A Hero can mean many different things to people. Someone who saves the day. Someone who is courageous. Someone who has great strength and ability. Someone who is known for their achievements and noble qualities. To me, Jana is all the above ... and then some!! We are from Cleveland, OH and found Jana through researching BEST wedding planners in Fort Myers/Naples, FL. There was something about Jana when we first spoke that really resonated with us. We felt a connection and we were confident that our wedding would be in good hands. Our daughter's wedding was going to be on Captiva Island, Thanksgiving weekend, 11/26/22. Little did we know that Mother Nature had other plans in mind for Captiva Island. On September 23, 2022, just 2 months before our wedding week, Hurricane Ian destroyed Sanibel & Captiva Island, specifically our daughter's dream wedding venue, South Seas Resort. After 2 weeks of many tears, much frustration, and the unknown of whether there would be a wedding, Jana sprung in to action and found a little resort in the Florida Keys that miraculously was available and had enough rooms for our 125 guests. With little more than 6 weeks to flip our wedding, Jana, The Wedding Hero, picked us up (mentally) and was able to mobilize our vendors who were all on board with the shift to the Florida Keys. With so many new challenges and so little time, Jana was able to help us pull off the wedding of our daughter's dreams. Nothing can replace beautiful Captiva Island, but we fell in love with The Islander Resort, Islamorda, FL, and Jana, together with her amazing staff and dream team of vendors, pulled off the BEST wedding we could have possibly imagined. If you are on the fence about hiring a wedding planner, just remember that you NEVER know when you will need a HERO to save the day!

Her name says it all! Jana the Wedding Hero was absolutely the hero of my November 2022 destination wedding.

I could tell on our very first phone call that Jana is as professional as it gets! She means business, takes her work seriously and gets shit DONE but also has fun along the way. Jana helped us secure a date at my dream venue - South Seas Island Resort on Captiva Island. I had dreamed of a wedding at South Seas ever since I vacationed there with my family many years ago. My wedding vision was centered around this venue and island, and we spent most of 2022 planning together.

Less than two months before my wedding date, Hurricane Ian came barreling toward Southwest Florida. Captiva was evacuated and the causeway, (the one road onto the island) was completely destroyed, so we had to wait patiently until staff could reach the grounds to assess. It caused historic damage. Jana was incredibly composed, realistic, and professional through this entire tragedy - even though her own neighborhood suffered greatly from the storm as well!

At first I could not even begin to fathom having my wedding anywhere else, Captiva was my dream! Changing our date seemed near impossible - everything was planned, travel was booked, and we had no idea when South Seas could reopen. I was very hesitant, but after a week or so, I gave Jana the go ahead to seek out other venues available on our date. Since much of SWFL was harmed by the hurricane, this was no easy task… especially with the standards that South Seas had set. I was devastated and needed a FABULOUS venue with a similar tropical vibe to get me excited about my wedding again.

Jana sprung into action and miraculously found a stunning resort down in Islamorada (Florida Keys) that was available. The Islander resort is as tropical and beautiful as it gets! Six weeks before my wedding date, I gave Jana the green light and she got to work. She had to do quite a bit of coordinating with our previously secured vendors, who were willing to travel down to Islamorada. We worked together to somewhat redesign the ceremony and reception. Figuring out the room block and accommodations for 130 guests was a challenge so last minute. There was an enormous amount of work to be done in just six weeks - but Jana did it!

By the time wedding week came around, I had pretty much gotten all the stress out of my system. I was just thrilled that it was all finally happening! I was able to enjoy my wedding week so much more because I knew Jana had everything under control. After all we went through, I could not have been more happy with the outcome. It was truly the best day of our entire lives, and we wouldn’t have changed a thing looking back. The entire time we were there, we kept saying “this feels like Plan A”

Jana and her AMAZING team brought my design vision to life and made it better than I could have ever dreamed. Her staff is incredible - so on the ball and professional. I was able to be so present and enjoy every minute of my big day because I knew everything was handled. My wedding was everything I could’ve wished for and MORE, and if you want the same for your day, I recommend working with Wedding Hero. Jana will not only save the day, but take your wedding beyond your wildest dreams.
