Cruz Coordination

We cannot express enough how absolutely phenomenal Jessica was throughout our entire wedding planning journey. From the very beginning, her attention to detail was impeccable, helping to ensure that every aspect of our big day was tailored to perfection. Since we are not from Charleston, Jessica's vendor recommendations were a game-changer! Each one she suggested fit our vision and budget perfectly. And the fact that she was always available to hop on a call whenever I had even the tiniest of questions provided a level of comfort and confidence that every bride and groom should experience. Her organizational skills ensured that the whole wedding planning process was smooth, and the timeline she established was adhered to without a hitch. Come the day of our wedding, everything flowed seamlessly. Jessica's meticulous planning, coordination, and dedication culminated in what was nothing short of a fairytale event. We didn't have to stress or worry about a single detail, thanks to her. To all the couples out there in search of a planner who will go above and beyond to help make your wedding dreams a reality, look no further than Jessica. She's a gem in the wedding industry, and we are forever grateful for her unparalleled service and expertise. Thank you, Jessica, for making our day truly unforgettable!

Jessica and her team were very thoughtful and intentional! We could not have done it without her, with her years of experience she knew exactly what she was doing and thought of every detail. The day was absolutely flawless as she ran the show in the background while making me, the bride, feel celebrated all day!!

The quality of service that Jessica gave us for our wedding was more than we could have ever imagined. During our rehearsal and wedding day Jessica made sure that we had absolutely no worries. The planning leading up was also amazing, she always made sure that we were on track and answered all of our questions. There aren’t enough words to describe how happy we are with using Jessica. If there was a way to give her more than 5 stars, I would do it.

If you are getting married in Charleston look no further than Jessica Cruz!! It was the best wedding decision (and most important one) me made! We are based in Boston and she absolutely made the entire expereience stress free from day 1!! Jessica is upbeat, kind but on her game! We had inclemental weather and she made our wedding even better than we had oringinally planned (unreal!!!). We are forever grateful and indebted to Jessica and cant recommend her enough for your special day!

Working with Jessica was the best choice I made while wedding planning. She was kind, understanding and INCREDIBLY on top of things. Leading up to the wedding she was communicative and asked questions for things I hadn't even thought of. For the day of I was able to sit back and enjoy the day knowing that she had everything covered and running smoothly!

Words cannot describe how grateful I am for Jessica! She is absolutely amazing. There is no way I would’ve been able to plan our wedding at the William Aiken House without her. She truly made our wedding vision come to life. We are from out of town, and she helped us coordinate the wedding seamlessly from afar. She was super helpful with all of her suggestions, and very responsive with getting back to all of my questions. She is extremely knowledgeable and professional. She really put me at ease, especially on our wedding day! It was totally stress free and everything was truly perfect. Even the placement of all the wedding decor I brought - she displayed it perfectly! I cannot recommend Jessica enough. Do not hesitate to book with her, she is the BEST!

Jessica is truly the best of the best. I don’t know how to write words to describe how amazing she is, but please trust me. To anyone reading this… HIRE HER!! She was there for almost a year and a half helping this type b personality get it together for the most epic day ever. She makes you feel like you are the ONLY wedding and bride she has. She goes above and beyond to make you feel so special and I can’t believe we got so lucky to find her. If there were 10 stars they would be hers

From our first phone call, I knew she was the one! Hands down, the best wedding planner there ever was! Jessica is more than a planner, she treats you like a friend. She is incredibly responsive and a consummate professional. Anytime you have a question, she provides the most comprehensive answer. At the start of our outdoor reception, we had an unexpected storm roll in off the coast--fast and furiously with high winds and sideways rain. Jessica leapt into action and made some quick decisions to ensure that our event was as minimally disrupted as possible. Undoubtedly a highly stressful situation for her, but as a bride, all I ever saw was her calm demeanor and a warm reassuring smile. Even in what I can only imagine was pure chaos behind the scenes, she still continuously checked in, made sure we got to enjoy our hor d'oeuvres and our dinner, and always kept a drink in our hands! I didn’t worry about a thing! She is simply AMAZING! We had a magical night and a wedding dream come true!

I can't even begin to explain how awesome and how thankful we are for Jessica Cruz and Cruz Coordination. Right from the start Jessica made us feel welcomed and we could tell that she wanted our day to be just as special as we wanted it to be. Great communication and coordination, down to the last detail. She always had an answer and great advice along the way. Others have said it, but we'll repeat it - If you're in the Charleston Area, this is your wedding coordination team. We would give greater than a 5 star rating if we could!

