about Jackrabbit Weddings
I don't think every couple needs a wedding planner.
I do think every couple deserves access to honest, experienced advice.
After more than fifteen years working across nearly every corner of the wedding industry—from restaurants and catering to floral design, wedding gowns, venue management, planning, and event directing—I've learned something surprising.
The couples planning their own weddings often need professional guidance the most.
I've worked on intimate ceremonies in the woods. I've coordinated luxury weddings with budgets most people can't imagine. And I've come to the same conclusion every time.
A meaningful wedding isn't created by spending more. It's created by making thoughtful decisions.
When the world took a pause, I had the chance to do some thoughtful imagnings of my own. I began to rethink what I wanted my own role to be.
I realized I didn't want to plan bigger weddings. I wanted to help couples plan better ones.
That's why I created Jackrabbit Weddings.
To help modern couples untangle the details, solve problems, and move forward with confidence and start their new life together with intention and meaning.
about rita
I grew up in the hospitality industry in nearly every form. Once I found weddings I never looked back.
During the shutdown, I spent time thinking about how I felt about the current practices and trends of the wedding industry and how it matched with my commitment to meaning, sustainability and who was and was not been served. Pacing around and talking it out with my Great Dane, Jack, (she’s the Jack and I’m the Rabbit) my concept was born.
I've spent my career working behind the scenes of weddings. Jackrabbit is the first time I've stepped out front to share what I've learned.
