About Jacqueline Jasinski | CEO & Lead Coordinator
I’ve always believed weddings are more than events — they are love stories that deserve to be celebrated with intention, elegance, and joy. As the founder of Elegant Essence Bridal Services, my passion is ensuring every couple I work with feels fully present on their wedding day, knowing that every detail is being handled with care.
Before stepping into the wedding world, I built a strong professional foundation working in the legal industry. That background gave me a deep respect for organization, attention to detail, and clear communication — all qualities that now allow me to seamlessly manage the complex flow of a wedding day. I am also a Certified Notary Public in the State of Illinois, offering couples additional peace of mind when it comes to important documentation.
I’m passionate about what I do and believe in a direct approach, always leading with intention and a smile. My couples know they can count on me for honesty, guidance, and grace every step of the way.
At Elegant Essence Bridal Services, my mission is simple: to blend professionalism and warmth, structure and creativity, so that every wedding I touch becomes an effortless, timeless memory.
When I am not tending to clients and coordinating weddings -
I am passionate about:
· Quality time with family & friends
· Self development
· Attending a hot Pilates, barre or yoga class
· Going on new adventures with my pup
· Getting lost in a good book
· Stirring up a new recipe
· Enjoying a spontaneous trip
