Veronica was a "joy" to work with. She was on top of every detail from the beginning, excellent with spacing out planning, accommodating everyone's schedules, eager to solve any issues and go the extra mile when necessary. She managed all the vendors and absorbed any stress to shield us from the logistics of planning. She took my daughter's vision and made it come alive. Her organization skills were amazing and kept us on track with budgeting and payments. the day of the wedding she kept us moving with ease despite funky weather and unexpected blips. She did all the above with a smile on her face and joy in her heart. She really does love creating a memorable event. Her passion is obvious in every detail. I couldn't be more grateful. In addition to all the above, she is just FUN to be around!
V is a JOY to work with! During our search for a planner, she stood out to us as someone enthusiastic, knowledgable, easy to talk to, and upfront about her process. During the planning process, V was responsive, organized, and patient. She gave us space to make creative decisions (cheering us and our vision on throughout the whole process) while also giving us her expert opinion and feedback on how to get the most bang for our buck and make sure our guests have a blast! She has a deep roster of amazing vendors (at a variety of price points) and it’s clear from talking to the rest of our wedding team that she is beloved and well-respected.
On the day, V and her team were a dream. Everything ran smoothly and calmly and she truly brought our vision to life in the most beautiful way. We got amazing feedback from our guests and had so much fun throughout the entire process!
Working with a wedding planner is a collaborative effort. You enter it with your vision (maybe) for the event. You hope they hear you, see the vision and start to plan. Well V did all that! She was incredibly hardworking and professional. She was mindful of costs and presented us with the best options in music, photography, flowers, lighting, tableware. EVERY detail addressed and then perfectly executed. Result was a stunning event! I can't say enough about the ease in working with V. She and her team get it done, on time, in style and take every bit of stress off of your plate. HIRE her! You will enjoy working with her and your event will be everything you hoped it would be.
Our wedding simply would not have been possible without VJE. I had the pleasure of working with Veronica as a full service planner for our September 2023 wedding in NYC and she went above and beyond to make our wedding so incredibly special. From start to finish, Veronica and her team made the wedding planning process feel so easy, which made things so much less stressful for us while working full time jobs, managing family expectations, and dealing with all that comes with wedding prep. This woman is SO incredibly organized, you will truly be amazed. On the day of our wedding, it ended up raining and we had to pursue our rain plan. I never would have known we used our "back up" plan because Veronica's team took care of everything and pivoted beautifully. I truly cannot put into words how grateful I am for Veronica and her team- She will truly bring your vision to life, become your best friend, and when you look back on your day you will smile knowing she was apart of it.
I cannot recommend this team enough, this review simply doesn't do them justice. THANK YOU TEAM VJE! I LOVE YOU FOREVER!!!
There truly aren't enough words in the English language to describe how much I adore Veronica! From the moment I met her, I knew that she would be the best person to plan our wedding: She is organized, professional, communicative, calm, decisive... like I said, there aren't enough words in existence! On a personal level, Veronica is a total delight to be around (and there were definitely days leading up to our wedding that I spent more time with her than my fiancé!). She was truly the conductor of the orchestra that was our (very logistically-complicated) wedding. I cannot imagine doing it without her, and I'm glad I'll never have to! Veronica is a gem — plain and simple.
There is no way to describe Veronica other than perfect. She is exactly who you want with you on your wedding day. I booked Veronica as a month of planner and she was incredible. Her attention to detail and organization is unmatched. I’m so grateful that Veronica was with me all day on my wedding day- she is a calming presence who gets everything done. Veronica- THANK YOU!!!!! You truly were a huge part in making our day as perfect as it was.
We have been lucky to work with Veronica several times, and I can't recommend her enough! She is truly an expert in her field and makes the design and planning process a breeze. She helped our couples to achieve dream weddings, and has amazing ideas and creative solutions for any problems that arose.
