Cruz Coordination

cess. Jessica expertly recommended vendors and helped us navigate the logistics of planning a blank slate venue. She was extremely communicative, even over a year out, and provided expert advice throughout the entire process. During one of our visits to Charleston, she attended our tasting with us and even brought us to the rentals showroom so that we could see our table settings in person. Jessica made sure that we had everything covered so that we could relax and enjoy the day. On the day of our wedding, I did not have to worry about anything because Jessica was 12 steps ahead of me the entire day. She truly made the day memorable for us and we could not have pulled it off without her!

ways promptly answered our many emails, provided suggestions for choosing local vendors, worked with our budget, offered excellent ideas and created a flawless wedding timeline. She wrangled the wedding party through a perfect rehearsal, breezed through any family dynamics, completely set up everything we personally brought for the wedding ceremony and reception! She had everything in place for the day of for the entire wedding party, and we never had to think about anything except relax and enjoy the day! Jessica was always there making sure the bride and groom, family and wedding party had drinks and appetizers while taking pictures after the ceremony. She directed our guests to where they needed to be, and they commented to us on how efficient, professional and genuinely sweet Jessica was throughout the entire day and night. Jessica also collected all of our personal belongings at the end of the night, and helped pack them in the car!! She truly is an amazing Wedding Coordinator!! And I should know because I too am a Wedding Coordinator, and she goes above and beyond on EVERYTHING! If you are looking for an expert who can execute your dream wedding, Jessica is who you need!!!

able, smart, and professional. She went above and beyond to make our day flawless (if there was anything that went “wrong” we had had no idea!) She responded to all of my questions in a timely manner and was extremely organized. When it came to our big day, one of my biggest fears was the weather…. Jessica went out of her way to make sure I wasn’t anxious about anything. She organized the rehearsal and our crazy wedding party flawlessly. All of the small things that did for us on our wedding made us feel so special! Jessica had a tray of all of the passed Hors d oeuvres we missed while we were taking photos during cocktail hour…. She made sure we had to go boxes for our hotel room etc. Jessica and her team made sure my husband, our parents, and myself had the drinks we wanted all night. She did such a fabulous job that our parents were even blown away. We would have been lost without her and are so grateful for her!!! Don’t hesitate to book Cruz Coordinations! You won’t regret it!

ing to ensure that every aspect of our big day was tailored to perfection. Since we are not from Charleston, Jessica's vendor recommendations were a game-changer! Each one she suggested fit our vision and budget perfectly. And the fact that she was always available to hop on a call whenever I had even the tiniest of questions provided a level of comfort and confidence that every bride and groom should experience. Her organizational skills ensured that the whole wedding planning process was smooth, and the timeline she established was adhered to without a hitch. Come the day of our wedding, everything flowed seamlessly. Jessica's meticulous planning, coordination, and dedication culminated in what was nothing short of a fairytale event. We didn't have to stress or worry about a single detail, thanks to her. To all the couples out there in search of a planner who will go above and beyond to help make your wedding dreams a reality, look no further than Jessica. She's a gem in the wedding industry, and we are forever grateful for her unparalleled service and expertise. Thank you, Jessica, for making our day truly unforgettable!

ery detail. The day was absolutely flawless as she ran the show in the background while making me, the bride, feel celebrated all day!!

y no worries. The planning leading up was also amazing, she always made sure that we were on track and answered all of our questions. There aren’t enough words to describe how happy we are with using Jessica. If there was a way to give her more than 5 stars, I would do it.

utely made the entire expereience stress free from day 1!! Jessica is upbeat, kind but on her game! We had inclemental weather and she made our wedding even better than we had oringinally planned (unreal!!!). We are forever grateful and indebted to Jessica and cant recommend her enough for your special day!

and asked questions for things I hadn't even thought of. For the day of I was able to sit back and enjoy the day knowing that she had everything covered and running smoothly!

truly made our wedding vision come to life. We are from out of town, and she helped us coordinate the wedding seamlessly from afar. She was super helpful with all of her suggestions, and very responsive with getting back to all of my questions. She is extremely knowledgeable and professional. She really put me at ease, especially on our wedding day! It was totally stress free and everything was truly perfect. Even the placement of all the wedding decor I brought - she displayed it perfectly! I cannot recommend Jessica enough. Do not hesitate to book with her, she is the BEST!

