Hi, I’m Jen — welcome to my Journal.


I’m a destination wedding planner, and for the past 17+ years I’ve been creating weddings and events all over Mexico From Cancun and Riviera Maya to Puerto Vallarta and Cabo. Along the way, I’ve picked up more than a thing or two worth sharing.

This Journal is my space to share it all — real weddings, travel, honest advice, and the thinking that happens between the lines. I invite you to come with me as I slowly build this Journal and step into my life as a destination wedding planner… and occasionally, my personal world too.