Jessica was truly the MVP of our wedding! We were on the fence about getting a planner, but ultimately had to because of our venue - and we are SO GLAD that we had Jessica! I was pretty much never stressed throughout the entire planning process. We were able to fully enjoy our engagement because we weren't overwhelmed with wedding planning! Jessica let us know exactly what information she needed from us, what decisions we needed to make and by when, and gave all of her expert opinion in guiding us for decisions! We never had to worry about forgetting an important detail, because Jessica was on top of it. She was incredibly professional and responsive, but was also just the nicest person which made it seem like you were working with an old friend! On the day of, she was an absolute life-saver. She took care of overseeing all of the setup, was there anytime I needed her for a last-minute dress mishap and figuring out how to put on my veil, and when we had an accidental glass breakage, she was there in seconds with a broom to sweep up the glass! She also was continuously checking in on us to make sure we always had a drink, got a chance to eat, and that we were having the best night ever! I cannot recommend Jessica enough. She was by far our most important vendor and worth every penny. If you want someone who will execute your dream wedding flawlessly at a reasonable price, then Cruz Coordination is the way to go!

Working with Jessica to coordinate our wedding day was the best decision we made throughout the planning process. We decided on her partial planning services and from day 1 she was so responsive and informative in every decision we made. She provided so many options when it came to vendors, helped us get discounts with rentals, brainstormed ideas for rain plans, transportation, ceremony flow, and so much more. My husband was deployed through much of the planning process, and I cannot express fully how much it meant to me to have her be so excited during the walk through, tastings, linen selection, & other decisions while he was gone. Jessica went above and beyond during our wedding week - coordinating with all vendors, our venue, and us - to make sure everyone was on the same page. The rehearsal was so organized, all our people knew exactly how things would run day of and Jessica was so approachable if people had questions. Our wedding ended up being so absolutely perfect because of her. The timing, placement, & flow of everything was so smooth and made it stress free for us. If you are thinking of hiring Jessica DO IT because she’s amazing, kind, fun, and so on top of it! We love you Jessica! - Claire & Robbie

Without a doubt, Jessica Cruz is the BEST wedding coordinator in the business! I feel so very fortunate to have found her to help plan and coordinate my daughter's wedding at Magnolia Plantation Carriage House one month ago today. Jessica was absolutely wonderful to work with throughout the wedding planning journey but she and her staff were truly amazing on the day of the wedding. She orchestrated an absolutely fairytale wedding for my beautiful daughter! From day one, Jessica has been a wealth of knowledge and so kind to work with. When its time for our second daughter to marry, my very first call will be to Jessica!

How do I begin to describe Jessica? Fantastic, knowledgable, fun, kind, organized, and amazing are all simply an understatement. After phone interviewing various planners, I immediately knew that Jessica was my girl just after the first few minutes of talking. She was extremely professional yet I felt like I was also talking to a good friend! My husband and I live in New York full time and were very nervous to plan a wedding from afar. Jessica made this extremely easy. Her organization through various schedules and documents helped keep us on track and consider things we never would have never thought of ourselves. She was always on top of getting in touch via email, text, and phone call. When we finally met in person, a year after we started working together, it was like meeting up with a best friend. We chatted about all things wedding and got to know each other over drinks and great food. This was by far one of the best parts of my wedding planning experience! Jessica kept in constant contact with me throughout my wedding week. The day before the wedding, I texted Jessica panicking because the weather was supposed to be terrible. Jessica immediately eased my nerves and took care of everything. Even in strong winds and cold/rainy weather, she made sure every flower, napkin, decoration, and food item was in place. Not to mention, she checked in constantly with me and my husband to make sure we had everything we needed. I feel incredibly lucky that Cannon Green recommended Jessica. She is the reason why our wedding turned out amazing, and why I felt immensely taken care of throughout the wedding planning process. I cannot recommend this fantastic lady enough. You will be in the best of hands by hiring her has your wedding planner!

Jessica is hands down the absolute best wedding planner. She really listens to any concerns, questions, or suggestions you have about the big day. We hired Jessica for the month of wedding planner and she was on top of everything! What makes Jessica different is that she went out of her way to walk one of my guest a couple blocks from the venue to their car. That right means the world to me! I recommend Jessica to all brides!

