Jessica Led a Once-in-a-Lifetime Event

Hiring Jess was the best decision I made during my wedding planning journey.
Initial consultation: During the first meeting, Jess listened carefully to my vision, tradition and concerns. One thing that sets Jessica apart from others is that she does not set a limit for communication – she is committed to making my wedding day perfect.
Planning phase: As a professional wedding planner, Jess is very detail-oriented, hardworking, and patient. She made multiple trips to the linen shop and chatted with me via several emails until I was satisfied with my selection. Jess truly cares about her brides. One time I met with her to look at dinnerware after a stressful day of work. She pulled out a warm box of cookies and said this would help.
Another perk of working with Jess is she is well networked with other high-quality vendors. She identified high caliber vendors, including a specialized fireworks company and a maker of custom signage with Chinese characters. She made requests on my behalf to the venue, such as adding extra service – she made it all happen.
What I really appreciate about Jess is that she truly understood my needs. I am a professional woman, and time is scarce for me. Jess took over all the small details so that I could focus on other things.
Wedding day: My wedding was not an easy wedding. Jess orchestrated all the moving parts – guests throwing rose pedals (and looking perfect in photos), complex dress-bustling and button repairs, fully-rented furnishings and tableware (Jess was ironing tablecloths and linens for the ceremony arch), choreographed first dance with a customized setup, lion dancers, fireworks, multiple people giving (long) toasts, keeping us on-time/schedule, coordinating the packaging of all leftover untouched food for us (we don’t like to waste), collecting and safekeeping gifts, and much more behind the scenes work. Jess executed everything flawlessly! I did not want a gap between the end of the lion dance and the fireworks, so Jess made it better – she set off the fireworks right after the lion dancers’ final stunt. Our guests were in awe continuously throughout the night, and the event had a lasting impact on our guests and us.
Jess is very knowledgeable and experienced, which is clear to see when working with her. She told us about all options ranging from traditional to more modern and gave great advice. The 6-8 months leading up to the wedding were full of planning, but Jess alleviated the burden of planning by handling all the complexities. As a bride, working with Jess was wonderful because the entire experience was stress-free and without concern, as Jess had everything covered. Not only did she execute splendidly, but she led a once-in-a-lifetime event that gave us and our guests lasting memories.

The best wedding planning decision we made

Jessica is THE most amazing and I wish the first thing we did when we got engaged was hire her. Instead, we chose a venue that claimed to help with day of planning (in addition to many other things). Long story short, the venue lacked any attention to detail, treated us like just a number, couldn't keep track of things we'd already discussed, turned over event staff regularly, and kept getting details of our wedding wrong (wedding date, last names, style preferences, etc.). We met with a few wedding planners and after speaking with Jessica, she was the obvious choice. She went above and beyond to work with us to ensure our wedding day and the days leading up were stress free, happy, and unforgettable (in the best way). She is extremely organized, has impeccable attention to detail, is easy to talk to, was firm with our venue (who was unfortunately also our florist) when she needed to be, provided her professional expertise when we got tired of making choices, and it truly felt like we had a friend and ally during every step of the process. I don't want to imagine what our day would have turned out like without her help and luckily I won't have to. Do yourself a favor and hire Jessica!

Jessica was our wedding planner. We hired her in summer 2019 and got married March 2020.

Jessica is AMAZING! Our wedding was absolutely perfect, even better than I had ever imagined. The set up was gorgeous. We had it in a friend’s backyard, and she made it look like a top venue.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

What a great experience to work side by side Jessica and Sweet Soiree Events.Since we're both in the business of getting events from the yellow pad to the front door of the event venue,we almost instantly understood the amount of work involved. Her ability to describe and inform us as to what was required was really clear and concise,no grey areas!! When it came time to meeting with her clients, the atmosphere was made comfortable with her calm demeanor and a clear vision of where the meeting had to start and end.This strong direction and control not only put her clients at ease but to help us gain an understanding of what the the next move was going to be and where we would ultimately end up- SUCCESSFUL!! Thank you very much Jessica for all your hard work and effort in making our working relationship a real pleasure!! Sincerely Bob Harrison CEO / EXECUTIVE CHEF CHEF A GOGO
