Jan was amazing. She was the wedding planner for my sister's wedding, my brother's wedding, and we hired Alma Event Planner for our wedding in December 2023 as day of coordinator. She was a LIFESAVER! We had a somewhat simpler ceremony at Matheson Hammock Park. This meant we had to have vendors for tables, chairs, dance floor, as well as our caterer and photographer. We had to use the same chairs from the dinner for the ceremony, and move them around. Jan was amazing--everything was set up where and when it needed to be, handling all our makeshift, last minute plans and set ups. She made sure my partner and I could enjoy ourselves, get to eat the food, and have drinks, have our photos and lots of dancing. It was amazing. Best day of our lives and I would relive it a million times over. Thank you so much, Jan! You're a veritable STAR!
Working with Jan from Alma Event Planner was an absolute dream. As our month-of wedding planner, Jan not only exceeded our expectations—she completely blew us away with her professionalism, precision, and warmth. From the very beginning, she was responsive, thoughtful, and full of helpful guidance. She answered every question I had (and there were many!) with patience and clarity, and helped us develop a detailed event timeline that kept everything on track.
In the hectic weeks leading up to the wedding, having Jan coordinate with our vendors was a huge relief—but what truly wowed us was how effortlessly she ran the day itself. Jan is one of those rare people who is completely on top of every single detail without ever making you feel stressed. If anything went wrong on the day of the wedding, I truly had no idea—because Jan had it handled before it even reached me.
As someone who’s admittedly a bit of a control freak, I was nervous about handing over the reins for décor setup (and she knew this). But when I walked into our venue, I was stunned. Jan and her team executed my vision better than I ever could have. Every piece I brought—every sign, photo, and personal touch—was perfectly placed. Her attention to detail is unmatched.
What made the experience even more special was how personable and supportive Jan was throughout the entire day. She was always one step behind me, ready with my lip gloss or a helping hand, like a trusted friend who just gets it. She brought a calming energy and a sense of joy to the day that I will never forget.
And Jan’s magic didn’t stop when the last dance ended. At the end of the night, everything was packed up perfectly, ready to go. We were able to leave the venue the next day without any stress, knowing that nothing had been forgotten and everything was in its place. From the start of the event to the absolute finish, Jan made everything easy, seamless, and smooth.
Jan is everything you want by your side: detail-oriented, punctual, organized, and truly dedicated to her couples. She took all the planning we’d done over the past year, met with us a few weeks out, and brought it to life flawlessly, allowing us to be fully present and actually enjoy the day.
Jan, we cannot thank you and your team enough. You are a true professional and a wonderful person, and any couple would be lucky to have you by their side. If you're considering Alma Event Planner—don’t hesitate. You’re in the best hands!!
If you need a wedding planner, look no further! Janina and the Alma team were 10000/10 stars! We could not have asked for better service. My husband and I had a backyard wedding, which is a lot harder than a traditional venue, and Janina made it absolutely flawless. She made sure our wedding was perfect, if there was a problem during our wedding, I had no idea because they were on top of EVERYTHING! We cannot thank you enough for your help in making our big day perfect!
Jan is absolutely AMAZING🥹♥️She made my dream day a reality! From start to finish, she listened to my vision and made it come to life beautifully. I felt like a princess the entire time, and everything was absolutely perfect. Highly recommend for anyone looking to make their wedding unforgettable!
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!!!
Jan is a wonder! She and her team are the absolute best. My oldest daughter was married on 1/14/23. We were not organized at all and she whipped us into shape. I honestly don’t know what we would have done without her. The entire wedding party commented on how amazing she was. My youngest daughter told me she HAD to have her for her wedding as well after about an hour of seeing her in action! She handled everything and anything thrown at her and all we did was… enjoy the special day! Thank you Jan! (I’ll be calling you very soon! ;) )
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!
Alma’s girls did amazinggggg! They made sure everything ran smoothly and on time for our big day. And that’s just how it went! We couldn’t be anymore happier. They were so helpful that they even went out of their way to help wash the beach sand off of my feet while in my wedding dress. Thank you ladies!
Jan and her sidekick Mel was one of the best and useful vendors we hired for our small, intimate wedding.
Jan remained calm, organized during the entire night and was a joy to have there. Having a day of coordinator like her is well worth the cost and then some!
