House of Joy

sily anxious and stressed I can get and he wanted to minimize this as much as he could knowing I am a medical student and already had a lot on my plate. My husband is one to do extensive research on just about anything he buys, so I never second guessed his recommendation to hire Samantha. Samantha and her team began working on my wedding before I even had a date set, or a venue picked out. Her hard work only continued to surprise me even more from there. Like I said, I am very busy being a medical student and I was initially worried about the small details and choices I would need to make. Samantha and her team made this as easy as possible for me! They carefully crafted ideas and suggestions for me based off of questions I answered for them, or photos I had sent them. I never worried about caterers, photographers, rentals, etc. She gave me a list of options every time and I picked from there. I also want to mention how flexible she is. I know that she works very hard throughout the year for many other couples on their big day and she never once made me feel like I was less of a priority to other couples. My husband and I live in a different city than the venue where we had our wedding and Samantha made meetings easy through phone calls, emails and video chats! Come wedding day I had so many people tell me they were so surprised with how relaxed I was the day of. That's simply because I had no doubt in my mind that we were in good hands. She took the time to make sure every single detail was special for my husband and I. She even set aside special time for my husband and I to savor the day alone from the crowd. If you are looking for a team to wow you in ways you didn't think were possible, I highly recommend Samantha Joy Events. Ps. my father has already started talking about hiring her for his 50th birthday soon, that's how much he loved working with them!

does SO much more than that. We had a wedding that was perfectly us in every way possible, all thanks to Samantha and her team. From the beginning, Samantha took the time to truly get to know us. Not once did she ask us to share dream wedding inspiration or show her elements of other weddings we enjoyed. Instead, she asked about our interests, hobbies, and how we wanted our wedding to feel. She asked how we decorate our home, places we like to travel, and colors that bring us joy. By the end she knew our style better than we did. She took my love of sprinkles (I’m obsessed!) and turned it into an elevated theme woven throughout our day. The executed design was stunningly beautiful and uniquely us. Not only did she design the perfect day, but her industry knowledge is unmatched. At one point our venue told us they would not be able to setup 3 large farmhouse tables for our head table because of a logistical issue. Without the SJE team my husband and I wouldn’t have pushed back on the venue because in our minds, “it couldn’t be done.” Samantha offered 3 solutions on the spot, advocated for what we wanted, and ultimately found a way to make the tables a reality. The morning of the wedding Sam was there early to make sure hair and makeup were running smoothly. She checked in with my husband and I multiple times throughout the day – to check our nerves, to make sure we ate, to tell us where we needed to be next. She seamlessly managed our room flip and coordinated all vendor drops offs and setup. She bustled my dress and allowed us a moment alone to soak in the newlywed feeling. Honestly Samantha was everywhere you didn’t know you needed her. Her attention to detail, eye for design, and get it done mentality combine to make the perfect planner. Oh, and her planning platform is incredible! There is a task-by-task checklist, interactive seating chart, budget planner and SO much more included. It helped us stay on task each month to make sure all deadlines were met. The first person you should call as you start planning is Samantha Joy Events, no questions asked. I HIGHLY recommend her!

g. It’s stressful. There are common mistakes that are super easy to make. So if you’re going to invest your money, time, and effort into such a big day, do yourself a favor and book SJE. They’ve been through it all before and will take your abstract ideas and transform them into an incredible event. Samantha and her team also execute very well on the day of, alleviating as much stress as possible from an already stressful time. On the big day, instead of you or a family member coordinating between the venue, hotel, shuttles, caterers, DJs, photographers, etc – all of that is handled. You and your family get to relax and watch as the day you’ve worked towards unfolds with you along for the ride. They keep the schedule, make things happen, and work through any issues that arise. At one point on our wedding day, shortly before the guests were supposed to arrive, we heard from the transportation company that the buses would not be dropping people off at the venue’s entrance. Instead, they were going to unload them at the end of the very long gravel driveway leading up to the venue (the drivers were wary of navigating the gravel, though it hadn’t been a problem before). This would have been an inconvenience at best and a real issue at worst for some of our older guests with mobility issues. As soon as we learned this, we relayed it to Samantha, she replied with “I’ll take care of it”, and that was everything. Her team figured things out with the transportation company and the guests got dropped off where they were supposed to. Instead of worrying, we got to stay in the moment and focus on enjoying the day. Working with SJE was one of the best decisions we made in bringing our wedding to life – we owe that day’s success largely to them. If you’re on the fence, I suggest you give Samantha a call. Having them in your corner is like an insurance policy that everything you put into that day will be worth it. I couldn’t recommend them more!

