We are so pleased with Barbra!!
Planning a wedding can be extremely overwhelming. When we hired Barbra, it became a breeze. She found all our vendors, got us the best prices, and set up everything for us. All we had to do was sign! It was a dream to have someone with as much experience as Barbra.
The day of the wedding, her and her team were on the go and everything flowed so easily.
She surely did out do herself and over exceeded our expectations.
Thank you so much, Barbra. I will always remember our special day with you included!Joined by Love Wedding Planning's reply:

I can't recommend Barbara and her crew highly enough! From the moment we hired her I knew I wasnt' going to have anything to worry about. She took charge and kept us on track. The vendors that she recommended were all top notch and did an amazing job. She was always available throughout the planning process for phone or zoom calls and was never hesitant to answer questions and steer us in the right direction. On the day of the wedding, she and her crew took care of every single detail. I was able to enjoy the day with my daughter and savor every moment. Thank you Barbara for helping us create so many beautiful memories!Joined by Love Wedding Planning's reply:

Barbara and Patience are the reason why my daughter's wedding day went off without a hitch. Barbara had all of the vendors organized and had a timeline that made for a very stressfree day. Her guidance and expertise of vendors made for easy decisions for the bride and groom. Barbara was easy to work with, answered all of my questions, and the end result was a memorable day. The entire wedding party was able to enjoy the wedding day without having to worry about a thing, other than having a great time. Barbara and Patience.....thank you very much!!Joined by Love Wedding Planning's reply:

Although we did not get to use all of the services provided by Barbara, she was fair and honest and that goes a long way with trust when considering a vendor for your wedding. She was very responsive and did her best to help us. I would highly recommend her services if you’re looking for someone who has great follow up and is fair throughout the process.Joined by Love Wedding Planning's reply:

Barbara is professional and very knowledgeable with wedding planning. I chose her for her expertise and years of experience. The service I chose was the coordination package for $1,800, and I liked the support 6 months out. We had meetings monthly via Zoom. Barbara is communicative and honest with reception, design, and ceremony recommendations. -

Barbara was our first vendor we hired and I am so thankful we did because I was not the type of person to enjoy the planning process. I really appreciate that Barbara has good connections to vendors who offer high quality services. She was there to guide us through the selection process and choose the best vendors for us. This made me feel so relieved and I enjoyed planning! Our vendor team turned out to be amazing! Barbara was there with us every step of the way to answer questions and guide us through the complexities of planning.
Barbara is dependable and organized. She saved us so much energy and headaches by coordinating with vendors, scheduling, providing suggestions on services to use, and organizing the moving pieces of the event .She consistently communicated with us whether it was a phone call, zoom call, email or in person which made me feel taken care of and kept me sane. If I had any questions at all she would be sure to answer them gladly( I had many questions regarding decisions: colors of florals, linens, table set up, you name it). She went above and beyond!
Barbara and Patience were there on our wedding day and they handled absolutely everything from decoration setup to vendor coordination (to even making sure we had a to-go plate for the day after our wedding) so that we did not have to think or worry while we were getting ready. Our families and wedding party got to have fun and enjoy the day.
I cannot thank Barbara enough for making our wedding planning experience and our wedding day easy and fun! She gladly reassured me when I was worried and helped me focus on the important tasks. She fostered a space where my spouse and I had fun and bonded while planning opposed to planning being a stressor for us. Barbara has an innate ability to read people and situations very well. This characteristic is something that cannot be taught so to have this in a wedding planner was priceless. Barbara`s attention to detail, organization, communication, proactivity, commitment are unmatched. Barbara is extremely personable, reliable, and really advocates for her clients. She takes the time to understand what is meaningful to us on our big day.
We seriously could not have done it without Barbara and her team Joined By Love truly who ensures their clients are taken care of and executes their job professionally and passionately! I would highly recommend anyone planning a wedding to use Joined By Love Wedding Planning, Barbara is incredible! Joined By Love was truly worth the investment!

