Say Yes With Jess Weddings

Jess and Cassidy worked with us on our wedding in September 2024. Cassidy was on site and she was amazing! She helped with the planning process, timelines, and day of coordination. They made sure all the little things were perfect! Highly recommend!

Jess is the best! She is super organized and experienced. We hired her to be our wedding planner and chose the full planning option, meaning that she found all of our vendors and did all of the planning, in addition to day of coordination. She uses a very thorough Google Doc to do most of the planning which was super convenient for me to access and update. Her knowledge of the vendors in the Sevierville/Knoxville area was SO helpful since we were coming in from out of town. We only traveled to Tennessee one time before the actual wedding so we really relied on Jess to make sure we had everything ready to go. She also has her own inventory of decor that her clients get full access as part of her planning package. Our wedding day went so smoothly thanks to Jess and her team. I felt like I really got to just be present in the moment and not worry about who was taking care of our guests. She really cares about her couples and often reminded us that the most important part of the day was that we were getting married! :)

Jess not only met, but exceeded our expectations for a wedding planner! She was fantastic in helping us talk through and narrow down the vision for our wedding, and there was not a single detail she did not think of throughout the entire process. “Detail oriented” is an understatement to describe her abilities! There are so many elements that we never thought of prior to planning a wedding and Jess was prompt to take care of anything and everything that came our way! She always responded quickly to our questions and she remained diligent in making sure all vendors were accounted for, and kept us on schedule as we approached our date. While the day of a wedding is exciting, it can also be stressful and overwhelming. Jess did everything to make sure our wedding day was perfect, and even when things went wrong (which they will!) she handled it with so much grace we didn’t even know there was a problem to begin with. Jess was truly the best decision we made for our wedding and we could not recommend her enough!!

If you are considering hiring Say Yes With Jess for your wedding - just do it!! Jess, Jessi, and Cassidy are the nicest people and our wedding never could’ve happened without them. Jess is attentive, organize, communicative, and leaves no detail up in the air. She is kind and always willing to answer questions. Jessi and Cassidy worked our wedding the day of. Jessi wrote our timeline and communicated with all of our vendors. We literally did not stress about a single thing on our wedding day because they were so on top of everything. From placing decorations, to tracking down groomsmen, they literally did it all with a smile on their faces. We were able to sit back, relax, and enjoy the most special day with our families thanks to them. I seriously can’t say enough good things about Say Yes With Jess. We are so thankful for this incredible team who helped our day run so smoothly!

What an absolute treat it has been working with Say Yes with Jess! Jessi was our lead coordinator for our wedding on September 28th - and everything was perfect. Jessi had a flawless timeline put together, ran a super smooth rehearsal the night before, and was so helpful the day of! Everything ran smoothly, on time, and she put everything together so beautifully! My table settings, ceremony, bar area, literally everything was so beautiful! We were a destination couple, and planning out of state was a challenge in itself. Anything I may have forgotten - she took care of! From making my dream reception become reality to making sure my dress was perfect to walk down the aisle, she did all of it! We also can't forget Lexi, her assistant who also was a huge help! Prior to the wedding, we had a few super informative and helpful meetings over zoom, and the email communication was great! They are always responsive, and they advocate for you when it comes to vendors! (This is so important when you're a destination couple!) if you're looking for a coordination team - these girls are exactly who you want to work with!

We hired Jess as our day of coordinator, however, she was so much more than that! She was so helpful throughout the entire planning process and even helped guide our planning to make sure we were on track. She was also always available for any questions we had, which were a lot. Our wedding day went so smoothly - we literally could not imagine a more perfect day if we tried! Thank you Jess and her team for making our day so great! 10/10 recommend

Jess was amazing to use for our wedding back in May! she was so professional and so organized when it come to planning. Our wedding wouldn’t have been able to happen if it wasn’t for her. She provides her expertise and brought up many things that we didn’t think about make everything fall perfectly!

