Kendall and Justin,

Thank you for your time during our recent call. We so enjoyed learning more about your vision for the upcoming wedding, and our design wheels are already spinning after hearing more of your love story—meeting in high school, reconnecting 18 months ago, and saying “Yes!” after a surprise proposal. Please accept our heartfelt congratulations on your engagement.

When discussing your vision for the wedding, you shared that you hope to create a wedding experience that is unlike anything you or your guests have attended before, while still being authentic to the two of you. Given your busy careers, you are seeking a planning team that can keep the wedding on track while offering sound advice and creative ideas. Your goal: A memorable weekend in a beautiful setting that feels well-hosted without dipping into “over the top” territory…and definitely nothing cookie-cutter.

Of course, many decisions will need to be made, but you're hoping to inject some fun into this process and truly enjoy the time leading up to your once-in-a-lifetime celebration.

We understand your unique vision and stand ready to help you realize it.

“Thank you!! Truly the most magical day ever, I knew it was going to be amazing, but it was better than I could have ever imagined!”

-Sydney Watters Rohleder, Bride

I’ve been devoted to the luxury hospitality industry for the better part of two decades—and still find myself absolutely in love with weddings and events.

During that time, I’ve learned there’s a right way to plan a wedding. And that is: To follow a process that is most comfortable for you.

This is why I practice the platinum rule—treating you as you’d like to be treated, and meeting you where you are on the journey. Then walking the path together from there.

Hello, Friend. I’m Julian Leaver. Also known as the Dapper Diplomat.

YOUR PLANNING TEAM

Get to know JLE’s core leadership team—your primary points of contact throughout the wedding planning experience.

Achieving the right result requires assembling the right team. And when it comes to delivering the fabulous experience you deserve, there’s no team member I trust more than Sarah Kane.

Sarah has spent over 15 years planning and designing unforgettable events in Dallas and destinations across the globe. Prior to joining JLE, she held roles in sales, food and beverage, design, and operations for nationally-recognized planners, catering companies, and venues alike—work that has given her an unsurpassed understanding of luxury event production.

Meet Sarah, our LEAD PLANNER.

Every wedding needs a grounding force—a calm presence who sees the big picture and anticipates the smallest detail. For us, that’s Grace Whitlock.

Grace brings a winning combination of logistical precision and creative intuition to the JLE team. With a BBA in Hospitality & Hotel Management from Dallas Baptist University—and an MBA in progress—Grace has planned and executed destination weddings across Italy, Mexico, the Bahamas, and Canada. Her background spans roles in event planning, floral design, and strategic client coordination, making her a powerful behind-the-scenes ally.

Meet Grace, your Production Manager.

A checklist queen capable of quieting any operational storm, Julie Fried is responsible for making magic happen from behind the curtain at JLE.

With a background in musical theatre, Julie pursued her degree while performing on several Dallas stages, later spending nearly a decade with the Dallas Mavericks organization. While at the Mavs, Julie also launched her own wedding planning business. That dual career path led her to a deeper love of systems and operations. With a gift for people-first problem solving, she keeps our behind-the-scenes gears turning with clarity, efficiency, and just the right amount of wit.

Meet Julie, your Operations Manager.

Let’s start building a day you’ll cherish—forever.

“Julian & Sarah made me feel included, important and needed! They are masters at the art of diplomacy, have an amazing rolodex of who’s who, psychiatrists without a couch and just so darn lovely to work with! The most important thing through the process is to have fun. Well, we ALL had fun!”

-Cathy, Mother of the Bride

“We wanted to enjoy every second of our weekend and not have to think about little details - Julian and team felt like an extension of us throughout the planning phase and execution phase and that gave us a ton of comfort in knowing the event would be great.”

-Sami, Groom

“Both Julian and Sarah felt like friends of mine off the bat and truly made the wedding planning process enjoyable for me. They are the perfect balance of incredibly professional but not stiff, fun but assertive, and flexible yet organized. I cannot sing their praises enough.”

-Allie, Bride

“They are supportive, creative and the very BEST at what they do. I often told friends that Julian and Sarah think for you which made the process so seamless. If I could hire them to plan my life, I would do it in a heartbeat! I did not know I had a ‘dream wedding’ until I met Julian and Sarah.”

-Catherine, Bride
