Marifrey E. Sent on 03/05/2024Janice and her team are the absolute BEST and a must-have if you want to enjoy your wedding day!!!
If you're shopping for a wedding planner/coordinator Janice is an absolute must-have!! We got married on February 12, 2024, and not a single day goes by without being in awe of how perfect everything was! Since my first phone call with Janice, I knew she was the one! She asked me where my venue was and was already giving me tips and quoted something from our contract with the venue. I was amazed at how much she knew! I immediately called my husband and told him & he agreed that she'd be the one! Truthfully, our best investment for our wedding was hiring Janice and her team! Everything went so smoothly and my husband and I were able to fully enjoy our day, without having to worry about any of the major or minuscule details! She truly delivered and executed our dream wedding and we could not be more thankful!!!!
I loved every single one of our consultations because we always got the best advice since she literally knows EVERYTHING you need to know about the wedding industry! She gave us things to do every time before our next consultation, and would also give us a list of things we needed that we didn't even think of before she mentioned it!! I also loved the ability to be in consistent communication since we had a destination wedding!! Each time I called she was so sweet! We were also able to get some of our items delivered to her PO Box which was great because we didn't have to take too much luggage!
I'm telling you, you absolutely need a wedding coordinator and the BEST one out there is Janice! Our other vendors even mentioned that every wedding they go to where Janice is the coordinator, everything always runs smoothly! Truthfully, we are absolutely so grateful for Janice, her boyfriend and her team! They really outdid themselves!!!
We had the absolute best day of our lives and couldn't be more grateful for Janice! She truly is such an amazing person with a kind heart and made us feel like the guests of honor at our wedding! Definitely exceeded our expectations!! Truly Janice and BF and team, thank you for playing such a big part in making our wedding dreams come true. Forever grateful and may God continue to bless you, your ohana, and your business always! Thank you SO much!!!!

!!Attention Destination/Budget Wedding Brides!! We hired Janice as our reception day of coordinator and we do not regret it. I was planning our wedding all the way from Florida and I'm glad we trusted her and her team to take care of us on our special day. She helped out beyond just planning our reception. She also gave us tips and advice for our ceremony too, which a different company was handling. I left her instructions and all the decor and she not only set it up like I wanted but she also put her own spin to it which l actually loved more than what I originally wanted. After our reception, her team was very quick to tear down and pack away decor and other miscellaneous items that we were taking home. The prices for her services are also more affordable compared to other vendors on the island. 11/10 recommend! -

We went through several wedding planners before choosing Janice as the right one and we glad we did. With her experience we knew we were in good hands. She asked us what is the most important thing you want from your wedding? "I just want to be in the moment: no stress, no worries and eat! Just be in the moment!" Janice and her team did exactly what I wanted.
What I love about what she offers, she can cater to everyone needs from full blown planning, partial planning, and day of coordinated. We went with partial since we already picked out our venue and most of our vendors. I had no direction or really guide on how to plan the wedding (I never thought I would have a wedding) and so with Janice direction it gave me piece of mind and little things I never thought I needed to know...
The day of our wedding her and her team kept everything running smoothly. I did not have to think, I just follow.. Oh and you know how people say that don't really eat at their wedding.. That's a myth! We ate our pupus and we were ahead of schedule and really ate our dinner. Thank you Janice! -

Best day of wedding coordinator!
We had Janice to help out coordinating our wedding day. We were told numerous times that we don’t need a day of coordinator. Well I’m sorry they’re wrong lol Every meeting we had she made sure we did our homework, she told us things we didn’t know we needed for our wedding day the little things we didn’t think matter to us DO MATTER. Thankfully, we got the big vendors out of the way. Janice helps give you ideas, sends you referrals if you can’t think of any other vendors. Fast forward to our wedding day, everything went as smooth as possible. She made sure all of our vendors had time to eat, even though I’m sure it was a hectic day/night for them she made sure my wife and I had time to eat in between the wedding festivities we had. I wouldn’t have had a stress free wedding day without Janice. Thank you so much for your hard work! -

