Ease over exhaustion.
Fun over frustration.
Connection over chaos.

“Every time we talked, I felt that a weight had been lifted.

I felt like I was planning a wedding for a lot of other people, not myself - and there was a lot of unexpected tension between my future in-laws and my fiancé and I with a lot of the wedding decisions.
During my support sessions with Jacquelyn, she provided me with important validation and a safe space to vent - and every time we talked, I felt that a weight had been lifted! With her support, I had so much less anxiety about my wedding day, and about my relationships going forward.”

Why would anyone need emotional support for wedding planning?

 

96% of couples report at least one period of “overwhelming stress” during wedding planning; and without wedding-specific tools, understanding, and specialized support, my makeup clients were experiencing conflict, resentment, and relationship tension that lasted FAR beyond their wedding days.

Getting personal, wedding-specific guidance and care from a third-party professional with both wedding industry AND counseling training is a way to manage that overwhelm and avoid the stress, burn-out, and frustration.

  • COMMUNITY SUPPORT

    What if you could get relief, strategies, ideas, and encouragement from other people who are also getting married and also dealing with wedding planning overwhelm?

    Whether your wedding has been a major source of stress for you or you’re just looking for a space to vent, this is your place to connect with other celebrants (brides, grooms, and beyond) for validation, sharing tips and ideas, and bringing joy back into your wedding.

  • PERSONAL SUPPORT

    Looking for more private, personalized emotional support? Work one-on-one with Jacquelyn to explore your values, your communication and conflict styles, how you make decisions, and what you need in order to feel good about your wedding and marriage. Choose from a variety of options!

What Celebrants Are Saying:

  • “Jacquelyn was EXACTLY what I needed. She was so flexible and kind - and the guidance and information she provided me felt easy for me to implement and wasn't overwhelming, so I felt confident using it in a way that worked for me!

    What has been the most valuable for me is switching my mindset just slightly about how I feel. I'm now approaching things in a way that gives me room and space and lets me stay curious about the days where I may need to rest a bit more. It’s made a HUGE difference!”

  • “My partner didn't really seem to care as much about the wedding initially, so I’d felt kind of alone in the process. I also felt like things were slow moving because he wasn't helping me as much as I wanted.

    Being able to feel like I was in a safe space to talk freely without the fear of being judged was SO valuable - and especially being able to talk about the issues with my future in-laws, which was causing an incredible amount of stress.”

  • “The connection and trust Jacquelyn builds is what I appreciate most from our sessions. She speaks so openly, honestly, and thoughtfully, and she always asks for what you need in any particular moment - whether it be to hold space for your feelings and experiences or to explore different ways to navigate whatever you’re going through. She doesn’t try to ‘fix’ you, and I always leave my sessions feeling more empowered than when we started.

    Most of us just want to feel seen, heard and known, and Jacquelyn does exactly that every single time. Her heart and commitment to the wellbeing of others is truly remarkable.”