go well. After quickly realizing we needed help, we contacted Samantha and had our first consult. My husband and I both loved her. She took our ideas and made them realities. First, she had us do a pin board of ideas, vibes, colors, etc. that we liked. Mine was unusual. It had pictures of forests, cottages, herbs drying up in farmhouse kitchens, twinkle lights lighting mossy stone walkways….you get the idea. Samantha turned that into an actual theme of enchanted forest and went with it. We ended up with greenery on almost every surface and candles lighting things like fireflies. We wanted pie rather than cake, and she suggested hand pies for guests (and when our baker ended up not being able to make the pies at the last minute, she jumped in and fixed it so we didn’t have to worry about it). We wanted our dogs involved somehow too. So, Samantha suggested an amazing local artist who made lifelike replicas of them that became part of our entry way decor. Samantha handled details, kept us sane, and made sure we were aware of all our options during the entire process. She kept our goals at the center, and made sure that we were always taken care of. Whether it was dealing with a slow-responding vendor or an unclear quote, Samantha handled it with grace, poise, and determination. Even when we had to postpone the wedding due to covid, she handled the changes with an impressive amount of skill. Samantha guided us through it while minimizing stress. On the day of the wedding, Samantha and her team rallied and somehow went even further above and beyond. She directed us through everything, giving directions and making sure that I was taken care of. She handled the last minute emergencies deftly and quickly, and always took the time to check in. It seems like a small thing, but she even make sure I was fed throughout the day. That was incredible, because I know a lot of brides that end up basically not eating on the day of the wedding. The first time I saw the inside of the tent, I actually cried a bit. It was beautiful. Samantha set up a sneak preview for us before the ceremony. We did first look pictures, and she led us (eyes covered) to the tent. My husband and I got to explore the tent before the guests, and even had a practice first dance (with snacks!!) on our own. During the ceremony, Samantha and her team kept everything going smoothly. It was honestly seamless. I have a medicine that I have to take at a specific time each night, and warned Samantha ahead of time. At that time, she showed up with my pill case and a glass of water standing by my side, handed them to me, waited for me to take the medicine and the water, and then melted into the crowd. At the end of the night, she packed us up and sent us home feeling like we were on top of the world. Honestly, the night was the best night I’ve ever had. I felt like an actual princess, and that was thanks to Samantha and her team. I cannot count the number of people that have said that they loved it and thought it was one of the best weddings they’ve ever been to. And I heard the same thing from the people actually involved in the wedding party/immediate family as well. I would 100% recommend hiring her. Seriously, she’s worth it.

way-- picked out a beautiful venue (the Peterloon), photographer, videographer, tent, etc. Choosing these vendors took hours and hours, and was tough to incorporate into my already busy schedule as a physician. I quickly realized we needed help, and reached out to Samantha. This was easily the best decision of our entire wedding process. If you think you can do it without a planner, I would strongly reconsider sooner in the planning process rather than later. During our first meeting with her, she brought up so many vital details we had not even *considered*-- we knew we needed her by our side right away! Samantha made the rest of the vendor selection process a breeze, recommending excellent florists, fantastic musicians/bands, beautiful hair/makeup, specific rental vendors, rehearsal dinner venue spaces, etc., all specifically tailored to our style. One reason I wished I had reached out to her sooner was that I *really* wanted a sailcloth tent, however it was $17K. She already knew of one that was about a third of that price, but unfortunately I had already booked a tent. This is just one example of how a wedding planner actually SAVES you not only time and sanity, but also money! Even if you have the ability to find all your own vendors, it's actually the coordination between/among the vendors, and all the logistics in the months leading up to the wedding, on the day of the wedding, and in the days AFTER the wedding (did you realize the sheer amount of things *after* the wedding that must be coordinated?! I certainly did not) that are vital to have a planner like Samantha manage. Honestly, I cannot even begin to describe everything Samantha took care of on the day of the wedding. And that's because it all happened being the scenes while WE ENJOYED OUR WEDDING DAY!!! Just a few examples of the details she took care of include: 1) setting up photo books from every year of our relationship, welcome book, and polaroid cameras (which migrated around the venue depending on where people were congregated), 2) realizing we had forgotten our cashier's check for our band (it was required, they would not accept a regular check), and then sending one of her assistants to go pick up the check FROM OUR HOUSE which literally saved the day, 3) having a special space for us to go after the ceremony, complete with samplings of each appetizer just for us. Overall, we cannot recommend Samantha more highly. The one thing I would change is booking her full planning package rather than partial planning-- it would be worth every penny.

