Testimonials
“Working with Hazel and Gray made my big day the success it was! I wouldn’t have been able to do it without Janelle. She can be involved as little (just day of support) or as much (calling vendors, coming to appointments, etc.) as you need her to be. I like that flexibility as some things were harder for me to tackle on my own than others. She made all the prep go super smooth and kept it organized.
The big day she was such a help in making sure all the details were executed perfectly! If you are thinking of hiring a wedding planner, do it! And make sure it is Hazel & Gray!”
“It was such a pleasure working with Janelle! Very detailed and on top of everything. Made the whole process smooth and easy, could not of asked for anything more, defiantly recommend to anyone.”
“Janelle is the absolute best, she is so professional, but so fun to work with! She thinks of absolutely everything down to the smallest of details! I would highly recommend anyone planning a wedding, or any event for that matter that they use Hazel & Gray Events!”
“I have known Janelle a long time. I have watched her help plan parties for herself and friends over the years, so when I had the honor of not only being the Mother of the Bride, but also the Matron of Honor, I knew I had to turn to Janelle for help. I not only had to help plan a wedding, I had a destination Bachelorette party to plan for 15 women! I was nervous about planning the bachelorette party considering it was for my daughter and in my day a bachelorette party was not much more than the girls going for drinks! Janelle was invaluable to me in every aspect from helping to find the perfect hotel, making dinner reservations, scheduling drivers and pick up times, customized bathing suits and shirts for the squad, personalizing our own Pictionary game to suit the group and the occasion, to shipping decorations and giant floats to the hotel! Her insight and instinct was spot on! We didn’t want the ‘typical’ bachelorette. We wanted tasteful but fun with just a little bit of adult humor thrown in. Janelle delivered on all accounts! Everything went smooth and everyone had an absolute blast!
As for the wedding, Janelle went above and beyond! She has a natural instinct for knowing what people want or need within a short period of time! Her knowledge of venues, vendors, color pallets, flowers, what works, keeping within budget (the list goes on...) is amazing! No detail is too big or small for her. She even went dress shopping with us and while I was trying on dress after dress that just wasn’t working for me, she managed to slip two in the dressing room that I would have never even considered. When I said that to her she just smiled and said ‘just humor me’. To my surprise, they not only fit perfect, but I felt beautiful! My daughter said ‘those are the dresses mom! Your face just lit up when you looked at yourself in the mirror!’ I cried....and I bought both dresses! One for the rehearsal dinner and one as my Matron of Honor dress for what turned about to be a beautiful wedding!
I cannot say enough good things about Janelle and her talent for just knowing what’s right for each event, be it friend, family or client. She is very giving of herself and her
time and was very patient with this mom that asked a lot of questions, changed her mind and back again and made an umpteenth millions of calls! Janelle loves what she does and it shows in every detail. This is not ‘just her job’, it’s her passion and it’s what she was born to do! Now...for that baby shower that I have to plan..... :)”
“My husband and I have a very unconventional journey...Janelle Mily has been there throughout that journey with grace and understanding. We hired her and had to make some adjustments with our plans... Janelle has been very compassionate and accommodating, I thank you for that. She eases stressful situations with her clear rational thinking, I thank you for that. Just Recently, we hired Hazel & Gray Events to get some hubby and wife ‘engagement’ style pictures of us. I am ecstatic with our first professional pictures done together as a couple and it just gives me a taste! Of what is to come for our special day :). She made us feel comfortable and relaxed. She flowed with my weird request and really just captured the essence of our relationship: by getting funny silly and weird pictures along with the sentimental intimate ones. She listened to what we wanted and captured our moment so we can save it for a lifetime. Janelle did not rush or judge us and throughout the whole process gave great suggestions and took many pictures at different angels. When my husband and I do eventually have our wedding reception here with our family and friends there is not a doubt in my mind that Janelle will make our day tailored to our style and personalities... because that what she does- she looks at you as an individual couple and figures out what is best for you (even when your uncertain what’s best or what you want!) Because everyone and every relationship is different and she takes the time to really get to know you, and your wishes.
I highly recommend Janelle Mily and her company Hazel & Gray Events, at least to anyone that wants to not only an event planner but a friend that cares about your individual needs.”
