I wish there was a way to give even more than 5 stars because our experience with Joy and Apropos Creations was beyond incredible! Even from the first inquiry message, we have had prompt and very attentive service. We had Joy as our wedding planner and that was the best decision we could have ever made. We had a vision for an Indian-Mexican fusion wedding where both cultures were represented evenly, and Joy brought that vision to life! Her calm demeanor, her organization, and her prompt replies to all our questions definitely put us at ease for the wedding. She connected us with the absolute dream team of vendors and her detailed and specific timeline ensured that the wedding day ran flawlessly. I can honestly say that I was not even a little stressed during the wedding, since I knew Joy had our backs. Her and the entire Apropos team is so kind and incredible and I would highly highly recommend them to anyone planning a wedding! We appreciate you so much! Aish + Juan

How do I even start or even explain the pure perfection Jo Ann and Joy provide?
I am a Type-A person, and I live with a constant motto: "If you are going to do something give it a 100%, or don't bother wasting your time on it." Jo Ann and Joy took my motto to heart, exceeded my expectations, and made my wedding process much easier. My family had an ongoing joke that I'd be a bridezilla and be miserable throughout my wedding, but somehow, these ladies helped me keep my cool and ensured my dream wedding came to life. These women were much more than just my wedding planners, by the end of the process they became my friends, and I think every couple needs that type of people in their corner. Wedding planning is stressful, especially when you plan a traditional Hindu wedding. Jo Ann and Joy tackled my Hindu wedding with such grace and professionalism that my 7 event wedding was a literal breeze. I had nothing to worry about because no matter what time, day, or what they were doing, if I had any questions, concerns, or all of the above, these ladies happily were there to take on every obstacle I had. I never felt like I was being annoying, a burden, or just asking for too much. They made it so easy to trust them with their job, and they were on top of everything.

To my future married couple, save yourself the struggle and time - just hire them. I need you to trust me. Jo Ann and Joy can handle it all,

We had the privilege of working with Jo Ann as our wedding planner and she is pure magic! If you have the opportunity to book with her, do it now!! Jo Ann's talent and expertise are unmatched. She poured her heart into helping plan our wedding day and that love was seen and felt in every interaction with her.

From the beginning, Jo Ann understood and embraced our classic, simple wedding theme, keeping it at the forefront of all our planning discussions. Her attention to detail and dedication to making our vision come to life were truly impressive.

One of the things we appreciated most about Jo Ann was her availability and responsiveness. She was always there to answer any questions and ease any nerves we had along the way. Her calm and reassuring presence made the entire planning process enjoyable.

Jo Ann and her team are truly impeccable. On the day of our wedding, everything ran smoothly thanks to their coordination and professionalism. Every detail was taken care of, allowing us to fully enjoy and cherish every moment of our celebration.

We couldn't have asked for a better experience. We highly recommend JoAnn to anyone looking for a wedding planner who combines talent, expertise, and a genuine love for what they do. Everyone always says you’re wedding day is one of the best days of your life, and our wedding day was just that, with a big thanks to Jo Ann.

If you are looking for a wedding planner in Arizona, Jo Ann is by far and away the absolute best! My wife and I are from New York but fell in love with the idea of having a multiple-day Indian wedding in Arizona. However, we knew absolutely no one in the area. After speaking to different venues and vendors in both Phoenix and Tucson, one name always came up…Jo Ann Grant!

She is universally respected across the state and with good reason. Jo Ann is the perfect mix of professionalism, personality and care for her clients. She is incredibly responsive and able to tackle all challenges and complexities that arise throughout the wedding planning process with ease. I am the type of person to ask a million questions and to request answers around all considerations I may have before making a decision. However, Jo Ann continuously kept us at ease with answers to our questions and thoughtful suggestions, making the decision-making process that much easier.

We are incredibly grateful to Jo Ann for doing everything she did to make our dream wedding a reality. Jo Ann ensured every detail had been thought through and that everything was coordinated to our liking. She helped facilitate numerous brainstorming sessions with us to ensure we received all relevant info and were aware of all potential options while also ensuring we were able to incorporate all of our desired details to all of our events.

My wife and I could write multiple pages about all the great things we have to say about Jo Ann. We wholeheartedly recommend Jo Ann for your wedding planning needs. With Jo Ann on your side, you can rest easy knowing you have the best team working to ensure your wedding weekend will be as amazing as possible!

Jo Ann is a sweetheart. She is very attentive and made sure that all of our concerns were addressed throughout the wedding planning process in a timely manner. Jo Ann is clearly a pro in this business. An added plus is that she is such a joy to be around. Her thoroughness in reviewing our contracts was great. She asked questions and brought up points that we would not have thought of on our own and saved us both time and money in the process. Jo Ann has great connections and we were so happy to have contracted with some of her preferred vendors. In addition, Jo Ann's colleague, Amy, was fantastic to work with!

