Our Curated Design

We worked with the OCD team for Full Planning for our wedding, and were so incredibly happy with the results! Jami was so organized, and always brought so much joyful excitement throughout the planning process. She navigated complex situations so gracefully, and knew how to handle every situation that was thrown at her. We can’t wait to use OCD for our next event!

Jami is simply the best! We were nervous about working with a planner, and were hesitant to allot some of the budget to it...but we are SO glad that we did. Not only was Jami incredible on the day of the wedding, and turned all our piles of things we brought to the venue into magic, but she was so present throughout the planning process. Wedding planning comes with excitement, but also stress and Jami was always the perfect blend of enthusiasm and calm to keep us feeling excited and motivated, which meant a lot to us. Jami has great relationships with many other vendors in Richmond, every time we hired someone and mentioned Jami they always spoke highly of her. She provided crucial guidance and support that made us feel listened to and we ultimately had the most incredible wedding, very much due to her efforts! We are so grateful for her and highly recommend working with Jami.

We had the best most perfect wedding, and it was a gift to work with Jami as our day-of coordinator. Leading up to our wedding, Jami was ready with answers/suggestions/opinions any time we had questions or were feeling indecisive, and so generous with her time (and her decor inventory). On our wedding day, we felt confident that everything would run smoothly with Jami in charge. (It did.) It was also extra special to get so many beautiful photos of all the little details from throughout the day that Jami had taken. It was a perfect day.

I met Jami in 2016 though work and soon after meeting her it was clear she had a passion for bring wedding visions to life. One of the biggest pieces of advice our friends and family gave us was to have a day-of wedding coordinator. We knew right away we had to reach out to Jami. When we say it was the best decision that we made, outside of marrying each other, it is not an exaggeration. Not only is Jami insanely organized, proactive, and unafraid to tell it like it is, she is immensely understanding and compassionate. We had various hurdles pop up throughout the planning processes and the day-off, and Jami never hesitated to jump in and offer multiple solutions and ultimately solve every issue we came across to the highest extent. While we handled much of the high level planning ourselves, we can truly say we would have been lost without Jami. And just when we thought it couldn’t get any better, she brought her assistant Carmen for the day-of. Carmen didn’t hesitate to do everything possible to make our day perfect. Then to top it all off, the professional chemistry Jami and Carmen had made them the perfect team to make our wedding day perfect. From one bride to another, not hiring Jami would be your biggest wedding regret. Thank you Jami, Carmen and team for helping to make our day perfect in so many ways!

Hiring Jami to be our wedding planner was the best wedding decision we made, hands down. She was always there with the best advice, making the wedding planning process easy and seamless. When people said things like, 'oh, you must be so stressed' heading up to the wedding, I'd shake my head and say, "nope - I have THE most amazing wedding planner and she's handling everything." If you are searching for a wedding planner, hire Jami. She cares with everything she has. She wants the happy couple to be exactly that - happy. She will do everything she can to make sure you have the most perfect day. I know, because she did that for me and my new husband.

Jami is incredible! Hiring her as our wedding coordinator was one of our best decisions! Jami helped bring our thoughts and Pinterest board to life. She is so creative, so imaginative and always has a positive attitude. She was able to keep me at ease through the entire process, even after Hurricane Ian decided to visit us on our special day. When any obstacle came up, she dealt with it, and I had no idea! She and her husband truly wanted us to enjoy our wedding day. Jami is skilled in calligraphy and has the perfect aesthetic pieces for any wedding/event in her possession. She picked up our dessert spread and even bought us desserts through the wedding planning process. Through a cold & rainy rehearsal and a rainy wedding day, Jami always kept a smile on her face. Just a smile meant so much during a time of feeling overwhelmed and stressed. When you get married you want your spouse and Jami by your side.

