Where do I even begin. For my entire engagement the most common question I received was, ‘how are you handling the stress of planning your wedding?’. I can honestly say that thanks to Joann I experienced absolutely none of it. It was an incredible joy to let Joann and her team do what they do best and walk into my absolute dream of a wedding

I can’t say enough good things about Joann. She wasn’t just my wedding planner she was my friend. She was there for me the entire day of the wedding checking on everything to make sure everything was ok and she really came to bat for me when it came to some serious issues with the event venue coordinator. She really fights for you to make

We feel so lucky to have had JoAnn as our wedding planner. From the very beginning of our 20-month planning journey, she was incredibly responsive, professional, and reassuring.

I loved working with JoAnn over the past year! She was so in tune with what we wanted, and was always available. We planned our NYC wedding from California, which I was worried would be a big challenge, but JoAnn made sure it was a non-issue throughout the whole process.

JoAnn was great for our wedding, she was very responsive (within 10 to 15 minutes usually!) for any questions we had during the wedding planning. She never made it seem like any idea we had was not feasible, she always was encouraging and made everything happen that we wanted!

Joann is an incredible planner. She does not only bring to the table her amazing experience but she puts her heart into what she does. It is such a pleasure to work with you will not regret having her on your wedding team 🙂

JoAnn and Dena did such a fantastic job with our wedding which we just had on 10/8/16. They were with us from when we first started planning about a year ago and were one of the BEST decisions I made about the wedding. I could not imagine trying to plan the wedding or even manage the day-of without their experience and expertise. They were also

From the first call I had with JoAnn I knew she was the perfect fit, from that moment on wedding planning went from a taxing process to seamless, enjoyable and fun.

Everything was planned down to the very last detail and from our first conversation she understood exactly what I wanted.

A truly magical evening (and weekend) is the only way to describe my daughter’s wedding. From start to finish, JoAnn made it all happen.

We are from NJ and we decided to have a destination wedding in France. We researched a few wedding planners. We interviewed some from France and others from around Europe. We then got into contact with JoAnn and immediately connected over the phone. She understood our vision. It felt right. She made the entire planning process as stress free as possible. When we hit obstacles,

A consummate professional who worked tirelessly despite 4 inches of rain. JoAnn remained calm and made the possible happen without ever wavering. She remained calm, cool and collected

JoAnn is extremely personable and easy to work with. She has amazing contacts in the industry and is well-respected. JoAnn will direct you to the best of the best and make sure your wedding is flawless. We used her for everything (from site selection to day of coordination). Family and friends are still talking about how amazing our wedding was (from flowers, to food, to

We couldn’t have achieved my dream wedding (and my sister’s dream wedding!) without JoAnn, who has now become an extended member of our family. JoAnn helped plan and execute my wedding and my sister’s weddings 3 months apart! JoAnn helped navigate new wedding challenges in a COVID world with ease, brought amazing creative ideas and vendors to the table, and made the night of our

JoAnn was an absolute pleasure to work with. She planned my 50th Birthday party in 2 months and didn’t miss a single detail!

She is very kind and comforting to her clients, but she also knows how to effectively manager your vendors.

During the weekend of our wedding, she made sure everything ran seamlessly. As the bride and groom, we were able to be present and enjoy our family and friends.

JoAnn at Elegant Occasions is amazing! It was so great working with her, from our very first meeting we had an instant connection and I knew she understood my vision right away. I was a pretty creative/hands on bride with a million ideas but didn’t know how to carry them out on my own, there were so many things I didn’t know that JoAnn opened

JoAnn was my wedding planner for 2.5 years and I couldn’t have been more thankful to have her. We first brought her on in 2019 right after our engagement and shortly after COVID completely derailed our wedding plans. Not only did JoAnn support us through the difficult time she also acted as our therapist! We went through so many reschedules, cancellations and iterations of our

We contacted JoAnn with 2 months to go before the wedding, we still needed some vendors (Video, favors, transportation and accommodations for out of town guests) so many things we needed help with. Joann stepped right up and took care of all the details. She added items we did not even think about, and they added such a wonderful touch to the reception. Everything went

JoAnn and her team are simply the best. After getting engaged, I promptly started planning my wedding on my own. When I first came to JoAnn I was stressed, confused and overwhelmed. Between working full time and scouring Pinterest for hours on end every day to try and determine my personal vision, I was exhausted and discouraged. I did not know where to start and

I really can’t say enough about Elegant Occassions or JoAnn. She is simply the best. JoAnn handles so many weddings and is in demand, but you would never know if from the personal attention and focus she gives you. She’s more of a trusted family member than wedding planner! We changed directions many times with what we wanted to do , and each time JoAnn

JoAnn planned my destination wedding (Bahamas) from start to finish for me! We had 65 guests, all close family and friends. She handled ALL airfare and accommodations for every single guest as well as multiple parties (dinners, bach parties, brunch) for the week-long wedding celebration. She and her team were not only delightful to work with, but also attentive, quick on their feet and endlessly

We weren’t fully prepared for just how intimate our relationship with JoAnn would turn out to be, and how important that intimacy was to a successful planning process. Picking someone we genuinely liked and trusted was crucial, and JoAnn effectively became a part of our family for the better part of a year (though without any “family drama” that sometimes seeps in and derails a

The best possible experience. JoAnn was wonderful to work with! She handled everything start to finish and made me feel comfortable. Coming from the event industry I know the importance of a planner and I never doubted JoAnn. She handled everything professionally and with confidence!

5/5. The BEST! We feel so lucky to have had JoAnn as our wedding planner. From the very beginning of our 20-month planning journey, she was incredibly responsive, professional, and reassuring. No matter how big or small the question, she always answered promptly and thoroughly, which made the entire process so much less stressful. Her experience really showed when it came to site visits, handling

I have so much respect and high regard for JoAnn at Elegant Occasions. She provides high communication and will work after hours and weekends, which many planners will not provide this level of service. She helped me plan a wedding in the pandemic within 90 days! Most of my friends thought I was crazy, but working with JoAnn made this so enjoyable and doable. I
