Merrie was amazing and helped me customize what I needed within my budget. She kept me stress free on the day of, and was so supportive about all the odd little things I wanted to do. I had deities instead of table numbers, a maypole, an odd order for the wedding march, and a very specific timing for my aisle walk song that she helped with immensely. She made for a memorable night.

Working with Whitney from Gather was great. She made sure the day-of timeline was followed, coordinated with all the vendors, placed name cards and menus on each seat, and understood our overall needs that day. Our contract was for a very light touch prior to the big day, but during the couple of calls we were entitled to have with her to prepare, she was very resourceful and knowledgeable.

We worked with Helen Kang and am so glad we decided to get a "day of coordinator". At first, I really didn't know why it would be worthwhile when we had 2 venue coordinators but oh my goodness am I glad we had Helen help us plan and think through the million things we would have never thought of ourselves. We started talking with Helen about 2 months prior to our wedding. She helped us with our timelines, rehearsal, managing outside vendors, and of course did a TON the day of the wedding. She caught a lot of little details we didn't plan out 2 weeks prior to the wedding and was VERY flexible with our billion last minute updates like adding a whole Paebaek to the timeline literally the week of the wedding. Also it was SO great that Helen was pretty fluent in Korean as a lot of my guests spoke little to no English.

Kimberly’s Ever After Planning

Anaheim, CA
  • Offers 5 services
  • Starts at $2,500

My name is Kimberly and I’m a Disneyland bride. After almost a three year wedding postponement, I finally had my big day. I realized there were many moments during my wedding day, I wished I could have “cloned” myself. There were so many little things that needed my attention and being the bride, I wasn’t able to attend to them. I had to have either a bridesmaid or my mother handle it, which wasn’t ideal. I wanted everyone in the moment and enjoying the day with me. That’s the moment I realized I needed to prevent moments like this from happening to other wedding couples.

Awarded Best of Zola
If you are looking for a wedding coordinator, stop looking and hire Kimberly! There are not enough descriptive words that emulate how fabulous she is. What set Kimberly apart from the rest of the coordinators I talked to was her positive energy. Her vibrant personality radiated during our phone call & I knew she would be a much needed addition to my wedding day. Kimberly was meticulous in her planning & was a great comfort to have on my wedding day. The event could not have gone better, all thanks to Kimberly & her assistant, who worked seamlessly in the background to ensure everything went according to plan!

Hi there! My name is Joey and I absolutely LOVE weddings and working in a field I am passionate about! Genuine connection + creative design = my love language! My clients are like family to me and I pour my heart and soul into each and every one. My couples get SO MUCH from me. I specialize in custom weddings and can cover 3 MAJOR services for you: design & decor, florals, and coordination. I'm a huge DIYer, crafter, creator, decorator, stylist, and woodworker. I can create anything for you and work with ALL design styles. My custom design will elevate your wedding with unforgettable style & charm! WOW at a reasonable price!

There are not enough words in the English dictionary to describe how wonderful Joey is.

She listens to your individuality and embraces your ideas to create your own one-of-a-kind dream wedding. She takes the time and works hard in every single aspect of her craft -- it truly is amazing to have an artist that took the time to wrap 200 twinkle light strands with over 50 6 ft. fall leaf garlands and tie them up on the ceiling, all because I (the bride) wanted to feel like I was in an autumn rustic, twinkle light heaven. Hiring her is the best thing we did for our wedding. Not only did we have the wedding of our dreams, but we walked away with a lifelong friend. To hire Joey is to know your wedding or event will go off without a hitch. Trust me, just look at these photos!

One of the BEST decisions we made for our wedding was hiring Erin as our planner! Throughout the year of planning I could feel her love, dedication & excitement for our special day. Her warm emails instantly put a smile on my face & our monthly calls were always my favorite. She is incredibly organized, has great aesthetics and a wealth of knowledge when it comes to weddings, marriage and trusting the process. Erin has a heart of gold and she quickly went from planner, to my wedding bestie and our very special wedding officiant. We felt so incredibly honored that she took on that role on top of everything else (that's who she is, she goes above and beyond for her couples), the ceremony was so beautiful and I still get teary eyed thinking about it all. She told our love story perfectly! My husband and I still can't believe we had the wedding of our dreams, it was the BEST DAY of our lives. Every single detail was on point, we had nothing to worry about - everything was handled smoothly by the EmbraceU team! So many wedding guests commented on how lovely & sweet Erin and her team were, they treated everyone with so much kindness. As a bride, I felt so lucky to have found her!

