We hired CJ and the Lonney Jane Team as an 8-week coordinator and she was an absolute lifesaver and truly the reason our wedding day went as smoothly as it did. In the final weeks...
leading up to the wedding, they stepped in and took so much stress off our plate—coordinating with vendors, finalizing timelines, and making sure every detail was accounted for.
On the wedding day, we didn’t have to worry about a single thing. They handled everything behind the scenes so seamlessly that we were able to be fully present and enjoy every moment. From keeping everything on schedule to solving any small issues before we even knew about them, they were calm, organized, and incredibly professional.
If you’re debating whether you need a planner—especially for the final month—this is your sign. Having CJ and the Lonney Jane team was worth every penny and then some.
I have to start by saying this review is long overdue. My husband and I got married in March 2023, but it’s something I’ve been meaning to write for a while. Time is a thief!
I ca...
nnot say enough great things about CJ and Dom at Lonney Jane Productions. We hired them for both Design and Day-Of Management, and it was hands-down the smartest decision we made during our entire wedding planning process. Simply put, they made everything SO easy.
They knew our venue inside and out, worked seamlessly with the staff, and had their finger on the pulse of all things wedding in New Orleans. In fact, every single vendor we hired came recommended by them, and each one was a perfect fit. They guided us every step of the way, and because of them, we truly had the wedding day of our dreams… and then some. Not exaggerating — NOTHING went wrong.
One thing that still stands out to me over two years later is how cared for I felt as a bride. If I even looked the slightest bit unsure, CJ or Dom would appear out of nowhere to ask if I needed anything — water, help finding someone, the time, you name it. They somehow blended into the background when not needed, then magically appeared the second I did. It honestly felt like magic, LOL.
And then there’s the design. Wow. I could write a book! I gave CJ my inspiration photos and shared the overall vibe I was hoping for — from there, she took the reins and absolutely blew it out of the water. On our wedding day, I remember looking around and telling her, “It looks exactly like the renderings!!!” because it truly did. It was one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen, and I’m still blown away. We still receive compliments on how beautiful our wedding was to this day!
Yes, CJ and Dom are insanely talented… that goes without saying! But most importantly, they genuinely care about their couples, take a great deal of pride in their work, and are truly kind people. That matters when you’re choosing who to spend your entire wedding day with. If you’re on the fence about hiring Lonney Jane Productions, take this as your sign to just do it — you will NOT regret it!
We had such a great experience working with Lonney Jane! CJ and Dom have such calming and warm energy. They helped everything run so smoothly on our wedding day--keeping us (& our ...
big families) on schedule without any stress. We were especially grateful for them helping us navigate the unpredictable New Orleans weather throughout our wedding weekend--the sun eventually came out, yay!!
As we were planning a wedding from afar, they also worked with us to find other amazing vendors and stay on track with our planning timeline. We are so grateful for them! Highly recommend working with this team <3
Let me first start off by saying that planning your dream wedding is not for the faint of heart. Especially when you’re moving across the country, your fiance starts medical school...
, you start a new job, and yup you guess it, your wedding is …across the country.
I think I was able to do all this mostly due to my big Capricorn energy, slightly due to my OCD and of course because we had hired team Lonney Jane.
We hired Lonney Jane Productions for event coordination.
Looking back at it all, I was able to remain calm and collected bc CJ was calm and collected.
All that being said if it’s in your budget for a wedding planner, just do it! If not then hiring them as coordinators should be your second option.
The weeks leading up to the wedding were literally stress free knowing that the Lonney Jane Productions team had our event under control.
I told them once, just once how we envisioned our day, how we wanted to feel during our day, what was most important to us and what we did not want to partake in.
They nailed it.
From the big parts of our non traditional wedding I.e me walking myself down the aisle to the smallest-how we wanted our welcome table set up. I have not a single complaint-except that I should’ve worked more over time to hire them as our wedding planners.
Cj & Dom had a big tragic life event occur right after we hired them summer 2023 but they were still able to complete production after production and in the spring help orchestra the dreamiest of days for us.
Dom was just around the corner when you needed him, especially on IG (sorry for all the DM’s haha). On our wedding day he was silent, calm, aware of everything and always present even when you didn’t see him.
Gorgeous, sweet CJ was behind the scenes with all of our vendors especially our photographer, she was there with water and fans and yup breath mints when I got a little too queasy after our first dance.
Hope was there with a straw and ice water and worked with CJ behind the scenes leading up to our ceremony to help us remain on timeline.
I could go on and on about this incredible team and how they truly gave us the best wedding day a bride & groom could ask for.
All our friends and family kept saying how smooth everything went.
I was one of the last of my bridesmaids to get married and my gals told me several times that it was the best wedding they’d been to and how great our event coordinators were.
During our speech, we thanked our vendors and stated how picking your vendors really make your wedding day.
And at the end of the night, truer words were never spoken when we said goodnight with smiles on our faces, no regrets, no complaints, just love and happiness.
Thank you Dom, CJ, and Hope for EVERYTHING! For letting our wedding be our wedding and for all your kindness!
We’ll never forget you<3

The JANISZEWSKI’s!!!!
