Let me start off by saying that Joyce and her assistant are absolutely amazing. When I contacted Joyce, it was 2 months before our wedding, so I needed someone who would act fast and get things done! I tried to contact a few other planners who were either ridiculously expensive or super slow in responding (and with 2 months to plan I dont have a week to wait for email responses) .. and then I came across Joyce. I filled out her contact form and she called me the very next day! After our phone conversation, I knew she was the person for the job.

Joyce was super responsive .. usually within several hours she got back to me. She had recommendations for absolutely everything (hair, make-up, transport, mariachi, linens,etc), but didn't try to force/ pressure me to use the people she suggested. I used my own photographer and videographer, but used Joyce's vendors for everything else. We met Joyce 2 days before the wedding and had a great time with her and her assistant. We went with her and met/paid many of our vendors. I really happy that the vendors were small family run businesses and not big box stores. Joyce's assistant also brought a calculator to ensure that we were being charged the right prices and given a fair exchange as we had dollars, not pesos. There were no surprises and everything costed exactly the amount Joyce quoted me over email. We then went to view the venue and the staff knew Joyce very well, and we were treated like royalty. We met the chef that would be preparing our wedding meals and the food was amazing.

The day of the wedding was absolutely perfect. I brought a few things to be set up and everything was done exactly the way I asked. Joyce even added a few of her own decor items (like a "bride" and "groom" sign on the back of the chairs /  a "just married" banner over the dessert station) which was super appreciated! Joyce was there the entire time making sure everything was going well. Both my photographer and videographer commented on how much they enjoyed working with Joyce. She was quick when something needed to get done but was always calm and never appeared panicked or distressed.

I would recommend Joyce to anyone! By far, value for money, Joyce was the best investment we made into our wedding.
