We are endlessly grateful to our amazing wedding planner, Jesse Deckard—an uber-talented creative force and an absolute joy to work with! From day one, your vision, calm energy, and meticulous attention to detail made every step of planning feel effortless and exciting! You brought our dream to life with such intention and artistry. Every detail felt personal, elevated, chic and full of joy. Thank you, Jesse, for being the creative genius behind it all and for making this celebration so full of love, beauty, and unforgettable moments. We truly couldn’t have imagined it without you! Still can’t believe how lucky we were to find each other, a match made in heaven for sure… just like Katherine and Beau!

Jesse is the calmest, most effective and reliable communicator, and his “we’ll make it happen” attitude takes away SO much of the stress that’s inherently part of the process. From planning to execution, Jesse made everything enjoyable. I rarely talk to people who’ve had an entirely stress-free experience, but Jesse made that happen. Even when a hurricane threatened our wedding, Jesse pulled together an equally impressive wedding option in another state in a matter of DAYS. The weekend (5 days of events!) was a dream, with each party outdoing the last.

“Jesse was beyond amazing to work with — part counselor, therapist, budget/timeline manager, creative director, designer, cheerleader, mediator and friend. His taste is impeccable and creative and he delivers beyond your wildest dreams. As the MOB, one of my strongest wishes was to be a guest at the wedding and I was. I didn’t have to worry about one thing! We all really miss working with him! He’s simply THE VERY BEST!”

Jesse Deckard is literally the BEST. A true dream to work with! From every detail, timeline, flower petal, vendor, email, he was on it from the beginning. I am such a planner and giving up control over such a special day was tough but I entrusted Jesse with my vision and he brought it to life – more than I ever could have myself. I actually felt like I could enjoy the planning process, and most importantly, be incredibly present the day of. He is so fun to be around and becomes part of the family. The wedding day was executed perfectly – if something went wrong, I never knew! There wasn’t a thing I would change of the day. It was perfect and I owe that to Jesse. It was such an honor to work with him and we are forever grateful!

A visionary with endless creativity and positivity. A tremendous talent with boundless inspiration, passion, and innovation. Good vibes and energy always. Jesse has it all. He delivers a high degree of empathy and patience as he works his magic. Exceedingly thorough and thoughtful, he’s a wedding wizard and so much more. Working with Jesse was simply the best and I cannot recommend him highly enough. We still get comments to this day about what a stunning, incredible wedding celebration it was from guests- completely out of the blue- and it’s all thanks to Jesse!

From the moment we met Jesse, we knew we were in for something special. We came to him with minimal direction and some abstract ideas, yet he managed to transform our vision into a reality beyond our wildest dreams. Jesse’s ability to take the stress out of wedding planning and turn it into an enjoyable, exciting process is nothing short of magical. Working with Jesse was truly seamless. He is the perfect blend of professionalism and the kind of friend who always has your back and never steers you wrong. His meticulous attention to detail, combined with his warm, approachable personality, made us feel supported and understood every step of the way. One of the biggest compliments you can give someone is the desire to work with them again, and Jesse came to us through a long line of referrals—double digits, to be exact! This is unbelievably impressive and speaks volumes about his exceptional talent and dedication. We couldn’t have asked for a better planner and friend.

We would have been lost without you… you were on top of every little thing and I appreciated your detail-oriented approach. There were many times that I thought I was dreaming up unrealistic ideas, but you made all of them come to reality and added your own flair.

I have had the immense pleasure of working with Jesse Deckard, and I can’t say enough about the incredible experience he provides along the planning process. From the very beginning, Jesse’s attention to detail is nothing short of exceptional. He goes above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of the day is flawless.



One of the things that stands out most about Jesse is his meticulous approach to planning. He leaves no stone unturned and is meticulously organized in every element. From the seating arrangement to the floral arrangements, Jesse’s precision and dedication to perfection is evident in every decision he makes. It is clear that he truly cares about making each wedding a dream come true.

