Save yourself some time and don't bother

We had our wedding coordinated by Janette at the end of August in 2024. If you are OK with the following (which all happened to us) then please feel free to move forward with her services:

- Not showing up to the rehearsal even though you told her verbally and in writing multiple times. (she forgot, oops!)
- Insulting your loved ones on the day of your wedding (at least 4 people were offended by her actions and comments, which she admitted herself that “she was appalled at her own behavior”
- Leaving at 6pm after showing up at 3pm and not saying goodbye to anyone except her assistants. We had to find out she left after the fact. We were taking photos near the entrance and she notified us our first dance would be in 10 min and then promptly got in a car without another word and drove off.
- Changing your shared wedding timeline document (google sheets) without communicating those changes so that you are left wondering where she is on the day-of. She changed her arrival time from 2pm to 3pm without any notice to us, the day before she forgot to attend the rehearsal.
-Asking for full payment despite all of the above!

I’d be happy to share more detail if you are considering her services! We truly believe no one deserves to be treated like this on their special day and Janette just hides behind her vague terms and conditions to demand full payment even when she knows she did a horrible job!

Absolutely LOVED Events By The Bay!

Janette is incredibly kind and calming! We worked with her for a year up to our wedding and she provided great recommendations for vendors and an excellent check list to make sure we were on track. She and her whole team were excellent on the day of the wedding! Super affordable and helpful!

Amazing wedding planner and florist!

Janette was our wedding planner and florist for our wedding this summer, It was a complex event involving two locations (our backyard in a rural area and a restaurant 30 minutes away as well as 3 hotels that 120 guests had to be shuttled to and from). It was so complex that initially we were unsure if we could even pull it off. Hiring Janette was the best decision we ever made! She assured us that it could be done, and she was right.



From the get-go, Janette was extremely organized and always a step or five ahead of us, while being cheerful, friendly, and flexible when we changed our mind on something or were slower than expected in our wedding planning homework tasks.



Janette has a wealth of experience and a great event planning network: she connected us with trusted vendors she had worked with (such as our photographer, DJ, the furniture rental company, and the catering company for the post-wedding brunch). The manager at our event venue restaurant had also worked with Janette multiple times before and was happy to hear that Janette would be in charge. She clearly has an excellent reputation in the industry! Every vendor we hired upon her recommendation did excellent work. I would trust Janette's recommendations blindly.



Another big plus for us was that Janette is also a florist and could do all the flowers for our wedding herself, from bridal and bridesmaids bouquets to flower arrangements for tables, vases, and outdoor signs. Janette also has a lot of rentals available for reasonable prices, which come in handy to put finishing touches on the design. In our case, she created a beautiful wedding arch by draping our oak tree in white fabric and adding flowers, hanging lanterns, pedestals with beautiful flower arrangements, etc., from her collection. Janette also created and provided beautiful graphics and images for our dinner menu, wedding ceremony, outdoor signage, signature cocktails, table signs and escort cards, etc.



We went through months of planning and enjoyed the process. Janette is a true professional who kept us informed, in control as much or as little as we wanted to, on timeline, and on budget.



Everything went off without a hitch, and we could truly enjoy our wedding day without worries or stress. It was more magical and wonderful than we could have dreamed of, and this is truly due to Janette's professionalism and experience! I would hire her again in a heartbeat. We had an amazing experience with Janette and her team and cannot recommend her highly enough!



Thank you, Janette, for everything you have done to make our wedding such a beautiful, unforgettable experience!