CJ and Dom are legitimately the best planners of all time. For real. If you’re on the fence, WORK WITH THEM!!!!!! They’re worth every cent and more I promise.
We hired them as ou...
r wedding coordinators, so we didn’t have them as full service planners but honestly we should have! Not only did they make everything run SO smoothly and seamlessly, but they are incredibly detail oriented and leave no stone unturned in planning. On the day of the wedding, I was so grateful to them for keeping us informed of what was going on, what was coming up next, and always always always maintaining such a calming presence. I think that’s super underrated but CRUCIAL in a wedding planner!!!
I’ve now been to a bunch of other weddings where I’ve witnessed the planners be so disorganized, absent, and worst of all, leaving their bride and groom stressed wondering if everything is under control. I don’t know anyone else who has had an experience like ours where we have NOTHING but good things to say about our planning team. I feel so lucky to have had them constantly communicating with us throughout the day, it really put us at ease. They are great at keeping a tight schedule, but can pivot flawlessly as necessary if anything changes during the event.
They also just have such great reputations in the industry, all our other vendors were THRILLED when we told them who our planners were <3
All in all, our wedding was PERFECT and we truly could not have done it without CJ and Dom!!
Our wedding would not have been the same without Cj and Dom. They helped every step of the way from recommendations for vendors, talking through a bunch of questions, and of course...
, the design and day-of coordination. They helped all of our vendors have a great experience which made our day so smooth! With their help, our wedding was not only beautiful but we were able to enjoy it without worrying about things getting done, people being in the right place, etc. Our wedding guests were so impressed by the gorgeous design. It was a great experience!!
Finding a planner who understood and embraced my non-traditional vision was a struggle, but finding CJ and Nick was destiny! They took my dark, moody, romantic, and vampy vibes and...
ran with it. CJ helped me find decoration vendors that matched my style and gave great recommendations for non-design vendors. The rendering of what the day would look like was so helpful to envision what the day would look like. On the wedding day, everything was to die for, and CJ and Nick was there every step of the way, making sure everything was perfect. I couldn't have done it without CJ and Nick. Lonney Jane production made our wedding day beyond what we imagined. If you're a non-traditional bride, CJ and Nick are the planners you want! 🖤
It’s difficult to know where to start to effectively convey our experience with Cj and Dominick. I’m even preparing for an inevitable character limit of sorts as I attempt to pour ...
this out without getting (too) emotional.
Local to Boston, we understood the complexities of attempting to plan our wedding halfway across the country, especially considering we had previously never stepped foot in Louisiana. Call it a leap of faith or just fate, but the final differentiating factor in our choice to have a destination wedding in New Orleans was knowing we’d have Cj & Dominick in our corner. And now, they are stuck with us.
From the jump, we prioritized a bespoke experience for our guests – with two grooms, we wanted to write our own rules and throw away the proverbial playbook. At every turn, they overdelivered, and by no means did we take it easy on them. Throughout the course of planning and development, we finally landed on two back to back events that took place at two different locations across the city from one another. Although it sounds like a logistical pretzel, it was pure poetry in motion – and Cj & Dominick were at the center. We threw curveballs. They hit home runs. We wanted to do things differently. They continually said, “What’s next?” We even indulged for a secret, late McDonald’s french-fry pass on the dance floor….and the fries were HOT – I ask the universe, what can’t they do??
We all like to romanticize the idea of our weddings, but nothing prepared me for the moment I walked into both of our venues. The serotonin still continually floods my brain – it was an out-of-body experience in the most incredible way, as I can still hear the gasps and chatter between our guests as they entered, one by one. I’ll say it until I’m blue in the face….there’s no one better than this powerhouse duo and the spectacular vendor teams they lined up for us on our special day. They are true artists and if you are in the fortunate need of some event planning magic, these pros are the only choice.
On a final note, Cj & Dominick were the center of our universe for the past ~15 months and we even feel lost without our routine touch points. By nature, our biggest priority in vendor selection was surrounding ourselves with good humans – the type of people who you would gravitate towards in a crowded room. No pair fulfill that better than these two. I feel so privileged that fate brought my thumbs to the Lonney Jane Productions Instagram page a few winters ago (insert shameless plug for all their phenomenal content that I can’t wait to continue to watch). Thank you both again for delivering the most unforgettable experience of our lives. Sending our love from beantown!
BEST of the BEST! I know it sounds cheesy but I can not say enough words or write enough to sum up how incredible it was to work with Cj and Dom! They are truly the best! ❤️ and wi...
ll always think of our time with the best memories because of this duo! So sweet, funny, understanding and overall amazing souls!!
We reached out to quite a few planners when starting this process and just their response already stood out to us. Needless to say we immediately jumped to have them on our side! Celebrating our big day in April couldn’t have been the same if we didn’t have them there. They made everything just out of this world! The encouragement, attention to detail and service was everything we could have ever dreamed of and trust me the day was absolutely magical. I remember having a moment of absolute gratitude when I saw our ceremony set up for the first time and I got so emotional (because it was perfect), Cj was right there by my side to calm me and give me sweet words!
Love ❤️ them so so much!

