We bring clarity to the process and calm to the room.
The people. The meaning. The memories in the making.
Nothing overdone but everything considered.
Compassionate Listeners. Creative Thinkers.
Her career began in Atlanta under one of the South’s top luxury planners, where she refined her craft, built lasting creative relationships, and fell in love with the energy of event design. Over the past decade, she’s designed and produced weddings across the country, quickly establishing a reputation for her collaborative spirit, discerning eye, and devotion to her couples and their families.
She lives in St. Louis with her husband, Nic, and their four greatest accomplishments: Charleston, Hattie, Everett, and Teddy. When she’s not deep in floor plans or fabric swatches, you’ll likely find her planning her next family trip or gathering friends around a long, candlelit table.
Raised in a home that cherished tradition and hospitality, Jill was captivated early on by joyful gatherings and the beauty of a well-set table. A willing hostess-in-training, she eagerly took on any task her mother assigned—hanging paper chain garlands, arranging place settings, or preparing Geraldine’s famous punch. From the start, she understood that the most memorable events are built on care, creativity, and a deep sense of welcome.
Celebrations captured Jill’s imagination from an early age.
About Jill
When she’s not at her desk or on-site, you’ll likely find her curled up with a book, finishing a puzzle, or elbows-deep in an embroidery project. Her style, like her work, is unpretentious, intentional, and shaped by a life fully lived.
Frannie has always had an eye for the details most people miss, drawn to systems, structure, and the quiet satisfaction of everything falling into place. After studying anthropology and philosophy, she found her way into weddings by way of the bridal industry, drawn to the challenge of managing something both logistical and deeply human. At Jill Perez Events, she’s the quiet force who brings calm to the process and clarity to the details. Her steady presence and thoughtful approach help clients feel supported through every phase - tuning into the unspoken, and tending to the moments that matter most, even when they're not on the timeline.

MEET THE TEAM
She finds inspiration in the quiet marks of a well-run event—a beautifully designed welcome note, a guest who feels cared for, a room that simply flows. Outside of events, Grace keeps her creativity alive through arts and crafts, nonprofit work, and a steady rotation of hot pilates and new restaurants.
Grace came to events by way of client experience, where she learned that small gestures, handled with care, have the power to shape how people feel - and, more importantly, what they remember. Guided by a genuine care for people and an instinct for thoughtful logistics, she supports each event by managing everything from RSVPs and transportation to the small, meaningful touches that shape how a celebration feels. Known for her quick thinking and calm demeanor, she’s affectionately called the team’s Mary Poppins - always pulling the perfect fix from her event-day bag, just when it’s needed most.
Hospitality Coordinator
Grace
We believe the planning process should be joyful - marked by laughter, little surprises, and moments of connection that happen when you’re working with people who genuinely care. We stay calm in the chaos, keep things moving, and never take ourselves too seriously. Because kindness, flexibility, and just the right amount of fun make all the difference.
Because a great party starts with great energy
