About Jewel Odeyemi

Planning and organization have always come easy to me. In fact, my family and friends would say I’m obsessive about them! And something else I’m equally obsessive about is relationships. I thrive on forming relationships with those around me and getting to know them, what they love, and their hopes and dreams.

As someone who thrives on relationships and organization, becoming an event planner made perfect sense. But it took me a bit to get connected to my dream career. My family and friends recognized my knack for creating memorable events by allowing me to help them with their weddings and celebrations. I also got the honor of assisting with the coordination of a number of events in my work with the Fortune 500 company I was employed at as a VP of HR & Training Operations.

Fast forward to my own engagement, and in planning my own wedding, I realized that there weren’t a lot of high-caliber event planners in the Dallas area to help execute my vision. So, with my tenacious personality and obsessive eye for detail, I embarked on a two-year journey of planning my entire two-day wedding for over 800 guests myself, only hiring a month-of coordinator to pull everything together.

From planning my own wedding and other events as a hobby, one thing was clear—creating memorable moments through incredible celebrations was something that lit a fire in me, and I was really good at it. I knew I had to take that passion and channel it into a career.

Out of that passion, Touch of Jewel was born. Through my wedding and event production studio, I have the privilege of getting to play a role in some of life’s most important moments for my clients. I thrive on building intimate relationships that help me and the TOJ team build equally as intimate and personalized events that capture each of my client’s unique personalities.

My outgoing nature, eye for gorgeous designs, and meticulous planning and coordination skills are the ideal fit for anyone looking for a seamless and memorable event that will leave guests talking for years to come. Whether you are planning the wedding of your dreams, your child’s first birthday, or the corporate bash of the century, it is my honor and privilege to help you bring your vision to life.

My designs have caught the eye of a number of notable organizations and publications. TOJ has been recognized as BRIDES Magazine Top 100 Wedding Planners, BCollective Best Wedding Planner, and Dallas A List Best Wedding Planner Winner. Our work has also been featured in VOGUE, Essence, Munaluchi Bride, B Collective Mag, Grace Ormonde Wedding Style, Inside Weddings, Black Bride 1998, Bella Naija Weddings, NBC 5, Good Morning Texas, WFAA TV and many more.

When I’m not planning and executing events, I’m trying to keep up with my husband and two active boys. Together, we enjoy working out in our home gym, listening to music and dancing and traveling to explore different cities and countries in the world. When I need some me time, you can catch me drinking a cup of tea during the day while cooking or baking and sipping a glass of wine or one of my cocktail mixes at night while keeping up on current events and trends in the event industry.

Amazing experience at a wedding planned by TOJ

I attended a wedding that Jewel hosted in July 2019. The level of professionalism and organization I witnessed her and her team serve is one that I have truly never experienced before at any wedding.

Right from wedding the ceremony/exchange of vows to the reception, the couple and guests were all properly catered to. Everything was so orderly and communication around cocktail hour or just addressing questions was so transparent and cordial. Jewel and her team were super focused on ensuring everyone was having a good time. It really was an enjoyable experience.

Customer service was 10/10 and till date, we can’t stop talking about the event. Will definitely recommend to anyone who is looking to book her services for any future event.

If you're having second thoughts about booking TOJ for your wedding or any other event DONT!!! because having her and her team plan our wedding was one of the best decisions we made. She took the stress off the planning process and handled every stumbling block like a pro/you effortlessly. Our wedding was in May and I still get compliments about how our wedding was not like every other typical Nigerian wedding because it was well coordinated. Doyin and her team were very professional.

I can not express the words of how to describe how AMAZING is Jewel and her staff! I recently had a wedding during the month of April and was an out of town Bride planning an wedding 5 States over...needless to say I was extremely overstressed and that is an understatement. Approximately 3 1/2 weeks before my wedding I was in dire need of professional help to execute my special day. I reached out and hired Jewel as my wedding planner...and I can truely say it was the #1 Best decision I made during my entire wedding planning process!! Jewel (I.e. “Super Jewel” as she has been coined in my family lol) stepped in took over everything and executed flawlessly. Please listen....3 1/2 week’s before my wedding and Jewel was my lifesaver! I had the best wedding Officiant, Decorating Company, High Fashion Name brand wedding shoes(discounted price), etc...the list goes on! Jewel was 100% responsive to all of my request and concerns, text, email, phone calls all hours of the day it didn’t matter what time it was Jewel was there responding and providing the answers!!! Jewel ensured that my vision and expectations was overly exceeded and provided me my “Fairytale/Royal Wedding” Day!! Our Wedding Day is still the talk among both my side and my Husband’s side of the family. EVERYONE continues to talk about how amazing Jewel and her team was in executing such an extravagant event and the professionalism, knowledgeable, kindness, accommodating, humble characteristics of her and her team! Please, if you are planning an Wedding or any large event/production please don’t second think about hiring Jewel as your Planner...she is the key to make all your envisioned dreams come true!

