Jessica was unbelievable to work with! Sweet, funny, and very professional. She made sure to keep our budget on track by being mindful of the goals we set out from the start of wedding planning - I never once felt she was pushing us in a direction we didn't want to go, and she was very good at telling us which vendors/items were at the higher or lower end of the wedding market spectrum in order for us to make the right decision. Was extremely flexible to schedule calls and meetings. The day before and day of, every one knew their marching orders and the wedding went off without a hitch (everyone involved was given a detailed schedule to abide by the night before, vendors were contacted with a complete schedule the week before). We even had a couple fires and she was able to address before we even found out about them - so the day was flawless. Couldn't recommend her or her team more. This team is worth every penny!

If you're getting married (which it appears you are) my biggest piece of advice would be to hire Jessica from White Birch Weddings!!! I went into the process thinking I could do it all on my own, and quickly realized I needed help. After interviewing numerous planners I had a phone call with Jessica and knew immediately she was "the one" for me. She is direct, flexible, easy to talk to, open to ideas and has exquisite taste. She knows her market, all the best vendors and has an answer for everything. I also really appreciated how she steered me away from the things I didn't really need, kept me grounded, and held me to my "homework" assignments. I am pretty busy in my own career, but Jessica helped me stay on track throughout the whole process. I honestly couldn't have done this without her. Thank you, White Birch Weddings, for helping to make my wedding day THE BEST EVER!

Jessica with White Birch Weddings and Events was just the person I needed to execute my wedding day! She is so organized and connected with other wedding vendors and venues. I had complete confidence that everything would go smoothly throughout the entire day. Not only did she go above and beyond on the wedding day, but she always made herself available when I needed to chat about the many decisions to be made over the course of many months. Jessica is great, and her services are worth every penny. I initially thought I wouldn’t need a coordinator because my venue had someone onsite. I am so happy I made the decision to go with Jessica. It was so comforting to know that she was advocating for my interests which helped me to relax and enjoy my wedding day.

Jessica was magnificent! We could not have asked for a better planner! Every detail was accounted for, she kept us on schedule and made sure our wedding day was exactly what we hoped it would be. She worked within our budget and helped us come up with creative ideas for the big day! We appreciated that she made a trip to Boulder (where we live) to meet with us in person when we kicked off the planning process. She made a point to meet our families and make sure they were comfortable and up to speed with all of the events during the weekend. Most importantly, she always had us feeling at ease about the planning and assured us that everything would come together perfectly! Whenever something came up that appeared to be a potential issue, she was already on it! Jessica, thank you so much! Love, Sara and Riley

If you are having a wedding in any mountain town, do yourself a favor and hire Jessica! We originally planned on doing all of the planning by ourselves, but after hitting a standstill in planning about 7 months out from our wedding we decided we needed help. I have to say it was the best decision we made. Sure.. many Denver based wedding planners can pull off a decent mountain wedding, but Jessica can help you do it flawlessly with the deep relationships she has with vendors all over the I-70 corridor. She helped us find many fantastic mountain based vendors that we could not find otherwise and helped us find a perfect venue for our Vail village rehearsal dinner/welcome party the night before the wedding. I'm not sure how she does it, but she makes you feel like you're her only client when she actually has weddings booked every weekend. One of my favorite qualities of Jessica is her ability to read her clients, she takes the time to get to know you and really understand what you value, what's important to you, and what your vision is. In times of indecisiveness, she remembers all of this and helps you make well thought out and logical decisions. Lastly, our families LOVED Jessica. When they finally got to meet the person we had been raving about for months, they totally got it. Jessica went out of her way to take care of any bumps that arose the week/day of the wedding and it did not go unnoticed. Our day was perfect and none of it could have been possible without White Birch Weddings.

If you are getting married in Vail (or anywhere near), Jessica at White Birch is your girl! I live in Texas and hired Jessica as a partial planner because I had a pretty specific vision (and event experience), but knew I needed boots on the ground and someone to help execute that vision locally. Cue Jessica Gillespie. She was super organized and the perfect planning partner, recommending the best vendors in the area and always being super responsive during the planning process. I am a super A-type personality and knew I really needed someone I could trust so I could let go of the reigns during the wedding week, and Jessica did just that. Do yourself a favor and give her a call :).
