Janel Killed The Macon Gala!

I found Janel on Instagram just searching for the right affordable wedding planner. I instantly loved her style and the events she had done so I knew she would be perfect! She had different packages that were great options and she was very thorough with what to expect. Janel made the process SOOOOOO smooth and I didn't feel as overwhelmed as I thought I would. I knew if all else failed she would have it together, haha! The wedding was absolutely AMAZING. Our friends and family are STILL talking about it. I couldn't have asked for a better day or another planner. Thank you SO SO much Janel!!

Love, The Macon Family

Janel was a great wedding planner. She was referred to me by a friend at work. She was very professional, always had a positive attitude and knew her stuff. I could tell she was well experience in her craft. She and I started working together well in advance of my one month planning period. She was always very responsive. The day of my wedding went very well. I have very high standards and she definitely met and at times exceeded my expectations at times. I didn't have to think about anything during my wedding other than having a great time. I'm sure there were issues that came up during the event, but I was unaware. Ashley, the young lady that worked were Janel was awesome as well.

Choosing Janel as our wedding planner was the best decision we could have made! She's professional, trendy, detailed oriented and full of ideas for planning any bride's special day. With all the wedding jitters throughout the planning process, Janel's calming and patient personality was able to keep me focus for our special. If I had to do it all over again I would choose Janel in a heartbeat!

Our wedding day was absolutely the most beautiful day ever. Our guests are still talking about how much they enjoyed the wedding and reception. Janel Elise Events was instrumental in making everything come together for our big day. When I started to visualize our wedding, I quickly realized I did not have the time or expertise needed to make our day as special as James and I wanted it to be. I began searching for a wedding planner on the Internet and came across Janel Elise Events. I liked Janel's website and called her about her services. Our first meeting was very productive. After the meeting, we discovered that we had graduated from the same college and pledged Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. at the same chapter! That was divine intervention and James and I knew she was the planner for us. I can honestly say Janel was a Godsend and a true professional event planner. All of the vendors she recommended to us worked out beautifully. I loved the fact that Janel was accessible and responded to calls, texts, and e-mails in a timely manner. James and I were truly blessed to have had Janel as our wedding planner and she will be our "go to" planner for future events.

Janel was such a pleasure to work with! As a fellow wedding planner, it was difficult to choose who to turn my wedding baby over to. Janel picked right up on the project and was so flexible in handling my event planning nuances. She worked so well with my lack of work schedule and delivered an awesome event!

A friend referred Janel to coordinate my wedding and after speaking with her I knew she was the perfect person for the job! Our first meeting Janel was prompt and professional and she immediately understood the direction I wanted to go and how to execute. My favorite thing about working with Janel is her flexibility. No matter how many times I changed my mind or needed more time, she was always helpful and patient. I was originally concerned that Janel's time would be spread thinly as she works on multiple events and weddings, but she quickly overcame my concern by being readily available as I needed her. My favorite part of my wedding was honestly everything. It was more perfect than I could've ever dreamed of. The day of my wedding the JEE team worked so efficiently and impressed su all

Janel was amazing!! Both my husband and I were VERY pleased with her services. She stepped in and completed tasked when our bridal party dropped the ball. She is very organized, timely and professional. Janel became a friend during the wedding planning process. Most people have wedding withdrawals....I had Janel withdrawals. :) Everything flowed so smoothly during our wedding day. There were no hiccups and it was all because Janel planned and orchestrated everything so well. She thought of everything in advance. We used Janel for partial planning services and she abundantly exceeded our expectations!!

Janel was referred to me by my floral and decor coordinator literally three months prior to my wedding date. She was very efficient and thorough, throughout the period of time leading up to my wedding date. I selected the day of coordination however Janel went above and beyond the services required to ensure that my wedding day was nothing less than perfect. She made sure that she and her team were present for every meeting at the venue, touched basis via phone and email in a timely manner and she consistently assisted with making certain that the other vendors were on schedule. The wedding day itself was absolutely everything that I hoped it would be and more! Each part of the day unfolded as we planned. I would highly recommend Janel and her team to any bride looking for a professional, stress free day with all of their details carefully taken care of!

How I found Janel: Simple, word-of-mouth. She was highly recommended by one of my friends, who happen to be in the wedding industry as well.

Why Janel: She has a great and calming personality. When my husband and I first met her, it was an immediate choice that she was going to be our coordinator. She understood our parameters, our budget, and our style, which was really important to us.

Favorite thing about working with Janel: She was reliable and quick to respond to emails. So when I would have a stressful, moment of insanity, email to her. She was quick to reply with a suggestion in a calming manner (she was calm even in emails).

Favorite part of the wedding: The feeling that all we needed to do was show up, and everything will go smoothly. It did : )

I found Janel through the Not Wedding/Big Fake Wedding. She was my calm in the storm of wedding planning. She really helped my vision come to life by selecting the right vendors and details. Speaking of details, she is meticulous! She thought of everything that wasn't even on my radar to make our wedding flawless. Since we had a small event and I had done a lot of work before I hired her, I appreciated that she worked with me to find the level of service I actually needed. I highly recommend her and her team for whatever event you're planning!
