J. Lys Events is a full service, boutique event planning and consulting firm specializing in weddings, social affairs, corporate gatherings, and non-profit fundraisers.

Every event tells a story and presents an opportunity for our clients to express their individual personalities, creativity and style.

what we do.

At J. Lys Events, we pride ourselves on our personal and hands on approach. We offer full and partial planning, month-of coordination, as well as hourly consulting and we are always happy to tailor our services to your needs and budget.

FULL

PARTIAL

MONTH-OF

Full service includes it all. We begin working with you from the very beginning, searching for your venue, creating and managing a budget and timeline, crafting décor concepts, matching you with the best vendors for your day and much more. This also includes full coordination on the day-of your event.

You may already have your venue and some of your key vendors set but what about the rest? Partial planning is a great option if you still want to handle some planning aspects on your own, but need additional help. Together we will agree upon the amount of planning assistance needed, and a suitable timetable to begin working together.

You’ve planned the whole event but who will make sure everything goes according to plan on the day? JLE begins working with you 1-2 months prior to your event, once all of your vendors are contracted. We will liaise between your vendors and venue to ensure that all of the logistical aspects of your event are organized. We will create a detailed timeline for the day-of and make certain that your months of planning and hard work go off without a hitch.
