From the very beginning, Joni was there for us every step of the way. She truly is the best of the best—someone who not only listens to your vision but brings it to life in ways you couldn’t have imagined. She takes care of everything, big and small, so we could be fully present in the moment. What stood out most was how much heart she pours into her work—she doesn’t just plan, she cares. We always felt supported, understood, and reassured knowing she was by our side. Joni gave us peace of mind, joy in the process, and memories we’ll treasure forever. We can’t imagine having done this without her. We love you, Joni.

oni was my wedding planner for my 4/21/23 wedding and I only have good things to report. She is hands down one of the best. Joni is well-connected in the area and her reputation precedes her. She is kind, patient, and knows the business inside and out. I was blown away by how beautiful my wedding turned out. She's got a fantastic team of planners and vendors and is super professional. Leading up to the day, she was always responsive and kind. Her assistant, Sonia, was extremely organized and prepared on our calls. Answered my many questions and followed-up with vendors as needed. She was fantastic on my actual wedding day- she ensured everything was taken care of, and her assistant for the day, Laura, was also wonderful (and very kind/patient). If there were any issues, I did not know about them. For your wedding (especially a semi-destination like mine), you want to have someone you trust who has the experience and professionalism, and Joni is your person. I still receive compliments to this day about how amazing the wedding was and how beautiful it was. Words cannot express my gratitude. Thank you to Joni and her team! Highly recommend.

I love people and I love animals (have two dogs…Luigi and Jenni). I love happy times and to have a good time. That is why weddings and parties are my passion. I am truly blessed to be able to do what I do and I have fun doing it. And, I am honored to be a part of your wedding! I have always been in a “people” business and spent some years as an interior designer (decor is one of my passions). This is a definite plus – while it is your style and vision that we want to capture for your wedding, my sense of style helps pull it together. Give us a call, no obligation 561-756-6760

nators. Sonia constantly went above and beyond to answer all my questions and get my wedding together . My guests raved about the wedding being the best they have ever been to and extremely well thought out , this could not have been possible without Joni and her team ! All the vendors they recommended were reliable, through and extremely pleasant to work with ! I can’t thank them enough for making my day absolutely perfect ! This is definitely a wedding people will be talking about for years to come and would not have been made possible without the constant support from these amazing women ❤️( my wedding date was March 4th but it wouldn’t let me change it for some reason )

because honestly I don’t know what I would’ve done without her. She made our day the most magical day that not only we will never forget but also our guest will never forget…. On top of of everything, aside from getting a wedding planner we also got a friend for life! Very thankful!

assistant and they helped me with everything. It was especially meaningful to me because my mom became sick a day before the wedding and was unable to attend. So having Joni there with that extra support really helped me get through and enjoy the day.

Joni and her team are our guardian angels - simply second to none! Our wedding at Vizcaya in Miami was magical and went exactly according to plan. We were extremely demanding and d...

etail oriented (e.g., my husband wanted all the salads to be on the tables in less 25 seconds and she got it done!). You know your team is the best when you get to enjoy the day and worry about NOTHING leading up to it. Here's the difference when it comes to working with Joni: 1) Joni's years of experience and close relationships with vendors ensure that you get the best value and service. She has her trusted go-to people that never let her down because her word carries weight. When she works with anyone new, she is sure to vet them thoroughly. She attended our tasting with us to make sure the food was to our liking. She knew the items (e.g. table clothes and chairs) that were best to order from the caterer vs. event stylist. And when a vendor wasn't responsive, Joni took care of business. 2) Joni has seen it all and has a solve for anything that could potentially go wrong. The circuit blower in the hotel room went down a few times with so many hair blowers and curling irons going. Sonya and Laura knew who to call and made sure it was fixed in seconds. You can't do this without years of experience and familiarity with hotels, venues and vendors...relationships are everything! 3) She knows South Florida venues like the back of her hand. She cautioned us to get heel covers for women at Vizcaya so they wouldn't sink into the ground or wobble when they walked. She knew we needed a bathroom attendant and exactly what we could and could not do at this historic property. 4) She's courageous enough to tell you what you don't want to hear if it means perfection on your special day. For instance, we did NOT want a tent and if it rained, we would have been in trouble! Also, we were going to spend money in areas that wouldn't have contributed to the wow factor. She led us in the right direction. 5) Organization is key! Joni's team is buttoned up with their run of show and seating chart. They provides copies to all vendors and keep the wheels moving. I think she could have her own reality show! We absolutely loved working with Joni. Despite her professionalism, we really felt that she cared about us as people and went the extra mile to ensure we were cared for.

