Cork & Vows

tner, a creative collaborator, and someone who genuinely cared about helping us bring our vision to life. She took the time to truly understand who we are as a couple, what mattered most to us, and how we wanted our guests to feel throughout the day. Her expertise and calm confidence were invaluable throughout the entire planning process. She guided us through countless decisions (big and small) with such grace and clarity, always offering thoughtful insights and options that reflected both her deep experience and her intuitive sense of what would make the day uniquely ours. She balanced creativity with practicality in a way that made everything feel effortless, even when we knew there were a hundred moving parts behind the scenes. In the months leading up to the wedding, she became our anchor. Her communication was impeccable and always proactive. She kept everyone aligned: vendors, family members (don’t underestimate the value of this!), wedding party, venue staff, all while making sure we never felt overwhelmed. She gave us peace of mind and developed complete trust that allowed us to truly enjoy the process. And then came the wedding day itself and it was perfect. Jessica orchestrated every detail with precision and heart. She managed the timeline flawlessly, handled transitions with such ease that we never even noticed the moving pieces, and somehow created little pockets of quiet for us to pause and take it all in together. She anticipated needs we didn’t even know we had, and her calm presence kept everyone relaxed and joyful. What stood out most was her ability to blend professionalism with genuine care. She executed the plan flawlessly while ensuring that every moment felt authentic to us. Thanks to her, we were able to stay present, soak in the love around us, and know that everything was being handled beautifully. We’re endlessly grateful for her dedication, artistry, and heart. Our wedding was everything we dreamed of, and it simply wouldn’t have been possible without her. If you’re lucky enough to have Cork & Vows on your team, know that you’ll have a true partner who will bring your vision to life and make your day unforgettable. Jessica — thank you so much for all your help through this incredible chapter of our lives. We had the time of our lives, and we can’t imagine our wedding without your dedication, expertise, and warmth! We’ll see you at the anniversary party(s) to come! Megan and Chris 

everything myself, I am so, so eternally thankful that we hired Jess. She went above and beyond, far earlier in the process than she needed to, helping us with details and decisions that didn’t even cross my mind. And then came the big day, and this is where Jess really, truly shines (not that she’s not fantastic the rest of the time, too, obviously!). She keeps everything light and fun, but she’s insanely prepared and organized. I swear she was in five different places at once, coordinating vendors and DIY efforts alike, making sure everything went to plan. She didn’t just bring our vision to life, she made it better than we ever could’ve imagined. And everyone who got the chance to interact with Jess immediately saw how great she was — both as a professional and a person. Our parents loved her, our friends loved her, and we love her — and you will, too.

anized and on track so that we could stay stress free and really just enjoy the wedding planning process. Her wealth of experience and wedding industry connections were so helpful and made us feel so confident while planning our wedding. She really cares so much about her couples and puts her whole heart into making sure their wedding day is exactly how they envision it! Our wedding day was perfect and ran so smoothly all thanks to Jessica, we love her and can’t recommend her enough!!

indness, empathy, and a sense of urgency. Even though they were hired as a “day-of” coordinator, it was clear they were invested well before the big day. They were SUPER reliable. She checked in with us beyond the anticipated regular check in calls and always gave us extra attention, advice, time, or direction when we needed it. She never made us feel like we were asking too much of her. Beyond being able to rely on her, I just felt so comfortable with her. People love her, listen to her, and respect her. Especially other vendors. This makes her stand out amongst other coordinators. My wedding party, friends and family also loved her. She was great at giving direction, helping people know where they needed to be & when, as well as what they had to do. She can be stern when needed, which is really appreciated amongst the complexity of a wedding day. She can work independently, especially on the day off. I didn’t have to micromanage her. She understood our vision and just executed. Because of Jessica, we were able to be fully present, savor every moment, and not worry about logistics for even a second. I’ve had multiple guests tell me how flawless & smooth everything felt, and I know that’s thanks to Jessica’s work happening quietly and expertly behind the scenes. Just hire Jessica, you will be happy you did. I cannot recommend them enough! Thank you Jessica!!!!

ndest, most genuine people I’ve ever met. Her warmth, energy, and passion for what she does shine through in every interaction. People always say your wedding day is the happiest day of your life—but for us, it truly was thanks to Jessica. From the early planning stages through the final moments of our celebration, everything was seamless. She and her team were beyond organized, calm under pressure, and fully in control in the best way. Guests even commented on how flawless the entire day felt, noting that you could clearly tell this wasn’t just a "day-of" coordination but that Jessica and her team run a tight ship and created such a special day for all. Jessica offers a variety of packages to fit different needs, and no matter which one you choose, you’re in the best hands. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your event like her own, look no further. I couldn’t recommend Cork & Vows more—you absolutely won’t regret it!

before the big day as well as the month before...she provided so much more guidance via monthly phone calls and unlimited e-mails leading up to that point. She brings a plethora of experience as a wedding planner in the Carmel, CA area and we feel lucky to have stumbled upon her. She is easy going and relaxed, but at the same time beyond professional and gets things done if she sees things are not going according to plan. She trouble shoots with ease, and brings such a happy and vibrant character to your wedding. Her assistant, Sydney, was just as awesome as Jessica, providing positive yet detail-oriented support. Hire Cork and Vows...you will not be disappointed...Jessica and her team ROCK!!!

organized, reliable, and tech savvy. She taught me how to pay attention to detail, interact with clients in a respectful and engaging way, and most of all, she always led with positivity. :She is personable and truly cares about everyone who is lucky enough to be in her orbit. It’s too bad I got married over twenty years ago because I’d hire her in a heartbeat. I have no doubt she can make anyone’s wedding day magical!

anticipatory service… she knew what I needed before I knew I needed it! She’s also so thoughtful and caring, you could tell she really loves what she does and she wants the best for the couples she works with. Our wedding was the absolute best day of our lives, and we are so glad to have chosen Cork and Vows!
