Flawless from Start to Finish – J2R Events Made It All Happen! Akanksha and Kartik’s wedding was a stunning, joy-filled celebration—and so much of that is thanks to the incredible Jalpa at J2R Events. As the photographer, I saw firsthand how smoothly everything ran and how beautifully every detail came together. That’s the magic of a great planner! From the moment I arrived, J2R was on top of every detail—checking in with vendors, keeping the timeline moving, and making sure the couple could truly enjoy their day stress-free. They were calm, kind, and so organized. Honestly, Jalpa was the glue that held everything together. Visually, the day was gorgeous. Logistically, it was seamless. And emotionally, it was full of joy, all because the couple could fully be present. That’s what great planning does. If you’re looking for a wedding planner who’s professional, warm, and a total pro at pulling off meaningful, memorable weddings—J2R Events is the team you want. – Bozena Voytko Photography

A huge thank you to our head planner Rumi Shah and the entire J2R team enough for the incredible work they did in bringing our wedding vision to life. From start to finish, they were organized, attentive, and incredibly thoughtful in every detail. We had multiple events, each with its own vibe and style, and somehow they made each one feel seamless, personal, and absolutely unforgettable.

Rumi took the time to get to know us—not just as a couple, but as a family. She made it a point to learn who our immediate family members were, and ensured that the people we wanted closest to us were always present during the most meaningful moments. That level of attention meant everything to us.

On the day of, it seemed that Rumi was prepared for anything and was always one step ahead. Whether it was hemming the groom’s pants or fixing the bride’s jewelry right before walking down the aisle, figuring out how to tie a bowtie, or sending food up to our room to make sure we ate—she thought of everything. Rumi came up with an umbrella veil contraption to keep the bride hidden as we moved through the hotel. She even captured a moment on her phone when we unexpectedly caught a glimpse of each other during the Baraat. It’s these little moments that made it clear that this was not just a job but that she was excited to celebrate us and make our day unforgettable.

The J2R team was equally amazing—professional, responsive, and always a step ahead. Every detail was executed flawlessly, from decor and logistics to timelines and vendor coordination. We were able to fully enjoy our celebrations knowing everything was in the best hands. We can’t recommend Rumi and J2R highly enough. Thank you for making our special moments truly magical!

Working with Jalpa as our lead planner was hands down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! From our very first meeting to the big day and various wedding events, she brought a high level of professionalism, creativity, and care that exceeded all our expectations.

Our wedding was a traditional Gujarati celebration, and Jalpa truly went above and beyond to ensure every cultural detail was honored and seamlessly executed. Whether it was coordinating the intricate ceremonies, managing the tight timelines, or balancing the needs of multiple vendors, Jalpa and J2R handled everything with such grace and precision.

What stood out the most was her ability to turn our vision into reality. The decor was stunning, the logistics were flawless, and the energy throughout the weekend was joyful and stress-free—all thanks to Jalpa and the incredible team. One thing about Jalpa we loved was she was always a step ahead, offering solutions before we even realized we needed them.

We received so many compliments from our family members and guests about how well-organized and beautiful the wedding was, and we owe it all to Jalpa. If you’re looking for someone who is detail-oriented, creative, and genuinely passionate about making your wedding unforgettable, look no further! Everyone needs a Jalpa in their life!

Thank you, Jalpa and J2R, for giving us the wedding of our dreams. We couldn’t have done it without you!

We had our wedding in August 2024 and signed Rumi as our head planner in July 2023! We only have positive things to say about her and our experience with the J2r teams. From vendor selection, to venues, to food tasting and decor design sessions. Rumi was there with us every single step away. She had meetings with us on a weekly basis and was great with our parents who joined all meetings!! She was so insightful and had the best advice through the entire process and always had the best recommendations based on our taste!! She really took the stress out of wedding planning and took the burden on herself. The week of the wedding was incredible. Our families were able to be in the moment and had the best time because she took over and ran the events with her team !! Tarak and Jiya really took care of us - Rumi and the team made sure we ate and tried all the food, helped me go to the bathroom in my dress, fixed my makeup, put my veil on, held my lip gloss and jewelry, made sure we got all the pictures, made sure all family members were in the right place and having fun, made sure we got to dance ! Because of them we had so much fun at every single event! I truly can’t thank them enough!! Our wedding would not have been possible without them

We hired J2R Events for full-service planning for our August 2024, and we worked with Jalpa as our lead planner. We couldn't have asked for a better wedding planner! Throughout our wedding weekend, she was an absolute rock star. From keeping everything on time to making sure everyone was in place, she ensured the entire event went off without a hitch. Her attention to detail and ability to anticipate our needs made all the difference. We got so many compliments from guests about how well things went and how every detail was thought through.

She was incredibly supportive of my us, especially during such an important moment in our lives. Not only did she manage the logistics flawlessly, but she also went the extra mile, literally—driving us to different destinations to make sure we stayed on schedule.

One of the standout qualities was how gracefully she handled the family dynamics. She approached everything with such care and professionalism, making sure everyone felt comfortable and included. It truly helped keep the atmosphere calm and enjoyable.

If you're looking for someone who can balance logistics and bringing your vision to reality as well as thoughtful care, we highly recommend J2R Events!
