Raleigh N. Sent on 06/23/2023Nancy is the best!
Nancy was a complete pleasure to work planning our wedding! When working with Nancy, she was able to discuss all of the nitty gritty details of our wedding weekend vision that she, and her team, helped us bring to life! We didn’t have to worry about a thing the entire weekend because we knew that Nancy was on it. Nancy was extremely helpful in setting up the wedding and coordinating with all of our vendors and venue. With so much experience under her belt, she was able to provide us with expertise guidance for planning, in addition to get us to think through things we would’ve never imagined for planning a wedding. Nancy was able to lay out options and new ideas to help enhance the wedding weekend activities that we had planned. Nancy was a great planner for our wedding!NJOY Event Planning's reply:
Dear Raleigh, Kevin & Family! Working with you to plan your wedding was an absolute joy, and I am gratified that you were so pleased with our services. Thank you for your kind words. Your wedding was picture perfect in every way, and you were blessed with the most magnificent Spring weather that Vermont could possibly offer. Kelsey Regan's photos tell a huge part of the story, and additionally I feel particularly grateful to be present for so many other behind the scene special moments of the weekend that will live in my memory for a long time.
Congratulations to a very special couple, and I extend my best wishes to you for an exciting married journey ahead of you.
Much Love, Nancy -

Vermont Garden Wedding
NJoy Weddings & Events produced our fabulous romantic garden themed wedding.
We valued Nancy's (principal designer and planner) expertise and advice throughout the planning process. Nancy's classic touches, like sheer flowing draperies, table linen advice, dance floor size and table shape/style recommendations all contributed to the feel we were looking for. Many of Nancy's suggestions helped eliminate the guess work that comes along with many choices in the wedding industry.
We were most impressed with the last few weeks of planning, as N Joy Weddings & Events pulled the years work of pre-planning all together in an perfectly executed timeline so that the wedding would flow smoothly based on our customizations.
We appreciate the VERY hard work of wedding weekend where N Joy Weddings and Events tackled last minute issues, and made sure all the elements involved were displayed and produced in what what many guests commented, "one of the best weddings they have ever been to."
We are forever thankful to the staff at NJoy Weddings & Events for producing such a beautiful wedding.

Julia T. Sent on 10/17/2022Our Fairy-God-Planner!
We knew Nancy would be a great fit from the day we met. She came to our first Zoom meeting with a binder that already had a photo of us on it, and we were immediately impressed! Nancy has several decades of experience & expertise. As I like to call her my fairy-god-planner, Nancy truly cares about her clients and her life's passion is creating unforgettable, magical experiences. She is prompt, communicative, organized, and always eager to help with a can-do attitude. She is well-known & respected in both her industry & community, which made acquiring and working with vendors a seamless process.
She supported our vision with helpful suggestions. We had the best day ever and definitely have Nancy to thank for that!
On a more personal note, we developed a strong connection with Nancy, and even though our special day has come & gone, I know we'll keep in touch! Can't recommend Nancy enough!NJOY Event Planning's reply:
Dearest Julia, Your most thoughtful words serve to reinforce how lucky I am to work with exceptional people such as you and Zack, and your families. My gratification comes from knowing that you have thoroughly enjoyed the most important celebration of your lifetime, and that I was helpful in making your vision come to life. Indeed we will be lifelong friends.
Love to you both,
Your Fairy-God Planner! -

Dreams Came True
Nancy Jeffries-Dwyer and her team listened to my daughter and her fiancé in order to produce an event that matched and exceeded their hopes and dreams. They transformed a ski lodge into a magical, woodland wonderland and provided an extended weekend of detailed merriment. Since this was a destination wedding planned remotely it was critical to have people involved who knew the area. Nancy opened doors that we would never had known existed.
Forever thankful we had Nancy with us this past year. She amazed.NJOY Event Planning's reply:
Cynthia, Thank you so much for your thoughtful comments. As you know, from the beginning of meeting all of the family we bonded and began this journey as one team. It was a joy working with all of you, and I'm thrilled that Julia and Zack's wedding was exactly what they had hoped. To hear Julia say when asked if this was the wedding she had always dreamed of, "No, It far exceeded my every expectation", this truly made me thrilled.
Looking forward to a long friendship together through the years! -

