“Barbara and her team were absolutely amazing!!! When my husband and I first interviewed Barbara, we knew within the first five minutes that we wanted to work with her. Her knowledge of the process, her vendor connections, and her care for her clients really showed through, and we let her know right away we wanted to work with her.

During the entire planning process, she was extremely detailed, followed up with us on deadlines, and coordinated with vendors so we didn’t have to. Any time we had any questions or concerns or needed to change anything, she was quick to take care of it.

When it comes to the actual wedding day, Barbara and her team showed up promptly, checked in on us, and worked their magic the rest of the entire day and night! I was able to truly focus on getting ready with my bridesmaids while they took care of EVERYTHING! I knew exactly what to do, where to go, and didn’t have to stress about any details other than my own nervousness for the wedding itself.

All in all, I will always and highly recommend working with Barbara and her Joined By Love Wedding Planning team members! We truly had a wonderful and perfect experience, and it wouldn’t have been possible without them.”

“I originally believed a wedding planner would be out of my budget, so my mom and I were doing all the planning and organizing ourselves. When it proved to be overwhelming for me, we reached out to a Facebook group to find a day-of coordinator to see if we could find a way to squeeze it in the budget to lessen our stress at least for the day-of.

At our consultation meeting with Barbara, she was not only professional and very knowledgeable, but she put me completely at ease - so much so that we went ahead and sprung for the Partial Planning Package, which was way more than worth it.

From that point on, she was our go-to for all things wedding: she helped recommend vendors for things I still needed to book, made calls for me when I didn't have time, and even helped me find ways to save money on things like the flowers, the cake and the DJ. The day-of, she arrived early to check that everything was as it should be. She kept us on a timeline so that the whole day ran smoothly, and no one had any worries other than living in the moment on my wedding day.

I don't typically write reviews, but Joined by Love Wedding Planning went above and beyond, and we are forever grateful. In such an expensive industry, it is important to know you are going to get your money's worth, and Barbara's wedding planning services are the real deal. I can't recommend her enough.”

“Barbara has been so incredibly helpful - I am so grateful that I found her!

She has spent time reviewing every single contract I have with vendors and contacting them all individually to ensure everything I need for my wedding day is fully and completely covered. She has also helped me find vendors and get pricing for the services that I still need to book - everything from food, hair, makeup, photography, flowers, and hotels!

She is helping me organize and collect the decorations, centerpieces, music, and details to execute my dream wedding day vision! She keeps me organized and on track with all of the wedding planning we need to do so that I don’t need to worry about that myself, and she is always willing to take on extra planning activities. When I am too busy at my job during business hours, she takes on calling my vendors and prospective vendors to ask them the questions that I need answers to.

Barbara is dependable, reliable, and an expert advice giver in the field! She is so easy to communicate with and coordinate with too which makes everything so smooth. She truly cares about me, my fiance, and our wedding, which makes her work so thoughtful, unique, and dedicated.

Barbara with Joined by Love has made my wedding SO EASY! I’m SO HAPPY.”
