The Planner. The Visionary. The Woman Behind the Brand.
The Heart, Vision, and Expertise Behind Weddings by Janelle
The Heart Behind Weddings by Janelle
Crafting Love Stories with Heart & Elegance
I believe great wedding planning goes far beyond pretty details.
My couples trust me because I bring:
- Over two decades of real industry experience
- Calm leadership during high-pressure moments
- Strong vendor and venue relationships
- Strategic planning and organization
- Creative vision and design expertise
- Hospitality-driven client care
- Honest guidance and advocacy throughout the process
I understand weddings from every angle — not just as a planner, but as someone who has coordinated timelines, managed teams, solved last-minute challenges, negotiated logistics, supported families emotionally, and protected my couples’ peace throughout the journey.
I don’t just “plan weddings.”
I curate experiences.
I manage emotions.
I lead teams.
I solve problems before they happen.
And most importantly — I allow my couples to fully enjoy the moments they’ve dreamed about for years.
Where Passion Meets Purpose
Why Brides Trust Me and My Team
Brides come to me because they want more than someone holding a clipboard on wedding day.
They want someone who:
- Understands their vision
- Communicates clearly
- Protects their investment
- Keeps the planning process organized
- Creates structure without removing joy
- Handles the details they don’t even know to think about
- Advocates for them throughout the entire process
Our goal is always to make my clients feel supported, celebrated, informed, and confident every step of the way.
Whether it’s a luxury ballroom wedding, a destination celebration, an intimate ceremony, or a multi-day wedding weekend — I approach every event with the same level of care, professionalism, and passion.
Why Vendors & Venues Love Working with Us
One of the greatest compliments I receive is hearing vendors and venues say:
“We love working with Janelle and her team.”
Why? Because I understand the value of collaboration.
I know how important communication, timelines, professionalism, and preparation are to the success of an event. I respect the work vendors do, and I believe the best weddings happen when everyone operates as a team.
Venues appreciate our ability to:
- Maintain organized timelines
- Manage guest flow and logistics
- Protect venue standards
- Coordinate efficiently with staff
- Anticipate needs before issues arise
Vendors appreciate my:
- Professional communication
- Clear direction
- Attention to detail
- Respect for their expertise
- Ability to keep events running smoothly and on schedule
I pride myself on creating an environment where everyone involved feels prepared, valued, and set up for success.
Beyond Weddings
In addition to wedding planning, I am also passionate about:
- Destination travel planning
- Fundraising and nonprofit events
- Community-centered experiences
- Mentorship and networking
- Hospitality and guest experiences
Through my travel services, I help couples plan destination weddings, honeymoons, Disney vacations, and unforgettable travel experiences that extend beyond the wedding day.
My heart has always been rooted in creating moments that bring people together.
I am also the Founder of Heart 2 Heart Warriors a 501(c)3 Nonprofit organization supporting
