Jackie Kaelble

Josie is absolutely amazing at what she does. Not only is she professional and organized she is also so creative and an absolute blast to work with. As a person who works in the wedding industry I am always happy to work with Josie and to recommend her to my clients!

As a wedding photographer, I've loved working with this fun, hardworking, and super kind woman! So excited to work with Josey on future weddings! Can't recommend Sixpence Events enough!

Josey coordinated our wedding on August 25 and we had a fantastic experience working with her. Leading up to the wedding, Josey maintained a great amount of contact and communication by reaching out frequently enough to keep us comfortable that we were all on track with planning. She’s also very quick with recommendations and responses to our questions—even at the height of wedding season. I didn’t realize how valuable having a good day-of coordinator would be until the wedding day actually arrived! Josey made the day so much better. She anticipated things that we never would have considered and stayed on top of a huge number of details (everything from vendors, timelines, and layout to tricky social dynamics and my very particular demands about music transitions and media presentations). Most of all, Josey’s cheerful, smiling confidence was super reassuring—you can tell she knows what she’s doing and has everything well-in-hand so that you can relax and enjoy the wedding day. Plus, Josey’s just a really great person and we enjoyed having her involved! You won’t regret working with her!

Josey was an amazing event planner. She helped me plan my husband's 50th birthday party and it was incredible! She is very organized, professional, personable and upfront about her costs, which are very reasonable. I debated about getting an event planner at all, as I like to be in control of every detail to make sure it is perfect, but I am so happy that I went with Josey! I was able to truly relax and be a guest at my own party, knowing that she had everything under control. The party was incredible! I highly recommend her!

Josey rocks!

Josey is AMAZING! I have had the privilege of working with her on a styled shoot, learning from her entrepreneurial expertise, and planning my wedding! Josey is always 1000 steps ahead of the game, she knows exactly what she is doing (this isn't her first rodeo), and she will take care of things you didn't even know existed. Sixpence Events is as essential as your wedding dress or your groom.. seriously.

Josey is amazing! I am a photographer, and I recently worked with Josey for the first time, and cannot wait to work with her again! She is extremely detail oriented, and will make sure your entire day goes on without a hiccup. You know you can go to her with any issue or concern on the wedding day, and she will handle it immediately. She makes everyone around her feel comfortable and taken care of. Her personality is energetic and positive, making her so easy to work with. You will meet Josey for the first time, and feel like you've known her for years. If you're looking for the perfect planner for your wedding day, Josey is your girl!

Josey was the coordinator for The Big Fake Wedding Minneapolis/St. Paul. She did such a great job keeping everyone feeling comfortable and kept them smiling throughout the day. She has the perfect mixture of a professional and fun personality to keep the day running smoothly while keeping things lighthearted and fun. I would love to have her be a part of my day as a bride and would highly recommend her!

Kristina Lorraine

This girl was amazing! From a photographers stand point, she was great! So personable and went above and beyond. LOVE her!

Gabriela Mastromano

I only had hesitations before I met Josey. I was worried she would be over the top obsessed with weddings and be against my anti-wedding attitude. Then, I met her. I saw that she was fun, laid-back, and completely supportive and understanding of my non-traditional take on weddings. I knew I would love working with Josey and all hesitation went out the window. I decided to work with Sixpence Events because besides Josey being so on top of everything (even at our first meeting) that I had no qualms in handing over the reins, just her personality, the fact that she was so down to earth and easy and fun to work with. Best decision ever! Josey had my back! She wasn't just focused on getting everything checked off the list and making sure every detail and issue were worked out. She was emotionally supportive and kind as well. I felt that she really cared about me and Collin. Also, she cried more than any guest did :)

Josey is the BEST EVER!!! I knew we had to work with her from our first meeting! She is so fun and perky and you will be instant friends. Trust me. She really does it all and has your back the whole entire planning process, even if you only need a day-of coordinator. The planning tools she uses are great and it's really easy to use to track your planning progress. She will make sure you are taken care of! We met several times during the planning progress and on the day of she ran the whole show like the pro she is. Did I also mention she is just full of knowledge and information about all things wedding? The woman has a podcast!!! And a blog too! She covers all the essential topics in wedding planning is so fun to listen to! She is the best :)"

