from). It was so complex that initially we were unsure if we could even pull it off. Hiring Janette was the best decision we ever made! She assured us that it could be done, and she was right. From the get-go, Janette was extremely organized and always a step or five ahead of us, while being cheerful, friendly, and flexible when we changed our mind on something or were slower than expected in our wedding planning homework tasks. Janette has a wealth of experience and a great event planning network: she connected us with trusted vendors she had worked with (such as our photographer, DJ, the furniture rental company, and the catering company for the post-wedding brunch). The manager at our event venue restaurant had also worked with Janette multiple times before and was happy to hear that Janette would be in charge. She clearly has an excellent reputation in the industry! Every vendor we hired upon her recommendation did excellent work. I would trust Janette's recommendations blindly. Another big plus for us was that Janette is also a florist and could do all the flowers for our wedding herself, from bridal and bridesmaids bouquets to flower arrangements for tables, vases, and outdoor signs. Janette also has a lot of rentals available for reasonable prices, which come in handy to put finishing touches on the design. In our case, she created a beautiful wedding arch by draping our oak tree in white fabric and adding flowers, hanging lanterns, pedestals with beautiful flower arrangements, etc., from her collection. Janette also created and provided beautiful graphics and images for our dinner menu, wedding ceremony, outdoor signage, signature cocktails, table signs and escort cards, etc. We went through months of planning and enjoyed the process. Janette is a true professional who kept us informed, in control as much or as little as we wanted to, on timeline, and on budget. Everything went off without a hitch, and we could truly enjoy our wedding day without worries or stress. It was more magical and wonderful than we could have dreamed of, and this is truly due to Janette's professionalism and experience! I would hire her again in a heartbeat. We had an amazing experience with Janette and her team and cannot recommend her highly enough! Thank you, Janette, for everything you have done to make our wedding such a beautiful, unforgettable experience! - Petra & Pieter

anization, attention to detail, and creativity. For the florals and decor, we first answered some questions around the vision we had for our wedding day, and Janette quickly put together a full proposal. We chose the California Academy of Sciences as our venue, and were using various spaces within it. We had a general idea of the look we wanted, but we hadn’t thought too much about details – Janette filled in all these gaps with several great ideas that we were able to choose from. Our florals were absolutely beautiful, from the chuppah (Janette had various chuppah options) to the bouquets to the dinner table. Our dinner was in an animal-focused hall, so Janette came up with the idea to use small animal magnets for holding up our name cards that guests could then take home as a small gift. She even hand-painted the animals herself. At least half of our guests commented on how much they loved these, and we definitely wouldn’t have thought of it ourselves. For the planning, Janette helped put together a timeline for us, get all vendors on the same page, and helped us organize a walk-through with everyone to make sure we were aligned for the big day. The week of the wedding, Janette made sure everything was in place and went with our family to the venue to walk through the ceremony. On the day of the wedding, everything ran perfectly smoothly. Janette and her team took care of all the coordination, and made sure we mainly kept to our planned timing for the day without it feeling invasive at all. We honestly didn’t have to worry about a single thing, and we were able to fully relax and enjoy the day. It was truly an amazing day, and we could not have imagined it being any better – a lot of that is thanks to Janette! Events by the Bay also had great pricing for both planning and florals. Janette was really responsive to our emails and texts, and helped keep us on track for tasks leading up to the wedding. She is also very experienced, and knew exactly what to do to make sure everything looked amazing and ran smoothly. Overall, Janette made the wedding planning process so much easier and more enjoyable!

un smoothly. Janette was incredibly communicative, especially during the month before the wedding, when she helped us make sure every moving piece fit together. At one point, we realized we didn't have a vendor to help with set-up and tear-down of the reception space, and she helped us fill that gap. Janette created our floor plan, asked insightful questions during our walkthrough, and was regularly in touch with our other vendors. She created floral arrangements and set up decor that matched our inspiration photos perfectly. I gasped when I saw my bouquet--it was that gorgeous. Her staff were kind, respectful, and super on top of the timeline. The icing on the cake was the pricing--Janette has incredibly competitive prices for all services she offers. Her business truly is a one-stop shop for so many key pieces you need for a wedding. Highly recommend!

l Room), and this helped a lot as we discussed timelines and decor. On the day of our wedding, Janette oversaw the setup of all of our florals and decor, which turned out more beautiful than we had even envisioned. She had two assistants on the day of as well, Pooja and Rebecca, who were always somehow one step ahead of everything - they set aside drinks and cake for us, gifts for our guests, and I’m sure tons of other things we weren’t aware of behind the scenes. They were so on top of everything, and the night was totally stress free for us! Overall, we highly recommend Janette and couldn't have imagined our wedding without her and her team.

ed our budget and delivered absolutely beautiful floral arrangements. Regarding day-of coordination services, Janette went above and beyond to ensure my special day went smoothly. Specifically, my wedding was on a tight timeline from beginning to end. Of course hair and makeup caused us to fall behind schedule. As you could imagine, I started to stress out. However, with Janette’s calm demeanor and expertise, she was able to get my wedding back on schedule and our guest never knew the difference. In fact, all of our guest stated that the wedding was absolutely beautiful and very well organized. I only have Janette and Events By The Bay to thank for the outcome.

our plans to life. She asked such good questions to help us identify any gaps in our plans and had so many great recommendations to help make our day even better. We also rented some items through her and it made our day SO much less stressful. Leading up to the day, and on the day, Janette was an absolute pro. She was so calm, organized, supportive, and professional throughout everything. She was always a few steps ahead of everyone and kept us all on track; we didn't have to worry about the little things during such a whirlwind of a day, and that made all the difference. Even our guests were commenting on how great Janette was. I highly recommend Janette and would put my full trust in her for any event!

angements which were gorgeous. Even though there were definite last minute hiccups, she handled everything with ease and delivered a day we will never forget. She even helped us out when we weren’t sure what to do with our dog while on our honeymoon. I HIGHLY recommend Janette and Events By The Bay.

g at the end of the party (very late) she went with us to our hotel which was close to the wedding venue. Good thing, because we actually didn't have our room keys - or ID -and the hotel folks were seriously not going to let us in (WHAAAAT?). Janette saved he day (or night as it were). I cannot recommend her highly enough!