Jennifer Sent on 05/07/2023Wedding Planner Extraordinaire
From the moment I hired Barbara in mid-November for my April 2023 wedding, I knew that I was in the best possible hands. I had attempted to start planning my wedding in July 2022, but quickly realized that there was far too much for me to handle on my own. Barbara came to my rescue and I can confidently say that her services are worth EVERY penny.
One of the things I appreciated most about Barbara is that she has good connections with many reliable vendors, giving me a vetted list of high-quality services within my budget. Initially overwhelmed by the abundance of vendor options available online, I was relieved to have Barbara’s expertise to guide me through the selection process. Her experience working alongside various vendors made it easy for her to provide us with the best options to choose from.
Barbara's talent for keeping the peace during wedding planning was genuinely remarkable. She effortlessly took charge of dealing with relatives who had last-minute demands for menu changes and attempts to override decisions we had already made. Her sweet but firm approach made it clear that it was our wedding and any changes must be approved by us first. She helped me feel secure and unworried about being pressured.
Barbara's organizational skills are truly impressive. She reached out to vendors for price quotes, helped me keep track of the payment schedule and read over contracts. She regularly communicated with the vendors, ensuring that they were ready; she created a day-of timeline for everyone involved to guarantee that everything runs smoothly. Her ability to look at the venue and visualize all of the various components together (including floral displays, table linens, decorations, placement of tables, DJ, photo booth, cake, etc.) was extremely helpful.
She is available 99% of the time and provides regular email communication, phone calls, Zoom calls, and even in-person meetings. She provides bi-weekly and weekly meetings to touch base (and to keep your sanity intact). If I had any questions at all, she had the answers and was always happy to fill me in.
Barbara’s thoughtfulness and consideration for our wedding were out of this world! She made me feel like I was her only client, providing an impressive amount of time and energy to ensure our wedding was perfect. She was planning and coordinating six other weddings at the same time, but I never would have guessed it!
I cannot thank Barbara enough for making my wedding planning experience and special day a breeze. She eased my anxieties and helped me focus on the important tasks. Her dedication, attention to detail, and organizational skills are unparalleled. She delivers 110% on every service she offers. I highly recommend Barbara and Joined By Love Wedding Planning to anyone in need of a wedding planner. She is absolutely worth her weight in gold, and was truly my saving grace for the last six months; I am forever grateful for her services.

Victoria Sent on 04/03/2023Wedding planner
I have nothing but praise and appreciation for Barbara and her company Joined by Love. We booked Barbara for Month of Coordination and she began communicating with us and doing check ins far in advance from that. She would schedule time for us to hop on calls, answer any and all of our questions, updated us with the vendors and tasks she was working on, and overall remained very productive with our time together. She was always available to answer my questions and was very honest with us about her previous experience working at our venue. Despite previous challenges, she stepped up to the plate and discussed how she would approach our wedding to be as prepared as possible. She set reasonable expectations with us and went above and beyond on her services. She was so timely with everything and was very detail oriented when it came to all of our contracts, day of timeline, and communication with our vendors. Barbara and Maca serviced us on our wedding day, showed up early, and worked their hardest ALL DAY. The amount of work they both put into making our day the best for us is something we cannot thank her enough for. Even with working with a difficult venue coordinator and our officiant not showing up, she remained the utmost professional and problem solved so quickly. I had no clue any of these stressors or problems were happening and Barbara and her team are who I owe for navigating these and allowing me and my husband to enjoy a stress free day. Hiring a wedding planner is a vendor I would highly encourage to help your wedding day run smoothly, and Barbara with Joined by Love is a MUST. I am recommending her to all my friends and family members who would be getting married locally because she is dependable, trustworthy, and the hardest worker.Joined by Love Wedding Planning's reply:
Victoria and Rob, I don't know how to respond. Thank you both so much for taking the time to detail your experience with us! It really helps other couples looking for the details and commitment that we like to give our couples. You and Rob were great to work with and Macarena and I enjoyed every minute of being a part of your big day! -

I honestly do not have enough words to express how much we love and appreciate Barbara! We started working with her in February 2021 until our wedding in November 2022. She was beyond helpful when it came to making sure we were on track with the planning process and recommending vendors when we needed help. Each and every vendor that she recommended was top notch and we were so grateful to have her input. She was caring and encouraging during the planning process but also realistic and budget conscious. Overall we wouldn't have had the amazing day we did without her! We highly recommend her for all your planning needs! Thank you Barbara! -

Barbara was absolutely amazing. She handled everything with grace and ease. I was able to keep calm all day and not worry about minor details that usually go wrong the day of.

