“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.”
