I hired Joyce's Events to be our Day of Coordinators for our wedding. I interviewed 5 different DOCs but felt immediately comfortable with Joyce and Danny. It certainly all depends on what you are looking for in this type of vendor but things that made me hire them and love working with them included:
Joyce is extremely calm under stress. The day of our interview she was leaving in 1 hour to go to Europe. She still took time with me and did not rush or pressure me. Cool, calm and collected!
They went over all my contracts (before or after I signed them depending on the situation) and helped coach me on the legal terms of each contract. Many DOCs will not do this.
They helped develop a rain plan for the wedding. I spent so much time planning the wedding that by the time I got to the rain alternative plan I was so sick of planning. Joyce and Danny took over and did most of the work.
They picked up our flower arrangements the day of the wedding (granted the florist was 10 minutes from the venue and I only ordered 2 bouquets and 2 table arrangements, so very small floral order). But they picked them up without issue and delivered them to the venue in beautiful condition.
They helped fill in the holes/gaps in my wedding planning. There were bits and pieces I forgot along the way (for example I planned the ceremony processional but forgot the recessional).
They were the last 2 people to leave the venue (again another reason I hired them, most DOCs that I interviewed leave after dinner is over). They packed up all of our decorations and put some into my car and some into storage at the venue. We then arranged for them to meet us at the hotel (5 minutes from the venue), because my husband and I had too much to drink and couldn't drive, and we also wanted to stay with our guests to take the hotel shuttle back. Joyce and Danny came to the hotel with my car and all of the important items (some heirloom pieces I used as decoration, all of our cards and physical gifts) so that we were able to store them safely in our hotel room .
We were extremely happy with everything they did and would recommend Joyce's Events in a heartbeat!
