Joy n' Company

looked questions, all the way to the day. My wife and I got to fully enjoy the day with our family and friends instead of worrying about any of the logistics day of from vendors, to ensuring people were in the right place at the right time. I could not recommend a better partner to work with for what I would consider one of the most CRITICAL pieces of your wedding team to ensure that your day goes as perfectly as it can! Thank you Rachel!

on, and collaborative approach made our wedding day run seamlessly. We were able to fully enjoy our special day, knowing Michelle had everything under control. Our guests can't stop talking about how much they loved our wedding, and we know Michelle played a huge role in that. If you're looking for a coordinator who will make your day unforgettable, Michelle Searles and Joy n' Company are the way to go!

nce feel like nothing! Her and Amber her assistant were amazing on the day of. Everything went seamless and they were SO fun to have on board for our big day. I even forgot my suitcase back home, and Michelle went to the house to retrieve it for me!!! TOP NOTCH SERVICE!!! They made our dreams come true and we could not be happier with the service that was provided by Joy N' Company!! Y'all ROCKED IT!!! :)

ional, attentive, and incredibly organized, ensuring that every detail of the event was handled with care and precision. Rachel went above and beyond to ensure that our wedding went smoothly. She worked tirelessly to coordinate with all of our vendors, ensuring that everyone was on the same page and that everything was running according to schedule. She was always available to answer our questions and provided us with regular updates to keep us informed throughout the planning process. On the day of the wedding, Rachel was a true lifesaver. She was there from the beginning, making sure that everything was set up and ready to go. Throughout the event, she was constantly on top of everything, making sure that everyone was where they needed to be and that everything was running according to plan. She was also incredibly flexible, handling unexpected issues with ease and ensuring that they were resolved quickly and efficiently. Overall, I cannot recommend Rachel enough. She is a true professional who is dedicated to ensuring that her clients have the best possible experience. She went above and beyond to make sure that our wedding was a success and we are truly grateful for all of her hard work and dedication. If you are looking for a wedding coordinator who is organized, professional, and truly cares about her clients, Rachel is the perfect choice.

made sure to listen to everything I was particular about (with no judgment haha) and helped to execute my wedding day exactly as I had envisioned it. I would definitely recommend JNC for your wedding!

ale. She was an excellent listener and very flexible which was important so our daughter and future husband to be could have the wedding they dreamed of….Thank you Joy and Company for your expertise and professionalism…you helped to make the big day a huge success. The happy mother of the bride♥️

erything was running smooth and I had nothing to worry about!! I could not recommend her more!!

was a lot of people and most of them are hard to wrangle. My whole family and all the guests said she was so sweet and helpful. From the first phone call, I loved her, and each meeting made me feel more secure that the day would be perfect, and it was! Everyone told me that something bad would happen and to just breath through it, but nothing did and I attribute that all to how amazing Rachel and her Joy ‘n Company team were

o COVID and our hesitation to have a third. Best decision we could have done is have the wedding and have Rachel be our coordinator. We were so stressed leading up to the wedding and she was the best in helping us make some decisions and give us advice. The day of was SEAMLESS. Everything and detail was PERFECT. She is so professional but also just so nice and pleasant to be around. A calming character which is what you need for a busy day! Many of our friends and family commented with the same thing. A thousand recommendations to hire Joy n’ Company for your big day. Truly worth every penny!!

efore the event) and I found Rachel on Giracci’s instagram stories. Back then, I really wanted to find someone that had worked at this venue before because the venue is really big. During our first call, I knew right away that Rachel was exactly what I needed: Type A personality, professional, enthusiastic, positive, organised. In those 2 months she seamlessly took over everything and made me think of important details I oversaw during the planning process, especially details related to the venue. Her goal is to make your perfect day stay perfect. She will have your back no matter what happens. Everyone loved her personality including families and friends. The day of, I was very relaxed because I knew she had everything under control. Honestly, she was the best investment in our budget. I would recommend Rachel over and over. She is excellent at what she is doing. She will make your life easier and stress free so you can enjoy your special day!