Jessica was hands down the BEST decision we made for our wedding. If I could give her a million stars, I would. I can't say enough good things. From vendor knowledge to decor ideas, she made the planning process seamless and was there every step of the way to answer any questions we had. Not only was planning process easy, she made the day of our wedding absolutely perfect. She made sure our venue looked exactly how we imagined. She made sure everyone was where they needed to be. She made sure we ate and always had a drink fresh drink. She even helped when my dress lost a button. It was truly more than I could have ever expected. Jessica is so good at what she does and makes you feel at ease with the whole process. My only wish is that I could have hired her for longer - it went too fast. :)

Jessica Cruz is an absolute rockstar coordinator!! I can't recommend her enough! We were having a destination wedding in Charleston and I reached out to multiple planners/coordinators. Jessica was the first to respond and instantly wanted to get to know us and our vision, it was a no brainer to go with her. She was amazing at handling all of the little details and was 100% the reason our day was so perfect. Loved working with her!

Jessica made our day perfect! She helped make decisions when we were too overwhelmed and she coordinated everything we didn’t even know we needed. She is super responsive to emails and was incredibly organized. We felt very confident in her abilities to pull off our celebration. We loved every moment of it. We’re so thankful for her help!

I can not even begin to explain how much I would HIGHLY recommend Jessica for a wedding planner. When I started planning our wedding Covid wasn't even around and we were planning a destination wedding. Jessica was able to recommend all of my vendors (which were all just as amazing as her) and kept me organized planning a destination wedding during a pandemic. I wasn't able to travel to Charleston as much as I wanted during the process (covid) but Jessica made everything so easy doing it all virtually. One of my biggest concerns from the beginning was that my brother was going to be our officiant so I needed someone who could really guide us through the ceremony process. When I told her this she was so on board with it and so supportive and helpful (of course, it all turned out perfect!). There are so many details to the wedding that I didn't even think about because of her. Her organized timeline for the day of was a life saver for our families and bridal party and us too. She was responsive, informed, supportive, fun and energetic throughout the whole process. I would say I was most impressed with Jessica on the day of (which is hard to say because I was so impressed the whole time). I literally did nothing for myself on the day of! She was at the venue in the morning organizing all the vendors and every time I saw her she was asking me what I needed (usually it was a glass of champagne, which she always had for me!). She knew exactly what to do and where to be and made me feel like I knew what I was doing. I can't even put into words how amazing she was to work with. I text her the night before the wedding (at 9pm, when nothing was open) wanting to add some outside heaters to the venue. She immediately took care of it and had the heaters at the venue the next morning at 9am (She's magic I tell ya!!) I could keep going on and on about her but you need to find out for yourself!!! If you want the most carefree, enjoyable day of your life HIRE JESSICA!! My parents were also very very pleased with her and everything she did for them. She always made sure to meet our families and take care of them as well. She seriously thought of everything!! Our day wouldn't have been as perfect without her!!

WHERE DO I EVEN START? Jessica is AMAZINNNNNGGG. Planning a destination wedding during a global pandemic was less than ideal, but Jessica made everything so much easier. I am extremely disorganized and a huge procrastinator which is probably a wedding planners worst nightmare, although I would have never known it working with Jessica. She was so patient, organized, kind, helpful, and reassuring. I truly thought I was going to have a stroke the week before my wedding since my guest count was dropping like flies, but Jessica kept me calm and helped me to rearrange our seating chart and rental order 70000 times. She is only a "partial" planner, but I felt like she did SO MUCH for me down to providing sparklers for our wedding exit that I WAS SUPPOSED TO ORDER AND DIDN'T. My wedding would not have happened without her. If you are questioning who to hire for your wedding planner, STOP HERE AND HIRE JESSICA ASAP. You will not be disappointed.

Jessica was amazing to work with and we couldn't have done it without her! Thank you for helping us navigate the wedding world especially with all of the ups and downs of 2020. There are so many details that go into planning a wedding and I can't imagine having to do it on our own. Our day was perfect and I felt like a guest at my own wedding which is exactly what I wanted!

