Jen House is WONDERFUL - She totally made my wedding :) I hired Jen about 2 months before our wedding and she totally pulled our wedding together. She coordinated everything with such ease and I didn't have to worry about a thing on the day of - we were seriously just able to enjoy everything that was going on. It was so nice to go through the day know that she and her team were on our side taking care of everything. She made the reception venue pull together and it was gorgeous. I wish we could do it again just to work with her :) I highly highly recommend using Jen and her team

Jen was great to work with. She worked every little detail of the wedding great. She captured our vision beautifully. She also did the flowers for the entire wedding and they were very remantic and so pretty. She was so easy to work with and made my life a lot easier.

proudmom posted 9/8/2011 Jen was a dream to work with, she was so organized and kept us on track. Weekly emails were helpful. Jen was our florist too, and her execution of our vision was better than we dreamed. She had lots of ideas we never even thought of. She was very familiar with our church and many venues for a reception. Her list of recommended vendors was amazing. I don't think we could have done anything better and will certainly use her again and recommend her to all our friends. A real joy to work with.

I was referred to Jen by one of my best friends, and now I'll certainly be paying the favor forward. I've recommended her to several of my friends so far and will continue to recommend her to anyone and everyone else! My Mom and I are both hyper-organized and we had more than a year to plan my wedding, so I initially didn't think we needed a wedding planner. However, when the big day is getting close there are so many details to worry about (not just fun details, but tedious ones, like calling vendors to confirm everything and getting tips together), and it was so nice to have Jen take care of that so we could focus on more important things. Jen also did all of my flowers-- I was a very "particular" bride in that I knew exactly what I wanted and could see it in my head. I did my best to explain it to Jen, but it was like she saw my vision before I even had the words out. When my new husband and I got to the reception venue and walked into the main room before anyone else was in there and I saw the vision come together, I was literally speechless. I couldn't believe someone could have taken all of my random pictures and inarticulate descriptions and actually SEEN what I wanted, then made it real. It was even better than I imagined. Jen's gift is that she listens and genuinely does her best to get inside each bride's head to give them exactly what they're envisioning. She's such a warm, open person which makes her great to work with (more like talking to an old friend that just happens to know everything there is to know about weddings) and her personality and incredible reputation are reflected in her extensive network of continuously-vetted vendors. She seems to know everyone and is completely straightforward when making recommendations. She's up-front about prices and never pressures you into anything more expensive than you want, is honest and realistic about what is and is not possible, and it is so reassuring knowing that she has everything under control and is a true professional. My wedding ended up being everything I could have wanted and it all happened seamlessly. Jen had a HUGE part in making that possible, and I can't thank her--or recommend her to others--enough!

Jen House and her team did an absolutely fabulous job at our recent wedding!!! We are EXTREMELY happy that we decided to work with AMIT. It was one of the best decisions that we made! Jen is a wedding expert - having her input along the way truly put our minds at ease about our special day. She helped guide us in the right direction and provided multiple vendor referrals that we would have never found searching on our own. We communicated our vision to Jen at a series of meetings and she made it become a gorgeous reality on our special day : ) Jen has fabulous taste and will always give you honest feedback (love getting real feedback instead of what I want to hear). Throughout our entire wedding reception Jen took great care of us and our family / friends. She consistently checked in with us throughout the evening and even brought us drinks! A few little things didn't go as expected on our wedding day, but no worries!! Jen and her super fabulous team quickly reacted and seamlessly resolved everything without us getting involved : ) She is such a professional! Everyone had nothing but great things to say about Jen and her team after our big day. We loved working with Jen House! Please do yourself a favor and book her services - you will not be disappointed!!!

A Moment in Time coordinated our wedding this July and they did a fabulous job! It was very comforting throughout the planning process and especially on the day of to have someone that we trusted and knew would take care of any problems if they arose! I was able to enjoy our day because I knew Jen and her staff had everything under control. She was extremely helpful during the planning process as well, giving us great vendor recommendations, helpful tips, and doing all of our floral decorations in addition to overseeing our day. If you are thinking about getting a wedding planner, DO IT and pick A Moment in TIme if you want a beautiful day!

I used Jen for florals and her and Kendall were amazing! Met with her in her office a few and she was very accomodating with scheduling and understood every detail I was interested in :) She was very hands on and included me in some last minute changes she made due to flowers not looking how she hoped. She was also amazing with her glassware rentals when she restocked her inventory shortly before my wedding with peices I was looking for. Day of was flawless and I couldnt be happier with how the team translated my vision LOVE LOVE LOVED it! Got many compliments from guests and would recomend her to anyone who would ask!

