We couldn't be more thankful for Jess & her team. From start to finish, she made the entire planning process so smooth, fun, and personal. Her planning software kept us organized and on track and she took the time to really get to know us, making sure every detail of the day reflected our personalities. From the thoughtful little touches to the overall creative vision, she truly knows how to deliver an amazing guest (and couple) experience. On the day of our wedding, she was on top of everything so we didn't have to think or worry about a thing. Beyond her organization and talent, what stood out most was how deeply she cared about us, our families and our day. We're endlessly grateful for her and couldn't recommend her more! read more

My husband and I were deeply disappointed by the communication and service with Jessica that we could no longer move forward with her. We reached out to her in March 2020 to have her coordinate our wedding and had put down a deposit. Due to the pandemic we immediately had to shift plans and we asked her, the venue and our DJ if they could shift to a 5 year credit which they all agreed to. Anticipating our 5 year, we reached out to her December 7th 2023 to let her know our intentions of planning our 5 year in 2025. We were able to confirm our venue and our DJ at this time so we felt we should reach out to her as well. With no response, I reached out a week and a half later to check in. She said she was available but had increased her prices. We reached back out same day and didn't hear back a week and a half later and checked in. She had an auto-response that she would be out of office until January 9th. Weird since she never followed up with us beforehand. We reached back out on the 9th and she responded saying she got the dates wrong and thought it was 2024 and if she was available in 2025 she would be there but otherwise it would be her staff to take over. "If I do not book a wedding on that date, then I would continue as your day-of coordinator." Basically saying if another wedding of higher value doesn't come up she would serve us. This left a bad taste in our mouths. We responded back the next day, no response. A week later, no response and an auto-message. 2 weeks later and no response until the 26th even though she was actively posting on social media and going out to cocktails on her stories. Her response was that since our event was over a year out, she was spending more time on other large-scale event clients. She then explained that her socials were run by her husband and 14 year old daughter. The only reason I feel that she finally responded was because we told her that if we didn't have some type of response and resolution by 6pm that day that we would share our experience, which she still didn't respond to until 10pm. Her last response was "I'm really sorry you feel that way. I would hope our previous working relationship would have shown my attention to detail and demand for great service for my clients. You unfortunately caught me at a very busy time during, and just after, the holidays." We had no previous working relationship, and if she was referring to our earlier emails that still didn't show her work ethic. Also if she's charging more, wouldn't she have a higher attention to detail now? I can appreciate being busy, but I would never leave my client hanging and put out an auto-responder message without finishing up a conversation with a client. I would at least send a quick personal email saying, I had got theirs and would respond back as soon as possible. Every luxury planner and vendor we reached out to got back to us within 72 hours, which I find odd she could not manage as we had to wait 16 days+ for responses. We really wanted to work with someone who was excited to work with us on our special day but it seemed that from the time we booked her until we reached back out for our anniversary event, that our event did not seem aligned with her luxury business values since her contact form is looking at booking events that are $100K plus. She never apologized other than 'I'm sorry you feel that way'. She didn't even refund our deposit even if it was partial. It was a nightmare trying to get answers from her. She might market herself as luxury, but her service and standard are far from it in our experience. There are far better planners out there and we recommend looking elsewhere. read more

I honestly can't say enough about how wonderful Jess and the team at Onyx & Redwood are. We hired Jess for the full service planning and design of our wedding and welcome party. She went above and beyond our expectations in every way! She has an outstanding sense of design and her attention to detail is kind of mind blowing. She has a lot of experience working with local vendors and knew just the right combination of people/companies to put together to bring our vision to life. She is great at organizing and coordinating all the moving parts that make up planning a wedding. She's also so much fun to work with, I looked forward to each and every meeting we had whether it was over the phone or in person. I can truly say that our whole wedding weekend was absolutely flawless thanks to Jess and her team. I don't know too many brides who can say that and to me that is invaluable! read more

