Wonderful planning :)

I would recommend Joanne and her work whole-heartedly. She was our wedding planner when my son and daughter-in-law were married a few years back (fabulous then too!). And now it was time for a baby shower. As a family, we had been talking for weeks about what type of event and suddenly we were running out of time. I thought of Joanne and reached out. She was immediately and enthusiastically at the ready. She offered up venues, themes, photographers, and game ideas. We ran with many of her ideas and she reached out to make arrangements. On the day of, she was perfect help. I could focus on the party and Joanne ensured that the afternoon played out as planned.

Joanne and Andrea are amazing!

Joanne and Andrea were wonderful to work with when planning my wedding! Joanne and Andrea both helped with planning details, but Andrea was at our wedding as the day of coordinator. It was so nice having someone else there to help with timelines and day of management. They both helped make my day stress-free and running seamlessly. Thank you for all of your help!

“Everything was perfect!” thanks to Best Day Ever!

Joanne and Andrea, our day-of coordinator, made my daughter’s June 2022 wedding a day we keep reliving with happy hearts! It all started with our initial meeting and the details Joanne thought of that helped direct our plans. The precise timeline for the wedding day enabled everyone (vendors included!) to be where they needed to be when they needed to be there. The bride and her mom were able to relax and enjoy every moment without worrying about a thing! Thank you, Joanne and Andrea! You are the “BEST wedding DAY planners EVER!”

Coordinating with other vendors

Joanne hired me to do balloons for one of her clients. She was a dream to work with. She was able to communicate her clients needs/wants clearly and promptly. She was detail oriented and made sure all vendors were on the same page. I could tell her efforts put her clients minds at ease so they were able to enjoy the party. I can't wait to work with her again!

Recommendation for Joanne Messerly

We hired Joanne as the planner for our baby shower and it's the best decision we've made! She's very easy to communicate with and always understand what I want. She's detail-oriented, organized and professional. She really listens to my needs and makes great suggestions. She's also an awesome coordinator between me and the vendors. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is planning an event. She's a valuable addition!

6/25/21 Wedding

We would have not had such a beautiful wedding day without the help of Joanne and Best Day Ever! Joanne was beyond helpful and was able to keep us on track with planning every step of the way. Andrea was our day of coordinator and was so helpful and easy to work with! We loved using Best Day Ever to help plan our big day!

Excellent-Out of this world-Amazing!

I don't know where to begin! But I will say that I would not have had the most wonderful day if it was not for Joanne and Best Day Ever! I was living in Texas at the time and planning a wedding for 2 years with all the help from Joanne. She would set up all my vendor meetings, call me, give me lists, and help with planning through video chat. And when I flew in for a weekend, she would have everything set up for me so I wouldn't have to worry about getting meetings while I was here. As the unfortunate pandemic hit... Joanne was so on top of it. I was still living out of MN and needed so much help with planning, especially when we decided to postpone out wedding. She helped us plan, get new vendors, communicate with current vendors in a timely manner to get a 'new' wedding planned in just 3 months. And to put it shortly... It was the most perfect day! While there are hitches with any wedding, Joanne helped with everything, she was always 1 step ahead. On wedding day, she was like a fairy godmother, she had everything under control. She had her handy bag of everything that could go wrong to help make the day perfect. To say that Best Day Ever! made my wedding day The Best Day Ever is an understatement! Thank you so so much for everything and I recommend you to anyone and everyone who is having a wedding and event in MN!

Mother of Bride

Joanne is a terrific wedding planner! Throughout all the months before the wedding, we had a timeline, she kept us on schedule. She thought of everything so that our day ran smoothly without any hiccups. This even amidst a pandemic!
I highly recommend her services. She was personable, easy to work with, always had great ideas, and offered solutions to prickly situations.

Best decision to hire Joanne!

We are so happy we decided to have Joanne of Best Day Ever help with our wedding! We went with the Day of Coordination package. We met with Joanne a couple of times and she was able to take care of everything else over email which was very helpful for us! She created extremely detailed timelines for our family and bridal party and coordinated the vendor timelines as well. This was tremendously helpful and took so much stress off our plate! She has a great deal of expertise regarding all things wedding related and was very generous with helping us figure things out!! On the day of the wedding she was amazing and it was so nice knowing that she was there to make sure everyone was where they needed to be and we were moving along with our schedules. We are so thankful to Joanne for all of the hard work and time she put into making our wedding day run so smoothly! We highly recommend her and Best Day Ever!

Excellent planner!

Joanne was wonderful in all aspects of helping us with our daughter's out of state wedding. She zeroed in on the best vendors and called and called and called getting appointments set up for us, confirming all the details and making sure everything was ready to hand things off for our day of coordinator on-site, making for a seamless transition. We really liked how she had things "paced" throughout the planning process so we never felt overwhelmed with decisions or tasks. She was amazing at thinking of little details we had not considered that really added special touches to the day and to the decor. Finally, her enthusiasm and energy was always a great help in conquering a seemingly way too long to-do list! We highly recommend Joanne!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Joanne had just started her business when I met her a few years back, and since then her business has grown on the foundation of her sheer joy at being a wedding planner and the excellent customer service she always provides. Congratulations!
