In the world of wedding planning, where each detail whispers a story and every moment is a heartbeat, Jacin Fitzgerald emerges as the conductor of dreams. Her brand, Jacin Fitzgerald Events, is synonymous with the art of transforming visions into tangible memories, meticulously crafting weddings that resonate with the harmony of personal touch and elegance. Through her journey, Jacin has not only established herself among the world's elite planners but has also redefined the essence of luxury and intentionality in weddings. Here, we delve into the story of Jacin Fitzgerald, exploring the depth of her passion, the foundation of her philosophy, and the legacy she aims to leave in the hearts of those she touches.
“I booked my first wedding with a Craigslist ad in 2007, but I got my start in the events industry working for a seaside event venue in 2003,” Jacin recalls, reflecting on the serendipitous beginnings of her illustrious career. Her journey from a seaside venue to the establishment of her own company in London in 2009 is a testament to her dedication, creativity, and relentless pursuit of excellence. “I am a self-proclaimed ‘laid-back type A’ and thrive under pressure. I work diligently to make sure our clients, team, vendor partners, and anyone in my presence feel taken care of, appreciated, and welcomed.”
“For me, the relationships we build with our clients are the core of wedding planning. Weddings are such emotional events, and we're the butterfly on the wall for the most special moments. We adore every one of our clients and stay in touch long after the big day has come and gone,” Jacin shares, her voice imbued with the warmth and genuine affection she holds for each couple she works with. This deep connection forms the cornerstone of her philosophy, which eschews pretentiousness for authenticity and inclusivity. “Pretentious is our least favorite word. We believe a luxurious event doesn't have to be stuffy, and an exclusive can be inclusive.”
“We focus on destination events — a favorite at the moment is Château de Tourreau in Sarrians, France.”
Jacin Fitzgerald Events stands out not only for its bespoke planning and design but also for its commitment to creating custom experiences tailored to each couple's unique narrative. “We do not offer any packages. We offer full-service planning and design,” Jacin explains, highlighting her holistic approach to wedding planning. This dedication to personalized service is what enables her and her team to orchestrate weddings that are not just events but lifelong memories.
Weather and unforeseen circumstances are the unforeseeable notes in the symphony of wedding planning. Jacin recounts, “We've dealt with hurricanes, had a 5.1 earthquake, floods, power outages — you name it.” Yet, it is her calm demeanor and ability to remain composed under pressure that has defined her success in the face of adversity. “It's all about how you handle yourself and compose yourself under pressure — we believe energy is contagious.”
When asked about her advice for couples embarking on their wedding planning journey, Jacin emphasizes trust and intuition. “Go. With. Your. Gut. In everything,” she advises, urging couples to stay true to their instincts, especially when selecting their wedding planner. This guidance reflects her belief in the importance of a harmonious partnership between the planner and the couple, ensuring a journey that is not only smooth but also deeply fulfilling.
While Jacin doesn't pin her dreams on any single venue, her ideal setting prioritizes organization, hospitality, and exceptional culinary experiences. “We don't have dream venues per se, but we do have prerequisites for what makes our dream venues,” she clarifies, underscoring her focus on quality and experience over mere aesthetics.
As Jacin Fitzgerald continues to weave her magic in the realm of wedding planning, her legacy is one of love, elegance, and unforgettable experiences. Through her dedication to her clients, her innovative approach to planning, and her unwavering commitment to excellence, Jacin Fitzgerald Events remains a beacon of hope, beauty, and inspiration for couples around the world. She orchestrates weddings that are not just celebrations, but a symphony of emotions, memories, and dreams come true.
