Jan is absolutely fantastic. As a wedding photographer, I can’t express the importance of attention to detail, adherence to schedules, and dedication and true love for a clients big day. Janine has a genuine and passionate commitment and enthusiasm for her clients experiences and I couldn’t be happier with all of our adventures throughout the day! Thanks so much Jan and I look forward to working with you in the future!!! -

Absolutely amazing. From the first phone call, to rehearsal, to wedding day & everything in between, Jan and her team have been the best ever. Jan is extremely organized, knowledgeable and experienced and it helped so much to know we were making the right decisions with her guidance. She helped with every detail, small to big, had great recommendations for vendors (including which packages we should choose based on what we needed and our budget). On wedding day they went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. They made sure everyone stayed on track and in place, even making sure I always had something to eat or drink. Jan made this such a beautiful and stress-free experience. It really helped me enjoy my wedding planning process because I knew the whole time I could trust her with the wedding of my dreams. I am beyond grateful for Jan & her team. Thank you times a million! -

Okay let me first start this post by making sure that if you are on the fence about (at minimum) a day of coordinator - my single most important advice is: GET ONE! This is coming from someone who wasn't initially planning on getting a day of coordinator because of budget issues. The closer I got to the wedding (and the more overwhelming it all became) and the more my friends kept telling me I should indeed get a day of coordinator, I finally bit the bullet, made a few calls, and immediately after talking to Jannina I knew she was it. Not only was her price reasonable, but her reviews, and then the sense of professionalism, experience, and dedication I had from her during a simple phone conversation - I was hooked.
The day of my wedding I was stressed for 5 seconds - once it was all becoming real and multiple of my friends were asking me "what do we do with....". As soon as Jannina got there, every.single.worry was completely gone. "Your wish is my command" is truly her motto, but more so in a way that you can tell she feels personally invested in making sure your wedding day goes without a hitch and that the bride is as relaxed as possible without worrying about any of the behind the scenes stuff. I got to enjoy my wedding!! From creating my timeline a few weeks prior (and thus helping me realize what loose ends to tie before the wedding), to working on everything behind the scenes, to having sewing kits to fix any dress mishaps (which did happen!), to even running around to get my garter right before "showtime" after I realized I forgot to put it on. I cannot tell you what a gem she is. She anticipates, she solves. And most of all - you can tell she is in it for the love of love stories. Worth every single penny. -

If you are looking for someone to execute your wedding vision to the tea, look no further! Jan was an absolute delight to work with. She helped me and my husband set up the wedding of our dreams and executed it amazingly!!! My guest were also very happy with how helpful she was for them too! I could not have hired a better planner to help us. -

Alina Sent on 02/23/2019Wow! Jan is amazing - Couldn't recommend her more
Quick stats:
> 130 guests
> Remote planning (We live in SF and Miami wedding)
> Spanish, Portuguese, and English speaking guests
We started with the thought of "why do we need a wedding coordinator, we are a smart, capable, and cost-conscious couple". What we quickly realized was the magnitude of decisions and options that required dedicated time to make our big day exactly what we wanted. But above all else, a wedding coordinator allowed us to only focus on each other on the wedding day instead of trying to run it.
So... Jan. Wow! We couldn't be happier with Jan and she made all the difference for us. Her professionalism, energy, and passion were exactly what we wanted. Our original decision was to only use Jan as the Day of Coordinator. Then our venue informed us 3 months before a wedding day they could no longer host us due to environmental damages. We were sad but understood the circumstances and had to kick it into high gear. We quickly upgraded to Jan's wedding coordination service and she was so wonderful and thoughtful considerate during this high-stress time. Since there was a 3-hour timezone difference, we loved that Jan collaborated with us using Google Docs, phone calls, emails, and video chat. Jan's flexibility and hard work really helped us keep our sanity.
On the wedding day, Jan was a godsend. She kept everything on track and handled things that popped up professionally and with grace. We were able to only focused on each other and having a blast with our guests! Thank you, Jan, you are amazing!
If you made it this far, just book her! -
Jackie Sent on 01/18/2018I contacted Alma Event Planners because I needed a day of wedding planner. My daughter and I had already done all of the planning and we wanted someone to be there for the day of the wedding so we could both enjoy the day. I called and set up an appointment with Jannina Martinez and am so glad I did. Our day went off without a hitch and it was all because she was there to run the show! I can honestly say the day was perfect and everything that my daughter and I had planned, Jannina made sure happened. I 100% recommend her services!

Regina Sent on 11/27/2017At first I wasn’t going to hire a Day of Coordinator because I planned to have my wedding very simple. Well, hiring Jan was the best decision I made for my wedding plans. Jan and her husband are incredible! They are a great team and Jan is perfect at responding to those hiccups-big and small- that happen at a wedding. I couldn’t have asked for a better Day of Coordinator! They are worth every penny and more!

Melissa Sent on 11/15/2017After researching on wedding wire, I called Jan at Alma Event Planners. I was only a few months away from my wedding and totally freaking out! But after my first phone conversation, I suddenly felt a weight lifted! Jan and her husband was exactly what we needed to execute all our details for the day of our wedding. We had a few hiccups but Jan made sure to take care of all them. She was my “go to girl” and with her by our side our wedding was a dream come true! For those of you who think you can do it all alone, I highly suggest rethinking... having Jan was a true piece of mind, I had nothing to worry about except enjoying my wedding because of her! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. You Rock - Melissa and RyanAlma Event Planner's reply:
Thankyou Melissa! We enjoyed being part of your special day and being your to go girl lol! Our goal was for you and Ryan to have a stress free wedding and it looks like we did it!! Nothing more gratifying than making dreams come true. Xoxo Jan