ost a year and a half helping this type b personality get it together for the most epic day ever. She makes you feel like you are the ONLY wedding and bride she has. She goes above and beyond to make you feel so special and I can’t believe we got so lucky to find her. If there were 10 stars they would be hers

bly responsive and a consummate professional. Anytime you have a question, she provides the most comprehensive answer. At the start of our outdoor reception, we had an unexpected storm roll in off the coast--fast and furiously with high winds and sideways rain. Jessica leapt into action and made some quick decisions to ensure that our event was as minimally disrupted as possible. Undoubtedly a highly stressful situation for her, but as a bride, all I ever saw was her calm demeanor and a warm reassuring smile. Even in what I can only imagine was pure chaos behind the scenes, she still continuously checked in, made sure we got to enjoy our hor d'oeuvres and our dinner, and always kept a drink in our hands! I didn’t worry about a thing! She is simply AMAZING! We had a magical night and a wedding dream come true!

she wanted our day to be just as special as we wanted it to be. Great communication and coordination, down to the last detail. She always had an answer and great advice along the way. Others have said it, but we'll repeat it - If you're in the Charleston Area, this is your wedding coordination team. We would give greater than a 5 star rating if we could!

retty much never stressed throughout the entire planning process. We were able to fully enjoy our engagement because we weren't overwhelmed with wedding planning! Jessica let us know exactly what information she needed from us, what decisions we needed to make and by when, and gave all of her expert opinion in guiding us for decisions! We never had to worry about forgetting an important detail, because Jessica was on top of it. She was incredibly professional and responsive, but was also just the nicest person which made it seem like you were working with an old friend! On the day of, she was an absolute life-saver. She took care of overseeing all of the setup, was there anytime I needed her for a last-minute dress mishap and figuring out how to put on my veil, and when we had an accidental glass breakage, she was there in seconds with a broom to sweep up the glass! She also was continuously checking in on us to make sure we always had a drink, got a chance to eat, and that we were having the best night ever! I cannot recommend Jessica enough. She was by far our most important vendor and worth every penny. If you want someone who will execute your dream wedding flawlessly at a reasonable price, then Cruz Coordination is the way to go!

so responsive and informative in every decision we made. She provided so many options when it came to vendors, helped us get discounts with rentals, brainstormed ideas for rain plans, transportation, ceremony flow, and so much more. My husband was deployed through much of the planning process, and I cannot express fully how much it meant to me to have her be so excited during the walk through, tastings, linen selection, & other decisions while he was gone. Jessica went above and beyond during our wedding week - coordinating with all vendors, our venue, and us - to make sure everyone was on the same page. The rehearsal was so organized, all our people knew exactly how things would run day of and Jessica was so approachable if people had questions. Our wedding ended up being so absolutely perfect because of her. The timing, placement, & flow of everything was so smooth and made it stress free for us. If you are thinking of hiring Jessica DO IT because she’s amazing, kind, fun, and so on top of it! We love you Jessica! - Claire & Robbie

lia Plantation Carriage House one month ago today. Jessica was absolutely wonderful to work with throughout the wedding planning journey but she and her staff were truly amazing on the day of the wedding. She orchestrated an absolutely fairytale wedding for my beautiful daughter! From day one, Jessica has been a wealth of knowledge and so kind to work with. When its time for our second daughter to marry, my very first call will be to Jessica!

iately knew that Jessica was my girl just after the first few minutes of talking. She was extremely professional yet I felt like I was also talking to a good friend! My husband and I live in New York full time and were very nervous to plan a wedding from afar. Jessica made this extremely easy. Her organization through various schedules and documents helped keep us on track and consider things we never would have never thought of ourselves. She was always on top of getting in touch via email, text, and phone call. When we finally met in person, a year after we started working together, it was like meeting up with a best friend. We chatted about all things wedding and got to know each other over drinks and great food. This was by far one of the best parts of my wedding planning experience! Jessica kept in constant contact with me throughout my wedding week. The day before the wedding, I texted Jessica panicking because the weather was supposed to be terrible. Jessica immediately eased my nerves and took care of everything. Even in strong winds and cold/rainy weather, she made sure every flower, napkin, decoration, and food item was in place. Not to mention, she checked in constantly with me and my husband to make sure we had everything we needed. I feel incredibly lucky that Cannon Green recommended Jessica. She is the reason why our wedding turned out amazing, and why I felt immensely taken care of throughout the wedding planning process. I cannot recommend this fantastic lady enough. You will be in the best of hands by hiring her has your wedding planner!