Thank you for your interest in Perfectly Planned Occasion. My name is Kristina and I have been a planner my whole life. The only thing that has changed is what I am planning. In college I planned social outings and holiday parties for my roommates. Due to my love of organization I majored in Recreation and Leisure Studies, which included event planning at California State University. After graduation, I worked full-time in municipal recreation for the City of Cypress planning and day-of coordinating city-wide special events, as well as managing venues to host banquets, parties, and beautiful wedding receptions.

Kristina is an absolute magician and angel! Prior to my wedding day, she was incredibly helpful by asking all the right questions about things I never would have thought of. The week of, the weather was all over the place and we had to totally redo our layout to account for the possibility of rain. She was so patient and calming while I rattled through several terrible ideas before we landed on the best one together. She coordinated with all my vendors prior to the event and even made sure my venue allowed one of the vendors they tried to deny. For all my decor and visions, I was so disorganized and didn’t communicate anything very well, and she still was able to pull it all together and made sure everything was perfect and just as I had dreamed. Her assistant Kelly was like a whisp who floated here and there making everything happen without anyone noticing. They worked seamlessly with all my vendors and bridesmaids. Her pricing also seems so reasonable considering how much time and energy she put into me and my wedding. I wouldn’t have been able to enjoy my wedding day without her!

Placentia, CA
  • Offers 2 services
  • Starts at $4,500

Karen Sieger founded Blissfully Styled Events with one simple goal: to provide a planning process couples could actually enjoy. As the go-to event enthusiast any time her friends were planning a celebration, she’d long dreamt of planning parties professionally, but it wasn’t until 2016—when a vendor at her sister’s wedding was surprised to hear Karen wasn’t actually a professional wedding planner—that she decided to leave behind a 20-year career as a real estate executive and make the leap she’d long contemplated.

Karen and her team have gone above and beyond to help coordinate our wedding back in April and we are still dreaming of that wonderful day! I was originally in the planning process with another coordinator who had a job switch during this process and thus I was referred to Karen. Right off the bat Karen was super on top of everything, and so kind and patient, also just fun to work with. We hit it off with her right away – she was super responsive and knowledgeable. On our wedding day and rehearsal as well she kept the whole crew on top of everything, and everything ran on time and seamlessly. I remember she came over to us during dinner reception and reminded us to take a moment to take it all in with each other – I now realized how important that was as I am still dreaming of that day and reliving all the moments in my mind. At the end of the evening – everything got packed neatly away into our cars so all we had to do was drive back. It was so amazing to work with her we cannot thank her and her team enough for their efforts to make our special day the best ever.

Hi! I'm Tavi (pronounced Teh-Vee). Hun Events is a boutique wedding planning & event design company with a focus on the sweet details of intimate gatherings. I specialize in weddings that range from 30-100 guests, but also work with larger events and am always open to unique venues and experiences! I plan weddings in Los Angeles, Central Coast, and Orange/Ventura/San Diego Counties.

Awarded Best of Zola
Man, where do we start? My fiance and I found Hun Events through Zola and we couldn't be happier we did. From our first Zoom meeting and all the way through our wedding day, Tavi was fun, knowledgeable, honest, communicative, and just plain easy to work with. With budget in mind, we opted for Hun Events’ 2-month coordination plan plus custom design services. We were initially concerned this wouldn’t be enough, but even six months out from our wedding, Tavi was scheduling appointments and meeting with us in person to pick out place settings. She was always quick to respond to any questions we had via text or email. We rarely felt lost - and even when we did, we felt comfortable letting her know, and she’d always happily point us in the right direction. Tavi also helped us immensely with design, taking our vague ideas and turning them into several excellent options for us to choose from. My fiancé and I are both notoriously indecisive, and Tavi was so incredibly patient with us throughout the entire planning process. Once we landed on all the signage we wanted, she handled the logistics of getting everything printed and transported to the venue. All of which is to say: it's hard to overstate how much Tavi took off of our plate, both mentally and physically. By the time our wedding day arrived, we were 100% confident that Tavi would knock it out of the park. She didn’t disappoint - her attention to detail and constant communication never wavered. Getting married is stressful stuff, especially for two people with anxiety, and we honestly couldn’t imagine having done it without Tavi. Her day-of assistant, Katie, was also a total pro. We honestly feel like we got in on the ground floor of an incredible wedding planner who will soon (rightfully) be charging much more for her services. Do not think twice about hiring her!

