Joan Day made my "Day" everything I dreamed of

Joan made my wedding day dreams come true. She listened to my vision, helped me refine and improve upon the details and stayed on budget too!

The most amazing part is that she helped me pull this wedding off from start to finish in less than 3 months. Of special note were the top tier vendors she lined up that probably wouldn’t have even returned my calls if I’d try to do this without her connections.

As an added bonus, Joan is a lovely, elegant person with a very calming demeanor to balance out a nervous bride’s. The wedding was a success in every way and that wouldn’t have happened without Joan’s years of experience, her attention to detail and the creativity & class that she brings to her events.

I am so thankful for Joan!!

Joan was such a blessing! We hired her 8 weeks before our daughter's wedding. I was trying to do it all myself. I was absolutely stressed out! She has the best demeanor for high stress clients and situations. She's very calming, eloquent, and professional! The decor, fresh greenery, fabrics, swags, etc. all exceeded my expectations! My daughter and I both cried when we walked into the venue for the rehearsal dinner and saw everything. It was amazing! The pastor also had to cancel at the last minute and missed the rehearsal. Joan didn't miss a beat and stepped in to explain to everyone what to do. I didn't realize how much I needed her! I will most definitely be hiring her again for my other daughter's wedding next December.

We LOVED working with Joan and team!

Joan was great to work with. She was timely and has great vendors she works closely with. We live out of state and could not have planned our SC wedding without her! Everyone kept asking if I was stressed with the planning and I never felt any because of Joan and her team.

Joan Day Weddings Review - Excellent

Joan Day helped us to navigate the many challenges associated with planning our daughters wedding. Over several months, Joan's extensive knowledge of vendors and venues helped us to plan the perfect day. Joan's relationship with the vendors and understanding of how they all work together was instrumental in all of our decisions and assured us that the wedding would meet our expectations. Also, we had no worries the the day before and the day of the wedding - Joan assumes the responsibility to coordinate, orchestrate and facilitate all the important details associated with venues to vendors so our family could focus solely on our guests and, of course, the most joyous occasion of our daughters beautiful wedding ceremony and reception. It was a perfect day, thanks to Joan.

Dream wedding planned by the best wedding planner!

We had the absolute best day and are so thankful to have had Joan as our wedding planner. Everything turned out outstanding and family and friends raved about our wedding. I loved Joan and how patient and kind she was throughout planning. She also had a great taste and knew exactly what I would like based on conversations. She also was very responsive and gave great insight on the process.
