran on time to protecting our bare dancing feet from a broken wine glass, Jove made sure that our wedding was perfect for John and I. I’d highly recommend Jove because he will not only make sure that your day is special, but that you enjoy every second.

The only bad thing I can say is that 5 stars isn’t enough for Jove Meyers Events.
My wife and I live in Chicago but she’s from Brooklyn so a wedding in New York was the plan. After months of trying to do it ourself we realized we needed help. After a few weeks of looking we came across Jove.
Immediately we knew he was going to be a partner in our wedding.
He called it «our wedding» and he meant it. My wife instantly loved him and he took action. You don’t know what a planner does until you see it all come together. We’ve all witnessed planners at weddings, often they are intrusive and a bore, simply unliked.
The absolute opposite with Jove, my family and friends loved him and his team so much that I think they are in the family pictures now. Not just the wedding ones, but we’ve added him to pictures from the 1980’s, my high school year book in the 90’s, etc. Lol.
I can’t say how much I appreciate Jove. Jove and his team took care of us & everything. Not only coordinating 3 caterers, a food truck, flowers, transportation, he even made sure we stayed hydrated and fed.
As important Jove made sure we didn’t pay for services he provided that we didn’t need, saving us on the budget. He was honest and fair at every turn.
Jove took my very anxious wife, on a very anxious day and immediately put her at ease as promised, he delivered.
We couldn’t have had the perfect wedding without Jove. He was absolutely right «our wedding» was perfect. We love Jove!
If you are planning a wedding do yourself a solid and call Jove Meyers Events. If it’s where you start it will be where you end up. He’s amazing! We love him.

I really can’t imagine what our wedding would have been like without Jove. In addition to being terrifically organized and super knowledgeable, he is just an awesome guy to be around.
Our wedding involved a lot of moving parts, since we were working with a venue that had no in-​house vendors. We had three food vendors and desserts from five different places! Amazingly, everything went off without a hitch.
I am a very «diy» type of individual, but no amount of Googling can really prepare you for the number of questions that will come up when you are planning a wedding. Jove has a ton of great tips if you want alternatives to «traditional» wedding customs, though I could see him being a great fit with any type of wedding. His services are worth every penny.
Whether you want to have a 500-​person fête at the Museum of Natural History or 50 people on a Brooklyn rooftop, do yourself a favor and hire Jove! I can’t recommend him highly enough.

As the Sales & Marketing manager of an event Venue in Brooklyn, I cannot say enough how much of a pleasure it is to work with Jove Meyer!
I always feel a wave of relief when couples inform me that they’ve decided to work with Jove and his team as it’s pretty much a guarantee of a smooth event and a great time!

Where do I even begin with Jove… it was love at first (SKYPE) sight. I live in Chicago, from NY, and was about to plan a wedding in Brooklyn. I knew I needed a wedding planner, and what I got was not only a wedding planner but an artist, a decorator, a visionary, a FRIEND! Jove helped us pick out every vendor we used, from photographer, florist, DJ, and the AMAZING food trucks. He provided choices for each vendor based on our «vibe» (a word he must have gotten sick of me using by the end), our budget, and taste. Jove visited each vendor with us, helping to make the right choices, and I am 100% THRILLED with each and every choice we made. After picking the vendors, Jove helped bring the «vision» to life with the design and the structure of the day, truly making it a dream come true! I can not say enough how highly I think of Jove and his work, and thinking of more events we can plan together!

Jove was our full-​service wedding planner for my husband and I, who got married in Brooklyn. In looking back at the entire wedding planning process and how crazy/​stressful it can be (particularly in NY), I do not know how we would have survived without Jove.
Jove has incredible taste, vision, and creative direction. He transformed a warehouse in Brooklyn into an incredible and beautiful venue with unique touches and components. He was the perfect complement — working within our budget, recommending a variety of appropriate vendors, and executing above and beyond the day we had discussed.
If it weren’t for Jove, we also wouldn’t have found our amazing band, our lighting company, rentals, and caterer — some of our favorite vendors! He listened to our preferences and budget and offered the perfect fit. This within itself saved a lot of time, energy, and effort in the planning process.
Jove was professional, on-​time, responsive, during our entire planning process!
Thank you, Jove — our wedding wouldn’t have been what it was without you!

We got married 3 days ago in Long Island City and had a HUGE multicultural affair on the coldest day of the year. Jove helped us out with month-​of and day-​of coordination, and throughout it all, was completely professional — and SO FUN! the Jove Meyer Events team provided excellent recommendations, followed up and communicated with ALL of our terrific vendors, and on the day of the wedding ensured that everything went off smoothly. To be sure there were minor bumps in the road but Jove and Erin alerted us to them immediately as they came up and were able to handle them all expeditiously and smoothly such that no one noticed a thing!
On the morning of our wedding we left Jove and Erin a large pile of boxes full of my DIY projects, our programs and menus and hundreds of candles on the floor of our warehouse space — and by the time the ceremony came, the venue had been completely transformed into a magical and romantic vintage wedding scene I thought I could only dream about. The energy the whole night was infectious and fun and we cannot thank Jove, Erin and the whole Jove Meyer Events team enough for being our «wedding fairy godplanners!» In all seriousness, I felt like Cinderella!!! They also kept a sense of humor and a cool head throughout the whole process. Seriously, Jove Meyer Events are magicians. IF you are even thinking about wedding coordination services — hire them now!

