Bride and Joy

outdoor wedding and reception at our home, I knew we needed an event coordinator so that everyone could enjoy the day. Via a referral from another vendor, I reached out to Jes Frank of Bride and Joy. After our conversation, I knew she was the lady for me! Jes is kind, easy to work with, networked in the wedding industry and can make other referrals and suggestions to get the process started. Jes will keep your vendors organized, she will come to rehearsal to walk everyone through the ceremony and she will be there on the wedding day to make it flow seamlessly. You will discover later that she took care of things that you never even knew happened...as it should be. Jes and her assistant Emi were busy behind the scenes making the day and evening unfold. I never worried about anything-Jes and Emi kept it running on course. I recommend scheduling a phone consultation with Jes and letting her help you-it will ease your mind and allow you to enjoy your big event.

t), but Emi and team knew exactly how to handle it all with grace, humor, and this calm confidence that kept us grounded. The whole team made us feel so taken care of—not just in the “everything ran perfectly” way (which it did), but in a warm, human, "we got you kind of way". They truly showed up for us in every possible way. If I could get married every weekend just to work with them again, I would. No hesitation. Bride & Joy squad- you’re forever in our hearts. THANK YOU for making our day magic—we’ll never forget it. xoxo Mrs. CMT

with them. We also rented some items and Jes was so helpful getting everything organized. I would recommend this company to anyone having a wedding near Culpeper!

e whole wedding! Jes was an absolute gem from the moment I met her when visiting her warehouse to see the rentals in person. Her sweet and helpful vibe is genuine and you can tell she truly cares about the people she is working with. You can trust that by booking with Bride and Joy you will be in the best hands! Even as my bartender, Jes went above and beyond, helping bustle my dress and making sure I was always taken care of. Jes and Mel took care of everything flawlessly: setting up decorations, unloading, and loading everything back up afterward. My guests couldn’t stop raving about Jes and Mel—they were so sweet, attentive, and made sure everyone was taken care of. They were by far my husband and my favorite vendor ❤️❤️❤️ I can’t recommend Bride and Joy enough for coordination services, bartending, and rentals. Within all the stress of a wedding I felt like anytime I was chatting with them or they were checking on me they brought me peace.

ok at all of the decor items. Jes was so so helpful throughout the planning process, she answered all of my questions and shared her recommendations for what would work best for our venue. The Bride and Joy team was so great, they really helped our vision come to life! Also, bartending services were AMAZING! Bride and Joy made everything so easy and seamless! Shout out to Mel, she was the best! We loved our personalized cocktail tasting which helped us choose our unique signature cocktails, they were so delicious! Our guests loved them everything! Highly recommend Bride and Joy!

to do most of the planning ourselves, Jes's month-out coordination was just perfect. The last month of wedding planning is extremely hectic and challenging -- there are so many tiny details that need attention -- and it can be really overwhelming. THANKFULLY we had Jes! We may have had a lot to do, but her help and focus allowed us to relax more rather than be stressed with it all. Jes was super involved and helpful the week of the wedding too; we had questions for her almost every day, and she kept us excited and calm through it all. On the wedding day itself, Jes was a superstar. I mean, really, I don't know how she did it all. She kept us on schedule without any kind of stress or time pressure, she worked tirelessly with the other vendors to make sure everything was near perfect, and she had the bubbliest demeanor all day long -- relieving us, our wedding party, and our families of any nerves. My mom still talks about how amazing Jes was, and I couldn't agree more. Plus, her rentals were absolutely GORGEOUS and really brought our wedding + reception to a new level of beautiful. Our guests loved the couches especially :) Do yourself a favor and book her today!

g all the mixers and acoutrements for perfect signature cocktails and other drinks for our guests. The bar tenders were very professional and very fun during the event, not to mention true mixologists! Our guests loved them! Great communication and flexibility made working with Bride and Groom Optimal. They took all the stress off me. I hightly recommend!

r day was absolutely perfect. There was absolutely no stress and being a DIY bride, Jes made sure my vision came to life! She was right by my side whenever I needed her even before I knew I needed something! I definitely would not have survived my wedding day without Jes and truly can't thank her enough for her hard work throughout the whole process!

spoke until after the wedding. This is the second wedding she has been our wedding coordinator and totally recommend her and all her staff.

uestions and adjusting our order a few times over email. I loved the opportunity to visit their warehouse and do some preliminary mockups of décor while I was figuring out my wedding vision - they have tons of stuff there!

king sure everyone is on schedule. I also got rentals from Bride and Joy and everything looked beautiful.