Veronica's unique approach and particular skillset impressed me. She was always clear and efficient in her communication, which helped to keep us on track and on schedule. Her attention to detail is exceptional, and she goes above and beyond to ensure that the couple (and vendors) have a memorable and enjoyable wedding day.
We are s incredibly impressed with Veronica's professionalism, expertise, and dedication. She will truly make your wedding day an insane success, and I can't thank her enough for all of her hard work. If you're looking for an amazing wedding planner, look no further than Veronica Joy!
A literal life saver. It poured on our wedding day, and Veronica kept her cool and pulled off a miracle making it all work under the circumstances. She has incredible poise, composure and is a person you want to have in your corner throughout the process. Could not recommend Veronica anymore, she is an absolute pleasure to work with and we couldn't have done it without her!
It is difficult to find the appropriate words to express my appreciation and praise for the amazing wedding weekend Veronica and her team helped us plan and execute. Literally, we could not have done it without them!
I am so grateful for the expertise and guidance Veronica gave us throughout the 18 months leading up to our wedding date. Their organization and communication are bar none the best in the business. We were reassured at every twist and turn with warm smiles, calm dispositions and an impressive skill set. Their eternal optimism and enthusiasm helped us overcome every obstacle that tried to get in our way. We were in great hands from start to finish! I have never seen my daughter so happy — Veronica and her team greatly contributed to this joy! A job well done!
My husband and I hired Veronica and her team to be our "month of" planner for our 2022 wedding. Little did we know she would be the most important vendor we had hired. Although she was a month-of planner, as soon as her services kicked in 6 weeks out to our wedding date, it felt as if she had been with us the entire 2 years planning. She listened, had ideas, and executed everything perfectly. She brought our wedding vision to life and every single one of our vendors loved working with her and Jeena on her team. I've been in plenty of weddings where the planner is not present or the couple felt they could have done without them --not Veronica and her team. She was there from the very beginning in the morning while getting ready, there with us every step throughout the day leading up to the actual ceremony and there with us all the way until the after party. It felt as if she was a friend and a guest at our wedding. Little did we know, V and I actually met in high school years ago and realized we had known each other at the actual wedding! We absolutely think V and her team are top notch. Definitely a must-hire!!
Veronica, Danielle, and Kate were amazing the whole way through the planning process and helped to make our wedding day extremely chill and smooth! Cannot more highly recommend.
There aren't enough compliments I could give Veronica and her team! From pre-wedding logistics, to day of coordination - the team was absolutely amazing to work with and helped keep my husband and I focused on being present and enjoying our special day. Leading up to the wedding, Veronica and her team were beyond helpful in keeping us organized, finalizing all details and logistics, and were in constant communication to ensure everything was being planned as we would like it to be. On the day of, the team was even more amazing in ensuring everything was setup and running according to schedule, was flexible in managing the rain delays and adjustments to the schedule, and ensured everything was taken care of the end of the night for us. Without them assisting us the month prior and day of the wedding, I honestly don't think I would have been able to enjoy our wedding day the way we did. If you're looking for a planner you can trust to deliver the most perfect day, and allow you to be present and enjoy celebrating your love, Veronica and her team are the ones to hire!!
Veronica was the absolute best to work with along with Erin. We did the month of package and were so relived when Veronica was able to take over and coordinate all the logistics and communications between our venue and all vendors during that last month. Veronica and Erin put our mind at ease in the leadup to the wedding and were there for us to answer any questions. During the wedding day they were very supportive and helped to coordinate and get us in the right places at the right times and even brought stuff back to our hotel so we could enjoy the afterparty. It was so worth it to get Veronica and Erin for the month of coordination and even though we did a lot of the planning ourselves having their team handle the final month took so much stress off.
Veronica is amazing! She took away so much of the stress leading up to the wedding. And she brought so much positivity, love and an amazing energy to the day. I was able to be in the moment at my daughter’s wedding, which was a true gift!
