About me: Events create connection, and foster joy. Planning weddings and helping couples find a sense of calm and peace on their wedding day - feels like a calling for me. It’s not often enough we get our loved ones together in one space. Or that people get to fall in love and celebrate that rare and beautiful relationship together.
In planning my own wedding years ago, I found a new passion. Planning weddings brings together my detailed planning skills, my ability to manage a team, my art and design-school trained artistic eye - and my absolute love of seeing grandparents, aunties in their best dresses + kids getting down on the dance floor. I truly adore every single thing about weddings, and this work brings me such happiness. Seeing family and friends come together to celebrate new love and the formation of a new family - truly makes my heart sing.
I only take on a select number of weddings per year, to ensure I can give each client the time and attention that they need.
I'd love to hear from you and talk about how I can help remove stress from the planning process, and also - help you be able to truly enjoy your wedding! Please get in touch.
A wedding I coordinated and decorated was featured in Green Wedding Shoes and the bride said:
"Hire a day-of planner. We did the rest of the wedding planning ourselves, and it was NOT easy. However, we were working in a budget and we made everything work the way it had to. A lot of friends told me to at the least hire a day-of planner so that on the day we could relax, which we did. Honestly, the whole day is such a blur that I don’t even know how the wedding would have happened without her. I didn’t actively have to think about anything that was happening on the day, and she would come over and give us a tap on the shoulder whenever we needed to be elsewhere."

Outside of wedding planning, I am an amateur dancer, gardener, textile artist, a mom of two and a committed advocate, who works every day to support low-income New Yorkers by planning joy-filled events for non-profits.
“ I consider myself a very proactive and responsive bride, but there had been multiple times when Jen jumped on cases already before I even saw the email threads. She also really listened intently to our vision and made it her mission to bring it to life. Her attention to detail was impeccable, ensuring that every aspect of the day was flawlessly executed. The bottom line is — Jen was ALWAYS there for us, and that’s probably the most important thing you’ll need from a day-of coordinator.
Her calm presence was what every couple needed for their special day. Because of her, we were able to fully enjoy our day, knowing that everything was in capable hands.”
