Hey guys! I'm Joy.
Thrift shopper. Beach bum. Wine lover. Mom to two grown children and one fur baby.
I never had any intention of being a wedding planner. Life leads us in interesting directions, doesn't it? Throughout my career, I have worked in everything from retail management to the legal field, and I never once dreamed of working in the wedding industry! However, in almost every job I have ever had, I have been involved in some type of event planning.
I moved overseas for a short while, and when I moved back to the states in 2015, I began working weddings in different capacities (officiant, assistant, etc) as a way to make money until I could find employment. Almost 200 weddings later, and I think it's safe to say that I have found my calling!
Some planners focus on design and aesthetics, but I plan from a very pragmatic and logistical approach. I am lucky to have great designers that I work with because I don't have much of an eye for design - although I am good at recreating Pinterest photos! I encourage every couple to add their own unique touches to their wedding - the more unique the better! I also enjoy helping people stretch their budget and save money in any way possible. I understand that weddings are expensive, and if I can help my clients save money without sacrificing the quality of their event, I feel accomplished! My overall goal is for the newlyweds to end their wedding day with big smiles on their faces!
Think we might work well together? Let's chat!