and they did a MAGNIFICENT job! Samantha coordinated and communicated with vendors, provided a detailed timeline for the day, and spent the entire day with us to see that everything ran smoothly. When my daughter ripped her dress shortly before the ceremony, Samantha swooped in with her tool box and saved the day by repairing the dress. Having Samantha and her team with us enabled all of us to thoroughly enjoy the day and let go of any stress. I highly recommend Samantha Joy Events.

we were very thankful to have her. She made this unfortunate scenario go as smoothly as possible and was very supportive. Samantha takes time to get to know you as a couple. She does an impeccable job at making your day feel like YOUR day. She designed an event at The Transept that reflected our styles with the exact ambiance we were looking for. Samantha also does an exceptional job of recommending quality vendors. She professionally collaborates closely with each of them. This made our wedding day go so smoothly. Many of our guests were impressed with how seamlessly everything flowed and how cohesive the design was. My husband and I along with our families were able to enjoy the day without worrying about a thing. I highly recommend hiring Samantha and her team for your event. You will be in good hands!

sign - I gave her a few design elements and let her run, and she exceeded my expectations and MORE! I truly got to enjoy my engagement because I knew Samantha would take care of anything wedding related. A few examples: - I really respect Samantha's ability to work with vendors and offer up her ideas an opinions. I truly believe Samantha pushed our vendors to be the best they can be and step out of their comfort zone to create an incredible event! - We actually lost power on our wedding day, and SJE kept me calm and grounded! - Our day was truly the hottest in existence. She made many adjustments to protect the florals, cake, us, and the guests! - There were so many things that I never even thought of that she covered: event run throughs many weeks before, tents for fans, posing tips, cute bar signs, an incredible checklist, and so much more. I was star struck by my own wedding and her design. - I work a few jobs and didn't want to be doing wedding things my whole engagement. She kept us on track without bugging us! I will book SJE for any birthdays, anniversaries, showers, corporate events, etc in Chicago or Cincinnati. I trust her with all of my being! Samantha, thank you for your patience and kindness. My guests are truly still raving about our wedding and it is all because of you! Thank you SO much!

st and other tasks! She coordinated with all of our vendors to ensure a seamless production; her event timeline was extensive, and she took the time to learn about and include the cultural aspects of our South Indian wedding which we very much appreciated! On the wedding day, we were able to relax and enjoy the day because of the work that Samantha had put in before and during the wedding! She had backup plans A through Z for weather changes (which we appreciated with an unexpected thunderstorm during our wedding) and was ready to help fix broken jewelry, re-pin my outfit, and even remove rice from my hair before formal photos! We would highly recommend Samantha! We can't thank her and her team enough for making our wedding so much more than we could have ever imagined!

ted family crisis, Samantha was top notch and 100% on her game. She made sure we were on schedule with absolutely everything. The day of Samantha and her team were literal miracle workers from start to finish. My maid of honor's dress had a dress malfunction. Samantha fixed it. The guestbook accidentally got left in my car at the hotel. Her team was able to get it in time. Part of our ceremony set up fell right before the ceremony started. We had no idea, because Samantha and her team had sprung into action. During the reception, my dress was ripped due to my own clumsiness, Samantha fixed it. I would recommend Samantha and her team to ANYONE planning a wedding. The peace of mind you'll have with her team is priceless. Samantha and her team truly made our wedding day the absolute best it could be, and we will be always grateful.

