I’ve had the pleasure to work as a photographer for weddings designed and executed by Jess and her team, and it is always a pleasure! Having worked with multiple wedding planners in the industry, I can tell you that Jess goes above and beyond for her clients.

I truly cannot say enough good things about Jess and the Wedding Company of Williamsburg. I initially wanted to plan my small, intimate wedding myself and was reluctant to ask for help but it quickly became apparent that it was snowballing into a stressful task instead of something I was looking forward to. That’s when I started googling wedding event planners and saw that Wedding Co. of Williamsburg had so many 5-star reviews, and now after being a client of theirs I can understand why. Jess took all the stress I was feeling and turned wedding planning into something that was a fun and exciting time in my life. Every idea I had, she knew the exact right vendor to contact to make it happen and executed it perfectly. I was operating with a tight wedding budget and she was able to somehow make sure I had everything I wanted. Besides being extremely knowledgeable about the area and how to run a wedding seamlessly - she was a joy to work with! I was able to be fully present on my wedding day confident that Jess and her team had everything under control. If you’re hesitating on wondering if you should hire them, I would simply say to read and trust all the glowing reviews, they are well earned!

I am an October 2024 bride who had full wedding planning services with the Wedding Co. of Williamsburg, and the service was truly worth every single penny. Jess and the rest of her team are professional, easy to work with, and excellent at their jobs. Perhaps most importantly, they made our planning process fun, and allowed us to enjoy the experience rather than stress over it. Below are a few reasons why I think Jess and her team are the absolute best in the business! 1. Jess knows Williamsburg's wedding industry better than anyone else. She helped us coordinate all of our vendors (florals, desserts, rentals, draping, etc.) and she went to do the "in-person" things we weren't able to (we live in Arlington). Because of Jess's relationship with the local vendors, she was also able to get us discounts and special accommodations that I don't think we would have been able to get on our own. 2. Jess makes herself available to her clients and is excellent at communicating. Jess completely accommodated our busy work schedules and met with us on Zoom at 8:00 pm. She also scheduled our Williamsburg meetings on the weekends so that we didn't have to miss work! She was available via text and voice memo and after every meeting she sent us an email summarizing what we had discussed and our game plan for the coming weeks and days. 3. She helped us stay on budget. Jess made sure to monitor our budget throughout the entirety of the planning process. She created a beautiful design plan that was tailored to our budget, and, adjusted the plan as needed as we got closer to our wedding day and made changes. She gave us honest opinions about what was and wasn't worth our money, and she helped us think creatively about how to make our money go the furthest. She also negotiated certain aspects of our contracts with the vendors to make sure we got everything we needed at the best price. 4. Jess and her team handled EVERYTHING on our wedding day to make sure it went off without a hitch. They coordinated all of our vendors, all of the set up, and all of the odds and ends that came up throughout the day. She made sure everything ran on time throughout the day (according to the VERY detailed timeline she created) and she even made sure we remembered to eat during the reception! Because of Jess and her team, we were able to simply relax and enjoy the day! I could write a novel about how amazing Jess and her team are. She made our wedding everything we wanted it to be and more. If you aren't in the wedding industry, you don't know what you don't know, and having an expert like Jess is invaluable!

Jess, owner of the Wedding Co of Williamsburg, is not only creative, collaborative, caring, and hardworking — but she’s the best. My cousin, who is from LA, and had the most fabulous wedding, noted she was the best planner she’s ever seen. That says something. I went to Jess with a specific vision and we worked collaboratively to exceed it! I don’t know what I would have done without her. Jess tailors the experience to each bride and pours her heart into every detail and aspect of your wedding. When she says she will cry at your wedding and you will become friends. She means it. You are in great hands with Jess. The day wouldn’t have been the same without her or her team. They made it a dream.

We selected the Full Coordination Package and pulled in Jess about a year before our wedding... and it was worth every. single. penny. My now husband and I were living far from Williamsburg, both working busy jobs, and decided early on that we'd want help. Jess knows so much about weddings in general and specifically Williamsburg-area vendors, and even though I am an organized person, there is no way I could have kept track of everything without her and kept my sanity. She is incredibly responsive, beyond friendly, and finds a great balance between letting you run with your own vision and adding in her own suggestions based on her experience. On the day of the wedding, everything went beyond smoothly. Jess and her team kept everything on-time, the whole place looked gorgeous, and they were all so friendly and supportive throughout. If anything went wrong that day, we had zero clue, because in our eyes it was everything we'd hoped for and more. I have told every friend of mine that when they get married they should do everything they can to save the money for a planner because our experience with Jess was truly invaluable.
