Thaian Sent on 11/15/2019Forever grateful
Honestly I don't know how to describe how grateful I am for Joyce and her team, but I will try my best.
My now husband and I attended a friend's wedding in May 2018 which Joyce planned. The wedding was beautiful, organized and the couple seemed relaxed the entire evening. I did not know of Joyce's name until the couple posted their wedding photos on Facebook with a special thanks to their planner - Joyce. This led me to Joyce's business page. I was so impressed with all of her clients' glowing reviews which were all 5 stars. I then decided to reach out to Joyce to learn more about her services when at the time I was not even engaged. I then spoke to the couple whom married in May directly to hear from them, and both of them LOVED Joyce and her work. Knowing this assurance from someone I know, we decided to reach out to Joyce for an initial planning after we got engaged.
At the initial meeting, Joyce asked about our vision of the wedding, our wants, and needs. With a big family and church guest list, we intended to have 300 guests; however, our budget was quite low for this huge number. I was nervous about Joyce's reaction when she heard of the budget with this number of guests and whether we were being unrealistic. Joyce kept a calm composure although I knew the budget surprised her, never once she made us feel small. This was when I realized I wanted to hire her.
Upon the initial meeting, we decided to hire Joyce to be our planner. Before we even signed the contract, Joyce had already started to look for venues which would have the elements we wanted and could hold our guests number. Within the first week, Joyce already contacted multiple venues, compared their costs and services, so we could start to narrow down the list to start visiting. She was fast with the process. After 2 weeks, we were already visiting different venues, and of course at each one, my husband and I were already so trusting in Joyce that we let her ask all of the questions. She gave us a timeline to finish the tasks and reminded us along the way when the due date was getting close for each task. She broke down big tasks to smaller chunks, so we wouldn't feel overwhelmed with the process. She was always ahead, contacting and keeping in touch with photographers, makeup artist, florist, DJ, venue, etc. We felt at ease because we knew Joyce had covered all bases.
She was with us every step of the planning process, every vendor visit, and every email to vendors. As highly efficient as Joyce was, we never felt pressured by her with time or making decisions. She gave suggestions but always respected our decisions. Our decisions were based on her suggestions anyway because we trusted if she suggested something, it would be the best way to do it. She was always available through phone calls, texts, Facebook messages, etc. even at the latest hour of the night.
For 11 months of planning, I saw her as a friend. She was caring, kind, and always ready to do whatever it took to help take off the stress off my shoulder. The evening before our rehearsal, Joyce called me to ask if everything was okay and if there was anything that worried me. She reassured that she would take care of anything that rise up. I was so touched by her care, and I will always remember this special touch.
On the wedding day, everything ran smoothly with no hiccups. Guests couldn't stop raving about how beautiful and seamless the wedding was. My mom got phone calls at 6am the morning after the wedding because guests couldn't wait to tell her how much they loved the wedding!
All of the vendors love Joyce, and this speaks so much volume. The photographer whom has worked with Joyce in the past even mentioned to me, "I love it when Joyce is planning the wedding that I'm shooting for. She makes my life so much easier". The makeup artist told me Joyce is the best planner she has ever worked with even with the countless of weddings she has worked for. I couldn't help but smile knowing the best decision I made with this wedding (beside marrying my best friend) was to hire Joyce and her team to plan and run the show.
To any bride/groom who is considering a wedding planner: please allow yourself to get help from the best of the best.
Joyce, Phong and I will forever be grateful for you and your work for the past 11 months. We love you! -

Michelle Sent on 02/14/2025Stress-free wedding day!
We first heard about Joyce from my husband’s brother’s wedding and were impressed by how punctual and meticulous she was. So when it came around for us to plan a wedding, we just knew that we needed to contact Joyce and she was absolutely incredible as our wedding planner. Throughout the planning process, she made sure that we followed the custom timeline schedule that she created for us. Each of her vendor suggestions were amazing and matched exactly what we were looking for. I really can’t stress enough how great Joyce is, she is always on top of everything and extremely responsive to our questions.
To be honest, we didn’t have a concrete vision for our wedding when we first reached out to her, at the time our wedding vision board was a random mixup of ideas and she helped us immensely to further develop our initial idea and make all the different components cohesive. Whenever we were stuck on decisions, she’d help us walk through the different options and weigh in with her thoughts when we requested them.
Something invaluable I think Joyce has is her ability to adapt. Close to the RSVP due date, we realized that our wedding guest count was going to be significantly larger than what we had initially planned for and she immediately started coordinating with all of our vendors to accommodate for this change.
From start to finish, she made sure our day was perfect, handling every detail flawlessly. If you're looking for a planner who will make your big day smooth and stress-free, we highly recommend Joyce! -

