Such a great time working with the team. It was pretty hand off for us and we got to relax which made everything easier. Highly recommended.
My husband and I brought on Most Joyful Day for our wedding last month. They were exceptional! From decorations to being a helping hand the day of, I couldn’t recommend them enough!
Because of you our daughter’s wedding was perfect. When we didn’t know how to get things done, you stepped in and made everything work. You took our daughter’s vision and made it a reality! I didn’t know a perfect wedding existed, but with you...
r help we had the perfect wedding!! Thank you!!
The best money we spent out of the whole budget!! We were planning our wedding in NW Arkansas from out of state and I knew I needed a local expert to help us out. We hired Julianne early in our planning process for day of coordinating services ...
and I knew she would be a great help but we seriously would not have had a wedding without her! From last minute rental snafus (which she resolved within hours, finding us a new company within budget weeks before our big day), a lost bus carrying the grooms family, and the general stress I was not prepared to handle - Julianne was on top of everyone and everything the second she started. She handled our entire day (and me) with joy and calm professionalism. Of all the vendors we worked with she made sure our whole experience was the best it could be and it was even better than we dreamed. We will be forever grateful to her and her team and will always highly recommend her for any and all wedding planning needs.

Naomi -you were a complete pleasure —Travis too !
It was a privilege —5 stars backatcha and thank you so much for the review! 💕
I lost my husband of 43 years this past December and he did not want a traditional funeral so I decided to host a Celebration of Life for him in the spring. He loved all things Asian and orange was his favorite color. I decided on an Asian Gard...
en Party at a beautiful outdoor venue. I relayed some of my vision to Julianne and she knew immediately how to carry out that vision. She came to my home and selected some of our decorative items to use and she executed my vision superbly. I arrived and was blown away by her attention to detail and the most important thing for me that it truly reflect my husband's personality. It went beyond my wildest expectations. All of the guests spoke to me about how beautiful everything was, and the flowers she arranged with Julie Mendenhall were breathtaking. One guest told me they thought they were some of the most amazing floral creations they had ever seen. While this type of an event was also a bit melancholy, Juliannes joyful and positive energy were a huge help to me at a difficult time. I adore her and would recommend her to anyone looking for an event planner who will truly go above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect. I adore her and look forward to working with her again sometime, if the occasion should present itself.
Julianne and Annie are a fabulous team to help plan your perfect wedding day! They were extremely attentive to our requests and helped us to have the personal touches we wanted for our wedding (karaoke). I highly recommend using Most Joyful Da...

We hired Most Joyful Day right before COVID19 took over Northwest Arkansas. Most Joyful Day (MJD) helped us create a gorgeous wedding while keeping up with the governor's mandates, and all health safety precautions. Vendors who might not have ...
taken the risk working with the bride's family during a pandemic, trusted Most Joyful Day, and agreed to take on our wedding. MJD made sure that our guests, staff and vendors had a beautiful experience while maintaining precautions against COCID19. As the mother of the bride, I got to relax with my daughter in the bride room, while MJD transformed Barn at the Springs into a fairy tale wedding. Julianne has amazing ideas, and handles every obstacle with ease. MJD went above and beyond our expectations--I highly recommend!

We are so thankful for Julianne. She did a wonderful job taking care of everything for our daughter’s wedding. We were able to relax and really enjoy the special day. We highly recommend her!
Julianne is the best! Our daughter's wedding went off perfectly and was absolutely gorgeous. Julianne is full of wonderful ideas while respecting the bride's wishes. She has great working relationships with many wedding vendors so we were not...
concerned at all about having to find florists, cake artists, etc. on our own. All of Julianne's recommended contacts worked together beautifully. Julianne is extremely responsive to questions and concerns. It was a wonderful, magical day thanks to Julianne.
It would be impossible for me to say enough good things about Julianne, but allow this testimony to shine a little light on how wonderful her services were for our wedding.
From start to finish, Julianne led the charge in allowing Laura and I...
to make educated and stress-free decisions about all the details of the wedding. Without her, we would not have made it to the wedding day with such ease and peace of mind. Julianne artfully combined the balance of giving us thoughtful options with an appreciation for the fun of the journey. She was always quick to respond and abundant with answers.