wedding planner and she was on top of everything! What makes Jessica different is that she went out of her way to walk one of my guest a couple blocks from the venue to their car. That right means the world to me! I recommend Jessica to all brides!

as, she made the planning process seamless and was there every step of the way to answer any questions we had. Not only was planning process easy, she made the day of our wedding absolutely perfect. She made sure our venue looked exactly how we imagined. She made sure everyone was where they needed to be. She made sure we ate and always had a drink fresh drink. She even helped when my dress lost a button. It was truly more than I could have ever expected. Jessica is so good at what she does and makes you feel at ease with the whole process. My only wish is that I could have hired her for longer - it went too fast. :)

ors. Jessica was the first to respond and instantly wanted to get to know us and our vision, it was a no brainer to go with her. She was amazing at handling all of the little details and was 100% the reason our day was so perfect. Loved working with her!

and was incredibly organized. We felt very confident in her abilities to pull off our celebration. We loved every moment of it. We’re so thankful for her help!

destination wedding. Jessica was able to recommend all of my vendors (which were all just as amazing as her) and kept me organized planning a destination wedding during a pandemic. I wasn't able to travel to Charleston as much as I wanted during the process (covid) but Jessica made everything so easy doing it all virtually. One of my biggest concerns from the beginning was that my brother was going to be our officiant so I needed someone who could really guide us through the ceremony process. When I told her this she was so on board with it and so supportive and helpful (of course, it all turned out perfect!). There are so many details to the wedding that I didn't even think about because of her. Her organized timeline for the day of was a life saver for our families and bridal party and us too. She was responsive, informed, supportive, fun and energetic throughout the whole process. I would say I was most impressed with Jessica on the day of (which is hard to say because I was so impressed the whole time). I literally did nothing for myself on the day of! She was at the venue in the morning organizing all the vendors and every time I saw her she was asking me what I needed (usually it was a glass of champagne, which she always had for me!). She knew exactly what to do and where to be and made me feel like I knew what I was doing. I can't even put into words how amazing she was to work with. I text her the night before the wedding (at 9pm, when nothing was open) wanting to add some outside heaters to the venue. She immediately took care of it and had the heaters at the venue the next morning at 9am (She's magic I tell ya!!) I could keep going on and on about her but you need to find out for yourself!!! If you want the most carefree, enjoyable day of your life HIRE JESSICA!! My parents were also very very pleased with her and everything she did for them. She always made sure to meet our families and take care of them as well. She seriously thought of everything!! Our day wouldn't have been as perfect without her!!

mely disorganized and a huge procrastinator which is probably a wedding planners worst nightmare, although I would have never known it working with Jessica. She was so patient, organized, kind, helpful, and reassuring. I truly thought I was going to have a stroke the week before my wedding since my guest count was dropping like flies, but Jessica kept me calm and helped me to rearrange our seating chart and rental order 70000 times. She is only a "partial" planner, but I felt like she did SO MUCH for me down to providing sparklers for our wedding exit that I WAS SUPPOSED TO ORDER AND DIDN'T. My wedding would not have happened without her. If you are questioning who to hire for your wedding planner, STOP HERE AND HIRE JESSICA ASAP. You will not be disappointed.

re are so many details that go into planning a wedding and I can't imagine having to do it on our own. Our day was perfect and I felt like a guest at my own wedding which is exactly what I wanted!

t!!! And who was our leader navigating us?? Jessica Cruz! We have three daughters and this was our 3rd and last wedding to plan. All I can say is, from start to finish, Jessica provided us with by far the best experience ever! She was so professional, yet very personable. Her attention to detail, every detail, was amazing! She was calm throughout and we knew we were in great hands at all times!! When we were forced to postpone the wedding due to corona, she contacted all of our vendors to make sure they were open for the new date and was so helpful in passing on any discounts that they might offer! Every single Vendor that we selected from her list was outstanding to work with! After planning 3 weddings, I have a bit of experience working with caterers, florists, lighting and rental companies, and these Vendors really exceeded our expectations!! We received comments all evening like, “the best food we’ve ever had at a wedding”. and “ the flowers, lighting, etc are just gorgeous”! I am someone that always notices the details and “sweats the small stuff” and the whole week of, I felt totally relaxed and worry free! All of that is due to Jessica and her staff. We wholeheartedly recommend Cruz Coordination!! Don’t plan your wedding without them!!

