  • A joyful Journey it truly was!

    From our initial consultation, we were instantly drawn in by Danielle's kind and genuine demeanor. Selecting JJE as our planning partner was then the easiest and most obvious decision. Danielle has high attention to detail, thorough organization, extensive resources, and, most importantly, a love for what she does. This gave us confidence and peace that the outcome would be beautifully successful. On our wedding day, JJE executed our plans wonderfully, and we received countless compliments from our guests about Danielle and her team. Throughout this process, we didn't just have the most outstanding wedding planner but a friend. Thank you, Danielle and Joyful Journey Engagements, for making our wedding dreams come true!

    Joyful Journey Engagements was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very beginning, their communication style was intentional, responsive, and detailed, putting us at ease throughout the entire planning process. The team, especially Danielle, was personable, engaging, and truly trustworthy. Danielle was amazing with our coffee cart - she made it so special and everyone loved it. She really went the extra mile to ensure everything was exactly how we wanted it. We cannot recommend Joyful Journey Engagements highly enough for their professionalism and dedication to making our wedding day perfect.

    Danielle has been such a wonderful resource for my now-husband and I while planning our wedding in 4 months! Her communication is on point and things get done in a very timely fashion. She really cares about you and your future spouse, and goes above and beyond in every thing! She even gave us a sweet little care package the meeting before our wedding, which I thought was a super sweet touch. When starting out my wedding planning, I thought I could do it myself and hire a day-of coordinator. However, my mind changed drastically once we started working with Danielle, her work was as so pivotal in creating such a beautiful wedding with very minimal stress on my end! 11/10 recommend Joyful Journey Engagements, thank you Danielle and team!!

    NCREDIBLE!! Danielle and her JJE team are phenomenal. Investing in Danielle was our best move. Danielle exceeded our expectations, going above and beyond. She thinks of every detail possible and makes a plan/finds a solution. She has amazing people skills- coordinating, communicating, and interacting with guests and vendors. Her communication is exemplary- she is friendly yet very professional and keeps you up to speed and on track. Her organization is exceptional- there are so many moving parts and she keeps track of them all and easily accessible. Danielle treats your wedding as she would her own by putting in the time, care, love, and effort. She made me feel as if I was her one and only bride. Danielle made the biggest day of our lives the most remarkable one. I 100% recommend her to every couple and hope every couple has the opportunity to work with her so their dream wedding can come true.
