This is a part of our Creative Collaboration series, where we introduce you to our creative partners from all around the Bay Area. Today, we’re introducing you to Jill Black of On the Vine Catering.

Today, we’re thrilled to introduce Jill Black, the Wedding Sales Manager at On the Vine Catering! They are a full-service catering company that specializes in weddings, corporate events, and private parties.

With a background in cake design, Jill has been with On the Vine Catering since the very beginning and has always loved getting to know new clients. “Seeing the vision they have for their wedding at the beginning and helping them to bring that vision to life,” she shared. “They are so excited about every detail and being able to give suggestions or referrals to great vendors makes me feel like I’m really a part of their special day.”

Jill shared a bit of advice with couples who are planning their wedding:
The biggest piece of advice for couples planning their wedding would be to schedule a private moment for just the two of you right after the ceremony. Find a place where the two of you can be alone and realize that the important part of the day just happened, you married your best friend. So much energy and focus goes into planning the details of a reception and the biggest moment of the day passes with couples being moved from ceremony to pictures to dinner to cake cutting and on and on, that you miss that special realization that you are now Mr. and Mrs.

If she had the week off of work, this is where you’ll find Jill…
I would go someplace warm and beachy and sit in a lounge chair with a cocktail and not move!

She also reminds couples to just have fun planning their wedding! “Remember weddings are just very large parties and they shouldn’t be so stressful that it isn’t fun or enjoyable,” she encouraged. Expect the unexpected and don’t take it too seriously. Ask your vendors for advise and suggestions they are the experts and above all else enjoy the day, you just got married!”

If that isn’t true, we don’t know what is!
