Deciding to hire Janice as a partial wedding planner was one of the best decisions for my wedding! I live on the island and figured it would be easy enough to plan it all on my own and just hire a day-of coordinator but after having the initial consultation and seeing the different package options, I knew I had to hire her. Janice gave helpful suggestions and advice when it came to my wedding including all the small little details. She was always pretty quick to respond to my text messages whenever I had questions in between our meetings. She never made me feel bad about any of my decisions but she did let me know if there was any potential issues that may occur. I truly believe all those extra planning sessions with Janice made my wedding from "pretty nice" to "absolutely breathtaking." I've gotten so many compliments with how it all turned out! My bridal party and my family even told me how much they liked her and how they enjoyed how she handled rehearsal and wedding day. There are not enough words for me to express my gratitude and thankfulness to her. I'm so happy that I hired her, I had the wedding of my dreams read more

Wedding Planner 808 - Wedding Planning Near Me

Janice and her team are true professionals. She took time early on in the planning process to understand what we wanted and she executed beautifully.

My husband and I were looking for a day of wedding coordinator. Janice's day-of coordination service was amazing! Janice is incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, organized, well connected to other local vendors, and experienced in planning and executing. Janice met with my husband and I to go over the theme and our vision for the wedding. When we didn't know which vendors to pick, Janice recommended vendors who would be good fits. Janice and her team are also flexible and work with us! About 3-4 months before the wedding day, our original venue cancelled on us and we had to change our venue! We secured a new venue but had to change the date of the wedding. Through this stressful period, Janice was responsive and was able to work with us through the changes. As the wedding day grew closer, Janice reached out to make sure we completed all the meetings we needed to confirm the timeline and all other items. Her initiative was much appreciated during that busy time. On the wedding day, we had Dasia, Shanon, and Jane executing the wedding. They were so wonderful and on top of things! They arrived at the venue before the wedding party did and received our flower delivery. When the wedding party was taking photos, Shanon was actively helping with fixing the wedding dress. They made sure things were moving smoothly and we were sticking to the timeline. If anything went wrong on the wedding day, we didn't know about it, so Dasia, Shanon, and Jane must have taken care of it! The wedding day was long and could've been stressful, but Janice, Dasia, Shanon, and Jane were excellent in taking care of the details and executing the wedding with our vision in mind. The wedding day was as we imagined! Our wedding guests were also very impressed by their service and only had great things to say! My husband and I highly recommend Wedding Planner 808!!! read more

Janice did an amazing job coordinating my ceremony at Kualoa Ranch Secret Island. She was experienced and thorough. She recommended things I wouldn't have thought of. She made sure everything was executed beautifully and on time. She made the day so much smoother for me. She went above any beyond to make sure we had a beautiful ceremony. I can't say enough positive things about her! read more

Janice and her team were excellent. She helped our big day run smoothly and helped out so much. We only had an hour to set up our reception for 200 guests and along with her help we got it all done in that time frame. She'll ask you what you have envisioned for the day and will deliver. 10/10 recommend! read more

We hired Janice as our day-of coordinator for our wedding, and we are so glad that we did! We wanted to plan as much of the wedding ourselves, as we wanted our wedding to be a reflection of who we are as a couple. However, this was the first time either my husband or I had ever planned an event of this size on our own, so we knew we needed help. Each consultation we had with Janice leading up to the day was EXTREMELY productive. We went through every little detail, and she even brought up points we hadn't even considered. It was very easy working with her, as she was very responsive throughout the entire process. Fast forward to a few weeks before the wedding, where various last minute changes were being made (and I was freaking out a little bit), but Janice remained extremely accommodating. She made all my requests seem like no problem, which eased my nerves greatly. Any request we had, she incorporated. When the day finally came, everything flowed so smoothly, and neither myself nor my husband had to worry! All I had to worry about was having the time of my life. Thank you so much for everything, Janice - you made our wedding the best day ever! read more

