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

  • Above and Beyond Day of Coordinator

    I cannot say enough good things about Jovial Planning and Coordination! I knew from the first meeting I had with Ally that she would bring a calming presence to the wedding planning/process. She is so kind and sweet, she made everyone feel at ease on what could have been such a stressful day. Her communication was prompt, organized, and thoughtful. She kept everyone on time for the wedding which was a huge relief for my fiancé and myself (and my mom!) so that we could enjoy our wedding. Ally even went above and beyond by helping my bridesmaids with bustling my dress (and even though it was confusing and took a long time, Ally never seemed stressed about it! Totally calm under pressure!!). The quality of her work was outstanding - she went above and beyond to ensure our special day was amazing, from setting up decorations to perfectly timing out our processional song (so that I could walk down the aisle at the exact moment of the song that I wanted to), and everything in between. Jovial Planning and Coordination truly made our wedding day flawless, and I would highly recommend them to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding planning experience!

    From our first interaction, Jovial Planning and Coordination impressed us with quick responses, reliance, and helpful guidance. Ally maintained a professional yet friendly communication style throughout the planning process. The quality of her work was exceptional - she brought great structure and organization to our wedding, while also showcasing creativity in the ceremony lineup and keeping us on track with a seamless timeline from start to finish. I had no stress or concern for the entire day, as I felt I could trust Ally completely with every step of the way. The services provided incredible value and I would highly recommend Jovial Planning and Coordination to any couple planning their wedding.

    I was lucky enough to win Jovial planning and coordination services in a instagram contest, and I truly couldn’t have imagined how incredible the experience would be! From the very first meeting, Ally was professional, organized, and so easy to work with. She treated my wedding with the same care and attention as if I were one of her full-paying clients — which says so much about her character and dedication. She handled every detail flawlessly — from communicating with vendors and assisting in creating the timeline to keeping everything running smoothly on the big day. Thanks to her, I was able to actually relax and enjoy every moment without worrying about a single thing. Our day was absolutely perfect, and I know it wouldn’t have been the same without her expertise and assistance. My husband and I are extremely grateful we won her services and would highly recommend Ally to any couple looking for wedding coordination services.