Veronica was the best money we spent of our entire wedding. You're doing this once, hire someone that knows what they're doing and can make sure you're making the best of it. She's organized, an expert in all things "wedding", positive, and ON IT in the months leading up to it, and she's the same day-of. She makes it so that you can be a guest at your own wedding, and when it's over you'll be so glad you invested there.
From start to finish, Veronica was the absolute BEST. She was always so helpful and super positive. When it came to the actual month-of planning, she was on top of everything. At our wedding, she was nothing short of amazing. From treating my family like royalty, to keeping us on schedule and worrying about all the in-betweens, she made my day so much less stressful. She worked so hard all day, and I appreciated every second of her. Not only do I highly recommend her, I want to have another event so I can see her again, be around her positive energy and have her work her magic!
Veronica and her team are the best!! I could not have survived my wedding without them. While they might be described as “month-of planners,” I knew I could reach out to them at any time throughout the process for advice, input, random questions or anything at all. But during the last month leading up to my wedding, I had zero stress! Exactly how a bride should feel and will feel when working with Veronica. V and her team are extremely organized, which made working with them such a breeze and they’re also some of the nicest people you will ever meet! We had so much fun working together that it didn’t even feel like work. On the day of the wedding, I knew I could truly sit back and actually enjoy the day without stressing about a single thing because everything had been taken care of and was meticulously planned out by V and her team. All of my vendors had such a pleasant experience working with them as well which made my life sooo much easier because I didn’t even need to be involved! The smartest thing I ever did when it came to my wedding was hire Veronica as soon as possible and I would do it in a heartbeat all over again. Our families also commented afterwards how grateful they were to have Veronica and her team on site because every single element went off without a hitch. Could not have imagined a more perfect day thanks to VJE. Thank you for making my wedding day the best day ever and for being the kindest, most fun people to work with!! Truly the best.
Veronica made our wedding day so easy and stress free, making all of the logistics work behind the scenes seamlessly so we could just sit back and enjoy the day. She is such a warm-hearted and attentive person and I feel so lucky she was able to come help with our wedding in Chicago. I have no idea what we would have done without her. Her organizational prowess was unmatched!! I am not an organized person or thinker so having her take of everything made my life sooo much easier. Veronica is a joy to work with and I cannot recommend her enough!
My friends often tell me I should go into planning and were SHOCKED to hear that I had hired one for my own wedding. When it came time to making this decision, I knew the ONLY person I could trust to help bring my fairytale vision to life was Veronica.
Planning a wedding is no joke, especially during this wild and unprecedented times, and you NEED someone who just knows how to make it all happen. From start to finish, Veronica and her team were an absolute dream to work with. Veronica has a contagious personality, exudes positivity like no other and never takes no for an answer- all qualities you need to ensure your big day goes off without a hitch! From answering my 2A “SOS” emails to helping touch up my make up and fluffing my veil right before walking down the aisle- V never missed a beat. She DELIVERS!
Brides aren’t lying when they say it all goes by so fast so the BEST thing I could have ever done was hire V and her team to ensure I can enjoy the journey and be so incredibly present the day of the wedding. It was truly the best gift I could have ever given myself!
Veronica is the best. Period. She was our month-of-planner for our wedding in March 2021. It was a pretty complicated wedding. Not only did we have to deal with the pandemic as the backdrop, but it was also a multicultural event (Indian-Russian-American wedding). Veronica was there through it all, cool, calm and collected. She learned everything she needed to about the Sikh traditioms that went along with the Indian ceremony. She dealt with interesting (read: sketchy) vendors with professionalism. She made me and my husband (both Type-A) feel like we could relax because everything was under control.
Veronica was hands down our most favorite vendor to work with (she's also fun/a pleasure to be around!). Hiring her will be the best decision you make.
