Hi, I’m Jennifer Lopez, the Owner and Founder of Bella Sposa Events, established in 2016 in beautiful Orlando, Florida. I earned my degree in Interior Design in 2011 and began my career working for a well-known design firm in Winter Park. That experience gave me a deep appreciation for thoughtful design, organization, and creating spaces that tell a story, all of which I now bring into wedding planning.

I was born and raised in Erie, Pennsylvania, right along Lake Erie. Fun fact: Erie is one of the snowiest cities in the U.S.—we once got 34 inches of snow in a single day! Growing up there taught me to find joy in every season, something I carry into both my work and life today.

When I started Bella Sposa Events, my goal was to create a wedding planning experience where every couple feels fully supported and celebrated. After my own wedding day, when I didn’t feel as supported as I had hoped, I realized there was a real need for planners who lead with empathy, care, and genuine connection. That “why” continues to guide everything I do.

I married my husband, Gabriel, in 2013. We met while lifeguarding during the Disney College Program back in 2009, and it truly was love at first sight. Today, we’re blessed with three amazing kids—Samuel, Sophia, and Noah—and I’m so grateful for the beautiful life God has given us.

I’m incredibly proud of the team I’ve built and the community I get to work alongside. At Bella Sposa Events, it’s not just about planning weddings; it’s about creating moments that feel true to you, filled with beauty, joy, and meaning.
