I’m not just planning a wedding--I am marrying the stylistic and strategic details of the day that marks the beginning of a beautiful new adventure. A day that represents years of courtship, the blossoming of love, and of all those indelible memories shared both by the Bride and Groom and by family and friends. From the way a Bride feels when she finally finds the perfect wedding dress, to the fee
I love working with families over the years on siblings weddings. A few years ago at the end of a North Carolina family property wedding, the sweet sister of the Bride said “I hope you know YOU are the only one my Mom will allow to plan my wedding now, and I hope to get married in Italy”. A few years later, this sweet sister, Olivia called me and asked “Will you plan my wedding….in Italy?” I would have planned it anywhere for her - but my YES came a little quicker than usual 🇮🇹
Olivia and Sam selected for their wedding venue based on its vibes and reputation for amazing service and food. All those components delivered for their event last weekend!
It was an honor + adventure to lead them through the destination wedding planning process. The project kicked off with researching so many Italian vendors that I wasn’t familiar with as it would be best to hire local talent vs flying too many vendors in from the US. I love playing matchmaker between a client and a vendor based on style {and personality when it’s needed}. We scouted, interviewed and hired the best florists, rentals, stationery designers, musicians, photographers + DJ. All talented, all kind, all on board to bring the right vibe.
I created a design deck to reflect the color story, floral designs, linens, paper goods, rental items, special touches to make the day feel just like Olivia + Sam. We edited plans pivoted and pushed when needed, followed up over and over until the plans were just right.
Thankful for the best team members, trusting clients, the prettiest weather and so many talented vendors that all pulled together to make this day spectacular.

It’s Testimonial Tuesday, where I let my clients do the talking 😉🙏🏼
“From our first meeting with Jessica, I knew we were in great hands! She understood our vision and knew exactly what we wanted, helping us secure the perfect venue and vendors for an out of town wedding - all within 9 months! Her attention to detail and dedication made our wedding incredibly special. Working with Jessica was such a blessing, and we couldn’t have done it without her!” - Macy

A Charleston wedding was the perfect fit for these two. The groom, a Citadel graduate had hopes of being married in the historic Summerall Chapel on campus. Both Macy + Andrew wanted an intimate reception with their nearest and dearest family members and friends.
served as the perfect venue for their 100 guests. We started with cocktail hour on the rooftop followed by a seated dinner in the ballroom, and finished up with music + mingling in Henrietta’s.

Here we are, at the end of January, 2025 and I’m proud to say I have entered my 18th year of being a Wedding Planner 🎉 As I type this, I am realizing I must plan a 20th Anniversary Party! 🥂
I’m forever grateful for a career that allows me to guide others with making decisions, the chance to design events that feel like a natural extension of my clients personal style, the opportunity to do the heavy lifting during year long {or more!} planning process so that clients can focus on their own careers and also the festivities related to celebrating the upcoming marriage and once the day arrives- to actually enjoy their time with dear friends and family.
2025 weddings will take me to my hometown of Columbia, SC | Greenville, SC | Atlanta, GA | Highlands, NC | Porto Ercole, Italy.
Thank you to my current, past and future clients 😉 for your trust and the fun we have along the way!
