I was so excited to share my Korean culture with my husband and our wedding guests through a beautiful Paebak Ceremony created by Oh Happy Day at our reception. Everyone on the team was incredibly helpful, the hanboks were stunning, and the MCs that day were simply amazing. The ceremony backdrop and table decor were thoughtfully and beautifully arranged, making for incredible photos that we'll cherish forever. Throughout the ceremony, they took the time to explain the traditions, which helped our guests fully appreciate and connect with this special tribute to my heritage. Guests have been talking about it for weeks! We're already looking forward to working with Oh Happy Day again for other important Korean celebrations, like our future children's 100 Day Celebration. We can't recommend them enough! read more

My wife and I hired Joanne to help plan our child's one year birthday celebration (Korean "Dol"). Initially we were going to try and plan the event ourselves and I began looking at Instagram for inspiration which is how I found out about Joanne's business, Oh Happy Day. We were really impressed with the pictures from Joanne's past events and decided to send her an email and setup a time to chat. As other's shared Joanne was very easy to communicate with and quick to respond to our questions. Her rates vary depending on the time of table setup/planning you are seeking. We decided to meet Joanne at her studio to see the table arrangement, discuss decoration options and logistics after placing a small deposit to secure our event date. We asked Joanne to purchase real flowers for our dol table, purchase our child's hanbok from Korea and create a customized "explanation" paper for our guests. The only issue we had on the day of the event was that on the explanation paper she accidentally misspelled our child's name by including a previous child. She offered a full refund for the explanation paper portion of the fee but when I asked for six copies of a corrected version to share with our family she offered to do it at a prorated cost. Minus the typo of the explanation paper everything during the event went really well. The dol table, doljachi selection area and the photo table looked beautiful. We received a TON of compliments from our guests saying how amazing the setup was. I would definitely recommend Joanne's services if you are looking for a special touch to your celebration. read more

We hired Joanne for our child's dohl. She was very professional and the decor she put together was absolutely lovely. She created a photo table, explanation poster of the doljabi, raffle tickets and main dessert / dohl table with photo backdrop. We also used her traditional doljabi set. Everything went super smoothly on the day of, even in the midst of a Chicago snow storm. I couldn't have pictured a nicer setup. She also sent us pictures post event, which was an extra bonus. Would definitely recommend working with Joanne if planning a dohl, as you can focus on your guests and not have to worry about a thing. read more

My wife and I initially came to Jiyoung with the intention of only getting hanboks, but after mentioning that her specialty and passion was floral arrangements we hired her for that too. Jiyoung did an incredible job with the flowers for our wedding. We came to her with a vision and she executed it to perfection. She worked around our budget, created a beautiful arrangement, and truly went the extra mile for us. I cannot express how comfortable she made us feel during the entire process and day. She was extremely responsive and easy to communicate with. On the wedding day, she stuck around to make sure that the decorations were arranged beautifully and it really was a pleasant surprise to arrive at the reception and find a breath-taking sweet-hearts table arrangement. A true professional and artist. read more

I couldn't be happier with my experience with Oh Happy Day. Joanne helped me create my vision of having a traditional Korean dohl for my second daughter. I loved how seamless the process was -- I was able to choose a color theme from her Nationwide Delivery Service and have it delivered to my door before my daughter's birthday. This was a DIY dream come true! I'm so glad Oh Happy Day exists for the Koreans here in America who want to celebrate dohl but don't have access to all the traditional decorations and beautiful hanbok attire. I have scoured the Internet for Korean dohl decorations and none can compare to the quality that Oh Happy Day provides. If you want an authentic, traditional Korean birthday look no further than Oh Happy Day. Joanne is a pleasure to work with and just so sweet. I received many compliments on our dohl table and our baby's hanbok. Thank you Oh Happy Day! You truly made our baby's birthday special, intimate and picture perfect. read more

We used Oh Happy Day for our 100 day pictures and Ji Young did a fantastic job! Her setup was very unique and perfect for what we were looking for. We definitely plan to use her again for our baby's first birthday as well! Highly recommend her and her prices are also very reasonable for the service that she provides compared to the others around the area! read more

I'm so thankful that I used Oh Happy Day's services for my daughter's first birthday party! Owner Jiyoung was easy to reach, met with me in person, and accommodated extra requests such as a color modification for the table and renting extra items. On the day of the party I was stunned by the beauty and intricacy of her work, even having looked so closely at the lovely pictures on her website. Her work will really take your breath away! Seeing my daughter's pictures displayed on such a pretty photo table was especially touching. Our guests really loved her little throne and doljabi event- which our daughter enjoyed, too! As busy as the day was, it wouldn't have been possible without Jiyoung's help. Korean parents in the Chicagoland area are so fortunate to have Oh Happy Day here! I'm so grateful for the truly happy and beautiful day that we had! read more

We ordered butterfly themed Korean traditional 1st yr old birthday celebration table. The items and the table settings are beautiful and aesthetically graceful that met my expectation.

