Janelle and her team were absolutely phenomenal! When we hired her, I was a mess trying to get everything done on my own, but once she came on I felt so stress free and relieved that she was there. Janelle handled all of the vendor calls and contact, she designed everything, and captured my vision beautifully. Even when I thought I lost my veil at the venue after the wedding, she came to the rescue and found it. If you want a planner that won’t disappoint and will go above and beyond, BEE is your choice. I can’t recommend her enough and without her, my wedding wouldn’t have been such a beautiful and effortless day. Janelle is the best wedding planner you can hire for your wedding.

Janelle was the absolute BEST decision we made for our entire wedding!!! She knew so much that we didn’t know (a true expert), paid excellent attention to detail, always had a solution to everything, had multiple items we could borrow from her inventory that we didn’t need to buy, gave the sweetest gifts before, during, and after our wedding….I could truly write a novel as to why anyone planning a wedding needs this angel of a woman for their big day! Worth every penny!! Especially if you want to ensure you can enjoy your wedding day as stress free as possible. I cannot recommend her enough!!!

We can unequivocally say that our wedding would not have come together without Janelle’s help, expertise, and guidance. We were not terribly organized on our own; fortunately, Jan...

elle was able to kindly help us focus and make decisions. She was able to bring our vision to fruition, even without clear articulation from us. She contacted and organized all of our other vendors which helped the day of run smoothly, Additionally, Janelle and her staff were consummate professionals. We have received so many complements on how our wedding came together- this would not have been possible without the expert coordination of Janelle and her team at Blissfully Elegant Events! Cannot recommend strongly enough!!

Janelle definitely made wedding planning a fun and amazing experience for me as a bride! I was also able to have amazing vendors through her recommendations! Planning for a wedding...

requires a huge financial, emotional and logistic investment that I cannot imagine entrusting to anyone else other than Janelle. Throughout the process, she was able to help me see how every option and choice can turn out and work best for us (wisdom that comes from experience!) and it definitely helped me ward off decision fatigue. It was always our priority to stay within our budget and she's a total queen of that arena. As a checklist person, I also definitely appreciate her planning tools, responsiveness, and professionalism throughout our almost 1.5 years of wedding planning. Our meetings were always fun--- it's like showing your BFF your accomplishments and getting more resources over iced tea and croissants. Janelle and her team's background work on the day of the wedding was also impressive. All the technical stuff faded away and all that I had to worry about was walking down the aisle without falling on my face (haha, thankfully I didn't!). Needless to say, my husband and I were able to truly enjoy the wedding and share it with our family and friends in the best way possible. I am deeply, deeply thankful for all the work, dedication and consistency that she has shown us since day one. Most importantly, I know that she is a great person with a big heart--- I earned not only a superb wedding coordinator, but a dear friend as well!!! Thank you, Janelle!!!

Janelle was so helpful in the wedding planning process! We hired her for partial planning services and she was a godsend for handling vendor communications as we got closer to the ...

wedding. She drove all over northern Sacramento to have meetings and look at venues. She made recommendations for vendors which helped us figure out who to hire. As the wedding approached, she put out fires that we didn’t even know were starting. Day of the wedding, the BEE team was clever, quick, and solved everything that came their way. THANK YOU BEE!

We meet Janelle and won the grand price at Sacramento Wedding Fair. Out of all the vendors, Janelle was the most friendly yet informative in regards of her business and her duty as...

an event coordinator/planner. We hit it off the bat, her whole vibe was an excellent fit as our wedding planner/coordinator. Before our wedding, she has been great with asking my husband and I the right questions and very detailed. Month before the wedding, she had already helped us lift so much off our shoulders... which i would've never thought of when planning for a wedding. Janelle drove 2 hours away the night before our wedding during our wedding rehearsal, while a rain storm/thunder storm was all happening. I must say dedication! Even while the storm was happening and the lights went out for a bit, she had us along with our wedding party down to the tea. Then wedding day came, we are lost in words! As Janelle handed everything smoothly. Janelle is throughly a blessing as my husband I did not stress during our wedding day. Janelle is wonderful and great at what she does. She Rocks as a wedding coordinator/planner. We totally will continue recommending her. She is the best!