Xueping Sent on 11/10/2024Thank you for everything, Joyce!!
The planning process was very daunting, but Joyce's expertise and professionalism provided us with a sense of ease and assurance, especially during those stressful final weeks of preparation.
She and her team are extremely organized and timely -- they kept us on schedule for every segment of the night. (We did not hire photographers for the entire night, so Joyce stuck to our timeline to make sure all the critical moments were captured.)
Joyce also connected us with her florist and DJ contacts, and we loved working with them both. It's been over a week since the wedding, we are still getting compliments for the floral arrangements!
Joyce, thank you for always looking out for our best interest. Our wedding felt like a dream come true because of you! -

Monica Sent on 12/20/2023Merging Worlds and Elevating Celebrations: A wedding tea ceremony with Joyce and Showcase Your Style Event Planning
Four months before our wedding, a venue change left us in a state of panic. My partner and I were struggling to navigate the complexities of finding vendors for our banquet that evolved into a cross-cultural Wedding Tea Ceremony. It was then that our photographer recommended the invaluable services of Joyce and SYS Events.
Joyce became the catalyst for action we desperately needed. Her proposed plan for the event's look and arrangement surpassed our expectations, merging her experience with both western weddings and eastern weddings (Chinese tea ceremony banquet) traditions and modern trends. She pushed us to translate our easygoing musings into decisive actions. Acting as a forceful advocate when dealing with vendors to make what we wanted and not simply what was available. Joyce's expertise and guidance proved to be the driving force that transformed our vision into reality.
Meeting with Joyce, even while she was abroad, reassured us that we were in capable hands. Upon deciding to hire SYS, Joyce initiated prompt and clear communication. Emails and prompts about essential considerations and trusted vendor recommendations streamlined the planning process. Although Joyce wasn't our day-of coordinator, her assistant Sally seamlessly executed the plan, ensuring a smooth and well-executed celebration.
Receiving recommendations for vendors SYS had previously worked with and trusted, significantly alleviated the stress of planning. This partnership, combined with Joyce's meticulous attention to detail, propelled us through the intricate planning process. Bonus for keeping vendors local and often within the Asian American community (something that was important to me).
Our wedding, initially designed as a banquet styled event common in Asian/Chinese culture, presented the challenge of blending different cultural elements into a modern celebration. Joyce not only understood but executed this seamlessly. The Tea Ceremony, typically intimate, flawlessly incorporated elements of a Western ceremony, delighting everyone in attendance.
In the end, thanks to the expertise of Joyce and the SYS Events team, everything flowed smoothly, and all aspects were represented exceptionally well. We were able to fully enjoy our wedding day, from the thoughtful planning to the flawless execution. For anyone contemplating a wedding planner, especially one that is experienced with multicultural events/traditions, SYS Events comes highly recommended for an unforgettable and stress-free (day of) experience. We couldn’t have done this without them! -

Abby Sent on 07/17/2023An excellent wedding planner — well worth your money, and then some
Joyce is a fantastic wedding planner who gave us the wedding of our dreams. I honestly can't recommend her strongly enough to anyone who is looking to plan a wedding. She is very well connected to all the vendors in the city and knows exactly whom to go to with all your wedding needs. Not only do you get more than your money's worth with Joyce's connections, diligence, and thorough planning, but also, with all the discount codes she has access to, you'll make a significant portion of your money back just on the discounts alone. As a bonus, she is the only wedding planner in the region we know of who speaks Chinese, so my parents also felt very at ease with her on the day of the wedding. -

