    Truly Perfect Day Thanks to Janine

    Working with Janine from Lace and Champagne Events was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. We booked the “Mend the End” package, and it ended up being exactly what we needed. From the moment Janine stepped in, everything felt easier. She was incredibly organized, calm, and genuinely pleasant to work with, the kind of person you immediately trust with something as important as your wedding day. On the day itself, she executed everything flawlessly. Every detail was handled, the timeline flowed seamlessly, and we were actually able to be fully present and enjoy the day without worrying about a single thing. She anticipated needs before they even came up and kept everything running smoothly behind the scenes. Looking back, our wedding truly turned out perfectly, and that’s largely because of Janine. There’s honestly not a thing we would change, which feels rare to say about a wedding. You will be in the best hands possible with Janine!

    Stress Free Coordinator

    If you think you don't need a day of coordinator, trust me--you do. Janine is that girl!! My husband and I decided to plan our wedding in just under two months and it was daunting. Lace and Champagne Events was recommended to us by our venue Stone Brewing and it was the perfect fit. She's so flexible, provided us with great guides and recommendations and kept us on track. We really appreciate that she was able to meet with us and understood exactly what we wanted and what we didn't. It includes a lot more than just seeing her the day of, she's a wealth of knowledge the entire time. She was familiar with the space, communicated with all of our vendors, and kept everything moving as it should. We had an issue with some of the wedding party not showing, Janine was ready and kept me calm haha. I am a classic overthinker and she allowed me to be fully present and enjoy the day while she took care of all the extra details. Again, i think most people are planning a wedding for the first time and try to cut where you can. Do yourself a favor, hire Janine and this woman will literally relieve you of so much stress from the whole process. Highly recommend!!

    THE Dream Team Coordinators

    We hired Lace and Champagne for day-of coordination, and Janine and Arianna were honestly incredible.

    Even though we booked them for day-of services, it felt like we had a full support team making sure nothing slipped through the cracks. They brought such a calm, confident energy that immediately made us feel like we were in good hands.

    A week before the wedding, rain was in the forecast, and Janine had already coordinated with the venue to make sure the pop-up tents were ready if needed. That preparation put our minds at so much ease.

    On the wedding day, they moved like a SEAL team. Efficient, organized, and somehow everywhere at once. Every detail and the schedule were handled so smoothly that we were able to just fully enjoy, spend time with friends and family, and soak (almost quite literally) in the day without worrying about logistics.

    So much of what made our wedding feel effortless was because of them working behind the scenes. We’re beyond grateful for Lace and Champagne. Could not recommend them more.

    Thank you Janine and Adrianna!

    Lace & Champagne Events were fantastic to work with. My wife and I needed a day of coordinator as part of the contract with our wedding venue and Lace & Champagne were one of our venue's recommended vendors, and it's easy to see why. We got to work with Janine, the owner of L&C, as our month of coordinator and she was fantastic at helping us organize the final details of our wedding. Janine answered many of our questions in the months leading up to our wedding and in the month of our wedding provided even more support by providing us clear checklists that we can follow as well as advice on how to structure our wedding timeline to make it as smooth as possible. We were a little slow on getting some of our last decorations ideas to her and her team but even with the short notice she made sure our vision came to life. The day of the wedding was a whirlwind but her and her assistant, Adrianna, handled the set up and made sure myself and my wife were able to use the time before the ceremony to clear our minds and not worry about setting everything up. They worked with our DJ, photographer, and vendors to keep a concise timeline and make sure everything went smoothly from ceremony to reception. Adrianna stayed till the very end and quarter backed the venue staff to make sure everything was broken down quickly and all our personal items and decorations made it back with us! We'd recommend Lace & Champagne to any of our friends who plan to get married in San Diego County for their professionalism, clear communication and for how kind and helpful Janine and her team was with answering even the most basic of questions.

    Thank you, Janine and Adrianna, for all that you did!

    Best decision ever!

    Hiring Janine and her team was the best thing I could have done for my wedding. She helped us navigate the entire process, had expertise and experience with local vendors that was invaluable, and her communication was prompt, professional, and helped level up our vision to create the most extraordinary day. I could not imagine this process without Janine. She handled all the important details and on the day I didn’t have to worry about a thing except enjoying my own wedding!

    Great Wedding Coordinator & Person

    Janine did an absolutely phenomenal job ensuring that we had an incredible wedding day and weekend. Even though we only hired Janine for a month of service, she was always available to answer our questions and provided excellent recommendations that helped us build a dream vendor team. Throughout the actual wedding, Janine handled everything so well and ensured that the two of us were unaware of any mishaps or questions from other wedding guests and/or vendors. meaning we just got to focus on having the best time. In our eyes, and those of our guests, everything ran smoothly and many said it was one of the best weddings that they had ever been to. We loved working with Janine! She's a wonderful human being and is passionate about ensuring your vision is met while helping to guide you in just the right way.

