    Fantastic Service

    Robin helped us to feel so supported and taken care of throughout the whole process--from months of planning to our big day. We appreciated how she went above and beyond to make the whole thing run smoothly and cannot recommend her enough for any engaged couple planning a wedding!

    A Wedding Pros Favorite Coordinator!

    Janine is an absolute professional when it comes to wedding planning and coordination. As a musician, she was on top of everything from the beginning, helping to organize, gather all the needed information and contacts, and through the entire planning process was there alongside her clients ensuring open and thoughtful communication and coordination. She is definitely the type of person you want by your side during your wedding planning, and we really can't wait to work with her again and again!

    Wedding Planner Review

    I was very pleased with Robin, whom was our day of coordinator. She was extremely professional and also helped keep my wife and I grounded through our wedding planning process. We were very pleased with Robin.

    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!

    Great Corporate Event Execution

    Lace and Champagne executed a great Fall Festival for our Baker Home Energy employee appreciation event this year. The team went above and beyond to make sure that every detail was thought through and that we remained on budget.

    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!

    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!

    Lace & Champagne Events's reply:

    It was such a pleasure to be able to work with both of you! I know Covid made things oh so more complicated but it was such a beautiful celebration which made it worth the wait. Love you guys and wishing you both the most relaxing honeymoon ever. - Janine

    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!

    Lace & Champagne Events's reply:

    Thank you Taylor and Drake for trusting us with your wedding day.
    It was an honor to be part of your celebration. Wishing you both all the best with the adventures ahead for both of you. Hugs, Janine

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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 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!

    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!
