Joan is your person if you want someone who knows every element of a wedding from start to finish. She has everything organized in detailed sheets so you don't have to know what comes next or when to do what. My husband and I are pretty laid back so we didn't do all of the traditional things that happen on a wedding weekend, but Joan was flexible and just deleted those rows/columns off the sheet and kept going. I want to highlight Joan's professionalism and execution. She was able to execute my table decor with only a video from me as an example. I didn't worry about a single thing day-of because Joan was there managing stuff behind the scenes (including an irrational venue manager). She kept things moving smoothly from 12 months before the wedding through the final moment of our post-ceremony after party. I highly recommend Planning the I DO if you want affordability, detailed guidance, and flexibility.

Joan is absolutely amazing!! She thinks of EVERYTHING and makes your actual wedding day a breeze! She was also so wonderful with COVID - we had to cancel our original wedding due to the pandemic. She helped us plan an intimate ceremony for just the two of us and then stuck it out to plan our big day again 2 years later. I don't know what we would have done without her

Joan Hannan did an outstanding job as our wedding planner for my daughter's USNA wedding in September 2021. After multiple rescheduled dates due to Covid and letting go of a previous wedding planner, Joan saved the day! Her organization (i.e., incredibly detailed Excel sheets/timelines with pivot tables, no less) and kind personality went above and beyond all of our expectations. She held us to task with making decisions and keeping us on track, and alleviated all of the wedding stress that weekend. In fact, once the weekend rolled around, she coordinated everything flawlessly behind the scenes. Friends and family continue to tell us that it was one of the best weddings ever -- and many thanks to Joan for helping us make it such an incredible celebration. If you are on the fence, choose Joan -- you will not be disappointed!