Wedding planning is supposed to be exciting and "non stressful" when having the help and guidance of a wedding planner, however, working with Janice was the complete opposite. The first consultation that we met with her was great. She went through great detail and examples on how she would make our wedding everything that we wanted and more... but after we paid our deposit it was a horrible experience. 1) We booked Janice in September 2017. My wedding was June 2018. I wanted ample time to work with her before our wedding date. After the first consultation in September, we paid our deposit, and did not speak to her again until DECEMBER. There were many phone calls, emails and texts that she flat out did not respond to. 2) The second consultation was not scheduled until February. She had a busy schedule, so we worked around when she was available to meet. My husband even took off work to make the meeting. An hour before we were supposed to meet she TEXTED me claiming that she was "sick" and needed to reschedule. It would be more forgiving if she wasn't so unreliable before this. 3) After the 2nd consultation, again... we did not hear from her. It took one month to respond to a simple question via email. She would not respond to text messages and would not answer phone calls... She was supposed to be in contact with all of my vendors... she was not. I ended up doing ALL of the wedding planning myself. 4) By this time its April... My wedding is in June... and we have met TWICE and had minimal conversations. I called her mid April and she finally answered her phone. I asked her if she could set up the wedding rehearsal date. She said that we could not set up a date until a month out. I then called the Venue right after I got off the phone with her and set up a rehearsal date. SO ridiculous. She basically lied to my face. 5) Our next consultation was scheduled in May. Again... two hours before we were supposed to meet. She canceled. We had to reschedule for 3 days later. My wedding was less the 30 days away... 6) Its now the morning of my wedding. My wedding was on June 9, 2018. She was supposed to be at the hotel at 9 am... she texted me at 10 saying "sorry I am running late, I am trying to get Bruno Mars tickets." SERIOUSLY!!!!!! 7) And to top it all off, she was supposed to get us a cake knife for our cake cutting. During the reception when it was time to cut the cake... we are standing there in front of our guests waiting for our knife and she walks over and says..."the knife broke this morning... so just take a bite of a cupcake." WTF... I think she just forgot it when she was busy trying to get Bruno tickets. So my maid of honor ran over to the caterer and got a plastic knife for us to cut our cake. Sadly this was a horrible experience and I would never recommend her services. VERY DISAPPOINTING! read more

As much as I wanted Janice to be the greatest thing that happened with my wedding, she was a disappointment. She was affordable, we realized we knew mutual people, and she even had planned the wedding of a family member of mine. 1) She cancelled the first consultation that we set up together for what seemed to be a personal errand. She texted me an hour before the meeting which I had been waiting for, saying she was basically on the other side of the island at the DMV? Hmm odd, but okay. I gave her the benefit of the doubt and agreed to reschedule because again, I really wanted to work with her... 2) We set up our second appt, she gathers all of my information, fills out her consultation sheet, shows me all of her packages. I mean...she seriously goes through the whole consultation spiel with me. So I leave feeling excited cause I'm finally getting my wedding planning going. She tells me she'll send me an email in a few days. A few days past and... nothing. 3) SO I reach out to her for a follow up (shouldn't it be the other way around in a professional business?). She tells me she had to bring a family member to the ER, but he/she is fine. So I graciously say okay, take your time, please take care of your family first. Again, she says I'll email you very soon! Or something to that extent. I gave her a week. Which to me, is REACHING for a new customer to have to wait without updates- especially when you keep promising things. I got nothing. Absolutely nothing. No updates through text, email, phone call. I felt robbed of my time! I'm no business professional, but I sure know what good customer service is. Don't promise something when you can't/choose not to deliver. Sadly, this was prob the crappiest experience I had while consulting with different vendors. read more

4.2 Janice was great to work with. She gave us a lot of suggestions for vendors which we did use all of who she suggested and it did save us a lot of money as well. She did respond at a timely manner when I texted her. Sometimes when you email her you have to follow-up with a text to make sure she got it and that you'll get the response especially if you need one right away. Other than that, she did give great suggestions as far as design for the wedding and the program. She did my wedding and another wedding on the same day which I did wish she didnt so that she could give my event the attention that it needed. But other than that, I would definitely recommened her to others who are looking for the help. read more

