Jo & Taylor helped make our event so memorable and stress-free. We are so thankful and we had the best time on our special day. Thanks so much for all the support during the month leading up + going above and beyond. Cheers!

I used Jo and the Square Mile Events team for my October 22, 2022 wedding and could not have been happier with the five star service provided.

I opted for the month of planning package, and quite honestly, if I had found her earlier, I would have gone for the full planning package.

We had a very difficult venue that was basically non-responsive to phone calls and emails which caused a good amount of stress in the month before the wedding. Jo went above and beyond to get our tasting scheduled utilizing her local contacts, ensured everything we were promised was put into writing, and kept us on task with reminders, and check-ins leading up to the big day. The day of our wedding she was by our side the entire time, made sure we had a chance to have some time alone after the ceremony, that we had drinks in hand, and she managed one final crisis with the venue that resulted in us getting back some money because of a major error on their part.

I truly would not have been able to make it through the wedding day without Jo and the Square Mile team. Thank you all so much for taking the stress off of us for our big day and helping us make beautiful memories to last a lifetime. I can't recommend Square Mile Events enough!!

Jo was the best planner we could possibly hope for! She kept us sane and on track throughout the entire planning process and brought our wedding vision to life the day of.

She had modern planning tools (we loved her Trello board) and went above and beyond to help us find vendors that met our expectations. We had weekly check ins where we would discuss the week's tasks and she would always follow up promptly on any outstanding items. She was always patient and helped us manage our anxiety during the most stressful times.

On our wedding day, she handled everything and allowed us to be fully present and enjoy our day. We couldn't be happier with how our wedding turned out and we couldn't have done it without Jo!

The Square Mile Events team was amazing at every step of our wedding journey! A key differentiator when choosing a wedding planner for us was how experienced they were and the quality of service we’d get since our event was at a private residence and we needed partial planning and day of coordination. After meeting with many wedding planners, Jo stood out as someone who was professional, kind and knew what to do in any circumstance. She was extremely organized and provided helpful documents and input all along the way.

Just before our wedding date, we had to push it out due to COVID-19. She was extremely flexible and solution-oriented, helping us move our wedding out just a week, sourcing new vendors quickly and adjusting our plans to make guests feel safe & protected at our wedding. The team is extremely friendly, capable and joy to partner with for such a special time in our lives. Would highly recommend Jo and the Square Mile Events team!!

We worked with Joanna for day of coordination and partial wedding planning services throughout — and had a great experience every step of the way.

For Day-of coordination:
With almost the entire guest list traveling from out of town to get to our wedding, I knew we’d need the help of a wedding planner. I’ve been to so many weddings where members of the family or bridal party were responsible for a lot of the clean up (either at rehearsal dinner or after reception) -- making sure center pieces, gifts, display/decor items got home safely. Our goal was to make sure our families didn’t have to worry about anything other than getting back to their hotel at the end of the night. Joanna and her assistant Em took care of literally everything for us - and the entire reception ran smoothly from start to finish. It was a huge help to have her on site to answer questions both at the rehearsal and the reception, and to be the main point of contact for all the vendors since our ceremony and reception weren’t at the same venue.

For partial wedding planning:
Overall I’m a very organized person and I have experience planning some events for work, but even so I opted for partial wedding planning which ended up being a big help. Joanna was available to look over contracts + pricing and offer recommendations on vendors. She helped us find a last minute lighting vendor, recommended the limo service we ended up choosing and also had a hand in helping us find our DJ (her recommendation was booked, but he helped us find who we ultimately chose).

Also, we got married in January so a ton of wedding decisions and payments had to be made right around the holidays (Nov/Dec). Joanna kept us on track (and also kept some of our more unresponsive vendors on track) making our lives so much easier given the busy time of the year.

If you’re on the fence about whether or not to book a wedding planner, I’d say to do it. If you’re in the NY/NJ area and considering working with Joanna - I’d highly recommend choosing her to help with your big day.