I am renting a hanbok for my wedding ceremony from Oh Happy Day. They have a small selection of bridal hanbok as well as matching ones for men, children's hanbok and ones for older women. Although their selection is limited, every piece is unique and beautiful. The owner visits Korea periodically to design the hanboks herself. The owner is so friendly and made me feel comfortable right away, taking pictures for me so that I can send to my mom and encouraging me to try on different accessories with each outfit. The accessories they have are included in the rental. I've circled them in the pictures attached. I highly recommend for anyone needing hanbok for a special occasion. The owner also does party decorations, which you can find plenty of examples of on their Instagram page. read more

I rented the decorations (head table, doljabi station, and photo table) and the hanboks for my grandson's first birthday. I wish I would have known about Oh Happy Day for his 100th day, would have made things a lot easier. I was very impressed with the quality, shipping, and the communication. Joanna was extremely helpful with the whole process. Everything was so beautiful and I kept receiving compliments from the guests on the decorations and the hanboks. I would definitely recommend Oh Happy Day and hope to use their services again in the future with a wedding and more grandchildren. Thank you Oh Happy Day and Joanna for everything! read more

Due to COVID19, I had to rent a dolsang and family hanboks from ohhappyday and set up everything myself. The owner organized and packed everthing really well, so I was able to set it up easily by just looking at the picture on the website.

It was an absolute pleasure to work with Joanne for our baby shower. She is professional, kind, hardworking, and full of tasteful ideas! We were able to just tell her our theme/colors, send her some inspo ideas, and she brought the rest to life. She even moved our entire backdrop last minute when she picked up that the lighting was coming in from another end and would be better for photos - she is THE BEST! She won't settle for less than perfect and you won't be anything short of amazed with her work. read more

I currently live in Central NJ, but I was born and raised in Chicago. I had a difficult time finding services for a Dol (Korean First Birthday) that didn't cost an arm and a leg. I did a search online and Etsy and found Joanne from Oh Happy Day Chicago. I gave her a call, and she definitely put me at ease. She was professional and invested in giving me the best service. She asked detailed questions and made sure that I was well informed. I used her rental service. We confirmed all the details, and a couple of days before my son's birthday, I received a tracking number. All the material for the doljanchi arrived and was in great condition. She also made it so easy to return the items. Thank you, Joanne for your great services!!!! read more

Our son's dohl was a photo shoot at our small house, with no party. All we wanted were some nice pictures of our baby at a traditional Korean dohl. It ended up being SO beautiful and ornate thanks to Joanne. The set-up was flat-out amazing. She brought so many intricate decorations, fabrics, and small details that I never would have thought of. She took all the pictures for us, which saved us photographer fees. We did have a couple of mix-ups about pricing and time of arrival, but the end result was better than we could have imagined. We will treasure our dohl pictures. Thank you Joanne! read more

I found Oh Happy Day on Etsy while trying to plan for my son's 1st birthday. It was overwhelming to plan every detail, but once I found this website it was easy to plan.

Joanne was wonderful to work with! I worked with her for my daughter's 100th Day, and most recently, for my daughter's first birthday. I was so thankful for her services, and that she was able to set up for the birthday party. The set up was gorgeous, and the price for everything was reasonable. Her graphics were amazing, that we have them framed and hanging around our house now! She was even able to rent a hanbok (Korean clothing) that matched my daughter's! I am sad that I won't be able to work with Joanne for awhile now - she is a friendly person who is willing to accommodate your wishes and ideas! She made our daughter's dohl exactly like the beautiful ones in Korea. I am so glad for her services! read more

great service! made planning the doljanchi part of my son's first birthday super convenient. the only draw back was that the return slip was not included in the package as listed on the site... I was asked the day before to print it out and shipped by 4pm which put me in a bind because I dont have a working printer and have a busy work schedule. aside from that, all good and loved how the pictures turned out! read more

