Hi, I’m Jess - a Nashville-based event planner with a big love for meaningful celebrations, especially Bar and Bat Mitzvahs. With over a decade of experience in events and a heart for helping families truly enjoy the moment, I bring creativity, calm, and connection to every milestone I help plan.
My journey started in the most unexpected place: Claire’s. (Yes - ear piercing party packages, themed goodie bags, and all!) What began as a fun job quickly turned into something bigger - I was training stores across districts and creating full-on celebrations before I even realized I was planning events. That early experience led me into the music industry, where I supported major events like the BMI Country Awards, worked with incredible mentors, and found my groove in the fast-paced world of production.
Eventually, I landed in the Mitzvah world - and everything clicked. While working behind the scenes with an entertainment vendor, I started noticing gaps in how events were being run. Why weren’t planners asking the right questions? Why weren’t vendors being treated like true partners? Why were families stressed when they should be celebrating?
That’s when I knew I had something different to offer.
I immersed myself in the traditions, the history, and the beauty of what a Mitzvah means. It’s not “just a party” - it’s a deeply personal rite of passage, a celebration of identity, and a special time for families to come together. I knew I could help make these moments not only seamless, but special.
From planning timelines to swag bags, vendor negotiations to late-night pep talks, I’m here for all of it. I bring your child’s personality into every detail - their favorite colors, foods, music, and energy - to create something that feels true to them. I also pride myself on being a trusted support system for parents, helping you stay present and enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime milestone.
My clients often become lifelong friends, and nothing makes me happier than cheering on “my” Mitzvah kids long after the big day. Whether it’s a text about a school play or a hug at a basketball game, I love being part of your family’s journey.
So, that’s me —-a planner who loves what she does, who cares deeply about your experience, and who believes celebrations should be both joyful and meaningful.
