The Amazing Justina

My husband and I just had our wedding last week on 12/15/24! Justina was our wedding coordinator and she was truly amazing. She is not only detail oriented, responsive, organized, and professional, but she is also thoughtful and personable. She even helped save us money on not going into over-time with our wedding venue! She also saved our wedding timeline (we initially had an early start time for our ceremony because we thought sunset photos were always taken afterwards, but she helped us move things around and coordinated with our photographer to really make our timeline better and more efiicient)! Leading up to our wedding day, she was on multiple video calls with us to make sure we were on track and had everything we needed. She was so good at anticipating our needs and helping us execute every little detail that we wanted for our wedding day. I also knew Justina was good because she helped plan my best friend's wedding, who was my matron of honor at my wedding! A full circle moment haha.
Justina was so professional, but working with her also felt like planning my wedding with a friend. She is so kind and sweet and I will truly miss working with her. She even helped to keep me warm when I was standing outside in cold December night weather.
We really couldn't have done it without Justina and we are SO glad we picked her to be our wedding coordinator. We couldn't have asked for a better person to help us plan the best day of our lives!

Smoothest Wedding Planning

Working with Justina on planning our wedding was the best decision we made. We went and used her full planning service and it was SO worth the price. My husband and I had already found a venue prior to hiring Justina. After we found the venue, we were completely at a loss with where to start with the planning as it was overwhelming. But Justina removed this burden completely and she was so patient with us. One trait of Justina that we greatly appreciate is her transparency. Before we signed a contract with her, she was straightforward with us about her giving birth in the middle of the wedding planning process. Despite having to give labor in the middle of planning, Justina's continued to impress us with her clear communication on timelines and expectations. She only stepped away from about 2 weeks after labor and resumed with us; just WOW, we wanted to tell her that she should rest more. During the planing process, Justina handles all of the timelines, organization, and paperwork; which saved my husband and I so much time! Justina was especially a godsend for me, as I was working full-time and wrapping up my master's degree in the same year. We loved how she is prepared with templates for us to follow and takes notes of our every meeting. She is also extremely efficient and was conscious of our budget, and tries her best to help us stay within the budget range we specified. Justina has a lot of connections, so her recommendations were helpful and often helped us save time on researching more vendors. Furthermore, Justina is always willing to come out to meet in person when necessary, and she enjoys choosing fabrics and equipment for the wedding with you -- which we thought was so nice. One thing we also noticed is that all the vendors we worked with also had endless praises for Justina.

When it came to actual wedding day, we were surprised by how smooth our wedding event ran. We were prepared to yolo things if things got out of handle, since we have heard a lot of stories from friends about how some of their weddings did not go as planned. Our wedding was a more complicated one as we crammed a lot of events during reception. As the bride, I had one outfit change, we had 7 toast speeches from family/friends, we played the shoe game, and had 3 musical performances prior to opening up the dance floor. Honestly, we did not expect to be able to go through with everything, but Justina made sure we were good on time and we were able to do everything we planned!

We were so happy with our wedding and it was everything we expected. Thanks to Justina, we did not feel nearly as stressed out as we initially thought. Due to Justina's immense experience and professionalism, a daunting planning turned into a piece of cake. I would HIGHLY recommend Justina to everyone to plan their events. She is absolutely amazing and we felt so inspired by her work ethic and reliability. Once again, thank you so much for making our dream wedding come true Justina!

Wedding Planning Stress? Not with Justina!

We first saw Justina in action at our close friends' wedding and were blown away by how smoothly everything ran. They raved about her, so we reached out about 9 months before our own wedding. From our very first call, Justina was incredibly thorough in explaining her services and offered so many helpful tips. We booked her wedding coordinator package, and she was amazing throughout the entire planning process.

Justina was always responsive and provided fantastic suggestions. Two months before the wedding, she really helped us nail down the timeline, which was the most stressful part for us. She even stayed late to make sure we had it perfect and asked all the right questions to ensure everything flowed smoothly. As a bonus, she helped us incorporate some Vietnamese traditions that we didn't know about, which we really appreciated.

Before the big day, Justina did a walk-through of our venue and coordinated with all the vendors to confirm timings. On the wedding day itself, she was an absolute rockstar! She took care of everything and everyone – us, our wedding party, and even our guests. She even helped with our ceremony reception the day before, making sure we were fed and on schedule.

Justina is incredibly reliable, communicative, and organized. We are so thankful we hired her; she made our wedding day truly perfect! Cảm ơn, Chị Justina!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
