Walker wedding 6/6

We hired Shana with Joyous Occasions as our day-of wedding coordinator about two months before our wedding, and from day one she was absolutely amazing. She is down-to-earth, knowledgeable, and incredibly experienced. Even though we brought her on a little later in the planning process, she quickly jumped in, reviewed all of our vendor contracts, and made sure nothing was overlooked.

Shana was present at our rehearsal and ensured everyone knew exactly what to do, which gave us so much confidence going into the big day. On our wedding day, everything ran seamlessly because of her organization, professionalism, and attention to detail. She was incredibly hands-on, always available when needed, and even helped bustle my dress.

I truly cannot thank Shana enough for the time, care, and effort she put into making our wedding day perfect. She went above and beyond in every way. If you're looking for a coordinator who is professional, organized, experienced, and genuinely cares about her couples, I highly recommend Shana and Joyous Occasions!

Shana was truly a lifesaver and the epitome of professionalism.

Shana came on board at the last moment to assist with my daughter's wedding. Although most of the wedding plans were finalized, she immediately brought much needed organization with a sense of confidence and warmth.

Right from our first conversation, her calm and reassuring demeanor made a world of difference. Planning a wedding is stressful—especially so close to the big day—but Shana quickly put us at ease. She took the time to understand every detail that had already been arranged and swiftly pinpointed areas that needed extra attention. Her talent for crafting a clear, detailed day-of schedule was invaluable, ensuring everything ran smoothly from beginning to end.

On the wedding day itself, Shana managed the setup and timeline at both the ceremony and reception venues with expert precision. She handled every challenge gracefully, solving problems before they even became apparent. Thanks to her organization and steady presence, the entire day unfolded effortlessly and was filled with joy.

In addition to her professionalism, Shana’s kindness and genuine care stood out. She went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect, and her calm energy transformed what could have been a stressful day into a truly enjoyable celebration.

Shana is organized, thoughtful, and wholeheartedly committed to making the day unforgettable. She is highly recommended for anyone seeking someone who can step in at any stage of planning and make everything shine.

Best of the best!

I really don't know where to start. Shana really put her all into our special day and it really showed. From day one she was attentive and stern with us. She has this magical ability to really help make a vision come to life. She was able to ground us when we were feeling the high of engagement and while celebrating us, she kept us grounded.
if something went wrong during our wedding, we didn't know about it because it was handled way before we ever would've known about it.
12/10 stars across the board!
We love Shana and Joyous Occasions!

Shana is Amazing!!

We recently had the pleasure of working with Shana Love as our Wedding Coordinator, and we cannot recommend her highly enough. From our very first meeting, Shana demonstrated professionalism, attention to detail, and a genuine passion for making our special day perfect. She met with us multiple times prior to the rehearsal, ensuring that every element of our vision was clearly understood and expertly planned. Shana's guidance during the rehearsal was invaluable; her calm demeanor and clear instructions helped everyone feel confident and prepared for the big day.

On our wedding day, Shana truly shined. She worked tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure everything went smoothly, skillfully keeping us on track with our timeline while addressing any unexpected issues with grace and efficiency. Thanks to her dedication, we were able to enjoy our day stress-free and make unforgettable memories. If you’re looking for someone who goes above and beyond, Shana is the coordinator you need!

Can't imagine planning our wedding day without her!

We couldn't be happier with our decision to hire Shana as our day-of coordinator. There is so much more that goes into planning a wedding than you think and looking back I honestly don't know how we would have pulled off such a magical day without her.

Shana was exactly what we were looking for. She is professional, organized, attentive, patient, easy to work with, and goes above and beyond with handling all wedding aspects while using the skills and knowledge she's gained from her years of experience. From our first contact with Shana, she was there to put my stress at ease while keeping us on track with all tasks leading up to our big day. She was super responsive to any questions/concerns I had in between our monthly check-in meetings and even made a special trip out to the venue to help me plan the layout of the ceremony and reception. Not to mention, Shana was quick to jump in with her assistant to make sure our reception ran smoothly after the party staff I had hired canceled due to transportation issues.

We would recommend Shana in a heartbeat as she exceeded all our expectations. We are still getting calls and texts from our family and friends about how amazing our wedding was and we couldn't have executed our big day without the help from Shana. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Professional and

Shana was great to work with from beginning to end. She checked in regularly, was thorough in her services, and did not shy away even during a Pandemic. Instead, she took on the challenge to work with my Husband and I on our Backyard Wedding and did everything with poise and professionalism. She was the support and cheerleader I needed in these challenging times.

On our Wedding Day, she did not skip a beat. She was very punctual, organized, and was able create a beautiful setting with limited space.
Everything worked out better than we expected and couldn't have asked for a better person to help make our night special.
Thank you Shana, we appreciate you!

Shana was amazing

I had the pleasure of working with Shana for our wedding. There were a number of hurdles we were faced with last minute as a pandemic erupted right before the wedding. She kept her cool and was able to nail everything perfectly. Working with her up to the event was easy and she was extremely flexible as we lived 3 hours away from her. Thank you Shana! You made our day truly amazing!

Day of coordination

This lady rocks. I was very organized but extremely anxious about all the details for our wedding. Shana was warm and welcoming. She definitely knew her stuff. The day was perfect. If there was anything that didn’t “go right” the day of, we had absolutely no idea about it. Which I think is exactly what you want in a planner. She took charge and ran the entire day. She is amazing. Hiring her would be one of the best things you can do for your wedding

Above and beyond

Shana is beyond amazing! Her expertise and professionalism was a breath of fresh air. Along with her kindness, thoughtfulness and smile that lit up the room! She provided everything and more of what I expected from a wedding coordinator.

Shana was all hands on deck from the first email sent. She truly went above and beyond with every aspect of my wedding. She remained in constant contact between myself, the venue and vendors. She was quick to respond to emails, had a plethora of knowledge and advice, and was readily available for any conversations when needed.

She was very organized and even up of brought up things that never even occured to me when I thought I had everything well thought out. I am very particular about the way I expect things done. With Shana, I was able to simply lay out my ideas and she executed my vision to perfection!

Words cannot begin to express how grateful I am to have had Shana on my wedding day! I highly recommend her to all the brides searching.

Thank you Shana for an outstanding job!

Fantastic Job!!

Highly recommend Shana!!! My (now) husband and I found out 2 months before our wedding that the venue required us to have a licensed day-of wedding coordinator. Luckily, we found a wedding planner who assigned us Shana. I met with Shana in-person once before the wedding to fill her in on my vision; connect her with all of my vendors; show pictures of my decorations; and discuss floorplan. From there, Shana took care of all of the final details! She worked on the day-of schedule; contacted vendors to confirm drop off/pickup times; arranged all of my personal decorations just as I envisioned it; and kept everyone on schedule for the ceremony and reception! Our wedding was beautiful, stress-free, and ran super smooth. If I could do it all over again, I'd hire Shana from the very beginning!
