Palm Springs Wedding Boogie in the Desert

My wife and I can’t say enough about how incredible our wedding turned out, all thanks to Jacqueline. We really wanted to lean into the funky, fun spirit of Palm Springs and incorporate stylish elements that captured that vibe. Jacqueline completely understood the assignment and knocked it out of the park. Every wild idea we had—no matter how crazy—she made happen, and the result was more beautiful than we ever imagined. Most importantly, our wedding felt so authentically us—every detail reflected our personalities, style, and vision.

She didn’t just plan our wedding day—she created an unforgettable wedding weekend, bringing each event to life with its own unique theme and atmosphere. From the moody, dark, and sexy welcome dinner on Friday to the bright, fun, and wild wedding day, to the disco-glam after-party, and finally, the perfect cherry on top: a relaxed and stylish brunch on Sunday, Jacqueline made sure every moment felt special and seamlessly executed.

She also helped coordinate our invitations and gift bags, both of which turned out incredible and set the tone for the whole experience. Every aspect of the planning process was handled flawlessly, and her attention to detail ensured everything came together perfectly.

Working with her was effortless and truly a pleasure throughout the entire year of planning. She was so easy to collaborate with, and our frequent Zoom meetings helped us stay on track despite our busy schedules. We always left those calls feeling positive and excited about our wedding.

Jacqueline goes above and beyond in every way. She helped us find special entertainment outside the bounds of a typical wedding—our guests were blown away by the stilt walkers and dancers she arranged. She also handled coordinating with family members and hotels, making the entire planning process seamless. Truly a one-stop shop, she does it all with no hidden costs—everything is included, and the value for money is unmatched. If you’re looking for a wedding planner who will bring your vision to life and then some, Jacqueline is the one. Hiring her was the best decision we made, and we can’t recommend her enough!

Excellent! Best decision we made for our wedding

My husband and I interviewed several wedding planners in the So Cal region and Jacqueline stood out from the crowd— she is easy to approach and talk to, kind, patient, and professional. I knew I had to have her as my wedding planner after that first meeting!

We planned our wedding with Jacqueline over the course of a year and a half and she was an integral part of each decision that was made. She scheduled venue visits, referred us to the best vendors in the region, helped us review contracts, created a budgeting plan, created a design based off of our inspiration photos, and so much more. When I requested different vendor options, she gave me a carefully curated list of options in different budget categories. She was even able to coordinate a cake tasting within a week’s notice when my husband and I were in town for the dinner tasting (we both live outside of California).
It’s also of note that my husband and I live out of state and both have rigid work schedules; despite these challenges, Jacqueline was always easy to communicate and schedule meetings with.

Now for the wedding weekend itself— Jacqueline took care of each mishap with grace and created a seamless wedding weekend timeline (not a small feat considering our wedding party was 25+ people and just our rehearsal dinner was 70 people). Every small detail such as setting up early check in for the bridal suite and coordinating ice cream pick up Jacqueline and her team executed perfectly. Even as a type-A bride, I felt at ease and incredibly calm throughout the weekend because I knew she was going to take care of us. In regards to design, both the rehearsal dinner and wedding reflected our style perfectly; She brought to life the vision I had, even better than the inspiration photos I had shared with her. Numerous guests told us during and after the wedding that our wedding was the best wedding they had ever attended. It was each of the thoughtful details Jacquline suggested that made the weekend feel like magic. I could not recommend Jacqueline more as she is the best decision I made for my wedding.

Best Decision We Made!

We had the pleasure of working with Jacqueline for our recent wedding, and it was hands down one of the best decisions we made in our wedding planning process. From the initial consultation to the big day, Jacqueline demonstrated unwavering professionalism and a sharp eye for detail. She transformed our vision into a reality, and the results were a dream come true. The wedding day unfolded seamlessly, and Jacqueline played a pivotal role in making it a day filled with ease and overflowing happiness.

When unexpected challenges came up in the wedding planning process, Jacqueline handled them with grace and ensured our day was flawless. Jacqueline was a constant source of reassurance and we always knew that everything would fall into place under her care. She provided us support and always made sure our needs and desires were met. Her dedication and genuine care made our wedding experience truly remarkable.

We can't express how grateful we are for her hard work and dedication. We highly recommend Jacqueline to any couple looking for a top-notch wedding planning experience. Our heartfelt thanks go out to Jacqueline for making our day truly the most magical and memorable day of our life. We miss talking to her consistently already but she'll always be a special part of our lives!

Simply The BEST

We are SO grateful that we found Jacqueline to go on our wedding planning journey with. She is incredibly detail oriented, organized, professional, responsive, and also just an absolutely lovely person! We were planning an ambitious destination wedding in Italy with a thousand moving parts – what’s more, we had to postpone the wedding several times due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Jacqueline went above and beyond to stay ahead of the numerous changes and updates with various vendors, and to keep us on track through navigating a sea of challenging logistics (3 days of events, 5 musical acts, 2 photographers – the list goes on). Throughout the planning process, it gave us immense peace of mind to know that Jacqueline would make sure everything was taken care of. During the wedding itself, she seamlessly managed every last detail to ensure that we had the wedding of our dreams. We absolutely and enthusiastically recommend Jacqueline to anyone planning a wedding and simply cannot thank her enough!

Incredible wedding planner!!

