Hiring Janet (Lali) as our wedding planner, decorator, and day-of coordinator was one of the BEST decisions we made for our wedding. From the moment we booked her, she was incredib...
ly professional, warm, and organized — truly the definition of what every couple hopes for when planning their big day. Extremely budget friendly and she offers different packages to fit what each bride/couple is possibly looking for.
Her communication was flawless, and she consistently guided us with questions for our vendors that I never would’ve thought to ask. Her experience is unmatched, and it shows in every decision she makes. I only had to show her a few ideas from my Pinterest board and share my color palette, and she brought my entire floral vision to life. Our bouquets, arrangements, and décor were absolutely perfect — elegant, cohesive, and better than anything I imagined.
On the wedding day, Janet and her assistant kept everything running like a perfectly oiled machine. They handled the timeline, vendors, transitions, and every small detail with such ease that I never once felt stressed. What truly blew us away was how she went above and beyond — bussing and clearing tables throughout the reception, even though that wasn’t her responsibility at all. She saw a need and instantly stepped up so our day would remain flawless.
And let me brag for a moment: Janet decorated our entire ceremony arch, every centerpiece, and our sweetheart table, bridal bouquet, bridal party bouquets, groom and groomsmen’s pocket arrangements and family floral arrangements— and each piece looked like something straight out of a magazine. Her eye for design is unreal. She asked if I wanted to view the arrangements prior to the big day and I told didn’t need to because of how impressed I was with her prior arrangements. Needless to say she did NOT disappointment!
I truly wish weddings weren’t a once-in-a-lifetime event, because I would hire Janet again and again. She made our day seamless, beautiful, and unforgettable. If you’re looking for someone who is talented, dependable, creative, and genuinely invested in your happiness — Janet is the one.

My husband and I went into our first meeting with Janet only having the major details sorted out (colors, venue, etc). She helped us think of the smaller details like guest book, s...
igns, etc. And provided the decorations for the venue. She was truly phenomenal and we couldn’t have had our wedding without her. She made sure the day went smoothly and provided all the decorations and florals. There were no hiccups throughout the day and everything was stunning. My only regret is not hiring her earlier!
