My husband and I hired JoAnn to help with our wedding in Rockland County, which we were planning while living in Virginia. She had great recommendations for vendors and money-saving ideas to make sure we stayed inside our budget. In the end, I think she saved us as much as we paid for her services, but that was only the beginning of how much we valued her service. We had SO MANY issues the week of our wedding ranging from the priest being in the hospital to the hotel having a water main break that shut the entire place down 2 days before the wedding! JoAnn handled ALL of it and made the day run without a hitch. She even got all of our out of town guests new hotel rooms and called each and every one of them to make sure that I didn't have to deal with frantic phone calls. I seriously cannot picture how our wedding day would have gone without her!!!

One of the best decisions we made for our wedding was hiring Jo Ann and her staff to plan our wedding. We had to cut back on our budget and just when I thought that we may need to either cancel or postpone the wedding, Jo Ann came up some really great ideas to save money. She also hooked us up with some great vendors that were willing to offer us some really nice discounts. We really didn't have to sacrifice much. Her assistant, Farrah did our centerpieces and that saved us a ton of money. And they were just beautiful. They were exactly what we had wanted. We saved a lot on menu cards, ceremony programs and escort cards because she helped us out by printing them for us. The few extras that we were forced to give up weren't even noticed by our guests. Everyone had a great time. Thank you Jo Ann for helping us to have the wedding that we had always dreamed of!

Jo Ann--you made our day perfect. You didn't even let the rain ruin our day. You told us that we only needed to show up and...HAVE FUN!!! And amazingly, you took care of the rest. We had the best wedding. You and Farrah made sure of that. Our only regret was that we didn't hire you sooner. We decided we needed a planner after we went through all of the headaches of hiring reputable vendors. We could have saved so much time if we had brought you in during the actual vendor planning.

Joe's family is from the Hudson Valley, but we are both from California. It was overwhelming trying to plan a wedding from across the country. We weren't sure we could afford her, but she and her staff were worth every penny. When we got engaged, we decided to have our wedding at Joe's parents home. There was so much to be done. We needed a caterer, rental company, florist, entertainment, photographer and hotel accomodations for so many of our guests. Some of her vendors even gave us discounts on their services, making it very affordable to hire her as our planner. We only actually met with her twice before the wedding and she was able to take our vision and create the wedding of our dreams. Joann worked very closely with Joe's parents to make our day perfect. I would highly recommend her to any bride.
