Hi, I’m Ally — owner of Jovial Planning & Coordination 🤍 I specialize in day-of coordination with setup and cleanup included, so you can walk into your wedding fully set and leave without lifting a finger. In the weeks leading up, I organize your details, build your timeline, and connect with your vendors so everything runs smoothly. On the day of, I manage logistics, handle any issues, and keep things on track so you can be fully present and actually enjoy your wedding.

“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!!”

Packages range from day-of coordination to full-service planning, all designed to make your wedding seamless and unforgettable.

“If you are even thinking about hiring a wedding coordinator, stop looking and book Desiree and her team immediately. She was truly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the very beginning, she was organized, thoughtful, and incredibly attentive to every detail. She made my mom, husband and I all feel heard and took every idea we all had and was able to combine them to create something we all loved. But what really set her apart was how much she genuinely cared about making our day feel special and seamless. She handled things before we even knew they needed to be handled, kept everything running smoothly, and somehow made the entire day feel calm and joyful instead of stressful. Because of her, my husband and I were able to fully enjoy every moment of our wedding day. We didn’t have to worry about timelines, vendors, or logistics—she had everything completely under control. She anticipated needs, solved problems instantly, and made sure every detail came together perfectly. She also brought such a warm, positive energy that made the whole experience even better. Our family and wedding party all commented on how amazing she was and how smoothly everything ran. Our wedding day was truly the best day of our lives, and she played such a huge role in making it that way. We are so grateful for everything she did and could not recommend her more highly.”

“If you’re looking for an engaging, professional team to bring your wedding vision to life, look no further! I had the pleasure of working with Trinity Griffin Events (TGE) for day-of coordination at my wedding last October, and the experience was outstanding. My primary coordinator was Nikki, with Trinity serving as my secondary coordinator—both were incredible. Our package included support starting 90 days before the wedding, helping my husband and me stay organized and on track as the big day approached. That guidance made a huge difference in easing stress throughout the planning process. TGE also handled the setup and breakdown of our décor, which allowed me, my family, and friends to stay fully present and enjoy the celebration without worrying about logistics. From our very first meeting through post-wedding follow-up, their professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine warmth truly stood out. If I had to do it all over again, I would choose TGE in a heartbeat!”

“Allyssa is the best. She really has it all together. We used her as our day of coordinator and when we had our meeting with her 30 days out from our wedding I swear all the stress flew off our shoulders. She handled all the correspondance with our vendors and kept a running to do list for us so we knew what had to be done, which helped us stay on top of everything. She showed up to our final walk through and helped answer all the questions, she had detailed documents and folders on Google that we collaborated on, she was timely and communicative and overall wonderful. Any time I had a little panic moment, I would text Allyssa and she would respond immediately, helping relieve any anxiety I had. She helped organize everything at the rehearsal, and day of, she was fantastic. Our parents and bridal party were even blown away by her ability to keep everyone in line and stick to the schedule perfectly. She thought of every detail and made sure our day went as smoothly as possible. I didn’t have to worry about ANYTHING day of, she told me what to do, where to be, and what was happening. She went above and beyond and helped put flowers in my hair before the photos. By the time the evening was over, she had our cars packed and moved to the proper spots, all of our stuff organized for us, and my purse, phone and keys were in my hand. I was in awe!!! We didn’t have to worry about where any of our stuff was and there was literally NOTHING missing. She even mailed our marriage license back to the office after the wedding. She truly did. not. miss. Allyssa is kind, organized, punctual and truly incredible. Our wedding day went perfectly and I don’t think it would have been as great without Allyssa. Booking her was the best decision we made during the wedding planning process. We would recommend her to anyone!!!”

I have a dirty little secret… I never wanted to be a wedding planner. It was never something that was on my radar. The series of events that led me to this industry is, to be honest, not very exciting, inspiring, or important, really, so I’ll skip that part. (Feel free to ask me later.) What is important is that my heart is in help and service. Born and raised in St. Louis, I’ve gained a lot of knowledge about local wedding vendors, traditions, and styles. But after working 12+ years in the industry, I’m down for anything and love working with a couple that has a unique style and vision for their day.

“From a vendor perspective we could not be more thrilled every opportunity we have to work with Victoria! She is clear, communicative, and creative. Everything a couple needs to make their day run smoothly! We never hesitate to recommend her services!”

Lebeaux Weddings - Day of Coordination

Rating: 5.0 (12 reviews)

Offers 2 services
Starts at $200
Serves Defiance, MO

Hey there! Welcome to Lebeaux weddings and events. I'm a Day of Coordinator with 7 years of experience in the St. Louis Wedding biz. I'm here to take ahold of your existing plans and turn them into a stress-free reality. I love to talk through your vision, reach out and we can set up a quick call or email to discuss further.