he really made our stress and anxiety vanish with her positivity and professionalism. I would highly recommend Joy 'n Company to everyone! Thanks Rachel!!!

rvice was one of our most valuable purchases out of our entire wedding budget and I couldn't have imagined our experience without her. Rachel was professional, responsive, patient, detail oriented, and willing to go above and beyond. My Mom and I handled most of the planning process in partnership with Rachel and couldn't have asked for a better project manager and partner to bring our vision to life. She offered helpful feedback along the way to make appropriate decisions and prepare/plan accordingly. Not only is Rachel experienced and knowledgeable, but she is also well connected in the industry and local venues, which made her partnership with our other vendors (including our venue, photographer, and DJ) seamless. We have since recommended Joy 'n Company to our engaged friends and will continue to do so. Thank you for bringing our special day to life and helping minimize the stress and workload of planning a 100+ person wedding. - Aubrey & Anthony

lding out the timeline, giving us amazing advice for all of our questions and walking us through how the day will flow, to the rehearsal and literally everything the day of. Day of she managed all of the vendors flawlessly, didn't miss a single details, kept everything flowing on time, kept my mom very calm, and brought our vision to life to perfection. Also she is just the perfect wedding hype girl and so fun to be around! I can't recommend her enough!!!!

press his personal thanks. Michelle was our day of coordinator and assisted in designing the wedding as well. Virtually everything everyone warned us would go wrong never did because Michelle was on top of everything, even handling the family drama with ease! We were able to fully enjoy the day without worry. If you have doubts about Joy n Company or hiring a wedding planner in general, trust me, it is going to be the best money you spend on the entire wedding.

itial meeting I was ready to put my trust in her completely and I'm glad I did because it turns out I would postpone my wedding twice. During my two postponements, Michelle was there every step of the way. She recommended great vendors to help us make our day perfect. On our wedding day, Michelle tended to us (bride and groom) and made sure we had food, time to ourselves, and our drinks were full. On my end, our day went off without a hitch and it was absolutely perfect which really speaks volumes to what an excellent planner Michelle is. I'm sure there were some hiccups but frankly I don't know about them. Thanks Michelle for being the perfect Day Of Coordinator. As someone else who works in a job where "they never see you sweat" I really really appreciate you!!!!

e made sure the groom and I ate and had a minute to breath; she’s organized to infinite and beyond and it shows 100%! We are so grateful we had her for our special day! Thank you!!!!

tails. I really had the most seamless day and all I focused on was marrying my best friend! If you book Joy n' Company, you will be very happy and love working with them too!

y are by far industry leaders. Don't look any further... Book Joy N Co now! Eric Morales

t more like a friend. Aside from her professionalism she is one of the sweetest people I’ve had the pleasure of working with. From start to finish Rachel was very thorough which made tidying up the details of our wedding decor and timeline easy to navigate through, even when there was something that slipped my mind Rachel made sure I remembered, there wasn’t one thing she wasn’t on top of which made for such a nice wedding experience. Being a planner in life it was nice to have someone I could fully trust to execute my dream wedding flawlessly so I could sit back and enjoy every moment... and that’s exactly what happened. Our big day went off without a hitch! If you book JNC for your wedding you won’t be disappointed! THEY ARE THE BEST! ♥️

ought we could handle the work ourselves. Omg we are so thankful the day of coordination was required because it lead us to Joy N' Company and specifically Rachel Salas. Rachel ended up being the MVP for our entire wedding. Day of Coordinator is an understatement. She went above and beyond with being the organized support my husband and I needed. We constantly communicated via phone and email, while also having three in-person meet ups. Rachel was awesome in preparing a schedule for the big day, estimating how long each portion would take, and providing room arrangement ideas among other planning strategies. She was easy to work with, super friendly, had a positive attitude even with curveballs we brought, and she was always quick to respond. Well the weekend came and it all ran perfectly! The day prior to the wedding Rachel even met up with us to scoop up decorations, signs, table arrangements, photos, desserts, games we had custom prepared for the wedding. She insisted it would be taken care of and that to relax and focus on prep for your special day! Seriously, top class customer service and generosity. On our wedding day Rachel brought Emily to assist and they both worked so well with all our vendors to make The Casino San Clemente look and feel grand. Because we didn't do a rehearsal dinner, she even found time in the schedule to rehearse with all parties who were part of the ceremony. Everything went better than expected and we ended up always being ahead of schedule. My husband and I truly had a wonderful time throughout the day and never had to stress about anything. All of this is thanks to the amazing work of Rachel Salas and Joy n' Company!

