Ciao, Amore!

Each wedding is unique to each couple and designed with gracious hospitality in mind to ensure a stunning guest experience. Here, couples share a little bit about their experience working with Jane Handles Weddings.

Words cannot describe how exceptional Jane and her team are—the unparalleled (literally 24/7) amount of attention, care, professionalism, love and support would easily have been enough to give rave reviews. But on top of all of that, the result she crafted was a stunning, world class, luxury wedding in Lake Garda, Italy, one that belongs only in Vogue and its kin—but, somehow, was a celebration for regular shmucks like us.

 

Other than marrying the love of my life, working with Jane was easily the best part of the wedding. And all of our 66 guests (whom she made sure she knew personally by name, face, dietary restriction AND room number, all in order to maximize their experience) agree, as do our parents, who each individually were compelled to thank her in their speeches—and so deservedly so, to rapturous applause. And yet, despite her supreme abilities, she was always around, yet never front and center, simply anticipating every need and appearing, as if by 6th sense, at exactly the right time, for all 18 months of planning.

 

Every one of our guests has told us it was the wedding and trip of a lifetime. She tailored every single minute detail to our unique and eclectic tastes, presented every option in (intimidatingly) organized, accessible spreadsheets and superbly designed pdfs—and she has the patience of the Dali Lama, to boot. Jane was our rock, and she knocked it out the park to such a degree that I’m still reeling with joy. Every vendor she found was fantastic, every visual she brought to life outstanding. She may actually have magical powers. This woman is going places, so get on board while you can. We were so lucky to work with her. If you don’t hire Jane, you are doing yourself a great disservice.

Having Jane as our wedding planner was one of the best decisions that we ever made!

 

From the start, Jane was incredibly accommodating and patient as we navigated finding the right venue for us to have our wedding. She discussed with us in-depth our wishes and concerns so that she could best help us achieve the outcome that we wanted.

 

As the wedding came closer, she proved to be incredibly reliable, kind, and supportive. She made us feel like we were always a priority, even though she was planning several other weddings at the same time! She thought of everything, from event flow to smaller details like shining the rings.

 

Not only did my husband and I love Jane, but it was clear that all the vendors also enjoyed working with Jane, a testament to her gracious attitude and approachability.

 

The best part about Jane, however, is that she is truly passionate about planning weddings! She LOVES what she does! I am so grateful to her for all that she did for us! We highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a wedding planner!!

Working with Jane as our wedding planner for our intimate Tuscan celebration was an absolute delight from start to finish. Jane's remarkable attention to detail ensured that every aspect of our day was flawlessly executed, from the elegant floral arrangements to the exquisite table settings. Her dedication to bringing our vision to life was evident in every decision she made, as she worked tirelessly to ensure that every detail reflected our unique style and personality.

 

Even when unexpected challenges arose (hello, torrential rain on our planned outdoor ceremony and dinner!), Jane's ability to pivot with grace and ingenuity kept our spirits high and our wedding day seamless. Whether it was adjusting to the sudden weather changes or resolving last-minute logistical hiccups, Jane's calm demeanor and quick thinking ensured that everything continued smoothly, allowing us to focus on enjoying every moment of our celebration without stress or worry. Her adaptability and problem-solving skills were truly invaluable.

​

​Beyond all of that, Jane is someone who will move heaven and earth to make a vision come to life. It’s all the little details that she adds, all of the extras that you never thought possible, that she is somehow able to make happen. 

​

Jane's professionalism, creativity, and unwavering support made our wedding day and the planning process an unforgettable and magical experience. We couldn't recommend her expertise and passion highly enough!

Jane brought to life the most beautiful wedding for us in southern France. From the very first stages of planning to our farewell brunch months later, Jane made sure every step was not just easy for us, but most importantly fun and full of genuine love and care. She found us a gorgeous venue that was exactly what we had dreamed of and worked with amazing vendors to create the perfect vision for us.

Jane approached the entire process with impressive professionalism and efficiency. She was on top of every deadline and solved problems the second they arose, all the while infusing so much joy into the experience that it was obvious she wouldn’t let us settle for anything short of perfect. Jane thought of every detail, supported us in every decision, and displayed incredible effort and unwavering creativity at every turn.

Jane so clearly adores what she does, and her passion is infectious. You can’t help but fall in love with her and the beautiful adventure she takes you on. We are SO lucky to have shared this wonderful experience with her and can’t recommend Jane Handles Weddings enough!

Jane is a dream! She is full of ideas, is a problem solver and is a true joy to be around.

​

She took our vision of a modern wedding and made it come to life in an old-school bookstore. She negotiated on our behalf, advised us on the big (and little) decisions and always made us feel supported and heard. She is incredibly responsive and professional and plans for every little detail.

​

My wife and I would recommend her a thousand times over and even our guests commented how wonderful the event planning and details were.​ 

 

Jane is phenomenal!!!

It has now been 2 weeks since our wedding day and we are still floating. Our wedding day was truly a dream all thanks to our dedicated, creative, and wonderful planner, Jane.

 

We started our journey with Jane about a year prior to a wedding and she helped us every step of the way – the many decisions, the negotiations...all of it. Hiring Jane was without a doubt the best decision my partner and I made during this process – she allowed us to enjoy every minute of our entire wedding weekend.

 

She thinks of everything, is always a step (or three) ahead of everyone else and takes care of everything. She thrives with organizing and making sense of all the logistics throughout the whole process.

​

Beyond the expertise that Jane brings with her logistic management, she was incredibly creative throughout the whole process. Not just creative when it comes to making sure the event design fit us perfectly and matched our vision to a T, but also creative when it came to the problem solving that inevitably comes during this process.

 

Finally, it is always wonderful to work with people who truly love what they do - there is such a joy to Jane and when she is working with you on your wedding.

 

You cannot help but be excited at every step of the process thanks to Jane's energy and passion.

Jane is an absolute treasure! She took the time to understand our vision, and made sure it was executed perfectly.
 

She is extremely knowledgeable, which was very helpful for us as complete wedding novices.

 

Jane guided us from start to finish, and kept us grounded the whole time. I cannot recommend her services enough!

Thanks so much, Jane! We are still on cloud nine.

​

You were such a great help in the lead-up planning and day-of management – we have absolutely no idea what we would have done without you, and were so lucky to have you by our side.

 

Thank you again for all of your help.
