About JCDesigns Weddings & Events LLC

JCDesigns Weddings & Events LLC

Founder & Lead Planner

At JCDesigns, we believe wedding planning should be fun and stress-free. Your engagement should be filled with celebrations of your love with family and friends—not worrying about your to-do list. Our goal is to bring your vision to life on your wedding day by incorporating personal details and unique touches that showcase your love story and express who you are as a couple. Our passion is creating and facilitating the perfect event, where everything looks stunning, runs smoothly, and my couple and their guests not only enjoy themselves to the fullest, but experience something truly special and memorable!

My background is in stage design and for a while I worked as a design associate on Broadway in New York City. I'm used to a fast paced environment, high stakes, and lots of pressure to make things perfect - and that is exactly what I love to do. I always enjoy getting to know you and figuring out just what “perfect wedding” means to you. Planning also offers me the opportunity to put my past experience with design to great use! There are so many design details- big, small, and everything in between- that your wedding is nothing short of a work of art.

In three words: Creative, Organized, Supportive

Service included in starting price

Service available for an extra cost

	Full-service planning	Elopement / microwedding	Partial planning	Day-of coordination / wedding management
Description	This service is for you if you want someone to handle all of the major pieces of the planning process. While you want to be a part of every decision, you’d prefer to leave the heavy lifting to us so you can enjoy your engagement. Our full planning package also comes with curated design services. Full planning is also recommended for any out of town couples.	Not all couples want to have a tented soiree with 300 of their nearest and dearest. Some clients want the “wedding experience” without the guest list and complexities that come with it. If that sounds like you, this service will help you plan the micro wedding of your dreams without sparing any of the details that make your wedding day unforgettable. This is a full planning service, at a reduced rate, for 30 or less guests.	This service is for you if you have some of your vendors hired and most of the big decisions made, but you’d like to hand everything over to someone else to manage moving forward so you can sit back, relax, and prepare to walk down the aisle. This is also recommended if you want to more hands on in the planning process but without the stress of handling everything yourself!	This service is for you if you want to handle the entire planning process yourself, but the thought of worrying about whether the linens arrived wrinkled, or the DJ is on time is not how you want to spend your wedding day. With “Month-Of” you get to enjoy being the bride or groom while letting someone else worry about the details on your day.

An amazing planner - a joy to work with!

As a former event manager I knew that I did NOT want to plan my own wedding. Enter, Jenna Carino, who is THE BEST. From our first phone call to the wedding day, she took care of every detail, most of the time without me knowing about it! As a destination bride, it was super helpful that she had vendor recommendations (and all of them were obsessed with her) and she even came to two of our tastings with us to get to know our vibe! I know how stressful events can be, especially when it's the biggest day of someones life, but Jenna showed absolutely no stress! Everything was taken care of seamlessly. If you think you only want a day-of coordinator, I highly encourage you to hire Jenna for at least the month-of or partial planning. The months leading up to the wedding she took care of SO MANY details, from certificates of insurance, to communicating with vendors, to making sure we had thought of everything (like a getaway car!) We are so thankful for Jenna! She also provided amazing design service with our signage. People always say something goes wrong on the wedding day - well if it did, we didn't know about it because Jenna took care of it without worrying us! THANK YOU Jenna!
Hire Jenna, you will be sad if you don't.

TL;DR: Hire Jenna, you will be sad if you don't. She is the best. Jenna Carino was an absolute pleasure to work with. From the moment we met her, we knew that we were in good hands. i have worked in the wedding industry myself and had extremely high expectations for how I wanted to be supported on my wedding day and Jenna surpassed every single one. Jenna was incredibly helpful throughout the entire wedding planning process, making everything easy and stress-free. She was always available to answer our questions and provide guidance, she helped us with DJ recommendations, design and ultimately delivered the wedding of our dreams! Jenna went above and beyond to ensure that our special day was perfect. Jenna was our favorite person throughout the entire process, and as the bride I was constantly talking about how much I relied on her and loved having her as the person to lean on. I already miss working with her and both of us cannot recommend her highly enough. On our wedding day, we did not worry about a single thing thanks to her. She kept everyone organized, she handled many different personalities with professionalism, kindness, humor and grace. We are so grateful to have had Jenna as our wedding coordinator, and we would give her 10 stars if we could!
BEST EVER Wedding planner!!!

To the best and most helpful wedding planner in San Diego. Jenna really helped me plan my wedding from the ground up. I was a person who never really dreamt about a dream wedding and knew nothing about planning one. Jenna was there holding our hands from day one helping us navigate and create the most magical and memorable night of our lives. From the big decisions of our venue to the minute details of the table settings she brought our dream night to life. If i tried planning this on my own i think i would have given up. She kept the timelines straight and kept us on schedule throughout the whole planning process. Then when it came to the big day she was a boss. Everything went off without a hitch. I would have to say this might be the best wedding we or any of our guests have attended. The love and gratefulness we have for Jenna is unmeasurable. And the team she surrounds herself and vendors she suggested were all top notch and came through better than expected!!
Far exceed expectations

I truly couldn’t have asked for a better wedding coordinator! Jenna’s expertise was evident in every detail of our planning—from managing vendors and creating a seamless timeline to flawlessly executing every detail on the big day. Her organization and communication throughout the process kept me calm and on track during what could have easily been a stressful time. Jenna’s talents go far beyond just coordination too. She has an incredible eye for design and brought my vision of a romantic, candlelit ambiance to life. It was stunning, magical, and even more beautiful than anything I had imagined or seen on Pinterest! Thanks to Jenna, I was able to be fully present and enjoy our wedding day without a single worry. I am beyond grateful for everything she did to make our day perfect.
