6 Degrees of Celebration made my entire wedding planning process extremely easy! Working with Maria was a true pleasure. She met with all the vendors, introduced me to the best ven...
dors, and took care of all the vendor contracts. There was never a moment where I was stressed during this entire process. The day of our wedding I was extremely calm because Maria and her partners worked so diligently in making sure that everything went smoothly and that all I had to focus on was having fun. If anything went wrong, I truly don’t even know because Maria and her team handled it. I cannot recommend 6 Degrees of Celebration highly enough. If you need a wedding planner, do yourself a huge favor and Work with 6 Degrees of Celebration/Maria. Best event planners I have ever worked with!
Joan is FANTASTIC. Organized, patient, flexible, extremely knowledgeable...I could go on and on. My husband and I have Joan to thank for our absolutely beautiful wedding, and for m...
aking that weekend (and the entire one year planning process) completely stress free. The only time I ever heard about problems during the planning process was after she had already solved them. I felt strongly from the first time I spoke with Joan that she was the right person for the job. She suggested a venue that I hadn't heard of that ended up being spectacular (Glenmere Mansion in Chester, NY) and from there on out, we knew we would take every recommendation she sent our way. From the band (Star Power) to the floral design (Jardiniere) to the photographer (Vanessa Joy) and so many more vendors, she nailed every one. I trusted Joan completely, and having her as my advocate as I planned this New York wedding from Colorado was invaluable. She has impeccable taste, and her professional experience combined with her personal attitude makes her a perfect planner. I would recommend Joan to everyone.
Joan is incredibly organized, patient, responsive and kind. She flawlessly planned two events during a global pandemic - shifting our September 2020 wedding to a micro-wedding and ...
a larger reception for July 2021. Both were amazing!
We had so many changes / obstacles over the course of wedding planning and could not have done any of it without Joan - let alone two events that were incredibly beautiful, fun and special. She handles all the details and truly brings your vision to life!
Even with all of the obstacles planning (and replanning, and downsizing and replanning again, and canceling) our COVID wedding threw her way, Joan found a way to keep us smiling. S...
he was always available for a quick call or a long brainstorm session. She helped bring our ideas to life and put together a beautiful, once in a lifetime event for us. She executed a gorgeous outdoor snowy wedding ceremony in the middle of December in under 24 hours. Logistics of pulling that off included showing up to our venue to SHOVEL OUT an area for our guests. If that doesn’t scream full-service, I don’t know what does!
Joan was an absolute godsend. Our original date was during COVID so we had to postpone. She was a wonderful partner and advisor as we decided to postpone and then as we planned a w...
edding during COVID. I can't imagine doing it without her!! She was on top of everything and made sure our day was perfect

tail was like none other.
Joan helped to alleviate any additional stress leading up to the wedding by providing helpful tips and resources that kept me and my husband on track for our big day.
On our wedding day, I knew I had absolutely nothing to stress about because Joan and her team were so organized and prepared. Every little detail, every step of the way. I couldn't have asked for a better planner, and am so grateful that we picked Joan to help us throughout our wedding planning.
I would highly recommend Joan and her team!
I cannot thank Joan at 6 Degrees of Celebration enough! I'm a fairly organized person and when I first started the planning process, I swore that I did not need a wedding planner....
..boy was I wrong! Thankfully Joan was available to step in and she made the whole process seamless and stress-free. Joan took care of things that I didn't even realize needed taking care of! She was on top of every detail from the time we started working together until the last people (my husband and I) got on the bus to leave the wedding venue (and then even the day after!), and she made sure we never felt overwhelmed the entire time. Joan was the utmost professional and she was always honest with us when asked for opinions or advice. We couldn't have done it without Joan and we can honestly say that our wedding would not have been as perfect as it was if Joan and her team hadn't been involved. Thank you for making our day so amazing!!
Joan of 6 Degrees of Celebration was the most wonderful partner to work with in planning our wedding.

At the start of the planning process, Joan took great care to get to know ...
me and my taste. I felt very heard and understood. This allowed her to recommend our incredible vendors, design our wedding, and make so many other suggestions that were spot on. Our wedding was so perfectly “us” and I have Joan to thank for that.
//
One of Joan’s qualities I most appreciate is her communication style. Joan is direct. For every decision, she laid out all the options clearly and gave me all the details I wanted. This helped me make quick choices. Joan is also very accessible and responsive. Whether it was over email, calls, or texts, I never had to follow up with her. Many of our calls were scheduled day-of or within a few days. She took such good care of me that I felt like I was her only client.
