MEET YOUR LEAD PLANNER

HEY THERE, I'M JANELLE

Hi! I'm Janelle and I love making dreams come true. Blissfully Elegant Events was born out of a devotion to help people visualize their perfect day and breathe easy while we deliver it effortlessly. Ever since I was a little girl, I enjoyed all of the intricate details of planning events. What started out from birthday parties, grew into milestones that people will remember for the rest of their lives. My 16 year career in the Hotel Events industry taught me how to think on my feet and anticipate the needs of my clients. This was enhanced by four years as a Lead Planner for a Wedding Planning Company where I had the opportunity to listen to what perfect day my couples pictured and turned it into reality. I have been fortunate to have worked with many venues all over Northern California and meet wonderful vendors who's goals align with mine to create a captivating day that their clients with cherish forever. Weddings are my passion and making sure your day is exceptional and all you have imagined is why I chose this life path. I am that person that couples look to for guidance on how to develop a exquisite day that they have dreamt of in celebration of their love. Let's chat to see if I can help you make your special day everything you have envisioned!

MEET THE TEAM

ASHLEE
Lead Planner

Hi there! I’m Ashlee, a Lead Planner at Blissfully Elegant Events and a 2024 bride myself! I’ve always loved planning events for friends and family, so joining Janelle and her amazing team has been an absolute blast! I thrive on bringing each couple’s wedding dreams to life and adding that special touch to their big day. When I’m not busy planning my own wedding, you can find me baking, hanging out with my family and pets, staying active, or diving into a new book. I’m super excited to help create unforgettable memories for all our couples!

ELIZABETH
Assistant

Hi! I'm Elizabeth, I am currently at student at Sacramento City College. When I am not assisting with weddings, I am cheering on the River cats, hanging with friends, traveling, trying new restaurants, watching movies with my family or rocking out to Fleetwood Mac or Taylor Swift (bigtime Swiftie here)! My favorite part of weddings is seeing the Bride and Bridesmaids dresses, the couple's faces during the first dance or seeing how the couple made the day their own. It is so much fun to watch the day unfold!

QUINESSA
Assistant

Hi! I'm Quinessa (like Vanessa with a Q). I'm originally from St. Paul Minnesota and I moved to California to get my Masters Degree. I wear many hats as an assistant ballet instructor, freelance costume designer and a youth advocate, in addition to assisting at Blissfully Elegant Events. My passions include celebrity gossip, social justice and my two Cats, Oliver and Josephine. My favorite thing about weddings is the first dance. I love watching two people feeling like they're the only ones in the world.