Where do I even begin? I guess with, Jo Ann's amazing...

My wife is from Nepal and I'm from the US, so we had a Nepali Ceremony and a Western Ceremony on the same day, followed by a reception.

Jo Ann was given a budget, I asked her what's the best she can do for us, and she answered, exceptionally, and coordinated everything to perfection.

Her familiarity with Southeast Asian and Western weddings (and I'm sure many more), gave her the ability to bring things to our attention that we never would have thought of. She asks the right questions.

She was very responsive - always available for a phone call or in-person meeting. She was able to connect us with and/or recommend all the appropriate vendors. She provided a very detailed wedding-day timeline well in advance of the wedding, which she organized. She defused what would otherwise be a very stressful planning process. I could go on for days... My wife and I were able to enjoy our wedding day, and that's all we could have asked for.

Seriously, if you're looking for wedding planner, Jo Ann is your gal.

She will always hold a special place in our heart because of all the hard work, individual attention and passion she put into starting our marriage off right- with a wedding worth remembering.

I highly recommend her services

Working with Jo Ann and her team was the greatest joy of our wedding planning experience! Despite the relief of being done with planning, we genuinely miss our calls with Jo Ann. We originally went with another planner and decided to switch to Apropos halfway through. We planned a destination wedding and never actually saw the event spaces or met Jo Ann before the wedding. She joined in on our planning journey without ever missing a beat. While the process was challenging, with her optimistic outlook, Jo Ann made it fun, and even relaxing at times! We always knew that we could rely on her to get things taken care of, even if we were not on top of it. We looked forward to talking to her routinely, as she has a bright, beautiful personality and really wants to see your wedding dreams come to life. She replied to all messages (email, text, calls) promptly and no matter the time of day. She communicated seamlessly with vendors and had answers for our questions before we even asked them. I once asked Jo Ann a question about name change through marriage license, which is really outside the scope of the wedding planning. She told me she'd never been asked that before, but went out of her way to call the courthouse and had an answer for me the next morning. This is just one of many examples of how she goes above and beyond! On the day of the wedding, Jo Ann's presence was calming and we knew things would run smoothly with her, as you would hope a planner would make you feel. The added bonus you get with Jo Ann and her team is that they bring tons of smiles and laughter, making the day that much more fun and special! If there is any question at all in your mind, go with Jo Ann Grant 100% - you will not regret it!!

Jo Ann and her team were so easy to work with. Jo Ann is flexible and well versed in managing Indian weddings, which are large family affairs! She is well liked and respected by other vendors you are bound to work with while planning your wedding which creates seamless synergy and a smooth process!

There were some hiccups along the way but Jo Ann always found a solution to fix them and was able to manage two type A personalities (me and my mom) through the planning process! Our day almost got rained on but Jo Ann made sure we had several viable back up options and made us feel totally at ease when making the final call for our ceremony location!

I am so glad that we decided to hire Apropos Creations as our day of coordinator. My husband and I were so worried about all of the details that we had for the day and we really needed a team that could see our vision. Jenn really took the time to understand exactly what we wanted. She was there for every question and issue that we had weeks before the wedding. Jenn handled our day flawlessly and made sure that we had the best night. This team has so much knowledge about weddings and asked vendors questions that I would have never thought about. If I would have found them sooner I would have had this team plan my whole wedding. A truely phenomial job from this team! Thank you so much for all of your help!

There are not enough superlatives to describe JoAnn and Apropos Creations! Hiring Joann as our wedding planner was the best decision we ever made. Our wedding was multicultural (Hindu/Buddhist) and consisted of multiple events that took place over an entire weekend. We had no idea where to start and were taken aback by everything that needed to be done in order to carry out our vision. After meeting JoAnn for the first time, we knew that she was the wedding planner for us. Her knowledge of multicultural weddings, Indian weddings in particular, blew us away. Planning a wedding weekend for over 300 people can seem a bit daunting, but JoAnn was able to help us throughout the process. We had to stick to a strict budget due to the size of the wedding. Joann was able to not only meet, but far exceeded our expectations. She previously worked with our photographer, videographer, DJ and decorators so she was able to truly capture what we had in mind for our special weekend.

During our wedding JoAnn took care of everything and anything that needed to be attended to. She was there to guide everyone into their places and made sure that everyone stuck to the timeline. JoAnn and her staff were so attentive to our needs, getting us meals between events and taking care of possible problems that may have sprung up. She executed our vision better than we could have imagined. We keep getting compliments from our guests about her professionalism and letting us know how smooth our wedding went from each transition event to event. We can’t thank JoAnn and her staff for everything they have done in order to make our wedding a truly unforgettable experience.
