My Notes 〰️ Real Weddings 〰️ Mexico’s Best-Kept Secrets. 〰️
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.
For a long time, social media was my main way of communicating, but that format only scratches the surface. There’s so much nuance, context, and behind-the-scenes of the wedding industry, insight that simply doesn’t fit into a caption.
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.
Let the alchemy begin.