acts 8 weeks prior to our wedding. I honestly didn't have to worry about anything day of! They created our timeline and made sure everything ran smoothly.
Can I get an amen for this incredible planning duo of CJ and Dominick! We struck gold when we found them. I was about to book someone else and it was kismet that we found them by a...
bit of luck on Instagram. Serendipitous to say the least, and best decision we made in the whole process was to get ourselves these two as event managers. Wow! CJ and Dominick coached us through the entire process. YOU MUST book these two for your day if you want to truly enjoy your wedding day and the ENTIRE process leading up to it. They made sure that all our visions became reality. My husband and I always felt so SEEN by them and what we were trying to create. CJ has this amazingly calm presence and as a bride you need that. So I really appreciated that on the big day to make sure that everything flowed perfectly and I felt so at ease. And they helped us achieve the party of the century. It wasn't just a wedding. It was a concert. It was a music festival. It was the party that everyone needed to celebrate love, life, and friendship that so many of us were starving for after 2+ years dealing with COVID. This team will no let you down, and will consistently LIFT YOU UP! I know that we made lifetime friends of CJ and Dom and I'm so thankful they are in our lives, starting with one of the most important milestones for my husband and I. They are magical humans who go above and beyond in what they do. You cannot go wrong with LJP as they make sure everything is RIGHT. And beautiful, glowing, and unforgettable.
When it comes to wedding planners, I'm fairly certain you could search the world over, and you will find no others who can hold a flame to the talent, precision, professionalism, a...
rtistry, and compassion of Cj and Dominic at Lonney Jane Productions. My partner and I were supposed to be married in October of 2020, but had to cancel due to the pandemic. When we decided to reschedule for November of 2021, we made the difficult decision to have a guest-less wedding, LIVEstreaming our ceremony for friends and our families. This meant that, at our wedding, there would be only myself, my partner, our doggie, and our vendors. Cj and Dom held the space so beautifully for us throughout our wedding day and evening, making what was an empty venue feel rich and overflowing with warmth and familiarity -- when you meet them, it's like visiting with dear friends, as if you've picked up right where you left off, and their ability to set such a calm, grounded, kindred tone is truly breathtaking. Cj and Dom are humble and unassuming, despite being the two most talented event coordinators on the planet, and their kindness will ensure that you wedding day is all that much smoother, connected, and meaningful, thanks to the energy they bring to what they do. Every detail, from the logistical to the creative, will astound you and take what you dreamed of and amplify it tenfold (at least). I could go on and on, but there really aren't words to express how talented this team is, nor are their words to describe how authentic and kind they are; there also are not words to express how much my partner and I appreciate them and the fact that they turned our guest-less wedding into the most memorable night of our lives. I can say this -- if you're looking for a wedding planning team, you truly need look no further -- Lonney Jane Productions is the best -- hire them now.
Working with CJ and Dominick at Lonney Jane Productions was great! We had a very intimate elopement so we hired Lonney Jane Productions with their coordinator package. Having an i...
nitial phone call, there was an instant connection knowing that we would be in good hands with this team. Lonney Jane Productions was very professional, responded in a timely manner, and took care of everything for us on our wedding day so we didn't have to stress about anything. They were able to help us with transportation services and answered any questions we had about our wedding. When our wedding day came, we were relaxed and had such a good time! When Cj and Dominick took over the planning the month before the wedding, everything went so smoothly. They handled every detail and communicated with our vendors, but kept us in the loop. We were able to enjoy our wedding day so much more because we knew Lonney Jane had everything handled and everything was flawless!
It goes without saying that planning our wedding during the pandemic amid venue closures, regulations, and overall fear that our event was going to be canceled was stressful. But w...
orking with CJ and Dominick of Lonney Jane Productions honestly made the process smoother than we could ever have imagined. They are THE BEST. Hands down.
From the initial phone call, we knew we were in amazing hands. They worked endlessly to take our visions for our wedding and craftily brought them to life. Their eye for design, hard work, and thoughtful attitudes were greatly appreciated by us. They worked around our schedules (with different time zones) to really get a feel for what we wanted and they took the time to understand cultural incorporations that we wanted to add to the day.
When pandemic restrictions threatened the vibe of the wedding, CJ and Dom rescued us and then DELIVERED! We had to cancel with our original venue 1.5 months before the wedding date and they found us another venue almost immediately! It was so seamless-they were like our fairy godmothers. We trusted them without even getting to see the venue in person before the big day! If you are looking for planners that will help you truly create the bespoke, magical design of your dreams, look no further! They ARE the team! You will not regret it!
They are organized, professional, flexible, accommodating, and overall just amazing people! Their passion for design and planning is so transparent in the way they take care of you-each client becomes family for them. We are so grateful to have had them with us for our special day and we want you to have the same for your day! Book them now!!
Ohhhh 2020. It’s been glorious (that’s sarcasm). Wow, Cj and Dom were seriously amazing. The unknowns of 2020, constant changes in restrictions, regular stress of planning a weddin...
g...it was intense to say the least. Cj and Dom were SO patient with my freak outs, and there was many. They were so great at putting out fires (literally) the day of, and just had such a calm energy that you really need while trying to plan a wedding during a pandemic. I had gotten them for the month before and day of package, but if it’s in your budget, I’d go ahead and hire them from start to finish. Just let them handle it all, especially if your wedding falls during COVID times. Trust me. They’re worth it.
