About

Coordinating and planning have been a passion and joy of mine for close to 10 years. I began helping my Mom coordinate weddings at the church I grew up in. I loved helping her set things up, helping get everyone in place for the wedding, and keeping things running on time. From there, I began coordinating weddings for friends and acquaintances. After spending two seasons coordinating at a local venue, I knew it was something I wanted to do more of and began thinking about starting my own company. Fancy Peacock Events was born in 2013, and is now a reality. Thanks to the support and help of my husband Brandon, as well other good friends, I am ready to start this new chapter of my life. I am looking forward to working with you on your event

Can't recommend Joy enough!

Joy and the absolutely incredible business she has established through Fancy Peacock are the reasons our wedding went through without a hitch! If I had the means to hire this woman to plan my life on a daily basis, I would. Not only were her services needed in our case (we had our wedding at a venue that did not provide coordination the day of), but we loved that her packages fit our needs perfectly. She was one of the few event coordinator sites that we came across that advertised specifically day of coordination - a lot of other sites required us to tack on some form of coordination leading up to the day as well, which my husband and I were fine taking care of on our own. She was such a delight to work with, being incredibly clear on details she needed from us and leaving no stone unturned when it came to very specific details for a wedding. I remember feeling such a wave of relief wash over me when we had our final meeting with her and I truly saw how organized she was with all of our details, remembering items that I had forgotten out of feelings of stress leading up to our wedding weekend. She was constantly there to remind us it’s going to be ok and to remember to enjoy a day that really does go by incredibly fast. On the day of, she and her assistant helped with setup, vendor check-in, timeline check-in, and ensuring everything was moving according to schedule. She even came down to the room where I was getting hair and makeup done several times to give me personalized check-ins, which was incredibly touching. The best part was after our ceremony when Joy came right up to my husband and me, said, “Congratulations!” and placed both of our signature drinks in our hands! She knew out of experience that drinking and even eating are not always top priorities for a bride and groom, and she made sure that we were enjoying the little touches of our wedding just as much as our guests were. Cleanup was also a breeze at the end of the night because of Joy - she helped us plan a schedule ahead of time as to what items were going with which person, which is a godsend when everyone (especially family members) is a little fried at the end of the night, haha. We couldn’t have had a smoother and more joyful wedding day, thanks to Joy and her team!

Peace of mind

Joy was awesome to work with! We did her day of coordination services but she really was there for us throughout our planning as well! She was available via email to help us with any small questions we had. She sent out helpful tip emails periodically to help us stay on track with planning. Her details sheet for the day of was daunting, but only because she really gets to know the tiniest details of your wedding so that she can run the day smoothly for you and makes sure it’s exactly what you want! I was completely calm on my wedding day knowing that she was taking care of everything. And her emergency kit came in handy throughout the day too, haha. Can’t thank her or recommend her enough!

If you’re on the fence about whether to spend the money on a coordinator or not just pull the trigger and do it! You spend all this time and money planning your big day, you want to be able to sit back and actually enjoy it when the time comes!!

10/15/21 Wedding

If you’re going to make one definite decision about your wedding, make sure you book Joy! She was absolutely a literally joy to work with prior to and on the day of my wedding. Joy made my day so seamless and stress free. She was so organized with all of our details for the wedding. I also loved that she had her own rentals too. We ended up renting her velvet chairs for our sweetheart table. Joy was such an immense help in every aspect. We had an incident where both of our memorial collage frames broke. Joy literally saved the day and put them back together herself. She helped move items from our ceremony space to our reception that I was even questioning whether they could be moved. I can go on and on how much she made our day so peaceful. She was a true blessing to have on the day of your wedding. If you were like me and on the fence about hiring a day of coordinator, take this as your green light to hire Joy. It will be one decision about your wedding you won’t regret.

Your wedding day is in good hands!

As a bride who thought she could do it all herself - do yourself a favor and set up a meeting with Joy. From our first FaceTime meeting, I knew she could envision our day the same way I could. My husband and I planned a very non-traditional, small wedding and Joy instantly convinced me she could help bring it to life. We booked Joy for our day-of coordinator, but anytime I needed reassurance throughout the whole process, joy was there. Her professionalism, experience, and ability to think outside the box made our day everything we wanted it to be. She allowed my family to relax and enjoy the day with us, knowing anything that went wrong would be expertly taken care of. She thought of every little thing from adjusting the schedule, planning picture locations, to handing me water at dinner. She was everywhere at once, and I never had to worry about a thing. Trust me, you want Joy to be a part of the best day of your life, she’s incredible!

Everyone needs Joy!!

There is no other way to say it, but every couple needs Joy from Fancy Peacock Events to help run their event!!! Joy goes above and beyond to make sure no detail is overlooked!!! From reading all of the fine print in contracts, to sending vendor emails, creating timelines and check lists, Joy is on top of every element that goes into planning an event!! She kept us moving on a super tight timeline, dealt with issues so we didn’t have to and could relax and enjoy the day, and made sure everyone was where they needed to be! She answered late night emails and questions to make us feel more comfortable and helped us navigate this crazy, uncertain time, and pull off the wedding we had envisioned and sooo much more!!! Please hire a wedding coordinator, even if your venue has a “venue coordinator”!!! They work along side them and are there to fully help the couple have the day the deserve!!! We could not have done it without Joy!!! Best money spent and clever grateful for all she did to make the day perfect!!!!

Amazing!

I don't even know where to start about Joy! She was just truly a blessing to have as our coordinator. She she went above and beyond through our whole process. I was stressing about all the questions I had for all of my vendors and after meeting with her, she had all those questions and started getting answers within hours of the meeting. The amount of stress she took off my shoulders was huge and I was able to enjoy the last couple months of planning. She was focused, super friendly and fun. She also got stuff done, that needed to be done. If something went wrong at my wedding, I have no idea because she on it and made sure it didn't ruin our night. I am so so happy that we went with her and her business. I highly recommend her service !!!

Made the day perfect and worry free!!

Joy is amazing, she is so well organized and detail oriented. She stays focus and on point. Joy can handle any situation that might come up, be it with a bridal party member, guest, or another vendor.
She makes it a point that if there are any questions or concerns to see her; so the Bride, Groom and their parents can relax and not deal with anything. (That was a blessing for me as the MOB).
Fancy Peacock Events can turn a beautiful reception room into a breathtaking magical dream come true.
On a scale from 1 to 10, she rates a 15.

Phenomenal

Joy from FPE was simply incredible to work with. She went above and beyond in every way. She truly helped our vision come to life, and for a person like myself who has a hard time letting go of control, I felt completely confident that Joy would take care of things and for the first time could relax and let someone else handle all the details. She also executed our decor and styling of the day with perfection. We could not have asked for a more perfect day and it was all thanks to FPE.

Day of coordinator but much more!!

Joy was an angel through my planning process. She was hired as my day of coordinator but she helped me so much more. She helped guide me through a pandemic and was able to use her decorating skills to really make my vision come to life. If you want a partner in your wedding please hire joy. I got so many compliments on how they were thankful joy was there to answer questions, direct people and help them out. Without her I’m sure my wedding would of been insane!

As of writing this, I've only had the privilege to work with Joy of Fancy Peacock Events, one time and I hope that changes soon. Joy was in total control but not in an overbearing way. Sometimes planners get so locked into their pre-made schedule that they can lose sight of the big picture and cause more drama than creating solutions. Joy can go with the flow, which in my opinion is one of the best qualities of a planner. I wish I could team up with Joy for every wedding!