Well here we are, September of 2020! What a year to have a Charleston destination wedding planned for last April, then rescheduled to Sept. 18th! A real challenge to say the least!!! And who was our leader navigating us?? Jessica Cruz! We have three daughters and this was our 3rd and last wedding to plan. All I can say is, from start to finish, Jessica provided us with by far the best experience ever! She was so professional, yet very personable. Her attention to detail, every detail, was amazing! She was calm throughout and we knew we were in great hands at all times!! When we were forced to postpone the wedding due to corona, she contacted all of our vendors to make sure they were open for the new date and was so helpful in passing on any discounts that they might offer! Every single Vendor that we selected from her list was outstanding to work with! After planning 3 weddings, I have a bit of experience working with caterers, florists, lighting and rental companies, and these Vendors really exceeded our expectations!! We received comments all evening like, “the best food we’ve ever had at a wedding”. and “ the flowers, lighting, etc are just gorgeous”! I am someone that always notices the details and “sweats the small stuff” and the whole week of, I felt totally relaxed and worry free! All of that is due to Jessica and her staff. We wholeheartedly recommend Cruz Coordination!! Don’t plan your wedding without them!!

Planning a wedding in Charleston when you live in Florida can be very challenging. Fortunately for us, I stumbled upon Cruz Coordination by way of another wedding planner who mainly dealt with weddings of 200+ guests. When a wedding planner recommends another wedding planner to you, chances are they are name dropping someone great from experience or word of mouth. Enter Jessica Cruz... If I had a place to write a headline it would read "Meticulous wedding planning done by your best friend." Stumbling upon Jessica Cruz was the absolute luckiest and best thing that could have happened for us and our special day. She is meticulous, thorough, engaging, supportive, loving, caring, thoughtful and more importantly she treats you like family. Its almost like our wedding was her own. Jessica Cruz is the first and last person I would recommend to anyone for wedding planning although I know she is probably excellent at many other things. For you brides out there, one thing you must know is that my wife had ZERO complaints and no issues with our wedding day. My wife still raves on about how amazing Jessica was and what a phenomenal job she did for us. For a coordinator to pull off a flawless wedding at Lowndes Grove with lots of moving parts means she is absolutely a consummate professional. If I had to do it all over again, I would have Jessica Cruz plan the whole thing again. If you are looking for a wonderful, detail oriented, well known and respected wedding coordinator in the Charleston area look no further than our friend, Jessica Cruz.

Jessica is amazing!! A tropical storm came through the day of my wedding. I landed in Charleston a couple of days prior to the wedding and Jessica went into full gear to put together a plan B for my outdoor venue. She was able to find a clear tent (hours away) and put up sides since the winds were supposed to be up to 60 mph. Even though the whole plan changed just 2 days before, Jessica was able to make the inside of the tent truly magical. I was completely at ease because I knew she would make it perfect and she sure did deliver!! She is amazing! Not only day of, but she helped my husband and I through the whole process of planning and didn't forget a single detail. She is super organized and well connected with all the vendors in the area. I cannot recommend her enough!! Best decision!

Jessica was my daughter’s wedding coordinator October 5, 2019. She was invaluable in this process. Jessica gave us options for the things my daughter knew she wanted and made suggestions regarding other vendors, etc., some necessary, some optional. Jessica was never “pushy” and respected our wishes and facilitated my daughter having her “dream” wedding. The day of the wedding Jessica took care of everything from scheduling to vendors and assuring everything was the way we planned. We just showed up and had a great time. She responds promptly to questions and any issues that arise. I highly recommend Cruz Coordination!!

Working with Jessica and team was a dream! Jessica is so organized, professional, and always has a great attitude. She thinks of everything and makes sure no detail is missed. Because of Jessica and her team, our wedding day was stress-free. To be specific, here are some of my favorite things about Jessica. She has top-notch vendor recommendations and she doesn't let just anyone go on her list. Everyone she recommended was wonderful to work with but she was also excellent with our vendors/friends involved in the wedding as well. She contacted everyone involved and made sure all were on the same page. Her experience and knowledge of vendors was so valuable. Secondly, we really appreciated that Jessica gave honest opinions. She always steered us in the right direction, keeping in mind our budget and wasn't afraid to push back for our benefit. She's the expert - trust her opinion. Lastly, Jessica is a ton of fun and looks out for your best interest. On our wedding day, Jessica and Heidi were so attentive, organized and joyful. They made sure we stayed hydrated and happy ( I love how they would dance on and off the dance floor to give us water and drinks, never letting the party stop.) They roll with the punches and mishaps (as are bound to happen) with grace and poise. I cannot recommend Jessica enough!