Cj and Dominick were the PERFECT planners! We went with the wedding coordination package and are so thankful that we did. After our first call with Cj, we were confident that we'd...
be in good hands! The coordinator package was perfect for us because we wanted to be involved in selecting/communicating with the vendors, but Cj was there for us at every step of the way when we had questions. We'd have a list of questions each time we talked, but I was stress-free by the end of each call with her! When Cj and Dominick took over the planning the month before the wedding, everything went so smoothly. They handled every detail but kept us in the loop. We were able to enjoy our wedding day so much more because we knew Lonney Jane had everything handled. Our wedding was perfect thanks to Cj and Dominick!
Cj and Dominick were the perfect team for us! They took over wedding coordination 2 months out from our wedding, and wow - what a weight off my shoulders! Cj jumped right in with ...
all contract and vendor management, making sure everything would run smoothly on the big day. I was so thankful to have Cj's expertise, as she thought through every detail and made some great recommendations. She and Dom are calm and collected, very warm and professional, quick to respond, and very supportive! I would absolutely recommend working with them, so you can sit back and enjoy your special day without any worries!
CJ and Dominick are a dream team! We planned most of our wedding over the course of the year, but wanted day-of coordination. LJP took the reigns about a month in, taking over all ...
correspondence with vendors, double-checking contracts and upcoming payments, and generally helping us to remain level-headed. In hindsight, we *literally* would not have been able to pull the wedding day off without their coordination. They created minute-by-minute (actually, though) timelines for us, for themselves, and for the vendors. They managed all the events of the day and made sure everything happened smoothly--from letting the ceremony musician know when he needed to play what song, to placing our second line umbrellas in the exact right spot so we wouldn't have to search for them when we exited for the parade. Things I would never have thought of until it would've been too late. Our venue wanted everything loaded out and broken down by midnight, which CJ and Dominick also facilitated. It really allowed us to enjoy our wedding day, and I honestly think it was pulled off without a single hitch because of them. And besides all their professional expertise (of which they have infinite quantities), at the end of the day, they're both just lovely people who have a sense of humor. Who wants to work or collaborate with someone difficult? Certainly not me. Book them!!!!
My wife, Allison, knew she wanted Dominick and CJ to plan our wedding from the jump -- and she was so right. They were so helpful from the planning phase all the way through until ...
the end. Dominick and CJ were very helpful in bringing my bride's vision to life -- and they were conscious of our budget, our time and our expectations -- and together they knocked it out of the park. It was not only a perfectly planned and executed wedding, but Dominick and CJ made it a very memorable and exciting day for us. There were no problems too small or obstacles too big for this tandem to take care of, and they answered every question and solved every problem and facilitated all the nuances and tasks that no one could foresee in throwing a wedding. I thank CJ and Dominick for bringing our wedding vision together in amazing fashion and are so grateful to have had them there with us for the occasion.
Dream Curators!
Once I booked my wedding venue at Race and Religious, I knew I needed to hire a designer/event planner to make my dreams come to life. I was searching for specific...
"alternative" wedding planners who could make my visions come to life. The moment I found LonneyJane i knew I wanted to hire them ASAP. We could not have had our dream wedding without Cj and Dominick. They are such creative, professional, and SWEET people. They helped us navigate a destination wedding from DC, listened to more than one venting session, and produced the most amazing day of my life. I didn't worry at all the day of my wedding because I knew they had every detail under control. They are also sooo nice which makes a world of difference when dealing with the stress of wedding planning. I highly recommend!!
CJ and her team were great! Super professional and organized. We couldn’t have asked for a better planner. Thanks for making our wedding ROCK!
CJ and Dominick are simply A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!! In fact, words cannot do justice how invaluable they have been to JP and I over our epic journey towards our wedding this past weekend. F...
rom the moment we met CJ, she instantly brought us out of a state of overwhelming panic and confusion. She had personalized checklists, made phone calls for us, and told us not to worry about countless things, as she did them for us. She was also constantly in touch with both of us to remind us of things we needed to do and always made herself available for a chat or a meeting. CJ saved us so much time and unnecessary stress that came with organizing our wedding, she is actually a lifesaver. Our wedding was amazing, and was practically perfect. CJ was there from the very beginning coordinating everyone and everything. The day of the wedding could not have gone any better and we owe it all to CJ & Dominick. They made sure everyone was were they should be and on time. Checked in with all the vendors and help set up our reception space. They were on time and made everything stress free and perfect. Not only is CJ ridiculously organized, she is an extremely genuine, caring and the loveliest soul you could meet. Her presence made EVERY difference to me before and during the wedding. If you are looking for someone to assist with planning your special day, I honestly cannot recommend CJ & Dominick highly enough. Thank you thank you thank you <3
Since this was a destination wedding and I had to release a lot of control I thought this wedding planning was going to be a disaster but Lonney Jane made it effortless. From the ...
smallest detail to the crazy heat and unexpected. They were on it. Wouldn’t have done it with any other company and believe me I interviewed many. They are the best
Down to earth and well-rounded husband and wife team. They have a close relationship with many great vendors in the city and they did a great job making sure our day ran smoothly a...
nd as we pictured. Thank you CJ and Dom!!!!