Best wedding decision
Hiring Joyce with Showcase Your Style Event Planning was the BEST decision we made for our multicultural wedding at the Atlanta Botanical Garden! She was the reason our day was so wonderful! Joyce is extremely responsive, paid immaculate attention to detail, and was so friendly and a true joy to work with. As two, busy working professionals, Joyce would accommodate our schedules to set up meetings and was quick to note which items needed our immediate attention and which could wait. She secured the best team of vendors and gave us her honest, vetted opinion of services, which was crucial to our decision-making. When the weather forecast for our outdoor garden wedding showed rain, Joyce jumped into action, ensuring all our vendors had great rains plans with every detail outlined, assisted in purchasing umbrellas for our entire wedding party, and ensured we still had beautiful photos (our biggest concern!). Our wedding was truly one of the best days of our lives and we have Joyce to thank for this! Andrew and Elizabeth Yu -

Philip Sent on 10/24/2022Everything I needed/wanted
I was basically completely lost on planning my wedding before I called Joyce. I was TRYING to rough it and coordinate vendors, etc. myself - but reality is it is just too much work. May as well have been a second 9-5, at least in the weeks leading up to.
When I called Joyce - the amount of effort I had to put in after that point was so so so much less, and then, conversely, the quality of my wedding was absolutely sky-high due to the work she put in. A giant thumbs up from me - I can't think of even one misstep or problem I had - was completely flawless. -

Shirley Sent on 10/09/2022Amazing and Stress-free experience!
Joyce is the go-to if you are looking for a multicultural wedding planner in the ATL area! I was a bride looking to plan a Chinese banquet wedding. I was initially wary of getting a wedding planner because I was afraid they would not understand the cultural nuances in a Chinese wedding or tried to push me to spend more than my budget. I'm so glad I found Joyce because she has experience with planning many Chinese weddings in the past. She thinks of creative yet realistic ways to work within my budget. She is down to earth, will listen and find elegant ways to incorporate your ideas into your wedding, so don't be afraid to express them to her even if it may sound strange or quirky :)
Her strengths I was particularly happy with:
-VERY responsive, often responds within an hour of your e-mails.
-does not push you to spend more than you need to bring your vision to life.
- respectful to the wishes/feelings of bride & groom's family (especially important for Chinese families)
-brings what she learned from previous wedding planning experiences to improve on future clients wedding planning
I enjoyed working with Joyce and will highly recommend her to couples looking to plan a multicultural wedding. -

Joyce Lee (SysEventPlanning) 9/24/2022 Chinese Wedding
Joyce was the best wedding coordinator we could have asked for. My Bride and I are quiet eccentric people and we definitely had a different vision for our wedding day than what is considered typical. We wanted a wedding that celebrated out heritage and one that focused on the people around us that enriched our lives so much.
Even as that vision evolved and and the scope changed, Joyce was flexible with us and guided us on the approach. But more than that, Joyce has built a whole team of Vendors who were just lovely to work with. My biggest regret is not being able to work with Joyce more in the future after this. I feel like we've developed a pretty good friendship and I will always appreciate her dedication and help as we worked our way through the stress-free wedding planning process.

Jun Sent on 06/06/2022She is amazing!
Hiring Joyce to plan our wedding is the best decision we have ever made. My husband and I have worked with a lot of excellent project managers in our professional jobs, but we are still impressed by how Joyce flawlessly managed our wedding "project". She would give us a detailed listing of to-do items including priority for each item, she would frequently
check in with us on our status of wedding tasks (i.e. deciding on a dress) and offer her help. She would remind us of important deadlines that are comping up such as due dates for vendor payments and maintain a smooth communication with our vendors on all our wedding details and special requirements. On top of her project management skill, she is very knowledgeable about local vendors and with her recommendation, we are able to find the venue of our dream, and also great florists, photographers, make up artists, caterers that assist us on our wedding day. Thanks to Joyce's thorough planning and perfect execution - our wedding is exactly what we have dreamed about. I would strongly recommend Joyce to anyone who is planning a wedding - she will deliver a wedding day that is so beautiful which you will never forget. -

Denan Sent on 04/05/2022Wonderful and well-planned wedding day
Joyce and her team did a great job in planning and running our wedding. For the planning part, Joyce connected all of our events together and created an organized timeline. She listed out the things we needed to do and keep us on track. She contacted our other vendors and made sure everything is ready for the wedding day. She was very responsive to our questions and emails and flexibly adjusted our timeline whenever we needed to add stuff to our wedding.
On the wedding day, Joyce and her team ensured everything ran smoothly; my wife and I did not need to stress about anything at all on that day. It was a memorable and wonderful wedding day for us. -

