My now-wife and I had a phrase for our wedding planning: "That's a Jessica problem," Jessica being the amazing woman behind A Shindig.

Anything that we either didn't want or couldn't deal with (or both!), was a Jessica problem. Jessica not only solved all of the Jessica Problems we gave her--from coordinating the electrical requirements of our band to organizing lighting for our tent--but solved ones I didn't even know we would have like blocking out the rehearsal. Jessica recommended all our vendors (who were uniformly excellent), was responsive to our contact, and even continued answering my borderline inane questions ("What was that cheese the caterer served?") after the wedding was over.

I absolutely cannot recommend her highly enough. Anyone planning a wedding would do well to create some Jessica Problems of their own, and then watch it amazement as she makes solving them look easy.

Jessica was a joy to work with. She is very knowledgeable about the area and the vendors she works with are all superb. Being an out of town Bride, I felt that everything was taken care of - even when the weather took a surprise turn. Jessica truly showed grace under pressure and even though we were on back up weather plan C or D, our event was an incredible success. Cheers!