I am so thankful to have had Josey be a part of our wedding day! She eliminated any potential planning stresses, and was invaluable the day of. I'm very organized and thought I wanted to do everything for our wedding myself but I'm so glad that we decided to have Josey as our day of coordinator! Seriously other than my husband I think having her there was one of the best decisions I made. As a bride, I'm so glad that I was able to enjoy my wedding day and not have to worry about logistics or any potential issues that could come up. She also allowed my mom and sister to enjoy the wedding day which was very important to me. Luckily nothing major came up on our wedding day but with any big event things are bound to happen, Josey took care of it all and I didn't have to worry about anything. It was also great to have someone to make sure I stayed cool and hydrated on a 90+ degree day with humidity. She was so fun to be around, was hilarious, and put everyone at ease! I would recommend to anyone planning a wedding- Hire Sixpence!- even if you think you can do it all, you shouldn't have to and a day of coordinator is money well spent.

Alicia Williams

It is honestly a waste of time to look at any others planners. Josey gets it right the first time, every time! We recently used Josey as our wedding planner. Apparently, planning a wedding is supposed to be stressful. Thanks to Josey I never had to experience an ounce of stress. Thank you so much for making our special day elegant, stress-free & perfect!!!

I found Josey through a recommended vendors from our venue--I initially didn't think we needed a day-of coordinator, but after our venue required one, I sought out someone who best fit mine and my now-husband's personalities + our overall vision for the day. After meeting Josey, I just knew that she would be perfect for the job. She was SUPER organized, bubbly, down to earth, genuinely interested in making sure our day was perfect, and as a bonus she looked just like my maid of honor. Ha! It was a sign. It's a shame we're only getting married once because I'd love to spend more time with her. She was super easy to work with during the entire process and was always quick to answer an email no matter how dumb my question seemed. I wanted our day to be seamless and relaxed, and a day for our families (and us, of course!) to enjoy without worrying about logistics and all the "behind the scenes" stuff. I am so relieved we ended up having a coordinator, especially Josey and her team, because our day was simply perfect. I would recommend her to anyone, she is as good as they get.

The short and sweet of it is that having Josey was the best thing we didn’t know we needed. Leading up to the wedding the communication was efficient, helpful, and conscious of not being over-bearing. She seemed dedicated to making the week of the wedding as painless as possible, and received our chaotic questions with grace. And then the day came. To be honest, we don’t remember many of the logistics, but we think that says a lot. From clutch chalkboard calligraphy to constantly reminding the groom to hydrate & take off his wool jacket so he didn’t pass out in the heat, Josey was with us when we needed it and in the background when we didn’t. To all of those hesitant couples—whether it is because you feel confident in your ability to DIY or because you just don’t know if it’s worth it—we've been there. But now we can say that if you’re looking to remember the people, the emotions, the laughter instead of who is doing what when; if you are afraid your family or friends might have a few too many to-do’s: look no further than Josey.

It was great to work with Josey on her styled shoot. She is an AMAZING planner, provided information, super organized, responsible, communicative, and friendly. I want ALL planners to bring it like she brings it. Would work with her again in a heartbeat.

Kaylie Schmitt

Thanks to Josey we had sound at our wedding ceremony! The DJ forgot to bring a generator for power to the ceremony location. Josey being the resourceful little coordinator that she is put out this little fire before anyone knew what was going on. I would highly recommend Josey be your day of wedding coordinator. Shes fun, energetic, and loves a good wedding! We had a few more difficulties throughout the day with the venue parking, and the ceremony being outside with a 100% chance of rain, it was a huge load off our shoulders knowing we had a professional to handle all the coordination stress on our big day. Love Love Loveeeee

Scott Chabot

Josey is always fantastic to work with! We recently partnered with her on a complex outdoor event and she really went above and beyond to make sure all of the vendors were working in harmony to achieve one shared goal- creating the perfect wedding day experience for our client. Thank you, Josey!

Madeline Flandrick

Having Josie put together the timeline was absolutely amazing. I had never been a part of a wedding before so I had no idea what to expect. Knowing that she has done this probably over 100 times, really made me feel comfortable that we did the right thing in having a wedding planner. Thank you so much for all your help. I literally don't know what we would have done without you! You made the day easy, fun, and totally worth all the planning.

