Thanks to the wedding industry (and our conversations over pasta), I've had the privilege of meeting Candace many years ago. Over these years, I've seen Candace devote herself to everything she's passionate about - family, friends, work, fitness. No matter what she takes on, she takes it on full force and does it with dedication. That's why hiring JPC Event Coordination for your event should be the next step in the planning process. Allow Candace to devote herself to YOU.

JPC has now coordinated 4 huge events for me within the last year & every time, it somehow gets better than the last. Candace & her team are amazing. I couldn’t recommend JPC event coordination any more. If you’re thinking about hiring them, DO IT. I promise you won’t regret it!

-Alexis

Candace is wonderful. We had a small event 50 people for our 40th anniversary and vow renewal. Candace made it so special. She took my thoughts and brought them to life. From helping pick a venue to the tablescapes to getting me ready everything was perfect. She took such care in everything and made me feel so special. She definitely went above and beyond!!

-Vita P.

I can’t recommend Candace enough! I was on the fence of hiring a day of coordinator as it was a backyard wedding with right around 100 guests, i am beyond thankful that i hired JPC!! From the start Candace was on it, i believe the first phone call we went over details and by the time i woke up the next morning i had an email full of decor ideas that matched the vibe perfectly. We had several in person meetings, phone calls, texting back and forth ideas i thought of at any time of day! Coming to the rehersal dinner she got the group to focus (tough crowd of 24 year olds lol) and the rehersal went smooth got the game plan for wedding day and she was back in a few hours to start decorating! My wedding day would not of been as perfect as it was without JPC! From decor to scheduling to keeping everyone on task, dealing with vendors, and mainly keeping me away from coming outside to try and help lol! I had so many compliments on my wedding and how gorgeous it was and i owe it all the Candace! She did such an amazing job my bridesmaid who will now be the bride this time is so sad Candace is already booked for her Wedding day!

-Meredith B.

Candace was incredible! From the moment she arrived on my wedding day she did everything she could to make the day smooth and beautiful and easy for us. There were so many details, big and small, that she managed, and she could anticipate my needs even before I remembered they needed to get done. She did everything with kindness and so much professionalism. I seriously wouldn’t have been able to have the day be as beautiful as it was without her. Here are some pictures of the centerpieces she set up for me!! I would recommend her again and again. Thank you Candace!

I was looking for a company to help me with my husbands surprise 40th birthday party and I found JPC through a Facebook group. I’m so glad I did because working with Candace was a great experience from beginning to end. Her communication was always very timely, she had great ideas to help with the party, and items available to rent. The event was executed seamlessly and my husband was surprised. The night was a complete success and I couldn’t have done it without JPC!

-Jennifer R.

12 days… that’s the amount of time Candace had. That’s when I realized I was getting overwhelmed and honestly felt like I was in over my head. My husband was planning my 40th birthday party and it just seemed like there was a lot of little things to do and so very little time. I mentioned we were doing an 80’s themed party and Candace took over and told me the day of to go home and relax and get ready. It was so nice to not have to stress about anything and she did such a fabulous job. Everuthing was absolutely beautiful! Every table had a different game or theme from the 80’s and the lighting was perfect! It was the best time! Candace is a life saver and everything went so
Smoothly. Will use her for every event!!! Thank you so much!!

-S. Bangle

I contacted Candace for assistance with my son’s bar mitzvah as a stressed out working mom and she completely settled me and delivered on her promise. Candace really took all the stress of event planning away from me and created exactly the theme and vision we were looking for. She is professional, attentive to details, motivate, but best of all she is so talented and passionate. Anytime I had a question, she would respond in a timely manner and kept me informed. She took our ideas and brought them to life. My son’s bar mitzvah was amazing, and I have Candace to thank for.

Thank you so much for making my sons bar mitzvah so beautiful!

-L. Cagle

5/5 Would do an event with them again! They were super professional, they did a lovely job! Above and beyond what we were expecting! Pictures from our photographer will be sent to us soon and I'll add them to this review! Excellent from start to finish!