Janice's work as a 'day of' coordinator was amazing. Initially, we were planning to not use a coordinator. Even with a lot of planning, checklists, etc. we realized that might not be a good idea. We are glad we found Janice and booked her services. After booking and meeting with Janice, we found that she would cover a number of things that we missed or didn't even think about. We met with Janice a few times throughout the planning process. She was very meticulous with the details, vendor contacts/contracts, etc. She communicated with the vendors to confirm details and final scheduling. We did have trouble finding a few vendors. Even though it was not part of our contract, Janice went out of her way to find service providers for us. She also met us in person on the day before the event to do a final schedule review and to walk through the venue. On the day of the event, Janice worked hard (and a very long day) to make sure everything went smoothly. We had all the confidence in the world in her. And we were able to completely relax and enjoy the day. The success of our biggest day was in no small part thanks directly to Janice. read more

I had a very clear vision for my dream wedding. Grand, elegant, romantic, and unforgettable. Janice of Wedding Planner 808 was THE coordinator to help bring all the puzzle pieces together perfectly! Every step of the way, from my general ideas down to the smallest of details, Janice made sure everything was executed perfectly! I wanted our family and friends to simply be present and enjoy the day. She made sure that everything was in order and in place, on time at every step of the way. My fiance proposed in February of 2020, and because of Covid we postponed our 2020 wedding to '21, then again to 2022. She stayed the course with us and it was all worth the wait. Beyond being extremely professional, she is a wonderful human, and having that kind of loving, positive energy around our wedding was awesome! Janice is well-connected to an amazing team of the best vendors in Hawaii. Utilize her knowledge and connections! Some details were in place 2 years in advance...and others, as any bride will tell you, just don't get executed until the last minute. The night before our wedding I had realized I didn't have name cards for my assigned seating. She gave me a phone number, a short conversation was had, and 16 hours later there were 220 gorgeous hand-written name cards in place at our reception! Janice has a solution for every situation. She is incredibly organized. We had a large wedding with dozens of vendors and she triple-checked every contract, stayed in communication with each vendor, and made sure everyone had to correct timeline for a smooth flow. I did not get any questions from a single vendor on the day of. Isn't that fantastic?! I got to fully enjoy marrying the love of my life. 100% recommend Janice!! read more

As soon as I got engaged, I contemplated whether a wedding coordiator was necessary. After attending many workshops and talking to friends who had just gotten married, I always was told that I should hire a wedding coordinator, even if it's just for the day of. My (now) husband & I emailed a few coordinators and met with one before meeting with Janice & that one coordinator gave me the impression that she was holding back because of the fact that we're young, which I strongly dislike. We met with Janice for our consultation and was blown away on how amazing and professional she was. We also quickly realized we had SO little knowledge of all the itty bitty details that goes into wedding planning. After going all the information (which felt like information overload) we were quoted for the package that would best fit or needs, which was cheaper than the other other coordinator that we met with. So it was a no brainer to hire her. Janice was always either a text or email away for ANYTHING, no matter how early or late in the day it was. We met a handful of times to see where we were with our planning. She works with an amazing group of vendors. Each time we were asked who our coordinator was, we were always reassured that we were in good hands, which we never got tired of hearing. Let's fast forward to our finalization meeting with our reception venue. My husband & I both agree that we are SO grateful that Janice was able to come to the meeting with us cause we would've been SO lost without her! She knew exactly what to say, when to say it, and was totally ON IT. Also with our table arrangements...she is by far THE most patient person I know cause I have no idea how she handles the kinds of stress weddings comes with. Now let's take it to our rehearsal date : We had a VERY large bridal party (10 bridesmaids and 10 groomsmen) and handled the rehearsal very professionaly, even when the boys wanted to fool around, she surely put them in their place. I'm glad she did that, cause it would've been even worse if i had to take matters into my own hands with them. We had a bump with our vendors the night before the wedding, Janice was able to handle it with no problems! Although she had another event before our wedding, she always texted both my husband & I to check up on how everything was going. As soon as we got to our ceremony venue, she was right there to get to work! Her and her staff set up our reception venue and handled everything perfectly throughout our program. Thank you Janice for all that you and your staff has done to make our wedding dreams come true, STRESS FREE! I highly recommend her to anyone, because she really knows what she's doing & you can really see that she absolutely loves what she does! read more