Joanne H. Sent on 07/18/2022Amazing! Exceeded our expectations!
My husband and I were looking for a day of wedding coordinator. Janice's day-of coordination service was amazing! Janice is incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, well connected to other local vendors, and experienced in planning and executing. Janice met with my husband and I to go over the theme and our vision for the wedding. When we didn't know which vendors to pick, Janice recommended vendors who would be good fits. Janice and her team are also flexible and work with us! About 3-4 months before the wedding day, our original venue cancelled on us and we had to change our venue! We secured a new venue but had to change the date of the wedding. Through this stressful period, Janice was responsive and was able to work with us through the changes. As the wedding day grew closer, Janice reached out to make sure we completed all the meetings we needed to confirm the timeline and all other items. Her initiative was much appreciated during that busy time.
On the wedding day, we had Dasia, Shanon, and Jane executing the wedding. They were so wonderful and on top of things! They arrived at the venue before the wedding party did and received our flower delivery. When the wedding party was taking photos, Shanon was actively helping with fixing the wedding dress. They made sure things were moving smoothly and we were sticking to the timeline. If something went wrong on the wedding day, we didn't know, so Dasia, Shanon, and Jane must have taken care of it! The wedding day was long and could've been stressful, but Janice, Dasia, Shanon, and Jane were excellent in taking care of the details and executing the wedding with our vision in mind. Our wedding guests were also very impressed by their service, and my husband and I highly recommend Wedding Planner 808!!! -

Deciding to hire Janice as a partial wedding planner was one of the best decisions for my wedding! I live on the island and figured it would be easy enough to plan it all on my own and just hire a day-of coordinator but after having the initial consultation and seeing the different package options, I knew I had to hire her. Janice gave helpful suggestions and advice when it came to my wedding including all the small little details. She was always pretty quick to respond to my text messages whenever I had questions in between our meetings. She never made me feel bad about any of my decisions but she did let me know if there was any potential issues that may occur. I truly believe all those extra planning sessions with Janice made my wedding from “pretty nice” to “absolutely breathtaking.” I’ve gotten so many compliments with how it all turned out! My bridal party and my family even told me how much they liked her and how they enjoyed how she handled rehearsal and wedding day. There are not enough words for me to express my gratitude and thankfulness to her. I’m so happy that I hired her, I had the wedding of my dreams❤️ -

Janice and her team were incredible! I had the wedding of my dreams! I planned and Janice executed. Many times I was overwhelmed and Janice ALWAYS maintained composure and provided options / solutions. She is both completely professional and very loving and compassionate at the same time. With all the setbacks of getting engaged of February 2020 and the world shutting down in March of the same year…she moved with us throughout all our postponements and truly brought everything together for our 2022 wedding. We had dozens of vendors. COVID protocol to deal with. She answered every phone call, text, any time. She has multiple resources and recommendations and yet never tells you what to do or who to choose. I could go on and on about how amazing she is. 100% suggest you hire her. -

Janice was absolutely amazing to work with! From the day we hired her, she was so organized and top of things. She made sure we covered everything we needed down to all the small details. She also had great recommendations for vendors. Her experience and knowledge in the industry definitely shows in her work which made our wedding day perfect and totally stress free. I recommend her service to anyone looking for a wedding planner! -

What A Day To Remember!
We were aware of Janice’s work for quite some time! We knew we had to get her because of the experiences we’ve had when she helped plan my sister and friend’s wedding. We knew we had to book her right away!
During COVID it was a stressful time of planning. We are super grateful for her patience, resilience and persistent communication with us and our vendors. She also, recommended some vendors that helped fit with our budget! Planning this wedding was very difficult during COVID because many of the vendors we contacted were backed up on emails and it was just hard to get a hold of someone. Janice did a great job in following up with our vendors and updating us, ensuring that everything fell in place for our wedding.
Some things we wanted to share that really made us appreciate Janice and her work was that two weeks before the wedding, restrictions got tighter. We needed to submit mitigation plan and have that approved in order for our wedding to happen. Of course as any couple would, we panicked. As we contacted Janice about the situation, she reassured us that she already got a plan submitted and it was waiting for approval. How awesome was that?!
Another thing that really topped it off was that there were a lot of minimums payments that some companies wanted. We were really bummed when she told us that this one vendor couldn’t let us rent an altar because they wanted us to spend a minimum payment. Janice, however, knew someone who could customize the altar that we wanted. It was a short notice but our altar looked amazing and it was what we both imagined it to be.
Janice is on it with everything and very knowledgeable because she has been in the wedding industry for a while now. We trusted her judgment and recommendation when we were planning. She was easy to work with and we both felt like we were planning along side with a friend. While planning, we knew that there were little things required from us for her, which was no problem. Overall, she was the one that executed the wedding we wanted! We appreciate what she has done for us during the planning and the day of our wedding! We highly recommend Janice, Wedding Planner 808! -

