Your Special Day by Joni

It's definitely not a fluke that Joni has so many 5 star ratings! I would give her a 6 on "flexibility if I could-- Joni went above and beyond to make our destination wedding even better than we could have imagined. Her suggestions for vendors saved us time and money, her taste in flowers and design is exactly what I would have wanted since I couldn't be on location, and most of all, she cares about you and becomes as close as family. Wedding planning is really stressful, and you want someone who you can call to vent and who can talk you through all the issues that inevitably come up. Thanks to Joni's planning and direction, on my wedding day, I didn't have to worry about anything except having a blast and enjoying every moment of the experience. Both my husband and I are glad that we're finally married, but we'll miss our weekly hour-long calls with Joni.

I got married in Delray Beach, Florida, and Joni was absolutely amazing to work with. I was planning this wedding long distance from Chicago, and at first I thought I could handle everything myself. In hindsight, I seriously don't know what I would have done without her! She referred me to several terrific vendors (whom I used with great success and who were quite affordable), she understood our wants (some of which were non-traditional) and executed them perfectly, she was respectful of my budget concerns, she always made me feel like I was her only bride, and finally, she's just a delight to be around! We booked with Joni after we decided on the reception venue, and she was an enormous help on planning every other detail, big and small. On the day of the wedding, she was a calming and organized presence, and she made everything run flawlessly. She's a true professional, and handled everything (even my last minute changes to the timeline and speeches that ran an hour over time) with grace and a smile. I felt like I could count on her 100% to take care of any issues, which she did time and time again. Can't thank her enough for a wonderful day!!

When I first chose to work with Your Special Day by Joni, I was simply looking for a helping hand to make sure our wedding would run smoothly. I cannot express how much more I got than I bargained for. Not only are Joni Scalzo's efficiency and organizational abilities incredible, she does it all in a warm and friendly way. I could go on and on and listing detail after detail that Joni looked after but to summarize, she made sure every facet of the celebration worked as it should, and my family and I were able to enjoy our special occasion to its full potential. Our wedding was quite elaborate, and there is no possible way our family and our guests could have enjoyed it as much as we did without the help of Your Special Day by Joni. From the bottom of our hearts we thank you. Marla and Perry Birman

Thanks to Joni we had the wedding of our dreams!We just got married and we haven't stopped receiving compliments from our guests on how beautiful and exceptional our wedding was!Calling and hiring Joni was the best decision I could have ever made. From the beginning a and throughout all the planning of the event; until the day of, Joni has consistently been very professional, yet easy going, friendly and fun to work with.The way she manages and portrays her business is superb...but the best of all is that I, as a bride, had a true friend throughout the process. I will miss working with Joni, however she will remain in our hearts and she can always count on my husband and me as friends.Rocie and Mason

Joni was amazing! Being in the high end service industry my expectations were high right from the start and from the first time we met to discuss a plan for the wedding she meet every expectation and then some. She thought of every detail and was so amazing at executing it all. Even with a stormy wedding weekend and high winds nothing phased me because she made me feel so comfortable at my venue. I would recommend her and her company a million times over. Every time I talk to my guests they still talk about how great my wedding was!Thank you Joni and to her team for a perfect day filled with memories that I can vividly remember because you did such and amazing job. I will be forever grateful for your hard work, dedication and thougthfulness towards Ron, me and our families.

Joni was a Godsend. She was always ready and waiting with whatever was needed. She was instrumental in making this the most beautiful day of our lives. I could always count on her to be there when I needed her. She took such care with every detail, I always knew I could trust her to do what would work best for this wedding. She shared our vision!!!Lesa - Mother of the Bride

I am more than happy and pleased with my decision to have hired Joni as my planner! She went over and beyond my expectations. I was a little skeptical about hiring a planner since I had already planned everything myself (so I thought), until Joni sat me down and did a rundown on everything that still needed to be done. My best friends, mother, mother in law all enjoying the wedding, including myself, because Joni took care of it all..from A to Z! Take it from me, a perfectionist and control freak, DO NOT attempt to execute or coordinate your wedding DAY on your own, it was worth every penny!!