-A. Brandhorst, EuroImmun

Don't walk, RUN to Candace as soon as you start wedding planning. I found Candace in a desperate time of need when my original day-of coordination fell through 2 weeks before my wedding. We spoke over the phone, and I immediately knew I was hiring her. Within 24 hours, she pulled together a comprehensive day-of timeline and got herself up to speed as if we had been working together for 6 months. I'm the type of bride who tries to take everything on herself and Candace consistently reminded me to let go and be present. On the day of, she picked up/dropped off brunch for my bridal party, decorated our cake with florals, helped us bustle my dress, and gosh, I'm sure so much more that I didn't have to know about because she made sure I relaxed and had the time of my life. If I were to do it all again, Candace would have been my first call.

-A. Featherstone

Where do I even begin? I came to Candace as a stressed-out, indecisive bride who needed a day-of coordinator for my church wedding, and I left with a top-notch coordinator who also took over planning all my decorations for the church and reception venue. On our first consultation call, I knew she was the one for us. She took the time to ask questions to get to know me and learn about our love story. Our first call was probably 45 minutes and by the end of the call Candace felt like one of my girlfriends. At no point in the process did I feel like Candace was trying to sell me anything; she genuinely cared about what I wanted and wanted to make sure I was happy. I am absolutely obsessed with how all my centerpieces and decorations turned out. If you are looking for someone who genuinely cares about making you happy and will go above and beyond, Candace is the one.

-S. Arbuckle

The party was amazing! Thanks so much for all of your help. Candace, you are so incredibly creative and I was really lucky to have found you. 

I will recommend you to everybody!!! You are definitely not done with me and I am not done with you--more to come when my son graduates! my daughter said that several of the kids came up to her and told her that this was the best organized party that they had been to!!!

You did an amazing job and you worked so hard! I am truly grateful

-P. Gor (Mother of the Graduate)

They were the best to work with to plan our wedding of 250 people; over 9 vendors; and more. It was a beautifully decorated and managed event - and any hiccups were quickly tended to.

we will absolutely use JPC for any and all event planning needs!!! Highly recommend!!

-Krystin G. (Bride)

JPC came to spice up my balloon arch for my gender reveal over the weekend & let me just say.. my expectations were exceeded. Every time I think JPC can't get any better, they do. JPC has now coordinated three big events for me (bridal shower, wedding, & gender reveal) & each time blows me away. I reached out to the owner, Candace to tell her my thoughts & ideas & not only did she listen & deliver, but she created something even better than what I could've imagined. I got so many compliments on the back drop & I couldn't have been happier. I will definitely be hiring JPC for my baby shower & all future events. JPC is worth every penny, you will not regret hiring them!

-Eric & Lexie W,

Candace was so wonderful to work with on our wedding. She listened to what we wanted and delivered above and beyond. She worked seemlessly with the staff and made sure we had everything we needed before we even knew we needed it. She was such a pleasure to work with and I would recommend her for any event you may be planning. So professional but down to earth. Loved the entire experience.

-Gail C. (Bride)

Candace went above and beyond expectations for my daughter’s bridal shower! She has such talent and works to make each event unique, creative, and beautiful. We will have fond memories of this special day thanks to Candace and JPC Event Coordination! I highly recommend!

-Jen G. (Mother of the Bride)

Candace was great! She was the best wedding planner I could ask for, we had a backyard wedding and she did everything for us and more. Everything was set up perfect and I had the most perfect No stress wedding. I was able enjoy myself on my wedding day. She took care of me and my husband, she brought us our appetizers and dinner. If I didn’t have her as a wedding coordinator I would be lost and have so much stress and have to do everything myself. Candace helps with lining up for the ceremony and always asks you what you want for your wedding day and how you want to do it and she follows that. I couldn’t be more happier with my wedding and for all her help. Highly highly recommend her as a a wedding planner

-Cassidy C. (Bride)

Candace/JPC Event Coordination made my granddaughters Sweet 16 a huge success! From the set up, decorations, lighting, keeping the evening running smoothly and coordinating with the food server and dj was very professional! Couldn't have been better. Call her and set up your event, you won't be dissapointed!! "5* out of 5"

-Linda F.

