Janelle allowed for a perfect and stress-free day!

Our day went so smoothly thanks to Janelle! We had some last minute changes that needed to be made and handled, and she handled them like a champ. We had an untraditional schedule and some untraditional wants and needs in terms of timeline/etc and she listened and made sure all of these were implemented. She was so professional, caring, and communicative both before and during the wedding and handled our cross-cultural wedding with so much care! We cannot thank her enough!

Knowledgable and adaptable with a delightful, friendly demeanor

We hired Janelle as our partial planner and day-of coordinator. She was awesome to work with. Similar to other reviews here, I was pretty anxious and stressed about the whole wedding thing, and every time I spoke with Janelle about it, I felt excited and happy instead. She recommended great vendors, helped to hire a few of them without us lifting a finger, went over all the details with us, ran the rehearsal, and worked tirelessly to ensure the day went smoothly.

We ended up with unexpected rain at the exact time of our family photos and 45 minutes before our ceremony was supposed to start. Janelle completely handled the situation, worked out a new timeline so we could still have the ceremony outside when it stopped raining, handled all the vendor communication required, and kept me in the loop the whole time. Then, once dinner, dances, and speeches were finished, she left her lovely assistant in charge and drove over to our after-party location to set up our decorations and coordinate everything there before returning in time to organize a great exit for us. AND THEN, we accidentally locked her out of our car before she could load up our decorations and remaining items. She ended up dropping them off the next morning at our friend's house so we could pick them up more easily. We seriously couldn't have made it through without her. She is a gem.

I felt the stress leave my body as soon as I hired Janelle

Janelle was a gift from the heavens!! She was a great resource for everything. She was super responsive via text and email and was there for every question I had. She was our day of coordinator but so much more. I couldn’t have imagined a better person to keep my day running smoothly. I can’t recommend her enough!
