The best, most talented planner!
I think it's rare for a bride to have the opportunity to see their future planner's work ahead of time. For me, I was lucky enough to see Jessica's work at one of my best friend's weddings. Her wedding was stunning, but more importantly, it was executed flawlessly, from start to finish. My friend's entire family RAVED about their experience working with Jessica, so when we had the opportunity to work with her, it was a no brainer.
When planning a wedding, there are a few things that are key factors to keep in mind when finding your perfect planner: 1) someone who will collaborate on the design, and bring unique ideas to the table, 2) someone who respects your budget, 3) someone with a strong working relationship with amazing vendors, 4) a hyper-organized person, and sometimes overlooked 5) someone who can navigate the stresses the bride often endures with grace and patience. Jessica exhibits all of the above listed qualities and so many more. She's responsive, creative, organized, and kind. She has formed strong relationships with amazing vendors and works well with all involved parties. Jessica worked to keep us on schedule and my mom and I looped in at all times. As we got closer to the wedding, we had weekly meetings to go through remaining action items and talk about any late-breaking changes. When we had last minute guest changes/cancellations, she handled the updates efficiently and made sure to update impacted vendors (like food and beverage). Even after the wedding was over, she would email us to make sure we’d seen the email from our photographer with our sneak peek photos! Day of, we ran on-time (even ahead of schedule sometimes!) and it was cool, calm and carefree for both me and my mom. She had everyone in the right places, kept us all on track, and had full control of the day.
The last thing I’ll mention is her kind spirit, which I already touched on briefly. Jessica is legitimately so, so kind and exudes a calming yet confident energy about herself. We always knew that she had things under control, and if there was a point where she felt stressed, I literally never would’ve known! Like Marie Kondo says, find the things that bring you joy; it was an absolute JOY and pleasure to work with Jessica on our wedding.
Jessica is truly an incredible planner and I will always recommend her to any newly engaged couples. She went above and beyond. Her passion for weddings and helping to create special moments for her couples is so apparent, and it translates in to how she executes weddings. She’s the best!!!