Hiring Jove as our Day of Coordinator was the best money spent at our wedding. He was professional, friendly, punctual and great with the vendors. Most importantly we didn’t have to worry about anything on the wedding day because Jove and his assistant were coordinating it all. Importantly, Jove doesn’t project the image of a busy, nervous stage manager — instead he portrays a calm demeanor and confidence. This is what you want in the person managing your wedding. I highly recommend getting a coordinator and I highly recommend Jove to be that person.

Jove was one of the main reasons that our wedding went off without a single hitch. He was there every single step of the way on the day of the wedding and he was instrumental in keeping everyone organized in the month leading up to the big day.
His team is professional and is there to make sure everything falls into place and troubleshoot accordingly. Jove is very creative and has a particular eye for detail. His suggestions and guidance really made our wedding come alive in a way that wouldn’t have been possible without his expertise.
He was a true joy to work with and I can’t recommend him highly enough for any type of event. I know that I’ll definitely be tapping him again for future events.

Jove is amazing. I hired him as my Month of coordinator. He was responsive all the time, and handled everything the came up. He made sure everything ran smoothly and was fantastic! His assistant, marlyis was also great, she made sure our transportation rAn smooth (even when our drivers sucked). I would highly recommend him.

One of the best decisions we made during our planning process was hiring Jove Meyer to be our day-​of coordinator for our wedding at The Bell House. Jove was recommended to us by our caterer after we decided we would need an extra hand the day of the wedding. Jove ended up contributing in a million different ways and in our view, our wedding day could not have gone more perfectly, or exceeded our expectations more (we say this knowing that Jove was probably handling every and any glitch flawlessly in the background with ease and charm without us ever worrying about a thing).
We both work in production and thought we had our DIY wedding on lock, but as the month approached, we quickly realized there were so many things about weddings we did not understand and things about the day that seemed huge and overwhelming. During the planning process Jove was invaluable with his feedback, encouraging us along the way. The day of the wedding, Jove ran every single element with complete perfection and ease. He also had unbelievable last minute creative input (we had spent hours making décor that would only be displayed during the reception and he had the brilliant idea to showcase the décor during the ceremony, adding tremendously to the overall feel of the ceremony).
The day was seamless, thanks to Jove. On top of that, we just really liked him from the start, which made us that much more excited to have him be a part of our wedding day. We also trusted him implicitly, both personally and artistically, which let us relax and focus on the people at the wedding instead of the nuts and bolts that go into it. Jove provides a service which is invaluable and necessary, but he brings himself to the job in an amazingly honest, fun and comfortable way. Thank you, Jove, for making it possible for us to enjoy what was truly the best day of our lives!

An absolutely critical part of my wedding at the Bell House in Brooklyn, NY. Jove handled family, friends, decorations, the weather, the THREE bands, the DJ and a massive surprise from my groomsman and I to my bride with utter aplomb. I can’t recommend him enough.

It is the day after my beautiful New Year’s Eve wedding, and I can’t recommend Jove Meyer strongly enough. When I first met Jove, the caterer we had intended to use had just backed out with only 6 weeks to go. Instead of worrying and fretting, he made me feel relaxed and didn’t blame me for the predicament that I was in. And that is ultimately what I knew I needed for my big day. Someone who knows how to roll with the punches, operate under pressure… and someone who would support me and not bring any negative energy to the table.
When I ultimately found a new caterer, the captain had worked with Jove before and spoke very highly of him. She had seen him operate under pressure and complimented me on choosing him to be my day-​of planner.
He looked adorable for the wedding in a very cute polka dot bow tie and managed the evening without it ever feeling stressful. The night went off without a hitch and I had so many compliments from my guests. I have a lot of respect for the job that he has to do – from managing an array of personalities to creating precise floor plans to organizing the vendors. Jove will help you and respond to your every question and concern – he is the perfect ally to have by your side so you can enjoy your special day.

