14. ojuba Wedding was
founded by Jackie James
after more than
20 years of experience in the
event-planning business.
After starting a career in
catering, Jackie immediately
found herself in demand for
high-profile corporate and
celebrity events. However, she
soon found that her favorite
events were weddings.
4%&567(4%879P()"D#U7JP(-"CDE%(W7UU6#R
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 minor
problems and major disasters, keeping her cool, and working with each
bride to make the day magical.
Brides quickly hijacked Jackie’s hospitality career by asking her to work
directly as their wedding planner. After planning and managing
hundreds of weddings, Jackie decided to share her skill of problem
solving, her flair for the beautiful and unique, and her love of all things
“wedding” by creating the Mojuba Bride and Groom bags, which are
filled with every little item couples might need to pull o! a successful
and magical event by anticipating every detail.
Mojuba Wedding is a highly personal endeavor for Jackie. Everything
about each bag’s design and contents radiates casual elegance,
uncompromising quality, luxury, thoughtfulness and whimsy – as well as
memories from Jackie’s life, from her travels and people she has known
and loved.
Jackie describes her life as “living in a party.” She resides in Chicago
with her husband, four children, and two large Labrador retrievers.

16. We ordered the first kit to see the product first hand and liked it so much we wanted a
second 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 actually
had to ask the postal o#ce if they had the right one! The box for the bag was"sooo beautiful. You
could really feel that it was something special inside. Even my boyfriend thought the Groom Bag
looked so professional. I just want to say that it’s perfect, from the cute little "kiss-my-boo boo
band-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! There
was a wedding I did recently that I used the bag so many times that I had to write to you and tell
you all about it. It seemed like there was one thing after another, and the Mojuba bag was there to
the rescue. We needed the scissors to cut the hanging loops from the brides dress as she was
getting ready because they were bothering her. We used all the hairspray in the bottle because they
were 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 stain
remover. It made a HUGE di!erence and the bride was so happy that she would not be walking down
the aisle with a stain on her dress. A few minutes later, the father of the bride lost a button on his
tux. Mojuba to the rescue with its sewing kit! I have used your bag at every wedding and it has
always been such an asset. I would tell any bride, event planner, mother of the bride that this bag is
a 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 pins
were definitely used as were the tissues and eye drops—so much crying—tears of joy of course!!"She
really adored the bag and even took it with her on her honeymoon."A few of her friends were a
bit"envious of the bag!"I honestly cannot thank you enough for providing such a great product which
in turn became one of the best gifts I could have possibly given to Kelly."She truly was taken aback
with 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 wrap
them 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!! It
was the best present ever! – Cherie
I LOVE the Mojuba products. I bought a bag for my sister for her wedding and a bag for my
brother-in-law"and they both loved them and used them during their honeymoon as well. I must
have been in the bag 4 or 5 times looking for something we needed; from band aids to tape to lip
gloss to nail polish! - Beth
