JENNA
Lauren brings a calm, joyful energy to the team and loves creating wedding days that feel meaningful, personal, and effortlessly fun.
A self-proclaimed taco-holic and devoted Gelati Celesti enthusiast, she’s always ready with a great recommendation for both dessert and late-night snacks. Her favorite part of a wedding day is a heartfelt speech, the kind that has everyone laughing one minute and tearing up the next.
When she’s not working weddings, you can usually find her reading a good book (preferably by a body of water), listening to Olivia Dean on repeat, or planning her next beach day.
With South African roots and a love for travel, Jenna brings a fresh perspective and adventurous spirit to every celebration she touches.
Her favorite part of the planning process is getting to know each couple’s vision and turning their dreams into a reality in a way that feels effortless and true to them. On the wedding day, nothing beats the moment she sees every detail come together watching months of thoughtful planning unfold into something unforgettable.
When she’s not planning weddings, you can usually find her outdoors with her dog or dreaming up her next getaway to the mountains!