I used Alma Event Planning for Day of Coordinating services and it was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding day! Melissa, Melanie, and Santiago did an amazing job with helping keep on schedule throughout the whole day, took care of the vendors and made sure that everything was running smoothly, and were there to troubleshoot any issues that popped up! I honestly don't know what I would have done without them all there!!
Thank you so much!
I can’t even begin to explain how amazing Jan and her assistant were. If it wasn’t for them I don’t know what I would do. Aside from being so professional, these girls have the most amazing personalities I’ve ever seen. They made sure everything ran smooth, and any issues were taken care of. They were a breath of fresh air on a very stressful day. You girls will forever have my gratitude, and the love from my bridesmaid/groomsmen!!!
I don't think our wedding would have been nearly as much of a success without all of the help from Jan and Melissa. We did the month of planning package, and from our first meeting with Jan the month before our wedding I knew we had made an awesome decision to hire her team. She helped us coordinate a timeline that worked with all of the goals we had for the wedding, and then on wedding day ensure that the timeline went off without a hitch.
Melissa met with us and our bridal party to do a walkthrough the day before, which I didn't even realize how much we needed until we ran through it with her.
On the wedding day, they took all of the DIY decor my mom had made (and there was a LOT of it) and arranged it all beautifully throughout the venue. I had been really nervous about how it was all going to get set up that morning until I talked with them about it, and they did such a gorgeous job. I never would have been able to guess that their team had not been to our venue before because they were truly able to run the show and get things set up like they were there all the time.
The whole wedding day, Jan and her team were focused on making everything perfect for my husband and I. I didn’t have to worry about anyone getting where they needed to go during the day. She made sure we didn’t see each other before we walked down the aisle despite having to coordinate us in different groups of pictures. She made sure we had drinks and food without even having to ask for them.
At the end of the night, her and her team also broke down and packaged up all of our DIY decor, which I was incredibly grateful for.
Our venue package actually included a day of coordinator, but the services weren’t as in depth as what Jan and her team offered and I’m so glad we went with Alma Event Planners instead. I could not recommend Alma Event Planners more. They were all so personable and professional, and definitely made it so I could enjoy my wedding day to the fullest!
I am soo happy I used Alma Event Planner for my wedding! I booked Jan as my day-of coordinator and she was a rockstar. There were some issues that popped up on my wedding day, however, we had no idea and she put us at ease. Jan was professional the entire time. She made sure that my fiancé and I were the priority. I was able to enjoy my wedding day stress-free. The day could not have been better. Hire them- you won't regret it!!
I had the pleasure of working with Jan and her team this past weekend at the Tower Club in Ft. Lauderdale. I am the owner of a luxury event company in business for over 40 years and found her extremely professional , friendly and very much on top of her game. I would highly recommend her to any Bride looking for assistance with their wedding! Rick - Bayfront Floral & Event Design
I used Alma Event Planner for my sisters wedding. I planned the wedding most of the way through, then had Alma come in and take over for the week of. It was a great experience working with Jannina. She was very responsive, and took over as if she was working with me the entire time! The day of the wedding we had two coordinators with us, and I felt so secure that the day would go smoothly, as it did. Thank you so much for all of your help, and I would definitely recommend your services and would use your company again in the future!
Jan and her team are absolutely amazing! We are so glad we had her to help us plan during a pandemic and she just made the day go so smoothly. We could not picture our special day without her. We highly recommend her to help you and your loved ones focus on what truly matters on your wedding day, simply enjoying it! The day will fly by and having her to coordinate everything will allow you to breathe easy and love your special day!
Jan saved my wedding. That is all. She was AMAZING the whole planning process. And then when our venue got flooded due to a storm that came through two days before wedding day, and the venue was pushing to reschedule our wedding and we (I shouldn’t say we, because SHE solution seeked) and made everything happen. It was the most perfect day. Everything went according to plan!! We had delays and hiccups here and there but Jan made it all happen! I will always and forever recommend Alma planning to anyone I know getting married!
Janina and her team, Alma Event Planner, are phenomenal. Me and my husband just had our wedding late January before the pandemic and she helped me every step of the way. Initially I tried planning the wedding myself, but realized it was more than I could handle and had found her through the knot. She gave me an affordable price within our budget and kept everything in check. It really relieved a lot of stress. She and her team aided me through every step of the way, explained what will happen come wedding day and weeks before the day. She even helped me put my mother's mind at ease when it came to certain Filipino traditions for the ceremony. When it came to wedding day, the wedding was a complete hit with the guests and I didn't have anything to worry about. I was a pretty happy bride and able to enjoy the day with family. I definitely highly recommend Janina for any special events!!