Jami was ready to work the second we signed on with her. Her knowledge of the wedding planning process is incredible. There were little and big items that we hadn’t thought about until we met with Jami. Being able to communicate with her throughout the planning was a life saver. Her calm and cool personality is just what you need when planning a wedding and on the big day. On the wedding day, as the bride and groom, there wasn’t one thing that was out of place. The decor was set up without us having to think about it. The timeline was in place to make things go smoothly. If you want someone to sit there and watch, that’s not Jami. If you want someone to direct the show and do it without asking, go with Jami. While she does have a calm personality, if she needs something to happen, she will let that be known and get it done. When the bridal party was about to walk down the aisle at our outdoor wedding and someone was starting up a lawn mower beside the venue, Jami shut that down QUICK. Our day was fantastic and we owe much of that to Jami and her team. If you are on the fence about whether a wedding coordinator or day or coordinator is needed, go with Jami. You will be so happy you did. She will go above and beyond and meet all of your needs!

Where do I start? Jami, you are one of the kindest most hard working individuals I’ve met! There were so many last minute projects you took on to make our dream day come true. You and your team took care of every little detail, issue, and task to ensure things ran smoothly the entire weekend. We even woke up to little surprises and memories from our day that made everything even more special. Thank you for jumping into this head first (even in 98 degree weather!) and delivering the wedding of our dreams! We are grateful for you and highly recommend you to anyone looking for a wedding coordinator who goes above and beyond!

Look NO FUTURE! Jami is a pure Gem! Stress no more, your wedding day should be stress free, fun, and filled with memories. Jami made sure of that. The whole process was smooth sailing and the day of was magic. I was in awe. She even bought me coffee to start my day the morning of and sent me pictures of the decor while I was getting ready… little sneak peek. If I would marry again (not that I would) my go to will be Jami for sure. Hugs!

We hired Jami for Day of Coordination and received her support over several months, beginning with an hour-long meeting 3 months out! Our wedding was the most incredible day of our lives in big thanks due to Jami’s thoughtful attention to detail, hard work, past wedding experience, and pure kindness! I get emotional thinking about the day and our wonderful experience with Jami! She was truly above and beyond! “Our Curated Design” is the perfect name for her business because she’ll work with you to envision the day you want, going with you through all of your mood boards and ideas so she truly “gets it”! She’ll put what you want into words and writing and then the best part – BRING IT TO LIFE! We wanted whimsical, modern, Wes Anderson vibes, and we more than got them! It was amazing! Going into planning a wedding, I had no idea what a Herculean effort it is to execute one. Even for 80 people, it really is 1,000 details. Jami will make sure to think of every single one. She’ll answer every question you ask and remember the answer when you’ve forgotten it on the big day. She’ll be your biggest cheerleader before, during, and after your wedding. It’s also the little things that Jami thinks of! She had the creative idea to take instax film images throughout our wedding that we’ll now get to cherish forever! We already are! It means so much to us to know that Jami and Will, her husband, had our back throughout our day. We honestly can’t believe how well the day went, but it wasn’t luck or just our planning, it was mostly due to Our Curated Design magic! At the end of the night when we were exhausted (we’d left it all on the dance floor) and we couldn’t help to pack up our decor and things like we wanted to, Jami and Will took care of it with smiles! They were such a calming presence to share the end of our night with. Not to mention, everything got back to our home expertly packed! I would recommend Our Curated Design over and over!