Five Stars is not nearly enough for Joni and her team! Joni planned my dream wedding! She was there for us every step of the way and made planning our wedding fun, stress free and ...

memorable. Joni has so many great relationships with the top wedding vendors. She was able to put us in touch with the best vendors who could execute our wedding vision from start to finish. Joni understood my vision from the beginning, introduced me to the right vendors and made my wedding dreams come true! Her team was there for me every step of the way on my wedding day and made our day flawless. Joni and her team kept me calm day of, walked me through everything and made sure our day was perfect. I highly recommend anyone getting married to work with Your Special Day By Joni! Our wedding guests told us they had never seen a more perfect wedding from start to finish! Joni was my wedding Fairy Godmother.

ther-in-law I and I contacted every vendor our self. She set up one appointment. She did not come with us to look at venues. Our wedding was just recently called off, my mother-in-law to let her know and I have not received any text or call as I am the bride. I am so beyond disappointed on this planner and the way she does business. I felt like I plan my wedding all by myself. The vendors that I picked were awesome, but it would not joni at all.

Joni was everything I was looking for in a planner and more - she was what I didn’t even knew I needed! I am a big planner myself and had the big things booked before I hired her, ...

but wanted someone to keep me organized and help with the details. What I didn’t expect was all the experience, insight and creativity she’d bring to my plans. She had so many helpful tips and recommendations. So many special things about our wedding we’re things that Joni had recommended, that I would have never thought of on my own. From the photo wall with an instant camera that now holds the funniest/best candid photos of our guests, to the bridal valet who serviced my crepe/very delicate dress throughout the course of the day (I was planning on steaming a Vera Wang myself!?!?!). She has everything you need when planning a wedding or event. She’s done it all and you can trust her! Thank you so much Joni!

our wedding abroad and rebook a Miami destination wedding in three months and it was all a success because of Joni. From helping me select my venue, craft my vision, and choose our vendors - Joni and her team were there every step of the way. Her long standing relationships with many venues and vendors makes all the difference because she has a wealth of advice to provide. She always makes herself available to take any questions, help you think through ideas, and give you insight on what the best path forward is. She helped me plan the wedding of my dreams and I still cannot get over how perfect our day was! Her team that I worked with, Sonia and Laura, are equally as amazing and helped make sure every detail was in place and that our day ran smoothly. I cannot recommend them enough!! Joni is my Italian fairy godmother and I am so grateful for all of her help and that our paths crossed on my crazy wedding journey!

y and I hadn't made a single decision because I felt overwhelmed. This was WELL worth the price, at at a much better rate than most others I looked at. Joni coordinated communications and meetings with the many different vendors we were dealing with, reviewed contracts, gave constant advice and suggestions, provided tons of vendor recommendations, kept the entire process on track, and was available at any time to talk me off a ledge! Her and Brigette were both amazing the day of the wedding as well and made everything happen so smoothly so I never had to lift a finger on my wedding day! I was really nervous once I realized how much more difficult it was to plan a wedding at home with 100 people (especially when I live in Chicago and the wedding was in Florida) but Joni and her team absolutely crushed it and relieved a TON of stress. I even texted her for opinions on some things instead of my friends and family and she was constantly available and happy to help (even when I was definitely being crazy). We absolutely could not have done it without her and our day turned out beautiful because of them!!

I am so thankful to have found Joni to help us have the wedding of our dreams. I'll never forget my first call with her almost two years ago - I explained the not-so-great experie...

nce I had speaking with another wedding planner, and I could immediately tell that Joni was truly listening to me. Her calm demeanor and consultative approach made me feel comforted and assured that I would be in good hands by working with her. As an out-of-state bride, I had no idea what to expect especially when trying to select vendors. Joni always gave several amazing options for us to choose from and I always appreciated her honesty. As if planning a wedding wasn't hard enough, COVID of course made it even harder - with all the challenges we faced (1st reschedule, then the original venue telling us they were canceling all weddings in 2021 due to renovations, which left us with the 3rd date), I always felt like Joni was in our corner and ALWAYS there to support us getting through these emotional times we faced. Joni was with us literally every step of the way of planning this wedding, and she really has become like family to us and our families. Our wedding weekend turned out to be everything we had envisioned and hoped for - it was FLAWLESS, FUN, and BEAUTIFUL!!! Her team is extremely professional and on top of it, and I am so happy that we were finally able to have our celebration. It is sad to think that my time, after almost two years of planning with Joni, has now come to an end. Joni made the wedding planning experience FUN, and I truly couldn't imagine going through that process without her. Joni - from my family and Derek's, we are so appreciative of everything you have done for us. You made us feel so special, and I know we'll stay in touch and get some drinks next time we're in FL. To other brides who are considering Joni, rest assured you're in good hands.

What was even more impressive was her can do attitude and preparation to ensure that special day proceeded without incident. On the day of the event was even more impressive.

