A Complete Joy Working with Donna of Creative Joy Events!
My husband, Logan, and I got married in October 2021. One of the best decisions that we made was to hire Donna Radford of Creative Joy Events as our wedding coordinator. From the beginning, Donna was a positive guiding presence as we navigated planning a wedding during a pandemic. We soon began to look forward to our regular check-ins with Donna, knowing that she would patiently listen to all our concerns, answer our questions, and provide us with wonderful advice. Due to her warm and positive personality, working with Donna felt like planning an event with a close friend.
Donna also planned the florals and décor for our wedding. During planning sessions, she got to know our style and helped to establish a budget. A few weeks later she sent a design proposal of how each space would look and included a detailed spreadsheet outlining the cost of the various items. Not only were we pleasantly surprised that she came in under budget, but we were also very impressed that she perfectly captured our vision for our decorations. Truly, we didn’t change a thing. During dinner at the reception, I looked out at all our guests, turned to my husband, and said, “This is perfect. This is exactly what I had hoped everything would look like.”
Our wedding was unique in that we had three different venues – one each for the ceremony, dinner, and dancing. Planning décor for three spaces and wrangling guests from one space to the next required a great deal of planning and organization. With Donna’s expertise, the wedding seamlessly flowed from one venue to the next. The greatest gift that Donna gave us was the ability for my husband and I (two very Type-A people) to not have to worry about any of the logistics. We completely trusted Donna and her team to execute all the plans which allowed us to be fully present to enjoy our special day.
Creative Joy is the perfect name for this company. Not only was our wedding a joyful occasion but working with and getting to know Donna was an absolute joy. Planning a wedding can be overwhelming but knowing that we had a wedding coordinator on our team who was organized, thoughtful, kind, and professional made the process fun and less stressful.
If you’re planning a wedding or event in the near future, I can’t encourage you enough to work with Donna Radford of Creative Joy Events.

Fantastic! Exceptional!
Donna and her Husband were great to work with. We had to reschedule our wedding just two weeks prior to the event. Donna stuck with us for two years until we could reschedule. She was a saint. We had so many questions and she answered everyone. Fast response everytime. We could not be happier with everything she did for us.Donna and her Husband were great to work with.

Best Planner Ever!!!
Donna was so amazing and created the most beautiful bridal shower for my daughter. I wanted to enjoy the shower and not worry about all the details of organizing an event. Donna did not miss a single detail from the invitations, decorations, food, games & photography. I knew Donna would do a great job but she truly wowed me! Everyone was in awe of how beautiful the venue was decorated and how great the food was. Thank you, Donna!!Donna was so amazing and created the most beautiful bridal shower for my daughter.

The Best Ever
I would highly recommend Donna and her team for any of your events. If you want a smooth stress free experience she is the one. Monthly payments were a breeze and flexible. I believe the mark of a truly good planner is to keep you calm and bug everyone else and that's exactly what I got. If you aren't physically in her area, that's no problem. We didn't meet in person until the day before our wedding but we'd been planning for a year. By the time we met face to face she was already family! All in all the greatest!I would highly recommend Donna and her team for any of your events. If you want a smooth stress free experience she is the one. Monthly payments were a breeze and flexible.

Donna is literally Wonder Woman!
When I grow up, I want to be Donna! I wish I could give a million stars... Talk about a fierce boss lady who has the whole package! From day one, I had confidence and trust in Donna and her team to help me with my wedding. I hired her as a Day-Of-Coordinator, but honestly I wish I had booked her for the entire planning phase. For a DOC, she was attentive every month, sending emails and getting updates. She was in the loop the entire time and especially for the last 30 days as we set up logistics and schedules. She found several discrepancies that no one else (not even myself) had seen, and she handled everything like a boss. Not only that, but I had issues with my venue and Donna was there the entire time helping me focus on the positive and she helped bring immense joy and peace during the day of the wedding. I honestly don't know what I would have done without her. If she is available for your weekend, please book her - you won't regret it. She's the best there is, and I couldn't have wished for a better coordinator. Thank you for everything, Donna!When I grow up, I want to be Donna! I wish I could give a million stars...