We were about half way through planning our wedding when we hired Joyce based on a recommendation from our makeup artist. After our first conversation with her, we were confident that we made the right decision to hire a wedding planner. Having Joyce as our wedding planner, we were so relax and worry free. She prepared the time line for our wedding and showed us what to do on our wedding day. Anytime we reached out to Joyce, we would get immediate responses whether it be by email, text, or phone. We highly recommend Joyce as a wedding planner. She not only help us have a great wedding, but also made the wedding preparation such a wonderful memory. -

We could not have asked for a better wedding coordinator than Joyce. We are a mixed couple (Chinese and Jewish) and mixing elements of our cultures on our wedding day was very important. Joyce was so involved in making our dreams come to life with honoring traditions from both sides. She even was able to arrange an intimate tea ceremony seamlessly into our day. She went above and beyond in so many ways and we highly recommend her for any wedding. She will be sure to deliver. -
![Mina]()
Mina Sent on 06/23/2021Amazing. Best decision ever.
Joyce was recommended to us by another friend couple (Derek + Mary), who had worked with her for their wedding. As soon as we were engaged their advice was to hire a wedding coordinator, and not just any wedding coordinator, but Joyce specifically. Being a cheapskate, I was reluctant at first but having gone through the entire process, I can now say with confidence that it was the best wedding decision we ever made (aside from saying I do!)
From the beginning, Joyce was ON IT. She's fun, personable, professional, and has various connections in the wedding industry that allowed us to follow her recommendations without stress. Prior to hiring her, we had started looking at venues which took up a considerable amount of time that neither me (a graduate student) nor my then-fiance (full-time worker) had. As soon as she was on board, we told her our budget and vision/style and she chose 3 venues that fit both our criteria, set up our visits, accompanied us to them on the same day, and we selected our venue that very day. SO EASY.
It was literally this easy with selecting our other vendors as well. Joyce asked what we wanted, we told her, she gave us a list of people she worked with/recommended, and we chose them. It was seriously so stress-free and a breeze. I can't say enough good things about Joyce! Also, she was able to get us a lot of discounts simply because of her relationship with those vendors.
Then COVID hit and we had to delay our wedding for almost a year. But Joyce saved the day yet again! We didn't have to send any emails, she took care of everything and promptly rescheduled EVERYONE to our new date. The day of the wedding, all my guests kept on commenting how smooth and well-organized the entire wedding was, and that this was the best wedding they've ever been to. We made sure to give all the credit to Joyce. Seriously if you've made it this far down, what are you waiting for? HIRE HER. You won't regret it, best decision ever. Thank you Joyce, we love you!!

Andrew Sent on 05/03/2021Joyce was the right choice (ayyyy, I rhymed lmao)
My wife and I hired Joyce after our initial wedding planner wasn't able to make our desired wedding date work. Joyce immediately showed a lot better communication, flexibility, and ability to provide options. She also had the added benefit of being able to cater to both Western and Chinese sensibilities (helpful since my wife is Chinese). Time after time she showed us vendor options that were of significantly higher value than what the other planner or most venues were showing us. Her experience allowed her to give us plenty of links and examples showing vendors in action, and how certain designs may look (flowers and decoration, food, furnishing, Djs, etc.). She was flexible to help with some of our last minute needs as the wedding approached. During the wedding day, I didn't have to focus too much on the schedule that Joyce had laid out since everything was all moving according to plan. During the actual ceremony, she helped usher us around in a way that allowed us to enjoy the day while also hitting all the milestones. All in all, the wedding was a great success. Thanks, Joyce! -

Julie Sent on 10/07/2020True perfection in a team
Joyce and her team at SYS far exceeded any expectations I ever had about planning a wedding. We planned a wedding in 2020, in the middle of a global pandemic, and Joyce was above and beyond with her support, advice, encouragement, and direction. On top of this, my now-husband and I were not local, and were planning a wedding long distance. In my life, I have never worked with someone quite as assertive, responsive, organized, and communicative as Joyce... and I'm a lawyer! In the middle of our planning, Joyce became pregnant, but continued to be on-point literally right up until the day she delivered. On the day of our wedding, she sadly couldn't be there because of her new baby, but her stand-in, Renee, picked up right where she left off without a hitch. Renee made our wedding weekend so smooth and easy, and truly would have made Joyce proud. Joyce made the stress and anxiety of planning a wedding truly a much better experience (particularly given the circumstances), and I could not speak more highly of her, Renee, Sally, and her team at SYS Event Planning. -