The decision to engage Jen at A Moment In Time was a pivotal one when planning our event. This decision took the Carmichael/Verdura wedding from good to GREAT! Jen and Kendell have a unique ability to make an anxious time very calming and exciting. You know you are in expert hands and you will seriously relax the minute you let them begin their magic. Words cannot express how grateful and thankful we were to have them on our team-they are winners....actually they are champions of the trade and we cannot imagine the day without them. Do yourself the best favor you could ever do and make the call....and pray their day is open!

Jen & Kendell did the most amazing job coordinating our wedding in June. Their professionalism, kindness & talent are unmatched. Jen's quick responses & help thru the entire planning process were simply amazing & the most helpful of any vendor we used. Kendell's day-of support created the flawless, perfect wedding that every girl dreams of! Hiring A Moment In Time is, without-a-doubt, THE best money we spent on the wedding. There is not a doubt in my mind that without their guidance, support & tips, we would not have had the same wedding experience. The ability to just enjoy your day, not worry about timing, vendors, payments, etc is completely worth it!!! I am/will forever recommend them to anyone! Jen also created the floral design for our wedding, which was simply stunning. We received SO many compliments on every aspect of the wedding which I know was a huge thanks to A Moment In Time! Thank you Jen & Kendell for everything -- you helped create & saw thru the best day of our lives!

We can't say enough about Jen House! Out of all of the numerous vendors that we worked with on our wedding, she was TRULY THE BEST!! She stays on top of everything and she always stayed one step ahead of us. We knew we could TRUST HER WITH ANYTHING and our biggest regret was not using her for as our florist. One of the best things about her is that she's happiest when you're happy. :) She'll do WHATEVER IT TAKES to make everything right. Jen House is the best money we've spent for our wedding! She's one of the most sweetest people we know and we consider her a wonderful friend for life! Kuddos Jen!

My husband and I live out of state and chose to have our wedding in Michigan. As someone who had been in more than seven weddings, and witnessed how stressed out a bride and groom can be, I knew that we had to have help. From the moment I first spoke with her I felt comfortable, and I was thrilled to hear about all of her affordable rate options. Jen guided us through choosing venues and vendors, used her connections to get us the best deals, helped us stay within our budget, kept us on task, stayed connected to our vendors, and on our wedding day, she and her staff handled every possible problem efficiently. Her staff also made sure that my husband and I had everything we needed to have a good time during our ceremony! She also did the floral arrangements, and they were gorgeous, and perfect for the space! Our wedding was so much fun, and it couldn\'t have gone better!

I hired Jen as my day of coordinator because were getting married in Michigan and we currently live in Virginia. I thought it would be helpful to have someone there coordinating since I was out of state. That being said, I would hire her in an instant even if I lived in Michigan. She helped me by providing vendor lists, spoke with me several times before our wedding day, and was always responsive to emails. She really just makes you feel at ease about everything as soon as you speak with her. Her and Kendell were AMAZING (I wish I was able to underline that 5 times in this review) the day of our wedding. Their organization and execution of everything was perfect. They are also just extremely nice and easy to work with. I didn't have to worry about a single thing the entire evening. They also brought me drinks throughout the night when I needed them, which was an extra bonus. My now husband, father, in-laws, and really everyone was just overly impressed with them. I kept telling people that I wished they were in my life all the time to keep me on track! We also had Jen design our flowers, and they were beautiful! I gave her a few ideas when we met and it turned out better than I imagined. Everyone was raving about our centerpieces, bouquets, and overall floral decor. Jen's services were worth much more than we paid her (in my opinion) and I would not hesitate to hire her for your event. I highly recommend A Moment in Time.

After I booked all my vendors for my wedding-photographer, florist, venue, lighting, etc. etc. I realized that I would not be able to coordinate eveyone and everything on the day of my wedding, so I hired A Moment in Time Wedding Plannning as "day of coordinators". Jen House and Kendall Goddard are fantastic at what they do! They really take control of everything the week before-contacting vendors arranging delievery times etc. etc., organize the rehearsal, and take control of all coordination on the day of the wedding. I had a few issues arise at the wedding and Kendall handled them very professionally. As far as my guests knew, the wedding went off without a hitch! The best part of hiring AMIT is that I was really able to enjoy my day with my family and friends! I highly recommend AMIT.