Absolutely Amazing! - The Perfect Wedding Planning Team
(Groom speaking…) CJES is the perfect planner that will take care of anything for you, all you have to do is ask. They took care of any and all things, from our wedding website to putting together lists of vendors for us to choose from, and handling all contracts and communications with the vendors.
We began working with Donna, Brandon and Meredith with CJES in late 2019. With the onset of the pandemic we decided to push our wedding from September 12, 2020 to June 12, 2021 and CJES was fully supportive. They didn’t ask for more than the original quoted price and assured us they would be there for us through the whole process, no matter how long it took or what hoops we had to jump through to reschedule with our vendors. Once we initially met with them, showed them our venue and vision, they put together a perfect design that incorporated everything we wanted. Donna went to bat for us at all hours throughout our planning process. There were times when the stylist didn’t show or our signs were damaged and there wasn’t time to order a new one, one call to CJES and our worries were over, they took care of everything. They’re extremely organized and kept us on track, even with the rescheduling with multiple vendors. One of the best things is that Donna has an amazing command presence and is able to keep everyone in order and on track. From the rehearsal dinner and dealing with unruly groomsman, to the ceremony and throughout the reception she ensured everything was covered and went flawlessly. In the event throughout the night we (bride and groom) had a request, we knew we could go to Donna and she would make it happen. She has people for everything you need and is fully committed to ensuring you have the wedding of your dreams in the way you envisioned it. Beyond simply being our wedding planner, we felt as though we were truly sharing one of our most cherished moments with new friends that had our every interest in mind. We have zero complaints and recommend you to consider no one other than CJES for your wedding planning. Our only complaint is that we have nothing more on the horizon to plan and will miss our scheduled phone calls.
(Bride Here) - If you are on the fence about whether or not you think you need a wedding planner or even just a day of coordinator, hiring CJES will be the best decision you've ever made. They took all the stress out of the wedding planning, so my fiance any I were able to enjoy the process. I call CJES our "lifesavers" because that's exactly what they do.(Groom speaking…) CJES is the perfect planner that will take care of anything for you, all you have to do is ask.

Run to this woman
We chose Donna as our day-of coordinator and it was the best decision we made throughout the entire planning process. She emailed me every month with guidance and we had a meeting about three weeks before the wedding. On the day of the wedding, she took care of absolutely everything. Mom and I were free to enjoy the day. I still think about how lucky we were to have her.We chose Donna as our day-of coordinator and it was the best decision we made throughout the entire planning process.

Why worry and stress? Hire CJES!
Can I give any higher compliment to Creative Joy Event Solutions than by saying my wedding day flowed flawlessly, I was totally stress free, and I hardly knew CJES was busily working in the background?

If you've read this far into the review...stop now and reach out to Donna! Trust the words of a groom who now has a very happy wife.Can I give any higher compliment to Creative Joy Event Solutions than by saying my wedding day flowed flawlessly, I was totally stress free, and I hardly knew CJES was busily working in the background?

CJES is Amazing!
When we first started planning a wedding, we were on the fence about a wedding planner. Being new to wedding planning, we kept asking ourselves, “should we get one?” and “do we need one?”. We asked ourselves these questions over & over, and then we met Donna. There are NOT enough good words to describe Donna but I will start with what we think describes her best and that is genuine. When I first started reaching out planners, Donna was the first I talked to and the last – the moment I talked to her we knew instantly that this girl and company would make our dream become a reality and she did. Donna truly cares about you and your day just as much as you do. It was evident when planning for our special day and evident the day of. She came in ready to go and held our hand throughout the entire process – I was definitely freaking out a few times (and that’s an understatement!) and every single time she was there cheering me on, supporting me, getting me whatever I needed, etc. During our rehearsal dinner, Donna stood in front of our families and bridal party and said “Starting right now, Ania & Christian know nothing, and I know EVERYTHING!” I didn’t that we could love her more until she said that. It was SO evident how much she wanted us to enjoy our day and how stress and carefree she truly wanted to make it. It was SO evident that our family and friends noticed it too. Before Donna left for the night, my dad went up to her as well and thanked her. He told us that night “She really cares about you I saw it all night” and we knew that too ☺ The whole day and night when smooth and I owe it to Donna. A wedding is scary, nerve wrecking, and stressful. With Donna, all of that is gone. We are truly sad that our wedding is over because that means we won’t be talking to Donna as much although I am positive we will remain friends as she was just too important to us for us to let her go! For all the brides and grooms out there, your wedding is your one special day where everything is about you and there should not be ONE thing getting in your way – Donna will ensure that happens.