t know what we would have done without her. She was so lovely and easy to work with, and even though she was just our day of coordinator she really went above and beyond. She came to meet us at the hotel in Laguna Niguel when we were getting ready, rode with me and my girls to the ceremony, made sure I got down the aisle and then took care of business back at LV for the reception. At the reception she constantly checked on us and kept us RIGHT on schedule so that we could get to dancing ASAP! During our planning process she thought of everything and kept all of our notes neatly organized. Never missed an email or text, even right after her maternity leave! It was so nice that she had worked with most of our vendors multiple times, so it helped to make things even more seamless the day of.  My husband and I highly recommend Michelle and JNC. We just love her and know that any future bride and groom will too!!

y! Her organization paired with her "all is good" attitude made the entire planning process a total breeze. Her execution was impeccable the day of while still making sure I was okay :) Having such confidence in our planner gave us all an amazing sense of peace! We are so thankful for Michelle and her talents--we wish we could do it all over again. Best day of our lives!!!!

nd beyond. We had several guests comment on how smoothly the ceremony & reception went and how well everything ran. We know from planning with Rachel behind the scenes that this was very largely thanks to her! We planned our OC wedding from across the country in NYC, and Rachel made everything seem doable and seamless. She paid attention to the smallest details that we wouldn't even know to think of, from start to finish. She also was great with our families, which included two nervous little flower girls. We could not recommend Joy n' Company enough!

booked the complete package with Joy n' Company and Michelle Searles was the absolute best. We met in person about one year before our wedding day and she was available via phone, email, and texts throughout the entire process. She gave the best advice and referred us to amazing vendors. Truly, without Michelle and her team, our wedding-planning process and wedding day would not have been as smooth and magical as it was. It was so much work, but her support made it realizable and an absolute joy. Honestly, I can't think of one negative thing that happened with any vendor because of her excellent referrals and teamwork with other vendors! We had a dream team to the max, and feel so grateful for Joy n' Company and their genuine passion for making it the best day ever for couples.

companies. I interviewed 9 of them...9!!! Just talking to Rachel over the phone once made me feel so comfortable. She listened to my concerns, understood my vision and didn't try to up sell me on anything. When it came time for our coordination meetings and phone calls, I felt so much better afterwards. Any issues I had, she had an easy solution to fix it. She helped recommend other vendors to us as well that were just as great. The last few weeks before the wedding, she was extremely helpful when it came to contacting all vendors, making sure final payments/details were set, etc. After the final walk-through, I knew that once the big day came, we would have nothing to worry about. Everyone kept telling us, "something will go wrong, be prepared" but we knew we were in good hands. Our wedding went off without a hitch and we owe it all to Rachel. She nailed every detail, kept everything on time and we can't thank her enough. Our bridal parties can be considered...hard to manage, haha...and she just made everything work so flawlessly. She was such an amazing support system throughout the process and day-of that I truly miss her already. She was such an important part our lives for a little over a year. Thank you, Rachel!

