We loved working with Jess!

We hired Jess back in 2021 for our destination wedding in Park City, and we could not have been more glad we did! We felt so at ease with her relaxing approach in comparison to some wedding planner that seemed a little too tense for our crowd. She helped us with everything from getting our venue, to vendors, to decor and florals throughout our time working together. I am not the type of person to have an "eye" for design and don't like making decisions on that kind of stuff and she made the process so simple and easy. We decided to have our wedding in Utah, because we love coming out here in the winter to Ski and wanted to share that with our family and friends. Considering 98% percent of our guests were traveling in, she helped us with room blocks, gathering information to make it easier for our family and friends to travel, and came up with some really epic welcome bags for them at the hotel. It was such a blessing, because I never even knew how tough it would be to rangle 175 guests traveling to a place they have never been, but I am SO glad I had her to help. All this aside, Jess was just a breath of fresh air out here in Utah, and I understand what she says when she calls herself the "black sheep in the wedding industry"... because she truly is. Our family + friends loved working with her and she really just fit right in. After the wedding, she truly felt like a friend to me, and we had created such a great relationship in my time working with her. If you are debating on it, hire her. She was my rock, sense of reason, and my sounding board when my family was getting overwhelming....(anyone relate?) Me and Jackson are so grateful and glad we hired her!

The best!

Working with Jess was one of the best decisions I made in my wedding planning process. We had her booked for her full wedding planning package, and it was worth every penny.. We were planning our wedding in Salt Lake City for 197 guests(to be exact!) and we knew we needed help so we went searching for a planner and we came across Jess with Dewitt planning. She was so much fun to work with and I loved working with her from booking to my wedding day. She is a pro in making sure the planning process is actually enjoyable. Our main goal was to make our wedding worth the amount of money we were putting into it, and while other planners were more strict on the "bigger budget the better," Jess really makes the most of whatever budget you have. We were able to put together our dream wedding for half of what everyone else said we had to spend to have a good wedding. Highly recommend her and her team!!!!

Jess is a magician with decor and florals!

We recently worked together on a destination elopement in Southern Utah with a tight timeline, and in 20 minutes, (not to mention the 103-degree weather) she pulled it all together flawlessly!

She is organized, has a great attitude, and is fun to be around!!!

As a co-vendor for weddings and elopements, I highly recommend her for your wedding planning and floral needs!

Creative and hardworking!

Jessica was the wedding day-of-coordinator for my outdoor garden wedding. I hired her when she first opened up her own business. At the time she did not have many reviews to go off of, but I trusted that she would be perfect as our DOC because she had many years of hospitality experience. From the beginning, she was excellent at communicating and was very accommodating when I rescheduled my original date due to COVID.

Our wedding was very much DIY, so our venue for the most part was hands-off. My biggest worry was the logistics of decoration set up, so I gave Jessica the decorations and supplies (very meat and potatoes), and let her handle it with minimal direction. What she created was a masterpiece; it was better than what I could have envisioned. Walking into my wedding was seriously a dream.

Throughout the rest of the day, she was super low-key but always moving onto the next thing behind the scenes. She took care of handing the marriage license to the JP, putting the boutonnieres on the millions of men in our wedding party (they all stayed put throughout the night), finding the bridesmaids to give/take their bouquets to set them for table decorations, putting on my bustle, quietly putting away decorations as the party came to an end, and more. All these things she did without cue, and before I even realized it, everything was already taken care of. Because she was so proactive, I was able to enjoy my wedding party that I had planned for so long!

Hiring Jessica as my DOC was one of those things I didn't know I needed until the day of my wedding. Thanks to her, our wedding day ran so smoothly and looked stunning! Literally straight out of instagram/pinterest. On top of that, she had me cracking up all night! Thanks so much, Jessica!

Jess is the best

Jessica played a HUGE role in saving our wedding, as we moved our wedding venue from an established location to a backyard wedding. Everything was DIY and she took our items and vision and made it a masterpiece. Everything was BEAUTIFUL and everything we imagined and more. Not only did she set up and execute the wedding of our dreams, she coordinated our ceremony rehearsal in the pouring rain with no complaints and even brought a set of umbrellas for our wedding party and ensured everyone knew what they needed to do the following day. The day of the wedding was flawless - she arrived at the perfect time and took the stress right out of our hands. She coordinated with vendors as they arrived and set up, she directed us as we walked out of the ceremony to ensure perfect spacing and timing and she was our right hand woman throughout the entire event. Her personality is one for the books and we couldn't have chosen a better planner/coordinator. Jessica exceeded our expectations 100% and we absolutely recommend her for your special day!

So much more then a planner!

Jess is literally the first step to a dream team of wedding vendors! We often think of a venu + photographer when picking our first vendors but I highly recommend having picking a planner being one of the first things you do! As a wedding vendor AND bride to be myself I have not only seen the work of Jess personally, I have worked professionally with her on many shoots and weddings and she is always blowing me away each time! Her designs are unique, her personality is passionate and kind, and I happily refer my wedding clients to Jess!

Photographer

I’ve been lucky enough to work with Jess on a few educations and literally cannot say enough about her. She is so creative and brought whatever convoluted vision I had to life for a beautiful elopement shoot. She was great at listening to me, coming up with things I had never even thought of, and executing those ideas to perfection. As a photographer I’ve worked with a lot of planners and designers that kind of end up leading the couple in the direction that they want (not the couple) because it’ll be cool for their portfolio or it’s the trendy thing to be doing but Jess actually listens to her clients and makes sure that their personality is reflected in the event and styling of the day, which I so so appreciate. Jess is also an incredibly fun and calming presence to have the day of. Whenever there’s an issue, which there always inevitably is, she takes care of it without the client ever knowing that there was something up in the first place. She takes so much stress away it is so invaluable. Also working with a planner is a long process and she’s just an absolute blast to have on your team throughout it all. When I get married I already know for a fact I’ll have Jess planning it all!

Creative, Kind and Dedicated!

I had the pleasure of collaborating with Jess on a styled shoot a couple weeks ago. She designed the whole shoot and it was the shoot of my dreams. The details were beautiful and fit the setting perfectly. You can tell Jess LOVES what she does and was so dedicated to making the day run smoothly and for it to look awesome. She was walking barefoot around in the mud setting everything up so she'd be perfect an awesome nature-loving couple! She even dug another photographer's shoe out of the foot deep mud. I'd recommend Jess to anyone planning a wedding!
