I started out as a wedding blogger, sharing the incredible work of talented wedding planners and vendors across the Carolinas. Those two years were an incredible learning experience, and they ignited a passion in me that I couldn’t ignore. In 2019, I decided it was time to take the leap and start planning weddings myself, and I haven’t looked back since! There’s something so magical about helping couples bring their dream weddings to life. From the first consultation to the final send-off, I pour my heart and soul into every detail, making sure each wedding is as unique and special as the love story behind it.

In three words: Creative, Innovative, Resourceful

    Jacinda was an amazing coordinator to work with. She was thorough, thoughtful, and exceeded on the day of the wedding. As a vendor it is extremely hard to find such reliable coordinators what know exactly how everything should go without us walking them through all our aspects. We love her and cannot wait to continue to work with her in the future.

    J'adore Jay was the perfect wedding planning team for our special day. From the moment we first reached out, they were incredibly timely, kind, and patient in their communication style. Their attention to detail and consistent high-quality work was evident throughout the entire planning process. When we needed assistance, they answered our texts quickly and handled any guest difficulties with ease, like when one guest insisted on changing their meal during the reception. J'adore Jay truly went above and beyond to make our wedding day absolutely perfect. We highly recommend them to any couple planning their dream wedding.

    Jacinda at J'adore Jay was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding and the best decision we made in the planning process!!! She went above and beyond and from the very beginning, Jacinda and her team were incredibly responsive, timely, and communicative, always making sure we felt informed and supported throughout the planning process. On the day of our wedding, Jacinda kept everything running smoothly, but in the most kind and calming way, allowing my husband and I to truly be present and enjoy the day. Jacinda even gave me her own hair tie so I could get back on the dance floor! Her work was truly amazing, and we would encourage anyone to hire J'adore Jay in a heartbeat. She is now not only who I will recommend to all my people, but I count her as a friend!
