This is serious. It's a big investment to have a wedding planner or a day of coordinator help you on your way to wedding success. I know I can be that person for you, your guide, your friend, your nuptial sage, and so do these previous Sixpence Events clients.
“Josie was amazing to work with! The planning process was very easy. She had so many wonderful recommendations that we used and made our day magical!. She shared her ideas and helped turn our ideas into a reality that made our day extra special.
She made everything on our wedding day go so smoothly, and we didn't have to worry about anything the entire day. She was always ready to remind us of what was happening next to keep us on schedule, while also respecting the fun we were having with the people around us.
We couldn't imagine our wedding without her help and would highly recommend her for anyone looking for a fun and stress free wedding day!”
“Josey deserves 100/5 stars for everything she did for Shelby and me!!
Amazing vendor recommendations, tons of suggestions and input, coordinating and wrangling uncommunicative people (including me), emotional support the WHOLE way through, pumping up everyone and adding joy during the wedding and reception, plus being there for us doing last-minute details during a holiday week HELLO it's all OTT in the best way possible.
She's the first person we hired after we booked our venue and I'm so glad we did and so deeply grateful for her work. There may be things you regret about your wedding years later but working with Josey will not be one of them.
“Josey is warm, funny, and a joy to work with, and she was an absolutely essential part of our wedding day--we couldn't have pulled it off without her.
From building an incredibly detailed timeline and reconfirming details with other vendors, to last-minute floral arranging and making sure I had my bouquet to walk down the aisle (plus one GAZILLION other things!), Josey was on top of it all and made the whole day feel seamless.
Having Josey on our team allowed us to truly enjoy our wedding day--we had the space to savor the small moments because we knew she had everything covered. We love you, Josey!”
“Josey played an integral role in making our wedding weekend absolutely flawless. We chose to host our wedding on our private family property, which presented numerous logistical challenges. We began working with Josey approximately 14 months before our big day, and she proved to be invaluable in helping us navigate every detail. From booking our vendors to sorting out the intricacies of hosting an event at a private residence, Josey was there every step of the way.
Sustainability was a top priority for us, and Josey's expertise came through as she assisted us in finding compostable products and meticulously planning all the logistics. As the wedding weekend approached, Josey took charge of the setup and transformed our venue into an absolutely stunning space.
On the actual wedding day, everything ran like clockwork, and it was nothing short of perfection. Without a doubt, one of the best decisions we made was entrusting Josey with the planning of our wedding. Her dedication and expertise made our special day truly unforgettable.”
“Josey was so amazing to work with! We initially thought we would be able to plan our wedding without a planner, but after a few months of dragging our feet on starting to contact vendors we decided to connect with Josey. Almost immediately after starting our first meeting with her we realized how much we needed a planner to guide us through the process, and Josey was the perfect person to do it. She respected all our non traditional choices and made us feel great about the wedding we wanted to have.
We planned our wedding completely remotely and Josey was the main reason we could pull that off! Her knowledge and connections with amazing local vendors was so impressive - she had endless lists of backup vendors when first choices were booked and the entire vendor choice process was stress-free, entirely because of her!
Every meeting with Josey got us excited again about our wedding, even when we were feeling stressed about how it would all go. Even when we missed deadlines or forgot about action items, she gently got us right back on track. We highly recommend as many meetings as Josey suggests and maybe even extras!!
Beyond how excellent Josey was to work with in the planning process, she was an absolute joy to finally meet in person at our rehearsal and work with on our wedding day. So many friends and family remarked how she fit right in :) She’s a joy to work with and we cannot recommend her enough. Lifesaver of a wedding planner and gem of a human!!”
“Oh my goodness. Josey is the most wonderful wedding planner I could have ever asked for! I'm a little biased since I worked for her for a summer before the pandemic, but if anything it just means I got to see her in action that much more! She is so personable with absolutely EVERY couple she works with.
She is small but mighty and FIERCE. She knows how to get things done, but you'll never think she's being too bossy or rude. She is all OVER and knows everyone that's involved and knows everything that's going on. Even if you just hire her for the day of, you are getting your moneys worth. She sends you reminder emails throughout your planning process to keep you on track and has a great planning system (that I like better than The Knot tbh). Plus she knows so many vendors in the business that you can work with if you aren't sure who to use.
