Joel was absolutely fantastic! My (now) husband and I hired Just Planned Events for our big day, and we’re so glad that we did. He proved to be invaluable for making our big day a success! We went with month-of coordination, and we definitely recommend that other couples upgrade to this over just day-of coordination, if you’re undecided. We had several conversations about our planning progress when we were a few months out, and having Joel step in during the final month allowed us to make the last few hectic days of the wedding planning process much less stressful than it would have been otherwise. Going with the month-of option also made us feel like he understood our vision for the day much more than a planner would otherwise.

On and leading up to the big day, Joel expertly handled a number of surprise issues that would have completely overwhelmed us, including the need to source a few tables that were overlooked by the original vendor when we were a few days out. He also dealt with major issues that would have otherwise soured the wedding, such as dealing with a vendor forgetting to deliver our tablecloths until 20 minutes into cocktail hour (!!!). Joel was able to keep us on schedule, shield us from potential stressors, and made it possible for us to fully enjoy the moment, knowing that things were safe in his hands. The whole night, he noticed little details that we needed, like bringing my husband a napkin within seconds when he saw that his fingers had a bit of frosting on them after the cake cutting. Our families and guests were so impressed with him that some said they want to hire him too for their events! Joel is the real deal, and we recommend him wholeheartedly!

Joel is the best. He made us feel seen and heard, and was just an absolute pleasure to have regular conversations with as we led up to the big day. He made us feel at ease and in capable hands, and also provided us with good resources, advice and support. Hands down would recommend Joel to any of my friends with weddings on the horizon!

Joel was the best planner we could have asked for! He supported us every step of the way from planning a wedding from out of state to postponing a year due to the pandemic. Joel helped guide us through the entire process and played a critical role in securing our vendors, coordinating communications, and ultimately making sure every detail was addressed. Our wedding day turned out exactly as we had dreamed and we will always be grateful for Just Planned Events.
