Letter of Recommendation- Alison & Ian


To whom it may concern,

It is our pleasure to recommend Jessica Kavanagh to you as an amazing wedding planner.  Jessica was an absolute delight to work with while planning our October 29th, 2011 wedding.  From our first meeting with her she was full of creative ideas, cost saving tips, and open to all of our suggestions.  We knew we wanted a day-of coordinator for our wedding so we didn’t have to worry about any of the details on the big day.  Jessica did just that and so much more.

As Ian and I were the first in our families to be married we felt a little lost and overwhelmed by the process.  The week after we got engaged we were so overwhelmed by the wedding planners and magazines and their questions: “What is your budget?” “How many guests are you expecting?” “What venues have you looked at using?” “What date have you chosen?”  Jessica helped us navigate the planning process and brought our stress and anxiety levels down.  Jessica works from a philosophy of wanting to ensure weddings are a true reflection of who the couple is instead of having a conventional, predetermined wedding, which was something we also wanted to steer away from as we had an evening cocktail wedding.  Jessica took the time to listen to all of our ideas and how we wanted our wedding day to flow. Jessica provided professional insight and opinions that we hadn’t considered before.  She provided her ideas and sometimes differing opinions with openness and sincerity and really opened our eyes to new possibilities and ideas for our wedding. But most importantly, Jessica navigated us away from fleeting trends in the wedding world and refocused us on the larger, more important things for the day to ensure it was exactly want we wanted.

When I arrived at our venue Jessica already had everything organize.  She picked up our flowers and cakes on the day of and ensured the venue was set up as we had planned.  As a detail oriented and organized person, Jessica was able to handle all the last minute issues of late guests and a late bridal party!  We were able to let go of the wedding-related stress and enjoy the weekend with our family and friends due to all her hard work. Everyone commented about how seamless the ceremony and reception were and how everything just flowed. This was all thanks to Jessica. 

The day of our wedding was the best day of our lives. Everything went off without a hitch and it was even better than we ever could have imagined. We hired Jessica with the idea of having someone pull everything together but what we found was Jessica is so dedicated to her couples that even though she was the day of coordinator she was also your wedding planner.  When you hire Jessica she becomes a friend you can bounce ideas off of, a friend you can bring along to look at cakes, a friend you can share your stress and excitement with and someone you can still call a friend when your wedding day is over.  

We cannot say enough great things about Jessica and the works she does.  We are so lucky to have found and hired her to help us make our wedding dreams a reality.
