Jessica was AMAZING to work with. She was so patient with us through multiple date changes during the pandemic and even through the birth of her own child! And not once did we feel as though she wasn't available when we needed her. She gave fantastic recommendations for vendors (we don't regret hiring a single one) and ran the wedding day so smoothly that if anything went wrong, we had no clue because we didn't hear about it. Our wedding was everything we hoped for and more, and it's due in large part to Jessica and her team :)

Where do we even start. When we first spoke with Jess, we knew right away we'd want to work with her for our wedding. Grant and I both didn't know what we wanted specifically in our wedding, and Jess was able to just give all the suggestions and recommendations for vendors and for decorations and ideas.
Jess saved us in the end with our wedding, as a month and half prior to our wedding date, our venue cancelled on us. We went on hunting for venues with the help of Jess. We basically almost gave up planning on our wedding but luckily since we had Jess around, that we left everything

We started working with Jessica just 3 months before our wedding due to covid putting our wedding plans on hold. We were extremely worried about being able to plan the entire wedding with only 3 months left but Jessica reassured us that it would be doable -- and she delivered. Jessica was extremely easy to collaborate with. She is friendly, patient, and responsive. She was also extremely flexible in meeting up whenever we needed some face time, even late at night. There was a clear checklist of items for us to get through and templates for information that we needed to fill out. She kept things

TL;DR
Jessica is AMAZING, and I would 10+/10 recommend her for all your event planning needs!

Jessica was the planner (and MVP) for our wedding in April 2021.
I first met Jessica back in December 2018 after I got engaged and had initially planned for a May 2020 wedding. With COVID, we went through multiple (and I really do mean MULTIPLE) venue and date changes before being able to finally have our wedding, and Jessica stuck by our side throughout it all, went to infinity and beyond, and delivered MAGIC.

JMK Events went above and beyond for us on our wedding day and the months leading up to it! We hired Jessica to coordinate our micro-wedding in March of 2021 in the Bay Area. She handled every change and potential reschedule (due to COVID) very smoothly and professionally. Planning and coordinating a wedding is a huge undertaking, let alone the added difficulty due to COVID, but Jessica handled it excellently. I would hands-down say that she was the most important person in making it all happen and come together.
Jessica was wonderful to work with; she is very organized and attentive to all small

Jessica is an all-time pro. She was our month of coordinator for our fall 2019 wedding. Although she was technically a "month of" she really helped throughout the whole process. She helped us find two of our vendors and checked in with us periodically leading up to the month. Then, we had several meetings to go over timelines and finalize decorations. She went above and beyond what we asked of her. Jessica joined us for our final walkthrough at the venue site and asked questions we didn't even think to ask. Up until that point, my husband and I had been planning on our own. It was

President of the event company (Allison @ JMK Shows) is not only rude, but unfair to prospective vendors. Would not issue a promised refund to a friend's company who was going to raise money for charity at one of the events put on by JMK Shows. She had a family emergency so had to back out and was willing to display at a different show and Allison promised a refund and then charged her card twice for the show she couldn't attend! For a start-up not-for-profit company, a hit like this makes a big impact and a company like JMK who has been in business a long time, should extend not only professional

Jessica was the wedding coordinator for my wedding at Villa Montalvo (Saratoga, CA) in spring/summer of 2019. My wife and I found her by chance and were extremely fortunate to have done so. It did not take us long after our initial meeting to choose her to help run one of the most important events of our life.
We met with her several times in the months leading up to the wedding to outline the many things we needed to be working/thinking about, help make sure our planning remained on schedule, review and discuss different aspects of the decisions we were making, ensure that we did not overlook

Jessica was amazing from start to finish. We hired Jessica as a 'day of' coordinator but she consistently went above and beyond every expectation we had. We were able to meet with her several times in person before the wedding to help with planning. She was also always incredibly responsive via email and phone the entire time leading up to the day of the wedding. The day of the wedding she ended up going even further above and beyond our expectations. We were doing a lot of the wedding on our own and had hired some people to help us clean up the venue after the wedding. When they didn

When you think you can do everything on your own it's because you are not close enough to the big day! I worked with Jess for months prior to the wedding we were both vendors for this past weekend. I can say she was more than helpful in making my job as a dj and emcee easy.
We started planning and working together on multiple aspects of the wedding, from timeline to music to floor plans to cocktail hour and ceremony. With her help all events went through smooth.
If your planning and worried about being overwhelmed, don't worry Jess is very easy to work with, answers in a timely manner

Jessica was our wedding coordinator for our wedding in August, 2016 and she was amazing! She sat down with us a few times to give us a good idea of what putting together a wedding looked like and what sort of realistic expectations we should give ourselves in terms of amount of time needed to get things done and listed a whole bunch of details that we would've missed.
On the day of our wedding, she took care of talking with and keeping track of all of our vendors since we had a separate vendor for everything, at a church venue (rather than the all-in-one sort of packages). Jessica also has
