It was a true pleasure working with Jobelle.
Jobelle was amazing and extremely professional! She is quick on her responses and is very thorough. She made me feel at ease during the whole wedding process. Any question I had she answered and she went above and beyond for us. I just can’t express how grateful my husband and I are! Thank you so much!♥️Jobelle was amazing and extremely professional!

Highly Recommend Wedding Planner
We are SO grateful for Jobelle and the Belle Events team! She kept us organized throughout the planning process and provided monthly focus items to complete.

I would recommend Belle Events to any friends and family that need a planner and day of coordinator.

Jobelle did an absolutey amazing job coordinating our wedding. We hired Belle Events about 10 months before our wedding date for month of coordination. Jobelle was able to offer her expertise and insight to assist in a smooth event. She was flexible with any timeline changes and helped all of us stay on time during the event. Since we had a decent amount of guests, she brought one of her assistants who helped with the event as well. Jobelle was extremely organized, communicated well, on-time, and really helped make our day extra special. I highly recommend her and I am so glad I went with the decision to hire Belle Events.Jobelle did an absolutey amazing job coordinating our wedding.

Absolutely detailed
Jobelle was an amazing day of coordinating planner. She sat with us at the open house and got everything for our venue. Any vendor information, any questions asked, she took care of it. On the day before and the day of the wedding, she had everyone on the same page in mere moments. Detailed, punctual, informative, gives good ideas, just all around the best person you can get for an event.Jobelle was an amazing day of coordinating planner.

Dream Day!
I hired Jobelle just as a Day of Coordinator. Jobelle made my day so much easier , she exceeded what my vision was and made it come to life. She is very organized and makes the timeline, processional, and seating easy to understand. She gave great direction at our rehearsal and made it fast and efficient. I could not recommend her more!I hired Jobelle just as a Day of Coordinator. Jobelle made my day so much easier , she exceeded what my vision was and made it come to life.

The BEST planner in Hampton Roads.
Jobelle is truly a professional in the world of weddings here in Hampton Roads. We purchased her full planning package and she has been incredibly helpful through the entire process all the way from finding available vendors to even finding new dates when we though COVID would shut us down. She has been a world of help and I would recommend here to any new brides in the area. FIVE STARS!Jobelle is truly a professional in the world of weddings here in Hampton Roads.

Exactly what I needed!
Jobelle and I clicked well together. When we would have virtual meetings, she led them confidently and in a very organized manner. She was quick to answer my questions and also upfront if she needed more time to answer my questions. She sent me updates both monthly and when I requested. She reminded me of deadlines and helped take away a lot of stress. On my wedding day I felt confident that it would be a smooth and perfect day and it was! I loved working with Jobelle and am so thankful she was my planner.Jobelle and I clicked well together. When we would have virtual meetings, she led them confidently and in a very organized manner.

Best Decision
Hiring Jobelle as our Day-of Coordinator was the best decision we could have made. I had a strong vision (and a tight budget) so I knew I was going to DIY most things, but I also really wanted someone there to help make sure the day went smoothly (transitioning of events, coordinating with vendors, helping setup, etc.). Jobelle and her assistant Harley made us feel so at ease and confident. Our day had just a couple of hiccups -- the wind was too strong for most of our table decor and the dessert delivery was canceled without warning -- but with Jobelle and Harley near, everything worked out just fine. I could not recommend them enough!Hiring Jobelle as our Day-of Coordinator was the best decision we could have made.

Awesome Event Planner!
Jobelle was an amazing asset to our wedding day! She checked in with all of the vendors and handled the final details, timeline management, and ensured the day ran smoothly. As the bride, I did not have any worries when I knew Jobelle was there.Jobelle was an amazing asset to our wedding day!

Great Day-of-Coordinator!
We needed a day-of coordinator for our small wedding at The Cavalier Hotel in Virginia Beach. Belle was extremely helpful in pulling our day together, so that I wouldn't have any stress! She made sure everything was set-up and pot together correctly. She listened to what we wanted and made sure that came together on our wedding day!We needed a day-of coordinator for our small wedding at The Cavalier Hotel in Virginia Beach.

