    You would be so LUCKY to have J. Hill as your planner!

    I am throwing my hat in the ring of HUNDREDS of happy couples and organizations who’ve used J. Hill Events for their event. Jan was my wedding planner for our big day this fall and here’s the one thing you’ve gotta know for sure: I could NOT have done this without her! She is the quintessential, highly knowledgeable, extremely well-connected, efficient, creative, elegant and professional planner. Even though I ended up doing my wedding in a city where she had zero connections, she still was able to work her magic and help me have the best day ever between a mix of old and new vendors alike. Not only does she come with all the great ideas you never thought of, but she’s there for you professionally, mentally and emotionally as well. Jan was the best sounding board for me during our planning months, she intuitively understood the type of bride I was and where she really shined was on the day-of the event. She was the reason I was able to magically float throughout my day unbothered, happy and enjoying every moment! She tackled problems I didn’t even know existed - the hallmark of a great planner! She paused amidst the whirlwind that is a wedding to tell me how stunning I looked. Every single detail was expertly handled without me having to touch a thing. I can’t say enough good things about Jan, other than she is phenomenal and you would be so LUCKY to have her as your planner!

    Best Planner In the Biz

    Jan is fantastic!!! She is so detailed, wise, experienced and CALM!!! Which is everything a frantic bride with the stress of a bigger wedding than planned begins to materialize. Being a “Quarantine Bride” really had its challenges and Jan was so sweet, understanding and most of all flexible. She helped our 250 country club wedding turn to a 11 person small wedding with over 200 guests via Zoom, and it was so beautiful! Jan is fantastic! So whether you are a bride with a clear vision or a bride who doesn’t have a clue J.Hill Events is the place for you!!!

    Working with Jan was what can I say, “life changing”. We’d gone through hell and back with our wedding planning prior to being introduced to this magnificent person. From natural disasters, to lazy planners, venue issues and so much more. We hired her for month of and somehow she managed to pick up all the pieces and run with them. Beautifully assembling our pile of mess to what turned out to be the most amazing day of our lives. She worked with a ton of vendors to turn a huge airplane hangar into a dreamy wedding and graciously herding our wedding guests the day of. Take it from someone who has experienced multiple wedding planners, Jan is and was the best. Hands down. We love you Jan and thank you so very, very much for all that you did for James and I. We’re still dreaming about all that you made possible.

    We began planning our wedding 2 years in advance and Jan was with us every step of the way. To countless number of vendors, venues, etc. Jan was our guiding light. I appreciated her southern belle charm, sensitivity, and something about her spirit always put a calmness over me in times of uncertainty that everything would be alright. This is what makes Jan a step above the rest. My husband didn't see the need to necessarily have a planner but after our experience with Jan and her bringing our vision to life he had no reservations that she did a phenomenal job. If you are looking for a planner with careful attention to detail, professionalism, a kind heart, someone to put your heart at rest, coupled with professionalism, I highly recommend Jan with no reservations. I have no doubt that as she did with our wedding, she'll make your dreams come true.

    What can I say about Jan!? She made our wedding day absolutely spectacular! From the interview to the big day, she was there for us and got us whatever we needed. Through the entire process (which was about two years), we developed a friendship in addition to our business relationship. She's an absolute sweetheart but firm and direct in her approach. She'll keep you on budget and on track with your timeline. Her communication skills are on point, she's extremely accessible. Of all the money I spent for my wedding, I would hire again and again (let's hope I won't have to *smile*). If you're looking for a wedding planner, look no further!

    My experiences with La Fete Weddings and Events were simply outstanding! When I contacted La Fete for assistance with my wedding, I had very few ideas and no sense of how to begin. Jan, of La Fete, walked my fiancé and me through every detail from venue shopping and the guest list to wedding entertainment and decor. I can't imagine how I would have executed my Miami destination wedding without the assistance of Jan. She was extremely professional and knowledgeable about the wedding industry and knew how to keep my special day within our budget. She even assisted with the planning of our Welcome Reception, contents of the welcome bags and our post-wedding brunch. And, the vendors she recommended were just as phenomenal as she was. I cannot say enough about Jan and La Fete Weddings and Events! If you are interested in someone helping you create and execute your vision, walking you through each step of your wedding and for someone who will be there when you need them, look no further than La Fete Weddings. You will not be disappointed! In fact, selecting La Fete and Jan was the best decision I made, after saying yes to the proposal. I can't wait to plan my next event with their services!