“day-of coordinator” she went above and beyond and was a HUGE part of our wedding planning. We cannot imagine our wedding planning without her, and it took a lot of the stress out of wedding plan knowing we were in such good hands. Michelle has the unique potent combination of being someone who is extremely experienced, reliable and responsive WHILE after all these years maintaining her passion and contagious enthusiasm and positivity. She was patient and responsive to all our questions, and was able to be flexible and supportive of our vision, while also providing guidance. She also has an organized system down for all the wedding day-of items so nothing falls through the cracks. As someone myself who is known to be detail-oriented, it was such a RELIEF knowing that someone else has all the details covered to focus on the many other components of wedding planning. Going with Joy n’ Company for our wedding planning and having Michelle as our coordinator was one of the best decisions and blessings of our wedding planning, and we cannot thank her enough. Simply amazing!!

oy n'Company walked me through every step. They covered everything in a way that made it fun, not stressful. On the day of, Rachel made the day go off without a hitch. She was calm and moved everything along seamlessly, if you are on the hunt for wedding coordinators, look no further, this team is amazing!

y one she makes you feel comfortable, is super professional, sweet and extremely knowledgeable! She is totally on top of her stuff AND your stuff! I am a control freak and it’s very difficult to give up control to anyone for any reason! Especially my wedding day but she truly made it easy on me! She took the time to understand our needs/wants and made them happen! I am a detail oriented person, and was in awe of every thing she did for our big day! She nailed my vision and put up with me AND my family which is NOT an easy job! Rachel, you are TRULY AMAZING and we owe our PERFECT day to YOU!! THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!! XOXOXOXOXOXOXOX

f every possible detail from start to finish with a smile on her face! Although we only used Joy n' Company for the day of, Rachel made herself accessible throughout the entire planning process. Her positive attitude, attention to detail, and seamless coordination skills make this team hard to beat. Wishing we could do it all over again to work with this amazing team!

rior to the wedding to iron out all of the wedding details & each time we met I was amazed by Rachel's level of detail and organization. There was not a single detail left unnoticed. The week leading up to my wedding, I was devastated to see that the forecast predicted rain on our wedding. Rain meant a lot of changes at this venue so I was FREAKING OUT. Luckily, Rachel and the team at The Villa had it all figured out. They kept me calm throughout the process, communicated with the vendors to make the necessary changes, and the day ended up being absolutely beautiful. Despite a little rain, I did not have the slightest bit of stress on the day of the wedding and this was largely due to Rachel! If you think you can do it yourself, or have someone else do your day-of-corrdinating for you, I would suggest you don't go that route. Rachel and her team know the Villa from the inside out & they are the best people for the job. Enjoy your special day to the fullest by having a stress free wedding with these girls as your go-to ladies! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

ura Event Center. After reading so many great reviews of Joy N' Company I decided to reach out to them. Rachel was so responsive and very knowledgeable, she set me up with a meeting with Miya and the rest is history. Our first meeting with Miya was great, I gave her every little detail of what I wanted on my wedding. Miya went above and beyond to make sure it was executed just as I had imagined it. She is extremely professional, responsive, hardworking and genuine. She made anything possible to make sure I was a stress free bride. She is truly a GEM!! I couldn't be any happier to have chosen Joy N' Company to be my side on such an important day. Miya really EXTRAORDINARY, I received so many compliments from my guests on how organized and beautiful my wedding was. I was engaged for almost 2 years, and ladies I went to sooo many weddings during that time and I was able to see all the things I didn't want for my wedding. I knew that I had to get a good team to meet my expectations. Miya you truly went above my expectations, any bride would be lucky to have you as their coordinator. Thank you for the amazing customer service and for making my dream wedding come true. - Kim & Mario

ears and throughout the entire process, Rachel made us feel totally comfortable, relaxed and excited for our big day. You always hear horror stories of brides + day-of stress, and that couldn't be further from the truth. Everything was PERFECT and now I'm begging my husband to renew our vows every year so we can work with Joy N Company again! ;)

all the stress out of planning our wedding. She ensured we were on track with our vendors, timelines, decorations, etc. and made sure we thought of every detail before the big day. She had brilliant ideas and solutions when we needed them, and I trusted her judgment implicitly when it came to decision making on our behalf. Michelle was a dream to work with on our wedding day! Her sweet and calming demeanor make her the most perfect coordinator. She is 100% organized and efficient, yet is totally attentive to her bride and groom at all times. Not only was Michelle the absolute best for all things coordination, she also helped tremendously with decor and bring my vision to life. I shared two photos of a sweet moment before guests arrived where she took me to see the finished product her and her team pulled together. Tears of JOY! We are so grateful to Michelle and Joy n' Co., and would recommend her to anyone who wants to have the best coordinator ever!

