Knowledgable and adaptable with a delightful, friendly demeanor

We hired Janelle as our partial planner and day-of coordinator. She was awesome to work with. Similar to other reviews here, I was pretty anxious and stressed about the whole wedding thing, and every time I spoke with Janelle about it, I felt excited and happy instead. She recommended great vendors, helped to hire a few of them without us lifting a finger, went over all the details with us, ran the rehearsal, and worked tirelessly to ensure the day went smoothly.

We ended up with unexpected rain at the exact time of our family photos and 45 minutes before our ceremony was supposed to start. Janelle completely handled the situation, worked out a new timeline so we could still have the ceremony outside when it stopped raining, handled all the vendor communication required, and kept me in the loop the whole time. Then, once dinner, dances, and speeches were finished, she left her lovely assistant in charge and drove over to our after-party location to set up our decorations and coordinate everything there before returning in time to organize a great exit for us. AND THEN, we accidentally locked her out of our car before she could load up our decorations and remaining items. She ended up dropping them off the next morning at our friend's house so we could pick them up more easily. We seriously couldn't have made it through without her. She is a gem.

I felt the stress leave my body as soon as I hired Janelle

Janelle was a gift from the heavens!! She was a great resource for everything. She was super responsive via text and email and was there for every question I had. She was our day of coordinator but so much more. I couldn’t have imagined a better person to keep my day running smoothly. I can’t recommend her enough!

Highly Recommend Working with Janelle!

Janelle was amazing to work with and so helpful as our day-of coordinator!! Knowing that she was there to coordinate the arrival and clean up of all our vendors made the whole event so much less stressful. I was able to concentrate on being in the moment, and Janelle took care of the rest! Our venue was a bit untraditional and took a lot of DIY. Janelle was so flexible and unfazed by the challenges. She was so professional and organized, but also kind, enthusiastic, and supportive. Having Janelle with us on our wedding day was probably one of the best decisions we made and I would highly recommend working with her!
