My husband and I had the immense pleasure of working with Janice to plan our small destination wedding in St. Helena, and we cannot recommend her enough. If you are getting married in Napa Valley, please look no further than Janice and Rue 29 Napa Valley. From the very first phone call with Janice, I knew we would be in great hands due to her exceptional professionalism, dedication to detail, and genuine kindness. It was also very important to us to work with someone who was local to Napa Valley, as it would be a first time visit for nearly all of our guests, and we wanted to provide recommendations from someone who really knew the area. Janice, a Napa local for decades, provided recommendations for guest accommodations, restaurants, local vendors, and even graciously utilized several of her personal contacts in the area to provide the best experiences for us and our guests over our wedding weekend. Janice was also quick to answer all of our [abundant] logistical questions and advised us on details ranging from timing of reception toasts to processional order, to where/when to bustle my dress (a process!), and so much more. Janice made us feel so at peace knowing that every detail was considered and planned for, and we were able to enjoy every aspect of our wedding day because of Janice’s coordination and expert ability to keep everything together. Janice is not only an amazing wedding coordinator but also a wonderful person, and I cherished getting to know throughout the planning process—I look forward to staying connected with Janice for years to come and could not have asked for a better partner in the planning process.

Janice did a wonderful job working and communicating with my daughter and me during her May destination wedding in Napa. Definitely FIVE STAR plus!! Janice’s professionalism and coordination abilities were top-notch and ensured a beautiful day and memories to last a lifetime! Truly a first-class experience.

Janice and her team at Rue29 Napa Valley are absolutely phenomenal! As a wedding photographer, I’ve had the pleasure of working with many planners, and Janice stands out as one of the best. I recently collaborated with her on a wedding at the Culinary Institute of America in Saint Helena, and the experience was seamless from start to finish. Janice’s attention to detail and her ability to bring the couple’s vision to life were truly impressive. Every element of the event was flawlessly executed, from the elegant decor to the perfectly timed transitions throughout the day. She has a remarkable ability to anticipate needs and keep everything running smoothly, which made my job capturing the day so much easier. Beyond her professionalism, Janice has such a warm and approachable demeanor. She worked effortlessly with all vendors, creating a collaborative and enjoyable atmosphere. Her passion for what she does shines through in every interaction. If you’re planning a wedding in Napa Valley, I can’t recommend Rue29 highly enough. Janice will ensure your special day is unforgettable and executed to perfection. I look forward to working with her again in the future!

As a father of the bride and officiant, I can't say enough about how helpful Janice was to my daughter, her new husband, and me. She was on top of every detail during rehearsal and the ceremony, with the timely deployment of a dog as ring-bearer. She also did me the extra favor of printing out my revised remarks in time for the ceremony. Decisive and thorough, Janice was at the same time accommodating and discreet, staying in the background to the point where it seemed things magically appeared. On top of all this, she is kind and unflappable. I can't recommend her highly enough.

We worked with Janice from Rue 29 on our wedding in Saint Helena, and we can't imagine pulling it off without her. She's fantastic, very organized, experienced and detailed, and she knows wine country better than anyone. Highly recommended if you are planning a wedding in Napa, Sonoma, or nearby areas.

Jeremy and I are from Boston, MA and had our destination wedding at Farmstead in August 2023. While I work in hospitality at home, managing weddings and many other types of events, we knew that planning our own wedding 3,000 miles away and 3 times zones behind would prove tricky. In stepped Janice and what a joy to work with she was. Janice was always available for a Zoom meeting, a quick phone call, a brief text message or a (sometimes longwinded… hopefully I wasn’t a Groomzilla) email! Since our venue was already determined, Janice jumped right on providing numerous referrals in the world of entertainment (both live and disc jockey), transportation, bakery, officiant, florist, tablescapes, and host venues for our pre- and post- receptions. Janice was instrumental in developing our weekend itinerary with special emphasis on the day of coordination in conjunction with the events team at Farmstead. Janice was exceptionally professional while managing our vendors and ensuring both her and the venue’s itineraries were in concert with each other. She was hands-on and on-site from our ceremony rehearsal on Friday afternoon until after we departed the reception on Saturday night, attending to every detail. Jeremy and I are forever grateful to Janice: her vision, her execution and her dedication to bringing together the most special day with our family and friends!

Janice made every aspect of our destination wedding planning process so easy. We live in Arizona and were married in Saint Helena, CA. Every suggestion Janice made was spot-on and made our day spectacular. I do not think we could have hired anyone more knowledgeable, detail oriented, and responsive than Janice. Our wedding day was a dream, and we were able to fully enjoy our day because Janice coordinated everything so perfectly. Janice made it her mission to ensure that our vision of our wedding was made a reality. We cannot thank Janice and her team enough for making our day so special. We highly recommend Janice for wedding planning. If you are not working with Janice for your wedding or event you are missing out!

Janice was amazing - we can’t recommend Rue 29 Napa Valley enough! Janice is extremely knowledgeable about the area and has great vendor recommendations and relationships. She was incredibly helpful and responsive to all of our questions from our first phone conversation up until our big day. Janice was detail oriented and thorough, great at handling unexpected situations and is a really kind and lovely person to partner with. We loved everything about our big day (including the lavender she brought us from her home!) and are so thankful to Janice for her guidance and help.

