Where does every great fairytale start? The beginning of course! My initial meeting with Jess was on the same day I found out my ceremony venue had the wrong date, and I had 4 months to find somewhere to get married. I was crushed, and thinking of canceling the meeting with Jess.. because how was I supposed to have a wedding without a venue? Well, I'm so glad I didn't! Within 2 minutes of our meeting, Jess had me completely calm & gave me 15+ suggestions on where to contact, and I hadn't even hired her yet! I knew by the end of our conversation she was exactly what I needed to execute a wedding in a city that was not where I lived. And boy, that's exactly what Stark White did! I didn't have a worry, and my wedding day was effortless on my part because of Jess & Ravonne's hard work, expertise & attention to detail. I cannot stress enough that if you're on the fence about hiring a coordinator, you should, and these are no doubt the ladies for the job!

Jess, Ravonne, and Ada helped make our wedding day the best day ever. I was one of those brides that was very stressed about every little detail and obsessed over everything going smoothly (I mean, I was having wedding nightmares for MONTHS leading up to the wedding). I also did a TON of DIY, including all of the flowers, decorations, signage, etc., and my venue was a fully-open museum the day of my wedding, so I needed a coordination team that would set up all of my very plentiful decorations, executed to my vision, and in a very short amount of time. Lemme tell you- Stark White DELIVERED. They seriously took every little anxiety I had and HANDLED IT. From the timeline, helping me make decisions about anything from hiring a limo to where to get photos, and coordinating with vendors, by the week of the wedding it felt like everything was off of my shoulders and into Ravonne's hands. On the day of the wedding, they executed everything exactly how I had envisioned it, with no hiccups, kept us to our timeline, and did it all with a smile on their faces. I'm actually convinced Ravonne is magic. It was such a perfect day and I know for sure it couldn't have been done without Stark White. Thank you thank you thank you for the amazing work <3

We cannot recommend Jess and Stark White Weddings highly enough! She was an absolute lifesaver before and on our wedding day, ensuring everything ran smoothly from start to finish. She kept our timeline on track, handled last-minute transportation hiccups seamlessly (including directing traffic after our bus driver made an incorrect stop on Forbes Avenue), and navigated unexpected rain without a hitch. Her calm, professional, and proactive approach made all the difference, allowing us to truly enjoy our day without stress. Everyone, including our other vendors, raved about how beautifully coordinated everything was, and we owe so much of that to her! If you're looking for someone who will go above and beyond to make your wedding day perfect, Jess is the best choice you could make!

We were on the fence for months about if we wanted to hire a coordinator or not. Once we met with Jess, we knew from the first 5 minutes that she was perfect for us and exactly what we needed. She helped us finalize our design choices, coordinated with all our vendors, helped set everything up at the venue, and so much more. Hiring Jess eased our minds and took a lot of the stress out of our wedding day for us. She was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, organized, detail-oriented, and went above and beyond to make our day so incredibly special. We were able to enjoy our wedding day because Jess and her team had everything handled and left us with absolutely nothing to worry about. I truly do not think we could have done it without Jess and her magic!

We couldn't have asked for a better day-of coordinator than Jessica! Coordinating a nearly 300 person wedding is certainly a task and being able to think of every detail that goes into it appears impossible. But, Jessica made it possible. From start to finish, she was there every step of the way, making the entire process seamless and stress-free. Her attention to detail is impeccable, and she anticipated every need before we even thought of it. On our wedding day, we didn’t have to worry about a single thing — Jessica had everything under control. Her professionalism and expertise truly showed, and it was clear she is an expert at what she does. Thanks to her, we were able to enjoy every moment of our special day. Highly recommend!

Jess and Ravonne made the entire wedding process so much easier. It was great to know that I wasn't the only one who had all the large and small details of the event living in my head. It was challenging for me to step back from planning on the day and only be the bride, but I had 100% trust that the event was in good hands.

On 6/1/2024 I was the DJ for the Liberatore wedding at The Grand Estate at Hidden Acres. Jessica took on the role as coordinator and made things go incredibly smoothly. Her preparation and attention day of prevented mishaps and turned the various vendors (each doing their own thing) into a coordinated team that operated as one well oiled unit.
As DJ I attend a lot of weddings and few things can set you up for success like having Stark White as your planner!

After interviewing a few different vendors, I hired Jessica at Stark White Weddings to act as our "day of" wedding coordinator. Our wedding was to be outdoors at a private lakeside property and we realized early on that it would require extensive planning and more than we could handle ourselves. Everything had to be brought onto the site (food, table set up, chairs, alter and decor, etc.). It was fairly complex with a lot of moving parts. We needed help in coordinating day of activities and handling the flow of the day, the guests, the ceremony, string musicians, caterer delivery, etc. In addition, the weather was leaning toward rain so we needed a back up plan just in case. We felt that we needed a day of wedding coordinator to assist and to enable us to relax some and enjoy the day. There was a lot of work to be done and Jessica hit it out of the park!
She created multiple zoom meetings prior to the wedding day to discuss our needs (we live 5 hours from the venue) and was quick to respond to all of our pre-wedding questions and concerns. Within a short time, she had created a detailed timeline for the wedding day and shared all information via a google doc site that she set up. She also ensured, in advance, that our vendors were clear of their contractual obligations so that potential vendor issues would be avoided. We had already hired the vendors but she took it upon herself to understand their obligation to us. She and her assistant arrived very early the morning of the wedding (the ceremony wasn't until 3 pm) to set up the table settings, help with floral set up and and ensured the reception/bar area was ready to go, among many other things. Anything we needed, she was on it. Rain did come along (unfortunately) and she and her assistant ensured that the ceremony space was changed up and that the wedding party and guests stayed comfortable and dry. The entire day, she and her assistant were professional, pleasant and always three steps ahead to avert any problems or issues. Because of her hard work and expert organization skills, we were able to really relax and enjoy the day's festivities. Her pricing is reasonable and she delivered everything she promised and then some! I strongly recommend Jessica and Stark White Weddings--she was amazing! (Thank you so much, Jessica & Kevin!)

I can’t thank Jess and her team enough. As with any wedding, we had some unexpected situations arise and she was quick to handle everything. For example, we had a guest have a seizure. Jess helped the guest, and handled the situation without us even knowing. A bridesmaid’s heel broke, she showed up with two new pairs. We are so incredibly thankful for her and her team. Our guests and bridal party have all stated how they enjoyed her.
