In the beginning I had no desire to hire a wedding planner, but boy was I SO glad that I did! I honestly don’t know how brides get through all of the wedding planning and especially the month-of/day-of coordination without their own Samantha! Choosing the partial-planning package option allowed for me to take the reigns and still be present during the planning process, while Samantha helped to get all of the logistics squared away and stepped in when my indecisiveness got the best of me to ensure that my romantic, dusty blue dream wedding came to life! From providing decor suggestions to creating the timeline of the ceremony, reception events, and rehearsal, etc. Samantha’s attention to detail and her talent for design and styling is just impeccable!

Samantha was with me every step of the way through the wedding planning process: From narrowing down design elements including linen and stationary selections (she even customized reception menus for each place setting!) and floor plans to the dreaded seating charts and table assignments, she also helped to handle issues that popped up with my venue just one month before my big day. Trust me ladies, you’ll want Samantha in your corner to get things done the right way, the first time!
Having her at the venue the day of the wedding allowed me to just relax while getting ready and enjoy the day with my bridesmaids, while she took care of literally EVERYTHING: Decor setup, minor hiccups (which there weren’t any besides one that I was made aware of, all thanks to Samantha’s premeditations), vendor coordination, etc. This girl also literally sat on the floor at my feet to hide behind the head table just to sew my broken bustle (which I had no idea whatsoever) back in place following the first dance and while salads were served at the reception! 😂 Seriously, what would I have done without her?!
My wedding day was seriously PERFECT and it was with great thanks to Samantha’s amazing work and day-of execution!
And don’t let Samantha’s “get it done” attitude and skilled determination scare you! Samantha isn’t just another one of those strictly business vendors that consider you as just a client; Samantha’s bubbly and personable demeanor makes you feel more like you’re just planning your dream wedding with one of your life-long girlfriends!
BRIDES! Would you rather be running around and stressing to the max to finish up last minute details the day of your wedding or sipping on mimosas, relaxing with your bridesmaids while being pampered in preparation to marry the love of your life? Do yourself a favor and hire Samantha Joy Events to help put your mind at ease so you can enjoy your wedding planning process every step of the way! Let SJE handle all of the “dirty work” while you create memories that will last a lifetime! ❤️

We are very happy with our choice to work with Samantha as our wedding coordinator. Our wedding was held at Canyon Run Ranch in Pleasant Hill, Ohio, however we were living in Chicago. Luckily, Samantha travels to Chicago often so we were able to have in person meetings which are so much better than just phone calls!

Samantha is extremely organized (hooray for one email thread) and made sure to ask questions and bring things to our attention that we had never considered. Planning a wedding can be tiring and you can get "decision fatigue." Samantha made sure to keep our timeline on track when we would have preferred to procrastinate. On the actual day we received multiple comments from the wedding party and guests at how helpful she is and how hard she was working to make sure our day went smoothly.
There was one miscommunication with the caterers. We were under the impression that they would be staying to clean up, but they ended up leaving earlier than expected. Samantha jumped in and made sure those unexpected loose ends were tied up before we left. Aside from being organized and timely, she also helped pull together our vague design idea for the wedding. From a calligraphy welcome sign to a beautiful escort card display to our modified guest book, she really pulled the whole thing together wonderfully. We would definitely recommend anyone to work with Samantha and we will miss working with her ourselves!

I hired Sam for Partial Planning to help with my Boho/Industrial wedding at The Steam Plant in Dayton, Ohio. From the start, her expertise showed itself through the many vendors and contacts she has. A month before my wedding, I had a change of heart on the decor and she handled everything! We met, talked about what I wanted and she made the changes stress-free. She created a new budget, called vendors and made my dream wedding happen all in such a short time period. She goes the extra mile every step of the way even down to making sure you have a glass of your favorite wine waiting for you after the ceremony. She carves out time so you have special moments alone with your new spouse that you wouldn’t think to do for yourself. From styling & decor to organization & details, Sam does it all beautifully. Without hesitation, I recommend Samantha Joy Events to anyone.

Samantha is AMAZING. She is organized and able to pull off small celebrations, as well as large events. She is creative and will help you along in the planning process, ensuring your day feels like the best version of you. (And that it's beautiful, too!) Each time I work with her, I am thrilled because I know 1) the event will be gorgeous and 2) that the day will run smoothly. I'd have her at every wedding if I could!
