What if feeling “tired” came from you and your besties dancing your booties off for 4 hours straight because the live band played all your favorite songs on your ‘must play’ list?
I strive for a low-stress process through a combination of honoring your vision and style, my deep-rooted industry connections, and top-tier client communication.
What if “stressful” just meant that it was hard to choose between all the incredible florists, photographers, and caterers because they all look so good? fest.
What if feeling “overwhelmed” meant visiting a wedding venue that was perfect in every single way to the point where it sent a shiver down your spine and brought tears to your eyes?
When you work with me, planning your wedding feels light and easy – not stressful and overwhelming.
What if your wedding planning process was just as blissful as the actual big day?
industry connection
deep-rooted
I draw on a hand-picked selection of the best wedding vendors in town. From years of working with dozens of different photographers, florists, caterers, entertainers, and other vendors, I have access to the cream of the crop in the wedding industry. I only work with vendors with open hearts who care as much about your wedding as you do.
vision and style
Honoring your
I genuinely listen to your vision on our call, creating a wedding that breathes your character and perfectly pays homage to all your quirks. I don’t shy away from bold, funky weddings with bright colors or weddings with fun themes. Whether you want a traditional pastel wedding, a Star Wars-themed wedding, or a wedding where your dogs are there wearing bowties, I’ll make it happen.
communication
top-tier client
My door is always open to my clients and I’m here for all of your questions. I don’t make decisions in the dark. I include you in correspondence with other vendors and keep you in the loop about the plans and timelines. When you come to me with worried questions and fears, my calm presence keeps you grounded so when wedding day comes, you’re truly relaxed (yes, this is totally possible). There are no dumb questions.

planning services
CREATE
(AKA full-service wedding planning)
Think of it as having your personal wedding architect - translating your ideas into a cohesive, artfully-executed celebration that’s unmistakably you.
If planning isn’t your thing, or you simply don’t have the time to manage a production of this scale, this is your package.
All you have to do is show up, soak it in, and celebrate. I’ll handle the rest.
Investment starts at $8,000
This is your all-in, let’s-make-magic-happen experience. From our very first conversation to your final dance, I’ll be your wedding-day twin flame and behind-the-scenes mastermind, curating every detail with intention and heart.
You’ll share your vision, your story and the feeling you want your guests to walk away with and I’ll take it from there.
From hand-selecting the perfect venue and assembling your dream team of vendors, to refining the design, timeline, and guest experience, I’ll manage every moving part and make sure it all comes together seamlessly.
For the couple who wants it all without having to do it all.
GUIDE
(AKA partial wedding planning)
Think of it as having a wedding-savvy best friend in your back pocket, ready to answer questions, offer honest advice, and step in to finesse the details you’d rather not manage. Together, we’ll make sure your day feels polished, personal, and undeniably you.
If you’re looking for the perfect balance of creative control and professional support, this one’s for you.
priced uniquely
With this package, you get the freedom to dive into the parts of planning you love and the peace of mind knowing you have an expert by your side for the rest.
I’ll step in where you need me most, offering tailored guidance, trusted vendor recommendations, design direction, and access to my online planning tools to keep everything beautifully organized.
For the couple who loves to be hands-on, but knows when to call in a pro.
DIRECT
(AKA month-of wedding coordination or wedding management)
I’ll provide expert suggestions, tie up loose ends, and build a seamless, thoughtful timeline so everything unfolds with ease.
When your big day arrives, I’ll be there as your calm, confident, behind-the-scenes presence — orchestrating the details, managing your vendors, and making sure the only thing you need to focus on is soaking up every moment.
Investment starts at $3,250
This package is designed for those who want to curate their celebration themselves, but recognize the value of handing over the reins when it matters most. You’ll have email access to me and my online planning tools at the ready as you choose your vendors and shape your vision. Now it’s time to bring in a professional to fine-tune the details and flawlessly execute your plans.
About 6-8 weeks before your wedding, we’ll meet in person to review every element, identify any gaps, and refine the logistics.
For the couple who’s expertly planned their dream day, and now wants to experience it, stress-free.
EXPAND
(AKA wedding weekend planning)
My wedding weekend package is for couples who are a little… extra. Turn your wedding into a mini-vacation for your dearest friends and family and make your wedding the gift that keeps on giving. You’ll have the choice to add up to three additional events, turning your wedding into an unforgettable all-weekend blowout affair.
This is the perfect package if a destination wedding feels too grandiose for you but you want some of those epic vibes in your wedding–minus the flights, family head counts, layovers, and travel papers.
For the couple who doesn’t want their wedding to end.
After the ceremony rehearsal you want to host your nearest and dearest for a sweet dinner together before the big day.
WEDDING WEEKEND ADD-ONS:
Investment starts at $9,000

You also have email access to me throughout the planning timeline no matter what level of service you have.

step 04 / the big day
“I literally was not worried about one detail day-of.”
I am so thankful we chose to work with Jen at Altar Ego Weddings! Jen made our day absolutely flawless! She was organized and on top of everything! As an overly anxious person in general, I literally was not worried about one detail day-of. I knew Jen would take care of everything. She was so sweet and kind and I could not have asked for my wedding day to go any better! Whether you need all the help or just the final day of details, Altar Ego Weddings is a must have on your special day!
-Lesley B.
“please consider Altar Ego Weddings and you will not be disappointed.”
If you want to be stress-free on your wedding day - or throughout the entire experience then Jennifer is absolutely your girl! She and I went through some... difficulties with our original vendor team, and before I even had a chance to stress she was presenting me with backup options, reaching out on behalf of my event and ensuring we had the best vendor team possible at every moment. Her planning website is full of incredible resources for you to manage all the moving pieces of planning a wedding and she is extremely responsive for any questions or concerns at any time! I was able to be completely stress & (mostly) decision free all week leading up to my wedding, because I knew that Jennifer and the team had everything under control. If you are looking for someone to be honest, on top of it and ensure your event goes off exactly as planned - please consider Altar Ego Weddings and you will not be disappointed! Thank you Jennifer for everything - we could not have done it without you!!
-Nicole H.
“The wedding was beautiful and the whole family was able to relax.”
We are so grateful for everything Jen did during the planning process for my daughter’s wedding. Jen is the ultimate professional and communicator, has an unbelievable knowledge base of information about wedding venues and vendors, and has developed a comprehensive set of tools to be used throughout the process. We do not live in Austin so having everything available online was so helpful. We could add information or check details from anywhere. There was no stress and no drama on wedding day because Jen had contacted all of the vendors, verified all the details and prepared a timeline that everyone could follow down to the minute. The wedding was beautiful and the whole family was able to relax and enjoy all of the special moments throughout the day and evening.
-Banay, Mother of Maggie N
“No one has the experience and brain power that Jennifer has.”
Altar Ego is without a doubt the best purchase of my whole wedding! Jennifer is professional, wise, has a great attitude and helped me navigate the wedding process with so much grace. There are a lot of wedding planners, but no one has the experience and brainpower that Jennifer has! I’m so thankful for her and her amazing team! After the whole wedding planning process I feel like she knows me and understands me as much as anyone!
-Julie R.