On our scheduled wedding day, we suffered an unforeseen event that resulted in us having to postpone the ceremony. Without hesitation, Julianne answered the call and began coordinating with every party, vendor, and person of interest on moving the ceremony to the next day. She salvaged every detail of a day that was to mean so much for Laura and I. Without her, the wedding we planned and dreamed of would have never been a reality.
Julianne makes the crazy number of decisions to be made for your wedding and reception seem almost manageable! As a traveling professional on a 6 month timeline to plan a wedding, I had limited amount of time to devote to the planning, but Juli...
anne kept me on track and filled in all my 'gaps', all the things I would not have known to consider, with great ideas while keeping mindful of budget. The day of our wedding was truly 100% stress-free for me and my fiance', as every detail was managed for us and we were able to simply relax and enjoy our day. Julianne is a wonderful professional to work with, and I highly recommend her planning, decor, and day of services.
Julianne was awesome. As the mother of the bride, I was so glad to have Julianne’s expertise in decor and organization. She made everything so beautiful & perfect. I would absolute us her services again.
Julianne was amazing! She made our day perfect. We could no have asked for a better coordinator. She made sure to make the whole process as stress free as possible. She also helped make our reception more beautiful than we could have ever imagi...
ned. If I could give 100 stars, I would. I would highly recommend Most Joyful day!
We hired Julliane to design the tablescapes for our wedding reception and she did a fantastic job! We collaborated remotely and she nailed the look and feel we wanted. She supplied china, linens, goblets, serving plates, vases, candlesticks; th...
e list goes on. Our guests loved it and so did we! Easy to work with, expert level knowledge, super creative and fun. Would not do a major event without her!
I don't even know where to start! Julianne was my day-of coordinator for my wedding yesterday, and I cannot express how amazing she was throughout the entire process. I'm not going to go into detail about what all the package includes, but she ...
was so unbelievably helpful from the day I hired her to the day of the wedding. I know it seems like a big investment, but I PROMISE you it is so worth it! She knows venues, vendors, traditions, expectations... basically everything you never thought you needed to know about getting married, worry no longer! She also has a vintage rental shop that is well stocked with amazing decor. Julianne was a total rockstar/hero/lifesaver the day before the wedding and the day of the wedding. She took care of everything when I simply could not make another decision. She really went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our day and didn't spend the whole weekend stressing over little things, or even potential big things. Everyone commented on her cheerful attitude and how much she genuinely enjoys what she does as well. Everything went so smoothly and I'm certain it would have been a giant mess without her, and I assure you I am not exaggerating! The peace of mind we had throughout the weekend knowing we had someone who understood our vision and knew what we wanted was priceless. The fact that she executed it all as well just further proves how amazing she is. I highly recommend Julianne and Most Joyful Day!
Working with Julianne and Most Joyful Day was the BEST decision we made with planning our wedding! Having someone with so much experience and knowledge of wedding planning took so much of the pressure off of us, and I never felt worried about ...
things not being ready in time for the big day! She was so easily accessible by phone, email and text, and was super quick to respond. She is also just such a bright and happy person that meeting with her always put me at ease. I would 100% recommend her to anyone planning a wedding!
I'm not even sure where to begin! My oldest of 4 daughters (!) was married this summer. With the help of Julianne it truly turned out to be our daughter and son-in-law's Most Joyful Day! From the moment we contacted her until the wedding day ...
(and beyond!) she was a constant source of information, ideas, and support. She listened to the ideas and visions my daughter had and added so much more! Whenever I had a question, and I had A LOT of them, she had the answers. I really don't know how I would've done it without her. I highly recommend Julianne and Most Joyful Day! And with the possibility of 3 more weddings in our future I know Julianne will be the first call I make!
Julianne was simply FABULOUS! Our daughter and son-in-law's wedding was absolutely perfect, thanks to the help of Julianne and her team at Most Joyful Day! I really do not know where to begin, but we want to thank her for her professionalism, ...
creativity, attention to details and her positive nature and energy! Julianne worked so well with all the vendors, contacting them to make appointments, changes and confirming the timeline. She was very quick to reply to calls, texts and emails. Julianne went above and beyond, creating the most magical day for our daughter and son-in-law. I would highly recommend using Julianne Darnell for your wedding. You will be so happy you did!