Joni Scalzo helps to make your wedding dreams come to life! She is committed to your happiness and to providing excellent service. During our first meeting, when I shared what my vision was with Joni, she listened intently instantly saw what I had in mind. She understood my personality, my taste and my expectations. She worked almost exclusively with my mother, who had an amazing experience with Joni. Joni is very responsive, and has a strong portfolio of wedding vendors. The vendors we used, with Joni’s recommendation, were wonderful. Under Joni’s watch, the rehearsal and wedding day went off without a hitch. Joni organized the wedding party during the rehearsal, and showed everyone what to do, where to go, etc. according to wedding etiquette and decorum. She was also at the reception site to oversee and coordinate the vendors’ set-up, and she ensured that the room was perfection. Most importantly, Joni Scalzo became a friend during the wedding planning process. She kept calm, focused and centered, and kept us on schedule. I would highly recommend Joni to any bride who is looking for “The Perfect Day.” Joni makes it happen.

What words exist for this woman?!?! Having Joni guiding me through the planning process was a dream, there were things that I didn't realize had to be done, the little intricate details that a wonderful wedding planner would know to ask but all the magazines and websites don't really get that far into the weeds. Joni handled everything, from helping me get a block of rooms for the guests, looking over my contracts with the venue (many times), photographer, DJ, flower person, etc. When there were a few discrepancies with the venue, Joni was on the phone with them right away and her follow-up to me was impeccable! I was never left wondering what the state of one of my questions or an issue was. Everything was planned down to the minute, she coordinated with all parties involved and was literally the go-to person. People would ask me when something was going to happen or how, I would just tell them to relax and the wedding planner would take care of it, let her do her job. That's what I did and what a job she did!! I certainly could not have survived if it had not been for her, I actually enjoyed my wedding and spent time with my guests! Something I hear a lot of brides say they weren't able to do and wish they had a wedding planner! I was not stressed at all on the day and I owe it all to Joni and her expertise and professionalism!Joni was a dream come true and an absolute angel to work with!

Joni is AMAZING!!! My wedding would never have been as beutiful if it was not for Joni!!! She made our special day perfect! Not only did Joni give me peace of mind but the small details that she suggested that were so cost effective made the wedding and my guests talked about it all weekend and to this day. Not only was Joni a wedding planner but a true friend. For the to be brides, I really thought I did not need a wedding planner until I spoke with Joni on the phone and she gave such wonderful suggestions before I even hired her. I knew how much she truly cared. She always returned my calls quickly and was just as vested in my wedding as me. Thank you Joni we miss you!I highly recommend her! Thank you Joni! xoxo

Joni is a true professional. She was patient, organized, made great decisions, and was available for numerous telephone calls. My intimate destination wedding had all the bells and whistles of a large wedding. All of Joni's recommendations for other vendors were a hit, from the cake to the photographer. They were all top notch people who knew their stuff. I also appreciate the fact that she allowed me to mail wedding items to her. This was extremely generous and cost efficient. I highly recommend Joni to all brides for their special day!

The most wonderful day of our lives happened because of you! I cannot thank you enough for all your help and commitment. You made wedding planning as easy and stress free for us. Being from NJ and planning a destination wedding we thank you for gathering the best vendors that brought everything together beautifully. We greatly appreciate your idea inputs, organization and dedication down to every last detail. Your talent is truly amazing. Nadine and Bryan

Joni turns good into PERFECT! When we first started planning for our wedding, my husband and I thought we didn't need to hire the professional help of a wedding planner. And we did pretty good at finding the perfect place for the venue, the photographer, the hair/makeup artist, the videographer, etc. We had a pretty good idea of what we wanted as far as colors, flowers, style, etc. However, as the planning progressed and got down to the little details, we were both clueless...there were so many little details, and we wanted everything to flow smoothly from beginning to end. That's when it became clear that we needed help. Joni was referred to us by the catering director of our venue. He said she was the best and highly recommended her. Oh boy, was he right?!! Joni came into the picture one month before my wedding and she took over for us! She is so organized and so detailed oriented, she thinks of all the smallest important details, and that just makes you feel like everything is going to be ok and she gives you the peace of mind that you need before your wedding. We are very glad we hired her, our only regret is we didn't hire her from the very beginning of our planning. That would have saved us a lot of unecessary stress! I truly belive that with her help, our wedding went from good to absolutely perfect!