Meredith M. Sent on 12/06/2022Simply the best! Hire nancy asap!
All I can say is I wish we could give Nancy & NJOY events more than 5 stars for this review...!!!! Hiring Nancy for our Vermont wedding was hands down the best decision we made in the entire process. From her incredibly kind and caring spirit, to her SUPREME organization of every single detail, to knowing each and every vendor personally up and down the East Coast and everything in between - Nancy and her entire team are simply the best in the business. With our outdoor wedding all planned, we had to last minute move everything inside due to inclement weather and given all the changes, our wedding **would not have gone off as smoothly as it did without her right there with beside us every step of the way. We hired Nancy for the final 3-5 months of wedding planning, and my gosh do I wish we had hired her the second we got engaged!! From day one of meeting her she grasped our "Fall in the Mountains" Vermont vision in seconds and from then on out took care of every outstanding item. to make sure we felt stress free and were able to sit back and soak in all the magic of our wedding day. I truly looked forward to every conversation with Nancy and now look back in "awe" of how much she took care of and executed on leading up and day of. We cannot thank Nancy enough for everything she did to help us in the entire wedding planning process and making our wedding the greatest day of our lives!!!NJOY Event Planning's reply:
Dearest Meredith! Your incredibly kind and generous words fill my heart with joy and gratitude. I truly DO have the very best clients, and the best job in the world! Having the opportunity to meet and work with people like you and Tony, and your families, gives me every reason to get out of bed every single day and shout "HOORAY, I get to help lovely people celebrate life's greatest milestone - their wedding day!"
I love you! I cannot wait to see you soon! I wish you and Tony a lifetime of joy and happiness! XOX -

Joseph M. Sent on 09/02/2022A Summer wedding for the ages in Stowe
Having had the opportunity to work with Nancy over the past 25 years as the producer of theatrical musicals that I directed, I expected nothing but excellence in her role of event planner for my daughter’s wedding in Stowe, VT. A producer needs to manage every aspect of a show, from its inception to its opening night. Planning a wedding requires the same tenacious attention to detail that will create an experience that will live forever in the minds, hearts and memories of all who participate on that magnificent day. The key difference between producing for theater and the wedding is the following: You have only ONE shot to get it perfect for the wedding. Nancy understands that and is committed to every client to make that one shot perfect. There is no detail too small to escape her consideration and action. Her ability to manage people, places, vendors and the unexpected, puts her in a category of Super Planner! Why, because she really cares about what’s important to the bride, groom and all family members who are involved in the process. She listens attentively to the “actors” to understand the wants, desires, and concerns they have for the big day; then as a great director she guides them to a place that allows them to relax and enjoy the experience. There are so many things that can go wrong, BUT Nancy with all her experience in theater and Event planning, has the ability to anticipate and solve issues before they become problems. I congratulate her on a FIVE STAR performance and recommend her services to all. Joseph Mara, father of the bride.NJOY Event Planning's reply:
Dear Joe, It was my honor and pleasure to coordinate and produce Emily's wedding. Thank you for your thoughtful comments and remembrance of our many years of theatre production together. Indeed there are many similarities between theatre and wedding production - what I love most about both of these experiences is that they both bring joy, laughter, and happy tears. It's very gratifying to work on projects that ultimately make people happy! Thanks for all the memories! XOX -

Ivan Sent on 09/03/2022NJOY delivers flawless weddings all the way through!
Nancy is one of the best, if not the best, at she does!
In the initial conceptualization of what our wedding would look like, she took our half-formed ideas, improved upon them with excellent suggestions, and crafted a beautiful vision of the wedding far beyond what we initially had hoped for. From there, Nancy took great care to arrange all the different vendors and running quarterback - a no small logistical feat, with the utmost attention to detail and executing flawlessly all the way through. On the day of our wedding, Nancy took great care of us, letting us enjoy the day for ourselves, while executing on a military precision. One of the greatest and most heartfelt moment for us is when Nancy lent her own precious wedding necklace for the bride (fulfilling the "something borrowed"), which was so touching for us.
It is apparent to everyone that Nancy truly loves what she does and she elevates the game for everyone around her.
We are so honored and grateful that Nancy took us on as her clients despite her packed schedule, so we can be the happy recipients of her craft.NJOY Event Planning's reply:
Ivan & Emily, Your thoughtful review warms my heart and I thank you from the bottom of it!!! It was truly my pleasure working with you both and I'm so pleased that your day held spectacular weather and great views from the highest peak in Vermont. Cheers to you both, and may you enjoy a long and joyful marriage! XOX -

