Our philosophy is one of obsessive attention to detail to ensure that each event we create is as personal as the people it celebrates. Our event design process has a lot to do with getting to know our clients, what their favorite Travel experiences are, their favorite style of dining, favorite arts & crafts, what music they enjoy listening to, where they love to shop; we truly get to know as much about our clients as we can to help us draw inspirations that we can include in their design elements to create that personal touch that makes their event unique and special to them.

From the Design Concept Inception to the Logistics of Planning to the Event Day Production, we leave no detail out.

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.

Jewel was an amazing coordinator for my wedding. She went above and beyond to make sure that our day was beautiful and special. Jewel is the perfect coordinator if you are looking for beauty, attention to detail, and professionalism. You will not regret it.

I got married less than 3 weeks ago, and I can definitely say that one of my best decisions during my engagement was hiring Jewel (TOJ events and designs) for the wedding planning and day of coordination. Jewel is very approachable, professional, flexible, timely, conscentious, organized, cost effective... the list goes on and on. I am a witness of how good she is with people, how calmly she handles stress and sudden changes, and how accomodating she is. Thanks jewel for your impeccable service that made my day such a beautiful and memorable one!

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!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
