What Our Happy Clients Have To Say
Jessie and her team were wonderful!!!!! She exceeded my expectations and made my vision come to life for our perfect wedding. It was very hard to find a planner who would be the first one there and last one to leave on the day of the wedding. Jessie and her team checked off all of our boxes- and me, being very particular- I wanted to make sure my day was covered and in good hands on my wedding day. Even with COVID- we had some last minute issues with vendors and she went over and above to help us find replacements with only 48 hours until the wedding date. We were treated like royalty on our wedding day and her wedding schedule went smoothly. I had a different vendor for every aspect of our wedding and she kept all of them in line and on schedule. Her team is very organized and finished every detail down to the tee. Highly recommend using them for any event planning service.

Our initial meeting with Jessie, my fiancé and I sat with her for close to two hours. I so appreciated the amount of time she took with us, working to get to know us as a couple, our vision for the wedding and leaving with action items to get us moving. Anytime throughout our year of planning where I began to feel anxious or overwhelmed, a phone call from Jessie would instantly relinquish any of my fears or anxieties. ESPECIALLY while planning a wedding during a national pandemic. Her optimism, her decisiveness and her ability to simply “get” what you are looking for simply go unmatched. She was super communicative, easily accessible, sought out approval for every detail and made sure communication amongst all vendors was taken care of throughout the process. She’s truly one of a kind.
