We couldn't have asked for a better 2-month wedding coordinator than Justina. Before she stepped in, we were managing everything ourselves, but as soon as she took over, we felt an immediate sense of relief. She is incredibly well-prepared and utilizes excellent templates that kept all of our information organized and accessible. Her attention to detail was a total lifesaver.

Justina is a consummate professional and an excellent communicator. She managed our vendors with such precision that our reception felt incredibly smooth and exciting. Toward the end of the planning process, we felt a bit discouraged when it seemed like some vendors lost interest once they were paid. However, we truly felt that Justina actually cared for us and our wedding personally. Knowing she was doing her absolute best for us was so heartwarming and allowed us to actually focus on the joy of the day rather than the logistics. She was the perfect pillar between us and our vendors.

What we loved most was that she didn't just manage what we already had; she encouraged us to add fun, personal details to the reception. I was initially worried about being overwhelmed, but Justina empowered us to add a wedding trivia game and a snack table—both of which were huge hits. As a major bonus, she provided several wedding-related items for us to use that we otherwise would have had to buy for one-time use, and her Minted discount was a total win!

Our wedding had some logistical challenges, including a ceremony venue located 30 minutes away and a sharp 11:00 PM transition to an afterparty. Justina handled every moving part flawlessly so that we could stay in the moment. She even made sure we were fed by bringing us snacks and kindly asking guests to give us space at the sweetheart table so we could actually eat.

Justina truly went above and beyond. Thanks to her, we and our guests had an absolute blast. It was an unforgettable, stress-free day, and we cannot recommend her highly enough!

Justina is a wonderful person to work with, and we cannot recommend her enough. She is warm, attentive, and highly adaptable. By far, the most stressful part of our wedding planning was the lack of communication from our DJ and my makeup artist, Chau. Both became completely unresponsive and "off the grid" at critical points, which caused us a significant amount of anxiety. Justina stepped in and took full control when we felt stuck. She was the only one able to get through to them, using her tenacity and professional grit to track them down and secure their commitment. Having her bridge that gap was the only reason those situations didn’t boil over into a disaster; she truly saved the day and gave us our sanity back.
Beyond managing difficult vendors, our venue was a non-conventional wedding spot and a challenge to work with, but Justina handled everything perfectly. She acted as our main point of contact and took the stress of the venue’s requirements off our plates. She went above and beyond, even letting us borrow items from her own inventory, such as easel stands and tables. She is so attentive that she even caught me right before I could spill tea on my dress.
The lead-up to the wedding was incredibly smooth thanks to Justina's structured approach. She facilitated monthly check-ins starting two months out to guide us through music and photobooth details, then meticulously finalized our timeline one month prior. On the wedding day, she was the calm, confident presence I needed. She kept everything running on time so we could focus on each other instead of the logistics. Justina is a genuinely good person who cares about her couples, and she has our highest possible recommendation.

The value for the money we paid was great, Justina and her team were very attentive through the whole planning process and on top of things during the day of our wedding.

My wife and I did not have to stress about anything because we knew they would be on top of it, like when we had a little situation with a missing shuttle driver, her team handled it quickly and solved the issue.

If you're looking for someone to pay attention to the details and bringing her expertise and best practices to make your special day that much more special, look no further!

Justina was a necessity during our wedding planning. She came in with such a thorough checklist—covering details we hadn’t even thought of—and guided us with her knowledge and attentiveness. From the start, she was transparent that her team would be there on the actual day, and we felt completely confident leaving everything in their hands. Even though we met them for the first time at the wedding, they were seamless extensions of Justina—professional, prepared, and on top of every detail. JL Event was worth every cent, and we truly couldn’t have done it without them.

I’m not even sure I can come up with the right combination of words to describe how incredible this team was! Firstly, this team is based in the Bay Area but is open to traveling anywhere to offer their services. I brought them up to Sacramento and no regrets there. Disclaimer: I have been weaved into the wedding industry through photography for over a decade so I felt like I’ve had my fair share of working with coordinators and THIS is exactly what you would dream for in a wedding planning service.

