About Your Wedding Planner
Hi, I’m Janice Baskin.
I have been married for 32 years to my wonderful man and we have three beautiful daughters.
I have dedicated most of my professional life to education, which has provided many experiences to grow my passion for helping others and keen eye for problem-solving. After directing my first wedding for one of my former students, I knew wedding planning was my passion in life. Then planning my daughter’s wedding motivated me to make my dream job of wedding planning a reality.
My wish is for every bride to enjoy the wedding of her dreams without stress or worry. My goal is for the bridal couple and all their guests to enjoy the celebration, so I focus on anticipating each desire or need while finding ways to make the time more fun and less stressful.
I look forward to meeting you and helping you feel celebrated during your perfect wedding.
