Blue Llama Events

If you are looking for someone who was born to plan a seamless, gorgeous wedding, you NEED Jean! My husband and I had a rocky start to planning our big day, but Jean saved the wedding from being a mess. It speaks volumes when Jean and her team were able to turn a stressful situation into the wedding of our dreams in a matter of a few short months. She was incredibly attentive, flexible, and calm whenever we needed her. Our only regret is that we didn't find her sooner. My husband and I had an Indian fusion wedding, so Jean and her team were aware of the various cultural elements we needed to incorporate into our events. On top of that, we did a destination wedding in the Dominican Republic. Our wedding was a challenge to plan in many ways, but Jean and her team are so experienced and professional that they knew exactly what to do. They made it seem like a breeze! Blue Llama Events is the best wedding money you will ever spend, and you'll be so glad to have Jean and her team in your corner! We already miss our Zoom calls with her!

We were so thankful to have collaborated with Jean on Komal and Gurpreet’s wedding. There were many unknown details when we first started planning the logistics, and Jean did an excellent job bridging communication between vendors to ensure everything came together smoothly. She truly excels at handling logistics and vendor coordination. We would be happy to collaborate with Blue Llama Events anytime.

We would recommend contacting Blue Llama Events for any of your event planning needs in the Midwest! We had a wonderful wedding planning experience with Blue Llama Events (Jean Rivers and her team)! Jean and her team were always responsive, organized and provided invaluable insight and recommendations as we planned our wedding from a distance (we live in Seattle). With Jean’s expertise and guidance, we were able to plan a beautiful Hindu wedding ceremony at the Indiana Statehouse, a wedding reception at the Eiteljorg Museum, and a welcome dinner/mehendi event at the Westin Hotel. Jean is very solution oriented and was always so calm and positive – there’s not much more you can ask for from a wedding planner!

Our wedding weekend was flawless and we cannot thank Jean and the Blue Llama team enough for making sure everything was taken care of and went extremely smoothly. She was there every step of the way, and extremely detail-oriented — even making sure things that weren’t even on our mind were handled. We have really enjoyed working with Blue Llama and seeing how they were able to bring all of our and our families’ random ideas to life! We will be sure to recommend Blue Llama to all of our friends!

Jean and her team are amazing at what they do. We had an Indian and American fusion wedding. She took the ideas I had and turned it in to a fairytale wedding. Of course with every wedding, there is going to be issues. Our photographer got covid 2 days before the wedding and she took care of the issue so we did not stress. She had all the contacts for vendors, she booked everything, sent out invitations, got permits for the baraat, arranged details with photographers, and basically created a beautiful wedding that not only my husband and I will never forget, but neither will the guests forget. And she knew more about Indian weddings than I did! She is so professional but also she became my friend in the end. I’m so grateful for Jean and her team!

Where to begin.. Jean and her team are one of a kind. We hired Jean right from the beginning and were always in contact with her for the 1.5 yrs of planning! She was the point of contact for our venders, set up meetings with them, and handled EVERYTHING the day of the wedding. I didn’t have to worry about anything but enjoying my wedding day, which is something not a lot of people get to do. Her team helped set up the decorations, take them down, and pack them into my families car. We had our dogs in our wedding and her team even brought treats to help distract them when needed. Yes hiring a wedding planner is an investment, but you will not go wrong with Blue Llama Events. 100% recommend to a friend. Thanks so much Jean!(:

I want to give Jean Rivers and her team a shout out! They were the wedding coordinator for my daughter’s wedding a couple of weeks ago. I must say on the day of the wedding from the moment I took a shower to get cleaned up and until the end of the evening I didn’t worry about a thing and was able to enjoy myself completely! I knew that Jean and her team was covering what needed to be done! My daughter was very much at ease and was able to enjoy her wedding day without fretting over details! Thank you so much Jean to you and your team for taking care of those details, and for helping to make it the day of my daughter’s dreams!!!