Ashley Hogan

Where do I begin.... When our wedding weekend finally rolled around and every box was checked, I had zero nerves. We hired Josey as a day of coordinator and we had an initial meeting along with an 8 week and 2 week meeting. It kept me feeling cool and confident that we were on track with our planning and she helped us with several ideas and areas we were unsure of. I received several compliments on Josey from family members that she was so great to have at the wedding and we couldn’t agree more. Our day was seamless and perfectly timed out with the major help of her laying out our timeline. I wouldn’t know where to start if I did that on my own. Our day was exactly what we wanted and went smooth and most importantly, zero nerves at all, because I had total confidence in Josey as well as our other vendors. Thank you!!

Jeannine Marie

Most organized, energetic planner ever! I recently worked with Josey on a project and it went so well thanks to all the time she invested in organizing and planning every last detail. I was able to relax and be creative with out hustle and bustle. Hire Sixpence Events + Planning if you want to have you event executed with out a hitch while you simply enjoy the day stress free!!

Anna Cioffi

I'm not exaggerating when I say that our wedding day was the most relaxing, care-free day we could have imagined, all thanks to Josie. Josie was the greatest and my friends and family all commented on how amazing she was! She was there for us before the wedding, getting us organized AF with resources she provided for us. She made sure we had all of our essentials organized, and that everything important to us was especially cared for. We had absolutely nothing to worry about on our wedding day. She was there to make sure everything was set up correctly, and everyone was where they needed to be for the ceremony. During the reception she was invaluable and made sure everything ran smoothly, and then she was there to organize everything we needed to take home. I can't recommend her highly enough!

Miranda Xiong

Talented✅ creative ✅ Hard working ✅ organized ✅ She just check on everything! She makes planning and organizing fun. Whenever I get to work with her, I just know it will be amazing because Josey is amazing at what she does. She will make sure you have a blast too. 100% recommend her!

Hannah Bohn

We knew Josey was the one when we received her response to our questionnaire. RJ had described our friendship like “mushrooms” - a risky move, not everyone likes mushrooms - and Josey was immediately excited to work with us and get to know us. What we really appreciated about working with Josey is that she helped us plan our wedding on our own terms. She gave us a ton of tools and advice and feedback, but ultimately did not pressure us on anything. Instead, she helped us make decisions by listening to our ideas and writing them down as if they had been decided - which was perfect for us because we would have agonized over decisions right up until the last minute. Also, our time with her was so enjoyable because of her incredible laid back attitude and her comfort with the distraction and tangents we often brought into our conversations, because we could talk to her about so many topics beyond our wedding. Josey single handedly changed Hannah’s mind about day-of coordinators. Our wedding would not have been possible, let alone as beautiful and fun and joyful as it was, without her guidance and support. She kept us grounded through the process, and we always left our meetings with her feeling calm and ready for the next steps. On the day-of, she managed everything - schedule, family, details - perfectly, keeping us out of the weeds to enjoy our day.

Josey is great to work with and knows all the inside and outs of the wedding industry! She has an extensive list of vendor referrals to help you create your unique wedding style. We love her energy and passion for helping you move your to do list to completion!

Amy Kopp

Our wedding day would not have been as low-stress as it was without Josey's help. She helped us to feel prepared ahead of time and then worked like a little hummingbird the day of making sure everyone and everything was in the right place at the right time. I like to be organized and involved, so the fact alone that Josey made me feel comfortable enough to just sit and enjoy getting ready was a feat in itself! On top of all of that, my friends and family all commented on how much they really liked her and remarked about what a hard worker she is. She organized, friendly, very responsive with messages, and hilarious! My hubby and I are very thankful for all the help she gave us and highly recommend her!

Courtney Bartusek

Working with Josey was one of the most fun and easiest events that I've shot! She was on top of everything, and she was always there when I had a question or needed help. The day flowed very smoothly and I loved her attention to detail. I would work with Josey again in a heartbeat, and definitely hire her for my own events!

Thomas Wichelmann

If we could rewind to before our wedding date, we would 100% book Josey again! Professional, kind, prepared- you will not regret your decision to plan a wedding with Josey!

Sarah Reint

"Josey was our day of coordinator for our wedding and I could not imagine planning our wedding without her. She made our day perfect and we did not worry about a thing. She is kind, humorous and on top of her game."
