"Jessica carries herself with poise and grace, but when the going gets tough, she can also dig in and get her hands dirty. Planning a successful wedding at an established wedding venue is certainly an accomplishment, but Jessica as an estate wedding planner doing this from the ground up, is on a completely different level. There is a reason why she has been featured by Martha Stewart and is so sought after in her industry. I encourage you to choose her, she will not disappoint!"

Margot and Bobby’s wedding at her childhood home in Virginia was a deeply personal celebration rooted in family heritage, garden romance, and a shared love of travel. Inspired by her mother’s rose gardens, the design paired old-world European charm with a fresh, collected mix of chinoiserie, dusty blue, blush, and ivory. Beneath a sailcloth tent, layered tablescapes, ginger jars, floral-patterned details, rattan lighting, and a classic checkered dance floor created an atmosphere that felt elegant without being overly formal. Watercolor artwork by the mother of the bride appeared throughout the paper details, while playful touches—including a corgi escort display and the family’s flower-adorned “beer donkey”—brought warmth and personality to the day. The result was a sophisticated private estate wedding that felt beautifully connected to the home, the gardens, and the people who shaped their story.
