“Jeannene will be your best, most-trusted resource throughout the planning process and day-of!”
On both our rehearsal dinner and wedding day, we didn't have a worry in the world and that is entirely because of the JLE team being so organized and on top of everything to ensure the event ran as smoothly as possible. Jeannene and her team are professional, amazing people and will be three steps ahead of you at all times which is the best peace of mind! We received endless compliments from friends and family on how amazing our wedding events were and how lovely the JLE team was. We had the best, most special rehearsal and wedding day and can't thank the JLE team enough!!
WE CAN'T WAIT TO TELL YOUR STORY.
We have curated three package offerings that generally fit the needs of our couples; please reach out if you would like a custom package option.
