Jeff Stillwell truly helped us turn our wedding dreams into a reality. He came into our wedding planning process to help us coordinate our vendors and create the perfect timeline for our wedding day. He also has an amazing eye for how the room should look and worked with our florist to ensure the room was designed in a classy, elegant, and beautiful way. I can honestly say our wedding day was perfect, and that was a big part because of Jeff. He motivated the vendors to be their best and kept the day running smoothly and on time.
Not only is Jeff an A+ planner, he is one of the nicest guys in the world! He was always there to check in on my husband and I, and we built a true friendship with him. We are so lucky that he came into our lives and we look forward to continuing our relationship for years to come! It was an honor to work with you, Jeff. Thanks for being there to ensure our wedding day was the best day of our lives. -

I highly recommend Jeff Stillwell for a wedding coordinator. I hired him sort of last minute, about 2 months before my wedding, when I started realizing the multitude of decisions to be made & details to organize leading up to the wedding. Jeff thinks of all the small things that you wouldn’t even think of! He cares about the details. He is calm and reliable, his years of experience speak volumes. He communicated effortlessly with our venue. He talked to vendors for me when I was too busy and expressed concerns for me. He helped me make decisions about what was important when trying to stick with my budget. He called in a favor with a vendor when I decided to add a string quartet 2 weeks before my wedding. He is well connected and knows lots of people in the industry! Even after the wedding I would hear from family members & bridal party members little things he did throughout the day!! He was flexible and able to help us easily manage our wedding day timeline when certain aspects took longer than expected. Most importantly, he felt like a friend to me on my wedding day! When I got upset about something he calmed me down. He helped me navigate all the awkward family dynamics. He bustled my dress, brought me food, helped me figure out how to wear my veil!! My family loved him. I can’t say enough good things!! -

I’m not even sure where to begin thanking Jeffery and his team (Sylvia) for the amazing work that they did for my husband and I for our wedding at my parents country home this summer. There were so many moving parts and details which they absolutely nailed. It was just amazing, he’s and absolute maestro!
My husband and I have had the privilege for working for one of NYC’s premier catering companies for years, and that is where we met Jeff. Since his departure with the company he has been shining creating some of the most remarkable and memorable events for others, when I was ready to plan my own I couldn’t think of anyone else who would help make my special day as perfect as he did. I’m so thankful that I called him because there was no way I could have pulled it off without him.
His vision, attention to detail, ability to have all the vendors work together is like nothing I’ve ever seen. For example, we originally were planning to have a buffet outside, when all the guest were seated it started pouring. Jeff and his team with the help of the caterers seamlessly pulled together a family style service while speeches were commencing. Most of the guest didn’t even know that 1. It rained or 2. It was supposed to be a buffet and not family style. Once dinner was over it was clear skies and the party continued! I like to think Jeff planned that as well!
Jeff is assertive and makes sure that your vision is brought out to its fullest capacity. He makes sure all of the details are taken care of and just when you think that its stressful and there’s too much weight on your shoulders he quickly assures you and helps calm you and works hard at taking away tasks which may burden you. I’m beyond thankful for having him perfect my wedding and blessed to call him a friend!

Michelle Sent on 12/22/2018High quality, flexible, detail-oriented, great heart
This coming from a very picky bride with a background in events and very high standards, you want Jeff by your side leading up to your big day. He has a wide array of trustworthy vendors he's worked with for years that you can tap into, he has experience on the service side of things plus the event side, and he will fight for your vision every step of the way. His team of assistants help make sure no detail is forgotten and his reputation in the industry means he can pull some strings for you here and there, whether its a friends and family discount or a favor. I used Stillwell Events for my wedding and couldnt have been happier! -
Robert Sent on 01/30/2018I confess that I was originally against the idea of hiring a wedding planner, thinking it a waste of money -- and that we could handle everything by ourselves. My bride-to-be insisted and, after much research, and having been given a superb recommendation for Jeff Stillwell, we asked him to help us. It proved to be the best decision we made in connection with our wedding. From the very outset, Jeff was with us each and every step of the way. I mean physically: he was actually there in person! We sat down together and talked through the exact needs for a successful wedding and subsequent fête, and it turned out there were myriad matters we hadn't even thought of. He assisted us with our invitations, our flowers, our choice of menu, our choice of photographer, our DJ, the layout of the venues for the ceremony and dinner&dance, gratuities and countless other things. Needless to relate, we would never had had the time or energy to address all of these tasks, and certainly not with the quiet expertise exhibited by Jeff. The man never got rattled, no matter the madness taking place all around us! He had a timeline drawn up far in advance of the day, and as it was updated he provided us with the new versions. Most importantly, when, as expected, things weren't going exactly according to the plan on the day, he calmly made adjustments of which we weren't even aware, and got things back on track, running smoothly. What you want is a person who will assist in the planning and then transform your hopes and wishes into reality with a minimum of fuss. Jeff was that person for us. The perfect general under fire. What's more, on the evening, while directing the entire operation, he made himself perfectly invisible. In the weeks prior to the wedding Jeff was always available in one way or another, and never troubled by our many emails and calls. Absolutely unflappable. We made the decision early on to place our complete confidence in him, and he made good on all of his promises.
