Happy Monday friends!
Today I wanted to introduce you to the JDW team. If I can’t be there on your wedding day, one of these beauties is taking charge! You can read the bios on our About page, but I thought I’d put some fun questions below.
Gabi – Owner + Senior Lead Planner
What’s your favorite drink?
A Paloma!
Who’s your favorite singer/band?
Maggie Rodgers, LANY, and Ben Platt to name a few!
What’s your favorite part of wedding day?
Getting to be a fly on the wall for the private moments of a wedding day: adjusting your train before you walk down the aisle, the cheer after you recess down your aisle, your bestie practicing their speech one more time – these are memories I will cherish forever!
What brings you JOY?
Going to concerts, aesthetically pleasing charcuterie boards, road trips, crossing off everything on a to do list, and trying new restaurants in the twin cities (send me your recs!)
Sophrona – Lead Planner
What’s your favorite drink?
Freakshow Cabernet
Who’s your favorite singer/band?
Currently – King Callaway
What’s your favorite part of wedding day?
The few moments after a couple has just come back down the aisle and I get a moment alone to tell them “You’re Married!!” I get to see the joy that comes across their faces with just those two little words, and nothing is better than that!
What brings you JOY?
Vikings Victory, My Passion Planner, Lake Days, and My Puppy Calvin!
Hannah – Lead Planner
What’s your favorite drink?
Martini up, slightly dirty with the most crucial ingredient – blue cheese stuffed olives
Who’s your favorite singer/band?
Anyone who knows me will tell you, I am a true Swiftie so this is an easy one for me, Taylor Swift
What’s your favorite part of wedding day?
My favorite part of every wedding is soaking in all the love that happens in that one day – it is a joy & privilege to make each couple’s vision of their “best day ever” come to life!
What brings you JOY?
Clutter free spaces, cuddles with my dog, travel itineraries, quality time with family, a round of golf, live music and a good glass of red wine.
Ellie – Assistant Planner
What’s your favorite drink?
An Americano with a splash of almond milk
Who’s your favorite singer/band?
Jason Mraz or James Bay
What’s your favorite part of wedding day?
Whether they are making me laugh, or cry, speeches are hands down my favorite part. There’s something really special about the way people talk their loved ones.
What brings you JOY?
Binge watching Dateline, breakfast foods (especially donuts), The Gophers and Sundays.
