Reviews of Joyous 442 Event Planning + Design (Event Planner)

Hailey Cadena

If anyone is looking for a wedding planner Vicki Thayer is your lady!! She was so amazing! Tom and I lived in Houston but we’re having our wedding in San Antonio. Vicki was based in Floresville... you would’ve never known we were in different cities! To give you an idea of the event she help plan...We had rough estimate of about 270 guests at our wedding. The ceremony and reception were both at the St. Anthony Hotel. We had photographers, videographers, a band, two outside cake vendors, rentals from Joyous 442, and a cigar company rolling cigars throughout the evening! My mother and I had already booked a venue, photographer, and band when Vicki came into the picture! She helped coordinate all my current vendors and helped fill in the holes for the remainder! Her vision was EXACTLY what I couldn’t exactly describe! She read in between the lines and Pinterest boards and helped create the most perfect day for Tom and I! Always available by text, call, or email when I would have random questions or needed advice! At the time I was working nights, so even if I contacted her at odd hours she was prompt to respond. I also think there might’ve been a few times where I couldn’t make decisions... and I trusted her judgement and taste that I said just handle it! And that’s exactly what she did, execution was perfect! She really made it a streamlined wedding planning experience from start to finish! I really appreciated how respectively honest Vicki was as well. I would ask for recommendations or her opinion and she always kept it very real! Even if it wasn’t what I wanted to hear!! I was ever so grateful for that. The day of the wedding was effortless for me! Vicki and her team arrived at the time she had planned on the schedule and made sure EVERYTHING was in its place and that neither Tom nor I had to lift a single finger or worry about anything but saying “I do!” Her organization was astounding! Vicki even has a little “day of” toolbox with last minute odds and ins in case anyone needs anything! (She came in clutch with my garter!) Everyone always asked me how the wedding planning was going and my response was always “fabulous and stress free! My wedding planner has everything handled.” I will always share our day with Vicki! Thank you so so much! You were beyond amazing!!

If I could give 100 STARS -- I would -- WOW, just WOW! I got married on June 23, 2018 & hired Joyous 442 for Month of Coordination, and they surely out did themselves. I was an out of town bride, and the minute I talked to Vicki on the phone I knew she was the one I wanted. There was something comforting about her and I never once doubted her taste nor her suggestions. From start to finish, Vicki was quick to respond to emails and make suggestions; she quickly answered any question or concern that I had. Vicki also made my beautiful invitations, as well as the information & rsvp cards. Additionally, she did the non-floral decor for the reception, which was impeccable! Budget was tight, but Vicki provided many options to choose from. On the day of the wedding, she was a BOSS! Got floral where it needed to be, everything I needed displayed was done without any hesitation. I virtually had to worry about NOTHING! Even the little hiccups we had with food/bar service, Vicki and her assistant, Chelsey, took care of it. Chelsey was also very attentive to us (my husband and I) throughout the wedding making sure we had everything we needed & that we were enjoying ourselves. Chelsey also made our beautiful/unique signs for the bar. After the wedding, we dealt with a few hiccups that Vicki went out of her way to help us with. I will be forever grateful for Vicki & Chelsey as they made one the most special days of our lives' run so smoothly. They are worth every dang penny & more. We received so many compliments on the elegant, yet simple decor. My mom & sisters were also highly impressed by their ability to get things DONE! THANK YOU VICKI & CHELSEY!

J442 was a dream to work with. We had a short time span to get the wedding planned in & Vicki did everything she could to get exactly what we wanted. Her & her team were a dream to work with throughout the entire process. Our wedding night was amazing, down to every detail! We couldn’t have done it without them! Kind, fun, detail oriented; PLUS if anything was wrong, we definitely didn’t know! They were so at ease the entire evening & everything was PERFECT.

Sweetest people you will ever meet! The owner, Vicki, went above and beyond my expectations for our wedding. Not only were the decorations and the look of the venue phenomenal, but everything ran so smoothly because of her and her team! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a decorator AND a coordinator!

Thank you to Vicki and Joyous442 for making my wedding day fabulous! Vicki made sure that we were very comfortable with the wedding planning process and made everything run smoothly day of! She helped us with our decorations and they were BEAUTIFUL! She even helped me find the woman who did my flowers and the one who did my hair and makeup. Working in the wedding business myself, I have experienced many wedding coordinators and their different styles and I have to say that we are so glad that we went with Vicki and Joyous442 ❤️ Y’all are the best! I don’t know how I can thank y’all enough!

Words cannot express the gratitude I have for Vicki and her whole team. From start to finish my wedding day was perfect. Hiring Vicki was the best decision ever when it came to our wedding. Having a planner really does put you at ease...because she literally handled everything. If you think you don't need a wedding planner, think again. I cannot recommend Vicki enough!!