Jess is truly the best of the best, top tier wedding planner. I didn't realize what full-service planning meant until Jess literally made everything exceptionally easy, fun and memorable. Jess goes the extra mile with literally every detail for the wedding, I don't know how she does it!! I was so bad at the correspondence and easily got overwhelmed by all the tasks at hand, but Jess was right there the whole time, and if I was behind on a task, she would text/call me and then take care of the corresponding with the vendor. This was massive for me, because as a bride planning a wedding all while working full time and planning a move across the country, I relied on Jess for so much and she always had my back and made all the planning x10000 easier than I expected! Jess is one of those magical people who you just want on your team because she get sh*t done, has fun, and thinks of details you would've never thought of. We got married at my husband's house and had to install literally everything from a outdoor kitchen, bathrooms, electric, sound, and transform a tennis court into a tented venue. This was a massive undertaking, and one that most could not be trusted with...but Jess stayed with us the entire week leading up to the wedding to make sure every layer to the event set up was perfectly crafted. The house was so beautiful and the transformation was unlike anything I've ever seen. The way Jess is able to so effortlessly collaborate with and manage the dozens of vendors working at the house was CEO vibes. She is so calm, but energetic, direct, but empathetic, creative, but strategic. Jess brings it all to the table, and the table is freaking beautiful!! I know everyone involved in the wedding would say the same :) Which also, Jess has the most insanely talented, vetted, fun list of vendors to work with- everyone she recommended was 10/10. I had mentioned in the passing that it would be fun to incorporate our friend's favorite shots at the wedding, but it seemed challenging because it was a shot of tequila, with clementines and a splash of cinnamon. I had forgotten about it till at the wedding, Jess came on the dance floor serving a platter full of tequila shots, and clementines dusted in cinnamon and was passing them out to all our friends. This was such a highlight because all our friends just flocked to Jess on the dance floor, and it perfectly encapsulated her attention to detail, hard work, and crazy fun loving spirit. Jess we love you so much!! Working with you has been such a joy, and no one could've made this day more fun and perfect, THANK YOU for going above and beyond with everything!!!! Luv Lexi + Jensen read more

Jess made our day absolutely magical. You are in the BEST hands with her and her incredible team on your side. Her attention to detail and management of the day was truly spectacular and that I and my friends and family will remember. Her humor and grace was so appreciated! If anyone is considering Jess and her team for your special day, please look no further, you've got your team here! read more

Jessica was our month-of coordinator and I could not have been more pleased with her and her team for our destination wedding in Santa Barbara. She is passionate, incredibly knowledgeable and provides honest feedback, she is creative and very thorough. Simply put, she knows how to get things done. Jessica completely understood our vision and honed in and streamlined our ideas to create what was truly the most beautiful and magical day - above and beyond what I could ever have imagined!! In addition, Jessica provided amazing referrals for vendor selection throughout the planning process. We truly could not have done it without her. Thank you, Bijoux Events, a million times over! read more

My husband and I hired Jessica as a full-service wedding planner. We clicked immediately upon meeting and we immediately felt confident that Jessica was the planner for us! She is clearly so experienced at what she does. She was organized, communicative, and is one AMAZING designer. She understood exactly what style we like and made our day truly represent us. It was so beautiful. Her attention to detail sets her apart from the rest! She thought of so many cute little ideas that enhanced the overall vibe of our wedding. Not only is Jessica an incredible designer, but she also as so supportive to us throughout the process. Weddings seem to come with a lot of drama and Jessica was always there to listen and give advice. You will not be disappointed hiring Jessica! She is the best! read more

Jess is the absolute best of the best. We wanted our wedding to be unique, fun, and stress free and that's exactly what Jess gave us. Jess was on top of every detail at all times and it allowed me to be able to relax and enjoy my wedding without a single worry. She designed everything to perfection and incorporated a lot of details that were very personal to my husband and me, which made the whole experience extra special. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone. read more

