Meet the Leading Ladies: Jane & Josie

Jane: With a background in education and a natural talent for organization, Jane's journey into the world of wedding planning began as a side hustle while she was teaching Middle School.

Learning the ropes from Josie over the years, Jane's transition to becoming the owner and lead production manager of Satchel marked an exciting new chapter. Her genuine passion lies in connecting with couples and weaving their unique stories into the tapestry of their wedding day.

Josie: The visionary behind Satchel Events, Josie established the business in 2015. A lover of wine, music, and all things Netflix, Josie's creative flair is evident not only in her wedding design expertise but also in her vibrant personality. A mother to twins born in 2017, Josie's commitment to ensuring both enjoyment and aesthetic beauty at weddings shines through her work. As the lead designer and social media strategist, she combines her artistic eye with her dedication to making each event not only visually stunning but also immensely enjoyable.
