(Applies to Jessica as our day-of coordinator, as I live out of state and sadly wasn't able to shop there!)
If I had to boil this review down to just six words: best money you will ever spend. Seriously, Jessica was the most phenomenal aspect of our day. A cousin of ours used Jessica as her day of coordinator for her wedding a few years ago. When we were talking to her about whether it was money well spent, here’s one thing she shared that helped us decide. On her wedding day, the porta-potty apparently ran out of toilet paper and Jessica replaced it without anyone even knowing. It sounds silly (it is), but something in my head clicked that I didn’t want to worry about toilet paper on the wedding day. The ironic thing is, Jessica arrived at our venue a few hours before the ceremony literally right as our bathroom ran out of toilet paper and my maid of honor was stranded in there until someone could find some. So, look at that! Didn’t have to worry about toilet paper. :)
On a more serious note, Jessica is single-handedly the reason why things went smoothly. It poured rain the entire day of our wedding and we didn’t have much of plan B. Jess remained calm and patient through it all. When we were taking formal pictures and the wind was whipping part of my hair around in my face, Jessica pulled an extra bobby pin out of her own hair and pinned mine back up. When she noticed I was cold, she went and found me a cardigan. She kept a fresh cold drink in our hands all night. It seems like inconsequential little stuff that someone could have handled for us and I’m sure my maid of honor or mom or someone would have done those things. But because Jessica was there, those people were able to just be present in the moment with me. They weren’t running around finding a safety pin when the hook on my dress broke or looking for a pen when it was time to sign the marriage license. They were by my side getting to celebrate with me, because we had Jessica.