When my husband and I first met Jessica Kuipers, we both fell in love with her vivacious sparkling charm, wit and infectiously bubbly personality. It is so absolutely clear that she loves what she does. Whenever (which turned out to be many a time) we were overwhelmed but how much was coming our way, either on one of our looong pixelated Skype calls or in person, the white knight (AKA Jessica) would come and magically make everything come together. With a smile on her face! That's not only the ultimate sense of duty, but also a true example of how to live life looking at all glasses, no matter their shape or size, 3/4th full or more. As Jessica says, what she does is a labor of love, and man does it show! We were often (especially towards the end of our planning road) baffled and a little bit ashamed at our failure to figure out when she had time to sleep, let raise the two cutest children ever. And we'd become only more baffled when we remembered we weren't her only clients! How she did it remains a mystery. We have been taught to give honest feedback, and that means the good and the perfectible. But, we just couldn't come up with any fault. None. Jessica is amazing. Stunning and exemplary. Over the course of our entire wedding weekend, from the moment we arrived to Santa Barbara, there was something in the air whispering reassuringly "nope, don't worry, it's all taken care of". Friday's loungy Welcome Drinks (at a venue recommended by Jessica) were perfect! Saturday morning's Mass glorious. Saturday evening and night, with climate change and a vicious weather god playing around with Gulf of Mexico hurricane weather in pristine Santa Barbara, Jessica was tested yet again, now in the ultimate improvisational skill: how to react to gushes of wind 5x above design for the dinner space. She shined. What can we say. When there are too many words, there are not enough words. We will be forever grateful. read more

Wow. Where do I begin talking about Jessica? My mind is blown. Seriously, at first I struggled fitting a planner into my budget- as an organized business woman, I thought I could easily pull it together. How wrong was I??? I can not imagine what my day would've been like without Jessica. From the moment we met, she made me feel at ease, like we had been friends for years and she just understood me. She is so fun, creative, energetic and HILARIOUS!! She kept my groom and I at ease, and the day couldn't have turned out more perfectly. She was a step ahead in every scenario ( major dress malfunction) and my family and friend even commented on how impressed they were by her. I also loved every vendor she recommended. I love Jessica and can not give a higher recommendation!!!!! read more

We have had the pleasure of filming numerous weddings with Jessica and to say that she is the best would be the understatement of the year! She is the BEST of the BEST! Jessica is professional, hardworking, courteous and elegant! She takes wonderful care of her couples, guests and the wedding professionals that make her bride and groom's day possible. One of our recent wedding with Jessica was a detailed affair with multiple locations and set-ups. Jessica was working from 6am the morning of the wedding until 2am the day after and she never slowed down! YTS Digital Films refers Bijoux Events regularly and knowing we are working with Jessica is knowing that we will be with the finest. read more

Jessica is MAGIC. She is an absolute blast to work with and is an expert in her field. Her design skills push the limits of creativity in the best way, and her organization and attention to detail are simply incredible. She knows how to delight her clients, AND she is fantastic at managing a team of vendors, making sure everyone is taken care of and on the same page. Her high standards ensure that clients are thrilled with the results of her hard work -- I can't recommend her enough!! read more

Jessica was a wonderful help leading up to the big day as well as day of. She relieved a lot of the stress of the details and is knows the ins and outs of weddings like nobody's business! Who knew there were so many decisions to make!? Couldn't have done it without her, my husband I are very grateful. read more

Jessica Kuipers of Bijoux Events was my "month-of" coordinator for my June 2012 wedding in Santa Barbara.... BEST DECISION EVER! If i had to plan my wedding over again, I would absolutely not do it without her. Jessica is high energy, professional, creative, and simply AMAZING. As the bride, I can honestly say that she is the one vendor that made me (as well as my now-husband and my parents) feel like VIPs. Anything I needed, Jessica made it happen. I am still in awe of how smoothly and flawlessly the day went and Jessica is a major contributor to that. There are genuinely not enough fabulous things that I can say about Bijoux Events so I will simply end with this: If you ever have a wedding or event in the Santa Barbara area, make sure Jessica of Bijoux Events is the first person you call. read more

I can't even begin to put how amazing Jess is in words!! She took our event to the next level! Not only was I impressed but my guests at the wedding raved about how smoothly everything went and how amazing Jess was at making that all possible! From the frat boy groomsmen to the diva bride (myself) and bridesmaids were you would've never thought that by the seamless event! If I could give Onyx + Redwood a million stars I would!! Our wedding was truly the best day ever and ONLY because of them! We are forever thankful! read more

Jessica is amazing. Organized, energized and happy doing what she does. It was obvious when I spoke to her about an upcoming multi day event she had coordinated. She and her team handled it well. They were always around or accessible either by phone or radio always with a great attitude. As a business owner of Pour Boys Bartenders that also catered to this large event I was impressed with the responsibility she'd undertaken and successfully completed. It was a pleasure working with you and your team. Again Jessica thank you and I look forward to working with you in the future. read more