were assigned may have had a little too much on her plate as details of our day and other weddings were frequently being mixed up during meetings. However, on the day of they knocked it out of the park! We almost had to change our entire wedding plan day of due to rain. Hannah did everything she could to make sure we had the dream day we intended outside. She also handled every aspect of cordination with each vendor, so I did not even have to lift a finger day of. She even went so far as to have drinks and appetizers waiting for the groom and I after our photos. In addition to all of the cordination during the event, she helped cordinate clean up. As far as our rentals, I highly reccommend using a rental service for the decorations on your wedding day. You can get beautiful decor for a fraction of the price of buying the items straight out. Bride and Joy's selection had everything we could have dreamed of and more. And in addition to her amazing cordination skills, Hannah assisted with the decorating! The one downfall is the rental website is finicky and it is really difficult to change an order once you have it set.

ions, possible issues, rentals, etc and she made it all happen! My other daughter is getting married in May 2023 and I wish we could have Jes coordinating again, but it’s out of state. If you are getting married and want a perfect experience, you need Jes Frank and Bride and Joy Weddings to be there for you!

ything and everything. She was so sweet to surprise me with some things on my wedding day that I had mentioned I liked but had decided wasn’t in the budget, that is something I will never forget and will always appreciate! I hired Bride & Joy for Decor Setting, Calligraphy, Florals, and Bar. Every single service went above and beyond my expectations. seriously a total package of perfect that made my wedding turn out to be everything I could have wanted it to be - beautiful, elegant, and fun :)

anding beside you on your special day! We used Bride & Joy for all our wedding needs (coordination, rentals, flowers, calligraphy and bartending). When I say that they are the reason our wedding was absolutely perfect, I mean it. Each member of Jes's team took our vision and brought it to life. My husband and I cannot recommend them enough! Thank you, Jes, for EVERYTHING. xoxo

n Bride & Joy's fun selection of different decorations and added on several lawn games, which were a huge hit, some beautiful table runners, and a sign easel to our order. All of Bride & Joy's rentals were stylish and in great shape. Working with the owner, Jes, was a breeze — she was lovely and very communicative and amenable to all of our requests throughout the whole process. We would highly recommend any couple to work with Bride & Joy for their wedding!!!

forting to this hot mess of a mama. Their attentiveness throughout the wedding day was beyond description. Jes and her staff went beyond any expectation to make not only Michaela and Peter feel incredibly special on their day, but Jes' attentiveness to the father and the mother of the bride left us speechless, and that’s a difficult task. The bar service as well as David and Oscar were phenomenal in every way possible. For David to recognize that I only made one trip to the bar was remarkable as he said he was looking forward to making me more of my favorite drinks (French 75! And he killed it). I am so thankful for your kindness throughout this whole process. If anyone uses another planning service, they will surly miss out on an exception experience. Thank you!

nk was who I needed to speak to and he was right! Her showroom had everything you could ever want to rent for a wedding. She helped us create 5 separate lounge spaces in the barn. We were then able to have one barn for dancing and music and one barn for relaxing with a drink or cigar. It was an absolute hit and people loved it. Jes was so easy to work with and gave us great ideas! We also were able to book our bartenders Meli and Harold through Bride and Joy. They did an outstanding job of serving everyone and were such a great couple! The wedding was a huge success and Bride and Joy played a big part of making it a great day!

She did not hold back on making sure every tiny detail was how it should be and kept all of the bridal party in-line (which was a task in itself). She was the perfect person to make the perfect day! Thank you for everything Jes & Team!

rgeous. The spicy margarita I asked for ended up being the best I’ve ever had! They even went above and beyond and took the time to cook the jalapeños overnight and make their own simple syrup. The communication and creativity from this team is superior. They exceeded our expectations!

y to use and had the exact items we needed and various options to choose from. Easy and quick communication to pick up/drop off the items.

ceived so many compliments on how beautiful our decor + tables looked, and that credit only goes to Bride + Joy! The quality of the rentals couldn't be beat, and Jes is hands down one of the most fantastic humans I met. I had a terrible coordinator + florist experience, and Jes helped me navigate it beautifully, going far and above what she needed to do! They have rentals for every wedding aesthetic that a couple could dream of, and helped us stun our guests. Jes - you have clients FOR LIFE!

nding service. Jes' team is also FANTASTIC! They made my wedding weekend worry-free & so much fun. Shout out to Lynsey, and our amazing bartenders Mini Lee and Oscar. Hire them!!!

