Permission to Be Yourself
Serving California & Destinations Worldwide
with an Unconventional Approach
What if I told you that your wedding could be unlike anything you’ve experienced before? Wildly original, radically fun, and a conversation topic for years to come…
From my home base in Santa Barbara to idyllic locations around the globe, I plan weddings that break the mold and transcend expectations, weddings that really channel the pulse and feel of who you are—as individuals, and as a couple.
I give you permission to be yourself.
Want to cut to the chase and see all of the amazing parties I’ve thrown?
Right this way
The woman behind Onyx and Redwood
I am a born rule bender, boundary pusher, and party planner.
Pretty weddings are all good and well, but what I’m really interested in is working with people who want an epic wedding, a wedding that pushes against convention and really digs deep into your vision and your story.
With my high-energy and detail-oriented nature, I bring it all together; the quirky and the crazy with the elegance and luxury.
From sunny Santa Barbara weddings to destination soirees in the most memorable of locales, I’m here for it.

You live life fully as yourself — out loud and unapologetically.
Why should your wedding be any different?
High-touch, design-focused, and anything but typical—wedding planning is personal and you need a planner that understands that. I offer a wide array of services that truly elevate your entire experience and exceed your expectations.

I can truly say that our whole wedding weekend was absolutely flawless thanks to Jess and her team. I don’t know too many brides who can say that and to me that is invaluable!
Shannon & Darren
Jess knew me and what I wanted better than I knew myself, and the end product was everything I could have ever wanted and more. I would recommend her to anyone who wants their true love story told!
Lauren & Shane
Jess is boss who will deliver the wedding of your dreams. She effortlessly took over all vendor coordination and made sure to plug in the gaps we didn’t consider.
