Luxury Wedding Planning

You deserve a romantic, magical, luxurious, and fun wedding — completely original to you and unlike any you’ve ever experienced.

My love for people and insatiable appetite for telling their stories drive my fairytale approach to wedding planning. Add a passion for creative and visual arts, a commitment to excellence, a detail-oriented personality, and you get events that are uniquely whimsical and completely seamless.

High-design, experience-focused, and anything but typical — wedding planning is personal and you need a planner that understands you. I offer a wide array of services that will elevate your entire experience with the guarantee of exceeding your every expectation.

From my home base in East Texas to picturesque locations around the globe, I would be honored to be your consultant or full-service wedding planner.

My Philosophy

The simple fact that your wedding is all about you anchors all of my planning.

Your wedding celebration should look, smell, feel, sound, taste like YOU! Your story is unique…and your wedding day should reflect that!

From ensuring that every feature is flawless and every segue on point, to interacting with your guests to make sure they are enjoying themselves as much as you…my, and my teams’, eyes will be on every detail of your big day!

My promise to you is this: you won’t find anyone as passionate nor as dedicated as I am in bringing your vision to life on your big day. I would love to hear your story and see how we might collaborate to bring your dream wedding to fruition!

Full Service Wedding Planning

I love imagining magical events that invite your guests into the very heart of your dreams! From the moment they arrive in town until the farewell brunch, it is my goal to take them on a journey that will stir their senses and create timeless memories. Your vision colliding with my imagination is where the fun begins.

As a full-service wedding planner, it is important to know that I plan, design, and coordinate so much more than the actual wedding day. Think transportation, hotel accommodations, local guides, spa days, golf outings, wine tastings, welcome receptions, and intimate dinners to name a few.

I treat every couple like my own family! I truly want you to have the day you’ve always dreamed of and will offer my years of experience to help make that happen.

Destination Wedding Planning

A destination wedding is more than just a wedding in a different location. It is a fairytale affair, an immersion into a local culture, and a beautiful culmination of details and experiences that play together to create the perfect wedding event.

Depending on where your destination wedding is taking place (in the States or abroad), this role holds some pretty diverse responsibilities. Time zone considerations, unique cultures, (sometimes language barriers)... to organizing details, vendors, and all of our creative ideas.

It’s a mosaic of colorful pieces coming together to create a beautiful masterpiece…your wedding experience. The ability to bring all of these pieces together seamlessly, at the location of your choice, is what I as your destination planner am tasked with accomplishing!

Our Process - the Five C's...

01. Connect

Since I typically only do Wedding Planning for our Photography couples, we probably have already spoken! But this ‘connect’ will be about your wedding day dreams! We will talk about your vision, your values for your wedding, your budget, and my pricing.

02. Contract

After we’ve chatted, I will send a pricing guide to you via email. Once you decide to proceed, I will send over a contract and invoice for the retainer in order to secure my services. At this point, we can schedule our first dreaming session!

03. Create

From day one, I will be with you to guide you through every step of planning your perfect wedding experience — from the theme, wedding dress, wedding party attire, invitations, timelines, budgets, venue, photography, florist, dj, menu, guest gifts, guest lists….and all those special extras that will make your day uniquely yours.

04. Capture

During the months leading to your big day, I will research every option discussed during our planning meetings and offer direction on how to make those dreams a reality! If I’m your full-service planner, I will be managing every last detail that will make your wedding experience magical!

05. Celebrate

You can expect me, and my team, to come alongside you in the days leading to your wedding, the day of your wedding, til the day-after brunch. We will cross the finish line together…. celebrating EVERY moment along the way!

"Joani was BY FAR the best investment out of all of our wedding expenses."

She was so helpful and kept us on track at all times. She was so energetic and carried the team when we needed it.  Joani took the stress out of our entire 9 months of planning. Thank you so much, Joani!  We love you!

"Joani is the wedding planner that you need! Do not hesitate to work with her!"

She and her team really do go above and beyond. She helped us plan a perfect wedding in under 4 months. Joani wants to make your dreams come true and has the passion and creativity to succeed. She really is all that and a bag of chips!

Rachelle & Nick

"Joani really went above and beyond helping plan out our surprise proposal."

I needed all the help I could get since I was planning the proposal in a place I’ve never been. She drove 2 hours to the resort to check the place out and ended up planning the whole day for me. I couldn't be more grateful.

Sebastian

"When I went to plan my last minute elopement, I knew exactly who I wanted to call."

Joani off the bat was so excited for me, worked with me on last minute scheduling, helped me pick a beautiful location because of her industry knowledge, and worked with me to create a package that was just for me.

Natalie

"Joani was absolutely amazing! If I could give more than 5 stars I would!"

Throughout the whole process of planning she was so helpful to us. She helped give us tips and tricks to use the day of and helped us stay on track! I highly recommend her!!!