I had my wedding on 11 May 2024, my Fiance and I hired Jess around 14 months before the wedding and chose her full planning package. Jess was our most vital and flawless vendor of our day and the many months leading up to the big day. I cannot recommend her enough. Her demeanor is always so kind, she gives amazing advice and always supported us in what we wanted, she helped us navigate wedding drama and so much more. She goes above and beyond with everything. She was incredibly organized and ensured the day went off so so smoothly, she set up our décor, directed out vendors, ensured the thorough timeline she created went off perfectly. We had an officiant issue and she found us a new one the night before our wedding before we even knew there was a problem. She truly made our wedding possible. We live in Japan and she helped us plan from across the world, even making specific meeting times that worked with our schedules between our jobs and the time zone differences. I can’t properly describe the level of appreciation we have for everything Jess did for us, it is evident she is passionate about her craft, and cares so much for her clients. -Rachel & David

DO NOT HESITATE BOOKING JESS!!! An absolutely incredible person and planner. We hired her as our day-of wedding coordinator and honestly I would’ve thought we hired her as a full on wedding planner with the amount of time and organization and help she gave us throughout the entire basically year leading up to our wedding. We got married at the Magnolia and she had done wedding there before and knew all the contacts and basically all of our vendors had nothing but great things to say about her when we told them who our coordinator was so we just got extra reassurance along the way. Any questions or concerns I had, she helped with anything and everything and was so organized too which I absolutely loved because I am so detail oriented!! The day-of, her and her assistant did such a great job setting up and making sure everything ran smoothly and they were such time and life savers. She made the wedding planning process so much less stressful and more fun, also her inventory is really great too, a majority of our wedding decore was stuff that she brought. She saved us so much money with her inventory and just ideas on how to repurpose a lot of the florals. Our wedding table and reception was beautiful thanks to them setting it all up!! Can’t say enough nice things about Jess, please book her if you want an incredible wedding experience 🤍

We absolutely loved having Jess as our wedding planner!! She was everything you would want in a wedding planner - organized, on top of it, fun, personal, and worked well under stress. It was easy to tell she knew what she was doing and has lots of experience and connections in the wedding business! She was also very flexible and catered to our dreams and requests. I would highly recommend her to anyone!

As a wedding photographer, working with an organized, professional wedding coordinator is soooo important! Jess is one of my very favorites in East Tennessee! Not only is she super sweet & genuinely so excited for all of her couples, but she knows how to plan & execute a wedding day! I love that her timelines are so organized & that she helps with family photo lists to expedite that process. She is the queen of bringing a vision to life! I photographed an Alice in Wonderland themed wedding that she designed this fall & it was beyond stunning! I recommend Say yes with Jess Weddings to anyone needing a planner/coordinator! 10/10!

Where do I even begin!? Our day wouldn't have been as perfect without Jess and her teams expertise! From day one everything was well thought out and organized. She made it fun, easy, and most importantly, as STRESS FREE as possible! Dan and i actually got to ENJOY the planning together. Our wedding day flowed so smoothly and was so magical, it was hard for us to leave. Jess is wonderful and i will recommend her to anyone.

I wish I could give more stars. Jess is truly amazing and made our wedding just absolutely perfect. She is organized, communicative, supportive, and just amazing is every way I can think. Throughout the entire planning process we knew that Jess had our backs. I can not say enough to truly say how wonderful she made the process of getting married instead and stressful.

