Onyx and Redwood

Hi, I’m Jess - owner, founder, and inventive wedding planner based in Santa Barbara, California. I specialize in designing high-end luxury weddings that aren’t boring or stuffy, but bold and exciting. Most of my clients are destination clients. Whether they are coming to the Santa Barbara area, or traveling to the destination of their dreams, I make it all happen. MY PHILOSOPHY - PERMISSION TO BE YOURSELF My whole business motto revolves around this simple concept that your wedding is 100% about you and your partner. You have my absolute support to do things your way and no one else’s. If that means forgoing all traditions and having your dog-children walk you down the aisle—then go for it. If that means hiring a tattoo artist to give tattoos at your reception—then do it (‘cause that actually happened!). And if that means you want to get married in a château in France, with 300 of your closest friends with the most epic party ever—consider me there. I promise to not only pull together the wedding of your dreams, but I promise to be your biggest supporter in creating a wedding that exceeds all of your expectations. I’ll bring in all of the little details about your life, from your personalities, to your lifestyle, to your cultures, and weave them throughout the fabric of your wedding in a seamless and natural way.
