Rue 29 Napa Valley

Janice was our dream wedding planner come true! The thought of planning a wedding in California from Texas while working full time and being a full time student was overwhelming, and as soon as I spoke to Janice, I felt at ease. She is extremely knowledgeable of the Napa area, detail oriented, thoughtful, full of wonderful vendor recommendations, and follows through extraordinarily quickly on the many to-dos of planning -- no waiting for a response or following up with Janice; she's on top of it and reminding me to take care of my own to-dos (exactly what I needed!). She was flexible and understanding on things I felt strongly about and took the lead to make recommendations on things I didn't have a strong perspective on. When a record heat wave hit Napa the day before our wedding, Janice seamlessly connected with every single vendor to move our ceremony & reception times back 1 hr to allow for the temperatures to drop in seemingly light speed time - I didn't even have time to worry before she had solved it all! Everything about our wedding was as or better than we hoped and I can't imagine it without Janice!

Planning a destination wedding certainly has its challenges, but when I met Janice, Owner of Rue 29 in Napa at the venue, I knew my daughter and her fiance were in good hands!! From the moment we met, I could see that Janice had the experience and knowledge necessary to create a seamless event -- and that she certainly did. She was able to answer our questions and/or concerns quickly and with certainty to put our minds at ease -- and we were thousands of miles away from the venue. In addition, Janice has a personality that is a pleasure to be around and work with; she is a good listener and does an excellent job understanding the wishes of the bride and groom and bringing their dreams to reality. By the time the weekend of the event rolled around, and as the Mother of the Bride, I had not a care in the world knowing that Janice had orchestrated and coordinated everything I could possibly have thought of (and beyond) seamlessly. On the day of the event, I was in awe of the beauty and elegance that was displayed at the event through the vendors that Janice recommended and coordinated. When someone is in busines as long as Janice has been as a wedding planner, there is no doubt that she moves through the process with ease and confidence and certainly removes any concerns about food, timing, vendors, etc. Thank you Janice!!! Your hard work, caring and excellent expertise behind the scenes helped to make my daughter's wedding day magical. I highly recommend Janice Twomey, owner/operator of Rue

From the first interview call and throughout the planning and execution process, Janice at Rue 29 Napa was very professional, extremely knowledgeable about the Napa area and instrumental in achieving the perfect rehearsal dinner for our 90 guests. I live 2,500 miles away from Napa and she instilled in me the utmost confidence that we would achieve a shared vision for my event - from selecting the venue, to flowers, transportation, menu and wines, Janice's recommendations were all spot on. She understood what I wanted and worked diligently to make my vision complete. I trusted Janice completely! I would highly recommend her to anyone wanting to plan the perfect event.
