Hiiii, it’s been a while. 🤍

We’ve got some new faces around here so I thought it was time to re-introduce myself! 🥰

I’m Jess — mama to Teaghan, coffee fanatic, & owner of Cheers! Events. A little bit about me:

✨ I graduated from ISU with a degree in Event Management in 2018
✨ I worked for ISU as a wedding & event planner from 2016-2022
✨ I started Cheers! Events as a side-gig with my close friend Nicole in March 2020 (literally 2 weeks before COVID shut the world down 🤪)
✨ Through the years, we’ve taken very limited # of weddings per year as we both worked full-time in the event industry (working weekends for our full-time jobs + Cheers! Events)
✨ In October 2022, I left ISU to be a full-time SAHM + started working as a virtual assistant/beauty coordinator for (s/o to my HDG brides 🥰)
✨ Cheers! Events was my first “baby”, but now I am so grateful to have the opportunity to be home with my daughter + pursue my passion for weddings & events
✨ 99% of my weddings are referrals from previous clients & vendors (the biggest compliment!!)
✨ When I’m not working weekends for Cheers! Events, you might find me with some of my “friendors” — doing set up with Pretty Petunia Floral, hanging at The Evermore, or modeling for a shoot for The Sugared Bug (as pictured)

Basically, my life (+ all my jobs/hobbies) revolve around the DSM wedding + event industry. 🤩 I truly love what I do, and I LOVE the people I get to work with (vendors, couples, families, etc.)

If you are looking for a wedding coordinator, I still have some fall 2023 + 2024 dates available! Inquire on my website (link in bio) or DM me to chat more. 🤍

It’s Erin + Andrew‘s wedding week, and I CANNOT contain my feels!!! 🥹

I booked their wedding date when I was super duper pregnant, not knowing at the time that their wedding would fall on my daughter’s 1st birthday weekend! Needless to say, this wedding has been a special one for me, and this couple has been nothing short of amazing to work with. I cannot wait to celebrate them this weekend!! 🥳

PSA: IT’S ALMOST BABY WEEK! 🤩

A little reminder to our lovely clients, vendors, and friends that Jess will be on maternity leave from July 13-August 15 to soak up all the new baby snuggles with little miss Teaghan Marie. 🤍

This means that Jess will not be responding to emails, texts, DMs, or other forms of communication during this time. If you have questions regarding an upcoming event, please send them our way before Tuesday (7/12).

Thank you so much for understanding. Much love for y’all! 🤍 XO — Jess + Baby T
