We hired Janette and Events by the Bay for month-of coordination, floral, and decor services for our wedding on September 23, 2023. She absolutely exceeded our expectations, and we're so grateful to her and her team for making our wedding day run smoothly. Janette was incredibly communicative, especially during the month before the wedding, when she helped us make sure every moving piece fit together. At one point, we realized we didn't have a vendor to help with set-up and tear-down of the reception space, and she helped us fill that gap. Janette created our floor plan, asked insightful questions during our walkthrough, and was regularly in touch with our other vendors. She created floral arrangements and set up decor that matched our inspiration photos perfectly. I gasped when I saw my bouquet--it was that gorgeous. Her staff were kind, respectful, and super on top of the timeline. The icing on the cake was the pricing--Janette has incredibly competitive prices for all services she offers. Her business truly is a one-stop shop for so many key pieces you need for a wedding. Highly recommend!

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!

Janette was the coordinator for our wedding, and she and her assistant ensured it went off without a hitch! She read over our contracts to make sure they were fair, created floor plans, provided a few last minute rentals, and coordinated with our vendors leading up to the wedding to ensure that they knew the plan. It was so helpful to have Janette step in and work with our vendors and answer questions so we didn't have to deal with that stress! Our wedding day went exactly to plan, and we have to thank Janette and her team for that!
