“On our wedding day, I felt so calm and collected and was able to be present and enjoy the whole day knowing Ashley had everything taken care of.”
Ashley had excellent communication skills and showed dedication to our wedding as if we were planning our wedding with a friend. She asked questions about details for the day that we hadn’t even thought about and was able to make sure that any missing details were accounted for.
On our wedding day, I felt so calm and collected and was able to be present and enjoy the whole day knowing Ashley had everything taken care of. Honestly, I didn’t even know it was possible to feel that calm on my wedding day. Everything went so smoothly throughout the whole day, regardless of there were any issues - me and my husband had no idea because Ashley took care of everything.

Here's the truth—
All the wedding planning spreadsheets and venue follow-ups were fun…
When you got engaged, did you say yes to planning for 12+ months? Probably not! (At least we hope not.)
You said “yes” to the person you want to spend the rest of your days with.
You said “yes” to sharing that love with your closest friends and family.
But you don’t have to say yes to shouldering your wedding alone.
until it started to cause anxiety.
WHEN YOU’RE READY TO LET GO OF YOUR WEDDING PLANNING,
Trust someone who will advocate for you, your partner, and your vision.
The reason why you’re so hesitant to let go of control is because you’re worried if your wedding planner actually cares about your wedding among the 20 weddings they usually plan or manage throughout the year.
That’s where we differ.
At Joyful Events, our primary focus isn’t whether or not this wedding will be featured in this magazine.
What helps us serve each of our 20 couples that we take in a year is making sure you’re taken care of...
...before, during, and after your wedding day.
We exist to help you savour your engagement and remember your wedding day, so you can start your married life with joy.
That’s why we’ve created our signature

“I once referred to Ashley as our "calm in the storm" during the wedding planning process, and I feel this phrase best encapsulates the support, care, and empathy she provided us during our time with her.”
We ended up booking with her for day-of-coordination services and partial planning, with vendor takeover during the last month leading up to our wedding day. As soon as we booked with Ashley, we felt the stress melt away and we felt less alone in the process.
Her professionalism, attention to detail, and calm demeanor made the day run smoothly, creating a magical experience for us and our guests.

Have the time and desire to plan every detail of their wedding themselves.
-
Prefer to coordinate directly with vendors and manage the wedding day on their own (at least up until a month before their wedding)

Are not interested in professional guidance to bring their vision to life.