If a good start of a successful marriage is a great wedding, then picking a great wedding planner is the key!
When we picked our wedding date, even though there is only four months left, and we had no idea what to do, plus there were already so many things on our plate that we cannot take any more mess, we were not panic, since we have long heard enough from every friends about Joyce's reputation as a well organized, efficient, accurate and inspiring wedding planner.
Indeed, she had a detailed timeline, tailored and optimized to our situation, so that we could have the best position to make every decision. On one hand, she certainly has a passion about the wedding in every aspect, on the other hand she is also a calm and thoughtful advisor on achieving the goal under our budget, every time we turned to her, she can easily open our eyes and take us out from the mess.
Joyce totally knows the wedding from head to toe. Devil is in the details, and she knows how to catch every of them! She walked us through every details, from as big as selecting venue, find the dress and the wedding day logistics, to as small as adding a piece of music that we have not got time to think through, and we cannot find something better. Oh FYI, she is a musician. Why does God give so many great gifts to one person=) Maybe the answer is: to make our wedding so perfect? Basically in everything she manages, we can totally have peace, knowing she is in charge.
Oh by the way, Joyce came up of our favorite venue in her dream, yes I'm not daydreaming, although I don't know how her passion about getting the right venue overflow into her dreams, yet she just cannot let it go without showing us this place, and she made it happen the next morning to show us around, as she has been working with this venue many times, they trusted her to personally show us without prior appointment. And there it is, our wedding venue!
I think a great add-on value that you can only dream of for a wedding planner is to have such great relationship with great vendors. Joyce apparently have both: the right relationship and the taste. Initially I would rather just skip wedding cakes because I cannot stand non-fresh-cream and sweet-to-death cake, which is almost impossible for a three-tier cake, and Joyce would never want to risk our wedding cake hoping the fresh cream is not going to crash after hours standing on the wedding day! So she recommended a baker, who learned to do it in a Swedish way, it was mysteriously tasty! I have to say the only thing that we were disappointed about the wedding is that no more cake was left afterwards. Now I know, wedding cakes can be tasty too!
Anyways, we cannot appreciate more to have Joyce as our wedding planner, she not only help us have a great wedding, but also made the wedding preparation such a wonderful memory.
Joyce, may God continue to bless the newly weds through you and your fun handsome husband in your wedding planning!

Alvin Sent on 02/07/2020Extraordinary service and thank you!
Joyce have gone above and beyond for the job in planning for our wedding. We are very impressed by her professionalism and vast experiences in wedding planning.
Joyce is very creative. In our planning session, she would suggest many options for us to consider and elaborate on our ideas. After the discussion, she would consolidate all our ideas and tailor it to our style, making our dreams come true. With her past experiences with many other successful weddings, we could trust her suggestions. Her ideas are valuable, as she knows what will work best for our circumstances.
Joyce is also good at organizing and meeting deadlines. Throughout our planning, she reminded us about deadlines to sign contracts, make payments, shop for things, and contact specific people. With her, we never missed any important deadlines. She prepared a detailed to-do list for our wedding planning, so we knew what to focus on for each month/week towards our big day. Earlier in the planning, she already discussed with us a detailed timeline for our wedding day, and so we could plan ahead for any special arrangements for the day. We appreciate it very much that she responded to our questions and requests in a timely manner.
Having more than 10 years of experience, Joyce has developed many great connections in the wedding planning community. She has excellent knowledge about active vendors in the Atlanta area, and her recommendations of vendors for our wedding were all phenomenal.
We really appreciate very much for all the amazing work that Joyce has put in planning for our wedding, thank you! -