to her events. She asked us about our backgrounds and favorite things and immediately had ideas on how to incorporate them into our day. She also had great vendor recommendations that matched our vision. We had our reception in a tent that needed to be built from the ground up. I had a vision of what I wanted the tent to look like and it exceeded my expectations. I cried when I saw it! Not only did Samantha work with our vendors on everything (electricity, lighting, draping, florals, etc.) but she was onsite at our venue the week of the wedding to ensure setup was going smoothly. It was so nice to not have to worry about this the week of our wedding knowing she had everything under control. She was also super flexible. We added an extra musical element a month before the wedding and she was quick to develop a plan to incorporate them. Samantha also helped us through postponing our wedding as a result of COVID. She was so supportive through the decision making process and once we decided to postpone, had potential dates and vendor availability to us in less than 48 hours. She made the postponement process seamless and quick. She also kept us up to date on all Ohio regulations and pivoted as needed. She had ideas and a plan A, B, C and D for everything! We would highly recommend Samantha and her team and can’t wait to use them again for future events! She was with us every step of the way for almost 2 years of planning and was one of the best investments we made. I feel like I could go on and on about how great she was, and the support and friendship she provided throughout the process.

r team made my family and I feel so cared for and relaxed. I genuinely was not worried for a second on wedding day and was able to be completely present, taking in each joyful moment. Not one person came to me or my family with a question or concern because I had Samantha and her team working hard behind the scenes to ensure everything was in order.  Here are a few specific examples of how Samantha and her team blew us away: * Created a gorgeous timeline handout and presented it at our rehearsal and provided each member of the bridal party with a copy  * Designed & printed our wedding programs   * Attended vendor meetings with us and advocated on our behalf when we felt uncomfortable  * Dug a walkway in the snow 10 minutes before I was due to walk down the isle so that I could enter the church through the front and not have to walk past guests  * Located my 7 year old daughter in less than 3 minutes when it was time for bridal party entrances and she was no where to be found * Samantha communicated with every single one of our vendors about details we desired and she coordinated day of logistics with them so I did not have to do a thing. Our wedding day ran flawlessly and I know it was because of them. She is 100% worth making room in your wedding budget for and I would recommend her to anyone.

lpful.

stress. Especially in the weeks leading up to big day! Her knowledge of the ever changing COVID situation was a huge help. If there were any problems on the day of the wedding I sure didn’t know about them, I got to enjoy the important things and not worry about the details. Her staff was very professional, things were just taken care of like magic.

control, and in vision every step of the way. I hope you are as happy and proud as I am with the outcome. I think the wedding turned out artsy, classy and fabulous, while being comfortable, safe and fun. I honestly still can't believe we pulled it off with as many hurdles as we encountered in those last few weeks, but we did! It was definitely 100% due to your leadership and networking skills that we were able to secure the best venue at an extremely reasonable price only two weeks before the wedding. Your vision board really captured my aesthetic and love for color while providing a reference point for vendor design decisions along the planning process. My mom, bridesmaids and I were able to bond over the experience of planning a wedding ( or three ) together with your help. Covid sucks. However, there's no way around it. I think we did a great job at keeping everyone safe and having a fun time celebrating our marriage. I just got the photos back from Jenna and I'm speechless. They are absolutely stunning. All of the vendors and all of the details just came out absolutely perfect. I was amazed by the "details" shots. The florals and rings and vow books look absolutely amazing and it truly captured the ombre effect that I wanted to represent the merging of two families. Even with the hiccups we experienced due to Covid and vendor changes, everything came out perfectly. I loved the acrylic arch and jaw dropping ombre tablescape. I think the end product actually captured the merging of two colors (or families) more than the original plan at the DAI ever could have. I wish more people could have been there of course, but that just wasn't in the cards due to the pandemic. I'm glad I didn't wait another year to marry Ian. We took lemons and made sweet lemonade. However, we couldn't have done it without you every step of the way! Thank you again for your hard work. It really showed. I would 100% recommend you to any bride. I wish you all the best and will continue to cheer on your business! If I have any events to plan, I will let you know.

ms come true!

band and I went to her for anything and everything and she had an answer for us. Her suggestions on vendors were great. After we had everything planned, COVID hit and we were devastated to move our wedding date. Samantha was so calm and got all of our vendors to switch dates on the same day the announcement was made that things were shutting down. When our wedding finally happened, we of course had to change things and Samantha and her team adapted and worked hard to make it all so seamless. We are so appreciative of the organization, thoughtfulness, and hard work that Samantha and her team put in to our special day. She made me feel beautiful the day of and I trusted her with everything. Right before I walked down the aisle, I thought I saw the plates I did not want and she said she would take care of everything. SJE is worth the money and I would do it all over again! There is no way I could have done it all myself. THANK YOU, SAMANTHA!