Barbara made it happen and made my day even better than I could have imagined!Joined by Love Wedding Planning's reply:

Christina Sent on 10/23/2022It was a magical day!
Barbara, of Joined By Love Wedding Planning, was absolutely AMAZING! She was very prompt to respond to my request for more information for our daughter's wedding. As a matter of fact, she was the first... on the very day I sent the request! She offered me a plethora of knowledge/useful information over the phone, long before we met in person to see if we were a fit for one another! I loved her straightforward personality, and the fact that she was a true expert in her chosen field ~ which made it very easy to decide to hire her! If you are looking for someone who can help you plan your special day, from start to finish, and keep you on track, look no further! Or do! I think you will be pleasantly surprised at her professionalism and the attention she will give you in answering all your questions, being available when you call and making sure that your day is the best day of your life... that you will decide right away that SHE's YOUR GIRL! She definitely makes you feel special! You don't know, what you don't know... and Barbara has planned so many weddings, she will think of things to ask you that you may never have thought of! And for that, I am very grateful!
The venue couldn't have been set up more beautifully! It was like a fairy-tale come true! Thank you again, Barbara, for all you did to make our daughter and new son-in-law's wedding day magical!! We couldn't have done it without you!

I cannot explain how amazing Barbara was as our wedding planner. From the very first meeting, she understood our vision and carried that vision out until the wedding day. More importantly, she genuinely cares about her clients and makes sure they are getting absolutely everything that their heart desires, while also bringing in sound logic and with her years of experience. You'd be a fool not to hire her for your special day. -

Lilie Sent on 03/06/2022Worth their weight in gold
Barbara and Macarena are worth their weight in gold! Their help in planning and running our wedding was invaluable. Their recommendations, networking, and wedding industry knowledge saved us so much time, effort, and money; we already had some vendors picked out when we contacted them, and their alternate referrals saved us more than we paid for their services. Knowledge and experience in this industry is everything, and these folks know their stuff.
We felt that Barbara and Macarena really cared about our wedding as much as we did. It was obvious their first interest was to make sure everything was perfect for our big day, and their commitment and professionalism spoke to that. Barbara, even though she wasn't the main planner day-of, even stopped by on her off time to see how things were going. That's dedication.
Their communication is top-notch. We never had to chase them down, they were always proactive in setting up calls and meetings. They stayed on top of every vendor, and were instrumental in the day-of coordination. Without Macarena to wrangle everything at the rehearsal and the big day, our hair would have been grey by the end of the weekend. But thanks to her, all we had to worry about was repeating the vows correctly. Even now, after the event, they're following up with photographers to make sure we get our photos and handling any loose ends with vendors.
We can't recommend these folks highly enough. Let them do the heavy lifting, you enjoy your day. Joined By Love should be your first call for planning your wedding; thank us later.Joined by Love Wedding Planning's reply:
Thank you so much Lilie! It was a pleasure working with you and Drew. Your wedding was so much fun! You were very detailed and organized and made our job easy! I am so glad your day was everything you dreamed of! Thank you again! Best to your future together! -

Joined By Love Wedding Planning is incredible! Barbara and Tina were there on our wedding day and they handled absolutely everything from decoration setup to vendor coordination so that we did not have to think or worry about anything while we were getting ready. Barbara stuck with us for over a year when we had to postpone our wedding with short notice due to COVID-19. She went above and beyond to help us move all of our vendors, review all of our contracts, and offer advice and encouragement. Barbara really sticks up for her clients. We had a vision of how we wanted our wedding day to go and she made sure that this was communicated effectively and executed perfectly. We seriously could not have done it without her and her team!

