Weddings & Events by Janet

So glad we went with Janet Makrancy for our recent wedding! Her assistant Danielle was so helpful with getting ideas together, drafting proposal options and keeping in communication. We eventually met in person with Janet who listened to our vision and created beautiful bouquets, centerpieces and a breathtaking chuppah. All we needed to do was show her some photo examples of what we liked and didn’t like, and suddenly it all came to life. Great price for the quality of flowers we received. Our wedding was at Grounds for Sculpture in Hamilton, NJ and they have a great working relationship with the venue - book Janet Makrancy if you’re getting married at Grounds!

Danielle, an employee of Janet's took my vision and brought it to life. From day one she was very thorough and professional. Once she had an idea of what I wanted, she brought me back to view samples and sizing closer to my wedding day! There were a few things I liked and a few I didn't and she was able to modify and make changes in order to ensure I was happy! Danielle and staff also provided roses for a rose ceremony, boutonnieres, and a corsage, as well as rose petals for for the aisle. Danielle was there to deliver everything we needed day of. Janet and Danielle, I can not thank you enough for all your efforts and hard work! You made my vision come true!

We absolutely loved their work! My bouquet, the centerpieces, cake flowers, and the decorations on the gazebo were all more perfect than we could have ever asked for. We were beyond impressed with Janet, Danielle, and everyone involved with our wedding decor. We would definitely recommend Janet to anyone looking for floral design...she is an absolute artist!

We loved our floral design at our wedding. We got married at my parents' house in Princeton and Janet and Danielle were great about working with the natural beauty of the property and the design of the house to enhance the special venue. I truly appreciate that they listed to what we wanted, didn't try to oversell us on things we didn't want or need and asked a lot of specific questions to make the process so much smoother. They also helped us create an amazing tree filled with handmade paper "lovebirds" that my mother-in-law designed and a magical backyard huppah under a lit tree that photographed so beautifully. The floral they created was absolutely gorgeous and everyone was wowed.

Janet, Danielle and the whole team made our daughter's wedding an amazing day. The flower arrangements were spectacular and everyone attending commented how beautiful they were. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for someone who goes above and beyond!

For our daughter’s wedding, we chose Janet Makrancy’s Weddings and Parties for flowers and other décor. The bride’s bouquet was exquisite with soft pink and ivory florals and the addition of Captain Medoc calla lilies for the bridesmaids made a striking contrast. The arrangements at church were exactly what we wanted and the pew markers created a lovely walkway for our daughter’s procession to the altar. Once we arrived at the reception venue, it was amazing how all the decorations we selected came together. The centerpieces in the main room were ample and created a sea of pink, white, ivory and contrasting burgundy across the entire space. Draping of the dome ceiling and pin spot lights enhanced the environment so that as the sun set and darkness fell outside, the room went through a magical shift from natural sunlight pouring in to tiny white lights illuminating the space. This transformation was breath-taking. The candles in the foyer and on a grand staircase cast a warm glow on the stonework and served as a stunning backdrop for numerous photos. All in all, we were very pleased with the services provided by Janet Makrancy's Weddings and Parties and recommend them highly for your wedding.

Tim and I are so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Janet, Jon, and Danielle at Janet Makrancy’s Weddings and Parties. They were phenomenal! A very professional team that provided quality service that went above and beyond our expectations. Not only did they provide draping for the ballroom and amazing floral decorations for a gorgeous wedding ceremony and reception but meeting with this vendor was the highlight of our wedding planning! Interacting with Janet, Jon, and Danielle always made us happy and excited for our special day. We received great feedback from family and friends about how lovely and creative the decorations were. Janet and her team helped worked with us on many idea, and brought them to life and beyond what we had hoped. Down to the small details like the size of each boutonniere and the crystals being added to centerpieces and bouquets alike, Janet Makrancy’s was wonderful to work with. We have already recommended them to our friends and family and plan to use them for any events that come up in our future! Sincere thanks and gratitude, Janet, Jon, and Danielle (7.14.17, Princeton, NJ).