des. From the moment we signed the contract until after my daughter and new son-in-law got in the car and drove away she was an absolute blessing. I never turned to her with an issue that she didn't almost immediately get back to me. She is a consummate professional who helped us navigate the first wedding for our family with style and grace. We even received a 10% discount from one of our vendors when they found out Jes was our coordinator because they love working with her! And her assistant Lynsey handled a last minute bridal hair fiasco and an almost bridal meltdown with such poise, Lynsey for the win! These two women ran that wedding like maestros and I never had to do a thing except enjoy myself. I have two more daughters and can only hope Jes will still be doing this so we can work together again. Two weeks after the wedding Jes is still emailing to follow up on some personal things that happened to our family immediately preceding the wedding and it says everything about who she is.

l items they rented to us, and the great service of Mini and Roger when they delivered our items day of were all exceptional! We hope to work with this company again and would recommend them to anyone!

tivity was cleared out from the childcare space and checked in throughout the night to make sure we were good. We also got to see how everything ran smoothly with their clients wedding as well. So beautiful! We can’t recommend a better team to work with to plan your wedding 👍🏾👍🏼👍🏽.

ions in every regard. Jes and her team made our wedding truly special and everything was perfect.

scrolling through inventory on what felt like hundreds of rental sites, I finally found Bride & Joy. They had every single decor item I wanted, plus they provide delivery, setup/breakdown, and calligraphy services. Jes was so easy to work with and had lots of great ideas for table settings and how to arrange the ceremony and reception decor around the venue. Everything turned out beautiful thanks to Jes and her team! Their delivery and setup services relieved me of so much stress on my wedding day, I would highly recommend renting with Bride and Joy!

mix of ideas and she understood our vision perfectly. We came up with exactly what we wanted our tables to look like on the spot! Our wedding day turned out perfectly and we received so many compliments about every detail, including the calligraphy table numbers. Everything was such a great experience, our day was a dream, and we highly recommend Bride and Joy!

knowledge. She was upbeat, helpful, and we would work with her again in a heartbeat to make any event gorgeous and less stressful!

I signed up for the additional package with the Refinery to get all of the B&J services and products. The add on included decor, bartenders, bar stuff like cups, mixers, etc., signage, seating, and more than I can even write here. The partnership is seamless and it makes the day so much easier when vendors are in sync. Value Cost - The additional package mentioned above and the quality of their decor is amazing. Fantastic Staff - I told Jes and her team what I wanted and they made exactly that happen. In addition, they also made amazing day of choices that honored my vision. The bartending team was amazing and calligrapher Megan was awesome as well. Selection - Their selection and exceeded my expectations. Their website highlights all that you can rent but they are always adding more and working on social media to keep with current trends. They had everything I wanted. USE BRIDE AND JOY. I highly recommend you book with them and the Refinery to get the best value but if not, using bride and joy at least you will have an amazing day!!

we loved. They both worked hard to make sure our wedding day went off without a hitch. Jes was able to work seamlessly with our other vendors to make sure everyone was on the same page. All of the rentals that we used from her shop were high quality and in great condition. The Fletcher loveseat we rented was very comfortable and had nice back support, which was great for all of the standing and dancing we did! We really enjoyed working with Jes and the Bride and Joy team.

gorgeous. The day of picking up the furniture, my friend and my mom's bf came with me to load up the furniture. We walked in for the first time to Jess’ showroom looking closer at many of the items that I had rented or even considered renting, I realized that many were damaged. The employee stated that the items looked rough. One item in particular, the connect four game looked like it was going to fall apart at any moment. The employee said that my husband should bring his toolbox and just fix it if it falls apart. I did not realize he went to school with my husband 12 years ago. I considered this comment incredibly inappropriate, considering it was our wedding day and that this rickety item is the last thing my husband should be concerned with. We loaded the truck, and drove back home to load up the rest of the truck. When we got home, I was able to more closely look at the items to realize that there were pieces hanging off of the bottoms, the chairs were wobbly, the yellow chairs looked like they had been glued back together on the top, and so much more. The blue chairs in particular were DESTROYED. One blue chair had a burn mark on the seat, and both collectibly had what looked like cat scratches all over, as well as pilling. This was not mentioned in the description on the website. I do not know if the owner just does not check her items regularly enough to review the item quality or not. However she does not live in Culpeper but a different city. She messaged me hours later and I told her I wished I had known how poor the quality of the items were before we rented them. There is a difference between vintage and destroyed. My husband and I were upset for not only the quality of the items but the comments made. When I told the owner about the comments, as well, she then said her employee would never say that to me, accusing me of lying. She messaged me back and told me she reached out to the employee and he had told her what he said was meant to be a joke because he knew my husband in highschool. Highschool was a long time ago and the comments were not appropriate given the situation. Jess then asked what she could do to make it better, which we appreciated, but she did not apologize for accusing me of lying or for the poor quality of her items. She also didn’t mention if she would get rid of the items for future weddings, but I hope she did. I did not use half of the items we rented in the wedding, the pink chairs - which we did use- were covered by blankets most of the time. This was due to the fact I did not want to look back at my wedding pictures and see the poor quality in fine detail. My older guests who sat on those chairs, actually made jokes about how I could have found all these items on the side of the road or near dumpsters due to the quality and shakiness of the chairs. They were actually afraid to sit on them but chose to laugh about it. And those ones I considered the most okay/fine of the group. Jess was kind enough to refund me for the blue chairs. All in all, going forward, I would suggest looking at the items in person before you even consider using them. Maybe even go thrift store shopping/DIY or go dumpster diving. Below are the items I ordered vs what I received. I wish I had taken more to show the quality of all the items.

