Jessica’s film school roots add depth and character to how we plan weddings and celebrations. With a background in cinema and television production, Jessica learned how to lead and support collaborative creative teams and manage complex productions.
Each Art & Soul Events wedding is an immersive experience that blends intentional design, curated music, delicious cuisine, experiential entertainment, bold florals, soulful photography, lively dancing, and joyful opportunities for connection.
We believe the most extraordinary moments are the ones that make us feel alive. We understand that these lightning-in-a-bottle moments are rare and powerful, shaping memories that live on long after the celebration ends.
With a uniquely cinematic design aesthetic, we will surprise and delight the senses and immerse your guests in your once-in-a-lifetime wedding experience.

Yes, absolutely. We specialize in designing immersive multi-day wedding experiences that feel intentional, unforgettable, and deeply personal. From your welcome party and rehearsal dinner to your wedding day and farewell brunch, we will help you plan every moment with creativity, care, and seamless execution so your favorite people can celebrate, connect, and revel in the magic all weekend long.
Yes. Many of our clients work with us across multiple events, from the engagement party and bachelorette weekend to the full wedding weekend. By the time the big day arrives, we have built a strong relationship not just with our couple, but with their families and close friends. This deeper connection allows us to create events that feel personal, thoughtful, and truly reflective of the people at the center of it all.
We intentionally take on a limited number of weddings and events each year to provide a highly personalized planning experience. This allows us to dedicate the time, care, and creative energy each celebration deserves. Jessica is personally involved in the design and management of every event, ensuring consistency, attention to detail, and a collaborative process that feels deeply supportive from start to finish.
We no longer offer coordination or partial planning services. Our approach is rooted in full-service planning and design, beginning in the earliest stages of the process, before any creative partners are brought on. This allows us to align the vision, assemble the ideal team, and guide our clients through a highly personalized planning experience. From curated design development to seamless logistics, we integrate our clients into our advanced planning systems and produce immersive, high-touch events with precision, artistry, and intention.
Yes. We are destination wedding planners based in Los Angeles, and many of our couples host their weddings in stunning locations throughout California and beyond. Some of our favorite California wedding destinations include Ojai, Santa Barbara, Santa Ynez, Big Sur, Palm Springs, Joshua Tree, Lake Tahoe, Napa Valley, San Francisco, Yosemite, and Santa Cruz.
We have also had the honor of planning a multi-day wedding at Amangiri in Utah and are currently welcoming destination wedding inquiries in Mexico, especially Cabo San Lucas (where we have enjoyed many holidays). If you’re searching for breathtaking wedding venues and want a planning partner who can bring your vision to life in any location, we would love to connect.

Jessica brings so much care, expertise, thoughtfulness, warmth, and love into what she does. On a personal level, she will bring you authenticity, realness, tender conversations, and dream big with you. She is excited and fueled by the weddings she creates and will be your partner every step of the way.”
“She made me a believer in the specialness of weddings...
Bryanna
After being engaged for almost a year, while 6 months pregnant, my husband and I suddenly decided we were ready to tie the knot...fast. I wanted a full-blown estate wedding, 3 day weekend extravaganza. Within 2 weeks we landed my DREAM venue leaving us 6 weeks to
plan everything. Jessica went above and beyond in the delivery. Jessica set a new standard for my life. My standards for who I work with in anything... have risen exponentially. I didn't even know it was possible to feel so supported.
“6 weeks to create the dream
Shavon
I could write a dissertation about why Jessica Carrillo was the perfect planner for us. We asked her to plan us a walking ceremony in a beautiful garden to include 6 different altar/ activity stations and live music. We wanted to be surprised and left the design and logistics up to her. She took our unique ceremony vision, and she brought it to life. I appreciated
the way she communicates, her passion, and her style.”
“Attentive, Artistic, Authentic Planner
MaRgaret
Jessica was a dream come true, and creatively sourced everything we wanted. I never could have managed without her. Her relationships with all the professionals run deep, and she was able to find the exact people who could carry out my daughter's vision. I found it remarkable how Jessica helped my daughter create the story of her wedding, without imposing. The wedding was PERFECT and totally reflected the creative spirit of our beautiful couple.”
“Could not have been happier!
Alex
Jessica exceeded in all respects. Every phase of the planning and execution was flawless. From ideation and design, to planning the 3-day guest experience, to sweating the details (hello napkin colors), to running the show expertly on the day(s) of the event. Flawless! The wedding was everything we wanted it to be and more and it wouldn't have been possible without Jessica. Cannot recommend highly enough.”
“Flawless in every respect
Stephanie
I think what makes you special is the way you make your clients feel. I love that you feel like you’re a bestie that planned our wedding/elopement. You truly make a difference on one of the most important days of our lives. I think it speaks volumes how wonderful you make us feel and your magical energy! I wish I could bottle it up and save it for when I’m feeling low!”
“I love that I feel like you’re a bestie
Julie
I worried about nothing on the day of my wedding and everything was pure perfection. She was amazing throughout the planning process and became such a support in that busy time. I have nothing but amazing things to say about Jessica!”
“The most amazing wedding planner you could ever imagine.
Calvin
Jessica was a dream-come-true planner. She brought a ton of experience, guidance, and connections that helped us create a wonderful wedding, and was on top of ever. single. detail. Our day came together seamlessly and beautifully, and she was behind the curtain pulling together every piece of the day. We did not worry about a single thing. And she is a wonderful person. We were so grateful to have worked with her!
