The origin
From musicto matching.
We're Juliana and Raphael — Brazilian musicians who moved to Vancouver chasing a dream. For years, we lived inside the event world: performing at weddings, corporate galas, cultural festivals, and every kind of celebration this beautifully diverse city has to offer.
We saw two sides of the same broken coin. Event hosts drowning in Google tabs, DM'ing strangers on Instagram, and praying they'd find someone reliable. Meanwhile, incredible local pros — photographers, caterers, DJs, decorators — were invisible, struggling to get discovered.
We thought: what if there was a brilliant friend who knew everyone in the event world? Someone who actually listened to what you want and connected you with the right person — not just the one who paid the most for an ad.
That friend became Jada.
Jada isn't a directory. She's an AI companion that understands your celebration, your budget, your vibe — and finds the local pros who are the perfect fit. No endless scrolling. No guessing. Just matched.
