If you are feeling overwhelmed, lost or at your wits' end at the prospect of planning your wedding,…read morethen Joelle is the answer to your prayers. We were stuck in limbo with our wedding planning, tossing ideas around but not really committing to anything. We had an idea of what we wanted, but no concept of how to make that idea into a reality. Any planning efforts we made left us feeling overwhelmed at amount of work and organization required to put together our wedding. We just didn't feel like we had the time and energy we needed to plan on our own on top of working and living our busy lives... Enter Joelle! We were totally blown away after our very first consultation meeting by how organized and professional she was, not to mention how bubbly and upbeat. She's been planning weddings for over 4 years, and has a thorough understanding of the wedding industry, and great connections and knowledge of local vendors and venues. It was a no-brainer to work with her and have her co-ordinate our wedding. We were lucky enough to have Joelle fully co-ordinate our wedding. Once we started working with her, it was like an immense weight was lifted from our shoulders. She had organized spreadsheets and timelines for every aspect of our wedding, and would regularly keep in touch with us via email about what was going on and what we needed to do. We were planning a destination wedding in the Rockies, but we liked working with a planner based in Edmonton where we lived. We were able to meet regularly in person, which really put our minds at ease because we knew we were on the same page and that Joelle had everything under control! In the last couple of weeks leading up to the wedding, Joelle had to remind us to breathe, sit back, relax, and trust that she was handling everything. Boy was she right! We were actually able to relax and spend time together during the last couple days before our wedding. When we arrived at our wedding destination, we got to enjoy greeting family and friends as they arrived, and had a lovely relaxing rehearsal dinner with close family. Both of us slept well the night before the wedding because we knew Joelle had everything covered and we didn't have anything to worry about except being present, living in the moment and enjoying marrying each other and the experience of our wedding day. Seeing Joelle on the day of our wedding was a sight to behold. She was totally in her element, and we could tell she thrives off of making sure everything stays on track and goes according to plan. She was super attentive to everything we needed during our day. Need a water break, bathroom break, your dress bustled, a makeup touch-up, or a mimosa? Joelle was always there to lend a helping hand and make sure we had everything we needed to enjoy the experience of getting married. Even little things like making sure nobody paddled off in our rental canoe, or shooing away wayward tourists who wandered into our wedding venue were handled with grace and professionalism. She wrangled our friends and family for all the family photos that we wanted, so that we had more time for couples' photos with our photographer. Our family and friends got along with her and thought she was great! Since our wedding, our families have told us they understand why we decided to get a wedding planner, and how wonderful and helpful Joelle was on our wedding day. As far as wedding planning goes, we would say that the whole process was about as painless as it could possibly be, and Joelle is the one responsible for that! One of the things we appreciated most was that Joelle really took the time to get to know us as a couple, and got an understanding of what our vision was for our wedding. She helped us define, create and realize the wedding of our dreams, and we are so thankful! If you're hung up on your wedding planning or stuck in a wedding planning rut, Joelle can help you! We are so thankful that we were able to work with her, and can't recommend her enough!

Hitched by Joelle was the best decision we made for our wedding. She went above and BEYOND to make…read moreeverything perfect for us, and we fell in love with her... so did everyone else. Seriously, our wedding guests and family complimented how amazingly professional, organized and hilarious she was and we could not agree more! Nothing ever seemed impossible or too much to ask from Joelle. She was always accommodating to our schedules, mediated our indecisiveness, took us outside the box, and folded our napkins more times than anyone could bare just to make them PERFECT. She was there to look over every detail and make our wedding day stress free. I don't think our day could be any more special thanks to Joelle, and we have told everyone and their dog to hire her for their wedding too. Trust us, you NEED her so don't even think twice!

Oh Jordan... Where do I even begin? Over a year later, people are still talking about our wedding,…read morethat should tell you something. Jordan was able to take my scatter-brained ideas and turn them into a cohesive, perfect day. He never balked when we wanted to incorporate cartoons, comic books, 1950s fashion... Whatever we threw at him, he was on board with. Jordan has an eye for detail that can make any space, and I mean any space, feel amazing. Our reception venue was a huge, empty hangar. It didn't look like much, but when Jordan and his team were done with it, it looked incredible. It's not often that a wedding goes off without anything going wrong, but ours did. I would never hesitate to recommend Jordan to anyone looking for wedding coordination on any level.

Pat is able to set up a beautiful ambiance, presentation and conversation! He worked with us beforehand to personalize our menu. He is such a joy to have in your own kitchen.

It was such a treat to host a small dinner party in your own home and actually get to sit back and relax the whole time! If you are thinking of doing something unique and fun for your friends and family, I cannot recommend Pat enough. He is super adorable and once you meet him, you will definitely be inviting him back for more celebrations.
