Candace did an amazing job as our day of planner. She set us up on aisle planner as soon as we hired her and she made sure to keep up with us throughout the planning and answered any questions. Since we weren’t local she gave us tons of recommendations for the area and met with us when we were able to get up there to visit the venue. The day of the wedding went perfectly! It ran smoothly and my husband and I weren’t bothered with small issues. We were grateful to have her there!

I was on the fence about getting a month of wedding coordinator and I am so thankful that I did! Candace was amazing to work with and I cannot imagine how my wedding would have went without her. I loved how she executed tasks flawlessly and did not ask me a million questions on the day of the wedding. Her confidence and experience sets her apart. Highly recommend!!

We contacted Candace and Matthew Kelly, owners of Overjoyed, to help us plan our special event. From our first contact with them, we were impressed with their professionalism, experience, and ability to respond to our needs. They helped us orchestrate each step of planning for the event. They have excellent suggestions for vendors and venues and even provide rental decor! All this took the guesswork and much of the stress away from us. After seeing what the professionals can do, I will never handle a special event alone! Thank you, Candace and Matthew. We are Overjoyed!