and the Equestrian was perfect. The owner Meghan was so accommodating and very friendly. I didn't really have a vision for the wedding, I just knew I wanted it to be fun, unique, and God honoring. She created something so beautiful and had everything planned to the very last detail. We received so many compliments from the flowers by FloralVDesigns (including one of our favorites the floral chandeliers), food by Bernsteins Catering, ice cream truck by the Rolling Oasis, to the simple table accessories by Swoon and Something Old Dayton, and the coverless, frame-only tent with bistro lights and chandeliers by Kosins. Samantha was very patient throughout the planning process as I didn't have a lot of strong details for the wedding, I redesigned my moms wedding dress with Van Lear Custom Couture, and when my husband wanted to make some last minute adjustments like adding a sparkler send off, she made it happen. And she expertly coordinated vendors, setup, and activities on both the rehearsal and the wedding days including making sure that during the wedding day my husband and I had alone time together - we even got to try the appetizers and signature cocktails! She worked great with our videographer Cole Carpenter, photographers Eastlyn and Josh Tolle, and our DJs with Liftoff Entertainment ensuring they had plenty of time in the schedule to capture the perfect day. She helped guide me through the whole wedding process even following up after the honeymoon. I would highly recommend Samantha Joy Events for wedding planning, she helped keep us on task with our timeline, reminded us of the budget, and made the day absolutely perfect!

complimentary ideas of her own ensuring us that she could get the job done and wanted to be the one to bring our vision to life. We knew right away that Sam's confidence and professionalism was exactly what we had been looking for in our wedding designer and planner! Sam got to work right away curating a list of destination wedding locations that aligned with our vision. We narrowed down the list and after an impromptu weekend road trip to Massachusetts we entered contract in late May for an October 12th wedding date at a dream venue, The Mount, Edith Wharton's Historical Home in Lenox, Massachusetts. If you do the math, that means Sam provided full planning services for our intimate wedding in less than four months! Throughout the planning process, Sam connected Andrew and I with such incredible vendors including Design House of Moira who with Sam's design assistance created our stunning heirloom style invitation suite; Daisy Stone Studio who made art with flowers and brought to life our vision for an overhead floral installation for our dinner table; The Marketplace Catering who Sam convinced to prepare and serve us our dream fondue dinner having never done anything like that before; Jonathan Suters who provided beautiful music on the strings to enjoy for the evening; Peak Event Services who's rental selection was top notch; and we cannot forget the incredibly talented Megan Noll Photography who flew all the way from Cincinnati to capture our day only to drive through the night back to Cincinnati to capture another wedding the VERY NEXT DAY (Megan kept telling us how badly she wanted to photography our wedding but we didn't realize just how bad!). Without Sam and her industry expertise, Andrew and I would not have been able to work with such talented vendors to bring our dream wedding to life. Our wedding day was everything we dreamed of and more. Thanks to Sam's hard work and attention to detail, the day went off without a hitch. We can never say enough thank-you's to Sam and her team for the hard work and dedication in bringing to life our vision for our wedding day.

together for our December 28th 2019 wedding was incredibly overwhelming and challenging. Our main point of contact for our venue had changed multiple times, each time causing us headache and undue stress. My husband and I have some unique family situations that made planning our wedding a challenge. A few months in and I knew I needed some professional help planning! During my first conversation with Samantha, one of the main things I remember her saying was that it was one of her goals to make me, my husband and our families feel as if we were guests at our own wedding. It was also during this first conversation with Samantha that she was able to put my nerves at ease and reassure me that everything would come together beautifully. I knew then I was in the right hands. SJE was able to guide us through the entire wedding planning process, starting by having us create a Pinterest Board for our wedding. From there, Samantha put together a vision and aesthetic for our wedding day, something I had been unable to pinpoint on my own. We ended up settling on a modern, elegant, black and white scheme which tied in with our venue perfectly! After our initial conversations, Samantha connected us with tried and true vendors that suited our vision, removing the stress and hassle of having to interview multiples. I truly enjoyed our planning meetings with SJE, I felt more like I was meeting with a friend to chat about wedding planning. After each meeting with Samantha, she would give us a list of “bite-sized homework assignments” to check off our list by our next meeting. By doing this, we were able to accomplish the tasks at hand while never feeling overwhelmed and daunted. Another one of our goals for our December 28th wedding was for us all to be able to relax and enjoy the Christmas Holiday- which we were all able to do thanks to Samantha! As far as our wedding day was concerned, I can’t thank Samantha and her team enough! SJE provided both a production and event timeline for all of the vendors and the Wedding Party! No detail went unlooked. Trust in her process, trust in her experience and trust in the vision! After seeing the venue set up, we were floored! Everything was beyond expectation and far surpassed even my own vision! Throughout the planning process Samantha became a friend, a part of our family and my Fairy Godmother! Never once during the course of our wedding day did I have to worry about a single thing, from set up to event tear down, everything was executed flawlessly. SJE truly gave us the greatest gift- the ability to relax, celebrate and enjoy our wedding as if we were guests. My only regret is not hiring SJE sooner!

