I have known Janelle a long time. I have watched her help plan parties for herself and friends over the years, so when I had the honor of not only being the Mother of the Bride but also the Matron of Honor, I knew I had to turn to Janelle for h...elp. I not only had to help plan a wedding, I had a destination Bachelorette party to plan for 15 women! I was nervous about planning the bachelorette party considering it was for my daughter and in my day a bachelorette party was not much more than the girls going for drinks! Janelle was invaluable to me in every aspect from helping to find the perfect hotel, making dinner reservations, scheduling drivers and pick up times, customized bathing suits and shirts for the squad, personalizing our own pictionary game to suit the group and the occasion, to shipping decorations and giant floats to the hotel! Her insight and instinct was spot on! We didn't want the "typical" bachelorette. We wanted tasteful but fun with just a little bit of adult humor thrown in. Janelle delivered on all accounts! Everything went smooth and everyone had an absolute blast!
As for the wedding, janelle went above and beyond! She has a natural instinct for knowing what people want or need within a short period of time! Her knowledge of venues, vendors, color pallets, flowers, what works, keeping within budget (the list goes on...) is amazing! No detail is too big or small for her. She even went dress shopping with us and while I was trying on dress after dress that just wasn't working for me, she managed to slip two in the dressing room that I would have never even considered. When I said that to her she just smiled and said "just humor me then". To my surprise, they not only fit perfect but I felt Beautiful! My daughter said "those are the dresses mom! Your face just lit up when you looked at yourself in the mirror!" I cried....and I bought both dresses! One for the rehearsal dinner and one as my Matron of Honor dress for what turned about to be a beautiful wedding!
I cannot say enough good things about Janelle and her talent for just knowing "what's right" for each event, be it friend, family or client. She is very giving of herself and her time and was very patient with this mom that asked a lot of questions, changed her mind and back again and made umpteen million calls!
Janelle loves what she does and it shows in every detail.
This is not "just her job" ....it's her passion and it's what she was born to do!
Now...for that baby shower that I have to plan..... :)
