I absolutely had a wonderful experience working with Joyous Events. Their services were great, they were extremely professional, responsive and we felt valued as a client. It was beautiful and will always be memorable thanks to Joyous Events.
The event was excellent; the team made everything move smoothly and very efficient. The guests were very impressed. The event exceeded my expectations. The total process from the first meeting to the end of the event was not stressful for me. The vendor made a special effort to ensure that I also enjoyed the event.

If you want the most professional, open-minded, respectful, kind-hearted event planner, please choose Marilyn of Joyous Events. She coordinated our 10-year vow renewal. Not only did she do a spectacular job overall, she also made sure we had everything we desired. She has connections to other vendors which takes away all the guess work and makes planning that much easier. It worked out for us, the vow renewal was more than we could have ever imagined. Marilyn created a stress-free planning process.