Jove Meyer was a wreck as coordinator for my recent wedding in Brooklyn. He never showed a grasp of his responsibilities, and his work ended up far short of that promised. He acted indiscreetly throughout the night — by posting wedding photos from his phone to Twitter and Instagram (when he should have been working) and by eating, drinking and packing boxes in front of guests. And after the wedding, he wrote off our emailed complaints as a «major misunderstanding,» rather than give us the courtesy of owning up to his missteps — that is what we expect from a professional.
My wife and I came to know a different person from the one who receives many positive reviews on wedding sites. Once hired, Jove consistently gave our wedding low priority. He arrived 45 minutes late to our key planning meeting, without a text or email. When pressed, he whined he had come by mass transit from a far off event. Really? You’re an event planner — figure it out. We had to beg him to meet again around his other clients; he simply did not voice concern for the many items we had left to cover. He did not even attend our wedding rehearsal, as he had another wedding the day before ours.
Jove was a flat out disaster on wedding day. He missed our family photos, a service he includes in his website’s Day of Coordinator package. As a result, the photo sessions and associated travel were chaotic. He grossly underestimated the time and labor required to load and unload décor, thereby cutting into his other obligations and obliging us to dispatch relatives to help him. My wife is an interior designer, and she meticulously reviewed her plans for the ceremony décor many times with Jove. She even prepared drawings and photo boards. But he still found a way to screw the décor up so badly that relatives scrambled to rearrange it just before the ceremony. I just don’t understand how design details can be over the head of a guy who claims to have five years experience as a wedding planner and prop stylist. The guy couldn’t even find a challah in Williamsburg — no joke. Our delivery never arrived, and he neglected to tell us until we asked him about it.
In short, Jove failed to fulfill the key promise of his website — to let the wedding couple «rest assured that details are in place and the event is being managed by a professional.» Some of Jove’s missteps cost us money; he failed to account for rented items (obliging us to pay a replacement fee) or to hold vendors to the schedule on which we’d agreed (obliging us to pay overtime). But the icing on the cake came the next morning. As we awoke, anxious to catch a honeymoon flight, we were greeted with three generic emails from Jove. He was asking for — get this — a review. Well, here it is.

Jove Meyer was the day-​of coordinator for our wedding, and I cannot speak highly enough of him. He was extremely communicative throughout the whole process and was a real pleasure to work with. On the wedding day he made everything run smoothly and I didn’t stress about a single thing. We gave him boxes of stuff to be arranged at the venue with minimal direction and he made it all look perfectly put together. His eye for detail and aesthetics is superb. We got married at a restaurant, and he worked with the staff to ensure that everything went according to plan. And at the end of the night he boxed up everything that we were going to take with us, so we didn’t have to think about it. I honestly don’t know what we would have done without him!

Jove is an amazing event planner. Our wedding was absolutely beautiful and a blast thanks to him. He made all of our crazy ideas for our wedding a reality. We wanted something different and he brought it all together without a hitch.
During the planning process he thinks of everything. He provides information and suggestions when you need them. He is your advocate when dealing with vendors. When visiting venues he asked questions that I would have never thought of.
We love Jove. If you are thinking of hiring a planner you should hire Jove!

Jove Meyers Events is a spectacular service that I would highly recommend to anyone. We hired Jove as a day of wedding coordinator but he was so much more than that. From our first meeting through the final moments of our wedding, Jove was 100% committed and his contributions were ever apparent. Our day went off without a hitch and we attribute much of this to Jove. Aside from his ability to coordinate, he is also a sweet and friendly person who was collaborative and always available to field questions and offer suggestions. Jove went above and beyond what we could have ever expected. We are so glad Jove was a part of our special day, it would not have been the same without him.

My daughter got married this past weekend. We hired Jove for the day of the wedding. I can’t say enough about how well everything went. Everyone was impressed with his professionalism and demeanor. He is a joy to work with.
The day of the wedding I got to the church and I found I had the marriage license in my hand and no clue were it went. I shoved it at Jove. The next time I saw the license it was on the altar being signed by my daughter and her husband. That moment alone was worth the investment. This was only one example of his invaluable work making my daughters vision for her wedding come to life.

Jove Meyer is an amazing event planner! As a pro in the business (I’m a caterer), I’m always so happy to recommend him to my clients. I know that anyone I send to him will be taken care of. Jove is just the kind of planner that every bride or groom or host wants — he is meticulous, thoughtful, approachable and lots of fun to be around. When you work with him you can tell that he really loves what he doing and he does a fantastic job.

I had heard about Jove 5 months before my wedding. I had already been planning for about 6 months and was completely stressed out. Although my husband is a caring person, and wanted to help, he had no idea about how to go about planning a wedding, which lead me to feel like I was alone in the whole wedding planning process. I shared this with a friend of mine and she had mentioned Jove to me. I called him thinking that I would simply inquire about the price, to my surprise, I was amazed at how from the moment I spoke with him on the phone I already felt as if much of my worries had lessened and I knew it was a go. Jove’s sensitivity, attention to detail, and reliable nature made him an amazing coordinator. I could speakabout aspects of the wedding to Jove that others wouldn’t understand.
On the day of the wedding, I was extremely overwhelmed emotionally and had a room full of supplies that needed to be setup at the wedding venue. Jove had a list with instructions of what I wanted, and he took full responsibility. I had thought I might have to help on the dayof the wedding, but when I had arrived at the venue, everything was set up perfectly as I had imagined. Jove is not only responsible, he has an ability to sense what his client is feeling, or if they are in need of something and would discreetly come over to see what it was. The fact that we could rely on someone for anything throughout the reception and knew that he would make it happen allowed us to relax and fully enjoy our day.
Looking back, I realize that Jove was one of the only people that really came through for me on the big day doing much more than we had expected. My husband, my family, friends, and I all agree that hiring Jove was, one of, if not the best decisions we made in planning our wedding.
