Joni was my wedding planner for my 4/21/23 wedding and I only have good things to report. She is hands down one of the best. You can tell she cares about her brides and wants them happy. Joni is well-connected in the area and her reputation precedes her. She is kind, patient, and knows the business (venues, vendors, etc) inside and out. I was blown away by how beautiful my wedding turned out. She's got a fantastic team of planners and vendors and is super professional. Leading up to the day, she was always responsive and kind. Her assistant, Sonia, was extremely organized and prepared on our calls. Answered my many questions and followed-up with vendors as needed. She was fantastic on my actual wedding day- she ensured everything was taken care of, and her assistant for the day, Laura, was also wonderful (and very kind/patient). If there were any issues, I did not know about them or they were already handled. For your wedding (especially a semi-destination like mine), you want to have someone you trust who has the experience and professionalism, and Joni is your person. I still receive compliments to this day about how amazing the wedding was and how beautiful it was. Words cannot express my gratitude. Thank you to Joni and her team! Highly recommend.

I have nothing but glowing things to say about Your Special Day By Joni! We worked with Joni and Sonia for the six weeks before my wedding. They are so detail-oriented, incredibly responsive, and made sure that all of the vendors were on the same page about the timing and coordination of the wedding. On the night of the wedding, everything ran like clockwork. I truly wouldn't have been able to plan my wedding without them!

My wedding turned out absolutely perfect thanks to Joni,Sonia and Laura ! I can’t stress enough how much anxiety I had before deciding to hire them as my wedding planners / coordinators. Sonia constantly went above and beyond to answer all my questions and get my wedding together . My guests raved about the wedding being the best they have ever been to and extremely well thought out , this could not have been possible without Joni and her team ! All the vendors they recommended were reliable, through and extremely pleasant to work with ! I can’t thank them enough for making my day absolutely perfect ! This is definitely a wedding people will be talking about for years to come and would not have been made possible without the constant support from these amazing women ❤️

Over the 11 months after we booked our venue, we went through four different venue reps. Technically, our venue had not hired a rep at the time of our wedding, but you would not have even known because Joni's team was on top of every moment. Sonia was the lead for our month-of planning and day of, and I genuinely think the entire day would have fallen apart without her. She was on top of everything, and her organization and documentation were BEYOND impressive. The entire team was so professional and skilled!

Joni and her team are our guardian angels - simply second to none! Our wedding at Vizcaya in Miami was magical and went exactly according to plan. We were extremely demanding and detail oriented (e.g., my husband wanted all the salads to be on the tables in less 25 seconds and she got it done!). You know your team is the best when you get to enjoy the day and worry about NOTHING leading up to it.

Here's the difference when it comes to working with Joni:

1) Joni's years of experience and close relationships with vendors ensure that you get the best value and service. She has her trusted go-to people that never let her down because her word carries weight. When she works with anyone new, she is sure to vet them thoroughly. She attended our tasting with us to make sure the food was to our liking. She knew the items (e.g. table clothes and chairs) that were best to order from the caterer vs. event stylist. And when a vendor wasn't responsive, Joni took care of business.

2) Joni has seen it all and has a solve for anything that could potentially go wrong. The circuit blower in the hotel room went down a few times with so many hair blowers and curling irons going. Sonya and Laura knew who to call and made sure it was fixed in seconds. You can't do this without years of experience and familiarity with hotels, venues and vendors...relationships are everything!

3) She knows South Florida venues like the back of her hand. She cautioned us to get heel covers for women at Vizcaya so they wouldn't sink into the ground or wobble when they walked. She knew we needed a bathroom attendant and exactly what we could and could not do at this historic property.

4) She's courageous enough to tell you what you don't want to hear if it means perfection on your special day. For instance, we did NOT want a tent and if it rained, we would have been in trouble! Also, we were going to spend money in areas that wouldn't have contributed to the wow factor. She led us in the right direction.

5) Organization is key! Joni's team is buttoned up with their run of show and seating chart. They provides copies to all vendors and keep the wheels moving. I think she could have her own reality show!

We absolutely loved working with Joni. Despite her professionalism, we really felt that she cared about us as people and went the extra mile to ensure we were cared for.

Joni and her team helped me plan my dream wedding! Joni was there for us every step of the way and made planning our wedding fun, stress free and memorable. Joni has so many great relationships with the top wedding vendors. She was able to put us in touch with the best vendors who could execute our wedding vision. Joni understood my vision from the beginning, introduced me to the right vendors and made my wedding dreams come true! Her team was there for me every step of the way on my wedding day and made our day flawless. Joni and her team kept me calm day of, walked me through everything and made sure our day was perfect. I highly recommend anyone getting married to work with Your Special Day By Joni!

Joni was everything I needed in a planner and more. All my guests were wowed at her attention to every detail at the wedding. She was extremely patient and understanding throughout the planning process and recommendations on vendors were 100% on point. An elegant and beautiful woman. Thank you Joni.

Joni was invaluable in helping move a large wedding from 2020 to 2021. Her extensive knowledge and experience with our venue made the planning process seamless!!!!

If you are looking for a wedding planner, your search ends here. There are no words to describe the AMAZINGNESS that is Joni and her team. We were a COVID couple that had to cancel our wedding abroad and rebook a Miami destination wedding in three months and it was all a success because of Joni. From helping me select my venue, craft my vision, and choose our vendors - Joni and her team were there every step of the way. Her long standing relationships with many venues and vendors makes all the difference because she has a wealth of advice to provide. She always makes herself available to take any questions, help you think through ideas, and give you insight on what the best path forward is. She helped me plan the wedding of my dreams and I still cannot get over how perfect our day was! Her team that I worked with, Sonia and Laura, are equally as amazing and helped make sure every detail was in place and that our day ran smoothly. I cannot recommend them enough!! Joni is my Italian fairy godmother and I am so grateful for all of her help and that our paths crossed on my crazy wedding journey!

Joni did a fantastic job helping plan our at home wedding when we realized we were in completely over our heads. I didn't think I'd need a planner at first and then a month went by and I hadn't made a single decision because I felt overwhelmed. This was WELL worth the price, at at a much better rate than most others I looked at. Joni coordinated communications and meetings with the many different vendors we were dealing with, reviewed contracts, gave constant advice and suggestions, provided tons of vendor recommendations, kept the entire process on track, and was available at any time to talk me off a ledge! Her and Brigette were both amazing the day of the wedding as well and made everything happen so smoothly so I never had to lift a finger on my wedding day! I was really nervous once I realized how much more difficult it was to plan a wedding at home with 100 people (especially when I live in Chicago and the wedding was in Florida) but Joni and her team absolutely crushed it and relieved a TON of stress. I even texted her for opinions on some things instead of my friends and family and she was constantly available and happy to help (even when I was definitely being crazy). We absolutely could not have done it without her and our day turned out beautiful because of them!!
