⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 — Exceptional Wedding Planning & Day-Of Coordination by Janet (aka Lali)

Hiring Janet (Lali) as our wedding planner, decorator, and day-of coordinator was one of the BEST decisions we made for our wedding. From the moment we booked her, she was incredibly professional, warm, and organized — truly the definition of what every couple hopes for when planning their big day. Extremely budget friendly and she offers different packages to fit what each bride/couple is possibly looking for.

Her communication was flawless, and she consistently guided us with questions for our vendors that I never would’ve thought to ask. Her experience is unmatched, and it shows in every decision she makes. I only had to show her a few ideas from my Pinterest board and share my color palette, and she brought my entire floral vision to life. Our bouquets, arrangements, and décor were absolutely perfect — elegant, cohesive, and better than anything I imagined.

On the wedding day, Janet and her assistant kept everything running like a perfectly oiled machine. They handled the timeline, vendors, transitions, and every small detail with such ease that I never once felt stressed. What truly blew us away was how she went above and beyond — bussing and clearing tables throughout the reception, even though that wasn’t her responsibility at all. She saw a need and instantly stepped up so our day would remain flawless.

And let me brag for a moment: Janet decorated our entire ceremony arch, every centerpiece, and our sweetheart table, bridal bouquet, bridal party bouquets, groom and groomsmen’s pocket arrangements and family floral arrangements— and each piece looked like something straight out of a magazine. Her eye for design is unreal. She asked if I wanted to view the arrangements prior to the big day and I told didn’t need to because of how impressed I was with her prior arrangements.

I truly wish weddings weren’t a once-in-a-lifetime event, because I would hire Janet again and again. She made our day seamless, beautiful, and unforgettable. If you’re looking for someone who is talented, dependable, creative, and genuinely invested in your happiness — Janet is the one.

Couldn’t have had this wedding without Janet

My husband and I went into our first meeting with Janet only having the major details sorted out (colors, venue, etc). She helped us think of the smaller details like guest book, signs, etc. and provided the decorations for the venue. She was truly phenomenal and we couldn’t have had our wedding without her. She made sure the day went smoothly and provided all the decorations and florals. There were no hiccups throughout the day and everything was stunning. My only regret is not hiring her earlier!

Best Day Ever

This wedding was a life dream for both Chris and Tiffani. Everything was a dream for them, and you gave that dream to them. Everyone made them feel special and beautiful. Decor was perfect, venue was more than we could ask for. And you did it all. Food, photos, music. Thank you

Unforgettable winter wedding planner

Janet Brown (Lali's Loft) was an absolute dream to work with and brought our romantic winter-themed wedding to life with unparalleled creativity and care. Her attention to detail was impeccable, especially with the stunning floral arrangements she crafted, which perfectly captured the frosty elegance we envisioned. She went above and beyond by providing access to her extensive supply room, filled with decor and essentials that enhanced our day—all included in her incredibly fair price. Every element, from the shimmering centerpieces to the cozy accents, felt personalized and magical, making our wedding unforgettable.
Her professionalism and resourcefulness ensured everything ran smoothly, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the joy of the day. She anticipated our needs, offered thoughtful suggestions, and executed our vision with such grace that it felt like she was part of the family. We couldn’t have asked for a better planner—her passion and talent made our winter wedding a breathtaking reality, and we wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a flawless, stress-free celebration.
Finally, she proofread all contracts and even helped negotiate prices with vendors to make sure we saved money every where that we could.

Highly Recommended Wedding Planner

I had an incredible experience with my wedding planner. She was meticulous with every detail and never hesitated to offer honest, thoughtful suggestions once something didn’t align with the overall vision. I especially appreciated how thoroughly she reviewed my contract and professionally addressed discrepancies with the venue coordinator. Her execution of both the floral arrangements and the decor for the ceremony and reception was flawless, everything came together beautifully. I couldn’t have asked for a better partner to bring our wedding day to life!

An Unforgettable Day!!

We had the pleasure of working with Janet, from Love by Lali's Loft, as our wedding planner, and we cannot say enough . Janet's thoughtful approach and attention to detail truly made my daughter's special day uniquely hers. From the moment we started planning, she took the time to understand her vision and made sure every aspect of the day reflected who she and her fiancé are as a couple.
Not only did Janet personalize every detail of the wedding, but she also went above and beyond to ensure that every guest had an amazing experience. From the decor to the wedding day activities, everything was meticulously planned to create a memorable and seamless event. All we had to do is sit back and enjoy the wedding without having to worry about anything.
Thanks to Janet's expertise and organization, the day ran so smoothly, allowing us to relax and enjoy every moment without worrying about a thing. Her professionalism and dedication were truly exceptional, and we couldn't have asked for a better wedding planner.
If you're looking for someone who will make your wedding day truly special and unforgettable, we highly recommend Love by Lali's Loft.

Excellent Planner

We worked with Janet for our wedding on October 26th in Norfolk, VA. From the beginning of our interaction, Janet was a delight to work with. She helped us realize our vision for the wedding and helped with many details throughout. She is really a better value than you would think from a day-of coordinator. Our wedding would not have gone as well without her. Highly recommended.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