And on the day, it was so calming and comforting knowing I could relax and take care of getting ready while she took care of getting everything set up and talking to all the vendors, making sure they were all on the same page. She generally has an assistant she works with who are all FABULOUS and work so so hard to make your day as wonderful as possible. They will set up and take down and make sure everything is put in the proper boxes. As long as you are organized (and even if you aren't) Josey will reassure you a million times that everything will be okay. She will take on the stresses for you. Seeing her not stress really helps calm the day. Not only will she take care of the day, she will make sure you and your bridal party are where you need to be. She'll joke around with the groomsmen and chat and dance with the Bridesmaids.
I love her SO MUCH and planned for 18 months to have the most relaxing, amazing wedding day. Josey, I can't thank you enough. I just wish I could've hung out with you more on the day because you're just such a ball of FUN. Truly, this woman does not miss a beat. She knows what she's talking about and has an AMAZING podcast for couples planning their wedding. Seriously, snatch her up and put her in your pocket to take home because before you know it the day will be over and she will be off to the next wedding. Ugh, Josey I love you and miss you like CRAZY. HIRE HER.”
“Hire Josey!!! With teenage children, aging parents, demanding jobs and other things going on in our lives, we knew that we needed to hire someone to help us plan our wedding. Josey was amazing and helped to guide us every step of the way. She offered suggested wedding vendors, guided us to ask all of the right questions, helped us to review their proposals and was willing to let us know when their bids were just too out of line.
We often became overwhelmed with the planning process, and Josey was always there willing to help keep our sanity. She has an amazing energy and great sense of humor.
On the day of the wedding, she had assured us that she would be in charge of everything and that we could just enjoy our wedding... which is exactly what happened. Josey helped to develop a timeline for the entire day and made sure there was time for everything. She was the point-person for every single vendor in the days leading up to our wedding and on the day of which alleviated so much of our stress. When we forgot to have someone bring our flowers to our photo location before the wedding, she stopped at our venue and picked them up and delivered them to us.
She navigated the entire day, while also making sure that my husband and I had enough to eat at our reception and that the take-down of our rental equipment went smoothly. On top of it all, she was a hit with our guests on the dance floor - everyone loved her!!! She is a no-brainer when looking to hire a wedding coordinator! Hire Josey!!!”
“100% must hire!!! I hired Josey for my day-of coordinator and added on her Rehearsal Dinner package service, as well! It was one of the best decisions for me, my family and my groom because we were all able to go into not only the wedding day, but also wedding week with a completely confident and relieved mindset!
She made sure our timeline was absolutely perfect and pointed out things that I never would’ve thought of on my own or by reading about on blog posts, Instagram, asking friends, etc. One specific aspect that I LOVED was that she was able to put together an organized, clear and concise timeline for every person in the family and bridal party to reference.. this was extremely helpful in that people on your wedding day can avoid coming to you asking unnecessary questions!! This took a major stress load off of my parents as well, so that they could enjoy the day and not be running around like crazy. I found Josey through word of mouth- a party my parents attended that Josey assisted with, and she impressed them from the very beginning!!
I couldn’t recommend hiring Josey and her lovely assistant, Cherie, enough- they’re going to help make sure your wedding is 100% stress-free and that’s something you can’t put a price tag on!!!”
“Hiring Josie and Sixpence Events was probably the best decision we made for our wedding. Josie is an incredible coordinator and planner, and she was able to help make our dream wedding come true. She has a wonderful, infectious energy, and she brought that passion to every aspect of her work from the day we hired her until the last table was cleared on the day itself. We had a number of last-minute mini-crises on the day of and she STILL made sure everything happened flawlessly.
She was 100% committed to making sure that everything about our wedding day happened as we dreamed it would. She coordinated with each of our vendors to make sure things arrived on time and flawlessly managed communication with the vendors the week leading up to and the day of the wedding, she toured the venue with our decorator to make sure everything was set up according to our vision, she made sure that we were able to find time to sit down ourselves and eat during dinner, she helped us build a timeline we were happy with and ensured that we stuck to that timeline on the day of the wedding, and she was a great photography assistant, making sure that the brides dress always looked on point for pictures.
