My 11-month experience working with Jessica was truly exceptional. She carefully brought my vision to life, creating an event that felt both unique and timeless, filled with vibrant pops of color, meaningful personal touches, and unforgettable “wow” floral moments. I never once had to stress about vendor selections or communication—Jessica seamlessly managed every detail.
She brings a creative yet warm and personable approach to the wedding world that makes the entire process enjoyable. Even now, I continue to receive compliments on how beautiful and distinctive our event was. And honestly, I wish Jessica were my friend in real life!

Jessica certainly is the Queen of Hearts!❤️

Without a doubt, hiring Jessica was thee best decision (besides saying our “I Do’s” ) for our Wedding event.

I can’t thank her enough.

Jessica has such a great eye for detail, excellent ear for listening, huge heart for compassion and she always knows the right words to say.
The vendors I personally spoke with all remarked how wonderful she is to work with.

From A to Z, Jessica was hands on in bringing us the most cool, creative, stylish, different ideas.
She really paid close attention to our tastes, wants and needs. I can’t imagine pulling this off without her guidence.

Since our wedding, I have heard countless remarks from our guests regarding how much fun they had.
The Food, Libations, Music, Cake, Flowers, Photographer and everything in between was mentioned as an A+++ comment.

We had thee Perfect Day. 🥰

From our first meeting with Jessica, I knew we were in great hands! She understood our vision and knew exactly what we wanted, helping us secure the perfect venue and vendors for an out of town wedding - all within 9 months! Her attention to detail and dedication made our wedding incredibly special. She was also present on the day of the wedding, ensuring that every detail was perfect. Working with Jessica was such a blessing, and we couldn’t have done it without her!

We had an amazing experience working with Jessica. She is kind, thoughtful and knowledgeable. Her attention to detail is unmatched. Her designs blew us away and our guest still talk about it!

Jessica made every aspect of planning and attending my own wedding an absolute dream. I am NOT a planner-- in fact, before I hired Jessica, the thought of planning anything larger than a just-the-two-of-us elopement made me break out in stress hives. I contemplated other planners in my area, but friends urged me to meet with Jessica, promising that only she could assuage my fear of planning and take the wheel. They were all right: Jessica was a breath of fresh air, willing to listen to my biggest and smallest worries and able to plan around all of them while still making this fun. Each meeting with her put me at ease, largely due to Jessica's serene demeanor. It felt like I'd met my "person" (aside from my husband). I was armed with a Pinterest board and a theme that didn't scream "wedding" (Eloise at the Plaza, but in the 90s, but with the vibes of a beloved neighborhood restaurant). Jessica took that and delivered a night that included everything I could have wanted-- an over-the-top cake, tinsel and roses in a life-size swan planter, and the special moments with my husband and close family away from the crowd. It turned out I didn't need to worry at all, because Jessica understood my vision at once, handled communications and quotes with vendors, and delivered exactly the night we needed, along with a LOT of emotional support along the way. She could have started charging me a therapy fee, and I would have gladly paid for her services!

The timeline she created for our families and wedding party was so helpful. Our parents and bridesmaids could enjoy the weekend without handling last-minute responsibilities because Jessica and her fabulous team handled it all, including a day-before chair fiasco. We're so lucky we didn't experience any emergency or weather troubles, but if we had, Jessica and the team would have fixed it before we even knew about it. They delivered drinks, coordinated the whole night's timing (including several outfit changes), and kept us fed and having fun!

There is no one else I would have trusted to pull off such a fun night while maintaining the personal elements that were so important to all of us involved. Jessica worked until it was absolutely right, even if that meant scouring fabric shops and the entire internet to find the perfect fringe trim for a tablecloth. I was so impressed with her attention to the smallest details and to the entire vibe of the reception. My only regret is that I cannot plan a wedding with her again!