Okay, Jami is EVERYTHING! Looking for a planner? She's your girl. Unsure if you need one - like even if you're super organized/type A? I'll explain why you need Jami! Jami is such an enthusiastic, joyful gal who made planning our wedding FUN, stressless, and exciting. I contacted Jami in January to help me plan a June wedding - and she jumped right in! I purchased Jami's Full planning package and am so grateful I did. Her wealth of knowledge of the vendor network is priceless - its sooo overwhelming to comb through them yourself and Jami was able to provide us with recommendations for our vendors based on our wedding vision and most importantly, budget! Everyone she recommended was AMAZING and every one of them spoke so highly of her! She is SO incredibly talented and has an eye for design like no other. Jami's world feels like a perfectly curated Anthropologie, and her event design vision and execution are unmatched. I have no problem chipping away at a task list and I can pull inspo from Pinterest, but I can't bring that vision to reality. Jami's true gifts are to bring that inspiration to life (plus all the wonderful organization and management side of things too). I was BLOWN AWAY at how she was able to design such an incredible event with so many details with the things I provided her and within our budget. She filled the planning, day-of, and day-after process with so many special touches. From thoughtful planning sessions, talking me off the ledge about the weather forecast, to taking Polaroid's day-of, to sending us home with a few sneak peeks and a handwritten note, AND even sending me TONS of behind the scenes shots the day after, I always felt like I had a true guide and friend throughout the process. Thank you, Jami!!!

If you are even remotely on the fence about hiring a coordinator I’ll say this: Jami is an absolute magician—she will not only make your wedding day sooo easy and relaxed but will add finishing touches that are so sweet, beautiful and considerate that you will end the day feeling truly seen and taken care of. She is next level, y’all! From the handwritten table seating chart and gorgeous place settings, to the epic s’moresgasboard (!!) and sweet Polaroids capturing all our special moments, Jami is the queen of detail and thoughtfulness. She is exceptionally easy to work with and will organize your day in a way that feels very fluid, relaxed and, above all else, very YOU! You will not for one moment regret hiring her and her stellar team. She and her assistant are absolute rockstars—thank you, Jami!!

Jami is a literal angel on Earth. I don’t know that I can adequately put into words just how perfect our day was, and it’s all because of her. She was so attentive and truly listened to what we wanted. Anytime I reached out with a question, she was there with an answer. I’ve heard of and seen so many instances where the bride is totally stressed out. I literally had zero stress or worry on our wedding day because Jami took care of it all! She’s worth her weight in gold.

Where to even begin?! Jami was absolutely amazing throughout our (covid) wedding planning process. From the late night freak out texts to the phone calls planning our big day, she made our entire vision reality! With the last minute rainy forecast, she completely transformed our reception area to accommodate what was supposed to be an outdoor ceremony and I have zero regrets! Not only did she make sure our entire day run smoothly, she maintained our time schedule (which was even AHEAD of schedule some of the time) without us feeling rushed from one thing to the next. Highly recommend Jami for all your wedding coordination needs 💕

Jami was positively priceless on my daughter's BIG day! So many ideas, choices, lists, and vendors came together flawlessly on the wedding day because Jami was there to coordinate. I met Jamie through my daughter several months before the wedding and immediately appreciated her "fire" for planning and bringing ideas to fruition. She's fun, energetic, and oh, so classy! I'm sure she had multiple other projects going at the same time but we would have never known because she made us feel like this wedding was her whole world. The day of the wedding went by so fast and as the mom-of-the-bride I was so very grateful to have Jami there, she took care of every detail with such class and charm! Having her as the day of coordinator was the best decision made!

I highly recommend hiring Jami to be your wedding coordinator! Not only does she have impeccable taste but she also has an eye for even the smallest details! She made mine and my husband’s wedding day so special and perfect! There is absolutely nothing I would change about our day! She listened to what we wanted and made it happen! I am so happy we had her to help us every step of the way!

Hiring Jami is hands down the best decision I made for my wedding day! She has so many great ideas and suggestions… every conversation we had leading up to the wedding was so helpful and made all my stress go away! If you are thinking about a day of coordinator I could not recommend Jami more- she completely transformed my ceremony space to reception and added so many cute details throughout my entire day! She even had different decor items for me to utilize instead of being left over with items I would never be able to re-use. 193732920/10 would recommend Jami and her team, they absolutely nailed my vision and thanks to them my day was worry-free!