It has taken a lot our of me to even begin typing this review. Don't get me wrong, I had a lovely wedding with my close friends and family but still feel like I'm suffering from PTSD on the unprofessionalism of Wedding Planner 808. To be fair, I have to take some responsibility for 1. settling to be the 2nd event for Wedding Planner 808 on that day (not knowing that her employee was not capable of handling an event on her own), and 2. not insisting on meeting with the day-of event coordinator weeks or even months before my event. To give her some credit, Janice (owner) seemed very experienced, as she liked to remind me of her last minute successes which at times I thought were too much for my taste. She is very organized and kept me on my time line as much as possible. When I first met with her, she asked what my primary goal was in hiring a coordinator and my answer to her was that I did not want anyone in my party to worry about anything regarding the day of our wedding. This was far from what really happened. The coordinator that was in charge of my wedding was lukewarm from the day of the rehearsal (the first time I met with the day of coordinator). She seemed eternally lost and could not even direct us down the aisle. She was unfocused and could not handle the challenges and obstacles that wedding coordinators encounter. My family and friends were the ones that took on a lot of the stress that she should have absorbed. The communication was nonexistent and although her crew hauled ass, she was disconnected, like she was in a different universe. Her main concern was to let me know that the event rental company failed to deliver the cake table. This is after she was confronted my by MOH to keep this information from me as I should not be informed of these things right before I walked down the aisle. She was also too concerned about my comfort while we were taking our after ceremony pictures and graciously fanned me with her hand fan that never left the palm of her hand along with her water flask. While she unnecessarily fanned me, my out of town guests were moving chairs from the bottom ceremony venue up the hill/stairs to the upper lawn where my reception was to take place. She (coordinator) also had a detailed timeline complete with note/lists that Janice prepared yet failed to keep everyone dialed in. As the coordinator, the DJ would have played the right song for our first dance (as noted in the timeline), the bartender would have iced the beverages prior to my ceremony instead of sitting in her van blocking our vehicle's entrance to the venue, ensure the that the bartender would have left the champagne for the toast instead of serving them before hand and direct the caterers not a fill the water glasses with warm water before we even walked down the aisle. Mind you, most of the vendors were recommended by Wedding Planner 808.... hmmm??? This was the biggest regret of my event. I could go on and on but I'm just stressing out thinking about it. There are so many other things that the coordinator should have taken care of. I had a meeting with Janice after my event as I would be remised if I didn't let know my feelings about her service. She promised that she would have give me a response to my concerns within 2 weeks. My event was in July and after failed attempts to meet my request to meet with her, I finally was able to secure a meeting. However, this was a waste of time as she has still not responded even after several follow-up emails. I strongly do not recommend Wedding Planner 808. Although, I feel that my event would have gone a lot smoother if Janice herself was there on that day, I would never know. Instead, I feel that she took my money knowing that she over extended herself/staff. I was pawned off on her super inexperienced employee. read more

We couldn't be happier with Janice and her crew. They did an excellent job at keeping everything in place, on time, and in order during the wedding. We had a vision, and she truly brought it to life and far exceeded our expectations. All the decorations and flowers were placed perfectly and the whole place looked like it was from a fairy tale. They were always on top of everything, highly professional, and catering to our needs. Because of them, we did not worry much about anything during the wedding, and we were able to slow down and appreciate everything. Janice also did a fantastic job coordinating our rehearsal and making sure that we all knew our part on the wedding day. She communicated well with all our family and vendors and made sure that they were up to date and on the same page. She was always ready to help whenever we needed assistance with anything. Her experience and decisiveness helped us stay sane. Simply put, Janice and her crew were the best. Our wedding day would not have been the same without them. Mahalo Janice and team! read more