Having spoken to friends that have gotten married before us and doing tons of research on my own, I knew we absolutely needed professional help if we wanted to pull off the wedding of our dreams. Joanna is a true expert and professional when it comes to planning and coordinating a wedding. From the first day we hired her, she gave us great advice and tools to keep us on track and recommended amazing vendors that executed our vision perfectly. She's an incredible listener, and an even better problem-solver. As part of the custom package she created for us, we had countless email exchanges and in-person meetings for over a year before our wedding, and she helped ease our fears and calm our nerves every step of the way.

To say that Joanna held my hand through every step of the planning process might be still be an understatement. Have a venue walkthrough but have no idea what to look for? She's there to ask all the right questions. Need some extra emotional support at your dress fitting appointment? She's there to take 53682 pics and be the best hypewoman. After the wedding, she and her lovely associate Em even packed up all the decor, gifts, and cake and delivered them to our hotel room while we continued our celebration with our friends and family. We did not have to worry about a single thing.

My now husband and I will forever we grateful to have Joanna as our planner, and I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone starting their own wedding planning journey!

Finding Joanna was like finding my Fairy Godmother! I was traveling out of state every week for work and didn't know how I was ever going to plan a wedding too! The tools that Joanna provided to ensure that not a single detail was overlooked and nothing was forgotten in the months leading up to our wedding was absolutely perfect. She was so incredibly easy to work with -- my meetings with her felt like catching up with a friend! She was the perfect buffer and go-to person for all of my last minute needs the week of the wedding and Joanna did such an incredible job on the day of my wedding making sure that everything ran smoothly and it all went off just as I wanted it to! It was so nice for my husband and I to not have to stress about a single thing because I knew that Square Mile Events had it all taken care of! I certainly wouldn't have enjoyed my wedding as much without Joanna there!

Hiring Joanna as our month-of coordinator was one of our best wedding planning decisions. Even though our venue had a coordinator, I knew I wanted to have an outside source to go to for my specific wedding vision, as well as someone to watch over the venue coordinator/employees and the wedding day logistics. Joanna went above and beyond our month-of package. She attended tastings with us, offered countless suggestions from transportation vendors to aisle runners, and made sure each vendor was where they needed to be promptly on wedding day. She was always responsive via email/text. Joanna's spreadsheets, timelines and checklists were essential as we got closer to the wedding day, making sure we didn't miss a thing. I especially valued the google calendar reminders for what was due to vendors and when. My husband and I wanted to enjoy ourselves at our wedding and have a great time dancing and mingling with our friends and family; Joanna allowed us to do exactly that without worrying about a thing. Our wedding day was nothing short of perfect, thanks to Joanna and Square Mile Events!

I don't even know how to put into words how amazing Joanna and the Square Mile Events team is. I hired her for partial planning services and she kept me organized and focused throughout the planning process -- but in a fun, completely low-key and non-judgmental way. She was the most amazing presence throughout the entire process as well as on the day of our wedding -- I felt that I had an incredible new friend, as well as the most organized person in the NYC area! Please hire her and the team. I cannot recommend them enough.

Joanna was a godsend. Even if your venue has a coordinator, you NEED her services. On your wedding day, do you want to be setting up decor, dealing with the inevitable hiccups and running down the street to pickup the forgotten decor item -- or do you want to be drinking champagne with your girls and celebrating with your husband? I am a type A, get it done kinda girl, but there is no level of bride that can execute her own wedding. We used Joanna for the month-of package (as I learned from her, there is no such thing as day-of coordinating really!) and I'm sure when my sister gets married we'll hire her for the whole planning period. As I sat down with my new husband and closest friends at our afterparty -- while Joanna and her team loaded all the decor items, wedding cake, bags, and more back into our house, leaving my family and friends free to celebrate with me -- I knew that hiring Joanna was the best decision we made in all our planning.