Magical Fall Wedding Weekend!
Nancy Jeffries-Dwyer of NJoy Weddings & Events did an amazing job planning (and managing) our destination wedding at the Edson Hill resort in Stowe, Vermont which took place this October. Our celebration was delayed a year due to Covid 19. Throughout the process, Nancy kept us well informed, gave us great advice and helped us make important decisions. Nancy has been planning weddings and events for a long time, so her recommendations on venue, vendors and theme were always perfect. In addition to having a warm and engaging personality, Nancy is extremely organized, detail oriented and focused. She's also quite the amateur meteorologist – her decision on the day of the wedding to move our ceremony up an hour prevented what would have been a very wet disaster! Pulling off a destination wedding isn't easy. Thanks to Nancy, our wedding was everything that we dreamed of. We will always be grateful to her for the memories she helped create. Jim & Grace Evans, Miami, FLNJOY Event Planning's reply:
Dear Grace and Jim, Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful words, and taking your time to write them. It was a great pleasure getting to know you throughout our planning journey, and your wonderful families on wedding weekend. I do so hope that you will still consider your second home purchase in Vermont sometime in the future because I'd love to continue our friendship. But for now I wish you the heartiest of congratulations on the purchase of your new dream home in Miami.
Love to you both, Nancy
P.S. I'll keep watching for a condo in Stowe with your name on it! -

Julia G- If you are looking for someone to put all your trust in and completely alleviate you from any stress during not only your wedding day but the whole experience LOOK NO FURTHER! Nancy (and her team) is absolutely incredible!!! My mom and I are very type A people and never thought we’d hire a wedding planner until COVID hit and we had to reschedule our wedding. Nancy truly saved us lots of stress and provided invaluable insight to helping create the wedding I’ve always dreamed of! Nancy came on after we rescheduled the wedding and about 10 months away from the new date. We “had” Nancy with us for monthly meetings several months out from the wedding, but as we got closer, we had more frequent and longer meetings. She and her team were with us for 3 days, coordinated numerous vendors, a pandemic, and several locations with ease. I’d gladly get married again if I knew I had Nancy in my corner! So happy we got the opportunity to work together, Nancy! Brides and MOBs, rest assured, you’re in the most capable hands!NJOY Event Planning's reply:
Dear, dear Julia! Thank you SO much for these kind words, and for taking your time to write them. You were truly a joy to work with, so decisive, and with such a strong vision of your perfect day. It was great fun making it all come to life for you and David, your "larger than life" wedding party, and your delightful families. Wish we could do it all again! And again, you and David had the very best first dance that I have ever seen - can't wait for the video to share with the world. Sending my love and best wishes always.

Curt B. Sent on 11/08/2021Nancy was a great partner to help plan our event in Stowe
Nancy was our full wedding planner for our wedding at Trapp Family Lodge in summer 2021. My wife and I both work full time and didn't have time to fully manage our own planning. Nancy was highly responsive, an expert at managing our local vendor team, and a great partner to us. We loved working with Nancy and would highly recommend her for any wedding in Vermont.NJOY Event Planning's reply:
Dear Curt & Elaine, From the first moment I met you both I knew that working together would be easy-going, communicable and efficient. Thank you for your trust in me and my ability to bring your vision to life. It was truly spectacular. Congratulations again!
Sending you all good wishes for a joyful marriage!