Janice eas awesome during the wedding planning. She may on be my day of coordinator, but she was there from the time we hired her. Being a destination wedding, it was difficult to find the things I needed, but Janice was there to guide me. I could've of dine this whole thing by myself. The day of the wedding, Annie, her assitant was the best while the ceremony was about to take place. The whole whole Wedding Planner 808 has made my day so stress free. I admit, i was still texting them while I was getting ready. If anyone does a destination wedding or even local to Hawaii, hire Wedding Planner 808. read more

We initially chose Wedding Planner 808 as our wedding coordinator since were living outside the US. We needed to rely heavily on a coordinator to help plan and execute on our behalf hence we purchased the platinum package. As we started to work together, we soon realized we were ultimately on different wavelengths and decided to part ways, forfeiting our $720 deposit. My fiancee and I concluded that Janice may be a good fit for a couple who's priority is a budget wedding. Unfortunately, she was unable to balance between elegance and cost. Additional concerns we had with the service were: 1) No thematic input or design provided as per the platinum package. Helpful leading questions were asked, but no suggestions given. We wished she had provided more suggestions and follow through than she did. 2) Disorganized emails, with extremely slow email responses. While she did respond to our e-mails, the response times sometimes took up to 10 days. (Emails were not replied on the same thread, subject titles had nothing to do with what was being asked, and responses were a little too verbiose without providing enough substance) 3) Lack of attention to detail: The same questions would be asked repeatedly, indicating my responses were not being captured. Janice forgot on multiple occasions the mothers on both the bride and groom side has passed away. Already a painful subject, Janice did not include an order for a memorial table to the rental company despite discussions of how the table should look. This was especially hurtful to both of us. 4) No hustle: In 3 months of working together, only 1 draft of the budget was ever sent. Despite repeated requests for updates, information from vendors were not updated in and it would take weeks to get responses back for clarifying questions. I ended up having to reach out to all the vendors myself for specifics. In the end, we politely requested a partial return of our deposit due to our dissatisfaction with the services. We had provided constructive feedback early on as well as multiple opportunities to improve. Instead of coming to a mutual agreement, she stopped responding to our emails while continuing to send me invoices for additional payments after we decided to part ways. Janice is a nice lady and we do hope she can take the above as constructive criticism and improve from this unfortunate circumstance. read more

Wedding Planner 808 - Wedding Planning Near Me

I cant say enough good things about Janice and her crew. She made our day go by so smoothly. Even though we only hired her for the reception she made us a timetable for the WHOLE day. She made the reception perfect , exactly what we had in mind. She was so organized. We had so much fun at the wedding because we didn't have anything to worry about. She had fabulous ideas about every detail from how to greet the guests to where our songs should be where all our entertainment should be it was just perfect. And she is sooo quick and responsive. Not even a day she would get back to me, here's my question, boom here's the answer. Great with our kids too. Tat was super important. Very patient. Oh and sooo affordable. Fingers crossed we work out, but if not lol... Janice is my go to girl. I would hands down hire her again. read more

Janice is great at what she does! We did a destination wedding and were a bit worried with regards to organizing and choosing our vendors but Janice made the process as painless as possible. Going into the final stretch before the wedding (last month or so), Janice really starts to bring everything together and will bring your attention to details you never considered. read more

Janice was such an amazing wedding planner to work with! Wedding planning is already stressful as it is, but having to plan through the COVID-19 pandemic was even crazier! Janice was there through it all! From the postponement, virtual meetings, late night email and texts, last minute reviews. etc. She guided us in every step and gave us really great advice. She is so organized, experienced, and knowledgeable in the wedding industry. She handled everything professionally and worked well with all our other vendors. Our wedding day was perfect! Better than we could have imagined, to every little detail! We are so grateful and thankful to have had her and her team to celebrate our special day! She was also the wedding planner for my brother's wedding a few years before, and we enjoyed every moment of their wedding, so I had to ask who their wedding planner was. So of course, we had to go with Wedding Planner 808 because we knew she would do an amazing job. And of course, she did! read more