DAY OF PLANNER IS A MUST!! Jan and her team were a dream come true. Not once on my wedding day did I look at a clock or stress about timing. They helped make everything seamless and luckily we only had minor issues arise and they were right there with a solution. Highly recommend Jan and her team!!!
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.
Alma was my wedding planner for my November 23, 2019 wedding. I could not have been more blessed to have her as my wedding planner every step of the way. She took care of everything I needed, handled everyone with grace and poise and helped me throw the best wedding ever. I’m so grateful I had her with me that day to handle everything (and everyone). My day went off without a hitch thanks to her hard work and dedication.
Jan is the BEST! Originally, I wasn’t sure if I needed to use a planner, but I’m so happy I did! Jan took all of the day of stress off of me, and helped me so much. She must have fixed my dress bustle about 10 times throughout the night after people stepped on it, and when my first bite of food fell on my dress she was right there with a soda water to get it off. She made my day run so smoothly! Highly recommend Jan!
It's difficult to describe the absolute blessing it was having Alma Event Planner make our special day perfect. Without Jan and her team I would have been lost. Not only was she everything we needed in a planner, she went way above and beyond making everything from start to finish come out perfectly. We deviated from many traditional wedding norms and Jan had great ideas and alternatives, she also guided us and handled things I'd never have thought about. Ultimately this led to one of the best weddings I've ever been to and I'm grateful it turned out to be my wedding! Additionally her negotiating skills and working with clients/vendors saved us thousands! Best of all, I was actually able to 100% enjoy my own wedding on the big day thanks to Alma Events Planner. I highly recommend Jan and her team as your choice in wedding planners. You will be doing yourself a great favor in doing so!
Janina and her assistant was the best decision I made for my wedding day. She handled everything from start to finish and took control of all issues. I am very satisfied with her level of expertise, organization and patience. I will definitely recommend her to all.
Jan is amazing!!! She helped me coordinate what seemed like my thousands of vendors and she made everything so easy for me. She also saved me on my wedding day multiple times and fixed last minute problems and made things run smoothly. IF I had to do it all again I’d choose Jan over and over again. She was so helpful and so nice and kept me calm and even helped me fix my makeup when it started to smudge after pictures. My personal stuff ended up spread everywhere in many different rooms and buildings and she gathered it all for me and kept track of everything. Thank you so much for everything you made my life so much easier and made my day so much more amazing. Thank you again!!
Jan and I did not actually meet until my wedding day but from the first time we spoke, I knew she was my girl. I am an Event Planner myself so giving up control on my big day was no easy task. Jan made me feel so relaxed and at ease that she had everything under control. We touched based a few weeks before and then on wedding day she was on her toes. She fixed issues before I even knew about them! Seriously, she was amazing! My husband had a hole in his pants and she fixed that. My wine box broke right before the wedding and she fixed that. I did not even know! She broke down and packed up everything I expected. I could go on and on. If you are looking for a fun, reliable, professional, hard worker to help with your wedding, Jan is your girl!! Thank you so so much for making my wedding day a dream come true! You rocked!! :)
First off, my husband and I HIGHLY recommend Jan and her team from Alma Events. We had the pleasure of having them a our day of coordinators last Saturday for our special day. As the main planner of our wedding, I thought I was going to be stressed the day of. Instead, Jan handled absolutely everything. From coordinating vendors, marriages license, collecting rings, scheduling, guests, decor, and more- she made everything perfect. I couldn't of done it without her. She was my right hand woman. She followed me and assisted me prior to our reception to help me fix my makeup and change shoes. Everything, including our timeline, was absolutely perfect. Thanks to her we can say it was our best day ever. We love you!!
My day went absolutely perfect thanks to Alma Event Planner! We had planned to have an outdoor ceremony and an indoor reception but, wouldn’t you know it, it rained on my special day!! We didn’t know what to do but Alma Event Planner stepped up and organized us and I got married on the dance floor! But she made it perfect! Thank you!!!
