In her spare time, she gets her hands dirty updating her 160+ year old farmhouse with her husband and two daughters, loves reading historical fiction (and is a member of three book clubs), trying her green thumb at gardening, and crocheting mostly scarfs and hats.

Jessica Minogue

Event Coordinator

Jessica’s path to event coordination began with her first part-time job, where she would set up and organize corporate events throughout downtown Chicago. With over five years of stage management experience in the city’s vibrant theater scene, she brings a calm, organized presence to every celebration. Her love of museums, art, and exploring new cultures through travel inspires her to help couples infuse their weddings with meaningful personal touches. Whether behind the scenes or exploring a new country, Jessica is always drawn to details that make an experience unforgettable. When she’s not orchestrating event magic, she’s probably seeking out the spiciest dish on the menu or catching a new play around town.
