Future Brides and Grooms: If you read one review as you start the wedding planning process, LET IT BE THIS ONE.

Before I got married, I used to think brides who said their wedding was the “best day of their lives” were full of it. I mean, even if it was an amazing day, don’t weddings always mean at least a little stress and craziness?

Now that I’m married, I still think a lot of brides are full of it. However, when it comes to me and my husband, our wedding day was without a doubt THE BEST day of our lives by a long shot - and that is all because of Chloe and her team at Creating Joyful Moments (CJM).

After we got engaged, we knew we wanted a full service wedding planner. We met with several great planners in the Indy area with great reviews - but from the first 2 minutes of our meeting with Chloe it was clear that she was the obvious choice. I vividly remember (almost 2 years ago from writing this review) her genuine passion and excitement for us and for our wedding. Her energy was palpable.

If you are on the fence about a wedding planner…HIRE THE PLANNER. This will be the one time in your life that all of your favorite people will be in one place to celebrate you and your partner. It is absolutely worth it to have an expert plan and execute such a momentous event.

But why Chloe? Why CJM?

Chloe and her team take the time to get to know you. By wedding day, I’m pretty sure Chloe knew me better than I knew myself! She was able to take my broad ideas and turn them into something far beyond what I could have imagined. For example, my idea of ‘I want a colorful wedding’ became color blocked tables that had an ombre effect throughout the reception space and JAW DROPPING hanging florals above the dance floor.

Chloe and her team are TRUE professionals. Here is just one of many examples: it rained the day of our wedding. It was cloudy, but dry, all day up until about 30 minutes before I was going to walk down the aisle. The aisle that was outside.

Now, I am relaying this story as it has been told to me from guests and family members, because, on our wedding day, my husband and I were calmly ‘waiting out a little bit of rain’ in a private room. Our arriving guests were escorted into an indoor space to stay out of the rain. The ceremony musicians wouldn’t play in the rain, so as they were packing up their things, Chloe was getting our DJ (who was originally only supposed to be at our reception) set up at our ceremony space so that we would still be able to have music at the ceremony. To this day I truly do not understand how Chloe and her team did it, but at 4:30 PM on the dot, I was standing at the end of the aisle with my dad; music playing, chairs dry, guests in their seats, a gentle mist falling. And as guests rose and my dad and I started to walk, the rain stopped.

Thanks to Chloe and her team, we can say it (and mean it): our wedding day was a dream come true. The best day of our lives. Chloe and her team were our sunshine on our rainy wedding day.

I started working with Jenna and her CJM team about a year ago and wasn't sure what to expect when planning a wedding. Jenna came along my side and was kind, genuine, warm, supportive, intentional, and encouraging as decisions came my way. When I didn't know what to pick, she would use her talents and expertise to point me in the best direction for our day. During our Zoom meetings, there were times that Jenna made it so comfortable and easy that it felt like I was planning this with one of my good friends. That is what you can expect when working with CJM and Jenna. A team in your corner cheering you on every step of the way. Their vendor team, from photographers to signage recommendations, was fantastic and an honor to know and work with. CJM and Jenna are the definition of a class act and are continuously looking to grow and perfect their craft. My husband and I couldn't have asked for a more incredible team to work with. Our wedding was way more than we could have planned and hoped for. It truly was a season of creating joyful moments from day one with Jenna and her team. I can't say enough about these incredible humans and how they made our wedding a dream come true!

Our wedding was an absolute fairytale, and Chloe deserves all the credit for turning our dreams into reality. We moved out of state during our wedding planning process, and knowing that would be an added challenge, we opted to hire a planner. That was the best decision we made. From day one, she was like our wedding superhero, swooping in with creative ideas and calming demeanor.

One of the things that impressed us the most was their attention to detail. The way they coordinated our vendor team and every detail seamlessly, from our breathtaking floral arrangements to the perfectly timed music during our ceremony, showed a level of expertise that truly made our day extraordinary.

I can't express how grateful we are for Chloe’s support and guidance throughout the entire process. When it came to choosing the venue, they listened to our vision and helped us find the perfect spot that felt like it was made just for us. The personalized touches she added, like incorporating our favorite colors into the decor and working with our photographer to display a sweet photo slideshow during the reception, made our day feel incredibly special.

Chloe and her team's positive energy was infectious and made the entire planning journey enjoyable. Their reassurance and quick problem-solving skills on the big day ensured that we could relax and savor every moment without a worry in the world. My husband and I were able to be fully present in every moment and did not have to worry about a single detail on the day of our wedding.

In short, Chloe isn't just an event coordinator; she is a memory-maker, a dream-weaver, and a true professional. If you want your wedding to be a magical experience, look no further. We are forever grateful for Chloe and her team’s hard work, dedication, and the genuine care they put into making our day the best day of our lives. Five stars aren't enough – they deserve a galaxy.
