Monthly Spotlight Closet: Jake Taylor

February 2025 Spotlight Closet: Wedding & Event Planner Jake Taylor

February 2025 Spotlight Closet - Jake TaylorJake Taylor has shaken up the Seattle Events community with his company, Functions and Gatherings. a bespoke wedding planning company focused on making the wedding planning journey stress-free and fun.

"We focus on the queer experience because acceptance doesn't cut it–our love deserves to be celebrated! In a hyper-normative industry, we want to break the mold and have a blast doing it." While weddings are the primary focus, events that celebrate queer love and strengthen communities are really what they love to do!

Jake is a Seattle native originally from the east side and settled in Burien with his husband Max and cat Herman. A lifelong fatty, it took Jake until their late 20s to fall into an ever evolving personal style that often features loud patterns and challenges folks' perception of gender.

Jake's Spotlight Closet is full of pieces in sizes 22W - 34W with color, volume & sparkles!!
