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 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.