Janice was referred to me by my friend/ Emcee for my wedding. I needed help because I had no idea what planning a wedding entailed. I was impressed right off the bat because her questions regarding the littlest details about what I wanted for the big day were never things that I thought about before. Her vision to helping brides with stress free planning, organization and time management is something I was looking forward to but unfortunately did not have the best experience. I felt that her knowledge of the wedding industry is something that she harps on and focuses too much on, instead of catering to what I wanted for my wedding. It felt as if it was just another wedding for her to plan and get through. For everything that she said couldn't be done, she didn't suggest an alternative route which left me stressed to figure things out on my own. There were things that we discussed that she forgot about that I caught right before I walked down the aisle and had to tell her to fix and during the reception as well. I also rented decoration items for my reception venue which I should have looked at before letting Janice request them because I wanted bistro lights but instead I get to the venue and they are Christmas lights, which by then was too late to switch out. As a bride I feel like these are not things you should be worried about on your wedding day. I don't discredit her though because she does work hard and it was an amazing wedding nonetheless. read more

Janice was amazing from the beginning of planning my wedding until the day of. My wedding was a destination wedding and I had so many concerns but Janice reassured me that everything was going to turn out perfect and it did. She was there from the very beginning where we planned everything and had three meetings until the day of wedding day coordination. She had thought of things that I did not even think about. Not only was my wedding day perfect I had guests at my wedding saying how crazy it was that everything went so perfect and that usually there are a few things that go wrong. But we had NOTHING go wrong and at the end of the night Janice and her team had packed up my stuff such as decor in the boxes I had shipped them out in and taped and labeled each box. I was beyond impressed and so thankful for her! I am so thankful to Janice and her team for my PERFECT wedding. read more

Janice was absolutely amazing! We had gotten engaged at the end of 2019, then the pandemic hit. We were tired of waiting and had no clue what we were doing and relied on advice from friends and family. Just over a month from my wedding, we started finalizing everything and thought we were doing well. We knew we needed a Day of Coordinator since we didn't want to put all the stress on family or friends, and luckily my cousins referred me to Janice. We started chatting 5-weeks from the big day and WOW there were so many details I never would have thought of if not for Janice. She is so organized, detailed, and is a great resource for recommendations and suggestions. Most of the wedding was DIY so I would show Janice general things I wanted and how they should be. She did an amazing job setting everything up on the day, my ceremony and reception were perfect. I am so happy I trusted her with the decorations and placements, she truly made our day stress free! Janice is very personable and professional, she is the best coordinator we could have asked for and we highly recommend her! read more

Janice is an amazing wedding coordinator! My husband & I live in San Diego, CA and when we decided to get married on Oahu it sounded like a perfect idea until I had to start planning our wedding. I honestly had no clue where to start. When we asked Janice to be our day of coordinator she provided me with multiple lists we needed to get done & even provided us with vendor suggestions which helped a lot. Janice was there for me when ever I had any questions throughout the planning. She helped eased my stress as our wedding date came nearer and ensured everything went smoothly on the day of the wedding. I honestly couldn't have asked for a better coordinator. Thank you so much Janice for making sure everything was taken care of so we didn't have to worry about anything!! read more

There was no doubt in our minds that hiring Janice as our Day of coordinator was the best decision we made during the process of planning our wedding. A huge weight was lifted off of my shoulders (bride) the first time we sat with Janice and went over what we wanted with a day of coordinator. She was so detailed and kept us on track with everything we needed to get done, down to packing our clothes for the hotel. Janice's day of the wedding timeline kept everything running smooth and stress free for everyone, even one of our bridesmaid said that the wedding day was so stress free compared to other weddings she had previously been a part of. She always answered our text and phone calls and also always checked and confirmed with us about any changes. With all the wedding day jitters and mixed emotions you'll need someone like Janice to make you feel at ease that everything is taken care of. Her value far exceeds the amount you spend for her services. read more

