    HUGE FAN!!!

    Hi! HUGE FAN HERE, I genuinely do not know how our wedding would have gone without JLM. The entire planning process was completely seamless & catered to our personality so well. For a day as big as the wedding day I could not recommend JLM more, it was the most perfect day with the best vendor team. The vendor recs we're huge for us & absolutely helped with the major decisions that feel like the end of the world. JLM has some amazingly talented employees & seeing them do their magic on the big day was the coolest part. Even when you forget the rings-- the ceremony still starts on time ;). Rain? No problem they've already figured it out for you. All said and done I trust this team with MY LIFE & you should too!

    Best planning team ever!

    Booking Joanna was hands-down one of the best decisions we made. She’s not just a wedding planner - she’s a negotiator, cheerleader, visionary, and truly, a friend. From our very first consultation, we could tell she genuinely cared about our vision. She was incredibly knowledgeable about our venue, super responsive (we were texting back and forth up till the wedding and she was never out of reach), and consistently provided the reassurance you need throughout the planning process. Whatever we wanted, Joanna made it happen! I mentioned I wanted a harpist for our ceremony, and she immediately said “got it,” and we booked the most incredible harpist. She also recommended key vendors like transportation and catering, all of whom had worked with her before. The entire team operated like a well-oiled machine, which made everything feel seamless and stress-free. On the wedding day, Joanna and her team executed everything flawlessly. One moment I’ll never forget: right before the ceremony, when I started to feel nervous, her assistant walked me to the aisle, talking me through it and making me feel completely at ease. It meant everything. Our wedding was absolutely perfect! The best day of our lives, and we have Joanna to thank for that. If you’re considering booking her, don’t hesitate!! She will make your dream wedding a reality!!!

    JLM Events Wedding Vendor

    Hiring Johanna (JLM Design and Events) was single handedly the best decision we made in our wedding planning process. Johanna is extremely experienced and navigates the wedding industry with confidence and kindness. She had the quickest response time of any individual or business I've worked with, even when she was actively supporting additional weddings. She made sure I knew no question was a silly question, which immediately eased my mind. I did not worry about a single thing on the day of our wedding, because every single aspect was taken care of. If you're thinking of hiring JLM Design and Events for your wedding, DO IT. You will absolutely not regret it.

    Johanna is the best!

    Johanna and her team helped create the best wedding day for me and my wife. From having our first meeting in early summer up to the wedding day, Johanna's communication and organization were phenomenal. Whether it was answering our countless questions, providing recommendations for vendors, or helping our grand ideas come to fruition, she was always there for us every step of the way. Not only did the team set up the venue perfectly, they provided so much support behind the scenes (including figuring out how to bustle my wife's dress for the reception). We could not be more grateful as both of our families were able to truly be present throughout the entire day without having to worry about a single detail. We are so thankful we decided to have Johanna coordinate our wedding. She and the JLM Design and Events team provided us with a wedding day we and our guests will remember forever.

    Couldn’t have asked for a better day of team!

    Words cannot describe how incredible our day was and how much joy we felt having the JLM team there. Johanna’s wedding industry knowledge is incredible and beyond what we expected. We had a private property wedding with lots of tent permit/alcohol license questions that needed answers. Johanna not only helped answer all of our questions, but gave us the confidence to sit back and enjoy our day! She was punctual and always a ray of sunshine! We also had a specific vision for the table settings and ceremony. JLM executed the decor flawlessly. We also hired Danielly to capture short “content creation” videos. This was THE BEST decision we could have made. It was such a treat to see our wedding in little snippets that we can have for the rest of our lives!
