We had been planning the venue and catering and other elements of the wedding on our own but then within a month of the ceremony we started to notice things getting tougher to keep organized. Then we finally decided to contact Jeff and his team. From the get-go he delivered a polished service with all of the attention and experience one would expect. But what really pushed the experience above and beyond was his swift and calming influence during emotionally fraught times. With weeks to go the DJ equipment fell through - Jeff jumped into action and had a solution in place within less than 12 hours. The fact that Jeff has produced so many events meant he knew well ahead of time what problems could lie in wait - and he effortlessly dealt with them as they arose. Leading up to the event he was a trusted advisor and a calming sooth sayer. Then on the day of the event he was an absolute star - taking on the duties of organizing the vendors, interfacing with the venue, orchestrating large family photos and making sure everyone had a fantastic time. We would highly recommend Stillwell Events for anyone who wants their wedding day to go off with aplomb and without a hitch! More...

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! More...

Jeff made every moment of our planning process memorable and enjoyable. I truly miss our correspondence and collaboration, but will forever cherish the amazing final product! Jeff took my vision (and all of its intricate details) and made it into our dream wedding. Our party was on the larger side, but Jeff was eager to take it on and far exceeded any expectation we had. From our church reception to our post-celebration brunch, he was involved in every step of the way. Our greatest memories are courtesy of Jeff, and for that, we are forever thankful. More...

There are no words that can possibly describe how amazing it was to have Jeff by my side for our daughter's wedding. She and I will forever remember how stress free our last mont of planning was and how amazing the night was ! We felt like guests in the sense that other than to enjoy our guests and celebrate we had no worries and no responsibilities. Jeff is organized, knowledgable, has great taste and enormous experience. If you want someone to guide you throughout the process or just to calm you and get you through the last month....He's your guy! More...

As a veteran in this wedding Industry I have had the luck of seeing and working with many many people and companies. Last weekend I had the absolute honor of working with Jeff Stillwell as a planner for our Bride Caroline and Groom Scott. Jeff helped with absolutely everything from getting under our bride's dress to have her look and feel perfect for her big day to managing our video, photography, and photo booth services that day to create a magical wedding and memories that will last their lifetime. I highly recommend Jeff Stillwell and his team for your next event as you deserve the very BEST!!! xo Sarah More...

Just beginning to write this review about Jeff makes me emotional.
I had the kind of wedding where everything that could’ve gone wrong did- in every single aspect of the day and planning (venue change 2 months out to start) and Jeff was the single constant that kept the day together and made it happen.
Jeff answered all of my million emails within 2-5 minutes and at all hours of the day and night. He went above and beyond to help us with things completely outside of his job description including occasional couples counseling without making either of us feel less important or not heard.
He learned us on such a level that he began to read my mind in meetings and helped me evolve my thoughts and visions while remaining totally honest and helping me find the best value. We became a thruple (3 person couple?) with him and our immediate comfort level was established and set by him on day 1 of meeting
On the day of the wedding we began running 40 minutes behind and I had no idea until the next day because nothing suffered. His experience in the industry was commented on by every guest I spoke to after the day since he remained cool calm collected yet firm and ran the show
Then there is his assistant Sylvia. She is beyond words amazing! If Jeff is ever out of budget for a bride and Sylvia can run the wedding through Stillwell events you will not be disappointed and will immediately fall in love with her
Jeff had created a one of a kind brand with Stillwell events and always brings a smile, beautiful energy and a great attitude to every day you get to work with him. It’s no question for any future events that we will be praying he isnt already booked!
If I could give 10 starts it wouldn’t be enough
Jeff was the IT factor for our day and there is no thank you that is big loud or good enough for the difference he made. I enjoyed every second without a care in the world leaving the best day of my life in his extremely capable hands.
THANK YOU JEFF! Love H & F 5/12

We had such a wonderful experience with Jeff. He made the planning of the wedding so easy. He had great ideas, was very organized and knew exactly what we wanted. The day of the wedding we couldn't ask for someone more dedicated to helping to make sure our wedding went off without any issues. He was there every step of the way and we highly recommend that you use Jeff to plan and work with you on your wedding. More...

From the moment Jeff entered our lives, a wedding fantasy was brought to fruition. It's not often you hear the parents of the bride saying they'd love a do over just to have the entire experience again without changing a thing. Everything went as planned and the wedding was spectacular. Jeff exceeded all our expectations, his knowledge and exquisite taste helped plan and execute the perfect New York wedding! More...

I 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. More...

There are no words to describe your incredible taste, your wonderful design style, and your natural ability in helping me plan Lana and Robert’s perfect wedding at the Rainbow Room.
Jeff, you took the chore out of making decisions, and the choices were all the right ones: the menu choices, your suggestions with the chuppah and the flower arrangements, your help with the favors, and then you surprising me at the tasting with not one, but two perfect linen choices! It wouldn’t have been the same party without your guidance, your interest, your love, your support, your caring and your incredible talent! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!"
