Incredible to work with such an amazing professional

Jessica served as our planner and designer for our recent wedding and I cannot recommend her enough. She was the utmost professional, quick to respond to all of my emails and phone calls, and a joy to work with! She brought my vision to life and was there whenever I needed anything at all. She was a lifesaver in the weeks and days leading up to our wedding, as there were details I know I’d never have even thought about but for her flagging them for us. Seriously – hire her! You won’t be disappointed.

The best decision we made

Hiring Jessica was the best decision we made. Before we worked with her we were stressed and bickering and worried our wedding would never come together. Jessica transformed the process from our greatest source of stress to a joyful positive. She honored our vision at every step of the way, helped us find vendors that matched our style and fit our budget, and made sure everything went perfectly on the day. If you are considering hiring her, DO IT!! And if you’re not, you should be!

#1 Wedding Planner

THANK YOU for ALL you have done for us over the last couple years. You have been absolutely incredible every step of the way. You were always responsive. You always provided your best advice, yet you were more than happy to proceed however we wanted. You always had our back when it came to disputes with venders, even though it was very rare given your amazingly kind and friendly personality. Bottom line, you always got the job done, and done right. I can go on and on about how our perfect, albeit unconventional, wedding was almost entirely because of you and all your amazing qualities, including your creativeness to make the house-venue perfect.

Anyone lucky enough to have you in their life - whether as a wedding planner or daughter (the devotion to your father is absolutely heartwarming) - is extremely blessed.
