Working with Jessica from Not Jess A Planner was truly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. We met over a year before our date, and she was there with us every step o...
f the way. From our very first meeting, she immediately understood our vision and brought it to life through mood boards and thoughtful options that made every decision feel easier to manage and exciting along the way.
One of the things I appreciated most about Jessica was her ability to balance our dream of a luxurious wedding with the reality of not having an unlimited budget. She was always honest about when it was worth investing for quality, and equally honest when we could save or DIY without sacrificing the guest experience. We never once felt pressured, only supported and guided with honesty and so much care.
Our venue was a complete blank slate, in terms of finding vendors to support our big day. Jessica not only transformed it into something even more breathtaking, but also accommodated 150 people in a way that had never been done before. I truly don't think that our vision could have come to life as perfectly with a different planner. Even more impressively, she managed all of this from Los Angeles, while our wedding was in Paso Robles, only needing to visit the venue once beforehand.
On our wedding day, Jess was everything I needed and more. She was calm, supportive, encouraging, and the ultimate hype woman. And the team she brought with her was just as incredible. Each of them were professional, knowledgeable, and seamless in making sure everything ran perfectly. Because of them, our day was flawless. There is not a single thing we would change, and I know that’s because Jessica thought of absolutely everything and was constantly advocated on our behalf.
I truly cannot recommend Not Jess A Planner enough. If you’re lucky enough to work with Jess, do it before her calendar is impossible to get on. She is worth every bit of the investment and more. Our wedding was perfect in every way because of her!
This review is long overdue, but I’ve always believed in the notion of better late than never. I hired Jess to be the month-of coordinator for my late May 2025 wedding at the Greys...
tone Mansion & Gardens in Beverly Hills. To say that she went above and beyond would be a gross understatement. Jess was EXEMPLARY. Although I “planned” the wedding in the sense that I researched, selected and contracted with the venue and all our vendors, it was Jess who transformed my collection of various event-related contracts into an actual wedding. The number of things she did to help make my dream become a reality is too long to list so, to keep it short and sweet, I'll say this: I cannot recommend Jess highly enough. If you’re thinking about hiring her to plan/coordinate your event, stop thinking about it and JUST DO IT. It will be the best decision you make throughout the process.
11/10 would recommend Jess for content creation!
Wedding content creation is still such a new field, but finding someone who truly understands lighting, editing, production, profe...
ssionalism, and aesthetics is rare—Jess embodies all of these qualities! She perfectly captured our vision and every request we had, delivering beyond our expectations. One of the standout things about Jess was how seamlessly she worked with our photographer, ensuring that every moment of the day was captured exactly as we had imagined, if not even better.
The turnaround time for all the content was impressively quick, and we couldn’t have been happier with the final result. Most importantly, Jess brought such positive energy to our wedding day, which added to the overall experience in a way we’ll never forget.
Thank you, Jess, for making our day even more special!
Love,
Helen & Steph
Jess absolutely helped my dream wedding come to life & was soooo pleasant to work with. I am so grateful I found her and her services - her personal style and artistic flair were e...
xactly what I was looking for and I hope to work with her again. She made me feel so comfortable I fully trusted her with every detail I just knew she could handle it. Totally worth every penny she did not disappoint. Thank you Jess!!!!
Jess was absolutely amazing to work with! Not only is she the sweetest person but also so professional and creative. She captured the most beautiful moments of our wedding that we ...
will cherish forever. I would definitely recommend her to anyone, she’s amazing at what she does, and she will make you feel comfortable throughout the process. 😊
HIRE JESS! You will be SO GLAD you did!!
Jess was everything I was looking for in a wedding planner (and more) -- overly communicative, punctual, organized, thoughtful, dependabl...
e, proactive & an amazing listener.
I can't tell you how many times I looked at my partner throughout our year long wedding process and said "wow, I don't know what I would do without Jess." (and this is coming from a very type A, planner, go-getter bride).
Jess had amazing vendor connections, she dug in & asked all the right questions to make sure we were set for the big day and handled everything down to the last coordination email.
I cannot stress enough how much I enjoyed working with her and would highly, highly recommend her to any bride looking to get married in Los Angeles or Vegas.
I met Jessica at the wedding convention in Montebello, as my fiance and I were overlooking the scenery. As we saw Jess dressed professionally we assumed she was an employee and ask...
ed for directions when she let us know she was a wedding planner, we then let her know our wedding was approaching and we weren’t sure where to start as it was all very overwhelming, she began by reassuring us that if we decided to meet we could discuss all the details and she would be with us throughout the way making it a easier process as well as a memorable stress free event. Throughout the process of our dream wedding Jess was with us from the flowers to the venue, photoshoot to the smallest of details. Because of Jess we could look back and know that our special day was perfect.
We now see Jess as a part of the family and now that we are expecting we are looking forward to booking her for our little angels first birthday.
Jess is the best! She is such a sweetie and has a great eye for this. We are still reliving our day through the content we received back from our wedding day!
I cannot express enough how thrilled I am with Jess's work as our elopement day content creator. From the moment she arrived, Jess fit right in with our group of friends, bringing ...
an infectious energy that added to the joy of the day. Her professionalism and warm personality immediately put us at ease, making it feel like she was just another friend celebrating with us.
Not only did Jess capture every moment we had discussed prior to the day, but she went above and beyond, ensuring that every laugh, every tear, and every spontaneous moment was beautifully preserved. Her keen eye for detail and storytelling truly shone through in the final footage.
Hiring Jess was undeniably the best decision we made for our elopement. Thanks to her, we now have stunning content to share with our friends and family who couldn't attend. The fact that we received all the files the very next day was just the cherry on top! Being able to create our own reels with Jess's clips and share the videos she created for us has allowed us to relive the magic of our special day over and over again.
If you're looking for a content creator who not only delivers exceptional results but also adds to the joy and fun of your celebration, look no further than Jess. I cannot recommend her enough!
There are not enough words or stars to express our sincere gratitude and appreciation for Jess. Not only was her content top tier, but she exceeds capturing the perfect moments (an...
d man does she have an eye for creativity). She was quick to jump in and give directions to our driver, said “I can call people!” when trying to get in touch with another vendor, and had 2 reels back to me by the time we woke up the next morning. She does it all. Everybody kept saying how amazing she is and her work speaks for itself but she’s also one heck of a hype woman! I would recommend Jess to anybody and everybody who is looking for somebody who is professional, creative, takes the time to understand your vision, and has YOUR best interest at heart.
Jess was the absolutely best content creator! I am so glad I found her. She is so professional and kind and sweet! She is very responsive and has great, clear communication through...
out the whole planning services. She is very detail oriented and was able to get my vision for the wedding in our one meeting and was able to beautifully capture all the moments of the day that I wanted and post it live for me! It was like she was literally in my head taking all these shots. This allowed me to stay focused and present in the moment and cherish everything as I knew Jess would take care of capturing it for a lifetime. She is also a such a wonderful and caring person. She kept reminding me to breathe and to not let things ruin my day. And I needed that. I kept calling her my Wedding day BFF!! I was so lucky to have her by my side to capture all these memories. And her song selections are all on point!! She even added one song from one of my favorite lesser known artist and it just fit perfectly. The only thing I regret is that I did not find her sooner as she also does event planning and day of coordination. She would have saved me & my husband a lot of stress lol She is everything all wrapped in one adorable package!! You will definitely not regret hiring her for any part of the your special day!! Book her now! No regrets, I promise you! <3
