Favorite Wedding Moment: That moment when I send the bride down the aisle!

Jes Frank, Owner

Hi Beautiful,

Thank you for stopping by. I can't wait to hear all about your vision and your  story!

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 for event coordinators, wedding planners, and catering companies. I’ve gained so much experience behind the scenes that it prepared me to launch my own company in 2016. I believe in ALWAYS learning, so I've gotten a Bachelors degree in Event Management, wedding planning certified by Kevin Lee, and interned for both him and David Tutera in Los Angeles.

In 2018 I bought Bride and Joy and opened up a 2500 square foot warehouse to offer specialty rentals and decor to clients.  I look forward to creating with you!

Fun Facts

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

I always ALWAYS look at the dessert menu first...because I'm a planner and you have to decide these things early!

Matthew 6:34 is my life verse.

I'm incredibly honored to have started a charity that turned 130 years of my family's work in Guatemala into an official non-profit called Raising Guatemala.

Lynsey, Lead Assistant

Lynsey is the best hype girl. She makes everyone feel like a star . She puts our couples first and will notice even the smallest of things she can do to make them feel confident, comfortable, and happy. She is an expert at perfectly fluffing the bride's dress while giving calming words of affirmation before sending her down the aisle.  Once the major wedding events are done for the evening and the reception is flowing, you can catch her  dancing in the corner to some Backstreet Boys like nobody's business.

Mini, Warehouse Manager

Bride and Joy would not be up and running without this man. He keeps our orders organized and arriving at their locations on the right days and times. He fixes broken things and creates beautiful new pieces. He shows up to every event with a smile on his face and goes out of his way to make each big day run smoothly. His positivity and energy can change the mood of a whole room.   He's the guy you know you can turn to to with any problem and he will MacGyver a way to make it all work.
