    Meet Justice, your calm in the wedding day chaos

    Hey there, I’m Justice, the heart behind Simply Jay Co, a wedding planner and day-of coordinator serving couples across the Sauk Valley, Quad Cities, and Chicago.

    Before stepping into planning, I spent years behind the camera as a wedding photographer, documenting countless love stories. Somewhere between fluffing dresses, fixing boutonnieres, and reworking timelines, I realized what I loved most wasn’t just capturing the day, it was making sure everything ran beautifully behind the scenes.

    Now, I help couples plan weddings that feel organized, effortless, and true to them. I believe your wedding day should be full of laughter, connection, and calm not chaos. My job is to handle the details so you can be fully present for every single moment.

    My approach

    I blend creativity with logistics, part best friend, part timeline wizard. Whether I’m designing your full wedding experience or managing the flow of your day, I’m all about creating stress-free, heartfelt celebrations that let your personalities shine.

    A few fun facts

    ☕ Coffee is my love language.
    📍 I’m based in Sterling, Illinois and travel between the Sauk Valley, Quad Cities, and Chicago.
    🎥 My background in photography gives me an eye for detail.
    💌 My couples always say I’m calm, communicative, and make the process so easy.

    When I’m not planning weddings, you’ll usually find me dancing in my kitchen to Frank Sinatra, dreaming up new ways to bring my couples’ visions to life, or spending time outdoors chasing my kiddos around.

    Let’s plan your day, simply.

    Because your wedding should feel as beautiful as it looks and that’s exactly what I’m here for.
