About

On WeddingWire since 2023

Based in Carmel, California, Cork & Vows offers professional planning services for weddings and other special occasions. Founder Jessica Schmidt combines her decade of experience in the wine industry with her expert coordination skills to create memorable celebrations. She and her team aim to design an event as exquisite as a fine vintage wine.

Services Offered

Cork & Vows offers several packages that allow you to be involved in the process as little or as much as you want. Month-of execution is an excellent choice for couples who want to do most of the heavy lifting but need an extra set of hands as the day approaches. If you want to handle choosing your vendors and let someone else take care of the rest, partial planning is ideal. The full-service package is a fantastic option for clients who want to attend their special day as guests. You can also customize their services if you have specific needs you would like met.

Organized, Kind, Professional

Cork & Vows provided more than we could have ever expected for our special day. Jessica is skilled in her craft, exceptionally professional, and a joy to be around. She guided us through the whole process, from picking vendors to the font on our menu cards. Her many years in the industry shined through all aspects of her work. She was wonderful at taking us along the wedding planning journey which helped to minimize any stress we faced. I could not recommend Jess and Cork & Vows enough.

Jessica Schmidt
Founder & Planner

With a passion for curating memorable experiences, Jessica founded Cork and Vows on things that matter most; friends, family + a good wine. A dream of owning her own wedding production, she pulled together her two careers from her past and future by designing experiences that include wine dinners, rehearsals, wedding brunches, and popping the cork at the wedding!

She also shares the excitement of being engaged to her fiance, Eric (walking down the aisle in 2025)! They live part time by the beaches of Monterey, California & and the mountains of Denver, Colorado. When she is not designing weddings, traveling the world, or watching reruns of Grey’s Anatomy, you can find Jessica in yoga pants, listening to bay area music and playing with the fur babies.
