Hey there! I'm Jessica Mead, owner/lead planner of Events by Jess! I graduated from UW-Stout with a degree in Hospitality Management, with a concentration in Event Management. After college, I worked full time as a Catering Sales Manager while having a part time job as a Wedding Coordinator at the James J. Hill Reference Library. This is where I fell in love with weddings.
After working on weddings every day, I got the idea of creating an Instagram page called Events by Jess. I wanted to show my friends and the world the weddings I had been working on. After a few months of posting, I was getting messages from college friends asking to help plan and coordinate their weddings. I charged very little at first, but as more and more inquiries came in, I realized I needed to make EBJ an official business.
Since I started planning and designing events, I have never looked back. I love what I do and I can't imagine doing anything else. Creating lifelong memories for clients is what I do best. I fully invest myself into every wedding I do. I focus on every detail, making sure that your wedding is a one of a kind experience that becomes a cherished memory for a lifetime.
My favorite part of owning my own business is connecting with my couples, not just as clients, but as friends. I create relationships with all of my couples so I am able to understand their vision and make their dream wedding a reality.
My clients describe me as having a warm & bubbly personality, and I'm known for being organized, efficient, and to the point. I love anything & everything wedding related, and I am here to make the wedding planning process fun and stress free!
Jess Meuwissen
Hey there! I’m the “other Jess” at EBJ.
Before stepping into weddings, I spent nine years as an elementary music teacher. That experience shaped so much of how I show up on a wedding day — staying calm under pressure, keeping things organized, and managing a lot of moving pieces (and personalities!) at once.
After experiencing how incredible it was to have an amazing coordinator (Jess!!!) at my own wedding,, I knew this was something I wanted to do for other couples. Being able to step in, handle all the behind-the-scenes details, and allow couples to fully relax and enjoy their day is such a gift — and it’s what I love most about what I do.
My approach is all about creating a smooth, stress-free experience from start to finish. I’m detail-oriented and organized, but also flexible and quick to adapt when things shift (because they always do!). I bring a calm, steady presence when things feel busy, and a little extra energy and excitement when it’s time to celebrate.
When I’m not coordinating weddings, you can find me spending time with friends, being a mom, or planning our next trip somewhere new — I love having something to look forward to!
Furry Friends
....And I can't forget about Co-Owner's Louie, Bella & Nala! They are the heart and soul of Events by Jess, and are the best sidekicks a girl could ask for. We absolutely love when our couples include their furry friends in their wedding. It makes for the cutest photos!! You may even be lucky enough to meet them at a planning meeting.