Jessica is an amazing event planner. She planned and coordinate my wedding this June at Westmont and the Double Tree in Santa Barbara and I could not have been happier. I recommend her highly and will ask her in a heart beat to plan any event I might put on in the future. Jessica is organized, has great visions for spaces, communicates back quickly and really knows what she is doing. Whatever needs to be done, she will make it happen..no matter how crazy and no matter how little time. One of our wedding guests that interacted with Jessica during the reception said it well. She said "Jessica is always one step and one thought ahead, which allows her to make things run smoothly and people to feel taken care of." Jessica has a great eye for what goes well together. Even after all of the planning, table linen renting, and decoration selection, I didn't have a totally clear picture of what it would all look like together...but Jessica clearly did because when I peeked in the ballroom before guests entered, I was flabbergasted. I honestly could not believe how gorgeous and elegant the space looked. It was a beautiful, soulful day and the aesthetics and atmosphere of the room mirrored the day nicely. Beyond being a great planner and executing those plans seemingly flawlessly during the event, Jessica is a fun person to work with. She is down to earth, has a great, big personality, is low stress (not sure how she pulls that off!) and planning meetings felt less like planning and more like throwing around ideas with a friend. I highly recommend that anyone planning a large event or a wedding contact Jessica at Bijoux events! read more

Amazing! Fabulous! Extraordinary! I could go on and on about Jessica and her Team at Bijoux Events. We did a fairly luxurious non-traditional wedding (think elaborate cocktail and dinner party) with a lot of moving pets and a very short runway (90 days) and it was SPECTACULAR because of Jessica! She took our basic vision and gave it heart and character, her suggestions were on point and brought an added touch of elegance to the event. At first we had not understanding of all the many many moving parts required to pull off such an event, Jessica educated is, negotiated (exceptionally well) on our behalf and on the weekend of made sure ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING from start to finish went off without a hitch. I can not recommend or praise Jessica and her Team enough. If you are considering a wedding or event you absolutely can not go wrong engaging Bijoux Events!!!! read more

PERSONALITY. PERSONALITY. PERSONALITY. ...and seamless execution. I was 3 months away from the 'wedding of my dreams', when it finally dawned on me that I needed to begin looking for a month-of coordinator to help me cross that final hurdle. I had a few event planners in mind, but after a few calls and emails, I wasn't fully convinced that I had found someone who understood my vision. Given that our venue was unique and off-the-beaten path (for now at least!), I began reaching out to various coordinators that came highly recommended by the venue's property manager. I e-mailed a few, received immediate responses from many, but Jessica was the only coordinator who sought to speak to me on the phone directly. BINGO. From the moment our one hour phone consultation ended, I felt as though I had made a new friend. Jessica's bubbly personality is contagious! But even more impressive is her professionalism, attention to detail, and industry expertise! Coupled with friendly and firm vendor management skills (namely, keeping them on track and in focus!), and vendor networking capabilities - Jessica is a one stop shop when it comes to event management. Let me step back a minute --- I've neglected to mention a key personality trait of mine... I am what some may call an "OCD" kind of a bride. I'm very organized, very attentive to details, and hold "efficient time-management" to a high regard. Throughout the process, Jessica knew that my schedule was busy with work and wedding planning, and made every effort to accommodate my requests and questions via e-mail. This was especially helpful considering I lived 6 hours away from Jessica AND my wedding venue. From final contract reviews, facilitating last minute amendments to my lighting and party rentals needs - every issue was addressed, even things I never even thought to consider, or things I didn't know I even needed. This allowed me to allocate time to work on the handful of DIY projects that I still had left outstanding. As a result, not one moment in my one year of wedding planning did I ever become the infamous bridezilla! I've got to say, that's something I'm profoundly proud of. Come wedding weekend, Jessica and her staff facilitated the rehearsal, venue set up, pre-wedding, wedding, and post-wedding events SEAMLESSLY. My family loved her, my now-husband loved her, and most importantly, I loved her! From making sure that the groom and I didn't cross paths before the ceremony, to helping the tipsy groom locate his "missing" jeep that was never really at the venue to begin with, Jessica had everything under control --- I didn't have to worry about A THING on my wedding day. I was the effortless bride, and more relaxed than I ever thought I would be on my very special day. I soaked in every moment, enjoyed the company of my guests, and giggled during moments when Jessica, in full stealth mode, would pass by me and whisper "Do you need anything? Are you okay? Thumbs up?" - she calls them "drive by's". Bottom line is that you want to feel a sense of trust and confidence that your wedding coordinator will bring your concept to fruition. Jessica did that. And I would not be surprised if brides across the central coast start mud wrestling for a shot at having Jessica facilitate one of the most important days of their lives. To Jessica and her amazing staff (a special shout out to Emily who was there every step of the way)... thank you. read more