Don't Wait! Hire Today!
We hired Jobelle fairly late (about 60 days before our wedding) in the planning process. Originally, we were going to try and do without a day of coordinator in order to save a little bit of money. Let me tell you, don’t wait! Hire Jobelle today! She is going to fill up fast and you will regret not having her as your planner or day of coordinator.
Every meeting we had with Jobelle was fantastic. She is supper detail ordinated like us and didn’t miss a single item. She went above and beyond in everything that she did. On our big day she arrived early and did a great job getting our few last minute items set up.
I can’t describe in words how fantastic she was, and would recommend her to all of my friends.We hired Jobelle fairly late (about 60 days before our wedding) in the planning process.

Worth it! This is promise you!
Jobelle was someone I didn't know I needed. I originally got her as my Day Of Coordinator. She gave me EVERYTHING needed to stay organized. But it got EXTREMELY stressful and overwhelming. I had convinced my fiancé to upgrade her to partial. Thank god I did. Overall, it was a great experience and she was a great support. Even my vendors were bragging about how much they loved her! Bonus! She's affordable. I would 100% recommend her as a wedding coordinator.Jobelle was someone I didn't know I needed. I originally got her as my Day Of Coordinator.

1st Time Bride
I think it is important to give both positive and negative feedback because weddings are one of the most important events filled with stress, excitement, anxiety, and constant change. Planning a wedding in an unfamiliar location plus a pandemic one can only imagine right? When my fiancé and initially met with Jobelle around September 2019 she appeared to be knowledgeable, easy to work with, and affordable. Her reviews are great so we decided to partner with her.
During the initial phases of our planning process, things were off. I noticed my name being misspelled…she was unsure of the ceremony start time when speaking with vendors, and misspelling names of people in our wedding party when discussing the line-up.
Now, she was ALWAYS aware the majority of our guests would be traveling from out of state. The hotel accommodation was the biggest concern, securing hotel blocks close to our venue. The initial set of blocks were nowhere close to our venue. The explanation provided was there were none available. Mind you, we signed a contract with her in September/October 2019 our wedding was scheduled for mid-June 2020. I thought that was odd but sure ok we are not from the area. Due to COVID we postponed our 2020 date to 2021. I provided her a list of 10 or so hotels on the oceanfront in June or July and by October 2020 there were room blocks for three of those oceanfront properties I found...
Honestly, our experience with Jobelle was just disappointing. I always felt she talked in circles…never seemed to know what was going on when we did meet. I found myself going behind her to make sure things were done:
Examples:
1.) I had to ask her twice to contact the nail salon for a refund from the paid deposit.
2.) The photographer she initially recommended… who never met us, kept emailing me about a deposit. I had to ask her to reach out to the lady to stop contacting me.
3.) She said she would assist in calling our vendors about our date change for 2021 to 2022 due to the ongoing pandemic in an email conversation. A few days later in a Skype call, she asked me if I contacted the venue? After that, I told her I would contact them myself.
In her contract, it said she would help manage the guest list and RSVPs that never happened, and again not sure how that's supposed to work but she never obtained a copy of our guest list. Never asked for a copy to assist with this.
Due to COVID we are not able to have the wedding we have been planning for. We provided this update to her about one week ago and two or three weeks after a general meeting we had via Zoom. Now I would think a planner in our area with strict gathering guidelines would stay in communication with us as time moves forward. Nope did not happen. When we reached out to Jobelle about postponing to 2022 she then decided to inform us she wouldn’t be available next year! Ok, but as a planner wouldn’t you think to inform us first? After our final phone call, I thought we were done and I made it clear our relationship was over. She said she could provide details of our wedding to the next coordinator…and I could reach out to her for anything. No thanks.
In the end, we paid Belle Events to find us vendors and facilitate emails. Something I could have done for free. So now, we have to pay another couple hundred or thousand plus dollars for a day off or partial coordinator. Someone we can trust who will facilitate the rehearsal, decorating…I don’t know. I wish her well but this was not what I anticipated with Belle Events.
