20 years of experience in theevent-planning business.After starting a career incatering, Jackie immediatelyfound herself in demand forhigh-profile corporate andcelebrity events. However, shesoon found that her favoriteevents were weddings.
ojuba Wedding wasfounded by Jackie Jamesafter more than
She not only cared deeply about making the day special for the bride,but she had a sixth sense for juggling a million details, solving minorproblems and major disasters, keeping her cool, and working with eachbride to make the day magical.
Brides quickly hijacked Jackie’s hospitality career by asking her to workdirectly as their wedding planner. After planning and managinghundreds of weddings, Jackie decided to share her skill of problemsolving, her flair for the beautiful and unique, and her love of all things“wedding” by creating the Mojuba Bride and Groom bags, which arefilled with every little item couples might need to pull o! a successfuland magical event by anticipating every detail.
Mojuba Wedding is a highly personal endeavor for Jackie. Everythingabout each bag’s design and contents radiates casual elegance,uncompromising quality, luxury, thoughtfulness and whimsy – as well asmemories from Jackie’s life, from her travels and people she has knownand loved.
Jackie describes her life as “living in a party.” She resides in Chicagowith her husband, four children, and two large Labrador retrievers.
excerpts from Chicago Social Brides Magazine
Q: What is Mojuba Wedding?A: It’s essentially an insurance policy for thewedding day. Even the most organized bridecan’t anticipate everything. If all you need issome Advil on your big day consider yourselflucky. If you spill red wine on your weddingdress, your veil rips, the best man cuts himselfshaving or your grandmother gets grease onher gown, you will be covered with Mojuba.There are so many fun aspects that go intoplanning the perfect wedding—the dress, theflowers, the venue, the song for your firstdance. What you can’t plan for are theunexpected mishaps that come up on thewedding day—things you simply cannotanticipate. We have a mantra at Mojuba—”leave the unexpected to us!”
Q: What’s in the Bride Mojuba bag?A: There are 36 distinct items, but counting allof the multiples, there are well over 100. Asampling of the products included are:L’Occitane hand cream, Dancin’ Feet shoecushions, Bug Catcherz fashion tape forwardrobe malfunctions, Little i breath mints,Static Guard, pre-threaded needles, clear lipgloss, straws to ship champagne withoutsmudging your lipstick, scissors to snip unrulythreads, and a Madame Paulette couture stainremoval kit. The bag is stu!ed with so manygreat products I could go on for a while!
Q: What’s in the Groom Mojuba bag?A: I like to think of the guys’ bag as their “boyscout” kit—it ensures they will always beprepared. There are practical necessities like ashoe horn, a shaving kit with styptic pencil fornicks, shoe shine wipes, Carmex lip balm,Sni! tissues (yes, boys cry too) and Cavallinifile folders to keep all of the importantcontracts and wedding documents organized.I also made sure to include fun stu! like pokersize playing cards and a Kodak camera tocapture those male bonding moments!
Q: How did you choose the items in the bags?A: Unplanned things happen on the weddingday: buttons fall o!, someone gets aheadache, the maid of honor’s hair won’t stayup…I drew from my experience as a plannerto pick the most useful items. I am a bit of aproduct junkie so testing and choosing theitems was fun. I worked with boutiquemanufacturers and major retailers to selectpractical and unique items that would makesolving unexpected mishaps e!ortless.Weddings are personal, so I wanted the kits tofeel as if your best friends put them togetherwith everything they knew you would needand love!
Q: What is your advice for the bride andgroom?A: First and foremost, couples should reallytry to keep things in perspective on theirwedding day—don’t sweat the small stu!. Youare committing to spend the rest of your lifewith the person you love. All of your closestfriends and family will be gathered around toshare in the joy as you walk down the aisle,take your vows and celebrate your union. Allweddings get a little crazy, but there is noneed for drama or tears. Headaches and upsetstomachs happen. Shoes hurt, wardrobesmalfunction—it’s just life.
Q: Who should buy Mojuba bags?A: Anyone involved in a wedding! It’s a gift forparents to give newly engaged couples to takesome of the stress out of the weddingplanning right form the beginning. It’s perfectfor a bride-to-be to give her future groomand vice-versa. The bags also make a greatgroup shower gift for the bridal party to buyfor the bride and groom. When you give thegift of Mojuba, you can be sure you are givingthe happy couple something they will use onthe wedding day, honeymoon, and foreverafter!
Q and A with Jackie
We ordered the first kit to see the product first hand and liked it so much we wanted asecond one to give to another bride to be!"You have produced a great product,Congratulations! - Jessica
I’m very very happy to tell you that I LOVE IT!!! I could not believe the size of the package. I actuallyhad to ask the postal o#ce if they had the right one! The box for the bag was"sooo beautiful. Youcould really feel that it was something special inside. Even my boyfriend thought the Groom Baglooked so professional. I just want to say that it’s perfect, from the cute little "kiss-my-boo booband-aids" to the super smart scissors. - Carolina
I have been using my Mojuba bag for quite a few weddings and it has always come in handy! Therewas a wedding I did recently that I used the bag so many times that I had to write to you and tellyou all about it. It seemed like there was one thing after another, and the Mojuba bag was there tothe rescue. We needed the scissors to cut the hanging loops from the brides dress as she wasgetting ready because they were bothering her. We used all the hairspray in the bottle because theywere taking pictures before the ceremony in the city. When the bride got to the reception venue,some of the pollen from the flowers fell on her dress!!! I opened my bag and grabbed your stainremover. It made a HUGE di!erence and the bride was so happy that she would not be walking downthe aisle with a stain on her dress. A few minutes later, the father of the bride lost a button on histux. Mojuba to the rescue with its sewing kit! I have used your bag at every wedding and it hasalways been such an asset. I would tell any bride, event planner, mother of the bride that this bag isa MUST for every wedding day. It will help you with all those hiccups that happen at every wedding!It travels with me to every event! - Alexis Kolpak, wedding planner
When I presented the bride with the bag she was in absolute awe!!! The hairspray and bobby pinswere definitely used as were the tissues and eye drops—so much crying—tears of joy of course!!"Shereally adored the bag and even took it with her on her honeymoon."A few of her friends were abit"envious of the bag!"I honestly cannot thank you enough for providing such a great product whichin turn became one of the best gifts I could have possibly given to Kelly."She truly was taken abackwith all of the items in the bag. -"Debbie
The bags arrived, and they are fantastic!!"The packaging is so gorgeous - I'm not going to wrapthem because they are so beautiful."And, the bags are too fabulous!"- Cheryl
I gave your Bride Mojuba bag to my son's fiancé for Christmas and the whole family was WOWED!! Itwas the best present ever! – Cherie
I LOVE the Mojuba products. I bought a bag for my sister for her wedding and a bag for mybrother-in-law"and they both loved them and used them during their honeymoon as well. I musthave been in the bag 4 or 5 times looking for something we needed; from band aids to tape to lipgloss to nail polish! - Beth
