Muse Event Center Where Kayla Weds Dylan

Kayla and Dylan. Their fall wedding at Muse Event Center was beyond beautiful. It included amazing details like framed engagement pictures, personalized groomsmen flasks, and a lot of DIY projects that were finished under pressure and a little last minute (more on that in episode 41 and 42).

It happens often that in the division of labor for wedding tasks, the groom makes his own list of to dos. Outside of the typical ‘order late night pizza’ or ‘pick up kegs’, Dylan had a unique set of projects, including (but not limited to): build a platform stage, build wood pillars, spray paint 45+ lanterns, and unwrap over 100 candles.

And he accomplished it all.

Also impressive, even without full nights of sleep leading up to the wedding Dylan was still calm and collected on his wedding day. Kayla had her own extensive to do list and together this couple pulled off a wedding that featured a lot of crowd pleasing moments: a kissing menu, mini guest favors that doubled as place cards and meal markers, a kabuki streamer send off (for newlywed photos), and plenty of cake.

6 THINGS WE CAN LEARN

Do not save DIY projects for last minute!
Place cards don’t need to be boring, think outside the box and incorporate your favors or meal markers
If you go for ice cream during your cocktail hour, bring your photographers
Guests can’t eat dinner until you eat dinner so be mindful of how long you keep them waiting
If you invite college friends to your wedding, be sure to sing a college song
A whole wedding group photo is easily captured on the dance floor

What you get with Josey: a wedding coordinator veteran who will make sure that everything runs smoothly. She can act as a sounding board, help you with decision making, and alleviate a lot of the stress you feel about the big day. Could not have had a more wonderful experience working with 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.

Big Stone Mini Golf Where Hannah Weds RJ

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.

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 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 is the best! From initial meetings and online planning to a site visit, rehearsal and the actual wedding, Josey and her team helped us pull off an extremely elaborate day of events seamlessly. We had two different venues with so many unique and custom requests and Josey met them all with confidence, a smile, extreme organization and a positive attitude. Our wedding day was perfectly on schedule and stress free, thanks to the hard work of Sixpence Events”

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!”
