Jane Rae Events: Sioux Falls Wedding Planner Spotlight

As a South Dakota wedding photographer, I get to work alongside some truly incredible vendors, and Jane Rae Events is one of the teams I always feel grateful to have on a wedding day. If you’re searching for a Sioux Falls wedding planner who blends organization, artistry, and genuine care, they’re a team worth knowing.

I recently worked with Tess from Jane Rae Events for a beautiful celebration at Monick Yards, and from the very beginning, her communication was quick, warm, and professional. She took the lead in crafting a thoughtful timeline, making sure every detail of the day felt intentional and unrushed. When a planner can help structure the flow of the day this well, it allows me as the photographer to capture the kinds of moments couples want most: relaxed, present, joy-filled memories.

How Jane Rae Events Elevated This Monick Yards Wedding

On the wedding day itself, Tess and her team created a seamless experience from start to finish. They handled the decor setup with intention, transforming the ceremony space into a stunning reception layout in what felt like effortless speed. Every candle, linen, and floral placement was thoughtfully arranged, creating an elevated but inviting atmosphere for the couple and their guests.

Throughout the day, the team stayed steps ahead. From keeping the wedding party on schedule to managing transitions and communicating with vendors, their presence allowed everyone to simply enjoy the celebration. When a planner is calm and prepared, it radiates through the entire wedding.

Why Having a Wedding Planner Makes Such a Difference

Working alongside planners like Jane Rae Events reminds me just how transformative a good planning team can be. A wedding planner:

• Keeps the day running smoothly so you never have to worry about the timeline
• Troubleshoots problems quietly before you ever notice them
• Ensures your décor vision actually comes to life
• Communicates with vendors so you’re free to be fully present
• Helps create a relaxed, joy-filled environment from start to finish

A planner elevates not just the logistics, but the emotional experience of the day. You get to soak in the moments without rushing, coordinating, or wondering what comes next.