It was truly amazing and very enjoyable to work with someone that was not only extremely proficient but also very professional. I cannot thank her enough for making my daughter’s wedding the absolute best. We received so many compliments on the wedding and it is all due to Joni and her staff. I highly recommend her.

’t know, I didn’t know and then I think of our fearless leader - Joni! Joni was a friend, a confidant and a guide. From the moment we met her, she felt like family. She was honest about the visions that wouldn’t work and was never afraid to tell us where we should pay more (or less) attention to a detail. Our wedding was a destination (we live in Chicago but married in Palm Beach). Joni did an excellent job connecting us to local vendors and even went to appointments/sent pictures when we couldn’t be there in person. She kept us on track through with regular check-ins and targeted to do lists. When the big day came, everything was flawless and several guests commented on how smooth and well orchestrated everything was - people said they’d never been to a more seamless wedding. I highly recommend enlisting Joni for your wedding planning!

so blessed the day I reached out to her thinking all I would need is some coordination for the month and day of... well... finding Joni was meant to be and one of the best choices we made ❤️. She was my biggest support through it all, she started working with me before the month of, she was available to me 24/7, we spoke almost on a daily basis. We made so many changes from A to Z according to what was going on with covid. She always gave me reassurance that no matter what or how we will have our dream wedding 👰 🤵. And she was right! We did it! With her help. We celebrated this past 7/18 the best day of our lives at our home! It couldn’t be more perfect. We are forever grateful to Joni as well as all our wonderful vendors. Ladies, with no doubt, if you need guidance and help to make your day perfect, please reach out to Joni, you will forever love you did! Thank you Joni from the bottom of our hearts! We love you!

Throughout the whole process, Joni was always upbeat and positive and had such a calming presence. She was always so quick to answer texts, emails, and calls. The vendors Joni recommended were top notch and did such a wonderful job.

to work with along the way, she really made the day of the wedding run seamlessly, which allowed me to enjoy the day and be as "in the moment" as a bride can be on her wedding day! Throughout the planning process, Joni was able to flex into my mindset and understand my style and objectives -- I didn't feel like she had one way of doing things. I was able to rely on her great taste and feel confident that we had an aligned idea of the finished product, which made it easy to trust her suggestions and guidance. I would definitely recommend her and her team for your wedding!!!

e realized after trying to manage the process ourselves that being a destination wedding and with our daughter in school outside the U.S., we desperately needed help. We found Joni and she was a godsend. She has the unique ability to make you feel that everything is under control, and indeed it was. She also has so many contacts and excellent relationships with the all of the vendors that were involved with the wedding and they all love working with her. Joni and her staff, especially Brigette, really made the event run so smoothly and when it was all over, we felt like they had become part of our family. We could not imagine that there is a better wedding planner and staff in the South Florida area.

I have no words to adequately describe how important and special Joni Scalzo of Your Special Day by Joni was/is. I hired her because I knew that to plan my daughter's outdoor wedd...

ing in Coral Gables, FL while she lived in Michigan would be challenging but I had no idea what wedding planners can do except coordinate on the day of. AND, I knew that this wedding had to achieve a certain feel and Joni knew it, "got it", was sensitive the entire time to both my daughter's and my needs (like having conference calls at 8AM & planning meetings with vendors over weekends when my daughter would come into town), almost immediately available & attentive to my calls, messages, emails, and texts. I trusted her to be respectful of spending my money, and she always always was. She gave opinions, suggestions, options, whenever I asked for them while simultaneously giving me free reign to make the final decisions. To say I could not have done this without her is really an understatement. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING, JONI. Please don't hesitate to refer future clients to me for recommendations.

Simply disastrous. If you want your wedding ruined, Joni and her employees will guarantee that your special day comes with nothing but problems. Joni will make sure that nothing go...

es right by not advising you about the day. In my case, either the bride or the groom will miss out on photo opportunities and reciting speeches due to horrible planning which is supposed to be her job. She will then lie about why this was missed. If this sounds like something you want, hire Joni. She will not care about how your day is affected nor will she do anything to fix the problem.

right choice. She did so much to help the process go smoothly. She found and communicated with the vendors, sent reminders so we stayed on top of our to-do list, offered ideas all along the way, had an amazing team, and created a detailed timeline that made the day so much easier. She is so knowledgeable and detail-oriented. We have nothing but amazing things to say about her and would recommend her to anyone.

nd a florist. She was with me and my now husband every step of the way. She understood how nervous I was on the day of the wedding and helped to make sure I remained a calm bride who enjoyed her wedding. I couldn’t thank her enough and I highly recommend her service!

Hiring Joni as our wedding planner was the absolute best decision! She is simply the best and has an abundance of experience. Her patience, professionalism and encouragement helped...