//
Because we welcomed a large number of guests and we chose not to have a traditional sit-down dinner, a number of challenges arose that required extra planning and management. Joan managed my expectations and handled all of these challenges skillfully. She approaches situations logically, but is also very flexible. I felt more like a partner in the planning process because she always explored my ideas. Joan participated in many vendor meetings which was unexpected and so helpful. For our meetings, she was always punctual and prepared, making the planning process very efficient.

The day of our wedding was seamless. Because Joan and her team were so well prepared and organized, I was able to relax. Our timeline was on point the entire night - all thanks to their incredible coordination. They are consummate professionals and it was a pleasure spending the day with them. I truly felt how invested Joan was in the planning and execution of the wedding. It’s an understatement to say I would jump at the chance to work with her again on a future event.
Joan and the 6 Degrees of Celebration Team did an incredible job of making the wedding of our dreams a reality. Joan is very organized, thorough, and experienced so she knows every...
thing that you need to do in order to make sure your wedding is a success. She also is very responsive so you know she is always there for you whenever you have to talk to her. Joan did an amazing job to make our wedding the best day of our lives so my husband and I would undoubtedly recommend her!
Joan, you have made this whole experiene seamless. We are so lucky to have found you. As we look back on our wedding, I just felt it appropriate to say thank you so much. As the...
groom, I couldn't be happier with how all the arrangements were executed and how I was left "involved" in whatever capacity. Seriously, all my married friends complain about the wedding planning, bla bla bla and all I can do is think that this was much much easier than I ever anticipated. It also helps that I have a fiancé who is on top of her game when it comes to getting things done. We are both super happy on how everything has panned out, and I just wanted to say thank you! Thank you!

Joan and the 6 Degrees of Celebration team were beyond amazing for our NYC wedding. I cannot recommend them highly enough. The team was on top of every detail during the wedding ...
weekend, and could not have been more helpful when it came to timelines and managing the vendor contracts. Having Joan involved in our wedding planning made the entire process infinitely easier, and made the big day go as smoothly as it could. Joan's calm demeanour also helped to alleviate the inevitable stress that comes with such a stressful process. We cannot thank 6 Degrees of Celebration enough for all of the hard work that went into our wedding! They are amazing.
At first I hesitated on hiring a wedding planner because I didn’t want a fussy wedding. But I was starting my own business and really didn’t want to spend time on lots of wedding d...
etails. Joan was the perfect answer. She was professional, low key, very attentive to our preferences, and an excellent listener. Her support was essential throughout the entire process and we constantly said “Thank God we hired Joan!” This was especially the case on the actual wedding day. Joan handled everything so that we got to be present with our family and friends as we were getting ready and during the actual ceremony and reception. It’s hard to explain how important it was to just know someone else was handling everything. She made sure everyone was doing what they needed to so I didn’t have to. And she does this all with grace and calm. The other thing I didn’t realize about hiring a high-quality professional like Joan is it means you get access to her vendors. Everyone Joan brought in was a professional, did great work and was really pleasant to work with. To sum it all up, if you are even considering hiring a wedding planner, do it. And definitely hire Joan if you want a professional who executes flawlessly regardless of your wedding vision and is fun and easy to work with.
Joan Glenn and the 6 Degrees of Celebration team are the best. Our wedding was magical in so many ways. Joan attended to every detail of our special day and was an absolute pleasur...
e to work with. Joan made planning our wedding a delightful experience. She was with us every step of the way and was always available to answer questions and provide recommendations. Joan helped us shape and execute the vision we had in mind. Every detail was perfect! I highly recommend Joan and her team. She made our day so incredibly special. She is the best, look no further!
When we first began the process of planning our wedding we went back-and-forth with the idea of hiring a wedding planner. After meeting Joan we knew right away she was the right p...
erson for us. We had a short period of time from engagement date to wedding date so making sure that we were kept on track was of upmost importance. In addition, having just moved into a house we knew that there was going to be a lot going on in our lives outside of just planning our wedding. From large details to minute details Joan was really on top of everything and always had us at ease throughout the entire process. The best thing I can say is that at the end of everything one of the first things my wife and I said to each other was that we were so glad we hired Joan as there is NO WAY we would’ve been able to pull off the amazing wedding that we wound up having on our own. We cannot thank Joan enough for everything that she did for us and I absolutely without hesitation would recommend Joan to anyone in the area looking to hire a wedding planner. She truly is the best of the best.
I couldn't recommend Joan more! I was a bridesmaid in a wedding that she did, and I had to have her for my own the following year. She is just fabulous and has such attention to ...
detail, everything came together flawlessly. She helped us book all of our vendors and made all of our wishes come true for our big day. She was there every step of the way to offer expert advice and opinions. She is calm, cool and collected. Your wedding planning should be fun, not stressful! We honestly could not have done this without Joan. Thank you Joan!!!!!!
