Highly recommend!

JLM Design & Events was great to work with! I wouldn't have changed a thing. Johanna kept me on track leading up to my wedding day and remaining flexible through the whole process. She was readily available to answer any questions or concerns I had when planning my wedding and get great advice. Her day of coordination was great and really took the stress off of my and my groom. I would highly recommend JLM Design & Events!

Johanna and her team leave no stone unturned when it comes to your big day. She guided us through one of the most stressful days in a person's life and made it all seem so easy. We had no worries in the world. She ensured that everything ran smoothly with a smile the whole time. I would not hesitate or wait to reach out to the JLM team, you won't regret it. Thanks again Johanna for being there for us every step of the way!!!!

Friendly, Organized, Trustworthy, 10/10 Experience

If I could give 6/5 stars, I would. Truly cannot say enough about Johanna and her team. From the very first phone call that I had with Johanna, I could tell she cared and was excited to get to know me and my now husband. I quickly wanted to get the contract locked in because of this.

After this step, Johanna immediately jumped in to walk us through organization and steps needed prior to the big day. Every meeting we had with her felt like hanging out with a friend, in the best way. Johanna often stayed way past the time she allotted for us just laughing and getting to know us on a personal level. I’m not sure she knows how much we truly valued the time she spent with us.

She has so much experience and knowledge about the wedding industry as well as event management. Her unique background in managing construction makes her above the rest. Whether it’s guiding you through a rain plan, pointing you to a reliable vendor for last minute hiccups, or even offering fun late night snack/ favor ideas – Johanna has you covered. There was never a time that she didn’t respond to my emails, texts, calls instantly.

A tropical storm spun up the week of our wedding and it ultimately dumped 4 inches of rain on our entire outdoor wedding. This didn’t seem to phase Johanna in the slightest. Her and her team put on their rain boots, zipped up their jackets, and proceeded to decorate our entire tent, manage all of the vendors, and made the day feel as if the sun was shining & everything was going as originally planned. I never felt stressed about the event itself because I knew JLM had it all covered.

We love Johanna and words truly cannot express our absolute gratitude for her and her team. Without a doubt will highly recommend her for our entire lives moving forward.