girl could ever dream of. Not only did Samantha listen to what I wanted but she had so many new and fresh ideas of her own to bring my vision to life. SJE was crucial when thinking about all of the logistics for the day and scheduling vendors, etc. Without Samantha, I would have spent my wedding week making sure that everything was ready to go according to plan but SJE took care of all of that leaving me to not have to worry about a thing. HIGHLY recommend Samantha and her team!!

d working unpredictable hours, Samantha kept me on track, focused me on priority items when the time came and made all of our meetings efficient. In the days leading up to the wedding, my parents and I found ourselves looking at one another and saying: "Can you imagine if we didn't have Samantha to help?" She coordinated all the vendors seamlessly, she designed, made and delivered all the hotel boxes and the seating chart, and she styled amazing flatlays for our photographer to capture all the details of the day. At the beginning of the ceremony, my exhausted flower girl started crying. Samantha swooped in and held her off to the side. The flower girl almost immediately fell asleep in Samantha's hug and the show went on. She made everything look effortless. As a result, I was able to enjoy my day and be 100% present with my family and friends for the entire weekend. I was never worried about whether a guest needed anything or whether I forgot to bring some item to the venue. Samantha had it under control. But that's not all. After months of me being precise/picky about my vision and style and bombarding Samantha with a lot of strong opinions, Samantha took us in for a room reveal before the reception. We were floored. My mom let out an audible gasp. Samantha created a gorgeous atmosphere that was full of details and completely and truly an authentic representation of us. Samantha brought my vision to life and she was practical, thoughtful and creative along the way. She always gave her honest advice, knew where to invest for the most impact and told me where I could cut back when a detail wouldn't be noticed. The day simply would not have been the same without her.

l time job in itself. I was so glad I hired Samantha and her staff to help me. She was a monumental help! Samantha was already working at another wedding on my date so she assigned Heather and Ashley to handle our wedding. At first I was worried that Samantha would not be there. But it was like she was! She was involved in the entire lead-up to the wedding and kept her staff very well informed. So the day of the wedding, everything ran very smoothly and it was just perfect... and I had more time to enjoy the day and visit with my guests. I would highly recommend Samantha Joy Events. I did a lot of research and talked to a lot of vendors before I made my decision to go with SJE. All of the vendors told me that she was the best Planner in the area. I would agree!

like if I had not used SJE. Knowing the correct vendors for our style was very important.With her help everything fell right into place.

A. In comes Samantha Joy Events to save the day! We hired SJE a year before our event for the partial planning and design package so that we could get the inside scoop on all the best vendors in the Greater Dayton Area. Before we started working with SJE, we spent so much time trying to figure out which vendors amongst hundreds would best fit our needs. Luckily, getting the design package allowed SJE to get a better idea of what style we wanted and then they would provide us with 2-3 vendors for that part of the event. We cannot tell you how many headaches this saved us. Not to mention that neither of us are really good at putting the whole picture together, and SJE's design board helped us get a visual for what we wanted our wedding day to look like. In addition, working with SJE took so much stress of our shoulders in the months and days leading up to our wedding. SJE's production and event timeline document was super extensive and allowed us to not worry about when this vendor or that vendor is arriving on our wedding day. This was something that we could share with our wedding party to quickly let everyone know where they should be and when. The day of the event was just another reminder of how wonderful SJE is with event planning. The way we felt and how little stress we felt more than met our expectations. We were totally engrossed in every moment of our day and didn't have a worry in the world besides enjoying each other's company on our special day. We loved working with the SJE team. Throughout the entire process, Samantha was the absolute perfect balance of friendly and professional. She guided us with every aspect of the wedding and we felt a great connection and friendship growing alongside. All of the services provided were priceless and we'd do the partial planning and design again (or more) in a heartbeat! -Zack and Vanessa Valigosky
