About

Sixpence Events helps eco-conscious couples plan Minnesota weddings that are authentic and fuss-free. If you want to enjoy your engagement while planning an elevated experience for your nearest and dearest, hiring Sixpence is your first step.

What I do for you:

  • Vendor recommendations + management (including day-of coordination)
  • Design and decor assistance
  • Budget planning + tracking
  • Timeline + logistics planning
  • Rehearsal coordination
  • Weekend events planning
  • RSVP + guest management
  • Full day-of wedding management

Sixpence couples are usually:

  • Driven, busy professionals who don't have time for the part-time job of wedding planning
  • The kind of people who want to be involved but appreciate having decisions simplified
  • Travelers or non-residents who value virtual, efficient meetings that leave them feeling confident

How Sixpence is different:

My personal values (veganism, minimalism, empathy, conscious competence) shape the way I run my business. I’m West Coast raised, East Coast influenced, and a Minnesotan by endurance.

Translation: I’m invested like a friend, honest like a teammate, and calm even when the unexpected happens.

I’ll cheerfully guide you through planning, advocate for your vision, manage family dynamics with compassion, and help you savor your engagement.

Why inquire:

  • Because you want a planning partner who is as invested as you are
  • Because you want the same stress-free experience my couples rave about on Google and The Knot
  • Because you deserve to enjoy the most meaningful (and yes, most expensive) party you've ever hosted
  • Black-owned
  • Woman-owned

Hire Josey!

Josey is warm, funny, and a joy to work with, and she was an absolutely essential part of our wedding day--we couldn't have pulled it off without her. From building an incredibly detailed timeline and reconfirming details with other vendors, to last-minute floral arranging and making sure I had my bouquet to walk down the aisle (plus one GAZILLION other things!), Josey was on top of it all and made the whole day feel seamless. Having Josey on our team allowed us to truly enjoy our wedding day--we had the space to savor the small moments because we knew she had everything covered. We love you, Josey!

Our day would not have been possible without Sixpence Events

We knew Josey was the one when we received her response to our questionnaire. RJ had described our friendship like “mushrooms” - a risky move, not everyone likes mushrooms - and Josey was immediately excited to work with us and get to know us.

What we really appreciated about working with Josey is that she helped us plan our wedding on our own terms. She gave us a ton of tools and advice and feedback, but ultimately did not pressure us on anything. Instead, she helped us make decisions by listening to our ideas and writing them down as if they had been decided - which was perfect for us because we would have agonized over decisions right up until the last minute. Also, our time with her was so enjoyable because of her incredible laid back attitude and her comfort with the distraction and tangents we often brought into our conversations, because we could talk to her about so many topics beyond our wedding.

Josey single handedly changed Hannah’s mind about day-of coordinators. Our wedding would not have been possible, let alone as beautiful and fun and joyful as it was, without her guidance and support. She kept us grounded through the process, and we always left our meetings with her feeling calm and ready for the next steps. On the day-of, she managed everything - schedule, family, details - perfectly, keeping us out of the weeds to enjoy our day.

Absolutely wonderful

Having Josie put together the timeline was absolutely amazing. I had never been a part of a wedding before so I had no idea what to expect. Knowing that she has done this probably over 100 times, really made me feel comfortable that we did the right thing in having a wedding planner.

Thank you so much for all your help. I literally don't know what we would have done without you! You made the day easy, fun, and totally worth all the planning.

The best detail we didn't know we needed

The short and sweet of it is that having Josey was the best thing we didn’t know we needed. Leading up to the wedding the communication was efficient, helpful, and conscious of not being over-bearing. She seemed dedicated to making the week of the wedding as painless as possible, and received our chaotic questions with grace.

And then the day came. To be honest, we don’t remember many of the logistics, but we think that says a lot. From clutch chalkboard calligraphy to constantly reminding the groom to hydrate & take off his wool jacket so he didn’t pass out in the heat, Josey was with us when we needed it and in the background when we didn’t.

To all of those hesitant couples—whether it is because you feel confident in your ability to DIY or because you just don’t know if it’s worth it—we've been there. But now we can say that if you’re looking to remember the people, the emotions, the laughter instead of who is doing what when; if you are afraid your family or friends might have a few too many to-do’s: look no further than Josey.

Josey makes your wedding sparkle!

Don’t bother looking any further. I mean do, because research is good, but seriously, you basically found the one. No, not that “ the one,” but Josey will definitely make your wedding day special. We felt pretty independent when it came to planning, not even sure we needed a day-of coordinator, only taking a meeting with Josey when my mom passive aggressively filled out a “contact us” card for us. We were blown away at that first meeting with how joyous and excited Josey was to be a part of weddings, and we hired her on the spot. No regrets at all, because over the intervening (just shy of a) year, Josey helped us vision our event and even served as a referee when our visions did not match. As a testament to just how committed Josey is, she even set up a livestream recording of our ceremony for a friend who was abroad. She did that all without us even knowing, she’s that good, and it was the best surprise on an already awesome day. We were really nervous going into the wedding because a lot of wedding vendors either intentionally or accidentally don’t do a great job of representing same-sex couples in their portfolios of past work, which meant we were very discerning about who we chose to work with. Josey couldn’t have made these big old gay boys feel more like our wedding was somehow totally normal, and yet so special and individualized. Whoever you are, Josey will make your wedding day sparkle (even more than my shoes).

Josey is the BEST EVER!!! I knew we had to work with her from our first meeting! She is so fun and perky and you will be instant friends. Trust me. She really does it all and has your back the whole entire planning process, even if you only need a day-of coordinator. The planning tools she uses are great and it's really easy to use to track your planning progress. She will make sure you are taken care of! We met several times during the planning progress and on the day of she ran the whole show like the pro she is. Did I also mention she is just full of knowledge and information about all things wedding? The woman has a podcast!!! And a blog too! She covers all the essential topics in wedding planning is so fun to listen to! She is the best :)

"Josey was our day of coordinator for our wedding and I could not imagine planning our wedding without her. She made our day perfect and we did not worry about a thing. She is kind, humorous and on top of her game."

I'm not exaggerating when I say that our wedding day was the most relaxing, care-free day we could have imagined, all thanks to Josie. Josie was the greatest and my friends and family all commented on how amazing she was! She was there for us before the wedding, getting us organized AF with resources she provided for us. She made sure we had all of our essentials organized, and that everything important to us was especially cared for. We had absolutely nothing to worry about on our wedding day. She was there to make sure everything was set up correctly, and everyone was where they needed to be for the ceremony. During the reception she was invaluable and made sure everything ran smoothly, and then she was there to organize everything we needed to take home. I can't recommend her highly enough!

Josey is an absolute joy to work with. Being a wedding planner, myself, it was so nice having her there to help with the final stages of planning. She hopped on board as a day-of coordinator a few months prior to our wedding, but she went above and beyond the simple tasks of getting us through the day. From double checking our invoices, to giving us advice on what to expect (and not expect) she was brilliant and thorough. I felt like we had been long-time friends, as she was so easy to talk to and work with, thoughtful, kind and understanding. Her attention to detail - and boy did we have a lot of details - and setting things up from ceremony to cocktail hour to the reception and even a first dance balloon drop was PERFECT. Our wedding day was flawless and went so smoothly; we could not have done it without Josey.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