Jesse is such a talented, thoughtful, hard-working, & on top of that – wonderful person. Our wedding was special for plenty of reasons, but we keep coming back to the people. We could not have done it without Jesse, and the design he brought into our special day. He made us feel at ease, present, special, and even more in love, and created an experience for our friends and family that we will all cherish forever.

After a year of planning, to walk into the Peninsula and of course the ballroom and see our vision played out beyond any expectations, just blew us all away.  I know I am prejudice, but it was TRULY the most gorgeous reception I have ever been to.  The stairway decor, the hallway between the outside patio and the ballroom, the escort wall, draping around the door, the bars, the tables, THE CEILING were all next level gorgeous. There simply are no words to adequately describe what you did for us.

Before we brought you on board, we felt overwhelmed, uninformed, and generally helpless about the whole planning process. But from the very first conversation we had with Jesse, that all changed. With Jesse in charge, we knew that we couldn’t make a bad decision. Every option presented to us was carefully thought out, personalized to our taste, and of impeccable quality. The way that Jesse was able to turn our incoherent ideas and random Pinterest photos into the room of our dreams will forever be the most amazing magic trick we’ve ever witnessed. Thank you for creating the most special event, for being flexible and understanding the whole way through, and for just all around being a wonderful partner. We are forever grateful.

Details. Design. Magic. Jesse is a master of all three and when it came to planning our big day, I couldn’t imagine planning it with anyone else. Jesse is infamous for his attention to detail but he was also able to make the big picture come together in the most incredible way. Jesse is confident in his craft – the type of planner who had a solution for everything and an answer already waiting. He’s one of the rare creatives with a mind for both design and logistics and he throws the kind of wedding people STILL talk about. Jesse’s organization, extensive experience and flawless execution at every turn is everything a couple could hope for in a planner. Grateful we had a weekend filled with magic, beauty, love, and lasting memories all thanks to Jesse.

Working with Jesse was a dream come true. He made the entire process easy, fun, and made both of us and (and our families!) feel heard. Heavy emphasis on easy, too — Jesse just gets it. Jesse is a total pro. He is organized, has an incredible eye for detail, is super well connected, and tailored every recommendation, both big and small, to what we cared about the most. Jesse brought our wedding to life in the most magical way possible. I still tear up thinking about how perfect it was.

Words cannot describe how amazing Jesse Deckard and his team are. It was absolute joy to work with Jesse on two weddings. Each wedding was different but each spectacular. Jesse’s design expertise, creative energy and attention to every detail is unparalleled. He works with you to create your dream wedding while being conscious of your budget. He is responsive, thoughtful, kind and respectful to all. I have two more weddings coming in my family and I will not use anyone but Jesse Deckard as my wedding planner.

It was absolutely the most gorgeous wedding that anyone had ever attended. This is all in thanks to your beautiful interpretation of Victoria’s hopes for her reception “look”.  Jesse, you are a master-creator! We are so appreciative of the time, effort, creative energy and late-night hours that you spent to make the wedding reception most memorable.  The sumptuous floral arrangements that cascaded throughout the dining room ceiling transported the guests into a magical wonderland!  The colors were beautiful and the memories are long-lasting! It takes a unique individual to undertake so many once-in-a-lifetime events and actually make each client feel like their event is truly the most important. Thank you for sharing your incredible talents with us!

Every time we see someone, they talk about how amazing our wedding was like it was yesterday. I kid you not, it was the best day of people’s lives; they tell us all the time and every time we tell them “It was all Jesse, he made it all happen.” What you do is amazingly impactful and shapes the lives of more people than just the lucky bride and groom. From the moment we started planning, his vision, precision, and grace under pressure made us feel like we were in the best hands possible. Jesse flawlessly coordinated a 350-person, black-tie wedding that felt intimate, elegant, and completely us. Jesse didn’t just organize a wedding—he orchestrated an experience that we will cherish forever!
