Jenny is the human behind Stargazed Weddings and Events. With a lifelong dedication to the arts shaping her perspective, Jenny infuses each wedding she plans with warmth, color, and a touch of magic.
Jenny discovered her vocation for event planning through her love of music. Jenny's mother, an elementary music teacher, organist, and piano teacher, surrounded Jenny with classical music from the very beginning, instilling in her a deep appreciation for the arts. After completing a degree in Voice Performance at Penn State, Jenny followed her passion into the nonprofit world, to share her love of music with others. She spent ten years working for acclaimed music-producing organizations, including the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra and the Aspen Music Festival and School. During that time, Jenny planned and fundraised for major galas and intimate donor events, always incorporating a musical component. It was during her time with the Aspen Music Festival and School that Jenny discovered a new passion for wedding planning, forged through connections with other creative talents in the area.
As a star-gazer, a Cancer, and an Enneagram 2, Jenny's empathetic nature ensures that couples enjoy not only expertly crafted events but also a close and meaningful relationship with their planner throughout the planning process.

In the same way we build an experience unique to you, we strive to create a one-of-a-kind visual experience too. We're not interested in replicating what we see on Pinterest. We collaborate with you and your vendors to create something completely new and exciting, for a totally WOW-worthy experience.
We know you have high standards, and a decade of working in Aspen has ensured that we do too! We select from among the most talented vendors to get the best results. Our attention to detail and our extensive experience working in the Aspen area make us experts in our field. We take a limited number of weddings each year to guarantee the highest quality.
Our magic lies in bringing together the right combination of vendors and creating the ideal conditions for them to do their absolute best work. You won't hear many planners asking vendors "How can I make your job easier?" but it's important to us that they have all the resources they need to succeed.
When we design and plan your wedding or event, we're not thinking about getting it published in Vogue (unless that's something you want!) or impressing other vendors on Instagram. We are 100% focused on what's important to YOU.
We live and work in the mountains year round, making us experts at all things Aspen. We’ve also had the pleasure of producing weddings at your venue before, so we're familiar with the tricks and pitfalls!
There are very few “shoulds” at Stargazed Weddings! We say honor tradition when it feels right, and throw out the rest of the expectations! You and your partner can invent your own traditions! We'll support you in creating a day that feels authentic to you.
We nerd out on the logistics. When it comes to complex weddings, and especially tented weddingsr, logistics and load-ins are puzzles we can’t wait to solve!
01
beauty in all its forms
Whether I'm sketching with charcoals, admiring the local view of Mt. Sopris, or styling flatlays to capture a couple's gorgeous details, I appreciate beauty wherever I find it.
02
guilty pleasureS
Silly comedies like Anchorman, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, The Good Place, The Detroiters, Schitt's Creek, What We Do in the Shadows...
...And singing musical theater at the top of my lungs.
03
my favorite people
Easy. My niece and nephew who live in D.C.
04
Food + BEV
IPA all dayyy! Or a mezcal cocktail. Recently, I've started exploring NA spirits and beers. (We love mocktails and NA options at weddings!) As for food, just about anything my mom cooks.
05
Part of the wedding day
The first dance. I rarely cry during vows, but I've been known to sob my way through a first dance. What can I say? Music and lyrics move me.
Do I have to pick just one? First, design: creating an environment that reflects a couple's style with sophistication, texture, color, and great details—something I couldn't do without Number Two... Getting to know my couples and what makes them special.