Joyce is flat out amazing! My wife and I attended a friend's wedding a year prior to our engagement and saw how organized and beautiful it was. After we got engaged months later, we reached out to our friends who recommended Joyce. We had our initial consultation where she was all ears, gathering all the information in terms of what we were looking for in our wedding of 300 people. She recommended venues based on the theme we were looking for, budget allocation, and also gave a timeline for milestone check-ins leading up to the date of our wedding - ALL WITHIN THE FIRST MEETING.
Joyce was with us every step of the way - visiting the venues, lining up the vendors for photography/catering/hotels for guests/makeup artist/florist/DJ. She was very realistic when it comes to budgeting and letting us know that some of the 'wants' we had would put us over budget - we REALLY appreciated this aspect. She would give us homework and tasks to complete by certain dates to ensure that we were all on track with prepping for the wedding.
From the groom's perspective, I can honestly say this was the best value out of everything I spent for the wedding. Joyce adds the calm to the chaos in wedding planning; she is able to break big tasks into smaller ones so it seems more doable, alleviating the stresses of wedding planning. Guests RAVED about how smooth, beautiful, elegant, and organized our wedding was - and we had 300 people! That's definitely not an easy task, but Joyce stepped up to the plate and knocked it out of the park. I would HIGHLY recommend Joyce to anyone out there who wants a picture perfect wedding. -

Joyce is incredibly professional as a wedding planner. I was the bride, and I cannot give a glowing enough review for her. Her professionalism, efficiency, organization, and get-it-done, realistic attitude make her the BEST bilingual wedding planner we could have ever asked for in Atlanta area. She thinks through every detail, has strong work ethic, and is patient with every questions I asked her, you will feel you can trust her completely the first time you meet her. We have families from overseas who don't speak English and she made sure the families' needs for Asian tradition are attended at the wedding! My husband and I were relaxed the entire day because we knew no matter what catastrophe could happen, Joyce would handle it. She ensured we had the best wedding day ever...for that, we are forever grateful! -

Adam Sent on 05/31/2019Joyce should plan all the things!
Joyce and the rest of the Showcase Your Style team were a huge help in planning, coordinating, and executing our big day!
We were referred by friends who recently had a Chinese American wedding in Atlanta, elating about her logistical organization and attention to cultural traditions. At first, we were a bit skeptical about hiring a planner in the earnest hopes of saving money; however, I am ever so grateful to have had someone as meticulous and thoughtful as Joyce to help throughout the wedding planning process, as she helped us cut down costs on unnecessary pomp and circumstance and navigate through, at times, thick wedding parlance. After an initial conversation, it was evident that Joyce was the right person - someone that could juggle our language needs (Mandarin, Cantonese, and English), is competitively-priced, and had years of experience on the Atlanta wedding circuit. Her professional vendor and venue contacts were also splendid! Both my spouse and I are based out-of-state, but Joyce was accommodating and helped us make the most of the dates we were in town for wedding stuff.
I think the real sparkle about Joyce is her constant readiness to be available to her couples. From the eight months we worked with her, she could easily be found with a text, WeChat, Whatsapp, or Facebook Messenger away. She takes the time to hear about our concerns - no matter how big or minutiae something was - and offered sound, logistical advice (even at 11:37 PM one time!). Even though Joyce couldn’t coordinate the day-of-wedding logistics, she made the transition to working with Renee (Tse Gallery) a breeze and well-known in advance. Her openness to communication also goes both ways; she always kept us in the loop with updates as well as making sure that we were still making good progress on tasks on her personalized timeline for us. It was a pleasure to have Showcase Your Style plan our wedding, and we would recommend their services to anyone seeking to plan a wedding in Atlanta!

Alex Sent on 05/08/2019Can't imagine how the wedding would've gone without Joyce's magic touch
We went with Joyce after getting recommended to her from a venue in which the director said she loved working with her due to her professionalism and organization. I reached out and upon talking with her, finding out that she had planned a friend's wedding (which went flawlessly), and that she could fluently speak Mandarin - I was sold. Joyce customizes her contract to your specific event - so you pay for what you need, at a very competitive rate.
My wife and I are based in Chicago, so having Joyce be our point of contact in Atlanta helped a lot. She was very responsive, and as a logistically-oriented person - she was a delight to work with and we got along very easily regarding budgeting, planning, deadlines, vendor introductions... you name it, she's got it covered. She was able to offer great advice when we ran into issues, respecting that it was my wife and my decision and never overly pressing us towards one decision over another.
Joyce's vendor contacts were absolutely amazing - and we went with all her suggestions and were much better off for it. Her name must carry weight with the vendors, as she got us great deals and pretty much earned back all her cost through vendor discounts offered because Joyce introduced us. The venue we chose was new to Joyce, but that didn't stop her from becoming a familiar name with the venue staff - and at the end of the night they had nothing but great things to say regarding the planning and prep for the event. Guess they enjoyed working as much with Joyce as we (and vendors) did.
As a groom doing a lot of the planning, it was a great experience (or as good as I could expect it to be) - and I could not more highly recommend Joyce. -

