Hello!

Welcome to my little corner of helping folks plan their weddings in The Gorge! If you’ve found this website all on your own, I’d like to introduce myself!

 

My name is Jen Jones and I’ve been an entrepreneur in the wedding industry for 15 years. A photographer by trade and Photo Booth owner by fate, I am now also the event manager at one of my all-time favorite wedding venues — Mt Hood Organic Farms.

As a wedding day vendor at the farm for the past decade, I’ve formed meaningful working relationships with the team and was given the opportunity to step into this position in early 2023. I’m not by any means a full service wedding planner, but after witnessing several hundred weddings, mentoring my DIY photo clients and planning my own destination wedding, I feel confident that I know a thing or two about how to best assist in the planning for a fabulous wedding day.

 
 
 

In addition to event management at MHOF, I photograph a very limited number of weddings during the Summer months and manage The FotoBus Co — it’s busy! Fortunately, over the years I’ve built an incredible team to help support making all of these dreams a reality.

At Gorge Wedding Concierge, we’ve created a platform to host some helpful resources and tips that I’ve been supplying my clients and friends with over the years. The goal with this company is to be a great support to anyone who’s getting married in the area — as well as an incredible referral guide for the 5 star vendors I lovingly refer to as my “friendors”. I wholeheartedly believe that when you hire a team of independent hard working folks that collaborate on the regular, what you get is a “Wedding Dream Team!” :)

If you are a Mt Hood Organic client, you automatically gain access to our VIP planning portal. This special access site is chock full of information that will help assist and guide you through planning your wedding at the farm. If you are not a MHOF client, there are still amazing resources to support your planning process! From my Gorge Wedding Guide (Free!), our a la cart coordination offerings and my Beyond the Day ($49) - which will save you a TON of time looking for accommodations, places to host your rehearsal dinner, fun activities for your out of town guests and more!

 
 

In addition to my focus on all things Gorge Summer Weddings, I am often traveling to warmer climates in the off-season, chasing summer and shooting destination weddings in Todos Santos, Baja, Florida, California and abroad. I am a full-time wifey to my partner of 12 years and adoring Dog Mom to our two rescue floofs! I am an ocean and animal LOVER, gatherer of friends on the regular, amateur gardener, good food and music enthusiast and traveler at heart. I am the peacemaker in my family and a lucky “Tia” to my adorable nephew. I am so passionate about all of the opportunities that support this one magical life we get to live and am grateful for everyone who chooses to work with me :)

 

If you want to peep into all that I’m up to, please follow along with all of the things!