."I worked with Candace many years ago when we were young and I recently worked with her again on a wedding for our good friend. I worked in the hospitality business as a maitred/event coordinator for almost 16 years and I can honestly say Candace is the absolute best in the business! Her attention to detail, relationships with vendors, and her execution of any event big or small is nothing short of phenomenal. If you want someone who can bring your vision to life and give you the best party experience you’ve ever had DO NOT HESITATE TO CALL JPC EVENT COORDINATION!!!"

-S. Loomis

."It's my absolute pleasure to recommend Candace Estep. I came to know Candace when I was a event coordinator and manager at Lucien’s in Berlin NJ and she was employed there. Then few years later when I was the event sales manager at The Palace Catering in Blackwood NJ we hired her to manage the staff and coordinate all aspects of the events booked.

My own company SJ B.E.S.T. Business Event Services Team is where I do a lot of off premise for clients. Any wedding or events that are larger scale with my company that need extra attention to detail, Candace is going to be the first person I try to schedule and bring onto the team. I hire her to Event Manage for my VIP customers. She delivers a flawless event and every event has been extremely successful. Clients and guests are impressed by the level of service they received when she is at the lead and doing what she does best. Candace strengths are endless. She knows how to greet and communicate with guests. She understands floor plans, place setting, detailing tables, decor and lighting. She knows how the front and back of house works in the industry. She successfully communicates with vendors, staff and can follow a timeline perfectly. Candace is a valuable asset to the hospitality industry and it is a pleasure having worked alongside her"

"HUGE shoutout to JPC Event Coordination for exceeding my expectations for our “Winter Wonderland” themed Bridal Shower!! Candace was thorough, creative, communicative and took my vision and turned it into a reality!! I could not have asked for anything more. This was so much better than I imagined so THANK YOU!!! If you are looking for someone for your next event, I highly recommend JPC!!!"

-B. Bleattler

"We were so happy that we hired Candace to coordinate my daughter’s wedding. She took care of every aspect of the wedding so we could enjoy ourselves and we did not have to worry. She made me feel at ease because she knew how stressed I was about the wedding. We were very happy with Candace’s work ethic, personality, professionalism. She worked very well with the wedding party, family, DJ, Servers, bartenders. We would definitely hire Candace again for any event we would have in the future."

-Jennifer R. (MOB)

"JPC helped coordinate for my winter wonderland theme bridal shower & did an AMAZING job. Candace is not only incredibly talented, but so much fun to work with. She listened to exactly what I wanted & truly brought my vision come to life, even better than I imagined. I’m so excited to use JPC for my wedding, I trust & believe it’ll be everything I’ve ever dreamed of, thanks to Candace ❤️ 10/10 would recommend!

4/15 update - JPC coordinated my wedding this past weekend & let me tell you in one word how I felt.. speechless. Candace heard my ideas & the vibe I wanted & she blew it out of the water. From the ceremony decor, to the sweetheart table, to all the little details, it was absolutely perfect. It was better than I could’ve ever imagined & I got SOO many compliments on all of her work. Not only is she amazing at her job but she also makes wedding planning 10x less stressful by handling all those little details & taking it all off my shoulders. You can fully trust her to get the job done & get it done RIGHT. Hire JPC for all of your events but especially your wedding.. you won’t regret it"

- A. Winters

"We hired JPC for my daughters wedding after she did an amazing job at her bridal shower and let me just tell you…she absolutely blew us away!!! We were beyond HAPPY with every single detail for the wedding!!!! We talked about our vision and exactly what we wanted it to look like and JPC not only delivered but they took it to the next level!! JPC really listens to you, and truly puts you at ease. She took care of EVERYTHING and I can’t stress enough as the Mother of the Bride how invaluable that was to me!
