Working with Jessica on our wedding at Parrish Art Museum in the Hamptons was the most wonderful, creative, and enjoyable experience. She is more than just an event planner - she a...
pproaches things from a high-end design point of view. Together, we created an unforgettable event, unlike any other, with unique touches and unexpected moments throughout the weekend. She brought in a dozen unique vendors together and brought my vision to life. A year later, people still reference how truly unforgettable and special the weekend was. If you are looking for a designer with a fresh perspective who is open to collaboration and thinking outside the box, Jessica is your girl. She is also a great person and a joy to work with. Her team was professional and perfectly invisible the entire weekend, keeping everything on schedule seamlessly. They dealt with all the various odds and ends behind the scenes, without having to involve me or disrupt the flow. I truly felt 0 stress the entire weekend and had the time of my life! 10/10 Recommend!
Jessica was our wedding planner for almost four years. She is sensible, down-to-earth, and has an impeccable design eye.
We initially hired Jessica for a big two-day wedding weeke...
nd in Palmetto Bluff, South Carolina, for 175 guests in March 2020 - half of who were international. We had every detail planned out for a large bash, and one week out, we had to call it off due to COVID. Jessica was fantastic in helping us call our wedding at such short notice and rebook our event for 2021, securing all of our original vendors.
Sadly, we had to rebook our 2021 wedding again due to COVID and the closed borders. After the second cancellation, we started from ground zero due to a change in scope. In 2022, we decided to rebook our wedding as an intimate dinner party for 25 guests in Park City, Utah. Jessica helped us to reenvision our event, secure new vendors, make appropriate re-arrangements, and plan an entire event from a distance. We booked the venue without ever seeing it in person because we trusted Jessica would make our vision come true, so she did. Our wedding perfectly reflects who my husband and I are as a couple; intimate, intentional, and a little quirky.
Four years later, many planning calls, bookings, re-bookings, and cancellations later, I can ensure, Jessica, it's been there for us through it all, and we couldn't be more grateful. Thank you, Jessica, for sticking by our side through the wild ride of planning multiple international weddings through a global pandemic. We'll miss working with you!
A venue recommended Jessica and we are beyond thankful to have found her. We picked her based on her design aesthetic -- after seeing her work we knew she could help us achieve som...
ething unique, modern and memorable.
We held a destination wedding in Nashville and Jessica helped us identify some amazing vendors with her in-depth experience in the market. She also took us through a design process that helped us identify our vision and she truly made it happen. Our day was beyond anything I could of dreamed and she held my hand every step of the way. Her professionalism made me feel very confident in the outcome throughout the process and she really made sure I was at ease on the big day.
Thank you, Jessica!
Jessica is the epitome of an exceptional wedding planner in every sense of the role. Her stylistic approach is unparalleled -- she truly understood our vision and applied her crea...
tivity and experience to help us achieve an aesthetic that went above and beyond what we had even envisioned. We received so many compliments from our guests on how cohesive and natural the entire event looked and felt as well as on all of the little details that made our wedding so unique to us. Our friends called the wedding "iconic", "epic", and numerous people noted how relaxed we were, which they said set the tone for the entire evening (we would not have been relaxed without Jessica's support and guidance!) From the Spanish-tile inspired dance floor to the bespoke espresso bar, Jessica helped us incorporate fun elements that were seamlessly integrated in an elevated fashion. We truly enjoyed all of our planning discussions with Jessica leading up to the wedding -- she is thorough, yet efficient -- and every call and meeting felt like we accomplished the items on our to-do list and had a clear sense of next steps. She was invaluable in navigating discussions with our vendors -- we always felt like she had our best interests in mind and would help us to articulate our vision, which I know our vendors appreciated! Most importantly, Jessica is thoughtful, warm, honest, insanely talented, and fun! My parents absolutely adore her and my husband and I genuinely miss working with her!
The truth is I have not — and don’t think I will ever — stopped talking about our experience working with Jessica on our wedding. From the moment I first spoke with her, I felt a c...
onnection and understanding from her that felt almost impossible for having been the first conversation. After consulting with two other professionals, I returned to Jessica without a second hesitation as nobody could compare to her (even one who actually had all the local vendor contacts for where we were getting married and knew our venue inside and out.)
To say it succinctly: we are very discerning people. In addition to that, I was working as a Creative Director in my career at that time and I was fanatic about mood and tone, storytelling and concept, and detail and execution. Honestly, I wouldn’t have been surprised if another person in her role would have found me to be completely overwhelming. While this would have been impossible for some, Jessica’s talent, professionalism, and ability to collaborate while still staying true to her own vision and delivering creativity, innovation, romance, and coordination was nothing short of extraordinary.
I cannot tell you how many of our guests told me it was the most incredible, beautiful wedding that they had ever been to in their lives. Of course, that doesn’t surprise me: it was spectacular. There was not a single detail that Jessica didn’t consider. Even when we had to, regrettably, make sacrifices because of overspending in certain areas, Jessica gave us ideas, options, and advice on the best ways to still deliver the goal.
I actually just went through all of our photographs of the wedding, relived that entire day, and said how desperately I wanted to find an excuse to hire her again. To work with her is to have a rare opportunity to create a dream that actually transcends reality.
I chose Jessica because I knew I wanted a wedding weekend that felt cohesive and intentional from start to finish. She has a way of making your day feel authentic in an organic and...
comfortable way. She is a wonderful listener and we felt in sync the whole process! Her eye for detail was also spot on. I didn't have to worry about making one decision all weekend.
