          llow me to formally introduce myself - my name is Jess and I am the founder of Not Jess A Planner. As a seasoned event planner with over a decade of experience, I am devoted to crafting your special day to perfection.

For me, wedding planning is more than just a job - it’s a calling.

My calling has driven me to create events that are joyous, memorable, and enchanting. I adore the creative process of wedding planning and I firmly believe that every wedding should be a unique reflection of the happy couple. I aim to design exquisite weddings that suit each couple’s individual style.

Understanding the importance of the occasion, I take charge of all aspects of the planning process - from arranging vendors to coordinating seating arrangements - ensuring you enjoy a stress-free experience. I am always available to address any queries you may have.

With a passion for creativity and a keen eye for detail, I am always looking for new and innovative ways to make each wedding stand out. I draw inspiration from diverse sources and continually strive to bring new ideas to life. From backyard weddings to elegant ballroom events, I commit myself to make every event one-of-a-kind.

At the heart of wedding planning lies the art of creating the perfect ambiance for one of the most important days of your life. Every detail presents a unique opportunity to manifest your vision and create a day that is truly remarkable.
