MEET JENNIFER
Planning a wedding or event is about more than just checking off a to-do list—it’s about creating an experience that reflects who you are. That’s where I come in! When you hire me, you’re not just getting a planner; you’re getting a bestie, hype woman, and logistics mastermind all rolled into one.
With 25 years of entrepreneurial experience, I know how to handle every moving piece of an event. From owning a taxi business (so I definitely have transportation and travel coordination down) to running a restaurant (meaning I totally get guest experience, catering, and vendor relationships), I bring expert-level organization, creativity, and problem-solving to every celebration.
My passion for sustainability and plant-based living plays a big role in how I approach events, but let me be clear—I don’t only work with vegan couples! Your wedding should be a reflection of you, and my goal is to help you design a day that aligns with your values, whatever they may be. Whether you want a fully plant-based menu or just a touch of sustainability woven into your decor choices, I make sure your event is both beautiful and thoughtfully designed to create less waste and more joy.
More than anything, I prioritize connection with my couples. I take the time to understand who you are, what makes you excited, and what truly matters to you. My job is to ease your stress, bring your vision to life, and make sure you actually have fun along the way—because weddings shouldn’t feel like work! When you hire me, you’re getting a ride-or-die who will be just as invested in your day as you are.

The Vibe Check *
👩🏻🌾 Dream Farm Goals: One of my biggest dreams? Owning a ranch with pot-bellied pigs, chickens, baby goats, and highland cows. How cute is that?!
🎧 Music Lover & Aspiring DJ: If I weren't planning events, I’d probably be DJ-ing! I have an obsession with music—I was a recording artist in my 20’s, dabbled in production back in the day, and I’m always down for a music festival or concert.
🎸 Guitar Dreams (Crushed): Tried to learn the guitar once... but my pinkies are too short. Let’s just say it didn’t go well, but I’m not mad about it.
🕯️ Tablescapes = Love: Tablescapes are my love language! Give me candles, florals, fun napkins and unique tableware, and I'll create magic for your event.
🍩 Sweet Tooth Confession: Oreos, Doughnuts, watermelon sour patch, and red licorice. Don’t judge, but I’ve got a serious sweet tooth!
❤️🔥 Love Is Blind Obsessed: Yes, I've watched every season from every country, and Mexico was hands down my favorite. (Don’t even get me started on it.)
☕️🍸 Espresso Martinis & Tea: My two fuels of choice. Whether I’m sipping an espresso martini or a warm cup of tea, these keep me going while crafting your perfect event timeline.
💪🏽 Hustler Vibes: I'm all about passion, hustle, and making things happen. I love the grind—whether it’s finding the perfect venue (17 visited in one week, no big deal!) or getting your dream event planned.