CJ and Dom are the only people you need at your wedding (okay....aside from your partner of course) but seriously...one more time for the people in the back....THESE PEOPLE ARE AWE...
SOME!!! HIRE THEM!
From the initial conversation, we always felt our needs were prioritized, everything was personalized, and the level of “hand holding” was perfect for a couple in Kansas City who still wanted to pull off a “Junebug worthy” wedding without having to do much more than make some decisions about the color of tablecloths.
CJ’s eye for design is incredible, their recommendations for vendors were as if they’d been living in my head, and they regularly went above and beyond to ensure whatever dream vision (that regularly shifted) based on the whatever Pinterest photo I saw that week became a reality on our wedding weekend.
Most of all, they are funny, flexible, and genuinely good people who will make you laugh, share a glass of wine w you when things get stressful, go with your strange train of thought when it comes to your “wants” (cake of cheese) and gently bring you back to earth when you go too far (think: being led in on a camel) while still recommending reasonable possibilities that fit within your budget.
Thank you CJ and Dom for making our dream a reality. Single best decision we made (aside from saying “I do)! You will not regret it!
Hiring a wedding planner was something I was on the fence about when planning my wedding. But thank god I did!!! I couldn’t have done it without CJ and Dominick!!! My wedding day c...
ouldn’t have been any more perfect and I thank these guys for this!!! The day was flawless!! CJ has a calming way about her and lord knows I needed that through out the planning and our wedding day! She listened to everything I wanted and followed through perfectly. I can’t thank these guys enough!!!!
CJ and Dominick were the perfect planners for us! We live in Brooklyn, NY and so we knew we needed a full planning package in order to full of a wedding in New Orleans. It was TOTA...
LLY worth it. From the beginning, they were the most responsive planners we that reached out to. Cj was extremely warm and seemed genuinely excited about our vision from our first call. Our inspiration was the 1996 version of Romeo and Juliet, and she and Dominick had tons of great ideas.
Their vendor contacts were invaluable! Cj gave us great options for catering, photography, videography, florals, etc.. that were all within our budget. We would have never found most of them online, and it would've taken us triple the time to vet them on our own. Not to mention, it was comforting to know that our planners had worked with these vendors before.
Over the 9 months we worked together, Cj and Dominick helped with every little detail. They never made us feel like we were asking for too much and they always made time for any necessary conversations. No detail ever slipped through the cracks.
One huge relief for us was that they stored so many wedding items for us. We shipped rugs, huge neon signs, gifts for the wedding party and more. We were able to do a lot of things ahead of time because of this, which saved us time, money and stress leading up to the wedding.
The day of the wedding, we felt so incredibly taken care of by Cj and Dominick!!! They were extremely organized. They were great at communicating any changes to us in a reassuring manner, but also not overwhelming us with unnecessary details. So many of our wedding party members and family members told us how impressed they were with our planners.
We truly could not have done it without Cj and Dominick! I can't stress enough what a good decision it was to hire them for the full planning package. Knowing that they were along with us through the entire planning process, and knew every detail, made it a million times less stressful when the big day arrived!
We can't wait to visit them in NOLA again some day :)
Creative, lovely, and experienced!
My husband and I currently live in Vietnam/ Hong Kong and wanted to do a wedding party in New Orleans. We had the venue (Race + Religious locked...
in) and got CJ involved 4 months before the wedding.
I was worried since we didn't have that much time to plan but after we signed with CJ, all my troubles went away. I was so relaxed and it seriously felt like all I needed to do was show up!! I showed up in New orleans 3 days before the wedding and was just hanging out with friends, and no details about the wedding was lingering on my mind. That's how confident and relaxed CJ and her team made me feel!!
Top reasons to work with LJP:
1) AMAZING DESIGN: The team executed our theme brilliantly - they are SO creative and the designs turned out amazing. (Our team was a pastel garden that turned into a Adam&eve whimsical garden at night and the team pulled out the most incredible transition! There was a cool snake charmer, trees with apples hanging from them, branches and apples on the tables. It was COOL)
2) FLEXIBILITY: CJ was so flexible on altering designs, food menus, etc and always gave us options to choose from. We also changed up the ceremony format a few weeks before the wedding and it was so easy!
3) THEY GO BEYOND: 4 days before the wedding, we asked if CJ had any recommendations for a crawfish boil for 100 people. She immediately helped me find a caterer who took care of everything (food, venue, etc), and we decided within a day and made the crawfish boil happen in 3 days.
Victor and I want to say thank you so much to you CJ and your team for the best weekend!!
I absolutely could not have planned my New Orleans wedding without CJ. I’m based in Brooklyn and used her event management services. Before she took complete control over my vendor...
s a month out from our wedding day she was a great resource for vendor referrals and talking me down from mini-panic attacks. She has the best, soothing personality. Prices are reasonable and she was always ready and willing to work with our budget. The day of the event I didn’t have to worry about a thing!