We cannot recommend Jacqueline enough. She is the most down to earth, attentive, professional, caring and tasteful planner we've come across. We interviewed several wedding planners and knew immediately that she was the perfect fit. If you look at photos of previous weddings she's planned, you will see that she puts together truly beautiful, charming, and elegant events. Of course that was our initial selling point, but after our first call with her, we noticed her meticulous attention to detail, helpful and thoughtful approach, and calming demeanor which immediately put our minds at ease and made us trust her. Although we had a specific vision for our wedding (which she really helped put into focus), for the numerous details we hadn't thought about, she was able to narrow down the wide variety of choices and steer us in the right direction, while always taking into account our preferences and budget. Come wedding day, all we had to do was show up and enjoy the experience because every detail was taken care of and the flow of the event was perfect. Thank you Jacqueline! We are so grateful for you!

A long journey to happily ever after!

There aren't enough words to express how we have come to feel about Jacqueline ~ She's simply THE BEST!
Our journey began 2 years ago. We are from Miami but wanted to have a destination wedding in Malibu. My daughter (the bride) found Jacqueline on Instagram, they face-timed and fell in love. There began our 2 year journey. Plans were made, dates were set, travel was had, tastings were eaten and champagne was toasted.. We were 6 weeks from the big day and COVID came knocking!!! After a major breakdown, we decided to cancel. Jacqueline had been paid in full and she did her job with grace, professionalism and kindness. She was always available and reassuring and ALWAYS calmed us down! Detail oriented, creative and even read our contracts! Always with our budget in mind. We rescheduled for a year down the road and hoped and prayed that things would be better. Jacquline explained that though she was paid in full, she still wanted to be there and help us with every detail, even though we rescheduled in Miami! Fast forward, COVID is still with us, our list went from 180 to 80 and Jacqueline handled every single detail from her home in California. She was so amazing and I came to lean on her for everything. Now she was planning the destination wedding instead of us! Well, as luck would have it, or just bad timing, Jacqueline was unable to come to Miami and outsourced to a local wedding planner. But she STILL stayed with us the whole time. Last night was our kids dream wedding. I can honestly say that without Jacqueline this never would have been such a huge success. It was truly a dream come true. She took no additional money from us. She is such a FANTASTIC WEDDING PLANNER, I can not imagine anyone not hiring her. She has become like family and I wish she could have been with us last evening. Jacqueline, thank you again for everything you've done and for making the wedding A Dream Come True.

Our absolute dream wedding planner

Jacqueline is incredibly talented, hard-working, caring, and thoughtful. I interviewed three other planners and, given that we wanted an intimate wedding in the backyard of our home with a very specific vision in mind, she was the only person I felt comfortable working with. We could not recommend her enough, from start to finish she was a total badass, detail-oriented and organized, but with the sweetest, most personal approach. She also effortlessly handled a number of challenges that we faced along the way, and we are so thankful for her efforts.

Our wedding wouldn't have happened without Jacqueline

My husband and I were lucky enough to work with Jacqueline for our recent October wedding. We foolishly thought that we could plan with wedding ourselves but once we met with Jacqueline we knew that we needed her professional help to have the wedding of our dreams. Throughout the entire process Jacqueline was organized, communicative, and just incredibly helpful. She never went more than 24 hours without responding to one of my countless emails. In addition to organizing all of our vendors, contracts, payment dates, and timelines, she also designed the entire look and feel of the wedding. We had a specific vision for our day and Jacqueline worked tirelessly to bring it to life. And while she is a professional, working with Jacqueline I knew that she cared about us personally and wanted to make sure that we had the best day. When things inevitably got stressful, she sent a care package to our apartment to make us feel better. On our wedding day, she was cool, calm and collected. The wedding was everything we wanted and more. We couldn’t have done it without Jacqueline. Do yourself and your fiancé a favor and hire her!

Amazing Wedding Planner!

Honestly don't know where to begin or how to put into words how much Jacqueline did for our wedding. From her incredible organization and consistent communication to her creativity and professional vendor relationships, she took our general ideas of what we wanted from our wedding and truly elevated them into an unforgettable experience that our guests are still raving about. She was constantly ahead of any issues that came up and was always readily available to offer advice and suggestions regarding all aspects of the wedding.

From the first meeting to the end of your actual wedding day, shes with you every step of the way to make sure that your day is exactly what you want. My wife and I could not have been more happy with our choice to use Jacqueline to plan our special day!

Jacqueline is a one-of-a-kind wedding planner!

It's nearly impossible to properly thank Jacqueline for all she did to make our wedding weekend such a success! With warmth, calm, and ease, she made our vision come alive and handled every detail, every vendor, every guest (including a sensitive mother of the groom :)), and every moment with grace and class. Not an easy task given we had a packed weekend of events, including a welcome pizza party and four locations at our wedding venue (including an all-night dance party in a wine cave)! All of our guests commented about how seamlessly they were transported to each site at the venue and how they felt so taken care of. That's all thanks to Jacqueline! She even got a shout-out from my best man in his speech and many friends are now looking to book her for their weddings. She did it all with a smile and an attention to detail that is unmatched with anyone else we met while planning our wedding. It felt like we had known Jacqueline for years and she is now part of our family. Can't thank her enough for curating the best weekend of our Iives!
