A woman with long, wavy brown hair smiling at the camera. She has gold glitter and white and pink painted designs around her eye, resembling a floral pattern, with her eye partially closed. She is wearing layered gold necklaces, one with a circular pendent and another with a round, dark green stone. She is dressed in a white top with a hint of orange patterned fabric on the shoulder, and the background features a modern interior with neutral-colored walls and a marble column.

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.

The International Blind Date That Changed My Life

An international blind date in Mexico changed my life. In this journal, I share where my story truly began — growing up between two cultures, meeting my husband through adventure and intuition, and how planning my own destination wedding shaped the way I now guide my couples.