“TL;DR: Hire Rachel. Seriously! If you’re wondering whether a day-of-coordinator is worth it, the answer is yes. If we could go back we would have allocated more funds towards her for full-planning services! The best way we can describe Rachel is this: she is a problem solver. She sees issues before they become problems, handles challenges without creating stress for the couple, and does it with a cheerful attitude. There are undoubtedly dozens of things she handled that we will never be aware of because she took care of them before they ever reached us. One thing that stood out to us was how universally praised she was by literally everyone involved in our wedding. Our families, friends, officiant, venue staff, audio technician, caterer, reception coordinator, DJ, and ceremony venue owner/director all took time to tell us how fantastic she was. We GENUINELY heard as many compliments about Rachel as we did about the wedding itself! lol. Some Examples: - She took over converting our ceremony song selections into a format our sound technician could use. What would have been a huge last minute project for the bride wasn’t even an inconvenience because Rachel simply took it on. - At the rehearsal, she managed to keep everyone focused. Despite our families and wedding party being, admittedly, not always the easiest group to wrangle. - We realized at the last minute that we had forgotten to charge our camcorder for the ceremony. Rachel didn’t miss a beat, she got the camera charged, positioned it, and had it ready in time to press play for us. Because of her we can relive our ceremony. - She independently improved our pre-ceremony popcorn stand. Rachel happily filled the popcorn boxes. But ALSO coordinated with the venue owner/director to source display stands that made it look far better and more professional than we envisioned. - She personally distributed bouquets and boutonnieres, and helped pin them! - Rachel coordinated directly with the reception venue so we could avoid entering through a crowded public area. Instead we were able to have a private arrival to our cocktail hour. This was something we never would have found for ourselves and it made a huge difference in our experience. - We got stuck in the crowd durring our reception enterance. Rachel, without skipping a beat, got ahead of us to make a path so that we could continue with the festivities. What would have been a weird moment for us, went smoothly because of her. - We had unexpected guest cancellations that left an entire table empty just before the reception. She found a fix to disguise the table and none of our attending guests even noticed the issue. - She also managed to magically keep our drinks refilled through the night guys!! We never even went to the bar because Rachel personally ensured we always had a drink in hand. - She even found time to play part-time photographer for us! Rachel took it upon herself to capture our big moments. She absolutely did not have to do that, but it speaks to how invested she was in making sure we had the best possible experience. -At the end of the night, Rachel handled collecting decor and loading everything into the appropriate vehicles. Which let us soak in the precious last moments of our wedding. If you’re wondering if Rachel is worth the investment, we promise she is. Book her! It is a gift to yourself. You deserve ease, peace, and the ability to be present on your wedding day. We cannot recommend her highly enough.”

I'm Alyssa, and I'm so glad you found your way here. My love for the wedding industry began in 2021 when I had the privilege of planning my own wedding. From that experience, I discovered my passion for all the details—big and small—that make a wedding day truly special. Whether it's helping you choose the perfect venue, picking the best caterer, or working with a florist to bring your vision to life, I’m here for it all.

“When I first started to plan our wedding I was not sure I needed a wedding coordinator but boy was I wrong! Having Lyss for our big day was a game changer. She handled so much- from helping keeping every timeline on track, to setting up decor, to steaming dresses and providing Bobby pins to bridesmaids, my niece ripped her dress and she pulls out a sewing kit and helps fix it, she even saved me with deodorant at one point throughout the day. Another thing I loved is that she took pictures behind the scenes so the next morning when I woke up I had pictures to look back on instead of waiting weeks for my photographers photos. She helped my family with clean up at the end of the night too. She never missed a beat and made it where myself and my family members weren’t running around completing tasks and could actually enjoy the day. She is professional, communicative, kind, and someone you can trust on one of the biggest days of your life. Would recommend her a million times!”

“I had the best experience with The Venlist. I was fortunate to work with two great planners, first Kyra, and then Brittany. Kyra really understood what I was going for and was excellent at helping me plan, so I was bummed when she left. However, Brittany is absolutely amazing. She’s the absolute best at what she does. She goes above and beyond for you and she will definitely deal with any vendor issues you may have. Brittany is the main reason why my wedding vision was properly executed and brought to life. The Notion platform was perfect in keeping track of all things wedding, and I loved the style of it. Brittany is such a great person and easy to connect with. I will definitely keep in touch with her even after my wedding.”

“Brittany has been amazing throughout the entire process of working on our Vow Renewal invites. I had several new items pop up, unexpectedly, and she went right with it and offered her best advice. She was right there with us every step of the way and was super helpful in helping us choose items that would look the very best keep us in line with our overall design. I'd recommend her to everyone use her again in a heartbeat!!”