We are so, so grateful to her, and if we had to do this 100 times over, we would seek her out every time!”
“AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING
We hired Josey as our day of coordinator and it was the best decision we made. Josey was not only affordable, but also very detailed oriented. On my wedding day, I was able to take a nap in the bridal suite because I literally had ZERO CONCERNS and NO STRESS.
She put in the up-front work of asking all the questions about decor, bridal party, logistics, etc which enabled the day-of to be a breeze. I didn't even leave my bridal suite because I knew Josey had everything under control. She was very flexible during the planning process and even attended other vendor planning meetings virtually with us. DON'T HESITATE. Hire Josey!”
“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.”
“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.”
“You were an absolute delight to work with. One of our BEST decisions over the course of our wedding planning process was bringing you into our team. You gently kept us in line throughout the planning process, set reasonable goals for us, and ensured a beautifully streamlined rehearsal and wedding day.
We loved your energy; you are a bright and pleasant person to work with, and to be around in general. On our wedding day, you were professional, punctual, and present. Your creative touch with the decor and set up on the wedding day were perfectly in line with our vision, and you did a wonderful job with everything.
We were incredibly grateful to have you on of the best day of our lives. We couldn't have done it without you!”
“Don’t bother looking any further. I mean do, because research is good, but seriously, you basically found the one. No, not that “ the one,” but Josey will definitely make your wedding day special. We felt pretty independent when it came to planning, not even sure we needed a day-of coordinator, only taking a meeting with Josey when my mom passive aggressively filled out a “contact us” card for us.
We were blown away at that first meeting with how joyous and excited Josey was to be a part of weddings, and we hired her on the spot. No regrets at all, because over the intervening (just shy of a) year, Josey helped us vision our event and even served as a referee when our visions did not match.
As a testament to just how committed Josey is, she even set up a livestream recording of our ceremony for a friend who was abroad. She did that all without us even knowing, she’s that good, and it was the best surprise on an already awesome day. We were really nervous going into the wedding because a lot of wedding vendors either intentionally or accidentally don’t do a great job of representing same-sex couples in their portfolios of past work, which meant we were very discerning about who we chose to work with.
Josey couldn’t have made these big old gay boys feel more like our wedding was somehow totally normal, and yet so special and individualized and US. Whoever you are, Josey will make your wedding day sparkle (even more than my shoes).”
“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!!”
"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 :)"
“Our wedding day was smooth, organized and magical. Everything went off without a hitch (that I'm aware of). And that's how you truly know Josey is AMAZING at her job! In the beginning, I'm not going to lie... I wasn't sure that I needed a coordinator, but after that experience I couldn't imagine our wedding without her!
As my husband said, "It was like magic... we needed something and POW! Josey pulled it out of her fanny pack." She is the BEST in the business that's for sure!”
"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!
"[I felt] relaxed! Josey was like a mind reader - she knew what I was thinking every step of the day and allowed us to enjoy our wedding without worrying about a single thing. Being a wedding planner myself, I can be picky about I want things to go.
But from the moment Josey and I first met, I knew she was the ONLY person to coordinate our wedding day. We couldn’t have done it without her!
THE BALLOON DROP! ...
I love that you got me and my crazy vision of being surrounded by balloons. You are a magician! Josey made the end process even easier for us. It was truly a weight off of our shoulders.
I feel like I need more Josey in my life - can we seriously be best friends?! The day was perfect - it truly was. I know that’s cliche, but it all went smoothly and Jason and I had the best day ever."
"If you’re thinking twice about whether or not to have Josey plan your wedding, stop it. Just hire her and you will not regret it. She was an angel that came into our lives while we planned for our wedding and made the process so incredibly easy.
She is such a joy to work with and just an overall wonderful human.
The day of the wedding would not have gone as smoothly as it did. Everything was flawless. Without her help, we wouldn’t have had the perfect wedding day that we did."
"Josey is the most genuine and kind person I have ever encountered. She not only made my wedding day perfect and everything I've ever wanted, she also made my life so much better.
I cannot thank her enough for all she has done for me and my new wife. I will sincerely miss her now that the planning is over which is a sign of how truly amazing she is."