The level of organization is top tier. I thought I was a pretty well versed spreadsheet girly but she had helped me become even more detailed and organized!

I ended up only hiring Justina and her team for day of coordination for the wedding day because by the time I had messaged her, we had done a lot of the leg work in terms of the actual planning side. However, I felt like she did go above and beyond in terms of helping me plan for the actual wedding. She helped narrow down my many bright ideas. She asked all the right questions to get me on track and tie everything seamlessly together. And she helped me set deadlines which really worked out if you need that little push sometimes. Wedding planning felt less stressful than I had anticipated because of her guidance throughout the process.

On the actual day of the wedding, I felt so comfortable just letting loose and enjoy being an actual bride. I handed all control over to this team and they slid in so effortlessly to deliver such a memorable experience. My guests all had such a great time as well. Overall, my husband and I felt so taken care of and we would do this process all over again. Only because it was so fun and we really got to enjoy ourselves. So yes, definitely a 10/10 would recommend 💕

My husband and I just had our wedding last week on 12/15/24! Justina was our wedding coordinator and she was truly amazing. She is not only detail oriented, responsive, organized, and professional, but she is also thoughtful and personable. She even helped save us money on not going into over-time with our wedding venue! She also saved our wedding timeline (we initially had an early start time for our ceremony because we thought sunset photos were always taken afterwards, but she helped us move things around and coordinated with our photographer to really make our timeline better and more efiicient)! Leading up to our wedding day, she was on multiple video calls with us to make sure we were on track and had everything we needed. She was so good at anticipating our needs and helping us execute every little detail that we wanted for our wedding day. I also knew Justina was good because she helped plan my best friend's wedding, who was my matron of honor at my wedding! A full circle moment haha.
Justina was so professional, but working with her also felt like planning my wedding with a friend. She is so kind and sweet and I will truly miss working with her. She even helped to keep me warm when I was standing outside in cold December night weather.
We really couldn't have done it without Justina and we are SO glad we picked her to be our wedding coordinator. We couldn't have asked for a better person to help us plan the best day of our lives!

Working with Justina on planning our wedding was the best decision we made. We went and used her full planning service and it was SO worth the price. My husband and I had already found a venue prior to hiring Justina. After we found the venue, we were completely at a loss with where to start with the planning as it was overwhelming. But Justina removed this burden completely and she was so patient with us. One trait of Justina that we greatly appreciate is her transparency. Before we signed a contract with her, she was straightforward with us about her giving birth in the middle of the wedding planning process. Despite having to give labor in the middle of planning, Justina's continued to impress us with her clear communication on timelines and expectations. She only stepped away from about 2 weeks after labor and resumed with us; just WOW, we wanted to tell her that she should rest more. During the planing process, Justina handles all of the timelines, organization, and paperwork; which saved my husband and I so much time! Justina was especially a godsend for me, as I was working full-time and wrapping up my master's degree in the same year. We loved how she is prepared with templates for us to follow and takes notes of our every meeting. She is also extremely efficient and was conscious of our budget, and tries her best to help us stay within the budget range we specified. Justina has a lot of connections, so her recommendations were helpful and often helped us save time on researching more vendors. Furthermore, Justina is always willing to come out to meet in person when necessary, and she enjoys choosing fabrics and equipment for the wedding with you -- which we thought was so nice. One thing we also noticed is that all the vendors we worked with also had endless praises for Justina.

When it came to actual wedding day, we were surprised by how smooth our wedding event ran. We were prepared to yolo things if things got out of handle, since we have heard a lot of stories from friends about how some of their weddings did not go as planned. Our wedding was a more complicated one as we crammed a lot of events during reception. As the bride, I had one outfit change, we had 7 toast speeches from family/friends, we played the shoe game, and had 3 musical performances prior to opening up the dance floor. Honestly, we did not expect to be able to go through with everything, but Justina made sure we were good on time and we were able to do everything we planned!