We were married 2 weeks ago, and have spent some time going over the day in our minds and have not been able to think of one thing we would have done differently. It was the most perfect day imaginable, and Joni deserves great thanks for this. She helped to ensure that the whole day went smoothly. She was calm, always had a smile on her face, and was unobtrusive in her approach. We were able to relax and enjoy each and every moment of the day, because we knew that all of the details were in Joni's capable hands. We cannot recommend her more! Thanks, Joni!

From my moment my family and I met Joni we knew we were in good hands. She instantly felt like a long lost friend of the family and we knew we had found our planner. Everything went so smoothly throughout the entire planning process. I never had to worry about anything- Joni took on all my worries for me. She was extrememly organized and very knowledgable. It was because of her that I was able to fully enjoy my wedding day without an ounce of anxiety. All of her suggestions were brilliant and really contributed to our wedding being a smashing success. I will continue to recommend her to anyone who will listen.

As the Mother of the Bride, the task of planning a wedding is daunting. I started researching wedding planners via the internet. Upon selecting three excellent wedding planning vendors in the Boca Raton and Palm Beach areas I began interviewing them. Joni was the first to respond to my emails & had excellent suggestions right from the beginning. She was a perfect fit for not only myself, but our daughter and her now husband. We were all thrilled to have her by our side through this amazing time in our lives. Joni solved many problems always with a smile, she was forever calm. Joni is not only an extremely organized person with time lines that are essential but truly a wonderful caring person. I would highly recommend her to any Bride or Mother of the Bride.

I'm so happy that I found a wedding coordinator like Joni. She took care of everything on my wedding day, and made sure everything was perfect! She really made my wedding day so special! I couldn't have done it without her. I highly recommend her, she knows what she is doing and is on top of everything!!

Joni helped my parents put on a fabulous event. The wedding exceeded all of my expectations. The hardest part was being far away during the planning process. But after my first meeting with Joni, all of my fears went away. I felt completely comfortable with all decisions that had to be made. The best part about my wedding day is how relaxed my family and I were. We were confident that Joni would handle anything that came up. This is a special day that goes by so fast and I am so glad that I can say that I enjoyed each and every second of it!

Joni was a delight to work with from the moment I contacted her to do the later steps of my daughter's wedding, from final arrangements and the timelines with the vendors and the wedding site (hotel) to overseeing the rehearsal and the entire day of the wedding. Living out of town, I had to do all our arrangements long distance. Joni was on top of everything, guided us through the hectic last few weeks, and always responded quickly and patiently to my e-mails. The day of the wedding, she was a great support and attended to anything I asked of her in addition to what she normally does. Thank you, Joni.

I was married on July 10th at The Plaza Hotel in NYC. I could not have asked for a more amazing woman to help me with all of my details than Joni. She is not only an unbelievable wedding planner, but an unbelievable person as well. Joni was there for me throughout the entire wedding process, and on the day of. She helped in every aspect of planning and couldnt have been more helpful in making this time be as stress free as possible. She is always relaxed and happy and she passes this demeanor onto everyone around her. Further, she is innovative and thinks outside the box unlike any planner I have ever encountered. Her events are one of a kind and and executed flawlessly.Joni, you saw my vision and was able to bring it to life!! I can not stop hearing from every single guest that they have never been to a wedding like this and seen such detail, even down to the table cloths and place cards. You have exceeded every expectation and went beyond! Thank you for making my wedding an amazing time and for helping me so much with invitations, flowers, my dress and everything else that you took care of. I am honored to say that you planned my wedding, and did it perfectly!! Thanks Joni!!!Danielle