earles was beyond what we could’ve ever imagined as far as coordinating went. She went above and beyond to make sure that our special day was a dream come true, and that it was! Everything went so smoothly and perfect, we couldn’t have been happier! Her positive energy and encouraging words the entire process was exactly what we needed! We could not say enough wonderful things about her really! I would and have recommended her to all my friends who are looking for a coordinator! We love you Michelle!!!

process. I was hesitant and speculated at first when we found out that the venue had a fee associated to bringing in another wedding planner but after this experience...I totally get why Joy n' Company are the exclusiveley preferred in-house coordinators for the venue! Speaking to someone who has been the "honorary" planner for friends, family, and work events...I came from a marketing background where I need to be in control (even as a behind the scenes person). I always have a Plan A, B, C, etc. for each situation to ensure things turn out as perfect as possible, so having to hand the "baton" over was going to be a challenging, but I'm so grateful that I was able to trust Michelle who exceeded my expectations as my day of wedding coordinator. Michelle was on point from our first meeting to the day of execution. She listens to what YOU want while looking out for your best interests in any recommendations she offers. She is organized, reliable, patient (I had a million questions!), and most importantly...her positive energy is contagious and what you need to surround yourself with especially during this time that can be so stressful. In a nutshell...she's a go-getter and basically knows what she is doing so you are in good hands with her.

oordinator and she was with us every step of the way. She proactively set up calls with us and came prepared with to do lists and questions we hadn't even thought of before. As soon as we would get off the phone with her, I would see emails coming through from Miya to other vendors keeping things moving and correct. Miya also had great suggestions for connecting us with other vendors in the area, ideas for decorating, how to structure the ceremony and reception, and how to keep all the various pieces on budget. Honestly, I don't think we could have pulled this all together without her! On the actual day of the wedding, she had everything running like clockwork. I really didn't worry about a single thing. They say every wedding has at least one thing go wrong, but I can't think of anything that did, and that's all thanks to Miya and the other wonderful vendors working the event! She made it so we could just enjoy the day with no stress. If you're looking for someone who will take charge, not let anything slip through the cracks, have beautiful ideas, and also is just an all-around nice and wonderful person, you can't go wrong with Miya and the entire Joy n' Company team!

and communicated expectations and timing clearly with us. As a planner, it was hard for me to give control to another person, but Rachel made me comfortable that everything was being handled properly. Joy n Company's prices are fair, the quality of service is extremely high and the execution of our wedding was perfect. Both of my parents were impressed with Rachel's level of professionalism and decided to reimburse me for the services that I was planning to pay out of pocket. Thank you Rachel and team for making our day the best!

hiccups the day of and Rachel helped us work through them like a total champ!!!!! We will recommend Joy n’ Company to any and everyone who will listen!

over 9 months in advance of the wedding. She was truly a pleasure to work with. From Day 1, we felt that we could trust her. She seemed to always respond to emails within 24 hours and when she was out on a European vacation, her counterpart Michelle filled right in to answer our questions. During all the wedding craziness, trust me when I say that Rachel is somebody that you want with you! Even at 7 months pregnant, she was cool as a cucumber and coordinated everything without a hitch. Rachel is a rockstar!

ful, someone suggested we give Rachel and her team a call. They were incredible! Working with Rachel felt like working with a trusted friend of family member. I would describe our Rachel and her style as diligent, organized, creative, open, honest and professional. We are so grateful to her and Emily for helping plan on wedding and making sure all of the important details were taken care of. We highly recommend them!