    Expectional

    When my husband and I set a date for our wedding, the very first decision we made was to hire Janine, and looking back, it was undoubtedly the best choice we made throughout the entire planning process. From the moment we met her, Janine took the time to truly understand our aesthetic as a couple, guiding us patiently through every detail and offering tailored suggestions for each vendor we selected.

    What stood out most was how easy it was to talk to her; she truly felt like a friend we had known for years. Her warm and approachable demeanor made every conversation enjoyable, and we always felt comfortable sharing our ideas and concerns.

    Janine’s detail-oriented approach was exceptional. She was consistently checking in with us to ensure we felt supported and stress-free. Her meticulous organization kept everything on track—she helped refine our vision into a cohesive design, set up appointments, and provided a comprehensive plan of action complete with checklists. With her assistance, we could focus on each other and the joy of planning our special day, even with our busy work schedules.

    On the day of the wedding, Janine radiated calm and confidence, ensuring that everything ran smoothly. Her presence was a reassuring anchor, making us feel supported and relatively stress-free. She even assisted with our after-party, ensuring every detail was executed flawlessly.

    Janine was an indispensable partner in our wedding journey, and she made our special day truly unforgettable. We couldn’t have done it without her. Thank you, Janine! We love you and are eternally grateful for your incredible contributions.

    We had an amazing day thanks to Lace and Champagne Events!!

    We had a great day! We owe it in large part to how Janine planned the timeline and then executed it the day-of. She and her assistant were very professional and helpful. She took care of all the details day of so that we could just feel free to enjoy ourselves and visit with our friends and family! We felt we were in good hands when she talked us through all the extra details we hadn’t thought about during the planning process. It was very reassuring to be able to plan during the month leading up to the wedding. Would highly recommend Lace and Champagne Events, it was definitely money well spent!!

    Wedding Coordinator

    We had a magical day and wanted to post our sincere thanks to Janine at Lace and Champagne Events for our wedding this past Saturday. Janine stepped in the month before and helped to tie everything together in the end. She was so instrumental in helping with the seating and table arrangements as this was probably my biggest stress of the planning process. She was so easy to work with and had a very calming presence. She was super responsive and went above and beyond by picking up my donuts for my donut bar the morning of the wedding. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a wedding coordinator, Janine, she was great.

    Amazing wedding coordinator

    Janine was so amazing at helping us out everything together for our wedding! We hired her as a day of planner and right from the beginning all her guides she sent us were so helpful in the planning process! I was really worried the day of putting all the decorations together but Janine took that worry away she set everything up for us so beautifully so I didn’t have to stress one bit. I was amazed at how everything looked it was better than what I had envisioned! I would recommend her 1000x we were so happy with how everything turned out!

    Incredible- the best planner!

    Janine and Robin were absolute rockstars. We hired them for our recent wedding and truly, they were the best. I didn’t have to think of a single thing as far as logistics go the day of our wedding. They handled it all with grace and smiles on their faces. I can’t thank them enough for going above and beyond for us. 10/10 recommend this dynamic duo to bring to life your big day. I trusted them wholly and would do it all over again with them by my side!

    Highly recommend!

    Janine and Robin of Lace and Champagne Events were absolutely incredible and did such an amazing job for the coordination of our wedding. They were both so calm and thanks to them our wedding went smoothly and seamlessly. I spoke with Janine several times before the wedding and we put together a timeline which was so helpful for the day of the wedding. She coordinated with all of the vendors and made sure everyone knew where to be and when. Robin ran the ceremony rehearsal and put mine and my family's nerves at ease before the big day. Both Janine and Robin even figured out the complicated bustle on my wedding dress of which I am so grateful!

    The two of them make such a great team - our wedding will be a day we will remember so fondly for the rest of our lives and because they took care of all the important details we were able to enjoy our day and have the best time.

    I will highly recommend Lace and Champagne Events to anyone needing a wedding planner and thank them immensely for their wonderful services.

    The number one reason our wedding was perfect!

    THE NUMBER ONE REASON OUR WEDDING WAS PERFECT! BEST EXPERIENCE EVER! If you are debating getting a wedding coordinator, get one and if you have any doubts about who to hire, HIRE JANINE!

    Lace and Champagne was everything we needed on our wedding day and they made sure the day went PERFECTLY!

    We had our wedding at a private residence that was ~170 people with lots of moving parts. This was a complex wedding because no vendors had used the space before and we had to determine the flow, the layout, and odd logistics like trash, how to flip tables, etc.

    We opted for the month of package which is perfect for the bride who likes to be in all the details (like me)! But Janine was amazing and answered questions way before the month started. She sent helpful timeline examples and checklists to get us going on our planning and checked in with me throughout the year.

