Ready to get planning?

or as my friends call me, "JJ"!

For over 20 years, I have specialized in planning refined weddings and events with a focus on thoughtful design, seamless execution, and a highly personalized experience. I believe every celebration should feel intentional—reflecting not only a client’s aesthetic, but also their values, priorities, and vision. My role is to guide the process with expertise and ease, allowing each event to feel elevated yet effortless.

What sets my work apart is a calm, detail-driven approach paired with the ability to see the big picture. Events are complex, fast-paced, and often emotional; my role is to manage the logistics, anticipate challenges, and guide the process with clarity and ease so my clients can remain fully present and enjoy their celebration. Coordinating a wedding or other special event can be challenging. Let me handle the details so that you can relax and celebrate on your big day.

When I’m not planning events, I enjoy spending time with my family and two sons in my hometown of Lodi, California. You’ll often find me starting the day with coffee and my dogs (Scout and Biscuit) by my side or gathering with friends over a glass of wine at one of our beautiful local wineries.

I hold a degree in Communications from Sonoma State University and began my career producing large-scale events in the corporate and nonprofit sectors, including parades welcoming tens of thousands of guests, community fundraisers, and executive-level gatherings. This foundation instilled a deep understanding of logistics, precision, and professionalism—skills that translate seamlessly into the world of wedding planning. Over the years, weddings became my true passion, and I have since planned hundreds of celebrations across California’s Central Valley and wine country.