It's absolutely no exaggeration to say that we could not have done this without Jess. To start with the most important part, the day of the wedding (October 21, 2023, at the Trillium Venue in Sevierville) went flawlessly from start to finish, in large part thanks to Jess’s diligence, patience, and attention to detail that ensured everything was set up properly, the pre-agreed timeline was adhered to, and my now-wife and I were in a great place throughout the entire experience. Even my notoriously meticulous parents were thoroughly impressed by how smoothly everything went from the moment we walked into the ceremony all the way to the sendoff at 10 pm that night. We hired "Say Yes with Jess" close to two years prior to our wedding date, easily the smartest investment during the entire process. She was especially excited to work with us due to our shared German heritage and was eager to help us make our dream to incorporate some German elements into the event a reality. She is extremely well-versed in the Knoxville/Sevierville/Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg area and presented us with a variety of vendors to choose from that matched our aesthetic, thematic and financial priorities. We were particularly impressed with her resourcefulness and determination in helping us find a caterer for German food, something that didn’t strike us as feasible in this area of the country at first. Instead, she brought us three different options and the one we went with (Bradford Catering) impressed everyone on the day of the wedding, including the German guests in attendance. Her bakery recommendation turned out terrific as well (Heidi’s Home Cooking) and the Black Forest Cake and bee sting bars tasted every bit as good as you would find in Germany. This all goes to show that Jess will try her hardest to implement your vision and find creative solutions to make it happen for you. Communication during the planning process was regular and detailed to the point where we never had any reason to doubt that our wedding would be a complete success. My groomsmen were flabbergasted by the length and comprehensiveness of the timeline we were provided with for the big day. Weddings live and die by the thoroughness of the wedding planner and Jess exceeded all of our expectations in getting us prepared for the day to the point where we knew exactly what was happening when, how, and why. She coordinated with all of our vendors during the leadup of the wedding and clearly had a great working relationship with all of them. She had worked with several couples who had gotten married at the Trillium previously and it showed that she was aware of the ins and outs of the place and knew exactly how to best utilize it to our advantage. Perhaps most importantly though, Jess is a fun, pleasant and energetic person, who will completely embrace your ideas for the wedding you want to have and make them a reality. We were profoundly moved by a recording she had her mom make for us to congratulate us on our wedding day in German. It was obvious that we mattered to Jess and that she cared deeply about us having the wedding we always imagined and hoped for in our dreams. While we are sad that our professional relationship with her has come to an end after two years, we would unequivocally recommend her to any couples wanting to get married in this part of the country and have complete confidence that she will make your wedding as wonderful as she did ours.

We hired Jess and her team for day of coordination for our wedding in Knoxville but she did so much more than that. First, they really made sure we were on track leading up to the event with a few virtual meetings (we live in California). Then they helped with decor and wedding vision, which we really needed! Finally, the time line and coordination of vendors arriving in the big day was a huuuuge help! Of course I had last minute changes and Jessi (her assistant) managed it all with grace. Our wedding went perfectly and seamlessly. Most of the time Jess was just behind the scenes, which was great - just the right mix of coordinating and letting us do our thing. We couldn’t have done it without them. All of our vendors were impressed as well. Highly recommend Jess and her team!!!

Jess and her team were absolutely amazing with the entire wedding planning process. Jess was always quick to answer my questions and to offer advice. I was nervous about the process of planning a destination wedding, but she made it a breeze. On the actual wedding day, if anything went wrong, I was unaware because she made it all run so smoothly! We loved that she suggested having a private dinner, as that was one of our favorite parts of the day! Whatever advice she gives, you should take it!! All the vendors we worked with had nothing but nice things to say about working with her and her team as well! It was also an added bonus for us that she has her own inventory available for her brides to use as we traveled from Chicago to Tennessee, making the entire trip easier for us! We HIGHLY recommend booking Say Yes with Jess for your wedding! (The Magnolia Venue, 8/26/23)

Jess is AMAZING. She planned our whole wedding and made it an absolute dream. She listened to exactly what my husband and I envisioned and made it come to life! She made sure everything went smoothly months in advance from the planning perspective and took all the stress off of me the day of. We truly couldn’t have had a better day thanks to Jess. If you’re considering a planner, we HIGHLY recommend Jess!

From beginning to end, Jess was amazing to work with! I knew after our consultation meeting that she would be the perfect wedding planner for our event, as she was so friendly to talk to and showed she truly cared about us as a couple and our vision for the big day. We worked with Jess for 18 months prior to the wedding, and throughout the entire time, she continuously checked in to make sure we were staying on track with our vendor decisions and was always easily within reach if we had any questions. Jess went above and beyond to make our lives easier throughout the planning process and ensure our day ran smoothly. She collected vases we could use for pillar candles for months leading up to our wedding and assisted in dropping off other vendor's items for us after the wedding was over. Additionally, Jess showed her top-of-the-notch skills/craft when she came up with creative ways to incorporate special decor around our venue (like making a paper crane archway that guests swooned over) and had an amazing solution to our unique officiant needs. These are just a few examples of how Jess's professional experience was something we definitely wouldn't be able to replicate on our own. Also, every other vendor we worked with commented on how easy it was to coordinate with Jess and how thorough their individual wedding day timelines/instructions from Jess were. Our wedding day was perfect and most importantly, my husband and I were actually able to enjoy (and be physically & mentally present for) the majority of the day because Jess and her assistant handled everything! She was one of the best vendor decisions we made and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a planner/coordinator.