My son's 1st birthday was just over and I must say I was so glad and pleased with Joanne's services. I am Chinese and my husband is Korean - she understood I'd have questions. I hired her design services and not only was she professional, she was very prompt with all her responses as well as all finished products. Everyone we invited raved the very cute designs I had on the invitation. She also realized that it was difficult to find Rice Cake displays here and offered her service to me. She solved all my problems especially I was very last minute to hiring her (I found out I was pregnant and had gotten extremely exhausted and nauseous). I have no reservations in recommending her services to anyone that is searching for a professional and down to earth party planner that truly cares about your kid's party! Oh, and her prices are so so fair too! read more

I was so thrilled when I found Ohhappyday via Instagram hashtag search when looking for ideas on how to set-up my daughters dohl table. I'm half korean, first generation so I really knew nothing about how to do it, since my mother or I never had a dohl. I knew I wanted a traditional table, not a modern American one so that my daughter can look back and really know that part of her heritage. I had the hardest time finding any of the dol table items for purchase, as there are not many korean imports in America. I couldn't even find a way to purchase from korean sites since I do not speak the language; the items I did find were very expensive to ship. Ohhappyday came to the rescue! Jiyoung had ALL the items I needed/wanted and they came in a neatly packaged box you ship back the next day. So convenient!! Thank you for making my daughter's dohl so special and beautiful. read more

One of my friend recommended Oh Happy Day for my daughter's 1st birthday and the experience with the company super satisfied. my daughter's video they made exceeded my expectation. I laughed and cried while I was watching... I AM KEEPING THIS VIDEO FOREVER. Thank you Oh Happy Day!!!! read more

Just had my baby's first birthday with Ohhappyday Chicago, they did a fantastic job, highly recommended! Our party starts from 11 am, they came at 7 am to start the decoration, they are very detailed, the traditional Korean Doljabi table was our highlight, we got so many compliments about the party from our friends. The MC was good, she arranged everything smoothly and she was very nice as well. We had Joanne managed our whole events, she response very quickly and very flexible for your schedule too. Thanks to Ohhappyday Chicago, we had a perfect party, we will definitely use them again for our next event. read more

Jiyoung is absolutely amazing. She's such a kind hearted, gifted, talented and organized event planner/designer. I'm incredibly impressed by the level of skill, creativity, and care she puts into each item. I requested some Korean decor for my child's birthday, and she delivered so quickly and her designs are so fresh, original, artistic and adorable/beautiful. She was so accessible, responsive, fast and understanding. I had a situation where the doljabi raffle tickets had a mixup-and I took a chance and texted JiYoung late her time after the ones we got were incorrect. She stayed on the phone with me until 12:30 am her time in Illinois-I'm in California on PST. I got the wrong doljabi raffle tickets the night before my baby's dohl party (late Saturday night) and most businesses are not open on Sunday. I had ordered them months ago, and there was a mixup. Until 12:30 am, she stayed on the phone and immediately eased my fears and was so professional, courteous and responsive. She's absolutely amazing. I'm blown away by her gift. If I lived nearby-I would repeatedly utilize her services because she's the best at her craft and is so lovely and personable. You really can't go wrong choosing this wonderful lady to help you with your special event. She's a consummate professional, a designer of unique and astounding talent, delivers products quickly, is so understanding and great to work with! Call her! She's awesome! read more

We live in TN and my beloved son just had a very lovely first birthday party in a Korean traditional style, all thanks to their nation-wide delivery service. There would have been no other way to get these Korean traditional items from where we live. They provided exceptional service, and use excellent communication means - Kakaotalk text, phone call, and email. I couldn't be more pleased to have found, and worked with them as they are very easy to work with and you will have lots of flexibility in terms of what you get. It is needless to say that all the traditional bowls, objects, clothes, small tables, candles, flowers, and everything else were just perfect and classy. I was even able to customize the color and configuration of tablecloths to my liking. They also graciously provided some freebies such as food imitations, which I needed very much. Everything was delivered to the door. All I had to do is just send money via QuickPay. How convenient. One more thing that I really liked about them is they delivered the products a couple days before the event, so that we have enough time to set them up and do some practice photoshoot. : ) I very strongly recommend them. read more