We LOVED working with Julianne!! We were planning our wedding from out-of-state, which adds another layer of crazy onto wedding planning but Julianne made everything so easy! She was always willing to make time for us when we were in town to do...
some planning - which was a life saver! Julianne helped us with several floral and catering appointments and asked questions that we would never have thought to ask. When the wedding day came, Julianne took care of EVERYTHING. From setting up the venue, to coordinating vendors, keeping us on track, and even helping fix my bustle after it had broken multiple times. We could not be more grateful for everything Julianne did to make our dream day come true! Plus, her positive and bubbly attitude kept everyone at ease throughout the planning process. Highly recommended for all your wedding needs!
We hired Julianne Darnell of Most Joyful Day as the day of coordinator to pull everything together for my daughter's wedding. However, as the date got closer I got concerned there was a lot of upfront work needed and I live 9 hours away in Tex...
as. Julianne went out of her way to meet with my daughter, give us great advice on decorations and general logistics of the day. She was always available for quick questions. She went way beyond the call of duty to make sure everything for the wedding day was perfect. I believe she was even able to get the perfect weather! She took control of the entire day including interaction with the vendors which relieved me of any unnecessary stress. Julianne comes highly recommended and you will not
regret the money spent. Thanks Julianne -- great job.
We hired Julianne and Most Joyful Day for our daughter’s wedding.... after all said and done and her dad and I are leaving the reception- he looks at me and says - Julianne Hudson Darnell was the best decision of the wedding. She made it all c...
ome together and gave Anna and Hunter exactly what they wanted. And she was attentive, professional and a personal godsend for me. We moved to the East Coast 2 years ago. So she was “me” in NWA. And I needed that. She’s awesome. Do yourself a favor - turn it over to her. And be mom and dad and enjoy the day or weekend.
I'll start by saying that I really didn't want to hire a wedding planner. I thought "why can't I just do it all myself! Sure it's a lot of work, but why spend the money?"
That all changed the moment I met Julianne. She is a truly special per...
son, and her wonderful attitude is backed up by an acute designer's eye. She had fantastic and tasteful ideas that stayed within our budget and had everyone at the wedding talking about how gorgeous the decor was.
And not only does she have the most wonderful design ideas, but she knows all the best vendors in Fayetteville, and steered us towards a wonderful collection of people that she coordinated flawlessly to make my wedding day as stress-free as possible.
I would recommend Julianne to everyone I know, and I have. She's a wonderful person, is easy to work with, and was an integral part of our wedding planning. Five stars.
Julianne is the best!! She helped my fiancé and I crystallize our vision for our wedding and then perfectly executed all the details the day of to make it the perfect day. Planning a wedding is no small feat. There were many details and logisti...
cs my fiancé and I overlooked or simply didn’t know about. Julianne filled in all the gaps and kept things organized saving us time and stress. The wedding was everything we wanted it to be and it’s all thanks to Julianne. Brides, there is no one better to have by your side than Julianne during this special season.
Most Joyful Day was awesome to work with! We did not book a wedding planner until a few weeks before our wedding when we realized we were in over our heads. Despite the time crunch, Julianne jumped right in, understood our vision, and helped us...
get everything ready in time. On the wedding day, Julianne took care of everything so that my family and I could enjoy the day and relax. My wedding would not have been near as beautiful or enjoyable without Julianne's help!
Let's be honest, wedding days are a blur. You don't really remember many names or faces other than your spouse and (hopefully) immediate family, but Julianne makes that list. From beginning to end, working with her and her team was an incredibl...
e experience. I suffer from a serious case of "zero creativity" and had no idea where to start with wedding decorations. My first call with Julianne was a life saver - she got to know me and my fiance and then went off and created something from nothing... and that something was beautiful, unique and perfectly matching our personalities. On top of that, she went above and beyond in coordinating with my dessert and party rental vendors and even worked directly with them to bring everything together on the big day. Her energy and optimism is the icing on the cake (no pun intended) and makes the whole process easy, stress-free and, miraculously, fun!
When the vision you have for your daughter’s wedding is realized by the careful attention to detail and responsiveness of a professional and friend, you can’t ask for more. Julianne Hudson Darnell made that happen for our family! Lauren Liftee ...
and Elika Kilakila Liftee Jr. had the most beautiful, sweet ceremony followed by an incredibly wonderful reception. Julianne and Most Joyful Day made that happen. Gratitude and admiration for an incredibly well-executed event that leaves us with beautiful memories.