ul team and in particular Rachel. From the very beginning the team at Joy n' Company made us feel special and like we were their only clients. Rachel always listened and made sure she understood what we wanted and made recommendations or offered her opinion. She did nor force us to use someone if we didn't feel comfortable. Every single detail was documented and double checked with us getting closer to the wedding and there is not a single thing that we could say didn't go well. Every detail was perfect and our wedding was so magical and many people said it was the best wedding they had ever attended. The Villa is magical and so intimate and they have chosen the best wedding coordinator in the business as far as we are concerned. They were proactive and followed up on every element of the wedding. Rachel is a super woman and has the best bed side manner :). As everyone knows, weddings are like putting on a musical and there a lot of emotions to deal with, and Rachel deserved a Tony Award for Direction of our magical wedding! Thank you Rachel and everyone at Joy n' Company. We will never forget the AMAZING AND MAGICAL WEDDING you made for us. Bless you!

heir email responses are truly enthused about your wedding, open to giving recommendations and are flexible – that’s Michelle. Through our planning and with each point of contact with Michelle, she was quick to respond and furthermore made you EXCITED and made it FUN. Not every vendor we had made us feel that way and we were thankful for her. Michelle was SO thorough. You can tell she is experienced by her questions and her recommendations to make the flow of your wedding even better. She provides a MASTER timeline/breakdown of your wedding which was so helpful for all our vendors and our family members. We had a few last minute changes the day before our wedding and she had everything down without skipping a beat. Come our wedding day, our bridal party and family was on a first name basis with Michelle. EVERYONE was complimenting her. I did not have to worry about one thing and trusted her. She understood our vision and made it happen and come to life. Not to mention, if you are going to have someone in close contact with you and your closest family and friends on your wedding day you want to have someone that you’ll enjoy their presence and IS COOL, that’s Michelle. If we had to do it again, we would pick Michelle every time.

a bit of rain scare and she held my hand the entire time leading up to our wedding, go away rain dancing and finger crossing! However, on our big day, I saw her in her element! Everything went off without a hitch. I don't know what I would have done without her. After the wedding people kept asking me if there was anything that I could think of that went wrong, I honestly could not think of a single thing. And that is ALL thanks to Rachel!

recommended wedding coordinators. After a wonderful intro call with Michelle, talking through the vision for our wedding and all of the other fun details, I knew Joy N Company was the right choice! I am an Event Planner myself so I decided to take on most of the planning and hire Michelle for my "Day of Coordinator." Not only was she a rockstar on the day of our wedding, but she was a huge help leading up to it. I From the moment we first connected, Michelle was on top of every single detail and handled everything like an absolute pro! She kept detailed lists and made sure to follow up after each call/meeting to make sure the information was correct. She also worked directly with our vendors to communicate timing and wedding day logistics, even reaching out months in advance with an initial timeline, which was a HUGE lift off my shoulders. I was pretty calm going into our wedding weekend and honestly didn't think I was going to be very stressed (I think I was in denial). The day started off calm but as we got closer to the ceremony start time and I realized we were behind schedule, the stress started to sneak its way in. Once I saw Michelle at the venue I started to feel much better. She had been at the Casino setting up all morning and working with the vendors to make sure everything was on schedule. From that moment through the end of the night, Michelle was there to make sure everything happened just the way we had planned. We even had wedding guests come up to us that night and the days following the wedding to let us how perfect the evening was and some were surprised because "nothing went wrong" haha. I cannot express how valuable it is as bride to have an experienced and talented wedding coordinator like Michelle. There are a lot of things that can go wrong at wedding, especially with all of the moving pieces and people involved with the day. I would not have been able to get through the wedding planning process or the wedding day without Michelle by my side. Not to mention, she is a really fun person with the most incredible energy and she clearly has a genuine love for what she does. For any future brides reading this review, do yourself a favor and call Joy N Company! You won't regret it!

EVERYTHING I wanted and couldn’t have asked for more! To this day my friends and family tell me how much fun they had and what an amazing place. It went off without a single hitch, all because Michelle is amazing. I would do it 100 times over and not change a thing. Thank you Michelle for keeping everything in order so all I had to do was show up and have fun!!! Love you girl!