Joan -
This wedding weekend was just the most incredible event of our lives, and all of the credit belongs to you. Having you by my side was more comforting to me than having my...
bridesmaids there, or even my parents. All I had to do was see your face, and see how calm you were, and know that everything was going to work out. I never could have imagined a more flawlessly coordinated event if I scripted it myself. I sincerely hope that we remain in contact, and that our relationship doesn't end here now that the wedding event has.
I cannot wait to spread the word about 6 degrees -- I have to be honest with you, my dad was a bit skeptical of the whole idea of a wedding planner at the beginning of everything (over a year and a half ago - can you believe that?). But let me tell you, if you could have heard him over the past few weeks, and this morning especially, he could not stop singing your praises. My whole family is so touched by everything you've done for us, and how effortless you made it seem.
It's been our honor getting to know you and work with you - you never once made us feel that this was business, or run of the mill. You always treated our wedding as personal, special, and a truly remarkable event. Just listening to our guests recounting the event over brunch this morning really says it all.
Much Love, Louise
Hi Joan,
Hope you are doing well. Al and I wanted to let you know that our wedding day was flawless because of you. Your calm demeanor and attention to every detail not only imp...
ressed the two of us but also our parents, members of the bridal party, vendors, and some guests.
The best part for me personally was that I was able to basically hand over all of my hard work from the past year without worry. Al and I are perfectly delighted that everything went so smoothly and that we both were able to enjoy one of the most special days in our life. And that means more to us then you may know. You have a special place in our hearts and thank you for everything!
We would be happy to recommend 6 Degrees to any inquiring couples and certainly will recommend you to our friends and family whenever we have the chance. Hope you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving and upcoming holiday season! Thank you again!
Love,
Jenn
It is my pleasure to recommend 6 Degrees of Celebration and Joan Glenn. They were with us throughout the entire wedding planning process and we are so deeply appreciative of what...
they did to help us having our dream wedding, including:
• Expertise and Judgment: Joan is a true master in this space, both in knowing what works and doesn’t work in wedding design as well as knowing exactly when and how to help us leverage her expertise to make the best decisions possible for our wedding
• Project Planning: Joan managed our timeline with precision and professionalism. We felt in trusted hands throughout the entire planning process, knowing that if there was anything urgent that we had missed, Joan would keep us on track and focused on the top priorities in each stage of the planning process. She shared with us tools and checklists that helped us immensely with managing all the details of
• Personal Attention and Care: We had a relatively short timeline to plan our wedding and both were holding down very demanding jobs. Joan understood our circumstances and we felt truly supported cared for throughout.
• Professional and Perfect Down to Flower Petal: Joan and here team were flawless in their on-site execution. All the pieces we had been envisioning and preparing for came together precisely the way we had envisioned. They were tireless, professional, personal and you could feel the focus and commitment in their actions throughout the wedding weekend to helping us creating our perfect wedding experience.
• Vendor Management: Joan helped us connect with a dream team of vendors, from the photographer to the DJ to the florist. And she managed those relationships with such poise and respect, that I’m convinced that part of why they all were so remarkable in the roles they played in our wedding, was because they truly were committed to Joan and did not want to disappoint her.
Our expectations were so high for what our wedding could be, as I imagine is the case so often for couples. Joan and 6 Degrees of Celebration exceeded our ridiculously high expectations. It is without reservation that I recommend Joan and her entire organization. The beautiful and actually magical wedding experience we had was because of them.
Joan Glenn and her team are the absolute best! I cannot thank 6 Degrees of Celebration enough for helping to create an unforgettable wedding weekend for our family and friends! 6 D...
egrees of Celebration made planning our wedding a special experience. Joan organized a team of talented vendors to execute our wedding day vision (which was full of details) and they all nailed it! It's a great feeling knowing you have a planner that is dedicated to you and works diligently to ensure your wedding day is perfect. Thank you for making our wedding day so incredibly special (and stress free)! Xoxo
Joan Glenn is the Rolls Royce of wedding planners!! I could not recommend 6 Degrees of Celebration enough. Joan was there to help us every small step and large milestone along our ...
18-month planning journey - from timelines to vendor contracts - nothing was overlooked.
Joan's team alleviated every ounce of stress throughout our big day. Her management of all our vendors down to the minute resulted in a seamless wedding day. Joans expertise allowed me, my Mom and my husband to enjoy our day without having to worry about ANYthing else.
The best thing any bride-to-be could do is hire 6 Degrees of Celebration to help manage their special day!
Thank you Joan!!!