Jessica and her team are a dream. In the first time meeting her, she downloaded me on everything to have to do with events, and how she feels about what she does for a living. She is intuitive to the type of looks, feels and esthetic anyone would want for their event. Her design is always gorgeous and she goes out of her way to connect. She's hilarious and easy going. She comes with beautiful high-end rentals and a modern design flair that stands alone. She can guide anyone and everyone to their dream event. Everything with her is flawless. Jessica and her team have a lot of versatility and experience -- their harmony is very organic and natural which is so important on the most important day. They are all die-hard romantics and they nail it. They do everything from simple to ultra luxurious (personally I have never seen a portfolio so impressive). She delivers the quality and the quantity AND doesn't skimp out on anything. Her price is well worth it, she saves money, think of it like a tattoo, it's forever, splurge a little for that long time good look. Oh, but Jessica was still very respectful of the budget, she gets real real when she needs to and things cost what they cost. She is a pro, hands down. Hire her, you won't be disappointed. Be ready to laugh and eat all the things and have the best event of your life. read more

I have to be honest, I hired Jessica Kuipers because she came highly recommended from my venue and my venue required me to hire a "day of" coordinator. That being said, it was the best money spent on my wedding. I actually ended up hiring Jessica as my "month of" coordinator to coordinate all of the vendors that we had selected (Michael C. noted above was one of them) the month before the wedding as well as the rehearsal day and day of. Jessica and her team were absolutely top notch. She is amazing to work with. She is a consummate professional, totally personable, AND she coordinated my wedding when she was about 9 months pregnant. She helps you plan for things that you don't even think about like "how do you want to be introduced when you walk in? "keep your toasts to 5 minutes or else your food will get cold, etc." Because of Jessica and her team, I was able to stay completely stress free the day of the wedding. At one point in the evening I didn't know where the keys to my car were and out of nowhere one of her teammates jumped in "oh they're in my pocket". They literally predicted every.single.need. of myself, my family and my wedding party. I would recommend Jessica and Bijoux Events in a heartbeat. Even if you don't think you have money in your budget for a coordinator, you should make room for Jessica and Bijoux Events! read more

Jessica is incredible! We got married October 2013 and she was there every step of the way. She took care of details I didn't even imagine were nessecary for our wedding. My wedding day was the most amazing day of my life and I have Jessica to thank for that. Everything ran so smoothly and we didn't have to worry about a thing because she was on our side. Just an example of how great she and her employees are we ordered cupcakes from a bakery in buelton, ca unfortunately they don't deliver to Ojai (where we got married) the morning of someone drove up there picked up our cupcakes and brought them to the venue. She truly went above and beyond for us. Every detail was perfect and executed the way we envisioned. If your looking for a wedding planner stop right now cause she is the best out there. read more

LOVED Jessica!!! She was our "month of coordinator" for our Sept 2015 wedding and she was awesome!!! She was super personable, has a great sense of humor and was very responsive, and very honest and upfront about things which I appreciated. She was incredibly professional and organized. When it came to connecting and meeting at different points in the process, she was very flexible with my schedule (as I was coming from NYC) and overall goes out of her way to try to be of service. Even our family and friends (and wedding party) made comments about how great (and cool) she was doing rehearsals and on the big day. I am so happy to have had her support throughout and I don't know what I would've done without her. I think I need to throw a party in SB again one day just so I can hang with her again!! Seriously, would highly recommend!!! She is the best of the best! read more

