& DESIGN

Are you adventurous, creative, and ready to have a blast planning a once-in-a-lifetime event? Can you put aside the boring wedding rules and expectations? Do you enjoy hosting and taking care of the people you hold near and dear? More importantly, do you like to be taken care of and feel really heard and seen? If so, then I'm here and ready to help you unleash your inner wedding planning rebel to plan something that's just a little (or a lot) unconventional. ✨

about AFE

Your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life. It’s a day that you’ll remember forever. That’s why I take the time to sit with you and truly listen to the ideas that you have to host the most epic celebration ever. From there, I take those ideas and elevate them to create an alternative reality.

The one thing we need more of in our lives, especially now, is magic. Let’s make your wedding pure magic! A Fresh Event is all about people and believes that love is love, and we invite all couples to join our family (unless you're an a**hole, then kindly move along).

"They made our planning experience both easy and enjoyable. When friends would ask if we were stressed with planning, we could honestly say, 'No.'"

Samantha / A Fresh Event Bride

Jen is more than a planner, she is that ride or die friend that will do everything she can to make sure your day is truly YOURS.

Vanessa / A Fresh Event Bride
