Vendors
JLK Weddings does not stick to a preferred vendor list for clients.
“We are always open to working with new wedding vendors and making new friends,” says Jessica.
She does, however, provide a list of vendors she has worked with in the past and whose work she finds impeccable. Regardless of whether you choose from her list or bring in your favorite local business, Jessica is happy to partner with them to make your wedding day come to life.
Budget
Jessica has a firm commitment to honoring her couple’s finances. She and her staff maintain an awareness of the overall budget throughout the planning process. They won’t recommend vendors who don’t fit within your framework. Should they receive a discount from a vendor, they’ll pass that straight on to the couple.