Joni is the BEST! We are still getting compliments from our February 2019 wedding. As a bride whose profession is a corporate and incentive event planner, I was looking for a very ...

specific type of planner and special person to be my wedding planner. After receiving a few recommendations of planners in the Boca/Delray area and chatting with a few, I knew Joni was the right person for me from the moment we met her. Our monthly check-in calls kept me on track and the planning process always moving forward. The communication, follow-up, attention to detail and consultative advice was exactly what I was looking for. Although I feared I would micromanage our wedding, I confidently turned everything over to Joni and her team and never looked at my timeline once! Joni and her team even came to the rescue when the bottom of my dress got dirty right before the ceremony by scrubbing it with club soda and drying with a hair dryer while keeping me calm as possible-- they saved the day! Every other detail of the day was absolutely perfect. If you want someone who is a vetted professional with a great reputation, keeps great vendor relationships, is detailed oriented and talks open and honestly with you than look no further than Your Special Day by Joni. Our wedding was an absolute dream and Joni’s team had our full confidence.

My daughter interviewed numerous wedding planners in the Delray Beach/Boca Raton, Florida area. After talking with Joni she knew that Joni would truly make her wedding “a special ...

day!” Almost a year later with much planning, Joni did exactly that! A wedding beyond our dreams. I can not say enough about her. Joni can easily be described as: A Hard Worker Patient Honest A Good Listener Calm An Idea Woman A Practical Thinker Realistic With Thoughts and Budget Always Available Quick to Smile Understanding Kind We decided to have an “at home, outside Florida wedding.” When having an at home wedding and bringing all the suppliers into a backyard the logistics can be over whelming and very involved. Joni never let us down. From the tent people to the catering company, to the tables and dishes to the dance floor, to the ceremony set up, and much more everything was perfect. The wedding and reception was beyond what we had ever dreamed of and all within budget. Joni not only listened to what the parents wanted, but she listened to the bride and groom as well. I found that to be a perfect touch, as nothing was done without the OK of everyone involved. I have worked with other wedding planners before and found them at times to be difficult or even stubborn. Joni is not like that at all. She truly cares and wants to make “your day” the best it can be all within your wants and needs. This is a unique gift she brings to her planning and day of the event coordination. Do not hesitate to contact this wonderful woman for any event! She will always be the lady I recommend to anyone in southern Florida. Thank you Joni for everything you did for us. We will never forget you!

We were referred to Joni Scalzo by two dear friends who had previously used her for a total of three of their daughter’s weddings. We could not be happier with our decision to hire...

Joni. Joni (and her team) were truly professionals in their dealings not only with us, but with the vendors. Most importantly, we found that Joni had previously established an excellent reputation and rapport with the vendors we chose. Thus, our entire planning experience and ultimately the wedding experience was enhanced as her reputation truly precedes her and the vendors enjoy working with her. Joni was extremely sensitive and responsive to all of our questions and concerns from the beginning of the planning to the end. Thus, we were able to enjoy the planning experience as well as our beautiful wedding weekend. We would highly recommend Joni and her team to anyone who wants to ensure that they are hiring someone who truly cares about her clients and understands that ultimately the creation of a bride’s wedding day takes a village with many moving parts.

Words cannot describe how lucky I feel that Joni was my wedding planner. Working with her was the best decision I could have made. I will truly miss talking to her on the phone - a...

side from being an incredible wedding planner, she is insanely sweet and kind. She loves animals and has the most positive energy. She picked amazing vendors, had great communication, and pulled everything together for the best day of my life! We had last minute vendor changes, last minute number changes, and last minute venue changes, but somehow, everything went perfectly, and of course, that’s because of Joni. She is truly a professional. This was a destination wedding and there was a ton going on in our lives this year. Joni really took over and made everything happen. We are ETERNALLY GRATEFUL. We HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend Joni, especially for destination weddings. I tried my best to explain how pleased we are, but a few days later we are still at a loss and on a high from how perfect and special our wedding was. Seriously, you are missing out if you are not booking Joni to plan your wedding. I LOVE THIS WOMAN!

husband in mind. She was always ready to talk over text, email, phone and always helped me when I didn’t know what I was doing. Everything came together perfectly. The day was so well planned out and everything went according to her plan. She recommended many of my vendors and we were incredibly happy with everyone. She also brought her assistant Jamie with her day of and though I had just met her, she was immediately my friend and made sure I always had water, champagne, changed my shoes multiple times for me, and even helped me go to the bathroom. I highly recommend them!

tanding vendors. Our daughter lives out of state and as a grad student really busy, as am I, her mother! The day of the wedding went off without a hitch thanks to her meticulous organization, and she helped enormously with our complex family dynamics. She and Jamie exuded calm and control, so we never felt anxious. I couldn’t recommend anyone more highly.