    Then once the month hit, she was there every step of the way to walk the space with every vendor and ask all the logistical questions you’ll forget. She is organized, professional, super sweet, and can handle mothers, vendors, or anyone else you need her to communicate with in the most professional way. (I would hire her for this reason again - for any party!)

    Something always goes wrong on a wedding day but Janine worked her magic and I didn’t feel like anything went wrong! We got compliment after compliment that it was the smoothest run wedding anyone has ever attended. This was ALL Janine!

    If you don’t hire her you will regret it! Our best decision for our wedding was hiring Lace and Champagne!

    Patient, organized, and overall wonderful

    Janine swooped in and truly saved the day on our wedding that was twice delayed due to COVID and was being planned from 3,000 miles away from the venue location. She was patient, organized, and constantly on point consistently no matter what challenge (including the bride!) came her way. Everything came together so beautifully and that's namely due to her coordination.

    Janine and her team were true life savors throughout the process and during the event. Extremely professional and under control!

    I was the bride that thought I didn’t need a coordinator. I’m in corporate operations, I’ve hosted tons of events, I have a big family that will help me throughout the day, I got this. THANKFULLY, my husband pushed me to my senses and we hired Janine. She was an angel from heaven! Calm, controlled, with all the right questions for the venue, the church, and all the right moves to steer us in the right direction. We couldn’t have pulled-off this amazing event with the various hiccups that come with planning an event, without her & her team. I trusted her so much by the time the event came, I gave her decorations I had purchased and just said “wherever you think these fit, I’ll let it up to you” and the table set-ups looked amazing!

    Janine is the best in the business.

    I can't express our gratitude towards with just words. Janine became a part of our family and her professionalism was second to none. Our wedding was much more than an incredible celebration, it was a three day affair that took over 18 months to plan. She hung in there after we had to cancel our first venue due to COVID. I am no easy person to please, being in the service industry myself. I deal with clients and emotions every day but I could never do what Janine does. I highly recommend lace and champagne and the owner Janine Sofianos!

    So much peace of mind

    Janine was absolutely amazing! I hired her on with less than a month to the big day because communication with the venue became so poor. She stepped in, took control, and all our vendors were so please to work with her as well! She is as sweet as can be and handles all things with such professionalism and grace! So happy I found her!

    Best investment we made for our wedding day!

    Janine was so helpful during the wedding planning process and on the day of my wedding! She’s super easy to talk to, very kind to all my crazy family members, organized, communicative, on time, and a great leader. I would not have gotten through my wedding day without all her help.

    You NEED to hire Lace and Champagne

    You ABSOLUTELY need to hire Lace and Champagne (Janine) for your wedding planning needs. She and her team were AMAZING!! I am not a person who normally posts reviews (good or bad), but I felt compelled to write this review after what was possibly the most positive experience I have had with hiring (or working with) a wedding coordinator.

    Our niece originally hired Janine as a "day of only" planner. But as the wedding approached and the magnitude of the the amount of details/projects/items to do started to culminate (and she was also interviewing for a new job at the same time) she became a bit behind and hired Janine to take over and run the whole project.

    The wedding and reception were at our home in SD (with about 120 people) and Janine and her team with all of her contacts were able to execute on our nieces wedding vision PEFECTLY!!

    Janine is responsive, positive, a great communicator, organized and worked her "butt" off. I cannot imagine the event having worked out as well as it did without her and her team. The bride and the groom were so relaxed (as well as my husband and I) that they were able to enjoy the whole process and the actual wedding. What a great experience.

    Thank you Janine

    Super helpful-made our wedding day a breeze!

    Hired Janine for day of only, but ended up having to change reception venues and brought her on for the whole she-bang. We ended up getting behind and having some hiccups (guest issues, not planning), and Janine was on it, keeping things moving. She worked with the vendors and any one doing anything to ensure we didn’t have a thing to do day of but get married and have fun!

    Detail Oriented to Make the Day Perfect

    Janine, the owner of Lace & Champagne, was a pleasure to work with. She maneuvered us through the Covid-19 restrictions, kept in constant contact, and surpassed our expectations as outlined in the contract. She listened to our requests and followed through. She has a very professional manner and kept calm in the face of changing circumstances. I would highly recommend Lace & Champagne if you want exceptional care for your wedding.

    Janine is THE BEST!!!

    Janine is incredibly professional and truly cared about our wedding just as much as we did! I would hire her again in a heartbeat! She was a lifesaver in being the point of contact during our special day. We had a small wedding with 14 people, but she treated it as if we had 100+ guests. Because of her the wedding program of events was flawless and executed perfectly. Janine has a fun and warm personality that helped me plan my wedding, calm my nerves when things at times did not go as planned (but she stepped up and made sure things were resolved and this was not an issue that happened because of her, it was our venue that was under construction and they did not tell us!). I would recommend her to anyone, any type of wedding and any size!

