janna simone

the designer + planner

I discovered my passion for weddings while planning my own in 2016. That experience showed me how emotional, transformative, and detail-driven this moment can be—and how overwhelming it feels without the right support. As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I also know what it’s like to navigate spaces lacking empathy or understanding. That’s why I founded Janna Simone Weddings & Events: to bring organization, elegance, and thoughtful advocacy to every couple I work with, ensuring each celebration reflects their love, values, and vision.
Growing up surrounded by creativity and family, I spent my days helping with community events and exploring my own entrepreneurial projects. Today, I draw on my background in customer care, my eye for detail, and my love of making people feel seen to craft soulful, elevated celebrations. Whether through laughter, planning, or just being there as a calm presence, my goal is to give couples peace of mind and a wedding day that feels as beautiful and authentic as they are.

Despite being so professional, she’s still good at understanding how emotional weddings can be. From our very first call, she helped me stay calm and anchored."

the logistical brain

As your wedding day draws near, I’ll be right there with you, ensuring that every detail is perfect and that you feel relaxed and cared for. Whether it's adjusting your train for that picture-perfect moment or straightening your bowtie to ensure you look sharp, I’m dedicated to making sure you’re confident and camera-ready. My journey into the wedding industry began alongside my wife, Janna, and over the years, I’ve found immense joy in playing an active role in our couples’ big days.

With a deep appreciation for fashion, I enjoy contributing creative ideas that bring an extra layer of sophistication and style to your event. From helping with styling concepts to ensuring the finer details are just right, I love finding ways to enhance your overall wedding experience. My passion for the industry continues to grow as I collaborate with Janna, witnessing firsthand the excitement and joy of each couple as their dreams come to life. Being part of such special moments only deepens my commitment to making your day extraordinary.
