Elizabeth at Evenement was fabulous!! She was very thorough, thought of everything, and was a huge help day of. We hired a planner for day of only, as we had our wedding at South Shore Pavilion and it didn’t come with specific help or services. Elizabeth knew the venue, coordinated with vendors, helped with set up and take down, and spoke with us many times before the wedding as well - helping us stay on track. We loved her help and her expertise!!
Janelle was hands down the best decision we made in our wedding planning process. She made for such a fun, easy and painless planning process. She connected us with all the right people to make our day exactly what we envisioned. I can’t stress enough how wonderful she is, and knowing and completely trusting that everything would run smoothly on our most favorite day. She connected us with vendors that she routinely works with and communicates with so she knows how they work and she connected us with the right vendors to fit our venue. For example we had our ceremony and reception at the Milwaukee Art Museum and she gave us such great feedback at which DJ would sound the best in the space, how many string musicians sounds the best during the ceremony, the appropriate signage, and decor etc. We still continue to get compliments on our wedding 6 months later. We are forever grateful for Janelle. Our wedding was beyond beautiful .
Janelle at Evenement did a flawless job planning our wedding and I am so thankful we were able to work with her! We were introduced to Janelle through our friend group, she has planned several of their weddings, and each one was unique and perfect in their own special way. She worked with us throughout the process recommending vendor selections and making sure we finalized those in time, setting our timeline for the wedding day, and incorporating our vision/theme into the wedding decor. But one of the most valuable benefits I found was having Janelle there by my side throughout the wedding, helping me navigate throughout the day on 'what comes next', and keeping the rest of the party on track too! It takes a layer of stress off of everyone and allows you to focus on what the day is really about. I could not have imagined planning this wedding without her, everything turned out exactly how we had imagined, and I highly recommend Janelle/Evenement to anyone planning a wedding, at any size/venue!
I am forever thankful for Janelle and the rest of the Evenement team! My fiancé and I planned 90% of our wedding while living out of state and it wouldn’t have been possible without Janelle. She was always available for any question, big or small, day or night. At times I can be indecisive, and Janelle helped me bring all of my ideas together to make create a cohesive vision. Whenever anyone asks for wedding planner recommendations, I am quick to provide them with Janelle’s name.
Our experience with Janelle was absolutely outstanding! Her ability to contact vendors to get better pricing, coordinating vendors, and in general keeping everyone organized and on track was amazing. She ran the rehearsal in a restaurant because we couldn't use the venue and that went without a hitch. The wedding day went incredibly smoothly, and I was able to enjoy every minute of my daughters wedding day knowing Janelle had everything in control! Thank you Janelle, we will be contacting you for help with our other daughters wedding!!!
I can't say enough good things about Janelle and Evenement!! Absolutely amazing to work with! I was an out of town bride, and was dealing with a new venue that was in the process of being built. Janelle was incredible through everything, and was so on top of things! She was proactive with all of my vendors, and gave me constant updates about progress. She helped refine the vision for our day and knocked it completely out of the park - it was beyond anything that we could have imagined! I didn't have to worry about a thing, Janelle was on top of everything, and ultimately made the process stress-free and enjoyable! If you're considering a planner, or just want to learn a little bit more about it, reach out to Evenement, working with Janelle was one of the best decisions we made through our planning process!
Our wedding day went off without a hitch using Evenement. Erin and Janelle were exceptional! Erin was always on top of it and organized all my meetings with vendors, while also attending a lot of them. She also created a schedule so we knew exactly what was happening when and where. If we had questions or concerns throughout the planning, she would always set up calls with us and talk it through. Being an out of town bride has challenges, but with Erin and Janelle, we never felt stressed or overwhelmed. I would highly highly recommend them!
All I can say is Janelle is absolutely awesome! We rented the bride and groom throne chairs from her :) They were gorgeous!
Janelle was key to my successful wedding day! She will do just about anything you ask! From as little involvement or as much involvement as you need. I loved talking to Janelle about the wedding more than any bridesmaid or relative, her guidance was thoughtful and tailored to the wedding my husband and I wanted. She put all my day of stresses to rest - knowing she could handle ANYTHING that came up. She was an expert, and a friend throughout the entire process. Janelle was the best investment we made for our wedding. I only wished I would have utilized her help for more.
Janelle’s work is amazing!
She really took the time to listen and understand what my needs and vision were for my big day. Janelle made the entire planning process a breeze! She offered helpful suggestions and helped to guide me through the entire planning process. She is fun, creative and passionate about her work. Janelle is a wedding planner extraordinaire! Hiring Janelle the best decision I could have ever made with my wedding (besides marrying the man of my dreams).
We used Janelle starting about a year before our wedding and it was one the best decisions we made for our BIG day!! She had impeccable vision and knew exactly what we wanted and how to get it. She gave us many names for florists and cake bakers and ultimately helped us decide and we couldn't be happier! I ALWAYS recommend Janelle to any new bride or groom because she goes above and beyond anything you would ever need. She was a brilliant addition to our wedding and I'm so grateful for everything she did. She and her staff are truly amazing!!
My wife and I were extremely pleased with the experience we had working with Janelle at Evenement Planning. Her knowledge, experience, and connections within the world of wedding planning allowed us to work with some wonderful vendors, with whom Janelle communicated very efficiently and effectively in order to create a truly perfect wedding for us! My wife and I had a fairly good vision of what we wanted our wedding day to be like, and Janelle most definitely brought it to life, and then some! She had great suggestions for us when we needed them, but also listened to what we wanted and did whatever she could to make those things happen too, no matter how difficult the request. The behind-the-scenes work that Janelle did for us on our wedding day really allowed my wife and I to relax and truly enjoy the experience without having to sweat the details. From day one, Janelle went to work for us and made us feel like we were her number one priority. My wife and I would without a doubt recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding planner!