I've honestly never written a negative review, as I generally try to give people/businesses the benefit of the doubt, however in this case I feel the need to warn other brides out there & wish that other brides had honestly reviewed Bijoux Events so that I could have made a more informed decision when I was looking to choose a wedding planner. I don't even know where to start on what a disaster my experience with Bijoux Events. We chose Bijoux Events because they claimed they had experience with Indian weddings and opted for the partial planning package. From the beginning it was hard to get a hold of her. She doesn't work on Mondays and Wednesdays & most Fridays and weekends she had events, so we literally had 2-3 days a week that we could possibly get a hold of her & even then it was hard to get responses to our emails....she seemed to always have excuses that she had other weddings going on up until about the week before our wedding. Our florist literally tried contacting her for a MONTH (via text/phone etc.) before giving up and having me intervene. We also had multiple guest and vendor complaints about how rude and aggressive Jessica was. I had to awkwardly apologize on Jessica's behalf to three of the vendors during different parts of the wedding planning process & was genuinely concerned that some of the vendors were going to drop out because of how condescending she was when she spoke to them! It seemed like if we chose a vendor that wasn't HER pick, she felt that it was appropriate to be rude to them. At one point it got so uncomfortable being on a text chain between her and the vendor and seeing how disrespectful and rude her responses were to my vendor, that I had to literally ask Jessica to please treat my vendors with respect even if they weren't her choice. Even worse was the number of comments we received from wedding guests after the wedding about how rude she was at different times during the weekend. Guests also were amazed at how rude she was to vendors and commented at how she would yell at vendors... in front of guests! I don't know if she doesn't do well under stress or what, but it was honestly plain embarrassing to have SO many guests tell us how rude she was at different points of our weekend weekend. Beyond personality issues, Jessica and her team totally belly flopped on the day of the wedding ceremony. Part of the reason we chose Bijoux was because they claimed to have experience with Indian weddings. We put together a lot of information for our other vendors who had limited experience with Indian weddings, and they were all able to understand what was needed from them. I'm honestly sure if she panicked or what, but she literally did not end up coordinating the ceremony on the day of the wedding! Yes, you read right. She no joke passed the buck to my cousin a few minutes before the wedding ceremony was to start, asking her "if she had the ceremony" under control and proceeded to spend the 1.5 hour ceremony shuttling guests, but beyond that we don't understand how/ why she literally went MIA and did not do any of the ceremony coordination! My cousin literally ended up coordinating the whole ceremony ad-hoc, because Jessica was nowhere to be seen! My cousin had to lead the groom's procession into the ceremony, had to organize the order that people walked down the aisle...everything! It was honestly bizarre and hard to believe. I've heard of horror stories from bad wedding planners, but for someone to straight up not do the basic coordination for the ceremony (for as simple as something as coordinating the order that people were to walk down the aisle) is unacceptable. I could go on and on about what a disaster our experience in working with Jessica was, but I'll save you. She missed the ball completely on the most important part of the whole weekend and didn't seem to have a grasp of what was important and what wasn't. We've heard a slew of excuses and mean accusations from her end following the wedding, but to this day I genuinely don't understand how someone who calls herself a wedding planner could conduct herself the way she did and be so unapologetic about what a disaster the wedding ceremony turned out to be because of her lack of professionalism and responsibility. At the end of the day there are so many wedding planners in southern California. Save yourself the stress and money and go with someone else who will carry though their responsibilities with reliability, honesty, kindness and professionalism! EDIT: I have received multiple yelp messages from both vendors & wedding guests who all experienced similar disasters & commented how similarly rude/unprofessional Jessica was at different times. Additionally, the 5 star venue where we got married at no longer recommends her as a preferred vendor after seeing what a disaster her and her team were. Pretty bold statement... read more

Jessica is amazing and certainly took the stress of our big day off our minds. She is a true professional from start to finish and we are so grateful to have worked with her. She is an expert at her craft and has a solution to every single idea, thought or question that may have come up that day. She is highly organized and is truly the best. read more

As a photographer whose job is to make sure you capture every important detail of the day, it's vital that the team you are working with is on the same page. Working with Jess was an ideal experience. She was always present when I needed her and is extremely organized and detail oriented. She's also ultra creative and a joy to be around. She has great suggestions and vocalizes them in a way that feels fun and collaborative. I hope to work with her again in the future and would highly recommend her services! read more