Ania! You and Christian are incredible and I am thrilled I was able to be a part of your wedding. It was an absolute honor and I’m so glad I could serve you guys. Those feelings of support and relief are exactly why I do this job. Thank you for your kind words and feedback. -

CJES has everything under control
We hired Creative Joy Event Solutions as our "Day-Of" Coordinator for our June 2019 wedding. Donna and Tess were the single most important vendors on our wedding day. We met with Donna a few weeks in advance and she contacted and organized all of our vendors from there. Her monthly email check-ins kept me on track throughout the planning process. She ran the show at our rehearsal dinner and she made it so I didn't have to think or worry about a thing on our big day. I didn't even worry about what time it was or where to be because I knew Donna had everything under control. She took all of my crazy ideas and offhand comments, remembered everything, and made it all reality. Everything from cue-ing the processional to gathering family members for photos; from setting up our outdoor ceremony to grabbing my deodorant mid-dinner; from handing out vendor payments to managing family dynamics; from tearing down the reception to just being a great friend and helper. Donna (and Tess) were absolutely the glue that held our wedding day together and kept me from stressing about a single detail. If you are on the fence about hiring a coordinator - do it! And definitely hire Creative Joy Event Solutions!We hired Creative Joy Event Solutions as our "Day-Of" Coordinator for our June 2019 wedding.

Her monthly email check-ins kept me on track throughout the planning process. She ran the show at our rehearsal dinner and she made it so I didn't have to think or worry about a thing on our big day. I didn't even worry about what time it was or where to be because I knew Donna had everything under control. She took all of my crazy ideas and offhand comments, remembered everything, and made it all reality. Everything from cue-ing the processional to gathering family members for photos; from setting up our outdoor ceremony to grabbing my deodorant mid-dinner; from handing out vendor payments to managing family dynamics; from tearing down the reception to just being a great friend and helper. Donna (and Tess) were absolutely the glue that held our wedding day together and kept me from stressing about a single detail. If you are on the fence about hiring a coordinator - do it! And definitely hire Creative Joy Event Solutions!Creative Joy Event Solutions's reply:

Amazing Value
I don’t think there are actual words to describe how delightful it was to work with Donna at Creative Joy Events. We chose to go with her full service offering, and it was honestly the best thing to happen to our June 2019 wedding. Throughout the process Donna listened to what we wanted as a couple and helped make our visions come to life! She never hesitated to go above and beyond to make sure our day was exactly how we wanted it. Whether that meant fielding the million questions/texts I was sending her way (it was seriously a lot), or handling any curve ball in the planning process like a pro – she was there and ready to make things go smoothly (which she did, every time). On the day of the wedding, I was not stressed AT ALL because I knew Donna & Brandon had everything covered from the décor to keeping us all on schedule. Everything came out beautifully and it was all because of CJES. So thank you Donna, for making our wedding vision come to life and for taking something traditionally stressful and turning into something wonderful – you are a ROCK STAR. I HIGHLY recommend going with Donna and the CJES team for your wedding, you definitely won’t regret it (especially for her extremely reasonable & fair pricing).I don’t think there are actual words to describe how delightful it was to work with Donna at Creative Joy Events.

Creative and supportive wedding planner
It was great to work with Donna of Creative Joy Event Solutions! My husband and I wanted to throw a reception 6 months after a courthouse ceremony. Donna was open minded to all of my ideas and helped me keep that vision going with her great suggestions and feedback. Creative Joy Events helped us track down and work with vendors, which was critical as we're from out of state.
Lastly, her day-of coordination services were excellent. She was calm and collected and helped me feel the same way. She was easily able to apply my vision to decor/decisions that I wasn't able to be around to make, so that when I came down to the venue it was 100% on theme and beautiful.It was great to work with Donna of Creative Joy Event Solutions!

Loved working with CJES
Donna from CJES is a pleasure to work with! There were many things I was unsure about during the entire wedding process, but she was able to answer all my questions and concerns, and was extremely helpful throughout the entire wedding weekend. Donna and Brandon did such a wonderful job making sure the wedding went smoothly, took care of all my needs during the day, and helped me clean up all the decor at the end of the day! I had many compliments on how flawless the wedding went and I've got to say, if you want a team that delivers, Donna is your lady. She is by your side until everything is taken care of. I am so happy to have Donna and CJES there for me. Thank you!Donna from CJES is a pleasure to work with!

Donna was a godsend!
Donna was a total Godsend for our wedding. She was worth every penny. Donna took the time to know the vision of our wedding, how we wanted things to look and feel, and what was most important to my husband and I in each stage of our day. Donna was organized, professional, positive and fun. She coordinated with all of the vendors, made sure things were in place, and when they were not, quickly came up with a solution behind the scenes to fix it. I thought that I was on top of everything before the wedding but I can tell you - I was not - and the last thing I wanted to do while I was getting my hair and makeup done was put together place card holders, confirm vendors are where they are supposed to be, order food for our limo bus, get parking passes to people who forgot theirs, etc. Donna did a great job of being proactive and keeping the overall wedding and reception on track while also putting out the million little fires that cropped up as well. I highly recommend working with Donna!!Donna was a total Godsend for our wedding. She was worth every penny.
