Jennifer is a native Angeleno. Born and raised in the foothills of La Canada, she now resides in Glendale with her husband of over 20 years, their teenage son, and Moose, their humongous (in personality-only) 16-pound pup. Relationships, experiences, and joyous occasions are Jennifer’s passions. Early on, Jennifer learned that bringing people together could provide the setting for magical moments to happen. Creating extraordinary events that provide a lifetime of memories has fueled Jennifer’s drive ever since.

Jennifer jokes that her career began in college when she and her bestie planned elaborate theme parties. After a brief stint working at Club Med Punta Cana, she spent five years as the Dining Room Manager at Bel Air Country Club. Eager to work more directly with clients on the creative side, Jennifer launched Joie de Vivre as a catering & special event company. As Jennifer began working with more couples, she realized weddings and social events were her true love and she closed the catering side of her business.

Working at a Country Club, planning corporate events, and being a caterer has given Jennifer a comprehensive logistics-based foundation. Planning a seamless event comes with ease to Jennifer, allowing her the flexibility to focus on the design and experiential elements of an event.

Jennifer’s clients often describe her as compassionate and diplomatic, having a calm demeanor and being attentive to every detail. It is reassuring to know that someone is in your court steering you through those last-minute panic attacks. On the day of, should any issues arise, Jennifer will be there to handle them with ease and grace allowing the couple and their families the opportunity to thoroughly enjoy the wedding of their dreams.
