Hi there! My name is Jessica, and I’m so happy you’re here!

My journey into the world of celebrations started long before Party Jess became a reality. For years, I was the go-to hostess and party planner for family and friends, always finding joy in creating unforgettable moments. What started as a passion for planning showers, birthdays, and dinner parties soon grew into a full-fledged business—because, as they say, do what you love, and you’ll never work a day in your life!

My love for events eventually led me to another creative passion—candle making. I’ve always believed that ambiance is key to any great gathering, and nothing sets the mood quite like the perfect candle. That’s how Glow and Gather by Party Jess was born—blending my expertise in event planning with the artistry of handcrafted candles. Now, I get to share this passion through interactive candle-making experiences where you can create, customize, and have fun!

Whether you’re planning an event or looking for a unique way to get creative, I’d love to be a part of your next unforgettable experience. Let’s glow and gather together!
