Don't hesitate to hire Plan Prep Party!

I apologize for the delay in writing this review; I tend to procrastinate when overwhelmed, which is precisely why Jessica was such an incredible asset throughout our wedding planning process. From our very first call, Jessica's amazing energy was palpable, and I knew immediately that we wanted to work with her. I even joked with my partner, "Can we be friends with her??"

Jessica began assisting us in winter 2019, and shortly after, when COVID-19 brought the world to a halt, her support became invaluable. She expertly helped us manage our next steps with our already booked vendors. We faced particular challenges with one vendor over postponement and potential cancellation issues, and Jessica stood by us every step of the way.

When we finally decided to proceed with our wedding in 2022, Jessica effortlessly picked up where we left off and regained the momentum. Although we hired her for partial planning and design, she consistently went beyond the expected scope. Her communication was clear and transparent, and she was incredibly adept at aligning our desires with our budget. One of the aspects I most appreciated about Jessica was her creative direction. I bombarded her with a myriad of ideas about how I envisioned our wedding, and she not only listened but managed to integrate all my suggestions into something truly spectacular. To this day, I still receive compliments on how beautiful everything turned out.

On the day of the wedding, Jessica ensured everything ran smoothly—any issues that arose were handled so seamlessly that I was blissfully unaware of them.

Thank you, Jessica, for making our dream wedding a reality, especially after everything we went through together. You are not only a fantastic wedding planner but also an incredible person. I only wish we could get married again just to work with you one more time!

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!
