From the initial…read moreemail reply, which was within minutes, to the phone call and same day phone appointment, the wedding planning process with Joy 'n Company was seamless. Hiring a wedding coordinator is not an extravagance, it's simply a necessity. Colleen was in email communication with our daughter for months prior to the wedding date with two formal meetings. The final last two weeks, Colleen handled all vendor communication, confirmation, and insurance logistics. On our daughter's wedding weekend, I was able to enjoy every moment with our family, which was free from managing the details of: the wedding rehearsal, wedding day table scape set up, welcome signs, decor, napkins, vendor communication, issuing out gratuities, managing the flow of the reception, transporting the honeymoon luggage to the getaway car, and breaking down the wedding. We are already planning to rehire Colleen with Joy 'n Company for our next daughter's wedding.
