9months ago I was newly engaged, in school, and trying to plan a wedding with most likely 180…read morepeople. I thought I was gonna stress myself out into oblivion. Desperate, I went on thumbtack and sent out a message (more like a distress signal). Among the replies I got back, Janice from Simply Elegant wedding and events reached out to me. She stood out instantly. She sent me links, and information. And a list of vendors to get on the phone right away. (Free of charge) and once we got on the phone she was extremely professional, funny, and sincere. She knew what I needed, and right away I knew I had to work with her. We made an instant connection, and I'm SO glad I found her! Throughout the past 9 months, Janice was available to me for questions I had, planning, she went with me to every vendor, helped picked our vendors, and was there for every step. Eventually I was calling her my "wedding mom". Haha! She is worth her weight in gold, and I couldn't have done it without her. My wedding was 2 weeks ago.. and it was BEAUTIFUL! Janice took control and made our dream wedding come true! Complete with my dorky Harry Potter stuff, and my husbands love for sports- she made it elegant and fun in such a seamless way. She even has an arsenal of wedding supplies and helped by bringing some of her own supplies! As well as her supplies, her vendors she works with were phenomenal! We used her caterer, make up artist, Dj (DjErick Ve) , florist , photographer, and party rentals. EVERY one of these vendors were amazing.. and a pleasure to work with. And they all worked amazing together with Janice. EVERYONE loved our wedding and we are still hearing about it from everyone. I couldn't believe the amount of detail and finesse she put into my day. And the whole time (even with the inevitable hiccups that happen- stupid ice guy never showed up) she handled everything the day of , figured it out, and allowed me and my new husband to enjoy wedding without us even knowing! If you're looking for a wedding planner that is not only VERY skilled and knowledgeable about what she does, but also someone who cares about YOU and your day. She is the one to call. Janice has become someone I love! And you better believe she will be invited to my future baby showers, and parties! Because not only is she professional.. she's a freaking BLAST to be around! Thank you Janice.. for everything. You made me feel so special and loved. And thank you for being my therapist, my "wedding mom", and my friend as well as my planner. Alex and I are SO lucky that you emailed me that one day.

I was planning my wedding on a tight budget but figured I would have to fork over 3 or 4 grand if I wanted beautiful photos. I was wrong and I couldn't be happier! Daniel offers a variety of packages with great deals. I got the Sapphire package which included a 2-hour engagement photo session, a beautiful slideshow of the photos, an engagement/wedding website, 7 hours of photo shooting on my wedding day, a slideshow of the wedding day, access to ALL of my photos, 6 photo enlargements, & a gorgeous wedding album.

But with Daniel's packages, you get online access to every photo he took!
