Santa Barbara Wedding Planner

Permission to Be Yourself

Serving California & Destinations Worldwide

Embrace Unconventional Elegance

with modern wedding planning

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.  

Meet Jess

The creative force behind Onyx and Redwood

I am a born rule bender, boundary pusher, and party planner.

While beautiful weddings hold their charm, my real passion lies in collaborating with those who envision an extraordinary journey, a wedding that defies norms, encapsulating their unique stories and aspirations.

Fueled by my dynamic energy and meticulous attention to detail, I masterfully blend the unconventional with the refined – seamlessly fusing eccentricity and opulence.

From sun-soaked Santa Barbara nuptials to destination extravaganzas set against the backdrop of the most captivating landscapes, I'm here, wholeheartedly devoted to turning dreams into reality.

More About Me

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.