Not only did A Moment in Time provide us with tremendous discounts through their vendor connections, but it also provided us with the most important thing when planning a wedding: peace of mind! I can't say enough about the professionalism and care with which Jen House and her employees handle the whole process of wedding planning. I would highly recommend A Moment in Time to anyone planning a wedding or other high profile event!

Jen, We can't say "Thank You" enough! Our wedding was just perfect!!! Everything right down to the last detail was exactly what we wanted and because of you we could sit back and enjoy every bit of the day with our family and friends. The flower arrangements were just gorgeous and you were able to turn a challenging reception room into an elegant and glowing affair. People would always tell us that our wedding day would go by so quickly and that we would not remember a thing, because we knew you were taking care of everything (and you did with ease) we remember every last detail of the day and it was just wonderful! A big thank you to Julie Kluck as well, she was always there with a smiling face to help out and put things in order. Thank you again for making this a wedding of a lifetime for us. Both of our families are still raving about this spectacular day. We could not have done this without you! If only we could get you to come to DC and plan some parties for us here...... Marie and David Bloomfield

I can't say enough good things about Jen House at AMIT. But thinking back to what brides actually care about and want to hear, I'll just say: 1) she is extremely affordable (she could charge so much more for what she does, but the fact that she doesn't just speaks to how much she loves her job!), 2) she is fantastic to work with (she's the perfect balance of professional and friendly, she always keeps a cool head and puts things in perspective), 3) she is great at what she does (she's very oragnized and has fantastic resources at her disposal, she listens to what you want and knows how to deliver, but also brings incredibly creative ideas to the table). I loved working with her and would recommend her to everyone, in fact, I already do :)

EVERY METRO DETROIT BRIDE NEEDS TO FIND A WAY TO HIRE JEN HOUSE! She is THE best decision we made in our wedding planning process. Simply put, Jen House is AMAZING! She was seriously my wedding savior who delivered me the most BEAUTIFUL wedding I could've imagined. She is so professional, yet completely down to earth. I was SO impressed by her quick responses to emails and loved her weekly "Top 5" Emails with awesome wedding tips she would send to her clients. Jen really went above and beyond to deliver us the wedding day of our dreams and I do not believe things would've been as beautiful and go as smoothly without her and her team. She was also our florist and all I can say is WOW. Our flowers were GORGEOUS. I am talking jaw-dropping gorgeous here people. Our guests commented on them ALL night. Again, Jen went above and beyond to ensure I was happy with the product---3 days before the wedding she emailed me a picture of some of the flowers for my bouquet to make sure I was ok with the color of the pink they were, as they bloomed brighter than expected (they were stunning). Seriously, what other florist would take the time to do that??!! NONE. Her prices are great for both coordination services and floral design. Especially considering the level of detail and attention you will receive. I promise you Jen is the best money you can spend on your wedding. Having her there the day of alone is worth every penny. She is a coordinator and florist who is really on your side and wants to deliver you your dream wedding. For me, that was priceless.

My "Moment in Time" was May 8, 2010 with 300 of our closest friends and family. "A Moment In Time" provided my day of coordination and floral design. However, they did a lot more than provide those things. They provided peace of mind, allowed me to maintain my sanity, and created a magical day for us. These things were priceless. I contacted Jen halfway through my wedding planning process. I knew what I wanted my wedding to be but I needed someone to execute it. I worked full-time and surely didn’t have the oodles of hours needed to pull off a wedding extravaganza in 8 months. I needed someone that I could trust to pay attention to all the details as if it were their own wedding. I found that in Jen and her staff. From the moment I met her, I knew she was the one for us. She was passionate, attentive, organized, and an absolute pleasure to work with. It was the little things that made the difference -- her weekly tips and suggestions, her caring spirit that was always there when I felt lost making decisions, and their attention to every detail of the wedding. A few days before my wedding, I handed over all of my stuff to them with confidence. I knew it was going to be taken care of and perfect the wedding day. Sure enough, it was. That day would not have been the same without them. Let's talk about floral design -- my flowers were gorgeous, affordable, and unique. Honestly, people were begging to take the flowers home after the wedding because they were so beautiful. I had tall centerpieces, short centerpieces, bouquets, boutonnières, carnation balls, side flower arrangements -- you name it, they did it! Each design was special, elegant, and created this amazing mood in the room. It was breathtaking. I know this review is long, but there are so many wonderful things that need to be said about Jen and her staff. They were my extended family for our wedding and will continue to hold a special place in my heart every time I think back to May 8, 2010. From their reassuring smiles before I walked down the aisle to their dedicated professionalism throughout the day, they proved they are the best of the best at creating "A Moment In Time" that you will never forget.
