Crossed Keys Estate Wedding

Choosing Janina as our wedding coordinator was one of the best decisions we made in the entire wedding planning process. As a day-of-coordinator she was spectacular, able to predict what we needed before we asked, and had ample staff to help make sure our dream wedding went perfectly, and it did! Janina and her team were able to be everywhere at once, and do everything we needed, and we hardly even realized the extent to how helpful they were.

Having her start three months before our wedding day was also massively important, and incredibly helpful. From tedious but necessary tasks like collecting certificates of insurance, getting vendor head counts for meals, to helping make a perfect wedding schedule, it’s difficult to imagine how we would have gotten the wedding together without her. We cannot recommend her highly enough, and appreciate the amazing work that her and her team did to make our wedding dream come true.

Professional & compassionate

If I could give Janina and her team 1 million stars...I would. From the very beginning when my now husband and I had our consultation with her, she made us feel so comfortable, like a friend we'd known forever.

We always had prompt responses from Janina along the way, whether through text or email! She answered our hundreds of questions and eased our worried minds, and even encouraged us to vent to her if we needed to! SHE IS THE BEST. The processes was 1000x more organized and less stressful with her guidance.

As for the wedding day, Janina and her team simply blew me away and exceeded our expectations. I knew that Janina, Sasa, and Bianca were there to help but I truly did not realize just how much they would be doing the day of. The level of organization was incredible. They allowed my family to really be present and enjoy the festivities as they handled the timeline for the entire day, including setting up our reception decor and taking them down at the end of the night.

Story time! Sasa rode with my family and I in the limo to the church, I began to get nauseous from the nerves and Sasa reaches in her backpack and hands me plastic bag lined with tissue AND anti nausea medication!!! LIKE WHAT?! Wait it gets better... as I'm about to drink from a water bottle, she hands me a straw so I don't ruin my lipgloss!!!

These ladies CARE. Kind is an understatement. They are compassionate and really want to make this day so special for you. You can feel the love and passion for what they do. We could not have asked for a better team to have by our side on our wedding day. I recommend Fete by Janina and her team to everyone I know getting married or anyone who needs an event planner! They are truly professionals with the biggest hearts.

Dom and I are so appreciative and blessed to have met the team and know we have friends for life :)

Peace of Mind

When searching for a wedding planner, you yearn for a steady hand to guide the ship, allowing you to immerse yourself in the memories and savor the day. Our decision to choose Janina Villanueva was not just a professional one but a personal one. Even before the ink dried on the contract, we felt a deep connection, a sense of trust that assured us we were in the best hands. Janina is not just another "vendor." She is a true friend and a confidante with your best interests at heart.

 As a Filipino-American couple, finding a planner who could grasp the intricacies of our cultural dynamics was essential. Janina and her team not only met this requirement but exceeded it. Their authentic concern and dedication to making our day extraordinary were evident in every interaction. Janina's unique understanding of our cultural nuances, gleaned from her experiences and practical solutions, reassured us that our vision was in the right hands.

Janina's professionalism and organization are not just commendable, they are unparalleled. She worked tirelessly behind the scenes, coordinating with our vendors, drafting timelines, and executing the run-of-show. Her ability to anticipate and address our needs before we even realized them ourselves was a testament to her expertise. With Janina at the helm, my wife and I could relax and be secure in knowing that every detail was handled with the utmost care.

In short, our wedding was more than we could have ever imagined, largely thanks to Janina's professional acumen and genuine desire to make our day feel magical. We are forever grateful for the memories she helped us create. Janina, we can't thank you enough for your hard work and dedication. We would wholeheartedly recommend her to couples seeking a wedding planner who delivers excellence and brings warmth, understanding, and cultural sensitivity.