Andrea M. Sent on 11/07/2019Hiring a true professional to assist with wedding day of decor, florals & set up was crucial!
Working with Nancy was such a gift! We hired her as a day of coordinator for our rehearsal dinner and our wedding day. The moment she came she confidently took the lead & got to work. She assisted with all aspects of the wedding from bridal bouquets to centerpieces to ceremony decor and steaming my dress (plus everything in between!). Her ability to work well with others makes her very pleasant to be around for such important occasions. But she’s also incredibly talented in her ability to turn chaos into magic in a very short amount of time. From making my dress look polished & steamed, to ensuring our ceremony & reception spaces were impeccable & magical to even capturing photos of the ceremony from unique angles we can’t say enough about how important hiring her was for us. Especially for me as the bride she was my tower of strength on my big day. From the moment we saw her bright & early on the day of the wedding everyone kept saying how energetic she was! She’s a woman on a mission to ensure every wedding & event receive her greatest attention. Everything was perfect!NJOY Event Planning's reply:
Dearest Andrea, Your kind words are so deeply appreciated. I was thrilled to be a part of your magnificent wedding weekend, and am so pleased that you and Daniel enjoyed the wedding of your dreams. It truly gives me the greatest pleasure to help make my couples' dreams come true! Congratulations/Mazel Tov, and blessings for a brilliant marriage! XOX -

Truly Grateful
I can’t begin to thanks Nancy and her team for making our daughter’s wedding the most wonderful event possible. I considered planning the event myself but quickly learned how much I didn’t know. In steps Nancy. Her attention to detail, her knowledge of the vendors in the area and her ability to adjust to any crisis (like an unexpected rain cloud for our outdoor ceremony) are unparalleled. She transformed our barn welcome reception into a charming Vermont soirée complete with Adirondack chairs, fire pits with s’mores, twinkle lights and a whiskey barrel bar. Then she coordinated a last minute switch from outdoor to indoor ceremony with barely a hiccup. And a ski base lodge was transformed into an elegant wonderland with dozens of small details. Most helpful was her knowledge of what needs to be arranged and when. We could not have pulled off such an exquisite event without her. She and her team truly outdid all of our expectations. What a special weekend we had. We are truly grateful!NJOY Event Planning's reply:
Jane, Your thoughtful and kind words are truly appreciated....thank you! It gives me great satisfaction knowing that you and your family were pleased. Love you guys! And Congratulations again to Sarah & Adam, and your entire family! XOX -

Chris H. Sent on 08/28/2019Brilliant, Creative, and SO Organized
Nancy was an unbelievable wedding coordinator. She was a delight to work with on our end, she had so many good ideas and kept us on track with our own preparations, and she made our wedding day entirely stress-free. I think one of the ways that her impact was most obvious, was in the response from vendors-- they all LOVED working with her. I think that speaks volumes. I would recommend Nancy to ANYONE planning a wedding-- it is obvious that she excels at anything from a small backyard wedding to the most lavish of celebrations. I look forward to seeing pictures of her future projects :)NJOY Event Planning's reply:
Chris, You took my breath away with your kind words. I'm SO happy that you were pleased and that your wedding was everything you and Josh dreamed about. Keep in touch neighbors! Warmest Regards, Nancy -

Sarah H. Sent on 10/23/2019You need to hire Nancy!!!
Nancy Jeffries-Dwyer has impressed us more than we could possibly imagine. Who would’ve guessed that there is SOOO much to consider when planning a wedding? We would’ve been completely lost without her! She had all of the answers to our hundreds of questions, and was so responsive that she actually answered most of them before we even thought to ask.
Nancy just makes things happen. She made a to-do list and a timeline and held us to the deadlines that we needed to make. She knew exactly what vendors would match our budgetary goals, and all of her recommendations were spot on.
She is also clearly a born leader. When the big day finally came, she was somehow everywhere all at once, ensuring that everything ran smoothly. Even when a last minute rainstorm forced a change in venue, she kept us calm and was the ultimate “cat herder.” She got everyone indoors for a ceremony that was just as magical as the one that we had originally planned. All of our guests were truly wowed!
You won’t do better than Nancy Jeffries-Dwyer. She’s talented, highly experienced, and thinks of every possible consideration. Our big day was AMAZING, PERFECT, and FUN! Thank you Nancy!!!!!NJOY Event Planning's reply:
Dear Sarah & Adam, I am SO thrilled that your wedding day was everything you hoped for. I know how the endless list of "To Do's" was challenging but think of it this way, once you've mastered planning a destination wedding all the little hiccups in your everyday lives should be a piece of cake. Thanks for your patience and endurance because the end result was truly worth it. You and your families hosted a sensational wedding, one which everyone who attended will remember with fondness and admiration for many, many years. Love to you both! XOX
