JFTO and Lisa Nelson is the preferred vendor for the Kingdom Image Awards for the past three years. Lisa is passionate about the work she does and definitely takes the vision and creates as if it was her own. There is nothing that is too hard for JFTO. Lisa takes on the full project and communicates throughout the planning to ensure supreme quality service and works with other vendors for an overall organization win. I would highly recommend JFTO.

Lisa designed my wedding exactly as I had imagined. She kept me informed about plans and details. I received so many compliments from my guests on the decor and food! I have absolutely no regrets with choosing Lisa to help me with my wedding day. She made the whole wedding planning process stress free for me and she was an absolute delight to work with. All of Just For The Occasion staff were very friendly, helpful, and professional. I would highly recommend Lisa to anyone for their upcoming wedding or special event!

Lisa, ADR Productions and the cast, would like to thank, Just For The Occasion, LLC Catering & Event Planning, for the fine catering service provided during our stage production event. The food served for both nights was top of the line; very delicious and eloquently presented. The sandwich platters were very tasty and the desserts were superb! We appreciate the professionalism and the service provided. You will definitely be called upon for our future events.