gave a checklist of things to take care of over the time leading up to our wedding. Jes provided a vendor list and we hired the DJ she recommended which was a huge help and worked out wonderfully. Bride & Joy also does rentals which is very convenient. We rented some yard games for cocktail hour and our head table. She made me, the bride, able to be relax and enjoy my wedding day knowing everything else was taken care of. Jes and her team made our wedding day so seamless. Jes was able to handle family questions/ requests In a professional way while keeping the bride & groom as priority. We highly recommend using Bride & Joy for your wedding, you won’t regret it!

nough! She made sure the entire day run smoothly and we stayed on time for everything! If something did go wrong, I did not know about it and that’s the way it should be! Jes was fantastic about communicating with all of our vendors and making sure my now ~husband~ and I had a great time! Thank you Jes!!

to make your vision come true! I loved working with her and her team. I would highly recommend Bride and Joy!!!

ing work and final look. Can't recommend them enough!

phy. Jes was absolutely unbelievable and made our wedding everything that we had imagined. She communicated with our vendors and made sure everyone was on schedule. She decorated the venue beautifully!! Everyone loved the bartenders Oscar & Mini. They were so amazing and did a wonderful job with our signature cocktails! We cannot thank Jes enough for everything that she did for us. Our wedding day was perfect because of her. Every single person at the wedding mentioned how beautiful our venue was decorated. We are so lucky to have found her business and would recommend all of her services to everyone that is getting married!!!

that. I reached out and showed her what I had purchased and the direction I wanted to go and she quickly jumped in and gave suggestions to tie the entire look together including a table runner and chargers. Her advise and professionalism did not disappoint and our decor turned out more beautiful than I could have hoped for. I would recommend her team to anyone who needs help with design and also planning. Though they did not plan our wedding, I would trust them to do so based on the work they produced in designing. Thanks for everything and I hope to find more reasons to work together in the future!

ess. I almost shed tears. She went above and beyond to make sure everything came out perfect. She did things for me that I know only a small business owner who cares about that clients would do. Her attention to detail is impeccable. She is thoughtful, caring, and great at what she does. Don't even question if you should book her. Just do it. I promise you will not regret it. Thank you Jes for making my day special. You are a blessing.

nly say amazing things about this business. Affordable prices and beautiful decor!!! This company is perfect for rentals for weddings and parties! Will definitely be using again!!

e table numbers pretty and just what we neededl! We will definitely use Bride and Joy for future events as well!

I also used their calligraphy service to write my seating chart on giant mirrors at my reception, and they were so unique and elegant! To top it all off, Jes was so amazing to work with! She is so warm, calm, and professional all at once, and when we had to postpone our wedding due to COVID-19, Jes was flexible and supportive. She really made it as stress-free as possible to reschedule my wedding and make it look exactly how I had envisioned.

lan was just going to be renting some items from Bride and Joy. After speaking with her for 20 minutes I knew that I not only wanted her for her coordination services but NEEDED her. Up to the wedding day Jes and team helped design and make my wedding layout perfect. She helped manage and arrange the vendors and took all of my stress away. My wedding day was absolutely perfect and I attribute it to Jes and her team for making it run as smooth as it did. All of Bride and Joy’s rentals were absolutely stunning and having them set up and clean up was well worth it. If you are questioning if you need an event coordinator… you do. I didn’t realize until the wedding day all of the little details Jes took care of that I didn’t even think of. Jes is a dream to work with and worth every single penny. I am so thankful that I found her and she made my day so special.

en. Our intimate wedding was so dreamy and beautiful. I wanted to have a stress free day & bride and joy made that possible. Bride and joy made us feel like family and made sure we were taken care of. If you’re considering having them on your big day don’t think twice. Hands down the best team and would recommend to anyone! Sincere thanks and gratitude, Yajaira & Marvin Umanzor.
