We couldn’t have achieved my dream wedding (and my sister’s dream wedding!) without JoAnn, who has now become an extended member of our family. JoAnn helped navigate new wedding challenges in a COVID world with ease, brought amazing creative ideas and vendors to the table, and made the night of our rehearsal dinner and wedding go flawlessly. Joann is friendly, responsive, efficient, detail oriented, collaborative, and a problem solver- everything you’d want in a planner! My family and I cannot say enough great things about JoAnn, we only wish we had more celebrations to plan together!

Carrie Bride

JoAnn was absolutely wonderful. My wedding was perfect and it was all because of her. The vendors she suggested were great. She was able to get great prices and the quality of all the vendors was magnificient! She was always available. She had wonderful suggestions and was able to execute my vision. I had the wedding I always dreamed of and it was because of JoAnn and her staff. JoAnn was also great at handling all of the stress that comes with having a wedding. When you get JoAnn as a planner, you are not only getting a planner, you are getting a friend. I would absolutely recommend her as a planner.

Monique Bride

We contacted JoAnn with 2 months to go before the wedding, we still needed some vendors (Video, favors, transportation and accommodations for out of town guests) so many things we needed help with. Joann stepped right up and took care of all the details. She added items we did not even think about, and they added such a wonderful touch to the reception. Everything went smoothly, her team was a pleasure to work with and took care of all the details. Everything fell into place, my daughter and I did not have anything to worry about that day. JoAnn helped to bring all the details together and made it such an amazing day we can't thank her enough !!
