Jessica was very organized, professional and attentive to the details- big and small. All the vendors she recommended were wonderful. My daughter, the bride, said her wedding was exactly what she’d envisioned and hoped it would be! Jessica communicated well and kept us calm and on-track. She also was respectful and mindful of our budget. Her services were worth every penny and more- we highly recommend Serene Occasions!!

Jessica and her team were truly essential to making my wedding day as amazing as it was. In addition to planning they also handled my flowers and rentals, each of these turned out beyond my expectations.

Jessica from day 1 of hiring her was beyond helpful in guiding me on the wedding planning process. She effectively communicated expectations and timelines, guided me with her professional expertise, and problem solved extremely effectively. As a bride with very little wedding planning experience I truly could not have done this without her.

I have nothing but complete praises for Jessica and her team! I had several guests and family members tell me how professional, but even more importantly, kind her staff was throughout the event. Many guests stated she’s the best planner they have ever seen which I must agree!

Ultimately, hiring Serene Occasions to plan my wedding was the best choice I could have made.

Great job. We were treated like royalty. Very professional! Thank you so much - highly recommend!

Jessica and her husband are on top of it! Our monthly calls and visits kept me sane in the wedding planning process. She is so knowledgable in so many areas - especially with the Eden Gardens Venue! With a background of design and florals she really helped bring all of my wedding visions together! I love her organization and really trusted her opinions and recommendations in the planning process. It truly felt as if she was a major stakeholder in our wedding and wanted everything to go as perfect as I wanted and not just trying to get a job done. I highly recommend a planner for more than just a day of planner, and Jessica was the perfect one!

Jessica and the team at Serene Occasions exceeded our expectations from our initial call all the way to the final minute of our perfect wedding day. Jessica's expertise for not only the wedding planning industry but also the 30A area was what set her apart initially. Without a doubt in my mind, we booked our wedding date with Serene Occasions and began the planning process!
Throughout every phone call, Jessica and I were able to accomplish our to do list and found ourselves mostly chatting about life or upcoming pre-wedding festivities. I always felt a thousand percent more confident in our progress as the call came to an end.
Jessica is a great advice giver, a confidant during the stressful parts of planning a wedding, and an amazing friend. When we met 6 months prior to the wedding day, Jessica was reassuring that we were on the right path and instilled a “slow down and enjoy it” mindset within Kyle and I.
The details were set and the wedding weekend quickly approached! At our rehearsal, Jessica was extremely well-versed in getting everyone on the same page! Wedding morning, I received updates from Jessica of the venue as vendors set up and she continued to let us enjoy our day. If something did not go perfectly on our special day, I have no idea about it - even to this day! Professionalism and friendship are the foundation of Serene Occasions. Jessica has an impeccable day-of timeline, preferred vendor list, and amazing online capabilities to help bring your vision to life. She also works extremely well with all vendors, we even brought some vendors in from out of town! Our experience with Serene Occasions was the most exceptional. I cannot say enough good things about Jessica. Sending a huge thank you to Jessica and her team for making our day nothing short of perfection.

Jessica was great - we found her after we booked our venue as a recommendation from the venue's management. When we interviewed with her, we were up front with our situation with a lot of moving parts - we are a military family and although we started this process about a year in advance, we knew a TDY, a move out of state, job changes and other variables were going to be happening during that time and our ability to be physically present would be challenging. Jessica wasn't deterred at all and she was so adaptable and communicative with us through the entire process. On the day of our wedding, everything (I mean EVERYTHING) was taken care of. Because our wedding became a destination wedding last minute (none of our guests, including ourselves because we moved, were local) I voiced that all I wanted to do was show up and have an amazing party. She 10000% delivered.

Serene Occasions is fantastic all around! My wedding was in November and we had our initial meeting a little less than a year before. It seemed early but from the start, Jessica and Sean knew exactly what I wanted. They executed my wedding not only perfectly but effortlessly. I remember 6 months before my wedding I started to ask questions and get their opinions on certain things and they knew the answer every time. I wanted something simple, casual and fun and the planning process was SO easy for me— at the time, it felt a bit too easy. Would they remember what flowers I wanted? Do they have the food figured out? Is my wedding day ready? All questions I asked myself because I really did not have to do much! Jessica and Sean truly did it all from planning, picking vendors, showing up for meetings, ceremony details, reception details, etc. I was shocked the day of my wedding. It was BEYOND perfect. Thank you Jessica, Sean and Serene Occasions!!!! The best day ever!!!!!

Jessica works our heart out. Before I even hired her, she spent two long phone calls with me explaining procedure and options and everything that she does.
She is always lovely to talk with an is the consummate professional. Her vendor list is spot on and proved to be vendors with an elevated level of performance. Honestly, her vendor list alone is a reason to hire her. The relationships that she maintains with these other professionals speaks volumes of what a hard worker and sharp individual she is. She handles every single aspect of the wedding day. And her husband is present as well as an assistant. So you are getting people in every corner to make sure that your day is flawless. Her day-of timeline is impeccable. Simply cannot say enough good things about Jessica and her team. If you are doing a wedding in Carillon or anywhere in 30A, do yourself a favor and book Jessica before anything else!

Due to the current Covid situation, my husband and I had to quickly change plans from our 250-person wedding in Ohio to an intimate beach ceremony with immediate families in FL. I was overwhelmed by replanning yet another wedding in an unfamiliar location and joined a local Facebook group for guidance. Jessica graciously contacted me after I asked for recommendations for florals and she instantly became my life savor! She took time to hear our story and our dreams for our new wedding. She provided us with rentals, florals, and advice on timeline, which made the day absolutely magical. She took my inspirations and made them a reality. My flower crown and florals were absolutely breathtaking and more than I could have ever imagined! She truly made our day perfect and we are so thankful for her and her family’s time and support throughout the whole weekend. They were caring, timely, and provided personal touches, which truly made our wedding so special! I would recommend Serene Occasions to any bride or anyone planning an event.

Jessica and Sean,



Matt and I just wanted to say thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Jessica, you were so much fun to work with. Your experience and knowledge of things to expect and account for; your overall joy for what you do and constant positivity really made it all worth it. We were stumped many times with COVID and potential hurricane, and I felt at ease because I knew (and you reminded me) that everything would turn out perfect. I have people still telling me it was the best wedding they had been to. Thank you for guiding me in the vendors, which you had full knowledge of. You ensured we received our deposit back and that Matt and I were taken of at all times.

From beginning to end, we felt catered to and cared for. Always made sure we had food and a drink, that we were getting enough pictures taken in a certain light, and with family. Our wedding day was one big timeline that really helped Matt and I stay on time as well as when we would have certain dances, cut the cake, and speeches. Everything moved fluidly and charmingly. We are also so grateful for the little surprises you kept from us for the wedding day to make the venue even more sweet. I was told to not acquire a wedding planner because I had time to do it all myself, but I could not have imagined it without you Jessica. I am truly going to miss talking to you and meeting with you from time to time. I began to see you as a friend and that means a lot.

Thank you, it was the best day of our life; and our guests cannot stop talking about it.
