If you asked any of my friends to describe me, “Type A” probably would not even cover it. I am Type A+. I am incredibly detail oriented, organized, particular, and usually know exa...ctly what I want. So when I started planning our wedding 15 months ago, I knew I needed a planner who could keep up with me and stay ten steps ahead, but who would also bring a sense of calm to the process and never make me feel rushed or overwhelmed. Jessa was that person and so much more.
I went into planning with a very clear vision, but I had also never planned a wedding before. It is so easy to get lost in Pinterest, trends, and everything you are told you are “supposed” to do. From the beginning, I told Jessa the two things I cared about most were that our wedding felt like us and that everyone in the room could feel how much love was there. She never lost sight of that.
We had a very large wedding and a venue with some tricky logistical challenges because of our guest count. I was also incredibly specific about the look and feel. I wanted everything chic, elevated, and beautiful, but still simple and never overdone or corny. Jessa understood exactly what I meant and figured out how to bring every idea to life while making everything feel cohesive and completely us.
She is one of the calmest, coolest, most organized and resourceful people I have ever met. She was ALWAYS on it. Her vendor recommendations were top tier and every one felt intentional. She gave us amazing options within our budget, while also showing us choices slightly below and above so we could decide where we wanted to save or upgrade. We ultimately stayed under our wedding budget, which says so much about how thoughtfully she guided us.
What stands out most is how I felt throughout the entire process. From day one, people constantly asked me if I was stressed, and I genuinely never was. Then during our wedding weekend, multiple vendors told me I was one of the calmest and most relaxed brides they had ever worked with. That is truly a reflection of Jessa. I could be that bride because I trusted her completely.
Our wedding day was perfect. Not one thing went wrong from my perspective. I never felt like I needed to check on anything, solve a problem, or worry about what was happening behind the scenes. I got to simply be a bride, marry my best friend, and be completely present with the people we love. And somehow, 15 months after I first described my vision to Jessa, the day felt exactly how I had hoped. It felt like us, and there was so much love in that room.
Jessa is calm, incredibly savvy, organized, thoughtful, creative, and always ten steps ahead without ever making you feel rushed. She is everything you could possibly want in a wedding planner and more. She can walk into any venue, city, or environment, understand what needs to happen, and make it happen beautifully.
If you are looking for a wedding planner, Jessa is your person. Hiring her was one of the best decisions we made, and I genuinely cannot imagine our wedding without her.