There are not enough stars to appreciate all of the work, love and PASSION that Veronica Joy Events put into my special day. I am one of the many brides this year that were put in a unique scenario given the pandemic. Within months we postponed our wedding and shifted gears to an intimate gathering to celebrate our vows with our “nearest & dearest”. With all of that aside, I can honestly share that VJE helped me feel confident, stress-free and ready for my wedding day. My favorite part about using Veronica Joy Events was the organization of her spreadsheets that helped me stay detail oriented and on time with my deadlines in order to run a smooth wedding day. However, it doesn’t end there. The day of the wedding I felt completely relaxed knowing that VJE was there to assure all details were handled with care and set up for the guests to arrive. The timeline of events ran smoothly and I know that was because of her. Last, is the passion that you can truly feel from VJE. She put her heart and soul into making my wedding the best day of my life. There are not enough words to thank her and her team for creating my most memorable day yet..... until next year in 2021 when we get to do it all over again at Park Savoy with VJE by our sides!
Bottom Line: Veronica is an absolute asset to keeping calm leading up to and on your wedding day so that you can relax and enjoy every single minute!
I knew even before I was engaged that I would be hiring Veronica to support with day of/month of planning for my wedding. After being a bridesmaid in another wedding she coordinated and having the most chill morning ever getting ready, that was exactly the vibe I knew I wanted to cultivate on my own day. Fun, relaxed, no stress! Once my now-husband and I were engaged, we originally booked her for our 150+ guest wedding for July 2020. Come March, she worked with us every step of the way to shift gears to first move our original wedding plans from 2020 to 2021 due to Covid and then re-plan a completely different celebration for this year on our original date (new state, new ceremony site, reception plan, new hair/makeup vendor, new everything!) for just 35 guests. She did this with humor, grace and a smile all while keeping our safety concerns in mind for our nearest and dearest (including our only living grandparent). We could not have done it without V!
Whenever we are able to party for round 2, we know Veronica will be there to keep the chill, fun vibes going. Simply the best!
I hired Veronica for my Bridal Shower three years ago, and was so impressed by her professionalism and high level of customer service, that it was a no brainer to hire her again for my Baby Shower!
I had my shower on March 7th of 2020 (right before the Covid pandemic hit), so it was literally one of the last in person events that any of my friends and family attended before the lockdown.
My friends and family all gushed that it was the most beautiful, classy and best baby shower that they had ever attended. Veronica is extremely organized, professional and detail-oriented. Every detail of the shower from the flowers to the mimosa bar was absolutely perfect, and I owe it all to Veronica and her flawless execution.
I would highly recommend Veronica to anyone looking for a Wedding Planner or any other event. She's simply the best!
Looking back on my wedding day, Veronica and her team were an absolute necessity to having the perfect, stress free, and seamless day. I can't not imagine what it would have been otherwise. I had Veronica and Erin as my day of wedding coordinators because I wanted my mom and my sisters to be able to enjoy the day as much as I was going to. I did not want to have any unnecessary stress and running around. They were the absolute solution to this problem. Two weeks before my wedding, I had so much left unplanned. Veronica and Erin met with me on multiple occasions via zoom, to get my procrastinating self on track! They brought things to my attention that I didn't even think about and they drastically relieved my last minute wedding stress. On my wedding day, Veronica and Erin showed up very professionally, on time, and ready to work, making sure I was relaxed and had a glass of champagne in my hand. They kept my large bridal party on schedule with hair and makeup, and made sure my groom and his groomsmen were on time and ready waiting for me at the church (not an easy feat). From getting ready, to the ceremony, to photos, cocktail hour, and the reception, they were by my side every step of the way and they gave me the feeling that there was absolutely nothing to worry about. Although there was only two of them, I felt like they had an army working behind them because of how much they did for me on that day. They were in a million places at once! I really feel like I was able to fully enjoy my wedding day, and I owe it all to Veronica and her team.
