Hi, I'm Jess

I love nothing more than helping couples with their wedding planning

My mission

To take the stress out of wedding planning, giving couples the clarity, tools, and support they need to create a celebration that truly reflects their love story

I love love!

With over 20 years of experience in the wedding industry, I’ve had the privilege of planning and designing unforgettable celebrations as the founder of Ardour & Bow Weddings & Events, from intimate gatherings to spectacular events at venues like Hampton Court Palace and the V&A Museum in London. I know exactly what it takes to create a seamless, beautiful wedding—and now I’m sharing that expertise through Simply Wed. With my insider knowledge, proven planning strategies, and creative inspiration, you’ll have everything you need to plan your ideal day with confidence, ease, and joy.

Let's have some fun!

I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside so many wonderful couples, guiding them through every detail, big and small. Over time, I’ve learned that wedding planning doesn’t have to be stressful—it can actually be joyful and exciting when you have the right support. That’s why I created Simply Wed: to share my experience, tips, and creative ideas with you, so you can plan your perfect day with confidence and ease… and actually enjoy the journey

"Working with Jess has helped me enjoy planning my own wedding"

Jen, Bride

You should know...

  1. In my free time I love to watch reality dating shows - Married at First Sight Australia and Love is Blind are my favs.
  2. I’m a hopeless romantic – I still tear up when listening to the speeches about how couples met and plan to spend their life together (even after hundreds of weddings!).
  3. I love travelling and my favourite long haul destination is Rio and if I was planning a destination wedding it would probably be in Ravello, Italy.
  4. I'm a perfectionist and I can spot a crooked chair from across the room and won't rest until every napkin fold is picture-perfect.
  5. My perfect day off? A countryside walk with my family, a hot coffee, and a cosy movie watching something like Father of the Bride.
