I'm not sure there are enough words to describe how amazing Sophrona, and her team are! A month after our wedding, and my husband and I still talk about how absolutely amazing they are. We had to re-plan our entire wedding day in less than 60 days due to COVID-19, and I truly couldn’t have dreamed of doing it without Sophrona. She truly went above and beyond during the planning process with finding the best vendors for our wedding, and keeping us on track with everything that needed to be done. We gave her our vision and it turned out so much better than we ever could have imagined. We were so amazed at how every little detail came together with her. As a bride, I truly felt like I didn't need to think about a single thing on my wedding day - they handled everything from set up, take down, timeline… etc. I got to just show up and enjoy the day. Everything went according to plan, and ahead of schedule. Sophrona remembered and took care of even the smallest details we relayed to her. I cannot recommend them enough… worth every penny and more. Thanks for everything Joyful Wedding Day Team!

If we could give Sophrona and her team ten stars, we would. She was absolutely vital to our wedding preparation and wedding day. She stuck with us through multiple Covid postponements. She is diligent, detailed oriented, smart, kind, reliable, prompt, hard working, and fun. She made our planning and wedding such a more enjoyable process. We are ever so grateful and couldn’t recommend her services enough!

We got married on Dec. 28th, 2019 and Sophrona was a life saver. She met with us multiple times to understand our vision for the day and make sure every detail was planned. She also worked with all of our vendors and answered any and all questions they had. The day of was a breeze for us because Sophrona helped coordinate and kept us on schedule. We would recommend her to anyone in need of a wedding planner!

Sophrona helped me plan not just one wedding, but three reschedules and two separate weddings — and both days turned out perfect. When I got engaged in January of 2020, I had no idea that my original wedding date of October 10, 2020, and then the reschedule date of June 5, 2021, wouldn’t occur until June 4, 2022 and that we’d lose important family members and welcome new ones in between. Sophrona took away the stress during these challenging life moments and completely handled the two reschedules. When my husband and I decided to do a small ceremony in March 2021 before our big June 4, Sophrona was on board for that too! Our small ceremony in Arizona was such a special day in the desert thanks to her thoughtful planning. Then, our huge party and vow renewal in Minnesota was incredible. The day went off without a hitch despite us essentially building a venue from scratch (tent! Trailer bathroom! Temporary kitchen for catering!) — vendors showed up on time and where they needed to be, the wedding party was able to relax and enjoy the party, and my husband and I had the best day ever. I’ll be forever grateful for Sophrona’s attention to detail, her relaxed and calming attitude, and for her Joyful Day team. Thank you!!!

Working with Sophrona at Joyful Day Weddings made everything about our wedding easier. She had excellent vendor recommendations, ceremony ideas, and she and her team did all the work from start to finish on our special day. She stayed calm throughout the entire process, even with a few last minute changes we made on our wedding day! I'm so glad we had her help to create our perfect day!

Sophrona and the team at JDW are truly amazing! We honestly have no idea what we would have done without her! Sophrona brought such a calming and stress free energy to the crazy process of wedding planning and we truly felt our stress melt away as soon as we met with her for the first time! She is so knowledgeable, extremely organized and a very responsive communicator. Leading up to the wedding, she was always there to talk through things, make sure things were organized, and provide us lots of reassurance that our day was going to be the best ever. The week before our wedding there was a big change on timing to when vendors would have access to our venue and Sophrona handled it all! It gave Mike and I such peace of mind knowing that she was handling whatever came up. On our wedding day, Sophrona and Trey went above and beyond making sure our day went as planned and we truly couldn't imagine our day without them. Highly recommend!!!!

Sophrona and her team were absolutely incredible. We felt that they really went above and beyond just helping us get everything planned and organized. They seemed to really care about helping us have the BEST DAY EVER. We’ve received many many compliments on how beautiful our day was, and there is no doubt in my mind that Sophrona and her team at JDW played a huge role in that.

5 stars isn't enough to express how amazing Sophrona and her team were. From the beginning, Sophrona listened to every idea we had and transformed them into a beautiful and perfect wedding day. We truly would have been lost without Sophrona! From answering my panicked late night texts, to random facetimes to go over the schedule (again and again) she seriously went above and beyond to make sure that we had the day of our dreams. I cannot recommend hiring Joyful Day, and Sophrona, enough!