Hiring Veronica will be the best wedding vendor decision you make! Veronica brings far more than coordination and clarity to the wedding process. She has an answer for every challenge, and will come up with so many creative options and solutions to really make your day run flawlessly. She is incredibly organized and gives you confidence that the big day will run smooth. She has an answer for every challenge, and will come up with so many creative options and solutions to really make your day special, FUN and personalized.
If you are planning a wedding (or any party) and debating whether or not you need a planner, please don't think twice about it. Take it from me, you need one, and the person you need is Veronica.
I always joke that I would have given up flowers if I had to choose over working with Veronica. She made the stressful parts of wedding planning less stressful and the exciting parts even more exciting. Her energy, organization, attention to detail (the list goes on) is one of a kind and I know our wedding would not have been as enjoyable to plan and our day as wonderful to experience if it wasn't for Veronica.
We will never be able to thank her enough for everything she did to make sure we had our best day ever. I truly can’t picture my wedding without her.
The service was impeccable and will recommend to
Friends and family.
Words can’t describe how much of a JOY it was to work with Veronica and her assistant Page. One of my very first thoughts when I woke up the morning after my wedding was, WOW I seriously do not know what I would have done with out Veronica. I had actually known her for years being that she was my neighbor growing up but had no idea how it would be to work with her on a professional level and on the MOST important day of my life but she far exceeded all of my expectations!!! Prior to meeting with her my mind was racing in a million different directions and after the first meeting I instantly felt calmer, more confident and SO relieved! She is extremely detail-oriented, organized and so professional. And everyone around us that day took notice as well. I had friends asking for her contact info and even better, the manager at our Venue could not say enough about her performance and that they were so impressed with her they were going to add her to their exclusive list of preferred vendors. The peace of mind and feeling I had knowing that I didn’t have to worry about a thing and could just enjoy every minute of my wedding and anything that was thrown our way Veronica would handle was PRICELESS! Hiring Veronica needs to be one of the very first things you do if you are planning a wedding!!!
It is impossible to overstate what a gem Veronica is - in addition to being hardworking, creative, passionate, and the ultimate problem solver. I know about Veronica's creativity and compassion because we went to college together, and were in the same sorority. I know about her work ethic, creativity, and organization for the same reason: Veronica has been the go-to gal for party planning for as long as I have known her.
When I got engaged, I was sure that I would be able to plan and execute my 190-person wedding myself. As the planning got underway, and I realized what a HUGE job it would be, there was no question who I wanted - who I NEEDED to help me: Veronica. I can confidently say that working with Veronica as my day-of coordinator was the BEST decision I made, and I cannot recommend her enough.
From our meeting two weeks out, to countless phone calls, texts, and meetings with vendors, Veronica had everything under complete control and I knew I could actually enjoy my day with her running the show. She was seriously put to the test when my dress broke irreparably about 10 minutes before I walked down the aisle. She sprung into action, and was not only calm and collected, but absolutely determined to find a solution. During the ceremony, she drove into town and picked up a seamstress from a local bridal shop to come to the church and literally sew me back into the dress. I can honestly say I would have NO IDEA what I would have done without her. She completely saved my day in that moment.
Every bride, every couple should do themselves the ULTIMATE favor during this stressful (exciting, fun, yes, but let's be real - stressful!) time and work with Veronica. I guarantee you will NOT regret it. She is a gem through and through, her professionalism is second to none, and her dedication to her clients is absolutely unparalleled. She is truly the very best.
My husband and I feel so lucky to have found Veronica!! She was a JOY to work with!! Veronica was on top of everything! It is quite apparent that she does this —not only for a living but something she is so passionate about! Her positive energy was felt through the entire process! That is something I found to be so valuable and important on the MOST important day of our lives!! She gave me sound advice during the entire process!! Although I hired her for “month of coordinating” and planning the rehearsal dinner... I felt like I could call on her from the moment I booked her! She was prepared for any mishaps; she multi -tasked with ease! She also has a great team behind her! We love Janelle too!! They made everyone feel absolutely comfortable in their presence and I am so happy to have chosen Veronica Joy events to be our wedding coordinator! You will not be disappointed!
