About Jovial Planning and Coordination

Jovially Wedding Planning Co.

Owner

Hi, I'm Ally. I thrive on crafting beautiful events and honing in on the details that make each wedding truly one-of-a-kind. My goa is to ensure that every couple's special day is infused with their unique story, making their dreams come to life in the most magical way possible. My adventure in wedding planning began in 2022 and I've since had the priviledge of collaborating with many couples, transforming their visions into stunning realities.

I'm committed to creating memorable celebrations filled with joy and love, while also providing a playful and stress-free planning experience. Each wedding I touch is an opportunity to sprinkle a little extra sparkle and happiness, ensuring that it’s not just an event, but a heartfelt celebration that reflects the couple’s journey together. Let’s make your dream wedding happen!

In three words: Collaborative, Flexible, Organized

Ally was without a doubt the most important piece to our wedding!! She was so important during the planning process and brought up so many good tips and tricks I would never have thought about. She gave us a perfect timeline to work from and allowed us to go about our day blissfully happy while keeping us on track with everything we had planned. We had a lot of moving parts on our day including lots of DIY decor, desserts, flowers as well as setting up a champagne tower and coordinating our guests here and there for our first dance on an outside dock - she made it all happen! She also coordinated everything with the vendors and took a huge load of the work off of me. I’m sure she put out a lot of fires we never even knew existed. She seamlessly set up the reception of my dreams and broke it all down following the reception. She quite honestly had our backs throughout the whole process and was so down to earth and extremely nice/fun/easy to work with! On top of it all, she took beautiful pictures and videos of the reception all set up as well as our first dances with our parents! None of our guests took videos of our dances and it would have been heartbreaking not to have them! She seriously thought of it all - do NOT hesitate to hire Jovial! We couldn’t have done it without her!!

Oh my goodness, thank you so much for this beautiful review. I may have teared up reading it 😅 — it means the world to me. Your day was absolutely stunning from start to finish, and it was such an honor to be a part of it all. You and Matt were a dream to work with, and I’m wishing you both all the love, laughter, and happiness in the world as you start this next chapter together. 💛 —Ally

From our very first interaction with Jovial Planning and Coordination, we were impressed by their clear, concise, and friendly communication style. Ally, our wedding coordinator, took the stress out of planning our special day with her spectacular organization and attention to detail. The day went so smoothly thanks to her flawless execution - she was a wonderful help who ensured everything ran like clockwork. I would highly recommend Jovial Planning and Coordination to any couple looking for a trusted, easy-to-work-with partner to bring their wedding vision to life. Ally's kind and calming presence was truly a breath of fresh air, and booking her services was one of the best decisions we made.
Amazing Wedding Coordinator!

Ally is very organized and professional, she was the perfect liaison to each of our wedding vendors and owned these relationships upon hire. She assisted in all aspects of our ceremony, reception site, band/DJ arrangement, floral design, seating charts, menu selections, favors and dress fittings. Ally went above and beyond to ensure my vision for our wedding day was met and actually, it was exceeded. My husband and I were able to focus on our family and friends and truly enjoy the day - it goes by so fast in the moment. She was present for the entire event and made sure all details were delivered, she even recorded our first dance and I will cherish that forever! If you are a bride looking for the best wing woman (I didn't want to burden my bridesmaids) to take most of the pressure off of you - Ally is the woman! Thank you for helping me have one of the best days of my life!

A wedding planner works with you from the very beginning — helping design your vision, secure vendors, manage your budget, and handle all the logistics from start to finish. A wedding coordinator, on the other hand, typically steps in closer to the wedding day (about 4-8 weeks before) to finalize details, create timelines, and ensure everything runs smoothly on the big day. Both services take the stress off you — it just depends on how much guidance you’d like along the way!

Pricing can vary depending on the level of service you choose, the size and complexity of your wedding, and the location. We offer customized packages ranging from custom planning to day-of coordination to ceremony-only coordination, ensuring you only pay for what you truly need. During our initial consultation, we’ll discuss your vision and provide a clear, personalized quote.

Absolutely! This is your wedding — we’re here to make your ideas come to life, not take over. Whether you want to be deeply involved in every decision or prefer to focus on the fun parts (like cake tasting!), we tailor our approach to your desired level of involvement.

That’s exactly why we’re here. We handle any last-minute hiccups — from weather changes to late vendors — so you and your loved ones can relax and enjoy the day. We create detailed timelines, coordinate with all vendors, and oversee setup and breakdown to ensure everything runs seamlessly.

I am the owner and lead planner at Jovially Wedding Planning Co., and I personally oversee every wedding to ensure everything runs smoothly. If additional support is needed — whether for a large event or to handle multiple moving parts — I have a trusted team of experienced coordinators available to assist. This way, no detail goes unnoticed, and you can relax knowing you’re in capable hands.
