It’s engagement season! Which means now is the time to lock in your main vendors if you haven’t yet, as the new wave of engaged couples will be inquiring here soon as well (and some already are!). We suggest reserving these vendors first:
-Venue
-Photo and Video
-Catering
-Floral

If you’re still ISO a planner for your 2025 wedding, we have Spring, Fall and Winter availability still!

If you’re still ISO a venue, Vernonia Springs pictured here still has 2025 availability as well!

My cousin got her wedding album back from the talented and shared this photo, so I figured this was a great time to do a little introduction post!

My name is Jessica and I am the owner and lead planner of Under the Veil. We are an event planning company based in NW Oregon. Some fun facts about me!
*Ive been in the industry for 10 years. I’ve worked 100s of weddings and attended 2 weddings that I was also a bridesmaid in and part planner/contact person. But my cousins wedding where this photo was taken was the first I’ve gotten to attend and enjoy fully as a guest 😍 It was so fun to be on the other side!
*I love to dress up but am really a small town PNW girl. Give me a hoodie, boots and jeans and throw me in the woods (which is actually what I’m wearing and where I’m at right now lol).
*I have 7 siblings! Big family, lots of cousins and nieces and nephews.
*My senior project was shadowing a wedding planner. That’s where my love for events began and I jumped right in after I graduated high school!

✨Kind words from Clients✨

“Jessica and her team were great to work with! Her years of experience in different areas of the wedding business’ make her uniquely qualified to be a coordinator. She understands each role, expectations and how everyone can come together to pull off a successful event. She is a kind and calm leader. These attributes carry into the event to have it go off with ease. We appreciated her willingness to provide us with advice, answer all our questions and lead the day with a calmness that allowed us to enjoy the day rather than focus on what may be going on behind the scenes to put the event on. My family all enjoyed working with her.”

I LOVE flatlay photos and always save 2-3 from every album I get. It doesn’t make much sense to post them on a catering page or venue page though… but my planning Insta? Heck yes 😉 Did you know that flatlay styling is something we can help with day of? Your photographer and I can chat about when detail photos will get captured and what makes the most sense, but we’ll help to make sure you get those items captured! 🥰

Quick Tip: Put all of your paper items, ring box, etc that you want your photographer to capture in a flatlay into 1 small box. This will make it easy to transport and hand over.

I grew up in a little logging town in the Oregon Coastal range. While I may not live there anymore (but hopefully sometime soon) I go back to visit as often as I can. My family still lives there and I recently took over the ballet program there! I also happen to be typing this while sitting at the Vernonia park with my kids 🥰

One of my favorite venues, Vernonia Springs, is there too and we always enjoy getting to coordinate weddings there. It’s been a favorite of ours since we first saw it in 2019 (well, saw it as a venue. We first saw it as kids as a u catch fishing place) and can’t wait for the chance to go back soon!

So, if you’re planning your wedding at Vernonia Springs, keep us in mind 😉💚

We love our couples 💚 Thank you for the kind words, Jennie! Reviews and photos are the best “tip” in my opinion, and this sweet couple gave us both.

“Jessica was an excellent day of coordinator! She answered so many questions quickly throughout the process and her expertise showed. She made the day seamless and went above and beyond with the set up, timeline, and breakdown. As a bride I was able to enjoy every minute of the ceremony and reception knowing she had it under control! Cannot recommend her enough!!”

Hi friends! Long time no talk... seriously. My last post was October 2022 😅 Under the Veil chose not to actively advertise for 2023 and instead just coordinated a handful of weddings for people that had directly reached out that year (all word of mouth via friends and other vendors type of thing). For 2024, we decided to take a full pause to reset and refresh.

Wondering what I have been up to in that time?
-In March 2022 I left Elephants/Leftbank and took a new position at Reedville Catering in Hillsboro, where I am now the sales manager. In January of 2023 Reedville got the opportunity to take over management of Jenkins Estate in Beaverton which I have taken the lead on.
-In September 2022 I started assistant teaching with Vernonia Ballet and as of July 2024, I am now the owner and lead teacher of Vernonia Ballet! So that is an exciting chapter that is starting.
-April 2023 I started filling in as house-manager at Leftbank as needed. So you may see me there too!
-My kiddos are big now! My son will be starting first grade next month and my daughter just turned 3. My partner also has a kiddo that is between mine in age, so we have a full house at home!

I am SO excited to bring Under the Veil back to life and offer services for 2025-2026 couples. I have been in the industry for 10 years now and while some days are long (and feel even longer in the middle of peak season) I love it more every day.

So! If you’re looking for a planner for your upcoming event, feel free to reach out. We’d be happy to chat.
