Hi, I am Jackie! Born and raised at the Jersey shore (a proud Sea Girt Patriot for life), I attended Loyola University in Maryland and dedicated 7 years of my career as a Jersey City school teacher. I was honored to earn Teacher of the Year 2019-2020. Those who know me well have dubbed me “Jac of all trades”. My knowledge of and love for the wedding industry is homegrown – my family has been in the business for many years. For as long as I can remember, I’ve had a passion for party planning. Being one of seven children, every dinner is a party! (I LOVE a good theme party.)
When I’m not helping our team deliver exceptional wedding experiences, you’ll find me spending time with family and my golden retriever, Hunter.
Fun Fact: I love going to Vermont to snowboard, ride my dirtbike, spin honey, and make homemade apple cider.

Hi, I’m Nicole! I am originally from Brooklyn, New York. After graduating from Rutgers College – Rutgers University, I worked for a premier law firm as well as a national children’s clothing company, before moving to the Jersey Shore with my family.
My journey began at Clarks Landing Yacht Club in 2005 where I quickly discovered my love for the wedding industry, which led to becoming a Wedding and Event Coordinator. Having an eye for detail and a genuine love of people, I was engaged in the early success of Clarks Landing Yacht Club and helped design the exclusive Alumni club, where we invite our beloved couples and their families back to Clarks for special, memorable events. I treasure the wonderful relationships I’ve gained throughout the years. My ultimate goal is always to make my couples feel just as important and special as our family. It would not only be my pleasure but an honor to be your Wedding Coordinator.

It has been a privilege to work at many amazing spaces including Noche in Times Square and Guastavino’s under the 59th Street Bridge, as well as many others. Throughout my career, I have planned an array of different events. These include not only weddings but television and Broadway show openings, holiday parties, and much more.
In 2007 my husband and I, along with our two daughters, moved to New Jersey. After staying home for a while with my children, I was honored to come on board at Clarks Landing Yacht Club. Planning hundreds of weddings for our wonderful couples has been an extraordinary experience. I believe that your wedding should be stress-free and most of all… fun! I look forward to working with you and making your wedding day a beautiful experience you will treasure forever.