Jess is simply the greatest. We hired her as our day-of coordinator and she went above and beyond (and pretty much to outer space) to help us. She is beyond professional, very organized, and a pleasure to work with. Our wedding was everything we could have ever wanted and Jess is 100% the reason why. As a perfectionist who likes to control pretty much everything, Jess made it possible to sit back and enjoy my wedding. Kind of sad our wedding is over because we won’t get to hang out with her anymore! Not only did we have a great professional experience with Jess, we truly feel like we made a friend. Stop looking and book with Jess!!!!

Jess was an absolute delight to have as our wedding coordinator. Extremely knowledgeable of and in touch with vendors in the East Tennessee area. Very prompt to respond to all the questions we had and knows exactly which questions to ask at every point in the process. Cannot say enough good things.

You want Jess on your vendor team! I am a wedding vendor myself and work alongside many wedding planners, and my heart skips a beat each time I get to work with Jess + one of her couples. Her attention to detail throughout the planning process and crafting a wedding timeline is so helpful for both her couples and each wedding vendor helping the day come together. I can't recommend her enough!

Hiring Jess as our wedding planner was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. She's organized, detail oriented, and helps make planning a big event a simpler task. My husband and I did the partial planning package which was perfect for us. I was able to actually relax and enjoy our wedding weekend because I knew Jess and her team had everything under control. Our wedding was absolutely beautiful and we had such a fun time. If you're on the fence about hiring a planner or even a day of coordinator, I would invest in Say Yes with Jess Weddings because when you put so much time and so many resources into a special day, you want to make sure you enjoy it.

I hired Jess to be my day of coordinator for my wedding and it was the best decision! She responds to emails within the day, has a massive decor inventory that saved me a lot of money, wrote a thorough questionnaire that guided me throughout my planning process, and her day of timeline was so thorough it made the day move so smooth! I would recommend her to anyone needing a day of coordinator.

Say Yes with Jess Weddings did a phenomenal job. Jess was helpful through every step and made sure our special day was perfect!

We booked Jess in early 2021 for our wedding in July 2022. From the first email we sent her up to our wedding day, she was there for us to answer any questions or concerns we had. We recommend her to any couple who is looking for a fun, personable, and organized wedding coordinator. She did an AMAZING job and if we could give her 10 stars, we would! Thank you again Jess, we would not have been able to pull this off without you!

I literally could not have done my wedding with out Jess! I told her my vision, and she made it come to life! She also ensured that everything was organized and ran so smoothly!

It would have been next to impossible to find a better wedding planner in the area. Jess is the type of wedding planner that will solve problems without adding any stress to the bride & groom which makes the planning process and day-of activities so much simpler and more enjoyable. She always had my and my fiancee's back when it came to solving tough problems. On the big day, Jess was the perfect amount of involved so that everything went off without a hitch, but she wasn't so involved that it felt like she was always breathing down our necks. If you are looking for a kind, detail-oriented, and thoughtful planner who will take your dreams and turn them into reality, look no further than Say Yes With Jess Weddings.

Jess went above and beyond! She thought of every little detail and made our wedding day a stress-free experience!! I cannot recommend her enough and will be forever grateful for all the hard work she put into our big day.

If you need a wedding planner, you need Jess! We had her as our day of coordinator and she went above and beyond that role! She has a vast inventory of décor that is free to use. She is loaded with suggestions if you need help narrowing down our options or don't have any options at all. She followed up and coordinating with all of the vendors, which I didn't realize how helpful that would be until the wedding came about. She is the most organized person I have ever met! She made the day as stress free as it could possibly be. Even when Jess was pregnant and 2 weeks after she had her baby girl, she never missed a beat. We had some last minute casualties and she helped fix them right away! Our wedding was the first wedding her assistant Jessi had worked and you would've never known. They were a spectacular pair! I didn't lift a finger on our wedding day and it was all thanks to Jess! Not only is she an incredible planner, but she is very sweet, thoughtful, professional and the easiest person to get along with. She really cares about her work and making your day exactly how you want it to be. She is worth every penny spent, and more! Would recommend her to anyone!