Positively Charming Weddings was key in making our day as beautiful as it was. Carissa’s experience and passion for planning was quite clear from the first consultation. Even after bringing her on with only 6 months to the date, she managed to help boost the planning process with her organization and engaging us when needed via scheduled appointments or quick text follow-ups. We appreciated her vendor list but also her flexibility to off-list vendors. Her assistance in interfacing with the vendors through the whole process (inquiry, quoting, details/scheduling) was a huge lift off our shoulders that we cannot emphasize enough. Her work in the design aspect of the wedding not only resulted in everything looking gorgeous, but also made sure the details we cared about as the couple were accounted for. On top of all of that when we could no longer ignore the rain that was forecasted on our wedding day, Carissa made sure we had the proper arrangements just days prior to the wedding, all while my now husband and I were juggling work. In terms of day of, literally do not think the day could have happened without Carissa and her team. From directing all the vendors, corralling the wedding party and family, setting up decor, putting out food, and following up with us to make sure we were fine all day, we are super grateful to have had Carissa as our planner and would highly recommend her to other couples!

We're a happily married couple that's been through the same process you're about to enter into, and we're seeking to help others capture their most special day—without fussing over the details. We fell in love in 2012 and haven’t looked back since. Together we bring you 20+ years of experience in having and creating fun, and YU & US was created as an embodiment of our partnership today. Jane’s love for personalized, bespoke weddings and events, coupled with Jon’s passion for finding and blasting the best tunes, is the winning combination any client would want for their special occasion.

Awarded Best of Zola
Personally, we found the idea of planning a wedding (even the smaller version we were contemplating) to be completely overwhelming. Planning any kind of event, much less a wedding, is not our forte. By sheer luck, we came across reviews for Yu & Us, checked out their website, and decided to give them a call. I am so glad we did. Jane and Jon were absolutely wonderful to work with. This may sound corny, but Jane really did make the planning process easy and fun. She took the time to get to know us, learn what mattered to us most for the wedding, and make sure those aspects were prioritized. She never tried to push any type of vision on us and was always able to answer any questions we had. Throughout the planning process, she made sure that everything was organized and on schedule. She was also amazing at handling everything the day of. Because of the incredible job she did, our wedding was stress-free and the best party we could ask for.

Hi! I am Clemence the face behind The Perfect Pair Wedding :) I am born & raised in France, in the city of love Paris. During college I got the chance to do a semester abroad in San Diego, and met this really special, handsome, American guy... You see it coming? YES! After 3 years of long distance relationship, I finally married the love of my life. A little bit about The Perfect Pair Wedding... it is a San Diego based Wedding planning company, we plan & design weddings all over Southern California to bring to life our Perfect Pair's dreams.

Awarded Best of Zola
When we started wedding planning we weren’t sure if we would have any kind of wedding planner or coordinator but we are SO glad we decided to work with Clemence from The Perfect Pair Wedding!! We hired Clemence to be our day-of coordinator and we honestly couldn’t have gotten through the day without her and her wonderful assistant Emily! We spoke on the phone about working together and were immediately excited to work with her. Clemence is so sweet and fun to chat with, but also very straightforward which we knew we needed as we can both be a bit wishy washy when making decisions. In hiring a day-of coordinator, we thought we were getting just that, but really her work began much sooner. Upon hiring her, she sent us documents to help keep track of everything in the months leading up to the wedding so that when we were a month out, she could jump in full swing. Clemence is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to planning and she answered every question we had along the way with confidence and kindness knowing we were learning as we went. When we were unsure about decor, seating charts, you name it, she was happy to jump on a call and walk us through options. On top of everything, she was amazing at helping us stick to our budget - especially when it came to decor!! She is immensely organized and efficient and that was only proved further on the day of the wedding. She communicated with us and our vendors every step of the way so that on the day we were truly worry free. We are eternally grateful to Clemence and her assistant Emily for making our dream wedding come true. And on top of everything, the two of them are just lovely, sweet people. Who could ask for more? We could not recommend working with The Perfect Pair Wedding strongly enough!!