If you are searching for a partial planner, or are trying to decide *whether* to hire a planner, I cannot recommend Jessica enough! We had a big backyard wedding, and Jessica went above and beyond to help us make the day a great one. She is prompt and incredibly detailed in her communication, amazing with the timeline and layouts, and was instrumental in organizing the numerous rentals a large outdoor event requires. When, in a crazy turn of events, our neighbors planned a wedding for the same night, Jessica graciously helped us rework our plan for another space. While we hope no other couples (or Jessica) have to go through anything similar, the fact that she was able to handle the shift with such aplomb (and, in fact, helped make our plan B even more magical!) testifies to what an amazing planner and person she is. She is fantastic at balancing details and the big picture, and noticed so many things in the planning and week-of setup that made the day all the better. We are incredibly thankful to her for helping us to create a night beyond our biggest dreams.

Jessica is a real life Wonder Woman. We planned from out of state and every means of communication with Jessica from the very start was such a pleasure! I have never met a more organized human being—she truly knows how to run the show leading up to, and on the day of a wedding. Jessica went above and beyond to make sure every detail was hit and every box was checked off. My entire wedding party kept commenting on how fantastic she was, everyone was truly impressed. I can't tell if it was the sheer happiness of us surrounded by family & friends, or just how much I loved working with her (perhaps a mix of the two), but I felt compelled to hug her at every interaction on our wedding day. She was so thoughtful in making sure we were taken care of, we were so thankful to have her there! The day went flawlessly, the planning was precise and organized, everything Jessica touched came out perfectly. Look no further, this is the person you want leading the charge for your big day! Thank you again Jessica for making our day incredible!

Jessica Cruz is beyond amazing!!! I can’t even begin to describe all of the reasons why! I honestly was sad once our wedding day arrived and I realized that I wouldn’t stay in constant communication with her as I had over the past year as she helped me plan our wedding day she is so gracious and professional all the while making sure ever single detail was on point!! Do yourself a HUGE favor and hire her it will make your wedding planning process enjoyable and your wedding day stress free and perfect!

Needless to say wedding planning is no easy task and planning a destination wedding simply adds more complications. Jessica executed our wedding day flawlessly. Throughout our engagement she was responsive and her attention to detail was outstanding. There was not one stone left unturned. I was most impressed with our actual wedding day and how smoothly everything ran. Even with last minute ceremony location, it was so effortless and there were no hiccups that my husband and I truly enjoyed ourselves and did not have a single thing to worry about. Jessica was an angel and I thank her for everything she did to make out wedding dreams come true!

I cannot say enough nice things about Jessica! I am so happy we decided to hire her as our wedding planner. Not only did she do a fantastic job herself, but she recommended us to almost all of our other amazing vendors. I was a bit nervous about planning a wedding remotely from South Florida, but our wedding day turned out absolutely perfect thanks to her hard work and attention to detail. She is so organized and thinks of absolutely EVERYTHING. I would highly, highly recommend her to any brides-to-be getting married in the Charleston area! Best decision you will make!

We cannot say enough good things about Jessica. She made our special day run absolutely seamlessly and went above and beyond. From running a rehearsal that left everyone so prepared to helping us navigate crazy weather to helping fix the bustle on my dress, she was so present and so helpful throughout the planning process and on the day of the wedding. Hiring Jessica is the best money you will spend in your wedding!!!!!

I cannot say enough about how wonderful Jessica is! She was an absolute pleasure to work with as our day of coordinator. Jessica was so helpful in keeping us on track with our wedding planning and helping us focus on details that we would have overlooked without her guidance. She gave us amazing suggestions about the layout at our venue and vendors to choose. She created and helped us complete a day of timeline that kept our wedding day running so smoothly. On our wedding day, Jessica truly made our day perfect. My grandma had a health scare the morning of my wedding and when she arrived just minutes before the ceremony, Jessica literally put together her wheel chair - talk about going above and beyond! Jessica was so committed to making our day perfect and she really did! Hiring Jessica was easily the best decision we made in our wedding planning!