Having Jewel as our wedding planner was undoubtedly the best decision we made. She is incredibly good at her job and has great relationships with every vendor you could think of. We went with all her vendor recommendations and they were excellent, no regrets. She is very very detail oriented, doesn't leave anything to chance and you can rest assured that nothing will fall through the cracks. She is also highly skilled at managing family/friend dynamics on the wedding day and that is priceless. The couple is her priority and everything that she does is to make them happy and stress free. We had an amazing time and didn't have to worry about a single thing. This is not an exaggeration- Jewel is THE wedding planner every couple should have!

The best planner!! Everybody at my wedding text me after about her awesomeness. We left money(cash) at the venue and she hound us down to make sure we got I.T. I knew exactly what I wanted and she we above and beyond. BTW, the discounts she gets you will save more at the end than not having her!!!

Jewel and her team were simply amazing in every way. Although my work and travel schedule did not permit time for us to meet in person, Jewel was very accommodating in providing a vision that met our wedding budget's price point while still exceeding our expectations. After our initial email, Jewel took the initiative to view our ceremony and reception venues (even without a contract in place!) to provide insight of what she believed would align to my vision as a bride within the budget I had outlined for her. Throughout the months after, she and her team were timely with communication and helped to keep me on track, despite both of us being very busy! The day of the wedding was stress-free, and my guests and I were in awe of the beautiful environment that she had prepared for us. Romantic, timeless, and classic are all words that described both the decor and Jewel herself. Her passion for her craft is evident, and I am so thankful for her commitment to her brides and the execution of their visions.

I certainly recommend having not just any planner help you plan your wedding day, but hiring one as diligent and attentive to details as touch of Jewel. I initially had plans to be a DIY Bride but somehow I still had a consultation with Jewel because I was curious. After that first consultation, I dropped my crown as the DIY lady and knew I NEEDED Jewel to plan our wedding.

Jewel listened to everything I wanted and seemed to know the things I'd forgotten to mention. She allowed me the freedom of sharing my dreams with her and executed them leaving me with no stress on our wedding day.
The pure joy my husband and I felt going into our wedding ceremony and seeing everything work out so flawlessly is seriously beyond description. 7 months later, I am back here to write my review because each time we watch our wedding video or look at our pictures, I am reminded of how amazing TOJ was! Delivery beyond expectations! Life has been going on fast-forwward since our wedding, but I made it a note to do this before our 1 year anniversary. LOL

Yup I was a procrastinator. MORE reasons why TOJ was a necessity in my life. Lol.. I remember I would forget to sign contracts and she would remind me of the importance of signing them after she read over each and every word and made sure I understood them.

I Love everything about Touch of Jewel! From the professionalism, to the personal relationship I developed with Jewel. She is awesome at what she do and she has one awesome team that back her up! At first I was the bride that thought I could handle everything...Planning a wedding, how hard could that be? RIGHT? I was sooooo wrong. I could not put into words how many details go into planning a wedding. From the cake, to the food, pictures,lights, video, decor, DJ, wedding favors, guest count, invitations, and that's just to name a few. This is suppose to be the most special moment in your life and if you have to worry about all these things and more you could only imagine how stressed out you will be on your big day! Having Jewel there to help put our minds at ease. She kept track of all our vendors, also kept our bridal party informed of everything that was happening. We was able to enjoy our day as we should. Hiring Jewel will be the best decision you make when it comes to your wedding, she makes you feel like your day is the most important day in the world. She is also very passionate about what she does and she treats your day as if she's planning her own, ( but with your idea's, oh course). Basically saying that she will put her all in making your day perfect. My family no longer sees her as our wedding planner, we see her as our life long friend!

Jewel and the Touch of Jewel team provided exceptional service throughout the planning and coordination of our wedding. Jewel is very attentive to detail and very personable.
She significantly reduced the stress of our wedding planning and we are so grateful.
