Shine Event Productions

We hired Jessica a year ahead of time to help with our wedding. My partner and I had high expectations, and Jessica delivered. When our venue and the surrounding neighborhood experienced a power outage the afternoon of our wedding (seriously), Jessica stayed calm and worked with the venue behind the scenes (without adding to our stress at all) to figure out contingency plans and get the power back on (which thankfully happened just in time). In addition to the day-of, Jessica was extremely patient and professional with our venue (not easy), recommended some key vendors (photobooth, band), and kept us on track. Thank you Jessica!

We didn't have it in our budget for a full planner but knew we wanted to have a day of coordinator. Jessica was recommended to us by our venue, and upon our first meeting with her we new that this was the right decision. Jessica was all around amazing. She was very professional, knowledgable, organized, communicative, and on top of that just the nicest person with positive and calming energy, literally everything you want in your coordinator. She has a great checklist to help you plan (so many little details and things we didn't think of), we had really helpful check-in calls, and she was so responsive to my millions of questions leading up to wedding day. Not only did she help make sure our wedding day went completely smooth from start to finish (when she said the only thing she wanted us to worry about was getting married and enjoying the day, she meant it) but she went above and beyond by helping set up decorations (her artistic work with some greenery and flowers was phenomenal!). She was 100% worth it, and I highly recommend her to any couples in the Bay Area.

We loved working with Jessica Harris (Shine Event Productions)!

PROFESSIONAL | ORGANIZED | COMMUNICATIVE | CLUTCH | DELIGHTFUL

As organized as we were, we probably would not have been able to relax or enjoy our wedding if not for our day-of coordinator. Jessica was the perfect point person, making sure things ran smoothly and efficiently, always with a smile on her face. We never had to check the time or think about the schedule of events because she made sure things moved along and stayed on track; she always made sure we had what we needed--and a drink in our hand at all times, and if anything went wrong (e.g. the aisle runner wouldn't stay in place, we ran out of disposable cups at the reception, etc.), she made last-minute decisions for us so that we didn't have to worry about any of it!

If you are on the fence about hiring a wedding planner, we recommend at least talking with Jessica—she has a lot of experience and provided us with a lot of good options.