I highly recommend Jessica Rourke and her wedding planning team! I stumbled upon Jessica’s Instagram account after my now-husband and I got engaged and booked our venue, and I cannot imagine working with anyone else! She understood my vision before I could describe it, and she brought it to life. Her calming and confident energy permeated our wedding planning process, which reassured me, a Type-A bride. She is poised and comforting, and she knows when to crack a joke to lighten the mood. Her vast experience working in the wedding industry meant she helped me through every step of the planning process. Her attention to detail was unparalleled: she recommended the most stunning bridesmaid dresses; worked with our florist to design spectacular arrangements and bouquets; and even selected a particular lace overlay for our tables to accomplish the dreamy, classic vibe we envisioned. She also coordinated the unglamorous details like renting transportation from three separate vendors, managing the chair and linen rental orders and deliveries, etc. She knows the best vendors, and she works tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure her weddings run smoothly. Our wedding was truly breathtaking. I know Jessica and Shana are to thank for our magical, perfect day going off without a hitch. I absolutely recommend Jessica Rourke for all your wedding planning needs!

Jessica Roarke is the finest young businesswoman and planner I believe I have ever met. Jessica planned my fourth daughter’s wedding. It was a destination for all involved, our family farm in the mountains of North Carolina.
I knew from the minute we met Jessica that she was going to be the perfect planner for this special occasion. You can’t help but love her, she is genuinely kind, listens attentively, and in all situations is calm, composed and thoughtful. And, its not a mask or armor she dons, it is Jessica’s remarkable heart.
Our planning meetings in western North Carolina were not exactly convenient travel but she was flexible and enthusiastic none the less. She was always prompt and prepared and presented us with an agenda ahead of time so that we could be prepared also. My daughter Mary and I are the sorts with wandering minds you might say, Jessica would make us all laugh and pull us back on course. Planning was flawless.
Jessica has a corral of amazing vendors and they all clamor to work with her because it is such a joy to be on her team. We loved every one of them, total satisfaction.
The wedding execution presented us with some challenges beyond human control.
First, Covid hit. The rural location dictated air travel for all. As the bride and MOB panicked, Jessica maintained her composure through each delay, negotiating and renegotiating time and again. She was a champion for us and I believe each vendor felt they were a winner. All were happy with her and enthusiastic about the event.
Then, the weekend of the wedding, when it finally happened, the weather was quite a challenge. Heavy storms with strong wind and rain, took the tents down while the family was off property hosting the welcome party. Again, Jessica was a star. She managed the vendors and kept them safe, managed reconstruction and had a smile on her face. Setup wedding day presented some of the same challenges, yet again she orchestrated the setup in the rain with a smile on her face. Every detail was perfect! Jessica made the day and evening so flawless we were celebrating the opportunity to dance in the rain.
Jessica is amazing, I absolutely love her, and we are all truly grateful!

After hiring an initial wedding planner, it was clear they were not the right person to build a venue on my family's farm for my wedding. So we were given a glowing recommendation to work with Jessica.

I cannot say enough kind things about my experience with Jessica. She truly was able to build out a gorgeous wedding on my family property - all with a smile! Something that is difficult to do!

My dream wedding came to life because of her experience, professionalism, and thoughtful attention to detail throughout the process! My husband and I nicknamed her "Mary Poppins" because of how kind and thoughtful she always was.

Building a wedding on a family property is very difficult because you have to figure out electricity, bathrooms, walk ways, coordinating vendors, literally building the tent and floor - and she made it look easy. She created detailed timelines for the vendors and for me on the wedding day, and was extremely organized. Everything went extremely smoothly and my husband and I were actually able to enjoy our own wedding!

She was so amazing, that my recently engaged friends were asking for her card at our wedding. One of them just used her for her wedding at Old Edwards and that too was a true success!

There are a lot of hard choices to make when planning a wedding, but hiring Jessica is an easy one. My sister isn't even engaged yet and knows Jessica will be planning her wedding.

She takes your vision and brings it to life, even better than you could have imagined it. My husband and I are eternally grateful to her for the once-in-a-lifetime wedding she was able to plan for us.

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!!!

Our daughter chose Jessica after a referral from a friend. From our first interview, we knew Jessica was the best person to help us plan the perfect wedding! Jessica understood our daughter almost immediately, and our rapport was calming from day 1. We were planning during Covid, so there were so many extra issues to consider and provide for. Jessica handled everything like it was "normal". We all knew it wasn't! She assisted our daughter and son-in-law with choosing vendors based easily from her grasp of what they both hoped to have while keeping our budget in mind. The last 2 weeks were intense with sudden changes and additions. Again, Jessica adjusted and created ways to help us all adjust. Our daughter and son-in-law have thanked us over and over for the wedding of their dreams. I can't thank Jessica enough for guiding us to be able to provide this for them!