If you are in need of a wedding planner look no further than Say Yes with Jess! She’s super amazing and knowledgeable with a great list of recommended vendors. I am from out of town and Jess made the wedding planning process so much easier. I was not stressed during the planning and she is easy to talk to and communicate with if you need any questions answered. Jess is very personable and focuses on what you want and suggests options for you to pick from if you are at a loss. Jess only wants what is best for you! Given the option again pick Jess and you will not regret your decision.

Jess is AMAZING. She made our wedding day so special and went above and beyond for us. She is so professional and so so good at what she does!!!

When we first contracted with Jess we were very excited about the detailed level of service that she stated she offered for wedding planning. And in the first few months things were great, but as time went on we started to see concerns. There were several months when items were committed but received extremely late, and often only after repeated prodding. And when that had reached a point of frustration Jess did offer a $200 discount off her rate, but our assumption was that her service level would return to what was committed but that did not happen. That then led us up to the weekend of my wedding (10/2), which started with her being over 20 minutes late to meet us in Knoxville to pick up decor items I needed to finish. We were hoping that was going to be an isolated event but unfortunately it was not. Jess was then 30 minutes late to the rehearsal on Friday (which she had planned), which left us with 30+ individuals (including grandparents) standing outside waiting on her arrival, her response, which she had used on other occasions, was “pregnancy brain”. On Saturday we were hoping that things would be much more organized but they were not. When it was getting close to time for the ceremony there was little to no direction provided by Jess to the wedding party on where to go, when to line up & how to proceed. The mothers were all left wondering where they needed to be and wandered out into the parking lot once they saw a procession of grandparents being led across the lot. No one was managing the procession to ensure things were going smoothly and that the bride wouldn't be seen early. Additionally, there was no direction of where the bride, groom, wedding party and parents were supposed to walk to after the recessional.  No one adequately cared for the private dinner for the bride & groom, as committed, therefore it was entirely missed. Then at the reception there were tables where there were no knives or napkins present, and the small plates did not get put out with the cake table. Party favors and photo booth pictures were overlooked, which meant those items weren't taken by guests thus missing out on the whole intent for those items. And at the end of the evening, while I know everyone was likely tired, my family & parents friends were trying to help clean up and Jess’s reaction of being short, curt, and even in some circumstances disrespectful was really disappointing. To put in reference, my husband and I did try to address these issues with Jess post wedding before writing this review. But not to our surprise, she decided to blame “pregnancy brain” and other vendors involved in the day such as the DJ for not making announcements she told him, the photographer for directing us differently to ensure we got our couple photos, the food catering for not having things set up to make plates for us, and even her day of assistant for missing the plate set up. Overall, our experience with Jess was extremely disappointing. We realize our review seems to differ quite significantly from the experience I have read of others. I am not sure why we did not receive the same quality of service that others did. As stated, we did contact Jess about these issues and she agreed these things did occur.

Say Yes With Jess is the ultimate wedding coordinator! Jess is such a pleasure to work, especially during the chaotic season of wedding planning, as she provides structure and insight to the process. Jess is extremely organized. Her process of planning is streamlined to ensure you have the best experience on your wedding day! She is detail-oriented, professional, hard-working and flexible, all while carrying with her a bright, happy and fun attitude to her work. Thinking back on my wedding day, I could not have asked for anything more. Everything flowed so smoothly, the aspects that I cared most about were emphasized, and I felt at ease during all of it, thanks to Jess! I would not hesitate hiring Jess as your wedding planner.

Hands down, Jess was the best money we spent on our entire wedding day. Having her as an expert opinion, planner extraordinaire, eagle eye, vendor contact, and SO much more, is the biggest peace of mind you can have on your wedding day. Jess has an absolute gift for wedding planning. She was also one of the friendliest and easiest people to spend a large portion of time with on the biggest day of our lives. I have always been someone who couldn’t imagine relinquishing responsibility and worry on my wedding day, Jess changed that 1000%. From morning until tear down, logistics and worry didn’t cross my mind a single time thanks to her and her wonderful assistant. We couldn’t recommend her highly enough for all wedding planning needs. Thanks, Jess!

Jess was the absolute best wedding planner we could have asked for! From a large wedding party (32 people) to a last minute torrential downpour, Jess handled every obstacle with grace and professionalism. She was attentive to our “must haves” and paid special attention to the small details we wanted to be a part of our special day. She went above and beyond what was expected and is truly one of a kind. She knows the ins and outs of the industry, as well as the best local vendors for every budget and vibe.