My husband and I had a destination wedding in Charleston. We did a lot of things ourselves but felt like we were running out of time when we hit the one month mark! That is when our venue (Cannon Green) suggested we reach out to Jessica as a day of coordinator. It was the best decision we could have made. Being that close to the finish line our budget was getting tight and it was hard to justify any additional costs. Let me tell you, It was money well spent! She helped keep us on track and organized my ideas. Between an extensive questionnaire and working together on a timeline all the details came together seamlessly. There were so many little things that I wouldn’t have thought of without her help. Jessica allowed my Husband and I to enjoy our day and not worry about anything. She and her assistant even helped take Polaroids at our photo booth station! We can’t recommend her enough. Thanks so much for making our day stress free and letting us focus on all the fun!

We were so happy to get to work with Jessica Cruz! Our wedding could not have been half as good as it was without Jessica. We live in Virgini and we’re trying to plan our wedding in Charleston and we could not have done it without Jessica’s knowledge of vendors, years of experience, and extreme organizational skills! On top of that, our wedding was at Magnolia Plantation and Jessica used to work there so she knew everyone there and exactly how things work there! We loved working with Jessica and definitely think she’s the best choice for coordinating a Charleston wedding!

Our day wouldn’t have been perfect with out Jessica! She really went above and beyond to make our day special. She is so sweet and honest. Jessica helped me fill in all the gaps as I was planning from states away and made it easy! Everything went so smoothly the day of! I would highly recommend Cruz Coordination to anyone getting married in the Charleston area!

Jessica is the girl who you want planning your wedding! As a doctor who married a doctor, Jessica was an enormous help to us both! She knew what I was missing, helped me with vendors, and kept me on time with the deadlines which I would have most definitely missed without her. We purchased her partial wedding planning service and it was well worth the price! Plus she gets you discounts on major vendors that ended up saving us a lot of money. Ladies, book her early!

Jessica is an absolute rock star! She made our day PERFECT. A day of coordinator was a last minute decision for us, and it (especially Jessica) was the BEST decision we made by far in our entire wedding. (No, I am not exaggerating.) Do yourself a favor, and book Jessica now. I cannot write enough good things about her!

I cannot say enough good things about Jessica! We do not live in Charleston, so I was worried about planning a wedding from afar. Those worries were calmed the second we chose Jessica as our wedding coordinator. We chose to get married at Magnolia Plantation; Jessica came highly recommended not only by Magnolia, but also by every single vendor we encountered. Jessica is so detail-oriented--she really thinks of everything! Jessica is very efficient and quick to respond to emails. She provided such great, detailed advice about choosing vendors and planning our wedding timeline. She really has the inside scoop on planning a wedding in Charleston. Our wedding rehearsal and wedding day went so smoothly, and I know I only have Jessica to thank! Not only is Jessica amazing at her job, but she is also a genuinely sweet and friendly person. She has a great, calming presence, and she immediately put me at ease when I met her. I guarantee that your wedding day will be amazing if you choose Jessica! She's the BEST!

We cannot thank Jessica Cruz of Cruz Coordination enough for her outstanding work. The weekend was such a beautiful and memorable weekend and I owe most of that to her. Her attention to detail is remarkable and it was so nice NOT having to worry beforehand or on the day of. I highly recommend Jessica's service to any bride-to-be.

Jessica was the best! I️ planned a destination wedding in SC from Miami , she helped me with her HONEST opinion of each vendor I️ chose. She was super enthusiastic about making me vision become a reality! She was super detailed and quick when responding to my emails! She kept me calm throughout the entire process and she was SUPER organized!

Jessica was such a huge part of why our big day was so amazing and perfect!! We planned a South Carolina beach wedding from Seattle, and Jessica make it so easy. She was always there for us when we had questions planning, and then made sure all vendors came and went smoothly the whole day of our wedding. She was so sweet with our family and friends and really made sure everyone had a great time! Thank you!!

I have nothing but great things to say about Jessica with Cruz Coordination. She was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. Jessica has a true passion for what she does and you can really tell when working with her. She goes above and beyond and is constantly available for guidance and to me, it feels like she never stops working. She took so much stress off of me and my now husband so that we could enjoy our day. Even with it raining on our wedding day, Jessica was ready with a backup plan and it still worked out beautifully. I had tried reaching out to several planners in the area and Jessica was the first and ONLY one to respond and was in constant contact ever since (with a two year engagement). I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a planner. She is so awesome and we are beyond grateful for everything she did for us. You certainly will not be disappointed if you decide to go with her.

