Just me

Welcome! I am so glad you found me. Congratulations on this wonderful new chapter in your lives!

Events by Pamela Joy offers officiating and wedding planning. I am from Pelham, Massachusetts. Whether you are planning a small, intimate wedding or a glorious one, my wedding planning team is ready to assist couples and make their dreams come true. All weddings are approached with love and energy to ensure each couple's day is personal and stress-free. You're here because you are planning your dream wedding and want it to be delightful, individual, and memorable. Or perhaps you are here because you want to renew your wedding vows. Maybe even bless your new little one with a special ceremony that is designed especially for the new addition to your family.

If this describes you, you are in the right place.

I have been a wedding planner for over 35 years. I began officiating during COVID-19; it was "my covid pivot." I missed my couples and the wedding celebrations, so I got ordained! I was delighted to marry four of my couples during COVID-19. It was magnificent. There is nothing better than joining a couple with the ceremony script we've developed together and standing in front of their friends and family. People always ask me why I officiate weddings. It's very simple because I love it! My goal is to provide you with a memorable and romantic ceremony that you and your guests will always remember, which is why I accept only a limited number of weddings each year.

You choose between a Religious, Non-Religious, Spiritual, Interfaith, or Themed style ceremony. However you label it, right now you are at a significant moment in your life's journey.

No matter what type of ceremony you desire, I will work with you to make it memorable and meaningful.

Wherever your ceremony takes place, I'm happy to travel to that location.

Services Offered

Each couple is unique in the amount of assistance they would like during their wedding planning process. Therefore, Events by Pamela Joy allows couples to choose how involved the team is through full service, manage the event day, and design their own service and consultation options. Planning services include monthly check-ins, timelines, referrals, and more. A variety of wedding types can be planned and accommodated as well, including civil, cultural, destination, double weddings, eco-friendly, elopement, military, non-religious and religious. Officiant services are also available not only in Massachusetts but also in Florida's Sarasota County area.

Absolute lifesaver!

We started planning our wedding a year and half before the event and across the country from our venue. We hired Pam early on and from the start, she was such a huge part of us being able to pull this off. I can't say enough good things about Pam. She is so organized, kind, and warm. She has been in the industry for a long time so has so much experience and wisdom about the process. She would call us monthly for over a year and we would go through all the steps in the planning process although she was available far more often if needed. She sent us her planner workbook and vendor recommendations from where we got all of our vendors and they were all incredible finds, great recommendations. She made the long arduous process seem doable and was with us step by step. When we couldn't find a wedding officiant we knew, being across the country, we hired her as our wedding officiant as well and we were so delighted by having her officiate our wedding. She did a perfect job, and the actual wedding day went flawlessly. I highly recommend her as your wedding planner!

Extremely helpful and kind officiant

Pamela helped us when our original officiant had a family emergency and could not serve at our ceremony. Pamela was helpful and detailed in the planning leading up to the ceremony. Given the last minute change in plans we were very anxious but Pamela was calm and reassuring. She has a joyful presence and made our special day very peaceful. Thanks Pamela!

The wedding celebration planned by Pam was one of the most beautifully coordinated events we've played music for! Held on an orchard, special touches included red accents (inc. bridesmaids' gowns) echoing the ripe apples on the trees. Pam had TWO coordinators overseeing everything, including the ceremony's processionals, which proceeded in perfect timing.

I have done many weddings with Pam over the years and she truly knows what she's doing. She works with the other vendors rather than telling the other vendors what to do and ensures everything goes according to plan. You simply cannot go wrong with Pam at your wedding!

The best in the business. I had the pleasure of working with Pam at a backyard wedding in Amherst, Ma. Her expertise and attention to detail is top notch. I recommend her to anyone getting married as she knows what looks great and will give you outstanding quality service. She is very easy to work alongside and will make your vision for your day come to life. Hire her for your event and wedding as you will not be disappointed in her above and beyond approach.
