Flawless experience

Janet is the secret sauce to a successful wedding! She was with us every step of the way as my daughter and I worked to plan a Labor Day wedding. Janet is a very clear and responsive communicator. She offered an excellent vendor list and a thorough timeline. We had regularly scheduled phone calls and a couple of on-site meetings at the venue over the course of the year of planning. Janet is so good at ring-leading the day-of, that it was easy to trust her and her team completely with the set up of all the vendors at the venue. Just before the start of the ceremony, we walked out to the most magical, fairytale-like setting with everyone and every single detail in place. I don't know how she does it, but she does! Want a stress-free wedding - HIRE SANDCASTLE CELEBRATIONS! Thank you, Janet!

Truly the best!

I truly cannot speak highly enough about Janet Tacy and Sandcastle Celebrations. She was awesome to work with throughout the planning process, but most importantly, with her help and oversight, our wedding day could not have run more smoothly. Janet handled vendor communication and coordinated when each vendor would arrive to ensure timely set up and preparation. If there were any bumps in the road or issues, I was not made aware and was not stressed whatsoever about the logistics of the day which was such a blessing. At the same time, she made sure to check details with me (style of napkin fold or floral repurposing) and make sure everything looked as I hoped. Janet and her team even made sure my table number markers (that I printed on flimsy paper the day before the wedding) were able to stand up at each table despite the wind (still don't even know how they accomplished this!). She did all of this so that I could be completely present with my family and friends, preparing for one of the biggest days of my life. I could go on, but in short, I would recommend Janet and Sandcastle Celebrations 100x over.