Where do I even begin with Evelyn and Love & Laughter Weddings? Working with them for our NYC wedding was like having your coolest, most organized friend magically transform into a superhero wedding planner. Five stars aren't enough! From day one, they got our vibe and ran with it. The whole process felt less like business and more like planning a giant party with your best friends who happen to know EVERYTHING about weddings in the city. It was all heart eyes and high-fives from start to finish. The attention to detail was on point. I'm talking about Insta-worthy details that had our guests snapping pics left and right. Our wedding wasn't just an event; it was a personalized masterpiece, carefully curated by the Love & Laughter team. And can we talk about their local knowledge? They didn't just recommend venues; they curated experiences. We ended up with a wedding that was so 'us' it was like they peeked into our dreams and made it happen. What sets Evelyn and the entire team at Love & Laughter apart is their infectious energy. Wedding planning can be stressful, but these guys turned it into a series of laugh-out-loud moments. They made us feel like we were planning the coolest party of the year – and spoiler alert, it totally was. Our wedding day was a blast, and we owe it all to Love & Laughter Weddings. If you want your wedding to be a party and not just an event, these are the people to make it happen. Youthful, professional, and downright awesome.

My now-husband and I first hired Jesse as a videographer after going back and forth about if we even wanted to do videography, as our wedding budget was quite small. After talking back and forth over email with the super-responsive Jesse, I mentioned that I was thinking about hiring a day-of coordinator so that I wouldn't have to handle anything on he day of my wedding, and Jesse said that she also provided DOC services! The price was right, so we booked her - and man did she come through! Even though I was only expecting help on the day of my wedding, Jesse was SO helpful in the months leading up - we had two Zoom calls plus countless emails and texts. Her planning docs helped me organize everything, and her input was invaluable. As Jesse was the main videographer on the day of, she brought an assistant who managed all of the coordination activities on the day of as well as a second videographer.

She offered helpful suggestions and ideas, but was also open and prioritized the bride and groom’s wants first. Communication was always prompt. Preparing for the wedding felt like brainstorming with a friend as opposed to how intimidating planning a large event can be. During the wedding, Korina was calm and collected, which helped with our own wedding jitters. Even when we thought her duties were over, a decor item was left behind at the venue and Korina made sure it got back to us, even if it meant a drive since we aren’t local to San Diego.

Grand Entrance Affairs is a wedding-planning business located in Los Angeles, CA. Owner and lead planner, Ingrid, has 13+ years of industry experience and connections and a great passion for helping people celebrate their cherished milestone moments. She is a big "people person" and thrives on the excitement and energy that comes with planning weddings and other special events. Ingrid’s ultimate goal for each client is to create an event they can be fully present to enjoy with their nearest and dearest. From the initial design to the day-of delivery, she and her team are dedicated to creating the wedding of your dreams—piece by piece.

I was almost not going to choose Ingrid as a wedding coordinator and that would have been one of my biggest regrets as a bride for my wedding. I actually had already put a small deposit down for another wedding coordinator, but once I met Ingrid, she stole my heart. She was my calm to my storm, my ying to my yang, my Robin to my Batman…etc Ingrid is not only an amazing wedding coordinator, but she is also an amazing wedding officiant. She took our love story and crazy ceremony ideas (such as taking a shot with us along with our guests before we sealed the deal or taping our ring box underneath one of the chairs for a surprise ring bearer) and created the ceremony of our dreams. To hear from multiple guests that it was the best ceremony they attended was the best compliment we could receive because the ceremony is the most important part of a wedding. It was my favorite part of my wedding. Then she can amazingly switch gears from officiant to wedding coordinator and rock that too. She can do it all (literally). I always have other couples tell us that their wedding day goes by very fast and they didn’t really get to enjoy all the little things. However, my husband and I felt like our special day did not go by so fast and we most definitely got to enjoy the little things mainly because Ingrid took care of everything behind the scenes that no one sees. She created an amazing timeline for us, took charge of our vendors, made sure we were right on schedule with everything, was super communicative along the way… the list goes on and on. She is everything you would want in a wedding coordinator. I am very sad I won’t get to work with her anymore unless I get married again lol, but I would recommend her to anyone I know and hopefully get to see her in action again.