y dealt with weddings of 200+ guests. When a wedding planner recommends another wedding planner to you, chances are they are name dropping someone great from experience or word of mouth. Enter Jessica Cruz... If I had a place to write a headline it would read "Meticulous wedding planning done by your best friend." Stumbling upon Jessica Cruz was the absolute luckiest and best thing that could have happened for us and our special day. She is meticulous, thorough, engaging, supportive, loving, caring, thoughtful and more importantly she treats you like family. Its almost like our wedding was her own. Jessica Cruz is the first and last person I would recommend to anyone for wedding planning although I know she is probably excellent at many other things. For you brides out there, one thing you must know is that my wife had ZERO complaints and no issues with our wedding day. My wife still raves on about how amazing Jessica was and what a phenomenal job she did for us. For a coordinator to pull off a flawless wedding at Lowndes Grove with lots of moving parts means she is absolutely a consummate professional. If I had to do it all over again, I would have Jessica Cruz plan the whole thing again. If you are looking for a wonderful, detail oriented, well known and respected wedding coordinator in the Charleston area look no further than our friend, Jessica Cruz.

er a plan B for my outdoor venue. She was able to find a clear tent (hours away) and put up sides since the winds were supposed to be up to 60 mph. Even though the whole plan changed just 2 days before, Jessica was able to make the inside of the tent truly magical. I was completely at ease because I knew she would make it perfect and she sure did deliver!! She is amazing! Not only day of, but she helped my husband and I through the whole process of planning and didn't forget a single detail. She is super organized and well connected with all the vendors in the area. I cannot recommend her enough!! Best decision!

stions regarding other vendors, etc., some necessary, some optional. Jessica was never “pushy” and respected our wishes and facilitated my daughter having her “dream” wedding. The day of the wedding Jessica took care of everything from scheduling to vendors and assuring everything was the way we planned. We just showed up and had a great time. She responds promptly to questions and any issues that arise. I highly recommend Cruz Coordination!!

ause of Jessica and her team, our wedding day was stress-free. To be specific, here are some of my favorite things about Jessica. She has top-notch vendor recommendations and she doesn't let just anyone go on her list. Everyone she recommended was wonderful to work with but she was also excellent with our vendors/friends involved in the wedding as well. She contacted everyone involved and made sure all were on the same page. Her experience and knowledge of vendors was so valuable. Secondly, we really appreciated that Jessica gave honest opinions. She always steered us in the right direction, keeping in mind our budget and wasn't afraid to push back for our benefit. She's the expert - trust her opinion. Lastly, Jessica is a ton of fun and looks out for your best interest. On our wedding day, Jessica and Heidi were so attentive, organized and joyful. They made sure we stayed hydrated and happy ( I love how they would dance on and off the dance floor to give us water and drinks, never letting the party stop.) They roll with the punches and mishaps (as are bound to happen) with grace and poise. I cannot recommend Jessica enough!

above and beyond to help us make the day a great one. She is prompt and incredibly detailed in her communication, amazing with the timeline and layouts, and was instrumental in organizing the numerous rentals a large outdoor event requires. When, in a crazy turn of events, our neighbors planned a wedding for the same night, Jessica graciously helped us rework our plan for another space. While we hope no other couples (or Jessica) have to go through anything similar, the fact that she was able to handle the shift with such aplomb (and, in fact, helped make our plan B even more magical!) testifies to what an amazing planner and person she is. She is fantastic at balancing details and the big picture, and noticed so many things in the planning and week-of setup that made the day all the better. We are incredibly thankful to her for helping us to create a night beyond our biggest dreams.

rganized human being—she truly knows how to run the show leading up to, and on the day of a wedding. Jessica went above and beyond to make sure every detail was hit and every box was checked off. My entire wedding party kept commenting on how fantastic she was, everyone was truly impressed. I can't tell if it was the sheer happiness of us surrounded by family & friends, or just how much I loved working with her (perhaps a mix of the two), but I felt compelled to hug her at every interaction on our wedding day. She was so thoughtful in making sure we were taken care of, we were so thankful to have her there! The day went flawlessly, the planning was precise and organized, everything Jessica touched came out perfectly. Look no further, this is the person you want leading the charge for your big day! Thank you again Jessica for making our day incredible!

tant communication with her as I had over the past year as she helped me plan our wedding day she is so gracious and professional all the while making sure ever single detail was on point!! Do yourself a HUGE favor and hire her it will make your wedding planning process enjoyable and your wedding day stress free and perfect!

