We worked with Jessa Dunn from White Lace Events as our full service/lead wedding planner and she was INCREDIBLE. In every way. We went into the process without a clear idea of wha...t we wanted, and she patiently worked with us, helping us every step of the way to create the most beautiful wedding weekend. She translated my scattered, half-formed ideas about the “vibe” I wanted, into a cohesive, stunning vision that felt uniquely and effortlessly us. Not only does she have all of the skills you need in a wedding planner - organized, keeping us on track, negotiating great rates, problem solver, and knowledgable - but she is also so kind, thoughtful, creative, sweet, and a genuine joy to spend time with.
We planned our wedding with her in under 10 months and she made the whole planning process feel manageable, exciting, and so much fun. She found us amazing, sweet, and affordable vendors that helped bring our vision to life in a meaningful way. LOVED our vendors. Our vendors and our wedding venue team LOVED working with her every step of the way. She handled everything. She was also always available to text or call with us, and dealt with my many late night crazy wedding ideas with an open mind :) I am someone who asks a million questions and wants to understand everything, and she was there to answer every single one in a timely manner. She was a true partner in every moment.
The week of my wedding, one of the worst storms in southern California hit, and I was panicking. I could NOT have handled this without Jessa. She worked quickly to put together backup options for me, calling in favors from vendors and ordering new decor to her house last minute, to ensure any backup plan would not feel like a backup and would still bring our vision to life. Rain was probably the one thing I was most sad / scared of, and somehow she simultaneously made me feel validated in my feelings, but also confident that everything would turn out okay and excited about the changes. Everything turned out beautifully and exceeded ALL of our expectations. Most importantly, she took care of everything, allowing my husband and I to be truly present and enjoy the weekend to the fullest. There were so many things that came together last minute without me having to give it a moment's thought. She also had an incredible day-of team, that was always around to help with any questions me or any of the guests had. Everyone knew exactly where they needed to be and when, and each event flowed perfectly and went off without a hitch!
Jessa was without a doubt the best investment we made for our wedding and I cannot recommend her enough. She went above and beyond at every step of the way - even doing things she wasn't contractually obligated to do, just because she cares. Oh, and she did all of this while growing a baby. She's insane. We love her!!
P.S. I also have many friends planning CA weddings now with more expensive wedding planners, and hearing about their experiences has only made me feel even more confident that Jessa was the best decision we made. Jessa was so much more responsive than any of them, got us better prices on EVERYTHING, and was more like a friend / partner to us than any of them have been to my friends. All of my bridesmaids were obsessed with her too. Jessa is THE BEST. Message me if you have any questions about Jessa and I am more than happy to share more!!