Kiss & Say I Do is one of the few reasons our wedding went off without a hitch. Our wedding day was perfect and it was due to their great advice, easy to use website and wisdom. They were available whenever we had a small or big question. They advised us when we were unsure if we should do this or that and provided us with past experiences and provided perspective. Professionals in every sense of the word. Being bilingual was a huge help in not only communicating with friends and family but also the vast array of vendors and they’re own methods of communication whether it was email, text, or phone calls. I highly recommend them to anyone who is even thinking of getting married, and regardless if it is a small or bid event. A special shout out to Karla, who made us feel so welcomed and warm and loved. She was able to navigate even the sensitive issues with class. We truly are grateful and appreciative of every little moment that led up to the big day and grateful we had Kiss & Say I Do so that we were allowed to bask in our day without a worry or being preoccupied if we forgot something or what needed to be done next because it was already taken care of.

I have been officially working as a professional wedding planner since 2017. My love of all things weddings and events began at an early age. I worked at a country club in the summers before my freshman and sophomore year of college, I worked on the food and beverage staff which included being a banquet server, and can you guess which was my favorite shift to work, you guessed it, the weddings. Once I got to the point in my life where my friends were starting to get engaged and I was a bridesmaid in their weddings, I found myself taking on extra duties and wanting to be more involved that it hit me, I need to pursue being an event planner.

Chelsea was truly everything and more that we could have asked for in our wedding planner! Throughout the planning process, she answered all of my (exceptionally minute) questions easily and without hesitation, provided her opinion when I asked, and offered support whenever we needed. During the actual day of our wedding, she seamlessly took care of all details and seemed to be anywhere and everywhere. Many things she took care of I didn't hear about until after the event because she managed them so quickly! Beyond her incredible attention to detail, organizational skills, and calming demeanor- she is truly so much fun to work with. My bridesmaids / family members all were talking about how awesome she was the next day. I think I literally told her I loved her at the end of the night?

I could fill the entire Pacific Ocean with compliments for Michelle and her team. Michelle was part of our planning process for nearly 2.5 years (thanks 2020). Despite endless uncertainties, Michelle was always patient, kind, understanding, and optimistic while realistic. We always felt we could trust Michelle no matter the issue - which is the most important when choosing your vendors. Not only does she have a great eye for design, she is meticulous and detail oriented. She provided all the organization and design resources we needed and truly understood our vision. A huge plus is that she is well attuned to East Asian traditions and can speak to guests who do not understand English. There were so many details we would have missed had it not been for Michelle. Even though our bridal party and family only had short interactions with Michelle on the wedding day, they all commented and were so impressed by her level of organization, positive attitude, and constant smile. When the weather prediction showed 70% chance of rain on our wedding the entire week leading up to it, Michelle worked hard even at late hours to ensure we had a backup plan that fit our vision and communicated with our vendors for options. Not only so, she paid for an hourly weather app to see if it would stop raining by our ceremony time. By some miracle, the rain cleared. When we needed extra rentals at the last minute, Michelle went out of her way to help us pick them up and received packages for us since we were out of town. We never expected any vendor to do this for us. These are just a few examples of the numerous times she went above and beyond. Although she juggles many events, she always makes you feel like you are the top priority. Michelle will treat your wedding like her own with the full attention it deserves. Our day was perfect, all thanks to the Somni Events team!

I’m a practical, organized, creative, resourceful, and resilient, “jeans and t-shirt” type chick. Well, the San Diego part of me is anyway.

I recently worked with Stephanie at the Japanese Friendship Garden in San Diego, CA to throw an amazing wedding for our couple. I love working with Stephanie as she’s friendly, helpful, and she’s funny which helps when the stresses of the wedding day catch-up with me as a DJ. DJing and MCing weddings often puts me front and center so it can be a lot of pressure and Stephanie helps alleviate that stress by providing professional wisdom and experience. Make no mistake, Stephanie is running the show but from the behind the scenes and she’s leading the vendors to pull off a successful event. Stephanie knows how to take initiative but also knows when to trust others and let them do their thing and I really enjoy that about working with her thanks Stephanie!

I have worked in event planning for a few years now. For weddings in particular, I have always worked on the vendor management side of things. When my vendors constantly asked why I wasn't a coordinator myself, I realized that I hadn't even considered it.