From the first interview call and throughout the planning and execution process, Janice at Rue 29 Napa was very professional, extremely knowledgeable about the Napa area and instrumental in achieving the perfect rehearsal dinner for our 90 guests. I live 2,500 miles away from Napa and she instilled in me the utmost confidence that we would achieve a shared vision for my event - from selecting the venue, to flowers, transportation, menu and wines, Janice's recommendations were all spot on. She understood what I wanted and worked diligently to make my vision complete. I trusted Janice completely! I would highly recommend her to anyone wanting to plan the perfect event.

Janice was our dream wedding planner come true! The thought of planning a wedding in California from Texas while working full time and being a full-time student was overwhelming, and as soon as I spoke to Janice, I felt at ease. She is extremely knowledgeable of the Napa area, detail oriented, thoughtful, full of wonderful vendor recommendations, and follows through extraordinarily quickly on the many to-dos of planning -- no waiting for a response or following up with Janice; she's on top of it and reminding me to take care of my own to-dos (exactly what I needed!). She was flexible and understanding on things I felt strongly about and took the lead to make recommendations on things I didn't have a strong perspective on. When a record heat wave hit Napa the day before our wedding, Janice seamlessly connected with every single vendor to move our ceremony & reception times back 1 hour to allow for the temperatures to drop in seemingly light speed time - I didn't even have time to worry before she had solved it all! Everything about our wedding was as or better than we hoped and I can't imagine it without Janice!

Planning a destination wedding certainly has its challenges, but when I met Janice at the venue, I knew my daughter and her fiancé were in good hands!! From the moment we met, I could see that Janice had the experience and knowledge necessary to create a seamless event -- and that she certainly did. She was able to answer our questions and/or concerns quickly and with certainty to put our minds at ease -- and we were thousands of miles away from the venue. In addition, Janice has a personality that is a pleasure to be around and work with; she is a good listener and does an excellent job understanding the wishes of the bride and groom and bringing their dreams to reality. By the time the weekend of the event rolled around, and as the Mother of the Bride, I had not a care in the world knowing that Janice had orchestrated and coordinated everything I could possibly have thought of (and beyond) seamlessly. On the day of the event, I was in awe of the beauty and elegance that was displayed at the event through the vendors that Janice recommended and coordinated. When someone is in business as long as Janice has been as a wedding planner, there is no doubt that she moves through the process with ease and confidence and certainly removes any concerns about food, timing, vendors, etc. Thank you Janice!!! Your hard work, caring and excellent expertise behind the scenes helped to make my daughter's wedding day magical. I highly recommend Janice Twomey, Rue 29 Napa Valley.

My husband and I got married at Auberge Du Soleil in May of 2021! Auberge listed Janice (Rue 29) on their approved vendor list which is how I first contacted her. I actually sent out a mass email to all of the wedding planners on that approved list with a strict budget I wanted to stick to! Janice happily responded saying that she would be glad to help me! We talked over the phone, and I honestly fell in love with her. She's so kind, detail-oriented (she even knew how the moon would be set on the night of our wedding), and of course, she was very professional! Working with her was such a dream. She helped us with our day-of coordination (I did 95% of the planning). She took all the plans that I had, made some recommendations about things I would have NEVER thought of on my own, hosted communication with all my vendors, and on the day of, she was honestly a point of calmness and safety for me. Janice is so passionate about what she does, and it honestly makes her so happy to be a part of all of these couple’s days... but I didn't realize how important it was for her to be there until the day of. I'll honestly never forget her and how special she made the whole day. Of course there's drama and things that go wrong at every wedding (it's inevitable) but she kept me away from all of it, not to mention handled all of it, and I was entertained to hear a bunch of stories of all the things she managed to fix at the wedding, way after I got back from my honeymoon! She's the best, honestly, and I couldn't have imagined it better. THANK YOU, JANICE!

Janice was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was incredibly on top of every detail, which allowed my OCD self to relax and feel confident that nothing would fall through the cracks. She also definitely went above and beyond in helping me not only plan one wedding but then reschedule and plan it again. If you want to feel confident that your vision will become a reality and that you will be able to focus on enjoying your wedding - hire Janice!

Janice is the epitome of what it means to be a true expert and professional. Her thoughtfulness, precision, and impeccable taste goes beyond what my now husband and I could have expected! Janice has tailored recommendations, a bullet-proof timeline, manages and keeps all other vendors accountable and provides a tier 1 level of service. She knows every wedding vendor and location in wine country and will help you navigate what feels like a chaotic number of choices to ensure you have the personal, unique and beautiful wedding of your dreams. Janice helped make our vision a reality and kept everything running so smoothly. Shockingly, we were both so relaxed and were able to enjoy our wedding day with zero crises or worries (I hear this is very unusual from all of my friends!!). Further, she pointed out corrections and adjustments in wedding contracts where, simply put, she paid for herself. If you don't think you need a wedding planner, you just don't yet realize you need Janice. She is truly a rare find. So, if she is available, book her immediately!

Janice was amazing!!! By far one of the kindest individuals at the top of her game! Always made myself and husband a top priority for our day! Janice – There are not enough words to say how grateful I am that you helped us with our beautiful wedding. I knew we would get along and the entire process was so much easier with your help. Thank you for your kindness, exemplary planning and being a sounding board. Brides are lucky to work with you. I know I was. Much love and forever grateful.