Jessica was simply amazing. Cool, calm, collected and cognizant of every tiny detail - I really don't think we could have pulled everything off as perfectly if it hadn't been for her and her team. From the moment we started working with Jessica, we knew she'd be incredible and throughout the planning process she took time to work with us, understand what we wanted to achieve and really get to know us and our families. She wasn't pushy at all and supported us to help make our dreams a reality. On the day Jessica was incredible - working tirelessly in the background to ensure everything went smoothly and that we had everything we needed. We literally can't thank her enough and would recommend her, without hesitation, to anyone wanting to get married in Charleston.

I cannot give a higher recommendation to anyone than Jessica Cruz! She is absolutely wonderful and was fantastic from the moment we met her. We planned our wedding from Texas and she was able to provide us with everything we ever could of needed. Her recommendations were perfect! She was also very conscious of our budget. She is way more than just a wedding coordinator. She is really the whole package and knows Magnolia plantation and gardens like the back of her hand. She was so attentive to every detail and even made sure my new husband and I had drinks, alone time and made sure we ate dinner! Her attention to detail is impeccable and we were so fortunate to have found her. She really is the best and made our big day spectacular!

Jessica and her team were amazing at handling our destination wedding! She brought great ideas to the table that I didn't think of doing or the little details you forget about. They made the day run so smoothly and on time. Super friendly and was always available to help. I am so thankful for all her hard work in helping to plan and run my destination wedding! I highly recommend Cruz Coordination.

Hey everyone! If you're looking for a wedding coordinator I can't say enough great things about Jessica Cruz. She was so helpful and amazing!!!! She was with my husband and I anytime we needed anything and was particularly helpful getting a less than responsive vendor to answer us. The day of my wedding I didn't lift a finger, she did EVERYTHING imaginable!! At the reception she kept my husband and I with a drink in hand all night. She even helped wrangle our ring bearer, a lovable but wandering dachshund, during the ceremony and pictures. I also feel that she really cared for us. The photographer snapped a shot of my mom watching our first dance and in the background is Jessica with a look of happiness on her face that almost rivaled my mom's. If you were on the fence about getting a coordinator let me just say that there is no way I could have navigated the Charleston wedding scene without her help!

Jessica is FANTASTIC! We could not have made a better decision while picking a wedding coordinator. We got married at Magnolia Plantation's Veranda a couple of weeks ago and Jessica made it completely stress-free for us. She knows the area, the venue, the vendors, the whole science behind the wedding logistics and a whole lot of other stuff that you (or Google!) don't! She also has certain discounts with the vendors in the area and connections in the industry, which helped a LOT. She pointed out the things that we need to worry about and the things that were minor and guided us through the whole process without being either pushy or controlling. This was the best investment out of all our wedding expenses and we could not be happier with the service and the treatment that we got, which was so much more than what we anticipated!

Jessica was absolutely fantastic as our wedding coordinator! She helped us from day one with insight on catering services, event rentals, hotel blocks, etc. She was super helpful with the design and layout of our wedding - always including images to help us visualize our wedding. She took the hassle out of contacting/communicating with all of our vendors. Jessica was also money conscientious - including ways to save money/cut costs. The day of the wedding was a breeze with Jessica in charge. She told everyone when and where to be, made sure we kept to our timeline, and even kept our hard-to-handle best man in line :) I had absolutely no worries with the wedding since Jessica was there! She's super sweet, organized and such a hard worker! I cannot express how thankful I am for Jessica!!!! I recommend her to my closest friends and family, and also to you!

Jessica Cruz is AMAZING AT HER JOB! I was so nervous about planning my wedding, especially as an out-of-town bride, but Jessica was there for me every step of the way, from planning and picking vendors to FLAWLESSLY executing everything the day of! Jessica knows so many tricks and tips about planning a Charleston wedding, that you would only get from a seasoned professional like her! For example, a couple of days before the wedding, due to the weather, the bugs were out of control at my venue. Thanks to Jessica I was able to get a last minute bug fog of my venue (something I never would have known or thought to do). THANK GOD for that suggestion - who wants to be covered in no-see-ums at their beautiful outdoor wedding? Because I am a realist, I was prepared for a couple of things to go wrong the day of...but thanks to Jessica and her wonderful assistant, nothing did (or, if it did, she made sure that I was BLISSFULLY unaware...and still am)! She worked tirelessly to make sure that everything was perfect and exactly what I wanted. She is organized, efficient, professional, calm, sweet, fun, and everything that you could ask for in a wedding planner. I am SO grateful that I picked Jessica and got to work with such a lovely and talented person to plan my wedding. Book her now...I promise you won't regret it!!

