Words cannot describe how exceptional Jane and her team are—the unparalleled (literally 24/7) amount of attention, care, professionalism, love and support would easily have been enough to give rave reviews. But on top of all of that, the result she crafted was a stunning, world class, luxury wedding in Lake Garda, Italy, one that belongs only in Vogue and its kin. Other than marrying the love of my life, working with Jane was easily the best part of the wedding. Every one of our guests has told us it was the wedding and trip of a lifetime. She tailored every single minute detail to our unique and eclectic tastes, presented every option in organized, accessible spreadsheets and superbly designed pdfs—and she has the patience of the Dali Lama, to boot. Jane was our rock, and she knocked it out the park. Every vendor she found was fantastic, every visual she brought to life outstanding. She may actually have magical powers. This woman is going places. We were so lucky to work with her.

From the day you get engaged to the moment you are walking down the aisle, there are hundreds of tiny details to consider throughout the planning process to create a perfect moment in time. When it comes to bringing your event vision to life, Jane is the unparalleled detail queen. Not only is she an exceptional creative talent when developing breathtaking custom tablescapes and design materials, but she has innate operational instincts that will keep your dream day running seamlessly behind the scenes. She expertly utilizes the blank canvas of a venue to ensure every component elevates your guest’s experience. From the perfectly placed lounge for your grandparents to relax to the refreshing hydration station that will keep your guests dancing all night long, she truly thinks of it all, and aligns all of these needs with your unique event vision. The brightest point of working with Jane, is the dynamic Jane herself. She lives and breathes hospitality and service and her passion radiates