We could write an entire novel on how amazing B was and why you should book her, so keep that in mind as we try and simplify that down to this review. Incredible, life saver, the best thing we could have done for our wedding, yeah those are just a few of the hundreds of reasons why I would suggest B as your wedding planner/coordinator. She went above and beyond to make sure our day was exactly what we wanted, listening to us and providing guidance from her experience on what would work best and couldn’t be happier with the results! We were initially trying to plan things ourselves in an effort to save a dime, but as things drew closer, that became the cause of many a stressful days given that our schedules during the week were not conducive to getting much planning done together. We also knew with how much was going into the wedding day, we wanted to be able to enjoy it and not be stressed. B jumped onboard 2.5 months before our big day, our venue had very specific rules to be followed and most of the contracts were in place, so she was kind of pigeonholed to work with the people we chose, none of which she had worked with before. The few vendors that we hadn’t finalized, she had options for and helped us secure, and they were fantastic. We had one VERY challenging vendor that she was on top of, more than we realized, and took care of the daily follow ups that this vendor ended up needing in order to make it to the big day. B handled everything very professionally, helped bring things to us in timely manners with To-do lists, and asked all the questions we didn’t even know to ask. Type A organization at its best! She is super personable but also stern in a way that gets results and clearly aligns expectations from all parties. Come wedding day, B was on it!!! She had everything planned out to a T and was able to adapt to the changes we wanted as they came up. She brought all the vendors together on the same page, dealt with the issues that were bound to come up as they did without us ever knowing that anything happened, and did so with the biggest smile on her face. The venue personnel even commented on how much more she was doing than others when it came to the clean up post wedding. We’ve had so many people comment on how amazing she was and our family is already wanting to use her for the next wedding. We left our wedding day so happy, it was everything we wanted and more and there is absolutely NO way it would have been remotely as amazing without B. We are so grateful we found her and can not recommend her enough!

Emily and her team are the reason that our day came together so beautifully (and why we could actually enjoy it and leave our stress behind!) Emily is professional, personable, and incredibly attentive to detail. We felt confident that she understood our vision for the wedding and would work tirelessly to make it a reality. Emily coordinated our wedding, which was very DIY with lots of handmade details and at a non-traditional wedding venue. I had obsessively planned myself for months, and she stepped in and took the reins allowing me to fully enjoy the wedding day. Emily's communication throughout the planning process was exceptional. She was always available to answer any questions I had... and talked me down when I was overwhelmed! She worked so well with our vendors and made sure that everything was organized and coordinated perfectly. She truly went above and beyond to make sure every aspect of our wedding day was executed flawlessly. On the day of the wedding, Emily and her team were amazing. They worked tirelessly to ensure that every detail was taken care of, from setting up the ceremony and reception spaces to making sure the timeline ran smoothly. Our very shy flower girl even warmed up immediately to Emily. She can work will with anyone and everyone! I really do think that it was thanks to Emily's hard work and expertise, our wedding day was absolutely perfect.

We are so grateful to have had Emily as our wedding coordinator and would highly recommend her and have to many friends and family since.

I have started my business at the beginning of 2023 and so far I've had clients for my wedding planning package as well as the stationary. I am focused on Partial, Full time Wedding planning, Elopements and A-la carte wedding planning. My goal is to help my clients and make sure that their wedding goes by the plan that they created.

I highly recommend before you say I do for your wedding. Anny went above and beyond. She communicated very thoroughly and well. She even bought me my favorite coffee on my wedding day. Anny was not only my day of coordinator but turned into my friend helping me every step of the way! The wedding was beautiful and she took the dress away.

Kari and Jess of Feathered Arrow are the ultimate professionals, which to me means: organized, chill, and encouraging of your vision for the day. They helped my husband and I articulate what we wanted, found vendors to achieve that goal, and executed the big day flawlessly. Whenever I felt overwhelmed, I reached out and got help. Whenever I questioned my colorful ideas, they provided reassurance and suggestions to enhance the design. Whenever I needed to just squeal with excitement, these two were ready to celebrate.

Rachel is a gem. She was flexible and so easy to work with. The support we had from her the day of the wedding was so helpful. We had a very fun light hearted wedding and was hoping she would reflect that energy which she really did with dressing up and cracking jokes to break tension all while being attentive and professional. The only regret we have is that we wished we went with her full package.

Stop what you’re doing and hire Jessica for your wedding! She is incredibly organized, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to work with. She made sure we had all of our final preparations finished on a timely schedule and she attended our final meeting with the venue to make sure everything was perfect. The timeline she created for the day was amazing, and she truly made the big day go as smooth as possible. Another great perk was the use of her wedding decoration/reception inventory. It was incredibly helpful (not to mention cost effective) to use things like picture frames, votive candles, etc instead of having to buy them. Not only did I love her, but both my family and my husband’s family had nothing but amazing things to say about working with and interacting with her during the wedding. We can’t thank Jessica and her team enough!
