Planning a wedding and creating a truly meaningful experience for you and your guests is no easy task. Choosing the perfect location, selecting the right vendors, allocating your budget, and balancing family expectations can feel unmanageable, especially when you have so much on the go.
Planning aside, you also want a wedding that feels effortless and true to who you are, but instead, you’re buried under a sea of Pinterest boards, TikTok trends, and cookie-cutter checklists, unsure of how to bring it all together.
That’s where we step in! Our planning and design approach ensures your wedding day is seamlessly planned, resonates with who you are as a couple, and allows you and your guests to be fully present in your celebration.

"She was there for every step in the planning process, and made sure we stayed on track with timelines and budget decisions. She made the whole wedding planning process so enjoyable. The most common advice I received after I got engaged was to “enjoy the day” - having Jess and her team there the day of the wedding really allowed me to sit back and enjoy while she made sure everything ran smoothly."
