Life, Values & Legacy: Our Chat with Jordyn Zanin & Alexis Parmentier of Austin & Surrounding Areas!

We’re looking forward to introducing you to Jordyn Zanin & Alexis Parmentier . Check out our conversation below.

Jordyn & Alexis, really appreciate you sharing your stories and insights with us. The world would have so much more understanding and empathy if we all were a bit more open about our stories and how they have helped shaped our journey and worldview. Let’s jump in with a fun one: What is something outside of work that is bringing you joy lately?
Alexis: Spending time with my family, especially my 9 month old Daughter and husband!

Jordyn: Getting outside for a walk & enjoying the sunshine!! Moving my body brings me so much joy in this season!

Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
We are Alexis and Jordyn, the co-owners of Simply XO Events! Simply XO Events is a wedding and event planning team specializing in intentional wedding planning, management & design! The Simply XO Events approach is all about creating memorable celebrations that truly represent you and your love story. Our philosophy is to provide a curated, personalized, & unforgettable client experience through collaborative partnerships, innovative designs, intentional details, and flawless execution.

Great, so let’s dive into your journey a bit more. What did you believe about yourself as a child that you no longer believe?
Alexis: That everyone has to go to college in order to be successful! There are different paths to success for everyone.

Jordyn: That you have to have it all figured out in order to move forward! Just one foot in front of the other!

If you could say one kind thing to your younger self, what would it be?
Alexis: Your beautiful just the way God made you! Comparison is the thief of joy.

Jordyn: You can’t pour from an empty cup. Remember to always take care of YOU!

So a lot of these questions go deep, but if you are open to it, we’ve got a few more questions that we’d love to get your take on. What are the biggest lies your industry tells itself?
Alexis & Jordyn: That you have to spend a large amount of money in order to have a beautiful wedding! The definition of a beautiful wedding looks different to every client and vendor. Making the wedding about the couple is more important than how much money you are spending!

Thank you so much for all of your openness so far. Maybe we can close with a future oriented question. If you knew you had 10 years left, what would you stop doing immediately?
Alexis & Jordyn: Overworking and not having balance with our work load. Balance is so key to being the best business owner, spouse, parent, etc. Although, that sounds easier than it is!