Jan was hands down the most awesome factor to our big day. She was organized, she was punctual, and kept me on schedule.. period. Despite my own setback. She was the sweetest thing, and was the smile that I needed to make sure I knew everything would be okay period from the ceremony to the reception. Between her and the florist my reception was everything that I wanted. I am most grateful that Jan was a part of my big day. Thank you again and congrats
Jan and her team were simply the best! She turned my vision into a reality and it was absolutely stunning! I cannot thank her enough for making our special day so amazing. Jan is super responsive and on top of everything and is always there to calm your fears or handle a last minute change. Thank you to her for being so awesome.
Jan is a wedding planner dream! She made my wedding planning process, and my day of, nearly stress-free (to the point that all my vendors who came into the bridal suite said they'd never been in one that was so calm). She was on top of everything throughout my planning process, and worked tirelessly to ensure that my dream wedding came to fruition. On top of all that, she's affordable! My only regret about my wedding day? It means I won't get to work with her anymore. Thank you Jan, for making sure our day was truly the best day ever.
Jannina was wonderful. I hired her for the day of my wedding and I literally would have been lost without her. She was there from beginning to end and made sure that the whole wedding ran smoothly. Thank you Jannina for making sure that this day was the best it could be!
If we could give Jan and her team more than 5 stars, we would! We hired Alma Event Planner for day of coordinator for our wedding and it was the BEST decision we made! Jan made sure that we did not have to worry about a single thing the week leading up to our wedding and on the day of. They catered to us on our day and made us feel so special. Even if you want to plan your wedding on your own, seriously consider hiring a day of coordinator, you won't be disappointed. If you do decide to hire one, hire Alma Event Planner...you'll wonder why you took so long to do so!! Thank you Jan!!
My wedding went off without a hitch due to Jan and her team! I didn't have to lift a finger to manage anything that day. I felt at ease with Jan navigating the day, directing the guest and assisting vendors. She is organized, sweet and kind. She made sure Chris and I were well taken care of and we couldn't of been more impressed with Jan. She worked perfectly with the photographer making sure we stayed on schedule and helped make my wedding the best day possible! THANK YOU :)
Our wedding would not have turned out as beautiful as it did without the outstanding job that Alma Event Planners did planning and coordinating all aspects of our special day. From the moment we met Jan, we knew she was the one we wanted to work with. She was incredibly accommodating with respect to not only when and where we were able to meet, but also was willing to get everything done within our budget. In fact she far exceeded our expectations in the quality and attention to detail she gave for the planning package we chose.
The actual wedding day was just about as stress free as a wedding could be, a feat that would not have been possible without Jan and her husband. While Jan was making sure everything was running seamlessly before and during the ceremony, her husband was at the venue location ensuring the coordination and set up of the vendors was perfect. They truly are a terrific team.
Besides planning and coordinating the entire wedding, Jan was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful with making introductions to many of the other vendors we used.
If anyone is looking for an experienced and easy to work with planner, we whole heartedly recommend Alma event planners to assist in making their special day perfect.
Jan and her team are incredible!! We hired Jan for our day of but she was so much more. She helped me for months leading up to the wedding on any questions I had. When our pretzel wall fell through, Jan built us one!! We had zero stress on our wedding day. We can’t thank Alma events enough for making our day absolutely perfect !
I called Jan, only 3 months away from my wedding and was 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 and at least doing a "day of coordination" ... 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 Ryan
Jan and team were great to work with ! She was able to handle all our last minute details and the wedding went as we expected. Thanks Jan for helping us make this day happen !
Jan was absolutely amazing!! From the moment I spoke to her on the phone 2 months out from the wedding and booked her to the last dance she was incredibly helpful. I was never the type to ever consider getting a wedding planner but planning a long distant wedding we decided we needed help and it was the best decision I ever made. Jan helped me and my mom and maid of honor truly relax and enjoy our day. All the details were taken care of (even details I never thought of working out), she is organized, energetic, kind and the person you want as your right hand gal on your big day working everything from behind the scenes.
From the very beginning Janina was easy to talk to, friendly and responded very promptly. This helped my decision when shopping for our wedding planner, she was perfect! I was looking for someone to take a little of the stress off during the planning process and all of the stress off on our big day! Well, she did this and more. She was so helpful during the planning process, especially in the final weeks keeping everything organized and on time. The day of our wedding, there were a couple of incidents with the venue but I was completely stress-free knowing she would handle everything for us and keep our day running smoothly, and it did! I am not a very detailed person, but I was able to tell her what my vision was, she gave me suggestions then put it all together beautifully! Our day was absolutely perfect, our guests loved everything and had an amazing time. Janina was all we could hope for and more, she was kind, helpful and knew exactly what she was doing. Thank you Alma Event Planners for making our day so special!!!
