About Me

Hi, I’m Jess — the owner, lead planner and designer behind Your Events by Jess.

Originally from Southern California, my background is rooted in luxury events, where I cultivated a deep appreciation for intentional design, elevated aesthetics, and meaningful guest experiences. Now based in Southwest Missouri, I bring that same refined, West Coast sensibility to the Midwest — merging effortless sophistication with heartfelt hospitality.

At the heart of my work is a simple philosophy: every celebration should be intentionally designed, deeply felt, and unforgettably yours. From intimate gatherings to once-in-a-lifetime celebrations, I believe every event deserves to feel seamless, personal, and full of purpose.

With a natural eye for detail and a love for design, I take your vision and thoughtfully elevate it—transforming ideas into meaningful experiences that leave lasting impressions. Whether it’s a sophisticated wedding, a chic corporate event, or milestone celebration, my goal is always the same: to curate moments that feel effortless for you and extraordinary for your guests.

When you work with me, you’re not just hiring a planner — you’re gaining a trusted creative partner who brings care, calm, and artistry to every step of the process.

Your story deserves to be celebrated beautifully. I’d be honored to help bring it to life.

My Approach

Every event begins with intention. At Your Events by Jess, my process is rooted in truly understanding your story — what inspires you, what matters most, and how you want your guests to feel. From there, I thoughtfully design each element to reflect your vision with purpose and beauty.

Drawing on my background in Southern California’s luxury event scene, I blend refined design sensibilities with a fresh, approachable warmth that feels right at home in Southwest Missouri. The result? Events that are elevated yet effortless, polished yet deeply personal.

From the first meeting to the final toast, I’m hands-on with every detail — curating a planning experience that’s organized, creative, and calm. My goal is for you to feel fully present in every moment, knowing everything has been intentionally designed and flawlessly executed.

Because your event should be more than beautiful — it should be deeply felt and unforgettably yours.


Intentionally designed. Deeply felt. Unforgettably yours.
