Soulful Gatherings

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.

Each Art & Soul Events celebration 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 experience.

Yes! We can help you plan an immersive multi-day wedding experience for your favorite people to enjoy. Let us help you plan your rehearsal, welcome party, wedding, and farewell party!

We limit the number of events we take on per year to ensure the consistency and quality of our work. Jessica will oversee the design and management of each one.

We no longer offer coordination or partial planning. We offer full-service wedding planning and design because we prefer to be involved in the early phases of the planning process (before the creative team has been hired) to deliver events to our standard of excellence.

Yes! We are destination wedding planners based in Los Angeles. Our weddings take us on adventures throughout Southern California and the Central Coast. You'll find us planning and designing weddings in Ojai, Joshua Tree, Big Sur, Lake Tahoe, Palm Springs, Santa Barbara, Santa Ynez, Santa Cruz, San Francisco, Yosemite, the Sequoias, Nevada City, Utah, and beyond. Travel fees will be assessed, as applicable, for event travel and scouting/planning visits.

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!

“The glue that held together every aspect of our wedding!