    It was an absolute joy and pleasure working with Jan. From the time we met at the venue to the day of the wedding she was very organized and helped make the event planning process much easier than it would have been alone. I am still hearing from some of my guest that the day of my wedding was like a "silent command", meaning everything was executed to perfection without any commotion. Everyone knew exactly what to do and when. It was an absolutely beautiful event and I know I owe it all to Jan for her complete professionalism, organization, and ability to bring my vision to fruition. I am thankful and blessed for having her referred to me and I would refer her to anyone else who is planning any event, especially one as special as their wedding day.

    Jan was my lifeline for our wedding! She helped us plan, prepare and enjoy the happiest day of our lives. I could not have had the day of my dreams without her insight, support and experience. I have already recommended her to several people and want to find a reason for a party so I can use her again!

    What can I say about Jan McBee?... On a scale of 1-10, she is an 11!!! We hired Jan very late in the game-- only about a month before our wedding. We thought we could get away without a day-of coordinator, but as the day got closer and closer, we realized just how necessary she was! So with one short month to plan, she jumped right in and helped us in planning and thinking about all the details that we probably would have never thought about. She helped us out by meeting at times and places that were convenient for us. She was prompt in all of her responses be it by email, text, phone, etc.. She jumped on conference calls with me and my venue to work out some last minute kinks. So-- all of this, not to mention, the day of--- It is because of Jan that our day ran as smoothly as it did. She knows what she is doing, she runs things with grace, is polite, calming to the bridal party, and gets things done! Above all, she is just a great person! I could tell she sincerely cares about the couples she works with and loves what she does. Her kind words to my husband and I the night before our wedding meant the world to us! Jan, we loved working with you and I would recommend you to anyone!!!!! Thank you!!!

    Jan was wonderful! Since the first time I spoke to her on the phone I knew she was the perfect wedding planner for me, she was able to turn into reality everything that I had envisioned for my wedding... on our first meeting she had pictures and ideas from our previous conversation. I was extremely impressed of her professionalism and responsiveness... and the day off she mad sure everything would go as planned. All I can say is I highly recommend Jan, honestly for the price and services I doubt it gets better than her... My wedding was perfection and I thank her for that!

    Jan was an absolutely joy to work with. Initially, I didn't know what direction I wanted to take, but she helped envision exactly what I wanted and helped make it come true. She's extremely creative and such a visionary. I set specific timelines for planning my wedding within 6 months, and she helped me achieve everyone with minimal to no stress. Jan is very flexible and dependable. If you need to make any changes, she goes above and beyond to accommodate. She answered every question I had, thoroughly. Her passion for this business simply shines through her smile and personality in a way I've never seen before. She really cares about her clients and their needs. If you need to talk about anything, whether it be about your wedding or not, she's there to listen, and that's a rare gift for those brides who are stressed during the planning process. Several people told me that I was one of the calmest brides they've seen. Although I'm fairly mild mannered, I owe a lot of my calmness to Jan. Because of her professionalism, knowledge of the wedding industry AND taking time to get to really know me, I had absolutely NO worries on my wedding day. I knew I was in good hands. I could not have asked for a more perfect wedding day. Everything and everyone was beautiful, and we had so much fun! I owe it all to Jan. She's the best!!

    Jan was always there to keep us calm, reach out to vendors, get us the best deals she could find and overall was just a sweetheart. She is extremely easy to work with and listens to all concerns. You will be lucky to snatch her up for your future event.

    She Had Us At Hello. Jarod and I met Jan McBee through a mutual friend of ours and we are so grateful for that introduction. From the first meeting, we knew that she would be the one to guide us through one of the most precious moments in our lives. Jan's beautiful personality and enthusiasm for her work let us know that we were going to see the wedding of our dreams become a reality. Jan set us up with some of the most outstanding vendors! From the awesome photographer, to the budget friendly linen, to the most delicious cake we have ever tasted, she made it happen! She walked with us through this one year journey and went above and beyond the call of duty. She was always available when we needed her and provided guidance to a young bride and groom when times were not so pleasant. Jan not only handled business but she was able to build a personal relationship with us, something not everyone is capable of doing. Needless to say, our wedding was beyond what our imaginations could have ever fathomed and we are still getting calls about what a great time everyone had, I mean our guest didn't want the day to end! We fell in love with Jan and look forward to working with her in the future, she has become part of our family!

    Jan is a great planner to work with. She eased me through my numerous panic attacks that occured during the planning process. She was very receptive and open minded to my vision for the wedding and even helped to fill in the gaps. I must have changed my mind a thousand times and Jan was patient with me everytime :-). She kept in touch with us on a weekly to daily basis and advised us on the tasks that needed to be done by certain dates. The wedding day was orchestrated very well and went off without a hitch. What we are pleased the most about Jan is that once we told her what our budget was for the entire wedding, she worked with the vendors to make sure we stayed within those guidelines and even recommended great alternatives when we were peeking over our limit. It was a pleasure working with her!