Janice is the most organized, patient, responsive and hard working wedding planner. She is super knowledgeable about everything and everyone in the wedding industry, She took exactly what we wanted and made our wedding turn out so beautiful. Our guests all commented to us about how well she made everything flow. They all told me, "That wedding planner of yours, she's awesome!" I knew I could trust Janice to do her thing and not have to worry about anything on our wedding day. We had the best time of our lives that day (despite the rainy weather) and we could not have done it without Janice!! Thank you so much for everything, we appreciate you so much!! -

Janice is what every bride (and groom) needs! Planning a destination wedding during a pandemic was a bit challenging. We had to postpone our wedding twice due to covid and Janice was so flexible in terms of changing our wedding date. During our planning sessions, she went over all our vendor’s contracts to see what was included, what was not, and what still needs to be done. It honestly helped me focus on things that needs to be done instead of being all over the place.
We couldn’t secure a rehearsal date at our venue and ended up having a rehearsal at the beach park. Janice was so nice to show up and did a quick rehearsal before we went to the beach with our wedding party. We communicated mostly via text and sent her pictures on how I wanted certain decorations looked on the day of the wedding and she executed that so well.
She worked so well with our other vendors and made sure that everything was in place.
I cannot recommend Janice enough. Because of her, I worried nothing on the day of the wedding and just enjoyed my time with my family, friends, and husband. She definitely turned my wedding vision into a reality. -

Janice (Wedding Planner 808) was our wedding planner and also our day of coordination. My now-husband and I planned our destination Hawaii (O'ahu) wedding from Maryland (Annapolis) where we lived. As a Bride, I was so stressed planning a wedding that was so far away, but my now-husband & I really wanted to get married in O'ahu. We talked to several wedding planners and we chose Janice (Wedding Planner 808) because she was very personable and nice. She was extremely helpful, responsive, creative, honest and highly organized. We constantly communicated via texts/calls/emails about every single detail of our wedding and she was very responsive. As a Bride, I would always ask her for advice/suggestions, and her suggestions/ideas made our wedding so grand and gorgeous and brought our exact vision to life that far exceeded our expectations! She also knows many people in the wedding business, and we found some of our excellent vendors through her. She's also helped us to save. Janice also helped us to come up with our wedding theme, theme colors, centerpieces design, cake decoration, and many more. She was also excellent in communicating and keeping in track of other vendors, venue and our vendor contracts. She also led our wedding rehearsal that was well-organized. I couldn't say it enough. Janice is very detailed, hardworking, and professional. She really gets to know you as a Bride & Groom, and doesn't only treat you like a client but treats you like a family. On our wedding day, Janice was also our day of coordination. She communicated with our families, vendors and wedding party of our wedding timeline and was available for answers for any questions regarding the timeline. She really made things happen! On our wedding day, we were in awe of our beautiful wedding details and experience after planning our Hawaii wedding from the mainland for more than a year. Up to this day, all of our wedding guests who came from all over the world to O'ahu kept telling us that our Hawaii (O'ahu) wedding was the most magical and best wedding that they've ever attended and experienced! We give the major props to Janice (Wedding Planner 808)! Without her help and guidance, our beautiful Hawaii wedding wouldn't have been possible! We really really really highly recommend Janice Bachiller (Wedding Planner 808)! She's a world-class wedding planner and also a day of coordination! -

From the very beginning, Janice was honestly the best. She knew when to joke around and when it’s time to get serious and I loved that! I didn’t hire her as a full time wedding planner, so I knew what the limits was and I was very aware of it. Cause I honestly wanted me and my other half to be more involved in the planning rather than someone else doing all the planning, if that makes sense. But she did provide us with guidelines to do and when to get it done, checklists and she was of course my BFF for same day coordinator. She was very patient as well when it came to mother of the bride, trying to take control. Janice knew who to respond to and I’m glad she did because our wedding night, was beyond exceptional. And thanks to her, she suggested TBTGHI as our emcees which we ended up with and so glad we did.
Thank you janice!! -

Janice is punctional, organized, and professional when planning our dream wedding. She has years of experience working with the many vendors who operate here in Hawaii and knows which vendors work well together. She answered our questions in a timely manner and left us with an overall positive experience.