Wow. Where to even begin! JESS IS PHENOMENAL! She is so organized and and went ABOVE AND BEYOND. We hired Jess for day of coordination but she did even more than that. She was always available and has so much knowledge about the wedding industry. She helped make our day so special and even coordinated with my husband to pull off a huge surprise for me. We couldn’t have had our big day without Jess. Whether you are looking for day of coordinating or a full planner, look no further. JESS IS YOUR GIRL. Also her little girl is the cutest so that’s also a plus 😊

Hiring Jess was one of the BEST decisions we made throughout the wedding process! I reached out to her based off her reviews on the Knot and they did not disappoint. She EXCEEDED our expectations! Since hiring her back in February, she laid everything out for us and made the whole process so easy. I never had to worry if things were getting done or if we were missing something, she gave us super helpful checklists every month to make sure we were on top of everything! All of my other vendors complimented her to me on her thoroughness and attention to detail. Our wedding day was an absolute breeze and she was always checking on us and making sure we had everything we needed. Not only is she amazing at her job, but she is an amazing person with a heart of gold and genuine care to make sure our day way perfect! Not to mention, using her decor inventory was a major plus and help! We love you Jess, thank you for making our day perfect!

Jess crushed our wedding! We hired her for day-of coordination, but honestly she was so much more than that! We had multiple meetings leading up to the day and Jess had me fill out an insanely detailed Google Doc with every detail leading up to the big day. The day-of ran so smoothly, even with switching to our rain plan last minute. Jess and her assistant Abby had the whole reception broken down by the time we left and our families were able to leave less than an hour after we left. If you were on the fence about hiring a day-of coordinator- Do it, and hire Jess now!!

There are no words to describe how grateful we are for Jess and all she did for our wedding. Our wedding will be featured on TLC’s Say Yes to the Dress. She was a heaven sent when coordinating with the film crews, making sure décor was just as we dreamed, ensuring interviews were done, and most of all-ensuring we had the best day. She handled it like a champ and everything went smoothly. She kept our bridal party together at the rehearsal and on the day of. She made sure everything was planned perfectly so there was nothing to worry about when the day came. She coordinated with all our vendors and made the most in-depth timeline I have ever seen. Even when I accidentally tossed the bouquet too high and it landed in the chandelier, she saved the day. I would recommend Jess to everyone!!!!! Best day ever!!!

Jess was amazing! We hired her as our day of coordinator, and she was so so so great! We had several meetings leading up to our big day, including a final walk through, and she has the planning system down to a T! She thought of everything-details both major and minor that we hadn't contemplated. This was helpful in managing the stress of being a bride and planning an entire wedding. Jess was so helpful and willing to step in and manage vendors, delivery times, timeline, etc. This enabled us to relax on wedding day and enjoy ourselves. She also helped me narrow down my decor vision, and her inventory that comes along with her service is versatile and classy! There are a lot of finishing touches to choose from! Our wedding day was perfect, and I cannot imagine it coming together without Jess's help! Book her ASAP-you will be so glad you did!!!

Jess was absolutely incredible to work with. I have no idea how I could have planned a wedding without her. She's very detail-oriented and thought of things that I hadn't even considered. She went above and beyond for us in the months, weeks, and days leading up to our wedding. I feel so fortunate that we had the chance to work with Jess. I would hire her again in a heartbeat!

I honestly never planned on hiring a wedding planner but our venue required a day of coordinator. I stumbled upon Say Yes with Jess in my search and thank goodness...Jess is truly a miracle worker! I pride myself on being detail oriented and organized but Jess takes it to another level. Even though we only hired her for day-of services, we met with her several months out to do a deep dive and then she kicked into full gear about a month out. There are so many minute details that go into a wedding and she thinks of EVERY.SINGLE.ONE! She was great with the gentle nudges to ensure we stayed on track with our timeline and gave great advice and suggestions throughout the entire process. Wedding planning can be quite stressful, add in a pandemic and the ever-changing regulations and constant stressors and you could easily get overwhelmed. I never had to worry about that because Jess was right there to take everything and run with it. There is soooo much that goes on behind the scenes on the big day but I didn't have to think about any of it. She kept me at ease and I felt so calm and content all day because all I needed to do was focus on was my love for my friends, family, and husband. There's truly no better wedding gift than to be able to sit back and soak in every single moment of such a magical day. Jess is the definition of servant hearted and her passion is evident in everything she does. If you're wondering about whether or not you need/want a wedding coordinator/planner, don't think, just go ahead and book Jess!