Investing in Lonney Jane for day of coordination/event management was the best wedding planning decision that we made. It is so hard to do justice to the amazing experience I had ...
working with Cj and Dominick, but I'll do my best!
From the first time I talked to Cj on the phone, I knew that her experience would be invaluable. I am local, but my family is out of town, so from the very beginning, Cj helped us identify the best vendors to work with including our venue, florist, wedding band, second line band, and cake. These vendors all worked together to bring my vision to life and I am so grateful for we had the recommendations.
Even though we selected the day of coordination package, Cj was available to calm my nerves and answer any questions that I had in the months leading up to the wedding. Cj also looked over my contracts in advance to make sure no details were missing.
A few weeks before the wedding, Cj and Dominick took over all of the contracts, finalizing any last minute details with the vendors so that I didn't have to. When the wedding day arrived, they had every detail handled and made sure everything went smoothly. They were prepared for anything - from bandaids when I got blisters to shout wipes when I spilled on my wedding dress!
It was such a pleasure to work with Lonney Jane. I will be forever grateful to Cj and Dominick for executing the wedding of my dreams. Whether you are a local or out-of-town, this is the most amazing investment and wedding gift you can give yourself!
We knew we would need full service planning because we were planning our wedding in New Orleans from Los Angeles. My husband and I both work a lot, we work odd hours, are two time...
zones away from New Orleans, and were looking to have our wedding only 9 months away from our initial conversation with Lonney Jane Productions. CJ assured us she would make it work, and boy did she! I initially picked her because I knew planning a wedding is supposed to be stressful, and she immediately put me at ease. She accommodated late phone calls to discuss details because we didn't have availability during normal business hours to talk with her. I only made it down to New Orleans twice prior to the wedding, and she helped schedule hair and make up trials, venue walk throughs, etc. She dealt with all my incessant emails in the middle of the night full of anxiety ridden questions with calm expertise and professionalism. She listened to all of my requests and made it a reality with her knowledge of local vendors, while still being mindful of our budget. Her and Dominick coordinated second lines, street cars, vendors, contracts, venue staff, EVERYTHING! They troubleshooted any hiccup during the planning process for us. For example, our save the dates were sent to them printed much darker than how they viewed online. No problem! They had the company reprint them not once, but twice, free of charge to remedy the situation. CJ even made suggestions for things we didn't even know we wanted until she suggested them, and then we had to have them! I'm very detail oriented and a bit of a perfectionist. As the process went on I felt comfortable simply trusting her suggestions, and everything turned out picture perfect! She really listened to our vision for the wedding and turned it into truly the best day of our lives! The day of, CJ and Dominick were flawless! They made everything run so smoothly and kept us stress free to enjoy it all. The next day a family member came up to me and said, "I don't know how much you paid that planner, but she is worth double! She was invisible but was always right there!" They did an amazing job and the level of service they provide for their price is incredible!
First of all, if you are even considering going with CJ and Dominick as wedding planners JUST DO IT!!!! They are phenomenal at what they do and they make the process SO enjoyable. ...
I am a 4th-year medical student and knew I would be traveling for half of the year during wedding planning season. CJ kept me on track and stress-free while planning my New Orleans wedding. From the second I had my first phone conversation with her, she made me feel at ease with the entire process. I could tell she was extremely organized and had great connections as far as vendors go in New Orleans. She helped me choose literally every single vendor, coordinated all the contracts, food tastings, and helped with all aspects of the design. She was there to answer my MILLION questions as the day approached. She helped me to know what things to focus on and when. In the week before my wedding (the exact point in time where suddenly you're flooded with personal questions, questions from your guests, logistics etc) CJ was there to answer ALL of my questions/concerns. She even helped me put together last minute details that I thought of LITERALLY 48 hours before the big day. She never once made me feel like I was a bother (although I'm sure I was a pain haha). She always made me feel like #1 no matter how needy I was. On the day of, CJ and Dominick ensured that it was the best day of my life by having everything run like clockwork. My dad, who was initially skeptical of hiring a wedding planner, was SUUUPER thankful for CJ and Dom after seeing all that they did for the whole process! We couldn't believe how stress-free and smoothly everything ran. I honestly think its a very reasonable investment for ALLLL the work and detail they put into planning. Even if I wasn't traveling or in school I would 100% hire them again just because they reduced so much stress and made it all so fun.
