A quote I live by:  “No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted." - Aesop, from The Lion and the Mouse

Best advice I ever received:  “Look at all you've been blessed with -- you can afford to be kind."

Seven words that describe me:  Humble, driven, sensitive, compassionate, honest, nurturing, silly.

Something that no one would guess by looking at me:  I'm into roller derby and tattoo art.

"As a former wedding planner and catering manager, I've always loved special events, especially working with my clients to create a spectacular celebration.   Starting this company with my husband, Evan, has been the most fulfilling thing I've ever done in my professional life.  It's been a fantastic adventure creating a business that truly represents who we are and provides such a wonderful experience for the couples who book us.  To say I feel lucky would be a tremendous understatement."

 *Note: Jennifer is the co-owner of MyDeejay and is not a DJ -- although we're sure she would be fabulous at it if she chose to give it a try.  However, if you contact us about our disc jockeys, you'll most likely hear from her first.  Ask her for advice, she knows everything about weddings!
