The Two of Us

Two Women.
One Signature Vision.

Two founders, present at every JJ Signature event from the first phone call to the final toast. No hand-offs, no hidden associates: just the two of us, all the way through.

The People Who Fall in Love With Your Vision Should Be the People Who Bring It to Life.

We’re Jayvee and Leah, the two behind every JJ Signature event, from the first phone call to the final toast. No hand-offs, no junior associate meeting you for the first time three weeks out. Just us, the whole way through.

It’s a simple belief, but a rare one in this industry. So when you inquire, you’re not being sorted into a pipeline. You’re starting a conversation with the two people who will actually see it through, from your first email to the very last song.

Jayvee & Leah

From the very first conversation, you get both of us. That’s not a courtesy: it’s the whole model, and it’s why our clients never wonder who is actually running their day.

Jayvee Austria, Co-Founder and Creative Director of JJ Signature Hawaii

Co-Founder & Creative Director

Jayvee Austria

Jayvee is the eye behind every palette, tablescape, and moodboard. Long before the first flower is ordered, she has already translated your story into a visual language: the colors, the textures, the way a room should feel when your guests walk in. Nothing on the day is generic, and nothing is borrowed from someone else’s moodboard.

What She Owns
  • Color palettes and mood
  • Tablescape and floral direction
  • Moodboards and visual storyboards
  • Design integrity, from first sketch to final photograph
Jessica Leah Kane, Co-Founder and Director of Experiences at JJ Signature Hawaii

Co-Founder & Director of Experiences

Jessica “Leah” Kane

Leah is the instinct behind every conversation, compromise, and quiet fix. She is the one who remembers what you mentioned in passing on your first call, holds the timeline so nothing collides, and solves a problem three steps before you would ever notice it existed. By the time your event begins, she has already imagined every way it could go wrong, and quietly made sure none of them will.

What She Owns
  • Every client conversation, start to finish
  • Logistics, timelines, and vendor coordination
  • The quiet fixes no guest ever notices
  • The day itself, held from first arrival to last goodbye

The Way We Choose
to Do This

Three commitments that shape every wedding, retreat, and celebration we take on.

01

Both Founders, Always

Every client works directly with Jayvee and Leah, not an associate and not a hand-off partway through. That access is the whole point, and we protect it.

02

A Considered Number

We take a limited number of events each season, on purpose. It’s the only way to give every client the attention this work actually deserves.

03

Aloha Meets Precision

Refined luxury, woven with the warmth of aloha: mainland-caliber production standards, without losing what makes this place ours.

Rooted in aloha, built on precision. We bring mainland-caliber production standards to a distinctly Hawaiian sense of hospitality: a combination we hadn’t found anywhere else on these islands. It’s exactly why we started this company.
