This DUO Wedding BEST Decision EVER!
Where do I even BEGIN?! I cannot say enough about Jessie and Chris with Vows and Vibes. Booking them was one of the BEST decisions we made for our wedding! We booked them nearly TWO YEARS in advance, and I knew from the beginning we'd found something special. Jessie is SO much more than a day-of coordinator. From our first call, she treated us like friends and true partners in planning. She welcomed countless conversations, met with us over Zoom, and she and Chris made several trips to our venue to meet in person. Not once did we feel like an inconvenience. They genuinely wanted our day to be everything we dreamed of. Jessie learned my vision so well that by the wedding, she could execute it without me needing to oversee a thing. And I'm a sliiiiight control freak, so that's HUGE! From the moment she arrived in my bridal suite, she was ON IT—helping our friends and venue team set up, organizing all the moving pieces, and handling behind-the-scenes hiccups I didn't even know about until later. I got to simply enjoy being a bride. What a gift. And our CEREMONY. Jessie was our officiant, and I can't imagine anyone else telling our story. Their thoughtful questionnaires let me share every detail of how we met and fell in love. Jessie turned it into a ceremony that was funny, faith-filled, romantic, deeply personal, and wonderfully tear-jerking. Multiple guests told us they'd never happy-cried or ugly-cried so much at a wedding. Those were EXACTLY the feelings I hoped our loved ones would experience! And CHRIS. Oh my goodness, CHRIS!!! He is one of the most talented musicians I've EVER heard. Months before our wedding, he began creating a special acoustic cover of the song my husband chose for me to walk down the aisle to. I still can't describe what that meant to us. His live acoustic music made our ceremony so intimate and romantic, then set the perfect vibe for our welcome reception and dinner. And he brought the energy to the dance floor, too! SO many friends and family asked where we'd found him—I ran out of fingers and toes to count! Jessie was also an incredible MC, keeping the evening flowing beautifully. And there's something extra special about this husband-and-wife team: you can feel how much heart they put into celebrating other people's love stories. What stays with me most is that Jessie and Chris didn't just provide services. They genuinely CARED - about us, our families, our vision, and every moment of our day. We felt that from our first conversation to the final song. If you're considering Vows and Vibes, PLEASE stop looking. Book them. Trust them. They are exceptional at what they do, but even more exceptional people. They gave us the freedom to be completely present for the best day of our lives. I wish I had more photos to share. But - from the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU, Jessie and Chris. We'd choose you a thousand times over!! — Erin & Brandon

We cannot recommend Vows & Vibes enough! From the moment we started planning until the very last song of the night, everything was handled with such care and attention to detail. As our day-of-coordinator, Jessie kept everything running smoothly, managed the timeline, made sure everyone was where they needed to be when they needed to be there, and made sure we could truly relax and enjoy our wedding day without worrying about the details. As our DJ, Chris absolutely nailed it. We have received so many compliments about the music and DJ since our wedding day. The music was amazing, he kept the energy up all night, and the dance floor was packed from start to finish. They did an amazing job reading the crowd and creating such a fun atmosphere. If you are looking for someone who can not only keep the party going but also make your entire wedding day stress-free, look no further. Thank you Vows & Vibes for making our wedding day everything we dreamed of and more!

From our first conversation with Jessie and Chris at Vows & Vibes, we knew we had made the right choice. They were responsive and crystal clear about everything, making the planning process smooth and stress-free. When bad weather forced us to shift things around last minute, they adapted without hesitation and even took the time to learn a special Brazilian song for my entrance, which made that moment absolutely unforgettable. What really stood out was how much they genuinely cared about bringing our vision to life—they weren't just playing music, they were invested in making sure every detail felt personal to us. Jessie and Chris have a gift for making you feel celebrated from day one, and their professionalism combined with their warmth made our reception feel truly special. If you want a band that will go the extra mile to create a personalized celebration, we can't recommend them enough.

AMAZING!!!
Vows & Vibes was the BEST decision we made at our wedding! (Besides getting married of course lol) Chris and Jessie were fantastic. Chris is a phenomenal entertainer and Jessie was a godsend on our wedding day. She stepped up as a day of coordinator and made the day feel seamless and stress free. The venue ran into a few issues the day of and Jessie stepped in to make sure it got fixed before anyone noticed. The wedding guests knew where to be and when. She was fantastic! They both kept the party going from the ceremony to the reception. If you’re looking for a kick a** entertainer and an amazing day of coordinator to make your big day a party to remember, I would 1000% recommend booking with Vows & Vibes. All I can say is thank you for being a big part of what made our day so special!

All the Good Vibes
I had the pleasure of working with Chris and Jessie of Vows & Vibes on a project where they set up an event to do what they do best: throw a great party. Not only is Chris an incredibly talented performer, but a very thoughtful person—even though I was just the photographer, he was sure to ask my what my favorite song was so he could play it during the festivities! And Jessie is such a bright, bubbly person, it was such a joy to watch her whisk around the dance floor getting to know people and hyping everyone up. They were both so easy to talk to and I enjoyed spending time with them throughout the evening. I would definitely recommend their services to anyone looking for a different, fun reception experience!