If you’re looking for someone who makes you feel cool, calm & collected on your wedding day - you’re looking at Jami! Through the wedding planning process Jami met with us several times & was a GREAT listener. She gave suggestions and planned out our entire night to a T when we had no idea what we were doing. Go into it blind & you can trust that Jami will be at the helm of your big day & will steer you in the right direction.

Our wedding day couldn’t have gone any better! We owe a huge part of that to Jami and her team! From meeting with Jami leading up to our event to her taking control day of and dealing with anything & everything that could possibly come up. We forgot graham crackers for the s’mores bar, she had us covered. We had vendors running late, she made it work. She helped set up and clean up, keeping everything on schedule. The peace of mind caused from having Jami as our wedding coordinator is unmatched. My husband and I often say we have no clue how we could have done it without her. We couldn’t be any more appreciative of Jami and her team!!

Jami was amazing!! She made my day go so smoothly! She is so sweet and truly cares! Highly recommend!!

We were given the absolute pleasure of working with Jami through our venue, Lakeside at Welch Estate. As the MOB, I wanted nothing more than just be in the moment on my daughters wedding day. Jami far exceeded my expectations. She was incredibly helpful during the planning process and a rock star the day of the wedding. I didn’t have to worry about my vendors as she was in contact with them weeks leading up to the wedding day. On the wedding day, Jami and her team were attentive to every need. I trusted her completely with a last minute decision (our cocktail hour was moved indoors as the heat that day was oppressive). Our event was everything we had hoped for and more. My daughter and her husband had the wedding they had envisioned and it was because of the organization and attention to detail that Jami provided.

Jami is quite literally the best! From her passion for weddings to organization- you literally cannot go wrong with her. She helped bring my wedding dreams to life. Also have to give a shout-out to her husband Will- who is an extra bonus to having Jami help on your special day. Between the two of them they are an unstoppable duo. Also- her calligraphy and bouquet skills cannot be matched. Love Jami!

After attending a friend's birthday celebration decorated and hosted by Jami, we knew she would be a great resource as we were winding down to our special day. Jami met with the bride a month out to go over the vision for our (two) day wedding celebration, and not only took incredible notes but offered tons of feedback. She was so excited to take on a "Modern/Minimal" couple and was ready for the challenge of "something new". She even took our to-do list and helped identify which items she was ready to tackle each day. Prior to the wedding days, Jami helped us coordinate our venue and two vendors (wedding bouquet designer and DJ), and even received all the glassware and florals for our DIY celebration centerpieces. On the first big day, Jami helped keep us on schedule, fixed details during our photoshoots, and even drove the bride to our first-look photoshoot in a freshly detailed car! At our intimate wedding venue, she handled our small guest list with grace and a welcoming smile, and handled every tiny detail right up until the ceremony and dinner with a spring in her step. She even kept an eye on a little one when they were fussy and had to sit out during dinner so our family could enjoy the evening without worry. We even arrived to the sweetest gifts in our wedding suite, with personal details that demonstrated her love and adoration for us as a couple (not just as her clients). On our Celebration day, with a larger guest list and DJ, she and her husband helped pick up cakes, managed all the comings/goings of vendors, set up the floral centerpieces, made last minute hand lettered signs for the desert table, and prepared the sweetest emergency kits for the restroom...This list could go on! During the event, she ushered guests to the food line, played "matchmaker" as she combined tables and brought our friends closer together. She did every single task we agreed on and then some, and all with such enthusiasm. Even our family members and friends continue to compliment about her kindness, her organization skills, her ease. From our first meeting, to the two big days and each and every panicked text conversation in between, we can't speak highly enough about Jami and this business. We could not have pulled off our big day without her. Jami is an absolute angel, and working with her will be the best decision you will make on your wedding day. Love, Jordan + Brad

My husband and I hired Jami as our month of coordinator and wedding planner. She far exceeded our expectations and created a wedding scenery that matched our personalities perfectly. She has impeccable taste and her attention to detail is flawless! She is both approachable and professional and will ensure you feel like an absolute queen on your special day. Can’t wait to utilize her services again for anniversary parties, birthdays, and baby showers! She truly gave us an unforgettable experience.