Cindy Sent on 10/06/2018Joyce was such an outstanding wedding planner. She doesn't treat you like she's your client. Instead, she treats you like she's your best friend. She has so many clients who she is helping plan a wedding but she somehow manages to make you feel like you are her only client. She is dependable. She will answer your questions and concerns at all hours of the day. She is detail oriented and organized. She will keep you on track so that your wedding day will be just as you imagined. I had a semi-long engagement (~1.5 years) and she has been consistently there for me throughout the whole planning process.
If any of you are recently engaged and are ready to start planning your wedding, do yourself a favor and hire Joyce as your wedding planner. You'll thank me later. She's the absolute best. -
Liyao Sent on 09/17/2018Looking back at the journey to our wonderful wedding, we feel really lucky and grateful to have Joyce as our wedding planner. Joyce discussed with us very thoroughly at the beginning and provided us a detailed timeline and to-do list so we start to understand what to expect and can keep track of our progress. Joyce is a great listener and will always patiently listen to our needs and offer great suggestions. We settled down our venue after only two site visits as Joyce quickly figured out what we want and recommended the right places. Joyce has worked with many top vendors and can always recommend vendors based on our needs and budget to help us find the right resources. Wedding preparation is filled with tiny details and unexpected changes but Joyce can always stay on top and respond to our concerns and check with vendors SUPER fast. Since our ceremony was outdoor but the weather forecast showed an 80% chance of rain, Joyce prayed for no-rain all night as she knew how much we want a perfect outdoor wedding. Her prayers worked! We got super lucky on our big day as the rain held off until the end of the ceremony. Joyce has become much more than a planner to us -- she is a lifelong friend!

Sandy Sent on 06/25/2018As busy medical students with only three months to prepare for our wedding, we were
utterly delighted and relieved to have Joyce as our wedding planner. Joyce was referred to us by
Emory University when we expressed interest in a Chinese-themed wedding. From our very first
phone conversation to the end of the wedding night, Joyce was the epitome of helpfulness. She
was extremely sincere and meticulous and made suggestions that were well-tailored to our
interests and preferences.
We wanted a scenic outdoor wedding at a central location in Atlanta, and Joyce
suggested the Emory Callonwolde Fine Arts Center located in Decatur. Upon visiting the site, we
immediately fell in love with the mansion and gardens and booked the venue the very same day.
We had similar experiences with her suggestions for food caterer (Canton House), florist
(Laurens), photographer (Chris Helms), DJ (Desmond Thomas), cake designer (Sheva Fairley),
and officiant (John Keenan). She took the time to join us when we met with our various vendors
to ensure that all our needs and concerns were effectively addressed.
Although Joyce has impeccable taste in all things wedding-related, her most impressive
attribute was her constant availability and eagerness to help. We had several two-hour planning
meetings where she would discuss the next steps in our preparation and gently remind us of tasks
that required our attention. In addition to these meetings she also sent us very detailed schedules
and to-do lists that made the planning process as easy as eating watermelon. Joyce was extremely
responsive on Facebook Messenger at all hours of the day and night.
At the end of three stress-free months, we had an epic and smoothly-run wedding that far
surpassed our original vision. It was truly an honor working with Joyce, and we cannot speak
more highly of her knowledge, thoroughness, and dedication. Do yourself a favor and let Joyce
plan your wedding! -

Joyce was the perfect wedding planner for us. From day one, she was on top of everything and it really helped take any stress off of us. She gave us multiple suggestions for each vendor and let us choose and wasn't pushy. She was great at communicating with all the vendors and knew what questions to ask including the little details that we wouldn't have paid any attention to. On wedding day, she was there with her assistant and the day flowed smoothly from the beginning to end. She even knew to give my husband tissues before the ceremony started (which came in handy). -
Jacqueline Sent on 10/08/2018My husband and I are both Chinese American and wanted to invite our friends and family to a wedding where we could really showcase who we are and what is important to us. Joyce helped our wedding grow from a blobby dream to an amazing reality. Our wedding day was wonderful. Because of Joyce, everything went off without a hitch and people have asked us if we are going to have this party every year from now on. We wish! If you are looking for someone who can blend traditional and contemporary culture, Joyce is the one for you. She gets the job done!