    Day Of Coordination Bliss

    Janine and her team made sure that none of our details were overlooked in our "vision" for our day. Getting a day of coordinator to insure all vendors are there and on time was well worth it and our day turned out exactly as we imagined. thank you Janine and Team!

    Priceless!

    From the minute I spoke with Janine- every thing about my wedding was significantly better and easier! Not only did she get my vision- she listened to what we really wanted, she helped us make it all happen, helped me make decisions when I really didn’t know the answer and was honestly our wedding angel. My husband and I were able to breathe, relax and enjoy every single minute of our wedding because Janine had it HANDLED! She was beyond accommodating, even helped run errands for us, day of! We were so lucky to find her and work with her. Janine- you are gem and thank you!

    Our wedding

    My husband and I got married on June 29, 2019. Being an event coordinator myself we met with lots of different coordinators to make our day perfect. Our first initial meet with Janine she was warm, kind, smiling, professional, and listened to our vision for our perfect day while still suggesting great options. I knew then that she and her team were the ones we wanted to hire. She kept in constant contact throughout our whole planning time not only with us but all our vendors as well.
    The day of the wedding ran perfectly and any hiccups that came about (because they do) she handled it with ease and professionalism and made my day so incredibly special. The venue was more than I expected and her detailed touches to the decor made for a very personal and intimate setting. I highly recommend Janine Sofianos at Lace and Champagne Events. Trust me you will not be disappointed!

    Amazing service!

    I can't thank Janine enough for all her help to make our event happen. The wedding day went amazing and all of the planning leading up to it was great and she was on it. She answered any questions we had and made sure everyone was on the same page. Janine took care of any small details that came up during the day and she was also prepared with forgotten items like bobby pins. We highly recommend her.

    Janine is AWESOME! From the very first call she took control and it was smooth sailing from there. She went out of her way to make sure the day was prepared to run smoothly! We were so excited ... and relieved! ... to have her there on our big day. I spent a handful of calls chatting with her and she executed perfectly. Could not recommend these services more!

    Lace & Champagne saved the day!

    Hiring a wedding coordinator was the best thing we ever did. It is truly a game changer and will save you (the groom!) tons of stress and probably a few fights. Janine was amazing from start to finish, with her professionalism and experience playing an important role more than once. From our perspective, everything went PERFECTLY. However, we later found out that there were all sorts of complications with the vendors that went down... and she took care of it all without us even knowing or noticing. Finding a last minute videographer after ours went bankrupt? She did that. Baker had a flat tire and almost didn't get the cake there on time? We had no idea as she took care of that too. Back up plans if it rained... covered. An inexperienced planner might have told us of all these emergencies as they happened, causing mountains of stress and concern. Janine saved the day without us even knowing and that is what you want in any event planner. Best money we spent on our wedding.

    Stress-free Wedding Planning!

    Janine did an amazing job planning my wedding this past August. She was a dream to work with - creative, professional, and super super organized. Having only moved to San Diego a few months before from the East Coast before planning my wedding (in San Diego), she had great recommendations for vendors and made what would have been an extremely stressful process (with 95% of the guest from out of town) go very smoothly. She went above and beyond helping with details big & small. All my guests commented on how relaxed I was the week before the wedding & it was thanks to Janine. Highly recommend her :) She pulled together the perfect wedding for me & my husband.

    Destination Wedding - Napa Valley

    We hired Lace and Champagne Events for our wedding in the Napa Valley June 30, 2018. I had planned my wedding, but needed a coordinator to assist me with tying up the loose ends. Janine was able to pull all of my vendors and contracts together to create a timeline. I'm not able to use the internet or bring a cell phone into my place of work, so you can only imagine the difficulty of trying to communicate with all of the vendors in those last few weeks; that's were the assistance from Janine was very helpful. My wedding had a ton of detail and was not all- inclusive and therefore the communication between the vendors had to be excellent, Janine did just that. There are many large personalties amongst my family and wedding party; Janine managed to remain professional, keep to the agenda, and wrangled the troops. I know dealing with all those personalities was not easy. Thank you Lace and Champagne Events for your service, as we really did have the best day of our lives and you contributed to that!

    Janine and her assistant performed "month of" services for our wedding. We selected Janine because of her vivacious personality, calm demeanor and superb background experience. As our coordinator Janine performed admirably while wrestling with the fine details of last minute planning and changes. The majority of reports back from the other vendors say they found her easy to work with and certainly the bulk of her effort was focused on ensuring success for the event location who were dealing with their first full facility buy-out. On the day we, the couple, were blissfully unaware of any issues and tension, and we saw our wedding nail our vision for the day with friends and family. That's the best you can ask for!
