Today we’d like to introduce you to Jessica Bencomo.
Thanks for sharing your story with us Jessica. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there.
I have always had a love for event planning. I love parties, I love the memories we make with loved ones at special events. I have always been that mom that goes a little over the top for her kid’s birthday parties. I planned my own wedding and I absolutely loved it. I think what I loved the most about it was having so many of my loved ones in the same room at once. I had family fly in from Florida, Venezuela, and France. My husband’s family flew down from Michigan.
I am also a flight attendant for a major US carrier. When I was out on maternity leave with my middle child I wondered if I would be able to return to flying. I started thinking of what else I could do, that I could possibly love as much as flying. The one thing that kept coming up in my mind was wedding and event planning. I love seeing two people coming together as one, surrounded by their loved ones. I knew I wanted to help as many people as I could create the best memories with their loved ones.
Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It hasn’t always been smooth. I have been blessed in many different ways. However, the wedding industry is a hard one. Many times inexperienced competitors will underbid you and it can get discouraging. I originally started this business with the hope that it would grow large enough to where I could bring my mom to work with me. However, her health has been on a steady decline as of lately and it is hard to watch my business grow and know that she may not be a part of it.
Alright – so let’s talk business. Tell us about Jessica Bencomo Events – what should we know?
My business is Jessica Bencomo Events. I am a wedding and event planner in the Atlanta and North Georgia area. I am known for going above and beyond for my clients. I am proud of the fact that every single client I have worked for has become more than just a client. I truly try to bond with my clients. I try to listen to them and what their needs and wants are. I tell all my clients that I have planned plenty of events for myself. I want to plan THEIRS. I try to really listen to what is important to them and I try to bring their visions to life.
I believe in creating memories and experiences. I always keep this quote in mind when planning events:
“At the end of the day people won’t remember what you said or did, they will remember how you made them feel.”
― Maya Angelou
Therefore I try to create the best experiences for my clients. I want everyone to feel surrounded by love and happiness on their special day.
Is there a characteristic or quality that you feel is essential to success?
Passion- I live and breathe weddings. I love what I do. Because I love what I do so much I pour my heart and soul into my events. There is no do-over when a bride walks down the aisle. We have one chance to get it right, therefore I give my all to everything that I do.
