Team
Jill McCarty has been in the business of entertainment and fashion for over 20 years. Many years as a singer, band leader, emcee, DJ and KJ, she witnessed most every event happen from the inside out. While performing at numerous weddings, receptions and events, she realized that many times there was a great frustration behind the scenes. Generally, those with the most to celebrate are the ones stressed to the max and worried about the details. While planning her own wedding, she knew she had a knack for making beautiful things happen. Friends and family saw her passion and attention to detail, and quickly began asking for assistance. Many wedding and events later, she decided to follow her passion. She studied Wedding and Event Planning through QC Event Career School and received her diploma and an Award of Merit for outstanding creative ability.
Jill also has many years of experience in the fashion industry as a buyer for a major American-branded company. She prides herself in staying current with the trends and she always listens to what the customer wants. She has an outstanding record of customer service, and is anxious to bring that enthusiasm to each and every client, family and vendor she works with. In 2018, Jill co-founded the New Braunfels Wedding Chamber and the Hill Country Wedding Show. To say she is passionate about the wedding industry, Hill Country couples and industry professionals, would be an understatement. In 2019, she also became an ordained minister to give her clients the option of being married by someone who knows their event like no other. Jill can literally guide you through and customize every aspect of your special day- from set up to send-off. Jill would love to get you connected with the best of the best and to turn your vision into a reality. When you hire Jill, you hire a friend and an advocate for you every step of the way.