Charity Sent on 04/19/2021Helpful and Professional!
Barbara and her team were so helpful in preparing for our wedding day! She had great knowledge of vendors and we were very happy with everyone she suggested. We needed someone we could trust as we were not in town to meet with multiple vendors. Barbara really went above and beyond to find me a great caterer and baker who would be gluten friendly. as I am Gluten Intolerant. This was a difficult task and she worked hard to make sure we found someone great!
I found her most helpful when it was time to make decisions. She helped me prioritize what to do next and kept me on a timeline to get everything accomplished.
On the wedding day she was efficient and made sure things ran smoothly. She was great at listening to my concerns and adapting as needed. Barbara and her team were there to help set up and take down which was extremely helpful. I highly recommend Joined by Love Wedding Planning to help you plan your big day! -
![Kevin]()
Kevin Sent on 11/08/2020Must have coordinator
Barbara is everything a bride and groom need on their special day. Our original coordinator cancelled on us due to COVID. So, I was on a hunt to find a coordinator and I found Barbara. From the moment I picked up the phone to the conversation we had, made me feel less stressed and I knew she would be the one to coordinate our wedding. Honestly, I’m happy our original coordinator cancelled on us, because I don’t think she would have done half the things Barbara was willing to do. I suggest if you’re on the verge of having a coordinator to go ahead and do so. My Wife and I had 99% of our vendors lined up already and Barbara was able to coordinate with everyone and made our lives so much easier. The line of communication between Barbara and the vendors were awesome and provided us with constant updates. On the day everything was perfect, at least to our knowledge, if anything went wrong Barbara and her team dealt with it. I would recommend her to all my friends and family moving forward. By far the best investment any couple needs to include in their wedding and will create a very stress-free environment. She is willing to deal with anything you throw at her and will not waste any time doing so. -

Barbara was so great to work with! Planning a wedding during Covid was so stressful and she seriously helped me keep my sanity! She did all the things you expect from a coordinator very professionally and efficiently, but what I loved about working with her is that through it all she always reminded us that the most important thing is that we are marrying the love of our life and will be spending the rest of our lives with our person. Made navigating all the hiccups so much better.Joined by Love Wedding Planning's reply:

Sam F. Sent on 05/27/2020Caring and Dedicated Wedding Coordination
I’ve hired Joined by Love for my wedding coordination and they have seriously gone so above and beyond! Barbara has spent time reviewing every single contract I have with vendors and contacting them all individually to ensure everything I need for my wedding day is fully and completely covered. She has also helped me find vendors and get pricing for the services that I still need to book - everything from food, hair, makeup, photography, flowers, and hotels! She is helping me organize and collect the decorations, centerpieces, music, and details to execute my dream wedding day vision! She keeps me organized and on track with all of the wedding planning we need to do so that I don't need to worry about that myself, and she is always willing to take on extra planning activities. When I am too busy at my job during business hours she takes on calling my vendors and prospective vendors to ask them the questions that I need answers to. Barbara is dependable, reliable, and an expert advice giver in the field! She is so easy to communicate with and coordinate with too which makes everything so smooth. Joined by Love has made my wedding SO EASY and I am SO HAPPY that I have them helping me!!! I seriously would not be able to do it without their awesome assistance! Additionally, after planning all of this with the help of Joined by Love, I had to reschedule my wedding due to the COVID pandemic. Barbara handled everything for me, which took a huge weight off of my plate. She contacted and rescheduled all of my vendors. She handled the difficult conversations and rearranged my payment plans for me. The biggest impact to me though was that she gave me encouragement and wisdom when I was feeling overwhelmed and upset by everything. Barbara truly cares for her brides and will be there for them. I am so thankful to have Joined by Love on my side during this time.Joined by Love Wedding Planning's reply:
Thank you Lindsey and Sam! Such kind words! Know that all of this has been my pleasure working with you two. The decision was hard, but you made the right one for you and the ones you love. I cannot wait to witness "Joined by Love" with you two on this Day Like no Other! -

I can not recommend Barbara with Adoughable Creations enough. We met Barbara for a tasting and she went us home with extra cake, (now that’s winning my heart!). Barbara was so easy to work with throughout the whole planning process.
