Greatest Coordinator Of All Time

We couldn’t be happier with Janice and her crew. They did an excellent job at keeping everything in place, on time, and in order during the wedding. We had a vision, and she truly brought it to life and far exceeded our expectations. All the decorations and flowers were placed perfectly and the whole place looked like it was from a fairy tale. They were always on top of everything, highly professional, and catering to our needs. Because of them, we did not worry much about anything during the wedding, and we were able to slow down and appreciate everything. Janice also did a fantastic job coordinating our rehearsal and making sure that we all knew our part on the wedding day. She communicated well with all our family and vendors and made sure that they were up to date and on the same page. She was always ready to help whenever we needed assistance with anything. Her experience and decisiveness helped us stay sane. Simply put, Janice and her crew were the best. Our wedding day would not have been the same without them. Mahalo Janice and team!

Just do it!

We recently had the pleasure of working with Wedding Planner 808 (Janice), and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the moment we started planning, Janice went above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect. Over the course of five months, they were always available, attentive, and incredibly organized, and flexible in making what could have been a stressful process feel seamless and enjoyable.

On the day of our wedding, her coordination was flawless. She handled everything with such professionalism and care, allowing us to fully enjoy every moment without worrying about logistics. Her dedication, attention to detail, and personalized service truly exceeded our expectations. We couldn’t have asked for a better partner to help bring our vision to life.

If you’re looking for a wedding planner who will take care of you every step of the way, we wholeheartedly recommend Wedding Planner 808, Janice!

Side note: Petals and Promises also took care of our table and chair rentals as well as our amazing florals! Hire them both Wedding Planner 808 and Petals and Promises!

Quality service and communication on a budget!

My husband and I got married in July 2024. We hired Janice as our wedding rehearsal and day-of coordinator and she was great!! Initially, we thought the day-of coordination (silver package) was enough but after chatting during our first consultation, she made us realize the gold package would better assist our situation because of the assistance it includes with the rehearsal and tidying up and finalizing vendor details/communication. Looking back, if we did not select the package with those additional services, it would have been way more stressful and complicated. I'm so glad Janice took care of it!

She was very mindful of our budget and was transparent with us. If there were any small details for vendor invoices, she asked us if we still wanted it and made note of how much we would be spending/saving if we had/didn't have it. An example of this was when I initially requested the linens vendor to have cocktail table covers that were floor-length. She later saw the invoice and asked us if we still wanted them because the cocktail hour would go by super quickly and no one would really notice it, and that we would be saving $300+ that could go to drinks instead. I appreciated that she brought up small details like that to our attention to make us double-check things in case we changed our minds. Looking back, she was right about the cocktail hour. It went by fast and everyone still had a great time!

Janice did a great job in helping us space out, schedule, and remind us of our check-ins with her. She was super cool, patient, and understanding when there were reschedules or if we still needed more time to figure out some details. Before each check-in, I'd be a little nervous but during and after, I'd be relieved. She never showed any kind of bad attitude and always remained friendly and calm which allowed us to do the same and enjoy the planning process. She responded to texts and calls right away which we appreciated a lot. She also communicated with our wedding venue events coordinator which was super helpful.

We also appreciated that Janice understood Filipino culture and family/friend dynamics. She explained the different Filipino cultural ceremonies and the types of roles that relatives can have and made sure we knew our options. She also gave real and relatable advice while we worked on our guest list/seating which was very helpful.

The rehearsal went by smoothly. I really appreciated that she was very detailed. She explained which hand goes where, where to stop, how long to pause, which way to turn, walk slower, etc. To some, it might be a pain or unnecessary, but I'm a detail-oriented person so these kinds of pointers were perfect for me!

On the day of the wedding, there was some decor that I forgot to label and describe how I wanted them (check-in table and arch drapes/flowers), and so on the day-of, I only briefly described to her how I wanted it and also showed a photo I quickly found online (LOL). I was a little worried that it wasn't going to turn out the way I envisioned it but when she managed to put everything together really well, better than I even envisioned! Later in the day I asked her how we were doing on time because I was worried we were off schedule but she said we're good and that she always adds in buffer time to everything which was a relief!

Mahalo nui, Janice and team for everything!