Jessica was flawless in the preparation leading up to our wedding to the day of. She made everything flow very smoothly, showing no signs of stress or frustration. Jessica helped turn our great wedding into a MAGNIFICENT wedding! She handled all the details with ease and even gave us a few wonderful surprises along the way. She made us feel as if she's been a friend for a while. We could not have asked for a more personal and cheerful friend to help us along the way.

Jessica, was fantastic! She was practical, resourceful, honest, and helped me meet all of my dreams. She is fun to work with, very professional and preppy when she needs to be. She was amazing to work with. The best thing I heard about my experiences with hiring a wedding coordinator is "they have to be the best fit for you" and Jessica was an excellent match with my husband and I. Finding a wedding coordinator is not about finding the "best" it's about finding the best for you and your fiancee. You should highly consider Jessica for her professionalism and high consideration for you and your preferences.

Jessica was an absolutely pivotal part of our planning process and wedding day! We had our wedding at Magnolia Planation and their event manager, Leanza, recommended Jessica to us. There is no better planner, particularly for that venue, as Jessica previously held Leanza's position so she knows every single detail about the plantation. Initially, I thought we would be able to cut some corners on the budget without a planner but as the date got closer I decided to just go for it. I am so glad we did. My husband and I live out of state so Jessica took a ton of stress off my shoulders. Jessica handled my ever changing mind, constant questions, and chaotic family all in stride. The day of the wedding Jessica helped drive my husband and I to a specific location on the plantation for our first look while she kept the entire wedding on track. She even ran to the the bridal suit in the rain for my sandals and put them one for me when I was tired of my heels! She went above and beyond to make our day perfect and she completely succeeded. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Jessica and one hundred percent recommend Cruz Coordination!

We booked Jessica closer to my daughter's wedding date because I realized I could not do everything . Jessica was great about late recommendations for certain vendors, and organizing everything with the vendors I already had. On the day of the wedding, Jessica took control of tying together all of the personal things we wanted for the wedding. She's a hard worker and wants your wedding to be perfect! I highly recommend Cruz Coordination!

My review is quite similar to what others have said and truly, I cannot say enough good things about Jessica. My husband and I live in NYC so planning a wedding from afar was bound to be difficult. I wanted to choose the details, but knew I needed someone to focus on them once the wedding day came. Jessica was recommended to us through our ceremony/reception site and after our initial conversation with her, we knew she would be a huge asset to planning and executing the big day. I am so impressed by how much she is able to juggle. Everything was perfect and our guests were raving about her organization and ability to make the wedding go off without a hitch. I was stress free and did not worry about a single thing (other then the heat). Do not hesitate in having Jessica as your planner!

AMAZING...I don't even know where to start with all the great things I could say about Cruz Coordination. From her bag full of anything you could ever need on your wedding day (including a hand-held steamer we needed last minute for my veil) to her organization of all the minor details I wouldn't have ever thought of...the service is simply top-notch and worth every penny (plus some). Cruz Coordination helped us figure out a detailed timeline of our wedding day, managed to get us free flower petals from our flower vendor at the last minute, responded to all questions/concerns quickly, arranged and placed all items we brought throughout the wedding venue, coordinated all of our wedding vendors on the big day and communicated with them the month of our wedding....I could go on :-) We had a huge wedding party and Jess did an amazing job of coordinating everyone at the rehearsal dinner and on the wedding day. I knew that our destination wedding was going to be awesome and it definitely was thanks to Cruz Coordination - having her by your side takes so much of the stress away and I simply couldn't be more thankful for everything she did at our wedding!

Jessica was vital to our wedding day. She had everything covered and we did not have to worry about anything. She listened to all the small details we wanted and coordinated all the last minute details. She put everything together perfectly. Jessica definitely went above and beyond to make everything amazing. There are so many small details to worry about on the day of the wedding and we were able to focus on enjoying our time with family and friends. She coordinated flawlessly with all of our vendors, because of Jessica our wedding ran smoothly and perfectly. Jessica was the best decision we made besides saying "I do".
