Some days as a wedding planner are truly magical. Receiving 5-star reviews like this are profoundly moving and fill my heart with gratitude. 🙏🏻

My husband and I had the immense pleasure of working with Janice to plan our small destination wedding in St. Helena and we cannot recommend her enough. If you are getting married in Napa Valley, please look no further than Janice and Rue 29 Napa Valley. From the very first phone call with Janice, I knew we would be in great hands due to her exceptional professionalism, dedication to detail, and genuine kindness. It was also very important to us to work with someone who was local to Napa Valley, as it would be a first-time visit for nearly all of our guests and we wanted to provide recommendations from someone who really knew the area. Janice, a Napa local, provided recommendations for guest accommodations, restaurants, local vendors, and even graciously utilized several of her personal contacts in the area to provide the best experiences for us and our guests over our wedding weekend. Janice was also quick to answer all of our [abundant] logistical questions, and advised us on details ranging from timing of reception toasts, to processional order, to where/when to bustle my dress (a process!), and so much more. Janice made us feel so at peace knowing that every detail was considered and planned for, and we were able to enjoy every aspect of our wedding day because of Janice’s coordination and expert ability to keep everything together. Janice is not only an amazing wedding coordinator but also a wonderful person, and I cherished getting to know throughout the planning process. I look forward to staying connected with Janice for years to come and could not have asked for a better partner in the planning process.

Henna art is associated with positivity and good luck. The Mehndi ceremony is held the night before the wedding and is a lovely celebration for the bride, wishing her good health and prosperity as she embarks on this new chapter in her life. The medicinal, herbal properties of henna are believed to cool the body and relieve the bride of any stress before her wedding day.
