Jes Frank, Owner

Hi Beautiful,

So glad you’re here! I already know we’re about to make some serious magic together. Can’t wait to hear your story, your vision, and all the dreamy (or chaotic) ideas you’ve got swirling around in your head.

How I Ended Up Here:

I knew what I wanted to do early in life and haven't stopped working for it. Since 2010, I've worked alongside planners, caterers, and venues...the ultimate crash course in how weddings really work. I’ve gained so much experience behind the scenes that it prepared me to launch my own company in 2016. I'm a firm believer in lifelong learning. I earned a Bachelor’s degree in Event Management, became a certified event planner under the iconic Kevin Lee, and had the incredible opportunity to intern with both him and David Tutera in Los Angeles.

In 2018 I opened our big Bride and Joy showroom to bring curated decor and specialty rentals to life for our amazing clients. I can’t wait to create something unforgettable with you

​

Fun Facts

I'm a cheeseburger lover, gin drinker, and have never turned down a bowl of mac + cheese.

I always read the dessert menu first because I'm a planner and love to be prepared.

Matthew 6:34 keeps me grounded when things get wild.

It's been one of my greatest honors to have started a charity that turned130 years of my family's work in Guatemala into an official non-profit called Raising Guatemala.

Margaritas with custom homemade infusions

Best Part of my Job

Working with My Best Friend​

Meli, General Manager

Every business has that person who holds it all together, and for us, that's Meli. From coordinating events, mixing up custom cocktails, handling deliveries, cleaning the warehouse, hauling gear...there's nothing she won't take on. She's everywhere all at once. She lifts the heavy stuff (literally and figuratively), keeps the team moving and somehow still finds time to love on our clients like they're family. She's the calm in the chaos, the positive force that keeps morale high, and manages to make the busiest days feel fun. People are drawn to her vibe - cool, capable, and full of energy. 

Whether you get the version of her shaking up your drink behind the bar, driving our truck full of rentals, or putting final touches on your space before it all starts, she's creating magic. She always rallies, brings unstoppable enthusiasm, and keeps both the team and guest spirits high.

Parent Speeches. The Dads always get me teary eyed.

​

Favorite Part of Wedding Day:

Right when the reception starts! The big stress of the day melts away and it's celebration time!

​

Best Part of My Job

Working with my friends and getting to help bring to life the vision each couple has for their day.​​

Emily, Coordinator

Here's to the ultimate wedding day MVP. She's calm, composed, and has a natural gift for reading the room - especially when it comes to the bride. Like a best friend with a clipboard and fanny pack, she stays by the bride's side, gently anticipating every need before it's even voiced. She notices the little things: a glass of champagne getting low, a needed touch up in between photos, or a moment of overwhelm behind a smile. She's a reassuring presence offering tissues, a sip of water, or a hand to hold. She knows exactly when to crack a joke, when to step in with quiet guidance, and when to give the bride space to take it all in. She orchestrates the day with grace, but her true magic is how she makes the couple feel - confident, cared for, and truly seen. On the biggest day of their lives they feel not only supported, but celebrated, thanks to this coordinator who feels more like a best friend than a vendor.
