Best of the best- i promise!

Jess is truly the best of the best, top tier wedding planner. I didn't realize what full-service planning meant until Jess literally made everything exceptionally easy, fun and memorable. Jess goes the extra mile with literally every detail for the wedding, I don't know how she does it!! I was so bad at the correspondence and easily got overwhelmed by all the tasks at hand, but Jess was right there the whole time, and if I was behind on a task, she would text/call me and then take care of the corresponding with the vendor. This was massive for me, because as a bride planning a wedding all while working full time and planning a move across the country, I relied on Jess for so much and she always had my back and made all the planning x10000 easier than I expected!

Jess is one of those magical people who you just want on your team because she get sh*t done, has fun, and thinks of details you would've never thought of. We got married at my husband's house and had to install literally everything from a outdoor kitchen, bathrooms, electric, sound, and transform a tennis court into a tented venue. This was a massive undertaking, and one that most could not be trusted with...but Jess stayed with us the entire week leading up to the wedding to make sure every layer to the event set up was perfectly crafted. The house was so beautiful and the transformation was unlike anything I've ever seen. The way Jess is able to so effortlessly collaborate with and manage the dozens of vendors working at the house was CEO vibes. She is so calm, but energetic, direct, but empathetic, creative, but strategic. Jess brings it all to the table, and the table is freaking beautiful!! I know everyone involved in the wedding would say the same :) Which also, Jess has the most insanely talented, vetted, fun list of vendors to work with- everyone she recommended was 10/10.

I had mentioned in the passing that it would be fun to incorporate our friend's favorite shots at the wedding, but it seemed challenging because it was a shot of tequila, with clementines and a splash of cinnamon. I had forgotten about it till at the wedding, Jess came on the dance floor serving a platter full of tequila shots, and clementines dusted in cinnamon and was passing them out to all our friends. This was such a highlight because all our friends just flocked to Jess on the dance floor, and it perfectly encapsulated her attention to detail, hard work, and crazy fun loving spirit.

Jess we love you so much!! Working with you has been such a joy, and no one could've made this day more fun and perfect, THANK YOU for going above and beyond with everything!!!!

Great experience!

I honestly can’t say enough about how wonderful Jess and the team at Onyx & Redwood are. We hired Jess for the full service planning and design of our wedding and welcome party. She went above and beyond our expectations in every way!
She has an outstanding sense of design and her attention to detail is kind of mind blowing. She has a lot of experience working with local vendors and knew just the right combination of people/companies to put together to bring our vision to life. She is great at organizing and coordinating all the moving parts that make up planning a wedding. She's also so much fun to work with, I looked forward to each and every meeting we had whether it was over the phone or in person.
I can truly say that our whole wedding weekend was absolutely flawless thanks to Jess and her team. I don’t know too many brides who can say that and to me that is invaluable!

Jess saved the day!

Jess is an actual miracle worker! She handled planning my micro-wedding during the COVID-19 crisis with so much grace. She made sure that everything was safe for my guests, while still ensuring that my vision was brought to life. She made every element of planning, rescheduling, navigating government guidelines, and day of organization run seamlessly. With out her this experience would have been pure chaos, we were so lucky to have her on our team!

Jessica is the best! Very organized and detailed!

We were so glad to hire Jessica as our Month-of-Coordinator. I can honestly say that everything about our wedding went so perfect and a huge part of that is with Jessica's help! She not only helped with the logistical aspect of our day but also suggested great ideas that made our wedding even more beautiful. We used her unique and beautiful dinner plates it made such a big difference on the final look. Jessica is great at getting things done and always went above and beyond to make everything about your wedding special. No matter how many emails, or texts leading up to the big day, Jessica was happy to help! She is very well organized and used a great online program, Aisle Planner that helped me as the bride to keep track of payments, seating charts, RSVP's, inspiration board, day of schedule, etc. The Aisle Planner was great when Jessica and I needed to keep track of any communications we had about a certain vendor, saving the vendor contracts, payments, seating chart and venue layouts.
Our wedding was at the Santa Barbara Historical Museum and Jessica had done many weddings there. It was very helpful to have her know the venue and the vendors because we wouldn't have been able to coordinate all the vendor's schedules on our own. Thank you Jess for all your amazing help to make our day run so smoothly. We received a lot of compliments from our families that Jessica was a great hire!

Jess is the absolute best of the best. We wanted our wedding to be unique, fun, and stress free and that's exactly what Jess gave us. Jess was on top of every detail at all times and it allowed me to be able to relax and enjoy my wedding without a single worry. She designed everything to perfection and incorporated a lot of details that were very personal to my husband and me, which made the whole experience extra special.

I would recommend her to anyone and everyone.

Highly Recommend!!!!

My husband and I hired Jessica as a full-service wedding planner. We clicked immediately upon meeting and we immediately felt confident that Jessica was the planner for us!
She is clearly so experienced at what she does. She was organized, communicative, and is one AMAZING designer. She understood exactly what style we like and made our day truly represent us. It was so beautiful. Her attention to detail sets her apart from the rest! She thought of so many cute little ideas that enhanced the overall vibe of our wedding.
Not only is Jessica an incredible designer, but she also as so supportive to us throughout the process. Weddings seem to come with a lot of drama and Jessica was always there to listen and give advice.
You will not be disappointed hiring Jessica! She is the best!

As a photographer whose job is to make sure you capture every important detail of the day, it’s vital that the team you are working with is on the same page. Working with Jess was an ideal experience. She was always present when I needed her and is extremely organized and detail oriented. She’s also ultra creative and a joy to be around. She has great suggestions and vocalizes them in a way that feels fun and collaborative. I hope to work with her again in the future and would highly recommend her services!

Quite simply, Jessica and her team surpassed our expectations. We chose Bijoux"s "Event Design and Coordination" package because our daughter's wedding and reception venue was unique and had some special challenges. This was the first wedding we have hosted so we had many questions and concerns. It was wonderful to be able to e-mail, text, or call Jessica for advice along the way. I have happy memories of visiting vendors with Jessica and my daughter and then having lunch together. Not only does Jessica have amazing vision, she is FUN!
The wedding day was magical. Jessica and her team (Natalie was great!), handled every detail from dealing with a bee sting, bustling the brides wedding dress, to making sure all the guests were happy and having a good time. As a result, my husband and I totally enjoyed the evening. At one point, I told Jessica,"You were right about Everything!". Jessica even came to the brunch the next day, along with her husband and her two darling children.
A wedding can be stressful or it can be one of the most meaningful and memorable days of your life--a time when old friendships are revisited and new relationships are made. Thanks to Jessica, ours was perfect in every way. If we are lucky enough to have another wedding in our family, Jessica will be the first person we call!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
