Janelle - Owner & Lead Planner
I’ve loved weddings and special events for as long as I can remember. Even as a kid, I was mesmerized by beautiful details and equally obsessed with how everything worked behind the scenes. Over the years, I’ve turned that passion into expertise, helping couples swap planning stress for pure joy from start to finish.
I take the time to truly get to know every couple so I can design a day that feels like them in every way. There’s nothing I adore more than watching my couples dance the night away while I quietly make sure everything flows seamlessly. As your planner, I’m right by your side, supporting you, guiding you, and cheering you on every step of the way.
Favorite Things
- My Family - My husband and I have been in love since 2010 and married since 2014. We love spending time with our two little humans, Miles and Kerrigan, our dog Waffles, and you'll frequently find us having impromptu karaoke concerts in our kitchen!
- Food - As an Arizona native, my clear favorite is Mexican. Carne asada and margaritas, please!
- Yellow - It's such a bright and cheery color. Who doesn't smile when looking at such a happy color?