Jan was the best money we spent during our wedding! We booked her as our 'day of' coordinator (one of the only planners with that package available) and she took over EVERYTHING two weeks prior to my big day. She helped me make decisions and brought up things that I would have never thought of. My pre-wedding stress levels were significantly reduced from the moment we met. I handed over all the decors, she confirmed all the vendors, and handled all the last minute issues that came up. Her assistant spent the day at my venue and Jan was back and forth between my hotel and the venue. I did not have to worry about a thing and she really gave me piece of mind. Jan was always available, never late, and easy to communicate with. She and her team are true professionals and they definitely enhanced the whole wedding experience. My wedding wouldn't have come out so perfect without her. Do yourself a huge favor and hire her to help you get through the most important day of your life!
Jan and her team are amazing people to work with!!! Thank you so much for paying attention to all the little details, making sure everything was set up appropriately and just the way I wanted, and most importantly making sure we stayed on time with all the different events throughout our wedding day. As our day-of- coordinator, you made sure everything went smoothly. My mind was at ease knowing I had such a great team to take care of everything on our special day. Jan took the time to meet with me prior to my wedding and collect all info about my vendors, listen to all the specifics I wanted in my wedding, as well as thoroughly reviewed my timeline. Jan made sure to contact all my vendors and keep in touch with them till wedding day. Her and her team worked so hard to make our special day came to life! . I cannot thank you enough!!!!! I felt like you were not only our coordinator, but you've also managed to keep us calm throughout the day. I feel like I've gained a friend :) Thank you for everything.
Jannina from Alma Event Planner is truly talented! She is passionate about what she does, and it shows. She takes great care to think about every detail for your wedding or event. As a Floral Designer I love working with her and her team and always feel in good hands!”
My dear Jannina see you soon in our next wedding!!

Jannina is an amazing woman to work with! We decided to plan our wedding in three months in which I personally did most of the legwork. I own my own business and am extremely design and detail-oriented so I really viewed hiring Jannina at first as my right hand lady on our wedding day. However, as we approached the weekend - I was way off base! Weeks before, she began to keep us organized, gave me reminders, had wonderful advice and guidance and vendors to recommend. She was so great that I pulled the trigger and hired her for the entire weekend. Between the welcome party and the wedding ceremony, dinner and reception I had VERY heavy expectations and even more decor : ) I thought I would have time to really lay it all out but I absolutely didn't. I was super nervous, having not worked with J before, walking up to our welcome party but with only a little direction, the lanterns, runners, rentals, flags, bar, check-in table, EVERYTHING were PERFECT. The wedding day was the same story and even more impressive. She's a rockstar and I will continue to work with her for years to come for other events I do in South Florida. She listens, multi-tasks, steps up, takes directions and is most importantly, sweet, compassionate and funny. I couldn't recommend her and her team more. Our entire wedding weekend was a success because of Jannina : )
One word: AMAZING!
Absolutely recommended, they took the time to listen to all of my ideas, including plenty of valuable DIY , they took care of the rentals, the vendors and every little detail came up as I dreamed it. Jannina has great taste, is responsive and experienced, they provide high value yet very affordable.
They managed the little unplanned things that needed to be fixed in a very professional and polite fashion. I couldnt be more grateful,
We hired Jan and her team for the Day of coordination for our wedding, we gave her all items the same day and she knew exactlly what to do and where to place them! Its like she read our mind lol. We rested on her for everything and our wedding came out perfect! thankyou once again
100% PERFECT!!! Where do I even begin? We hired her and her team for my Wedding for the day off, our wedding was an absolute dream come true. Jannina knew what I wanted and made it happen. From contacting all of my vendors, to setting up appointments, to being there 100% whenever I needed her.. Anything I needed, she was there. We absolutely love her & her team and there is no doubt she will be the one I contact to help plan and coordinate all of my future event. Love you!
The event was great! You all did an awesome job! Thank you!!!
Jannina was so helpful in making our vision for our wedding come true. Every little detail was exactly how I had imagined my perfect wedding to be! Her work definitely exceeded ALL our expectations. I can't believe how perfect everything turned out, from every napkin to "our song" playing at the perfect moment, everything was exactly on point. Were beyond happy! Our wedding was amazing and it was all thanks to her.
