Busy Bride Planning + Consulting

Wedding Planner

I have been a planner for as long as I can remember. As a child, I created detailed itineraries for family vacations, reunions, and birthday parties. As I grew older, friends and neighbors began requesting my assistance with their own events. Even after a detour to law school, I naturally veered toward my planning sensibilities and joined a Manhattan law firm where I advised clients in estate planning.

But it wasn’t until I began planning my own wedding that I realized my obssession with all things wedding-related. I enjoyed negotiating with venues and vendors to obtain the best prices for my husband and me. I delighted in researching every little detail and moment of the wedding, and then preparing a timeline and master plan to bring it all together. In the end, I planned a fairytale wedding that I was honored to have featured in Manhattan Bride magazine. Read more

    After interviewing several wedding planners, we made the decision to hire Jackie, and I can honestly say she is worth every penny. We went with her full planning service package, and worked with her over 16 months. Nothing fazes her — we changed our plan from an at-home wedding in CT to using a venue in Manhattan, and it was no issue. She is incredibly responsive, and replied to my many, many emails in a timely manner. She helped us secure ideal vendors, kept us on track with our planning tasks, and put together an incredible day-of timeline. ...

    Jackie is incredible and working with her was not only the BEST decision we made throughout our entire wedding planning process, but it was also the most WONDERFUL experience. She is so kind, very smart, extremely thoughtful and truly amazing at what she does. From the moment our "final countdown" began, Jackie made us feel like we were her top priority. She responded happily and in great detail to literally every email I sent her (and trust me, there were A TON), ...

    From our first meeting with Jackie, we were struck with her attention to detail and professionalism. In addition to that, she has such an upbeat personality and is a joy to be with. She genuinely wants your wedding to be special and stress free.

    We used Jackie's a la carte vender search service to find our ceremony/reception venue. She found us beautiful venues that fit within our budget and worked for the vision we had of our wedding. I have to give Jackie a ton of props because when we started our venue search we really had no set vision and knew very little about each other's preferences for the wedding day. ...

    My husband and I cannot say enough amazing things about Jackie Travers and her team! She is worth her ten times her weight in gold and her services should be ten times the price that they are! This woman is an absolute superhero! We used Jackie's extended countdown services for help planning and coordinating the 12 weeks before our wedding and it was the absolute best thing we ever could have done! ...

    Do yourself a favor and hire Jackie! We were planning our NYC wedding from abroad and hired Jackie for final countdown services. My only regret is that we didn't hire her sooner to plan the whole wedding! Jackie was a complete pleasure to work with, she kept us on track, coordinated with all of our vendors and made sure that no detail was overlooked. Throughout the planning process she was always thinking ahead to make sure that we were prepared and in great shape by the wedding day including with so many details that we never would have thought of. ...