Janet (owner) and Danielle were absolutely fantastic to work with! The flowers were beautiful, the manzanita branch for our wedding table was to die for- perfectly decorated with flowers and candles. They are so creative and talented with floral arrangements and overall decor for weddings! The draping on the ceiling was perfect as well, it gave the whole room a romantic ambiance and worked beautifully with the other decor. The flowers, vases, and everything else was beyond beautiful. We were blown away when we walked into the reception. We cannot recommend Janet and Danielle enough!

Janet and her team did the most gorgeous work for our wedding day. The final product was perfectly curated and every piece that they contributed was perfect. They were great to work with, even when I changed my mind and added a ton of last minute details... They didn't miss a single one of those details! They made the planning process a pleasure. I would highly recommend them to anyone!

I attended a wedding and was blown away by the decor. Janet and her team designed a stunning and unique event where every detail was thought through. The table setting, flower arrangement, dance floor, decor for the bar all made the special event. They even had a "salon" living room style set up near the bar so that the guests could relax and enjoy their drinks and music. One of the most beautiful weddings I have attended!

Janet and her team went above and beyond for my fall wedding!!! They took so much time to walk me through their ideas and help paint a picture using their expertise to help create exactly the look and feel I was going for! My favorite features were dressing up boring chandeliers with beautiful greenery and flower arrangements out of a large white pumpkin that really transformed the whole feel of my event. I can't say enough about how their work really made my venue into a stunning rustic but classic setting for my day!!

Janet did my wedding June of this year- all I can say is WOW! Janet and her staff go above and beyond service and expectations. She listens to your wants and makes sure she has a perfect understanding of the "big picture" and "feel." Not only does she get the big picture down but she makes sure that even the smallest of details are met - and it is with these small details that make people notice and really have appreciation for the time and effort a couple makes in planning their big day. She is very easy to talk to and you feel like you've known her for years. I would recommend any bride to work with Janet and her team. Thanks!!

Janet did the flowers for our tented wedding held at Brearly House in Princeton NJ. I was worried about how it would look since the tent was massive (we had 500 guests)-- but she made it look like a lush floral wonderland. They tied giant fully blossumed cherry trees to the poles around the dance floor so that you didnt feel like you were inside a bland white tent. I told her i wanted to incorporate a starry night into the decor and had a hundred beautiful star shaped lanterns lit up and hung over our dance floor. I think she is the reason our weddig was features in 'NJ bride' magazine that year. Her work is exquisite and she works best when you give her artistic license to be creative. We were so happy that we have subsequently used her services for my son's circus themed birthday party and for my daughters tutus and tiaras party-- both of which were beautifully and uniquely done. I would highly recommend them for all your party needs especially if you want wedding decor that is not just boring floral centerpieces.

Janet is an amazing florist! I did not think that I was going to be picky about my flowers, and honestly I did not really have any specifics in mind when I first met with Janet. She was so helpful in drawing out of me what I wanted and what my vision was. She invited me into her work-space to see where the arrangements are made, to look at some of the flowers she has on hand and to see all the ribbon colors she had in her “ribbon room” (she can order more if you can’t find what you are looking for, but there were hundreds of choices!). She was honest and open with me about the prices of different flowers, and was open to providing suggestions for substitutions which would to lower costs for me, yet still provide the same look that I wanted. She was also able to suggest flowers based on what I said I liked, or by a simple description of something I had seen and liked. She was knowledgeable on what was in season and available fresh for our wedding date. The day of the wedding the flowers were delivered on time and looked beautiful! They were even better than the sample she had showed me in our last meeting. I was thrilled! And she even included some extra boutonnieres just incase one was misplaced by a groomsman. We could not have asked for a better florist experience. Guests and even some of the wait-staff commented on how beautiful the arrangements were. Thank you Janet for being so patient and so skilled at what you do!

Janet and her staff are not "type A." You will have to bother them to pay them! They will not return emails, and their receptionist is LOVELY, but not always accurate. However, the flowers were GORGEOUS! Janet and her staff do fabulous work. They showed up the day of the wedding promptly, and everything was as discussed, or better. Her husband Joe does pipe and drape work in ballrooms. The drape and lighting made our ballroom look beautiful. I was very happy with their work.

She provided more than we asked for to enhance the look of our ceremony & reception.Many guests remarked at how our reception looked like something from TV.

all the flowers were beautiful and she was open to new ideas;never called back, got all the flowers wrong despite many meetings