If you're looking for a wedding planner who will truly be an extension of your family, Veronica is your girl! Booking Veronica for our wedding day was by far the best decision we made. Not only did our families love her, our venue staff, photographer, and florist are all still raving about their experience partnering with Veronica. Within days of starting to work together, I felt confident that she knew how I would answer any and all questions that were coming our way. She truly cares about you and your family and she was a huge relief to have her with us as a part of our big day!
Veronica is THE BEST PERSON TO WORK WITH ever. Period. From the moment we started working together, we could tell she was dedicated, detail-oriented, and well-versed in her field. Every call and meeting we had with Veronica was absolutely wonderful and made us feel confident in the decisions that we were making. She was great about keeping us on track with our timelines, and she was able to give us insights that we would have previously not known. Veronica helped make our wedding an absolute dream. She was great working with our parents and had an incredibly kind manner every time we spoke about uncomfortable things, like budgets, and made sure we stuck to them. When there were issues with other vendors, Veronica was quick to handle everything in a professional manner. Truly, I wish I could get married again just so we could work with Veronica again! She is a DREAM!
Veronica and Team were absolutely amazing! From the minute they jumped in, helping to facilitate timelines and ensuring all vendors were arriving on time, we felt at ease. She took the time to get to know us individually and as a couple, and made sure our needs were put first during planning and the day of.
She was a part of our family that day and the entire wedding party at the end of the night was sad to say goodbye to them! All the vendors we worked with were even complimenting Veronica on her services (especially her very detailed timelines!)
Veronica's attention to detail and calmness under pressure made me as the bride and my husband the day of feel like we could enjoy the day! She made sure we were sticking to the schedule but in a way that didn't feel like it was regimented. The day was so smooth and she made sure we ate, drank and had fun.
As a very organized person, I thought it was crazy that people hired wedding planners. However, now I want Veronica to help plan all of my parties/life events because she made it fun and stress-free. Best money we spent on our day, without question. Whether it was looking for a place for an after party, getting her opinion on where items should be placed for the cocktail hour, or helping to negotiate with vendors, she was always there to help and give honest feedback.
Our wedding day was amazing and we had Veronica largely to thank for that!!
Veronica was amazing. She made the last few weeks of wedding planning very seamless and stress free. If I was worried about something, Veronica took care of it! With Veronica's help, I got to enjoy my wedding rather than worry about last minute planning. I highly recommend her services. She's super kind and friendly which made me feel like a had a friend by my side rather than a "day of planner."
Working with Veronica Polce was the best desicion I made for my daughter's wedding. My whole family loved her. She made sure from beginning to end that everything was flawless. The entire day was magical.
Veronica and her assistant took care of all the details with different vendors to make sure everything flowed seamlessly. For me, as the mother of the bride, was such a stress reliever to know she was taking care of anything that came up. She also really cares about your event as if it were her own family. I cannot say enough about how pleased we were. She is a true joy to have worked with. I would strongly recommend using her services.
Veronica did the most fantastic job orchestrating my future daughter-in-law's bridal shower for me in NYC on Saturday, June 17, 2017! She planned perfectly every detail: flowers, venue, favors, cake, printed place settings, games, etc, etc..... The most wonderful part was that Veronica was an absolute delight to work with- she followed up consistently and even dealt with the RSVP s and the people that didn't respond!! If you want a stress free event done with class, eloquence and style, look no further than Veronica Polce with Veronica Joy Events!!
I cannot describe in enough details how fantastic Veronica was! She's professional, reliable and lovely to be around. She handled us, our families and our vendors with excellent care and diligence. She has a bright, long career ahead of her, and I'd strongly recommend working with her for your wedding or any event with a million moving parts!
