I was blown away by how Janelle goes above & beyond to make every last detail absolutely perfect!

I worked with Janelle on a past styled shoot she put together, and I would recommend her 100 times over. She went above and beyond to make sure the shoot turned out perfect, even though she was organizing two different shoots for the same day. She was always quick to reply to any emails and I really appreciated how open she was to any ideas I had for the calligraphy elements of the shoot. The final style for the shoot looked spectacular, and I was really impressed at her ability to flawlessly organize so many vendors for 3 different shoots at the same time. I had an amazing experience working with her, and I would definitely suggest her to any bride wanting heir big day to not only looks gorgeous but go without a hitch!

Best Wedding Team Ever

My husband and I used Beyond The I Do for our wedding planning and execution this past May and it was one of the best decisions we made. Janelle led and gave expert advice every step of the way including recommendations for vendors, creative ideas and schedule development and execution for the day of. Our wedding day was perfect and that was in large part to Janelle and her team's professionalism, friendliness and expertise in the event and wedding planning space. We were lucky to have her. Thank you!
