Ashley T. Married on 06/12/2021Joan day is amazing
There are not enough words to express how thankful we are for Joan and her team! I’m a planner, an organizer, and like everything a certain way. At first I didn’t think I needed a wedding planner because I wanted to do everything myself. Oh boy was I wrong, Having Joan as our wedding planner was the single best decision I made during the entire process! After speaking with Joan once, I knew she was perfect for me! I immediately felt a big weight taken off my shoulders once we booked with her! A wedding professional is the way to go and you will not go wrong with JOAN DAY! She has the sweetest and most caring heart! She was so helpful from guidance on etiquette, time savings, pulling our vision together, decor setup and great vendor recommendations. Most importantly, she just HANDLED everything with so much grace!!
Our family has been talking about how wonderful and calm she was during the entire wedding process!
I didn’t even go the venue prior to my grand entrance because I knew it was going to be more beautiful and more magical than I could have ever dreamed of because of Joan and her team. For those that know me, couldn’t believe that I went all day without taking a look. I trusted Joan after only knowing her for a short time with my fairy tale wedding that I have dreamed of since I was a little again.
Thank you Joan for making our dreams come true and pulling everything off ❤️ We are so lucky to have met you!Joan Day Weddings's reply:
Ashley and JK - congratulations, again, on your marriage! We greatly appreciate your choosing us to support your day of coordination and execution of your big day! Thanks a million for the kind words and thoughts on our services. We appreciate it and enjoyed working with you and your families.
