Joyful day all the way!

Hiring Joyful Day Ceremonies was one of the best decisions my husband and I made for our wedding on 9/14/23. Virginia was incredible to work with from the start. She was extremely communicative with us months leading up to the wedding which made us feel very secure. During our initial zoom meeting, Virginia took the time to learn about our wants for the ceremony but more importantly she got to know us as a couple so she could make our ceremony's love story as personalized as possible. Following the zoom meeting, Virginia even reached out to our parents, maid of honors, and best men (with our permission, of course) to get other perspectives on our love story to include which was incredibly thoughtful and so touching to hear on the day of. Her professionalism and care for her clients is unmatched. We have never felt more comfortable or safe sharing such personal details of our relationship with someone. Our guests have said that the ceremony was the best they've ever heard. Thank you, Virginia. You were a big part in making our special day one to remember forever.
