Jennie Sent on 09/08/2021Jess is a magician with decor and florals!
We recently worked together on a destination elopement in Southern Utah with a tight timeline, and in 20 minutes, (not to mention the 103-degree weather) she pulled it all together flawlessly!
She is organized, has a great attitude, and is fun to be around!!!
As a co-vendor for weddings and elopements, I highly recommend her for your wedding planning and floral needs! -

Jessica played a HUGE role in saving our wedding, as we moved our wedding venue from an established location to a backyard wedding. Everything was DIY and she took our items and vision and made it a masterpiece. Everything was BEAUTIFUL and everything we imagined and more. Not only did she set up and execute the wedding of our dreams, she coordinated our ceremony rehearsal in the pouring rain with no complaints and even brought a set of umbrellas for our wedding party and ensured everyone knew what they needed to do the following day. The day of the wedding was flawless - she arrived at the perfect time and took the stress right out of our hands. She coordinated with vendors as they arrived and set up, she directed us as we walked out of the ceremony to ensure perfect spacing and timing and she was our right hand woman throughout the entire event. Her personality is one for the books and we couldn't have chosen a better planner/coordinator. Jessica exceeded our expectations 100% and we absolutely recommend her for your special day! -

Jess is literally the first step to a dream team of wedding vendors! We often think of a venu + photographer when picking our first vendors but I highly recommend having picking a planner being one of the first things you do! As a wedding vendor AND bride to be myself I have not only seen the work of Jess personally, I have worked professionally with her on many shoots and weddings and she is always blowing me away each time! Her designs are unique, her personality is passionate and kind, and I happily refer my wedding clients to Jess! -

Photographer
I’ve been lucky enough to work with Jess on a few educations and literally cannot say enough about her. She is so creative and brought whatever convoluted vision I had to life for a beautiful elopement shoot. She was great at listening to me, coming up with things I had never even thought of, and executing those ideas to perfection. As a photographer I’ve worked with a lot of planners and designers that kind of end up leading the couple in the direction that they want (not the couple) because it’ll be cool for their portfolio or it’s the trendy thing to be doing but Jess actually listens to her clients and makes sure that their personality is reflected in the event and styling of the day, which I so so appreciate. Jess is also an incredibly fun and calming presence to have the day of. Whenever there’s an issue, which there always inevitably is, she takes care of it without the client ever knowing that there was something up in the first place. She takes so much stress away it is so invaluable. Also working with a planner is a long process and she’s just an absolute blast to have on your team throughout it all. When I get married I already know for a fact I’ll have Jess planning it all! -

I had the pleasure of collaborating with Jess on a styled shoot a couple weeks ago. She designed the whole shoot and it was the shoot of my dreams. The details were beautiful and fit the setting perfectly. You can tell Jess LOVES what she does and was so dedicated to making the day run smoothly and for it to look awesome. She was walking barefoot around in the mud setting everything up so she'd be perfect an awesome nature-loving couple! She even dug another photographer's shoe out of the foot deep mud. I'd recommend Jess to anyone planning a wedding! -

Beth Sent on 12/11/2022Great eye for design but doesn't make the cut for medium weddings
If you're planning a medium+ wedding, I would not recommend hiring Jess.
First, I'll start with the positives: Jess did an AMAZING job with the flowers. We had hired her as our florist and I would highly recommend her for all of your floral needs. In addition to that I do think she has a good eye for design / aesthetics.
Unfortunately the negatives far outweigh the positives. We had a wedding of ~115 people. I believe Jess specializes in smaller weddings / elopements, and when we asked about her experience with weddings around our size she said it was no problem and she does these weddings all the time. Specifically, we were looking for a planner that was on the creative side as we do not have an eye for that kind of thing. That was the main reason we went with Jess - we really liked her vibe. The main lesson learned is that while creativity is nice, you really want to work with someone who is organized, proactive, and communicative. Jess was none of those things. We had to constantly stay on top of her, and if we didn't have a meeting we would go a month+ without hearing from her. When we did reach out, usually there was a huge time lag. Her auto-response said 48-72 hours, but I'd have to set myself reminders to follow-up with her a week later as I knew it was likely I wouldn't get a response. I do not believe Jess reached out to confirm vendors as I did that myself and one of our main vendors didn't even realize we had a wedding planner. Even simple things like putting together a schedule for the weekend to share with our family/wedding party, she just copy/pasted from the other vendors and didn't take the time to put anything in a chronological order to make it a comprehensive schedule. Luckily, I had a template from a friend that her wedding planner used and just did it myself.
We even had a meeting with Jess to talk about how poorly things were going and an action plan to turn things around (we were ready to fire her). While things got better for a short period, they quickly reverted back to lack of communication, disorganization, etc. My biggest regret is not firing her when we had the chance earlier on in the process. Working with Jess created more stress than I think it would have been just doing it myself and hiring a month-of coordinator.
If you're looking for someone for a small wedding or elopement, it seems like she does great with that from the reviews; and if you're looking for a florist I highly recommend her. But learn from our mistake and if you are having a somewhat larger wedding, hire someone who specializes in that size.
