“If you are looking for a wedding planner who will bring your wedding vision to life, please hire Jess asap! We planned our destination Utah wedding from out of state and she was amazing. She helped us find incredible vendors and created a beyond gorgeous weekend for us. We also used her floral company, which was an amazing decision because the flowers were stunning. Her calm and level headed attitude was also very appreciated, especially when we were feeling stressed or anxious about planning. We highly recommend Jessica for your wedding weekend!!”

“As a wedding photographer who has been to literally hundreds of weddings and seen both great and terrible vendors, it was really hard for me to ask for help when planning my wedding. Jess stepped in at the 11th hour to do coordination for our microwedding— something that i didn’t think at first I needed, but could not have been MORE helpful. Jess is not only a fantastic human being in terms of work ethic and talent, but she did what very few people can do for me— keep me super chill, completely unconcerned, and calm. Our food was an hour and a half late (the caterers mistake) and Jess calmed handled the situation while helping make snack plates for my guests to eat while simultaneously talking me down when I was stressed. She has such a great attention to detail, blends right in with the group in the best way, and is so reliable, wonderful, and talented. Don’t think twice, just book her.”

We feel so lucky to be able to have had Jess plan our wedding. She made our non-transitional disco wedding come to life. Leading up to the wedding she was always available when needed, and held our hand every step of the way. Not only did she plan our wedding, but she also designed our decor and florals. She truly is a one stop shop which made the planning process super easy for us. She is super easy going, easy to work with, and has a beautiful eye for design. The day of the event, she was there all day managing vendors, family members, and even power outages. She handled it like a seasoned vet. I’m so grateful we had her there, it made our special day stress free. If you are on the fence, book with Jess, you won’t forget it”

“Ugh. If google allowed 10/5 stars thats what Jess deserves. I hired her for floral and a picnic setup for my elopement. She absolutely exceeded my expectations! She perfectly portrayed both mine and my fiancés tastes in the most beautiful way. She was very responsive, helpful and knowledgeable whenever I had any questions. Her unique take on florals and her creative design are something I’ve never seen or experienced. Hire her! You won’t regret it! "

“Jessica played a HUGE role in saving our wedding, as we moved our wedding venue from an established location to a backyard wedding. Everything was DIY and she took our items and vision and made it a masterpiece. Everything was BEAUTIFUL and everything we imagined and more. Not only did she set up and execute the wedding of our dreams, she coordinated our ceremony rehearsal in the pouring rain with no complaints and even brought a set of umbrellas for our wedding party and ensured everyone knew what they needed to do the following day. The day of the wedding was flawless - she arrived at the perfect time and took the stress right out of our hands. She coordinated with vendors as they arrived and set up, she directed us as we walked out of the ceremony to ensure perfect spacing and timing and she was our right hand woman throughout the entire event. Her personality is one for the books and we couldn't have chosen a better planner/coordinator. Jessica exceeded our expectations 100% and we absolutely recommend her for your special day!”

There's something uniquely magical about the celebration of love through weddings. As the wedding industry continues to evolve and flourish, a remarkable group of vendors have emerged, weaving dreams into reality and turning couples' visions into unforgettable moments. These are the wedding vendors I love – the creative geniuses who breathe life into every love story they touch.

Love from Kenn-
Jess is one of the only planners I know that understands its the couple's story allows us to create moments, creating an experience that felt genuine and deeply personal.Someone who prioritizes the emotional journey of the day over staged scenes, resulting in a film that felt authentic to capture candid, effortless, and lived-in shots for my film. Which takes the details planning and a design to a whole other level. Her ability to transform ideas into reality and level of creativity that truly elevates any event.
WHAT MORE can I say about Jess she’s THE BEST!

Why we love her-
Gosh, where does one start on Biz. This girl is very much my rock in the wedding world. She is talented, dependable, and just so fun to work with. I think she is the perfect fit for anyone who loves a personality like mine. She is so good at what she does, and just works so incredibly hard. I love working with her!
Biz’s Thoughts -
I love working with Jess. She can say as little as 3 words about her vision and you can bet I’ll understand her. Her carefree, elevated, and personalized vibe speak to my soul. Every wedding I’ve been on with Authenica has not only turned out greater than the couple could have imagined, but was also SO FUN. We get work done efficiently when we’re together while setting a stress free tone for the day. It often shocks me how much we can do in short periods of time. Couples love Jess and I love being on her team. I can’t wait to create more with her!!
