Behind the Celebrations
Hello, I’m Jeanette Carter
With 8+ years of experience in the wedding and event industry, I’ve had the privilege of bringing countless celebrations to life. I’m passionate about creating thoughtful, beautifully curated experiences that reflect each client’s unique story and vision!
I believe exceptional events are built on meaningful relationships, intentional details, and a seamless planning experience. From intimate gatherings to grand celebrations, my goal is to ensure every moment feels effortless, memorable, and authentically you.
Outside of work, I love to travel, discover new restaurants, exploring more of Kansas City, and spending quality time with friends and family. You’ll also find me enjoying life at a local coffee shop or with my golden retriever, Jett! Whether I’m exploring somewhere new or enjoying the simple things, I believe life’s best memories are made through meaningful experiences and the people we share them with!
My Approach
I Love the Moment When
Everything Comes Together.
There is something special about standing back for a moment and watching the room fill with the people you love.
For me, planning is about more than timelines, logistics, and beautiful details. It is about creating an environment where people can be fully present, where the day feels natural, considered, and unmistakably yours.
The best celebrations do not just look beautiful. They feel good to be in.
A Little More Personal
When I’m Not Planning Weddings…
You can usually find me checking out a coffee shop, adding another pair of statement earrings to my collection, planning my next trip, or spending time with my golden retriever, Jett.
I love Kansas City, volleyball, a really good party, and the kind of small details that make an ordinary day feel a little more special.

Genuine Care.
Wedding planning does not need to feel overwhelming. Jeanette brings experience, organization, and a steady presence to every celebration, meeting each couple where they are and helping them move through the process with clarity and confidence.
Whether you need full planning, coordination, or thoughtful support somewhere in between, the goal is the same: for you to feel cared for, fully supported, and able to enjoy the season you are in.
