Question 1

Can you work within my budget?

Accepted Answer

Yes — most couples come to us with a set budget, and we’re experienced in helping you make the most of it. We’ll recommend vendors, design options, and planning strategies that align with your priorities while keeping costs in check. My goal is always to create a beautiful, seamless celebration that feels true to you — without unnecessary stress or surprise expenses.

Question 2

What types of planning services do you offer?

Accepted Answer

Josie Jo Events offers Full-Service Planning, Partial Planning, Day-Of Coordination, Full Event Design, and À La Carte options. Whether you want comprehensive guidance from start to finish or expert help pulling it all together, each package is tailored to your needs for a seamless, stress-free celebration.

Question 3

Do you work alone or with a team?

Accepted Answer

I personally lead every wedding to ensure each detail aligns with your vision, but I bring trusted assistants and coordinators as needed based on your event’s size and scope. This ensures everything runs smoothly — from setup to send-off — while still giving you the personalized experience Josie Jo Events is known for.

Question 4

How do you communicate with clients?

Accepted Answer

I stay closely connected with my couples through email, phone, and scheduled planning calls — plus shared online planning tools to keep everything organized. Clear, consistent communication is a top priority, so you’ll always know what’s next and feel supported every step of the way.

Question 5

Will you be there on the wedding day?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! I’m onsite from start to finish, managing setup, vendors, and timelines to ensure everything runs seamlessly. You’ll see me (and my team, if needed) coordinating behind the scenes so you can stay fully present and enjoy every moment of your day without a single worry.

Question 6

Can you also help with smaller celebrations or events?

Accepted Answer

Yes! In addition to weddings, I love planning showers, rehearsal dinners, engagement parties, birthdays, and other milestone celebrations. Whether it’s an intimate gathering or a stylish micro-event, I bring the same creativity, organization, and attention to detail to make it feel personal and beautifully executed.

Question 7

Do you work with specific vendors, or can we choose our own?

Accepted Answer

You’re always welcome to choose your own vendors! I also have a trusted network of professionals across Philadelphia, the Main Line, and beyond that I can recommend based on your style, budget, and priorities. Whether you bring your team or use mine, I’ll handle communication and coordination to ensure everything works seamlessly together.

Question 8

Can you help with design as well as logistics?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! I specialize in both. From creating cohesive color palettes and décor concepts to managing timelines, layouts, and vendor coordination — I bridge the creative and practical sides of planning. My goal is to design a celebration that looks beautiful and runs flawlessly, so every detail feels intentional and effortless.