How did you feel during the planning process:
"Well...overwhelmed at times, but then we would meet with Josey and all would feel calm again. We would adjust priorities and hand over some "to-do's" for others to take care of.
Josey was generous with her time, which we were beyond grateful for! She made sure we were on track with planning, prepared day-of, and calm throughout the night."
"We love you! Not only were you our day-of coordinator, but we got to develop a friendship with you. Your humor, organization, advice, and excitement was incredibly helpful through the planning process.
Your presence on the day out everything at ease, knowing you knew our vision and we're going to execute it greatly. You know your stuff, woman!"
"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!"
"We were told by all our wedding party that they have never seen a wedding day that went as smooth as ours. Josey was there every step of the way, picking up any odd job that had to get done. One minute she was putting an invisible band-aid on my finger as I was putting on my wedding dress, and the next she was coordinating the rehearsal dinner with someone's baby on her hip. I felt that no matter what, Josey would take care of the day and we didn't have to worry about a thing.
Leading up to our wedding, she jumped in and took care of every stressful activity that we needed help with. Between managing an unorganized caterer, fixing a miscommunication to the makeup artist, to running our rehearsal dinner, Josey made it all happen. We're so grateful to have found her, as she made all the difference.
"Knowing Josey was looking out for us was a weight off our shoulders that we were not missing anything.
On the wedding day, Josey was AMAZING!
She took care of every detail, connected with all the vendors, helped with set up, I did not hear of any problem if there was one, she took care of any issue, kept the flow going for the day, at the end of the night, I went to the bridal suite and she was cleaning up so everything would be organized for us at the end of the night! Josey did so many things that I do not even know about! It was PRICELESS for me to be able to spend every minute of the day after months of planning, to truly ENJOY the day...
We LOVED Josey - would not have had the perfect day that we did without her there!"
"Josey is incredible!
I used her as a day of coordinator for my wedding and it went perfectly! From day one she was insanely organized, personable, and very responsive to questions thrown her way via email. On the day of the wedding she worked with all my wedding vendors to make sure the night was stress free - and it was! If there were any hiccups that day I never heard about them, which is exactly what I was looking for. She had everything under control from day one and I can't thank her enough!!!
The best part - friends and family were talking about how much they loved her even weeks after the wedding was over! I definitely will be recommending her to friends and family.
Thanks again Josey for a night Seth and I will never forget!"
"I felt so relieved after we hired Josey because I knew someone had everything under control and we were all going to be able to really enjoy the day stress free.
Josey didn’t come on with us until a few weeks before the wedding so we independently chose all the vendors - some of which we ended up being not happy with. I wish we would have hired Josey earlier!
Our wedding day was so special because Josey was a part of it.
Lighthearted, confident, fun - Josey made everything easier for us and allowed us to truly enjoy our special day!! We would hire Josey again (earlier in the process this time) 1000 Times over and will be sending her info to any and all friends with weddings coming up. Of all the vendors and people involved in the wedding, we are happiest we hired Josey!"
"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!"
"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. She's 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."
"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."
"My now-husband and I waffled a little bit about whether hiring a planner would be worth the expense, but having gone through it, we now know that hiring a planner - especially Josey - is SO worth it.
Josey was so thoughtful about all of the details of our event, was always willing to meet up and talk through things, and is so fun to work with. Multiple bridal party members commented about how great she was as a planner and how fun(ny) she was as a person. It was a pleasure having her at our wedding and an absolute necessity for keeping my husband and I sane and for making our wedding absolutely seamless!
Three cheers for Josey at Sixpence!!"
"Josey was amazing! She was highly recommended by my husband's family after she coordinated an event for them.
From the moment she introduced herself, she was professional, organized, and immensely helpful! On our wedding day, I felt completely confident she had everything under control and I could just enjoy myself.
My husband says that having Josey stage manage our wedding allowed him to relax and know that he could just enjoy the day. She was firm when needed (getting our family off the dance floor at the end of the night), but blended right in with the family (she was a great sport when my aunt pulled her on the dance floor!) I could go on and on; I can't recommend her enough - our entire family agrees she is wonderful!"