We were so happy with our wedding and it was everything we expected. Thanks to Justina, we did not feel nearly as stressed out as we initially thought. Due to Justina's immense experience and professionalism, a daunting planning turned into a piece of cake. I would HIGHLY recommend Justina to everyone to plan their events. She is absolutely amazing and we felt so inspired by her work ethic and reliability. Once again, thank you so much for making our dream wedding come true Justina!

Our wedding day coordinator, Justina, was absolutely amazing! From our first meeting, she instilled a calm and confident professional who knew exactly what she was doing. This allowed us to be stressed-free and fully able to enjoy every moment without a single worry. Her meticulous attention to detail ensured everything ran smoothly, from vendor management to last-minute adjustments, all while maintaining a positive and supportive attitude. Justina truly went above and beyond, anticipating our needs and resolving any potential issues before they even arose. We could not have imagined a better person to have by our side on our wedding day; we would wholeheartedly recommend her to any couple looking for the perfect wedding experience.

We first saw Justina in action at our close friends' wedding and were blown away by how smoothly everything ran. They raved about her, so we reached out about 9 months before our own wedding. From our very first call, Justina was incredibly thorough in explaining her services and offered so many helpful tips. We booked her wedding coordinator package, and she was amazing throughout the entire planning process.

Justina was always responsive and provided fantastic suggestions. Two months before the wedding, she really helped us nail down the timeline, which was the most stressful part for us. She even stayed late to make sure we had it perfect and asked all the right questions to ensure everything flowed smoothly. As a bonus, she helped us incorporate some Vietnamese traditions that we didn't know about, which we really appreciated.

Before the big day, Justina did a walk-through of our venue and coordinated with all the vendors to confirm timings. On the wedding day itself, she was an absolute rockstar! She took care of everything and everyone – us, our wedding party, and even our guests. She even helped with our ceremony reception the day before, making sure we were fed and on schedule.

Justina is incredibly reliable, communicative, and organized. We are so thankful we hired her; she made our wedding day truly perfect! Cảm ơn, Chị Justina!

Choosing JL Events and Justina was hands-down the best decision we made as part of our wedding planning.

We were late to the planning game (trying to plan within 10 months) and were overwhelmed by all the possible choices of vendors. We were also planning a wedding in San Francisco, while living in Sacramento! We were about halfway through picking our reception venue (a Chinese restaurant for a traditional banquet, since food was a big priority for us), and we realized we needed a lot of help.

When we started looking for a planner, JL Events and Justina totally wow-ed us with the reviews (from former clients and former vendors), the thoughtfulness in her design/photos--she and her team totally lived up to the hype throughout the planning process and day-of-coordination! We went with Justina's full planning package. For each vendor, she asked us what we were looking for and was able to suggest a few vendors in those categories for our review; if those vendors weren't to our liking or out of our price range, she came back with additional suggestions. My partner is fairly particular, and Justina was incredibly friendly, professional, and understanding (and easy to be honest with) throughout the whole process--meeting with us at our venues on weekends, having phone calls and video chats with us throughout to make address any concerns, make sure we were staying on schedule, and smoothing out communication with potential vendors (quotes, availability, etc.). Ultimately, most of the major vendors came from Justina's recommendations (ceremony venue, florist, photographer, band, make-up artist, bartender) and we couldn't have been more pleased with how our wedding turned out! In terms of cost and quality of the vendors, Justina managed to help us identify where our money would have the greatest impact and where we could save--ultimately, she probably saved us more than the full cost of her services!

On the day-of, Justina and her team managed everything so smoothly, my partner and I didn't have to worry about anything. We threw a bunch of random design elements (random paper crafts, vases) at Justina and her team, and they managed to make our reception venue look like we had planned an incredibly tasteful design all along! On an additional note, Justina and her team stayed until all our guests were gone, making sure everything was accounted for from start to finish.

I could go on raving about JL Events, but I think the most ringing endorsement came from my mother, who initially wondered whether a wedding planner was worth the cost. After our wedding and seeing JL Events work their magic, all that Justina and her team did, how much less stress my partner I had, and how amazingly everything turned out, my mother completely changed her opinion.

If you pick JL Events, you won't regret it. JL Events (Justina and her team) are totally worth every penny.