There are so many amazing things that I could say about Janelle and Evenement Planning. I truly really don't know where to begin. I originally started the wedding planning process without a full time wedding planner. However, I soon realized that between finishing up school, working full time, and wedding planning, that I was beyond stressed and needed help. Janelle came to my rescue. She took the horse by the reigns, and helped deliver the most amazing and beautiful wedding. Everything exceeded my expectations, which were high. When I met Janelle, I was greeted with a smile, and a huge hug. She is kind hearted, selfless, charismatic, detailed oriented and much more! She listened to all my ideas, and ultimately made them better! My wedding was truly everything I asked for, and then some. She was very organized, creating timelines, and helping us stay on track with our budgets. All vendors that she recommended, I went with. Let me tell you, they also exceeded all my expectations (Robyn Vining photographer, Esther for flowers, and Ramsey with Milwaukee Airwaves). Words truly cannot describe how thankful my husband and I are for everything that Janelle did. Our wedding is something that I will never forget. It was truly a magical day. This would not have been possible without Janelle and Evenement planning. If you are looking for a wedding planner, I highly highly recommend Janelle and Evenement planning!! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for everything you did Janelle. You are a god send :) P.S. Our guests continue to talk about how amazing the venue (Ramhorn Farm), and decor was at our wedding.
After using the Evenement team for my daughter's wedding, I decided to use them to help my son plan a very special marriage proposal! As with everything the Evenement team does, it was perfect! So excited that my new daughter-in-law to be will be using Janelle and the Evenement team for her wedding as well! I am 100% confident that the the entire day will be as amazing as the future bride and groom!

Had a beautiful wedding, but an overall disappointing experience with Evenement.
We used Janelle for our oldest daughters wedding. and were so pleased we decided to use her for our youngest daughters wedding! Janelle totally understands how to make your day special. She is so creative and totally has a handle on the vendor market. She'll find the best vendor for your needs. The day of the wedding she is so efficient and pulls everything together. She truly makes it a stress free day. We were confident she would go above and beyond! Thank you Janelle and staff!!!
Janelle and the entire Evenement team are simply amazing. When shopping for an event planner, our top priority was to find an experienced, professional individual that would be easy to work with and make our vision come to life. Regardless who we spoke to from vendors to brides, one name kept coming up; Janelle Meyer-Brown. Every recommendation included the same statement, "she's amazing, you will love her." I can't think of a better way to describe Janelle! From start to finish Janelle is, professional, creative and most of all fun to work with. He relaxed easy going personality brings a calmness to any situation, and her creativity, wealth of experience, and eye for detail gives the client the utmost confidence in her abilities. Janelle moves mountains, keeps things on task, and isn't afraid to tell you if she thinks you are moving in the wrong direction! At the end of the day, she is 100% there for her clients. She has earned the respect of every major event venue in the city as well as that of her colleagues. I can't say enough about this incredible woman. She is more than an event planner, she is every bride's best friend. I don't know what we would have done without her! To all the brides out there looking for an event planner, I, too, can now say, "she's amazing, you will love her!"

There are many things you can say about Janelle - she is charismatic, dedicated, extremely reliable and helpful, and most of all, on point when it comes to making a brides vision come to fruition. But when you actually see the woman in action and the day of the event rolls around... you are left speechless! All the emails, details, discussions, and planning... and all the trust and faith you left in Janelle... has paid off. I got married this past April 2015, and I had such a great experience with Evenement. I come from an event planning background and was unsure if I needed a planner. I decided I did want an extra set of eyes, as Milwaukee would be a destination wedding and I didn't want any hiccups to add to further stress. My first phone call solidified my desire to work with Janelle, as she was honest, straight forward, funny, and seemed to have a clear understanding of what I envisioned for the big day. From that point moving on, it was smooth sailing. She helped coordinate all of my vendors, shed light on new vendors that were truly exceptional to work alongside, helped me get mirrored table tops that I had my heart set on, and was cheerful, optimistic, and truly a gem throughout the entire process. The day of ran smoothly as well - she provided a thorough timeline, distributed them to all of my vendors and I could not be more grateful. All of my guests claimed it was the best wedding they have ever been to... which of course made me feel so great! I would use Janelle for any event I have in the future. She has an A++ in my book - she not only won me over, but also won the hearts of my family and friends. Evenement Planning does things the right way, and most of all YOUR way - in the sense that they run with YOUR vision, and do not try to sway or dissuade you, as so many others in the creative realm can. Thank you to Janelle from the bottom of our hearts for the exquisite day... we love reliving it with our pictures and video. xx The Meier's
We never imagined having a planner when we first started our wedding journey, but now I can't (or more like don't want to) imagine what it would have been like without Janelle. She has a great balance of executing to a plan and dealing with the unexpected that only comes with experience and passion. From the first time we met, her friendly personality, honest communication, and desire to get to know our style as a couple sold us. Over the next few months, Janelle proved vital in many roles, including what I like to call "sanity keeper". She made the wedding day so relaxing and seamless, and all our guests raved about the venue decor. We could not be happier to have had Janelle as part of our wedding and could not recommend her highly enough to anyone planning an upcoming event.
She is fantastic at what she does and truly went above and beyond for us. We will both miss our visits with her.
