Jenny Preston | Lead Designer

Forever inspired by the diverse love stories that surround us, the eclectic mix of colors and textures present in Florida’s natural surroundings and historic architecture, combined with the romance of overflowing gardens.

I began working in events in 2010 before opening Port + Palm Co. in 2016. I love curating experiences that feel unique to each client and environment. Whether it’s pulling in thrifted vases, layering textures, crafting a flow to best fit a guest’s experience, or figuring out which flower perfectly fits the occasion; I know that no two events ever feel the same. My career has brought me work in not only weddings, but event coordination for large scale city events, private wine focused soirees, seminars, trade events, and management of hospitality teams. I work with each client to ensure a seamless story is told from the moment guests are greeted to the moment they boogie out the exit.

I’m a born and raised girl from South Florida who was dragged through dirt fields of antiques since before I could talk, had my mom tell me the name of every plant and flower we walked by - my entire life, and picked up sand dollars with my toes in neck deep water with my grandpa and brother. All of these pieces influence my day to day and the way I approach event design.

While Florida provided the mise en place for my life, I spent 7 years in Oregon immersing myself in the community, seasons, & wine industry. I like to call both places home.