WOW. I had heard all the horror stories about weddings and having Jess by my side truly saved my sanity. As the bride, I was told that my wedding day would be the most fun/ stressful of my life. I was warned about the endless questions asked, the lack of time with my new husband, the impossible stress of double checking everything... I DIDN'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH ANY OF THAT. Jess and her assistant Abby handled everything so gracefully! I was never asked many questions at all because Jess and Abby were answering all of them for me. Jess helped me plan time to eat dinner with my husband in private and ensured I had enough time throughout the day to just sit and take it all in. Jess put together "the most organized timeline" my pastor had ever seen in his years of performing wedding ceremonies. My vendors all mentioned that they were impressed by Jess' organization as well. We even had quite a few "OH NO" moments and Jess was the queen of making plans A, B, C, D, etc. I highly recommend hiring Jess to be your FULL, partial, or day of wedding coordinator. (fair warning though, she's going to do such an amazing job that you'll regret it if you don't hire her as a full planner). I should've hired Jess the day my husband proposed, truly. We got too far into the wedding process to use Jess as a full planner and I regret it because we wasted so much time on things that Jess could've finished in minutes. If you're getting married or know someone who is, just know that Jess saved us SO much money in negotiations with vendors, countless hours of frustrating phone calls and timeline crafting, she literally made our wedding come together without a hitch. Absolutely nothing went wrong. Jess and Abby also looked calm and like they were genuinely having fun ALL DAY. They hung out with me at the salon as I got ready and every time I looked up at them I was greeted with a smile. Thank you Jess & Abby for putting the entire day together & for all the little things you did all day to ensure I had the time I needed to relax and have fun. I was expecting to have a really hectic day, but instead had a fun relaxing day thanks to you two. BOOK SAY YES WITH JESS NOW, seriously don't wait. She's gonna book up fast and you're going to wish she could be there for your big day too.

Jess is THE best money hands down we spent during this entire planning process. She's extremely organized: her docs ensure every detail - from who's taking the dogs home from the ceremony to what song you want played when - are thought of and written down. She's well-connected: don't know who you want as your DJ or you suddenly need a videographer? Jess already has suggestions for you, they're already vetted because she's worked with them before, and you don't even have to contact them, she's already got them dialed. And, she's understanding: whether you're as traditional as a Wedding March processional or as nontraditional as a lightsaber exit, Jess has GOT you and will match your energy and make what EVER you dream come true. This shouldn't be understated. We knew that the coordinator was someone we'd be working with very closely, and we were honestly nervous that our style may not "fit" a "traditional" wedding. None of that matters with Jess, who saw immediately what we were about, made us feel SO comfortable with no judgements, and then took the weight of planning off of us so we could actually enjoy being engaged. The planning stage would have been 1000x more stressful without her, but whenever stressful thoughts would come up like, "did we pay that deposit?" or "did we think about this detail?", we could relax again because we knew "Ah, Jess has this handled." People say "If I could do it all over again, I wouldn't change a thing." Well, with the pandemic, we actually get to put our money where our mouth is! We decided to postpone our wedding a week before it was set to happen. But the first thing we did was lock down Jess as our first vendor, because when we start planning all over again, there's no chance we'd attempt it without her at our side. So how good is she? We said Yes with Jess twice!

Jess & her team were AMAZING! I am someone who is a huge planner, really organized, & picky. Jess met every expectation & more through her organization & attention to detail. Through each meeting, she covered every single detail big & small. I am a very opinionated bride & she made me feel so comfortable. All my vendors had great things to say about her. I even had guests all night complimenting how she helped them with certain things. Also, I did my own thing & went off of tradition with a few things. Jess would share how things are “usually” done or common but let me make my wedding my own & supported any idea I had. She is the reason I can say my wedding was a success!! Hire her & you won’t be disappointed!