CJ & Dominick spent almost two years working with us to plan the wedding of our dreams. We both live in Colorado, and having our "destination" wedding in NOLA (with no one we knew ...
or could trust) was extremely intimidating. From the moment I spoke w CJ she was organized, a great listener, creative and knew every step we needed to take to make our weekend a **stress free** success. She took the reigns and I was able to trust every choice or recommendation she made without regret. Both of them went ABOVE AND BEYOND in every aspect imaginable. Every vendor they selected for us, recommendations for our guests, keeping our budget in check, helping with our favors, organizing RSVPS's, unpacking all of our boxes we had shipped from CO, etc. - literally EVERY single thing we asked of them was completed with enthusiasm and genuine love for their profession. We secured deposits without worrying about where our money was going, they decorated our venue BEAUTIFULLY (she really did listen to everything we wanted- also..their candle package= worth it!!), and kept our wedding day organized and efficient. Dominick was so great decorating and matching our design scheme (I was all over the place with my ideas haha) and he brought my wildest dreams to life. You name it - they did it without us having a second thought and it turned out absolutely amazing. We also needed a last minute rain plan. They had everything organized and ready to go the week of. All we needed to do was choose the best option, paid and traveled down to New Orleans without any stress. For anyone thinking about working with them- PLEASE do!!! You will not regret it. Their work is the highest quality and they are worth every single penny you pay them (and then some)!! Over the last two years CJ & Dominick have become cherished friends and we were so sad to say goodbye!! To see how they have grown their business has been such a joy and to see the final product at our wedding day was incredible. It was the wedding of our dreams and it wouldn't have been possible without these two!! We will forever hold a special place in our hearts for them. If anyone reading this is on the fence with their decision- meet this beautiful, talented couple and see what they can do for you!!

nd with her day of coordination duties, anytime I got stressed out about planning our wedding she was an email or phone call away. On the day of our wedding I had NOTHING to worry about from start to finish, and she kept our very big family on time! Best part - we never had an empty drink in our hands! My husband and I are so grateful to Lonney Jane, we truly could not have gotten through this experience without them. They made it flawless!
Southern hospitality; the utmost professionalism; with a huge amount of creativity. We were so lucky to have found Cj and Nick to help guide us through this process. Planning a lon...
g distance event, not to mention an intimate vow renewal (not your typical event) was daunting. They helped us find all the right vendors to make our vision a reality. And, were there every step of the way. A truly magical night thanks to them.
CJ and Dominic go above and beyond for their couples and we are so thankful to have worked with them! Very responsive to emails, sweet all the time, bossy when needed, and hustling...
always!! They are super discreet (aka, they won't get in your photographer or videographer's shots!!) and work well behind the scenes so I thought they could use some recognition! You won't regret using them for all of your wedding planning needs!
CJ and Dominic did an amazing job as our day of coordinators. Having a destination wedding was so low stress because of all the work that they did confirming our vendors ahead of ...
time, making a timeline of the day, and handling every bit of the set-up and tear-down. I didn't have to worry about anything and was able to just enjoy the day.
I gave them general guidelines of what I wanted done with my decor and they ran with it, making our wedding space even more beautiful and put together than I every imagined. CJ was prepared for every emergency - even re-gluing my eyelash for me! Hiring them as our day of coordinators was worth every single penny.
Even my now-husband commented on how hard they were working and what an amazing job they did with our wedding. I would hire them again in a second! I don't know how we would have done it without them.
I had such an amazing experience working with CJ & Dominick. They are so professional & on top of everything they make sure EVERYONE has a blast! I would 100% recommend them!!!!!!!
Our daughter was married on June 30, 2018, and without CJ and Dominick I would have lost my mind! My daughter did NOT want a wedding planner BUT she became overwhelmed with her ful...
l time job, doing her masters, and spending her extra time enjoying her "soon to be" 3-year-old son! It then became MY responsibility so I asked her if she minded me hiring THE DAY OF wedding planners? She said no, of course. She could see I was overwhelmed myself. CJ and Dominick - from the get go were AMAZING!!!! I knew from our first meeting that I made the right choice and my daughter and her maid of honor TOTALLY agreed. What a perfect fit! When I say perfect, I mean in EVERY way and EVERY detail. There was nothing that was overlooked or not considered by CJ and Dominick. I thank God every day that I found them and do yourself a favor (like I wish I would have done) - hire them for MORE than THE DAY OF -- they will NOT disappoint!!!!! They care SO much, not only about what you want, but they dote on the bride like you would NOT believe - I think my daughter thought she was a REAL princess that day!!! Thank you, CJ & Dominick, for treating her like I always felt she deserved on her special day!
CJ and her husband were absolutely wonderful! I couldn’t imagine getting through the wedding day without them. They were very professional and had a calming demeanor which is much ...
needed on the big day! :)
Writing a review for CJ and Dominick of Evermore Weddings has been intimidating me because I do not know how words can fully describe how supportive, responsive, organized, and am...
azing they are.
Let me paint you a picture. I am a hyper detail oriented designer who needs a detailed plan for most things, I am a list maker, I am a worrier, and I was in NYC planning a destination New Orleans wedding. CJ and Nick were there every step of the way. I will go more into details about the ways CJ especially was there leading up to the big day, but I want to focus this review on the big day.
It is pretty standard to have a rain plan for your wedding. We were getting married outside in the New Orleans Botanical Garden and while we hoped for good weather, we had a rain plan that involved a few buildings at the gardens and a couple tents for the wedding. We actually had two different rain plans - one for severe rain and one for light rain. For average days, having plans A-C is enough.
April 14th, 2018 had to prove me wrong. I woke up on my wedding day for a 6:30 hair/makeup wake up call with my bridesmaids. CJ would join us later after checking in at the venue with Dominick to get everything going. I knew it would rain that day (I had been hawkishly watching 3 weather sites for weeks) so the day was overcast, but we had our plans in place!