Jami is nothing short of AMAZING. She was incredibly helpful in every step of the way leading up to our wedding day. She definitely has a special eye for organization and creativity. I loved watching her beautiful ideas for our ceremony and reception come to life… She was on top of every detail. We felt confident going into our day because she gave us amazing guidance, and kept everyone and everything on schedule. She was extremely professional and prepared for anything (we had a downpour of rain ALL day on wedding day) but she stayed calm and collected, which eased any nerves we had, and helped ensure we enjoyed every minute of our wedding. She provided the cutest umbrellas for the whole bridal party, she held my dress for me any time we needed to walk in or outside, and she surprised me with a few small decor items from her personal collection to help warm up my ceremony & reception areas. I truly felt like Jami was not just my coordinator on the wedding day, but also a great friend. I can't recommend her highly enough and hope you choose to work with her for your special day as well. You won’t be disappointed! Thank you so much Jami!!!

As soon as I contacted Jami to be our day of coordinator, six months prior to the wedding, she was enthusiastically involved every step of the way. What really left an impression on us was Jami's attention to detail. She took her personal time to sit down with us and give us crucial guidance on how to practically and creatively make our wedding dreams a reality and work with us to discover which of her rental elements would perfectly suit our vision. She paid attention to us and what we wanted but she also used her experience and knowledge to help us understand what we needed. Honestly, enough cannot be said about Jami & Will when it comes to the wedding day. Jami worked tirelessly the night before and the day of to organize EVERY element. From coordinating the setup and transition for ceremony and reception to communicating with vendors and making sure all of our desired elements were in place, she never missed a beat and was on top of everything. Perhaps the most valuable aspect about Jami is that you can trust her. When it is time to let go and enjoy your wedding you can be confident that her planning, attention to detail, and ability to think ahead and adapt to any situation is going to help make your wedding the best day ever!

After having met Jami to be our Day of Coordinator for our wedding, I said to my husband-to-be, “aside from choosing to marry you, choosing Jami was the best decision I made”. From our first meeting she was enthusiastic, organized, ready with the right questions, positive, and excited to get to work. She was a breath of fresh air and immediately took a lot of the stress off of me. While we hired her for just day of, she was doing so much for us for a few months before. She was a liaison between our caterer and vendors and helped with our timeline. She completely understood my vision and added certain touches that she thought went with my aesthetic that were perfect. She did all of the hand lettering for all of the signage which were all on boards or mirrors she already owned and offered to let us use. The day of she moved around gracefully with not an air of stress or anxiety and a lot of my guests even commented on how wonderful she was because she was there but always on the outskirts, paying attention to everything. She kept everything on schedule and checked in with us 5 minutes before we needed to be somewhere or do something. She kept me calm, and that was worth everything. A couple of days before the wedding I was having a hard day and she picked up on that and brought me a basket with goodies to help me relax- that describes Jami. I could go on and on about her, but I’ll end by saying, hiring Jami will be the best decision you ever made.

I can’t say enough how much I truly appreciate everything Jami did for us on our big day. To the meetings, bringing me coffee wedding day morning, setting everything up, and sticking to the time line. Our day would not have ran so smoothly if it wasn’t for her. She made sure we received all items we had forgotten after the wedding. She is the absolute sweetest person and such a kind heart. She made my fairytale wedding come to life and I am forever grateful for all her hard work and her true passion for wedding planning

What did we LOVE about Jami at Our Curated Design? EVERY. SINGLE. THING! Jami was absolutely awesome and took so much off of our plate and the stressful times we had planning a wedding topped with a healthy heaping pile of COVID 19. From the Zoom calls, to the face to face meetings, to decorating our beautiful venue (Lakeside at Welch Estate), to keeping us running on time! We could not have asked for a more perfect day, and we owe most of that to Jami and Ashley (venue owner)!!! I can never say enough great things to summarize our experience! So thank you Jami for being there for us every step of the way!!! 💕❤️💕