agement she was responsive and her attention to detail was outstanding. There was not one stone left unturned. I was most impressed with our actual wedding day and how smoothly everything ran. Even with last minute ceremony location, it was so effortless and there were no hiccups that my husband and I truly enjoyed ourselves and did not have a single thing to worry about. Jessica was an angel and I thank her for everything she did to make out wedding dreams come true!

lmost all of our other amazing vendors. I was a bit nervous about planning a wedding remotely from South Florida, but our wedding day turned out absolutely perfect thanks to her hard work and attention to detail. She is so organized and thinks of absolutely EVERYTHING. I would highly, highly recommend her to any brides-to-be getting married in the Charleston area! Best decision you will make!

d to helping us navigate crazy weather to helping fix the bustle on my dress, she was so present and so helpful throughout the planning process and on the day of the wedding. Hiring Jessica is the best money you will spend in your wedding!!!!!

ing planning and helping us focus on details that we would have overlooked without her guidance. She gave us amazing suggestions about the layout at our venue and vendors to choose. She created and helped us complete a day of timeline that kept our wedding day running so smoothly. On our wedding day, Jessica truly made our day perfect. My grandma had a health scare the morning of my wedding and when she arrived just minutes before the ceremony, Jessica literally put together her wheel chair - talk about going above and beyond! Jessica was so committed to making our day perfect and she really did! Hiring Jessica was easily the best decision we made in our wedding planning!

r venue (Cannon Green) suggested we reach out to Jessica as a day of coordinator. It was the best decision we could have made. Being that close to the finish line our budget was getting tight and it was hard to justify any additional costs. Let me tell you, It was money well spent! She helped keep us on track and organized my ideas. Between an extensive questionnaire and working together on a timeline all the details came together seamlessly. There were so many little things that I wouldn’t have thought of without her help. Jessica allowed my Husband and I to enjoy our day and not worry about anything. She and her assistant even helped take Polaroids at our photo booth station! We can’t recommend her enough. Thanks so much for making our day stress free and letting us focus on all the fun!

n Charleston and we could not have done it without Jessica’s knowledge of vendors, years of experience, and extreme organizational skills! On top of that, our wedding was at Magnolia Plantation and Jessica used to work there so she knew everyone there and exactly how things work there! We loved working with Jessica and definitely think she’s the best choice for coordinating a Charleston wedding!

I was planning from states away and made it easy! Everything went so smoothly the day of! I would highly recommend Cruz Coordination to anyone getting married in the Charleston area!

rs, and kept me on time with the deadlines which I would have most definitely missed without her. We purchased her partial wedding planning service and it was well worth the price! Plus she gets you discounts on major vendors that ended up saving us a lot of money. Ladies, book her early!

r in our entire wedding. (No, I am not exaggerating.) Do yourself a favor, and book Jessica now. I cannot write enough good things about her!

ssica as our wedding coordinator. We chose to get married at Magnolia Plantation; Jessica came highly recommended not only by Magnolia, but also by every single vendor we encountered. Jessica is so detail-oriented--she really thinks of everything! Jessica is very efficient and quick to respond to emails. She provided such great, detailed advice about choosing vendors and planning our wedding timeline. She really has the inside scoop on planning a wedding in Charleston. Our wedding rehearsal and wedding day went so smoothly, and I know I only have Jessica to thank! Not only is Jessica amazing at her job, but she is also a genuinely sweet and friendly person. She has a great, calming presence, and she immediately put me at ease when I met her. I guarantee that your wedding day will be amazing if you choose Jessica! She's the BEST!

on to detail is remarkable and it was so nice NOT having to worry beforehand or on the day of. I highly recommend Jessica's service to any bride-to-be.

vision become a reality! She was super detailed and quick when responding to my emails! She kept me calm throughout the entire process and she was SUPER organized!

re for us when we had questions planning, and then made sure all vendors came and went smoothly the whole day of our wedding. She was so sweet with our family and friends and really made sure everyone had a great time! Thank you!!

does and you can really tell when working with her. She goes above and beyond and is constantly available for guidance and to me, it feels like she never stops working. She took so much stress off of me and my now husband so that we could enjoy our day. Even with it raining on our wedding day, Jessica was ready with a backup plan and it still worked out beautifully. I had tried reaching out to several planners in the area and Jessica was the first and ONLY one to respond and was in constant contact ever since (with a two year engagement). I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a planner. She is so awesome and we are beyond grateful for everything she did for us. You certainly will not be disappointed if you decide to go with her.
