“I cannot say enough good things about Jessica! My first day-of-coordinator cancelled on us with only 2 weeks until our wedding and we were in a complete panic. But we met with Jessica who had every question and detail she needed ready to go, she stepped in and completely saved the day. From the moment she connected, they were calm, professional, and incredibly organized, which immediately put us at ease.
Jessica quickly got up to speed with all our details, and I had a lot! She coordinated every aspect of the day with poise, from vendor management to timing, ensuring everything ran smoothly and without a hitch. I had a lot of DIY decor and I didn’t think we would finish before guests arrived but I got swooped away and somehow she pulled it all together. Every box or rouge decor was magically gone and the place looked amazing!
I can’t imagine how we would’ve managed without Jessica. Her dedication, hard work, and positive attitude made all the difference. If you’re looking for someone who can handle the pressure and make your dream wedding a reality—no matter how tight the timeline—this is the person you want. Truly, a lifesaver”

“Hiring Jessica with Harper Bond was the best investment for our wedding day! After planning much of our wedding independently, Jessica effortlessly jumped into our wedding details month-of to coordinate our rehearsal and wedding day. After a few conversations she was able to see our wedding vision and made it come to life day-of. Her expertise and familiarity with our venue (Boettcher Mansion) made the process even smoother as she knew many of our vendors, the venue-specific rules and guidelines, and she was able to give recommendations regarding layout and overall event flow based on her past experiences.
We told Jessica our main goal was to be as hands-off as possible on our wedding day and she delivered! Everything turned out perfectly and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. Thank you, Jessica!!!”

“Jessica was communicative, detail-oriented, and helped us filter through all the decision making required in wedding planning. She was incredible the day of the event, fielding questions and allowing us to enjoy our day. She provides a wealth of knowledge and connections from her time in the industry. It was helpful to learn about current trends and partner with her through the planning process. We hired her as a day-of coordinator and wish we would have brought her in sooner as a dedicated wedding planner.”

“We are beyond grateful to have had Jessica as our wedding day-of coordinator! Jessica is incredibly organized, thorough, and was genuinely excited to help bring our wedding vision to life. Throughout the planning process, she connected us with multiple vendors and checked in with us periodically to make sure all was well, always reminding us that we had her as a resource. She was invaluable through this process. On the day-of, she coordinated everything with care and efficiency, ensuring that every detail from vendor arrival to decor placement was perfectly executed to how we described. Even with a last minute set-up change, she kept everything flowing smoothly and on track with the timeline. Thanks to Jessica’s hard work, we were able to have fun and fully enjoy our special day. I cannot recommend Jessica highly enough as a day-of coordinator – we are so grateful to her for making our day unforgettable!“

“Jessica was a wonderfully organized, knowledgeable, and helpful day-of coordinator for our wedding in June 2024. She helped us throughout the planning process to figure out the little details you don’t even know about, like what kind of linens you need and thinking about what supplies you need to bring day of. Our family cannot stop talking about how smooth everything went for our wedding and Jessica was the main reason! She is awesome!”

“We had Jessica as our day-of coordinator and she was incredible. Every interaction we had was very fun and easy but also thorough and professional. She made a point of understanding our vision and meeting our needs as well as offering great suggestions and helping ensure nothing was overlooked.
The actual day of our wedding is where we really saw the true value of her skills. She flawlessly and seamlessly executed the timeline we had worked out ahead of time, which was very detailed. She helped make everything easy and stress-free while being cheerful and attentive throughout the whole event. We couldn’t have been in better hands. Overall, Jessica met and exceeded our expectations for a day-of coordinator and was also so friendly and kind, we’re incredibly grateful. Highly recommended!”

“Jessica was a key part of our big day, from making sure the ceremony ran smoothly to many other small touches that created a perfect big picture. She was extremely knowledgeable about our venue (Boettcher Mansion). I didn’t hire a day of coordinator until later in the process but I’m glad I did and it was worth the money.”

“Jessica is simply amazing! She is very detail oriented and was a calming force throughout the entire planning process. I wholeheartedly believe that our wedding would have gone a lot differently had we not had Jessica’s help and guidance. We are forever grateful to all of the time she spent making our wedding exactly what we wanted. After the wedding, guests asked me if anything went wrong or not according to plan and my response was, “If it did – I did not notice!”
Jessica is that good – you definitely want her on your team! If we did it all over again, Jessica would be my first call, no doubt.”

“Words cannot describe how crucial Jessica Shipman was to the success of our wedding. We were under prepared, and she over delivered. My recommendation is to book with her as early as possible, and for as long as possible if you want an easy wedding!”
“As parents of the bride we could not have been more happy and relieved with Jessica Shipman. We got to enjoy the day, our family, and the event rather than getting swallowed up worrying about all the details and managing the vendors. Very detailed approach, high energy, professional, and calming! Right away we were confident and grateful for the help. Jessica was really great juggling all the balls in the air. Amazing – and WAY WAY worth it!”

“Jessica did an amazing job. She made our vision come true on our wedding day. We were very specific about the level of detail we wanted and our ceremony was definitely not your traditional ceremony. Jessica’s professionalism and organizational skills made this day stress free.
Both my husband and I as well as our guests were amazed and truly in awe. Jessica took control and there was no stress on our part what so ever. This day couldn’t have been any more perfect.”

“We hired Jessica Shipman as our Day of Coordinator for our wedding and we couldn’t be more pleased with our decision. Jessica is so organized and professional! She was on top of everything from helping us review checklists, timelines, goals, the processional, decoration advice and more – not to mention reminding me to breathe and that she was in our corner.
Even the little things we had forgotten about, she remembered like centerpiece details, a traditional vs. modern processional, and what napkin style choices might look the best with theme of your wedding. The list of things I wanted but was too stressed out to remember on the big day, she had covered.
My husband and I, as well as our guests, thoroughly enjoyed the wedding and I could not have imagined everything coming together as seamlessly as it did without you! Your assistance in preparing for one of the days we would remember for the rest of our lives was priceless! Thank you so much for helping us carry out the vision for our dream wedding!”
