Aside from marrying my husband, choosing Jessica as my planner and designer was the best decision I made for my wedding weekend. I'm a COVID bride that has had a crazy wedding experience, and there's no way I could have navigated it all without... Jessica's expertise, stellar ideas, professionalism, and just awesome personality.
My original wedding planner decided to change careers during the pandemic, and our wedding venue also tried to change our contract on us. Panicking as I now didn't have a planner or a wedding venue, I reached out to my HMU artist who immediately recommended Jessica. As soon as I hopped on the Zoom call with Jessica I fell in love with her upbeat energy and unique ideas, and booked her immediately for our wedding weekend.
My fiance is Indian and I'm American so we decided to have a 3-day event: a Hawaiian-themed rehearsal dinner/Pitti celebration on Friday, a Jewish wedding on Saturday, and an Indian wedding on Sunday. As you can imagine, that's no small feat to coordinate and I was freaking out with less than 9 months to get it all done. *Cue Rihanna "we found love in a hopeless place"* when Jessica stepped in.
She prioritized the things that needed to be done first, found me a fantastic stationary person and florist, helped us book our band, and got to work designing both weddings. I loved all of her ideas that really helped our wedding be as personal as possible for my husband and I. We loved craft cocktails, so she found us a mobile bar that served our cocktails on tap, which was a huge hit. She also suggested so many little details (cute straws, custom paper napkins for cocktail hour, a cool escort display) that didn't break the bank and helped our wedding stand out.
While I was thrilled with the planning and design, where Jessica blew me away was with the coordination. She had a team of 4 people with walkie talkies expertly managing every step of our wedding, which was crucial since we got married at a massive venue with events that were very spread out. My parents were initially skeptical at the cost of hiring her and her team, but after just the rehearsal they couldn't stop complimenting the team and feel like it's the best investment we made for the wedding. Jessica's incredible mom also was part of the team, and let me tell you, she was the ultimate hype woman who made me feel so confident and happy. Emma was also fantastic and made me feel like they had the event so under control.
I couldn't be happier with our choice to work with Jessica and team, and I am so so grateful for everything she did for us. I miss texting her every day and would plan another event (is a 1-year vow renewal too much??) just to be able to work with her again. She is one of a kind!
