"I was so lucky enough to find Janell on a Mommy group when I was looking for a Wedding Coordinator for our non traditional, but large wedding. We did not have a rehearsal, so she came and helped us set up and get organized the day before which was really helpful. On the day of, she made sure everything ran as smooth as possible. If there were any issues, we didn't know about it. She had two glasses of wine waiting for us after we walked away from the ceremony, and brought us plates of food when we were starving but trying to make our rounds and say hi to everyone. She was sweet, professional, went above and beyond what we asked for and needed, and I would highly recommend her in a heart beat!!"

"So lucky to have had Janell as the wedding coordinator for our son's wedding. She went above and beyond and left no stone unturned, even down to having coins available for street parking. Her professionalism was all encompassing and I would highly recommend her."
- Carol (Mother of the Groom, 2015)
"Janell was unbelievably helpful in my wedding planning, even from 1,200 miles away! She was available for multiple phone calls, guiding me through the whole planning process. Our wedding day was flawless, as far as I know! After giving her my centerpieces with an idea of how I wanted them set up with the flowers we showed up to the venue and everything was perfect, just as I imagined it! Janell was there from start to finish, helping with details and keeping me calm. I could not have done it without her!"

"Janell is a consummate event management professional. Every step of the way, we were constantly impressed with her helpful, friendly attitude. She's someone we knew we could trust with one of the most important days in our lives! Janell took the time to get to know us and our hopes for the wedding, and was well versed in modern wedding styles and techniques. She offered great advice during the planning process, helped us put together a timeline, and made detailed notes about all of our specific needs and desires. The day of our wedding, she was such a pro and troubleshooted a few issues we had with our rental company directly. She helped calm down a frantic mother-of-the-bride and pulled everything together on time and as we had imagined. The entire evening was such a blast for our guests, thanks to the seamless and capable event management Janell and her team provided"
- Erica and Mark (Bride and Groom, 2015)
"I strongly commend the job that Janell did in planning and managing our son and daughter-in-law's wedding. Since both sets of parents were from out of town, it was crucial that the planning and execution of the wedding and reception be an utmost priority. Janell did an exceptional job in all aspects of coordination of the event and all attendees had a most memorable experience. This included all the specific details that allowed the bridal parties guests to have an extremely memorable evening.
I highly recommend Janell for anyone planning an event in the future." - Stan (Father of the Groom, 2015)
