My husband, Grant, and I had had prior experience planning events, so we had hoped to avoid hiring a wedding coordinator. We wanted to have control over our event, we feared putting such important tasks in someone else's hands, and we thought that we could save a buck. Luckily, our worries were unfounded. Looking back I can't imagine not having Jackie as part of our wedding experience. My mom and I still laugh about how unprepared we were for the intricacies of planning a wedding. Especially when we were planning it from Chicago. We only visited California once prior to our wedding and everything else was accomplished over the phone and email. Jackie had a detailed itinerary waiting for us upon our arrival and we never stopped. She narrowed down the vendors, so that we only had to interview the three that best fit our needs. This saved us a lot of time. And we never once questioned the vendors that she chose for us to meet. Everyone that Jackie referred was professional, friendly, and performed outstanding work. At the end of the day, my husband and I were able to make all of the final decisions that defined our event and we were able to do it with the piece of mind that we had selected from the best of the best.

I interviewed 6 wedding coordinators as we narrowed down our wedding ideas. After, I got off the phone with Jackie; I knew that we had found the right one for us. Grant and I still count Jackie as a friend. After all of her hard work and effort to make our wedding such a special affair, it was impossible to walk away from the friendship that was made. We can't say enough about Jackie's warm personality, attention to detail, ability to help keep you on course, and her wonderful contacts throughout Wine Country. You won't be disappointed. Our friends and family are still talking about our wedding and how amazing it was -- thanks to Jackie.