But Mother Nature had other plans. Around 8am, the hair stylist mentioned to the makeup artist that she and her husband brought in their lawn furniture the night before because there were supposed to be 75mph winds. One of my bridesmaids covered my ears and said not to worry. Less than an hour later, my mom got the call from CJ and it felt like my heart stopped - the tent vendor cancelled the reservation due to a tornado warning and the insurance risk of high winds. We didn't have a tornado plan. Or so I thought. Because while I was collapsing with anxiety and emotion, CJ informed us she had already talked to all the vendors and that they could all do the wedding the next day during the day time. She also said our vendors could all accommodate a later start time that same night if we wanted to risk the rain to keep our date. CJ had all the different possibilities figured out before calling to give me the options for how to proceed, and adapted fluidly into speaking with one of my maids of honor to coordinate, as I was busy collapsing and details were a struggle at that point.
The wedding day was perfect. The sun was shining, the weather was lovely, everything was beautiful, and the party was amazing. It felt right that it happened when it happened. But I know that without CJ and Dominick smoothing everything behind the scenes, it likely would not have happened at all.
In the lead up to the wedding, CJ was amazing with sending vendor options, answering every question I had (often answering the same question from me, my mom, then one of us again), putting together timelines for the lead up to the big day, planning agendas for when I visited to maximize our time, breaking down the day of minute by minute, holding my hand, working to find me the perfect florist fit for my very detailed floral design vision (it included a Pantone color palette, flower crowns for the whole party, and a dog flower wreath), and more.
I cannot say enough for why you should hire this dream team. I actually cannot, because I have reached the review character limit. Consider this the most glowing review it is possible to give.

Being that neither of us were familiar the city we relied heavily on CJ’s expertise and recommendations, and she did not disappoint! Cj and Dominick were both incredibly instrumental in making our big day a success. Our only regret is not hiring her as our full-time wedding planner.
CJ and Dominick, we’re a few months late with our review, but thank you both for all your hard work and dedication to making our wedding as memorable as it was. You guys are the best!

CJ was extremely helpful in recommending where to take pictures the day of and offering solutions before things were problems to offering to walk everything back from our venue in the French Quarter to our hotel on Saturday night.
CJ and Dominick were wonderful, and we would highly recommend that you hire them for your wedding.

s a destination wedding (coming from the east coast), when I realized I was not cut out for wedding planning. My husband and I have hectic work schedules and the last thing we needed on our plate was worrying about planning a wedding. That is where CJ and Dom came in- from day one after meeting them we knew we wanted to work with them because of their professional and calm manner, with a reassuring, expert answer to every single one of our questions. CJ also knew how to help manage our families and navigate dealing with many opinions. They were there by our side during the whole process- so supportive and easy to work with. They are also VERY organized (so important!) and make a great team. We really owe the success of the wedding to them, we could not have done it without them!!
There are no words for how glad I am to have hired Evermore! They made sure my wedding day was perfect. I had anxiety leading up to the day because I’m neurotic, but on the day of,...
it was smooth sailing because I knew that CJ and Dominick had it HANDLED. CJ was that wonderful friend that made me laugh while assuring me that everything was taken care of, which as a bride, I thoroughly appreciated. She and Dominick were just so absolutely awesome in every way! There were several times throughout the planning process, and on the day of, that I thought to myself ‘I AM SO HAPPY I HIRED THEM, there’s no freaking way I would have been able to handle this on my own!’
They have experience with second lines, they’re able to think on their toes and have multiple backup plans, and they’re all around lovely people who know how to deal with all the craziness that happens while planning/experiencing a wedding. I’ll miss chatting with CJ! *sniff* Alas, my friends are all married, but if anyone I know gets engaged, I’ll know where to send them!
I'll cut to the chase - just hire them! CJ and Dominick really are as amazing as every review makes them sound. They made our day happen, made us feel comfortable and my new husban...
d and I still rave about them and how great they are. My parents also loved CJ and Dominick and all the work they did. They really took care of us - even when I had a mid-wedding request. They are sweet, personable and organized. We can't thank them enough!

pful to be able to communicate with CJ throughout the process (rather than the month of the wedding like many other planners stipulated if you weren't booking them for full planning services). Because we were out of town, we didn't actually meet CJ and Dominick in person until the day before our wedding, but we felt like we already knew them based on how responsive they had been via email and text. Since we were flying into New Orleans, it was extremely helpful that they allowed us to ship things to their house instead of having to pack everything. On our wedding day, they handled everything calmly and capably - including a minor issue we had with the caterer and some major issues with the dj and the band. They were so nice to our family who were with us throughout the day at the venue and our dog (who played a major part in our wedding). We are so appreciative of all of their hard work and wish that we could bring them up to the tri-state area for help with future events!
Ladies and Fellas- LISTEN! Evermore was the BEST decision we made for our big day. We hired Cj and Dominick for Event Management and they completely 100% exceeded our expectations...
. Our wedding was perfect thanks to their coordination. End your search here! You wont be disappointed. Thanks Evermore!