Let me start by saying that after I was initially engaged, I was 1000% positive that as a female who is extremely organized and excels at multitasking that I felt I could handle the planning of my wedding day. Thank god for a mother who ultimately talked me into hiring a planner for not only day of, month of, but the whole kitten caboodle AND LOOKING BACK LADIES- IT WAS WORTH IT AND SO MUCH MORE. No one could have foreseen a pandemic and especially the year my wedding was planned for. When I tell you that Jami was by my side every step of the way, I mean she would literally make herself available at all times. Never once did I feel like she pushed her own personal agenda on me. There were months when I was over the idea of planning a COVID wedding and she was on board. Three days later, Id change my mind and wanted to completely restart the process- and again- she was there. She gave space when needed (and was intellectual enough to know when) and provided guidance and structure when she could tell I needed it too. She assumed all roles, wore more hats than I can count and for that, the value outweighed the cost, time and time again. I promise you that just as important as your wedding dress is on your big day is also how you wear your attitude and how you show up poised and calm- and there is no way I could have been present and in the moment if it wasn’t for Jami. My wedding day had the remnants of a hurricane and literally up to the hour of my wedding, we were coordinating a few changes. Jami did it with absolute poise, strength, guidance, HEART AND PASSION. She was deliberate in every move she made months before, weeks before, but most importantly day of. She worked so hard to make my day the incredible day it was and truly, her value was something I will never regret investing in. If I can give one piece of advice, it is, HIRE A PLANNER. And not just any planner, but Jami Pollnow. That smile, those bouncing red curls, that knock out energy, its hard to find but its right here for the taking and you will not be disappointed. Thank you, Jami ❤️

If you’re looking for a planner or just a day of coordinator like us, look no further. Jami was AMAZING at all points leading up to our wedding all the way to the day of at Lakeside at Welch Estate. She listened to all my requests and executed all my dreams perfectly for the best day ever. She made sure that we didn’t have to lift a finger the day of, and we could not recommend Jami and her team more! We love Our Curated Design!!!

We were the luckiest couple to have Jami as our wedding planner. As soon as my husband and I got engaged we knew we had to get a wedding planner. My sister in law just got married 5 months before and Jami was her wedding planner. The wedding was perfect and my sister in law only had great things to say about her. Once engaged, we gave Jami a call, and we were truly blessed that she had our date available! Since we contacted her early in our wedding planning process, we had her with us through every step of the way. My husband and I got engaged one week before Covid happened. We were lucky enough to see venues and pick our venue before everything shut down. Unfortunately that was all that we were able to get accomplished. When talking to Jami we told her that we still needed all the other vendors. Jami has AMAZING recommendations and connections with so many great vendors. We picked our DJ, Photographer, Florist and Baker through Jami! I, of course, had an idea of what I wanted my wedding to be like. Now that I was engaged, I was so eager to start planning. I had told Jami all my ideas, showed her pictures and she was so passionate about helping me turn those dreams and ideas into reality. We were limited to a budget and Jami helped us bring the ideas to life while also keeping our budget in mind. We were planning our ceremony and reception to have around 100-115 people, as that was allowed in Virginia. However, two weeks before our wedding the governor limited parties to only twenty-five people. Jami and I talked on the phone about all the new changes, she took me through the next steps, and comforted me and reassured me that everything was going to be perfect. Let me tell you, she was absolutely right. We had a couple road bumps through this wedding process, but Jami helped us get through those, and we had the most perfect wedding. I couldn't even imagine my perfect day without her. She went above and beyond all expectations. There are not enough words to describe how amazing Jami is. I would recommend and refer Jami to anyone who wants to have a perfect wedding. She is truly passionate about what she does. I have created such an amazing friendship with Jami that I am hoping will last a lifetime! :)
