    It was a pleasure to have Jaclyn Watson as one of the breakout session

    speakers at the Association of Bridal Consultants 2023 World of Weddings Annual Conference in Charlotte, NC. Working with Jackie was a pleasure. She submitted an informative speaker proposal, met all deadlines in a timely manner, and responded to communications quickly. Jackie is a true professional, and she spent time networking and interacting with the conference attendees. Her session was well attended, and our members had great takeaways from her insights and presentation. We would definitely welcome Jackie back as a speaker at a future conference

  • Fausto Pifferrer, Blue Elephant Catering

    Jackie Watson’s class “How to Create Intimate Wedding Experiences for Clients” was fantastic! She illustrated how to zero in on the “experience” part of things and find a way to relate to what each client really wants. Jackie was super knowledgeable, insightful, and really in tune with trends that are happening globally. She captures and creates the experiences for her client and the guests attending the event. She is a true dream-maker.

  • Beverly Anne Bonner, APR & MWP

    Jaclyn Watson of Jaclyn Watson Events spoke to the members of the Association of Bridal Consultants – New England at our June 7, 2023 meeting. She gave a POWERFUL presentation. She was inspirational, educational, intriguing, and candid. You know a speaker has moved the audience when the presentation ends, and then many raise their hands with comments and questions, and that was the case here. She spoke about her award-winning weddings and how/why to submit your work for awards. But in addition to that, she shared her expertise and experience in the wedding world, providing even more value to the group. When I made arrangements with Jackie to speak, I thought to myself:

    ‘This is going to be one amazing meeting,’ and it was!
