Redefining LUXURY...the Touch of Jewel EXPERIENCE ✨

At Touch of Jewel, we’re on a mission to redefine what luxury means in the world of weddings and events.

Contrary to popular belief, luxury isn’t just about white and gold color palettes, crystal chandeliers, or large guest lists. It’s not confined to ballrooms or restricted to certain traditions.

True luxury, we believe, is defined by YOU as a couple.

Luxury is personal. It’s intimate. It’s a reflection of your unique love story and the experience you want to create for yourselves and your guests.

Whether it’s an intimate gathering of 10 or a grand celebration of 200 in a historic venue, luxury is about creating moments that take your breath away.

Our TOJ couples understand that luxury is an investment in memories. They typically dedicate an average of $1000 to $1500 or more per guest to craft a truly luxurious experience.

But remember, it’s not just about the price tag - it’s about how every dollar is spent to bring your vision to life.

We believe luxury is in the details. It’s in the personalized touches that make your guests feel cherished.

It’s the seamless flow of your day that allows you to be fully present.

It’s in the moments that leave you and your guests in awe.

Remember, luxury isn’t about fitting into a mold - it’s about breaking it.

It’s about creating a celebration that authentically represents your love story, regardless of size or style.

So, we ask you.. what does luxury mean to you? How would you define your dream luxury wedding experience?💎
