Disney magic runs in Julie's veins and her family visits the mouse as often as possible; a lover of all games, a part-time adventurer and baker. She may love a good rollercoaster but is terrified of drop-rides and anything with more than a dozen legs.

Julie's favorite things: Baking, going to the theater, games, building blanket forts with her daughter Ella and husband Travis, floating a Texas river, BBQing with family, and exploring nature in Colorado.

"I can't find my camo pants"

Jess grew up in Santa Barbara, California and after graduating from ULCA with a Bachelor’s of Arts degree in Design and Media Arts, she moved to Austin on New Year’s Day, 2011. She discovered her love for event planning at a young age, working with her mom to plan, design and execute live and silent auctions for many non-profits in Southern California. The magical balance of left and right brain drew Jess in; event coordinating gave her an opportunity to be both creative and logistical and she was hooked.

There is nothing more satisfying for Jess than seeing a client’s vision come together day-of. She knows that amazing creativity is lost without seamless coordination and strives to execute both for each and every client. With the right planning approach, she believes that no idea is too “crazy”.

Jess is open and eager to try any new outdoor activity, always has a corny joke up her sleeve and is terrified of touching the bottom of the lake barefoot!

Jess’ favorite things: sketchbook doodles, dark comedies, her pups, Big Fred and Sparrow, living room dance parties with her fiancé, Stephen, and, always, a frozen margarita on a patio.
