“Hiring Joyful Day Ceremonies was one of the best decisions my husband and I made for our wedding on 9/14/23. Virginia was incredible to work with from the start. She was extremely communicative with us months leading up to the wedding which made us feel very secure. During our initial zoom meeting, Virginia took the time to learn about our wants for the ceremony but more importantly she got to know us as a couple so she could make our ceremony’s love story as personalized as possible. Following the zoom meeting, Virginia even reached out to our parents, maid of honors, and best men (with our permission, of course) to get other perspectives on our love story to include which was incredibly thoughtful and so touching to hear on the day of. Her professionalism and care for her clients is unmatched. We have never felt more comfortable or safe sharing such personal details of our relationship with someone. Our guests have said that the ceremony was the best they’ve ever heard. Thank you, Virginia. You were a big part in making our special day one to remember forever.” – Chelsea
“My 50th wedding anniversary was coming up. I wanted to pull off a SURPRISE “renewal of our wedding vows ceremony” for my unsuspecting wife. I was so fortunate to find Ginger. I felt so comfortable with her the first moment we spoke. She was so kind, understanding and helpful. She had great suggestions and ideas. She spent quite a bit of time with me creating and coordinating this unique event. She was so easy to work with and through it all I felt as is I was her only and highest priority. She constantly brought me peace and comfort and the assurance that it would be everything I had imagined it would be. She is a very special woman doing what she was meant to do. You will be very blessed with a beautiful ceremony if you choose Ginger. I am thrilled that I found her and I would recommend her wholeheartedly without hesitation. Every wish and idea I had and every detail I desired was included in the beautiful ceremony.” – Jeff

“Where to start! Ginger has been amazing throughout the process of preparing our ceremony and it was a pleasure getting to know her. She was extremely accommodating when officiating our last-minute wedding and made adjustments to allow for translation by a friend for our bilingual families. She chose a very contemporary and appropriate wording, which she provided us with in writing before the ceremony, and incorporated some changes based on our preferences. Ginger truly made our ceremony special & it feels like we have known her for much longer! She was highly responsive and professional throughout the process, was well-organized, always on time (for our pre-meeting and on the day of), and has been in touch with friends and family before the ceremony to make everything as smooth as possible.
