As a Professional DJ with 25+ years of experience , some planners often stand out for their professionalism, communication and how 'well put together' the event is from start to finish. .... I will say , ALL BOXES were checked with the addition of the exceptional customer service that was displayed throughout the entire process......... I wlll be referring this company to brides and grooms this 2025-26 wedding season.

We are forever grateful to Alex Carr and the JALD team for going above and beyond to make our wedding dreams come true! Alex was professional, knowledgeable, and is clearly an expert in the field. She was so helpful throughout the process and had such creative suggestions to bring our vision to life. She is the absolute sweetest and it is evident how much she values and loves the couples she works with. She is bubbly, compassionate, joyful and has the most contagious smile! She and Emily were the most perfect planners to have on our wedding day and every detail was executed seamlessly. Our day was absolutely perfect and exceeded our expectations thanks to them. We are so thrilled to have worked with JALD for our day and couldn't recommend them more!

Absolutely phenomenal experience! We had the pleasure of working with Emily King, and it was the best decision and the most important vendor we hired for our wedding. From the very first meeting to the final farewell, Emily demonstrated unparalleled professionalism, creativity, and dedication.

Emily took the time to understand our vision (she made my fuchsia color palette look absolutely stunning) and turned our dreams into reality. Every detail, from the gorgeous flowers to the linens, to the custom stationary, to the seating arrangements, was meticulously planned and flawlessly executed. Her expertise and passion for her work were evident in every interaction and every element of our special weekend.

What truly set Emily apart is her ability to handle unexpected challenges with grace and efficiency. She made sure everything ran smoothly, allowing us to relax and fully enjoy our wedding weekend without any stress. The team’s coordination was seamless, and the vendors they recommended were top-notch (Aaron Watson (AMAZING photographer); Rachael Curry (extraordinary videographer); SteelCut Flowers (OMG heavenly floral), to name just a few.

Our guests are still raving about how beautiful and well-organized our wedding was, and we owe it all to Emily. If you’re looking for a wedding planner who will go above and beyond to make your day perfect, look no further. We can't recommend Emily and Just a little ditty highly enough. Five stars simply doesn't do justice to the exceptional service they provide!

I want to renew our vows so I can plan another party with Emily!!! xoxoxoxo

We cannot express enough how great our time was with both Emily and Dickie at Just a Little Ditty. The wedding planning process at times can be stressful but they went above and beyond to make our wedding day on 10.22 flawless and unique to us! My mom and I could go on and on about their services, but when the wedding was over, we felt we made friends out of both of them as well, as they are both such personable and intelligent ladies. Their expertise and ideas made the process enjoyable and we cannot thank them enough for everything they did. We love Just a Little Ditty! Love, Kathleen, Robin, Jon & Chapin

I wish I could give more than 5 stars - Emily from Just A Little Ditty is an absolute angel. She is a calming presence when you need one. She is organized down to the very minute. She is responsive, easy to work with, knowledgeable, detail-oriented, and just an overall good person. We would have been lost without her. The entire weekend went flawlessly because of her. I cannot recommend Emily and her team enough.

Emily and just a little ditty were the absolute best at bringing my daughter's wedding vision to light! We live out of town, so having a local planner was essential for us. Emily is friendly, attentive, professional, extremely organized, super fast at responding to texts/emails/phone calls, and knowledgeable with all things vendor and venue-related. There was not one time when we asked her a question when she didn't know the answer immediately. Hands down the best at what she does. The result of her hard work was a stunningly beautiful wedding day for my daughter and son-in-law. Definitely choose just a little ditty, the level of top notch service is incredible, and you will not be disappointed!!

I cannot emphasize enough how amazing Maureen McKenna & the whole JALD team is! Booking JALD and having Maureen as our wedding planner was easily the best decision we made. Maureen's organization and attention to detail allowed us to relax during the planning process and actually ENJOY our time engaged.

Maureen provided several resources at the time of booking - a budget tracker and a timeline to keep us on track with planning. These were amazing to reference throughout our planning process and ensure we didn't forget anything. Maureen would regularly update these so we knew where we stood from a budget perspective as well as what we still had left to plan for. She was very knowledgeable with wedding trends and had amazing vendor recommendations. Maureen always provided more than one vendor for us to choose from, so we always felt like we had options for every aspect!

Maureen was able to take the vision I had in my head and actually bring it to life. Our wedding day exceeded my expectations, and thanks to Maureen we were able to enjoy the day stress free. Maureen's professionalism ensured the day went off without a hitch, but she also made sure we were having fun and able to relax, too. Alex also assisted day-of and the last few weeks leading up to our wedding, and she was also so friendly and easy to work with. Huge huge huge thank you to both Maureen & Alex for all their hard work and for keeping us sane throughout wedding planning! Our wedding day wouldn't have been what it was without the JALD team!

We were so incredibly happy with just a little ditty and Marilyn Speight! Marilyn was so knowledgeable about every vendor and venue in the area, and she could quickly point me in the right direction given our desires. She was able to answer all of my miscellaneous wedding questions throughout the planning process and put me at ease through all the decisions. Marilyn was very well organized, a really wonderful communicator, and she gave the most wonderful design and detail recommendations. Marilyn made our wedding day go perfectly smooth, and she helped us have our dream wedding! We never had to worry about a single detail during our entire wedding. We were so lucky to work with her! Working with just a little ditty was amazing and was absolutely necessary. We cannot recommend just a little ditty or Marilyn Speight enough!!

Choosing Dickie Morris to be our wedding planner was one of the best choices of our entire wedding!! Dickie is absolutely meticulous in organization, executes plans beautifully, and is the queen of orchestrating products and events to be absolutely beautiful, memorable, and stunning. Dickie is so wonderful in communication- quick to respond and thorough. Our wedding day was perfect, but also filled with obstacles (rain and losing grandparents right before the ceremony just a few of them!). Dickie handled each obstacle with SUCH ease and poise. I, the bride, did not even catch wind of anything being wrong until after the wedding when fun stories were ebbing told! Dickie took our vision, ran with it and made it into the most gorgeous day in the world. She organized our rentals with such skill and has a great breadth of choice vendors that she works closely with. The rentals turned our reception into the most romantic boho time that we had dreamed of always! Dickie is an amazing choice for our wedding day, rehearsal dinner, and any event!!!! Recommend so highly!

I am so beyond glad that we went with Maureen and just a little ditty as our planner. Maureen was so helpful from step one and made things so easy with detailed suggestions on vendors, budget, and all around advice. I had literally no idea how many things I needed to think about and Maureen was incredibly patient with all of my questions. She really knew exactly what would and wouldn’t work at the Clifton, and her understanding of the venue made planning so much easier. We had people telling us all day how wonderful the wedding was, and Maureen gets so much credit for how perfectly the day went. She made sure I didn’t know about any of the very minor issues at all during the wedding day and everything was executed exactly like I’d wanted. I cannot recommend just a little ditty and especially Maureen for your wedding!