It's been great working with Janice as our Same Day Coordinator. We're from California and she took the time to meet with us for our first consultation when she visited the Bay area. She's very organize and knowledgeable of the wedding industry. Definitely no time was wasted as she kept me on track with my wedding planning. Everything went smooth on our wedding day. There are few hiccups but we know nothing is perfect. The important thing is that we are happy and everyone is happy. We couldn't have done it without her help. It was pleasant working with you Janice. Thank you for providing great service. read more

We brought these folks in later in the process than we should have, but everything they touched was executed flawlessly. Believe me: YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU DO NOT KNOW! Janice made sure the expectations of our guests and vendors were exceeded. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! read more

My husband and I got married at Loulu Palm Estate on May 17, 2019. We hired Janice as soon as we booked the venue, about 1 year prior. Personally, I am a huge planner but I know I needed someone in Hawaii who knew the ins and outs of a Hawaiian wedding. Janice provided that and went above and beyond the week before our wedding to make sure everything went smoothly on the day of. read more

Janice was very attentive to detail when putting our timeline together. We discussed how we wanted our wedding to be and she was with us almost every step of the way. However, the day of our wedding, she said she was going to go to another smaller wedding and have her team takeover since our wedding had more guests. We didn't meet her team till the day of the wedding and it was pretty chaotic. We were hoping Janice would be there since she knew every aspect of our wedding. Things didn't go as planned. I feel that if you work with a client and know how they wanted things executed for their wedding that you shouldn't pass the buck down since it seems things could have gone way smoother if we had her present instead. read more

Janice and her team were phenomenal. Annie was my BFF for the day and she literally saved the day! Jamie and Chevy were in charge of my reception and they made it look like a fairytale wedding. My wedding is officially the best day of my life because of Janice and her All-Star team. Thank you again Wedding Planner 808. XOXOXO read more

Janice and her team was beyond amazing!!! If it wasnt for them i dont know how my wedding would have turned out. she listened to everything me and my husbands visioned for our wedding and it turned out so beautiful!!! thak you so much! read more

When I started planning my wedding over a year ago, Wedding Planner 808 was the very first vendor I hired. I knew from the start that I wanted and needed a wedding planner, especially since I don't live in Hawaii. I needed someone who could help me plan a destination wedding. I spoke to three wedding planners and researched their work online and read their reviews. After speaking with them, I knew without a doubt that Janice Bachiller was the planner I wanted. At our first call, I knew that hiring Janice would be one of the best decisions I've ever made. I can't tell you how wonderful it was to know her from the start, that Janice had my best interests in mind. She is also very kind, pleasant, and so easy to work with. Janice has a group of preferred vendors she works closely with in all her weddings...hire them! She has her own exclusive rates with them, it will save you money! She gave top-quality, professional service from start to finish. She was responsive to all my countless emails or texts, her price was very reasonable, and she was always flexible and willing to help with anything. As the wedding came closer, she provides you and each of your vendors a precise timeline from getting ready to pre-ceremony to the end of the reception. Talk about being on top of your game! To top it off, she even provided me a complimentary rehearsal time, venue site visit, and a personal coordinator assistant by my side on wedding day :) Like all weddings, my wedding had a variety of challenges, including a wedding date change because our venue wasn't available, to a limo dropoff situation to the ceremony, to figuring out if my ceremony will continue to be held outdoors due to a prior storm because it was muddy. Janice isn't perfect but she had my best interests and handled everything with a calm smile, and I knew I had nothing at all to worry about. My husband and I had the time of our lives, in large part, due to the amazing talents of Janice and her team. She indeed delivered a stress free and fun wedding. You will not be disappointed! You will get so much more than what you pay for! Much Mahalo Janice! read more
