OUR PLANNERS
Lead Planner:
Jenna Fiegl
Hello! I'm Jenna Fiegl, the Owner and Founder of Pearls & Poppy Wedding and Event Consultants. Thank you so much for stopping by and learning more about this incredible business I’ve built! When you choose to work with my company, you’re choosing to work with me directly, and I couldn't be more excited to share my passion for the wedding industry with you. I can’t wait to meet you and help bring your vision to life!
​
In March of 2020, like so many others in the event industry, I faced the challenge of losing my job at one of Dayton’s largest wedding venues due to COVID-19 layoffs. It was a tough moment, as I had worked so hard to become the successful event planner I’d dreamed of being since I was a little girl. But after a few months, I knew that the world would eventually return to celebrating love and life together. Getting engaged to my now-husband, Tom, in June of 2020 reignited my passion as I planned my own wedding, which we celebrated in July of 2021.
​
Now, as a mom to our little boy, Jack, I’m even more passionate about what I do. Being a mother is one of the greatest joys of my life, and I’m so thrilled that my job allows me to spend most of my week with him while still doing what I love—helping brides and grooms plan their perfect day.
I take great pride in getting to know each of my clients on a personal level. Understanding a couple’s love story allows me to translate that into a wedding day that’s uniquely theirs. Celebrating the love between two people is my absolute favorite part of this job, and I’m truly blessed to be a part of such intimate and special moments.
​
Now that you know a bit more about my journey and the story behind Pearls & Poppy, I hope you’ll reach out so we can connect further. I’m here to make your wedding day as unique and special as your love story. Let’s create something truly unforgettable together!
XOXO,
Jenna Fiegl

ASSISTANT PLANNER:
Cassie Csendes
Hi! My name is Cassie Csendes, Associate Planner for Pearls & Poppy Wedding and Event Consultants. Thank you so much for taking the time to consider us for your special day. It truly means so much for you to entrust us in such an important day and we cannot wait to work with you!
Unlike our founder Jenna, wedding planning wasn’t something I dreamed of doing all my life, but little did I know how much I would enjoy it! Throughout college I was involved in many different organizations and with a few of those I was involved in planning events both large and small. I planned many events for my sorority, Kappa Delta, and even planned a fifteen-hour dance marathon for our organization, Miracle Makers, to raise money for the local Dayton Children’s Hospital. After leaving college I missed this experience so when my long-time best friend asked me to help join her in her business, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity!
Having planned my own wedding in May of 2023 and with all the other weddings I've helped bring to life, I truly understand the stresses and challenges that a bride can face. Having been through it myself, I know how important it is to enjoy the planning process, not just survive it. That's why I’m passionate about taking those stresses away, so you can focus on the excitement and joy of preparing for your big day.
The moment when everything comes together and I see the bride’s face light up—that’s why I love what I do. Being there for both the bride and groom, supporting them as they start their forever, is something I’m deeply grateful for. It’s an honor to be part of such a significant moment in their lives, and it’s why I’m so dedicated to making each wedding as special and stress-free as possible.
Hopefully now that you have gotten to know why I love this industry and position, you’ll reach out to see how we can help along the way to planning your magical day!
​
XOXO,
Cassie Csendes
Assistant Planner:
Olivia Kelly
Hello! I'm Olivia Kelly, and I appreciate you considering our team to ensure your special day exceeds your expectations!
​
I am thrilled to be part of your wedding day. A little bit about me: I am completing my final year at Wright State University, pursuing a bachelor's degree in Organizational Leadership. Working closely with Jenna, our founder, for nearly 2 years has been incredibly fulfilling. Initially, I considered a career in education but realized my true passion lies in event planning. Exploring the intricacies of the event planning industry, especially weddings, captured my heart, and I decided to pursue it wholeheartedly. Witnessing how each couple uniquely infuses their love into their wedding day is truly remarkable to me!
​
XOXO,
Olivia Kelly​
ASSISTANT PLANNER:
Lulu Stieb
Hi! My name is Lulu and I was born and raised in Dayton, Ohio but now live in the West Chester area and I am so excited that you are here! I am married to my wonderful husband Cody, and we have one daughter. If we’re not traveling, we spend most of our time doing different outdoor activities like hiking, camping, and kayaking in the warmer months and skiing and in the colder months. I also love a good night cozy on the couch just as much!
When it comes to events…well, that is a funny story because what started as an accident turned into a passion. I have been coordinating and hosting events for 10 years now. In the beginning it was mostly concerts, comedy shows, philanthropic races, and festivals. But for the past 6 years now my whole world is all things weddings! I am excited about the potential of working with you to help make YOUR day as seamless and stress free as possible.
XOXO,
Lulu Steib