Jessica's work shines. The last wedding I photographed that she planned was chosen for publication on one of the largest wedding blogs in the world, Style Me Pretty. She's professional, yet easy going - a perfect, but rare combination. Needless to say her clients love her, which makes me happy because I love my clients and want them to be happy. I couldn't recommend Jessica more highly! read more

Jessica and her team are all amazing! We couldn't have done our wedding without her. She is a perfect balance of fun and business - her creativity is off the charts, so get ready to be blown away by ideas and suggestions you never would have thought of. My mom, dad, husband, and I are so grateful for Jessica's help - it was a pleasure to work with her and I would recommend her to everyone :). read more

My fiancé and I were too overwhelmed with the details of planning a wedding to do it on our own. Working with Bijoux Events was the best decision we made. We worked with Jessica Kuipers who is utterly amazing! She handled everything the day of and we had absolutely no stress to deal with. A lot of our family and friends kept telling us to expect something to go wrong. On our wedding day everything went smoothly and things moved along as planned. Much later we heard a little about what went on behind the scenes. Jessica was very professional and handled the entire day with confidence. She has this genuine smile that is very reassuring. Everything was beautiful and it was such a relief that Jessica made sure our big day "went off without a hitch!" We are both so grateful with the service we received from Bijoux Events. Our wedding day truly felt like a fairy tale. read more

I actually started my wedding planning process without a planner. I had a trunk load of ideas and I am a creative person so I felt like the planning was really something that I was not only capable of, but I really wanted to be in control of by myself. However, anyone who goes through the process finds out pretty quickly how tricky it gets to make decisions that satisfy both the bride and groom, and the rest of the family too! Those struggles combined with handling venue restrictions, finding reliable vendors and all the growing costs became very overwhelming. I had found I really lost sight of what I wanted in the first place. That is when we brought Jessica on board. Immediately we realized we should have just started with her. She came in and gathered all of our work, organized it and made everything instantly simple. She found great vendors, made sure we utilized every inch of our venue in the most creative ways, and really brought our dream wedding to life. The planning became this calm experience that I was able to actually enjoy, and the wedding itself exceeded my hopes and dreams enormously. She brought in design elements I would have never thought of, the entire production ran seamlessly and all our guest had an amazing time celebrating. I really am so grateful for all her hard work! It was a beautiful weekend with all of our loved ones that we will always cherish! Thank you again! read more

Jessica is truly the best! From the moment we first talked over the phone, I knew I was in great hands. Even though I hired her as my month-of coordinator, she was there every step of the way to help me with the planning process. She helped me with everything from picking my florist to getting a stain out of one of my bridesmaids' dresses only moments before we walked down the aisle. She is a pleasure to be around and makes everything that much easier for the bride! Everyone commented on how calm I was during the wedding, and I have Jessica to thank for that! read more

Jessica is fabulous!!! She is so down to earth and willing to go the extra mile. When I arrived in SB for the wedding weekend, she followed up with every last little detail and never rushed any meeting we had together or forgot any of our concerns. She is extremely outgoing and friendly, but professional and hustles!! We always felt taken care of and reassured with her in our corner. More than that, she is extremely creative in her designs and set up our reception space beautifully. The day went off without a hitch and I know it was because of her. Jessica is the type of planner to stay up with you all night until everything is perfect. 4 stars, for sure! read more

We hired Jessica with Bijoux Events for her one month of wedding planning and we were thrilled with our amazing wedding and reception. We wanted a lot of special touches and for the event to be special and fun but also intimate for ourselves and all of our guests. It was not a huge wedding but Jessica did a tremendous job helping us button down all the details and really ensured that everything ran smoothly. We hired an incredible team of people to be involved in our wedding and Jessica did a great job coordinating all the deliveries and making sure everyone did the job they were suppose to do. We had a lot of family and friends from out of town so we wanted to really have fun and enjoy ourselves on our wedding day. Because of Jessica we were able to do just that...relax, enjoy, and savor every moment. You will so happy you hire Jessica to help with your wedding, we are beyond pleased and happy with her! read more
