Services offered

Joy by Joelle offers a range of services:

  • Full Coordination: My ALL TIME favourite service! My Full Coordination services allow me to become your new best buddy. I work SO closely with the two of you and on designing and creating a wedding that is essentially a “custom fit” and we get started as soon as you say “GO”! I’m here to walk you through every nook and cranny of the wedding planning process (and trust me, there’s a lot!) which allows you both to enjoy the big and small moments leading up to your epic day. In true Joelle lingo: I’m the “ranch to your chicken wings” or the “baileys to your coffee”, it’s just not the same without me (are you busting out laughing yet?? Me too!). But seriously, this is all about creating a stress-free experience for my couples because contrary to what some may think, it’s more than hiring a DJ or band, having good food and throwing down a few tablecloths. Weddings simply put are not what they were 10, even 5 years ago. They have several moving parts and can be very sophisticated when it comes to execution. I’ll walk you through selecting your venues, determine your wedding day style and colour palette, prepare your wedding budget, match you up with top wedding vendors who you can trust to carry out your vision and be your biggest support system throughout it all. I’m going to show up on your wedding day to execute all of our amazing plans, keep an eye on the timing of all the events and ensure that everything runs poetically. Every wedding varies when it comes to the scale/size as well as its. overall needs so I’ll give you a custom quote of what a Full Coordination’s price point would be when you come for a cocktail.

  • Wedding Day Management: This service is like that perfect, juicy maraschino cherry that finishes off a chocolate Sundae known as “the cherry on top”. My Wedding Day Management service is for couples who want to take on the leg work of the wedding planning themselves but want us there to be the eye for detail and most importantly, be there on your wedding day to make sure it's all PERFECTION! With this service, we get in touch with you one month before your wedding day where you hand over the reins to us and you go pour yourselves a cocktail or a wine, whatever tickles your fancy We’re going to produce your wedding day, help with your decor set-up on your big day, create a wildly detailed and customized wedding day timeline, design floor plans for your ceremony and reception, touch base with all your wedding vendors and so much more. Long story short, you’ve worked hard to bring it all together and we want you to be able to go into a massive chill mode for the next month. What’s the one job we put you in charge of? Being nothing but stoked to say I do.
  • VIP Wedding Day Management: For some couples, the Full Coordination is more than what they need but the Wedding Day Management just isn’t quite enough which is exactly why I created a VIP service. Here you get all of what’s included in a Wedding Day Management service PLUS 5 hours of time with me to do whatever you like with. We can chat over the phone about any questions or areas of uncertainty that you may have, lets hit up your ceremony and/or reception venue to do some floor plan brainstorming, have me join you in your floral consultation, meet me at the rental company where we will create your colour palette and design your wedding reception—-honestly, you name it and I’ll be game for it! These 5 hrs are completely free for you to use in whatever capacity best suits your needs. Need another 5 hours? No worries, add on as many as you like as each 5-hour window is $800.
  • Joy Datet: I love hanging out with newly engaged couples and know for a fact how helpful these are when you are either looking for a place to start or you’ve hit a roadblock 5 months into the planning process. Haven’t the slightest clue where to host your wedding? We’ve got some really cool places in mind. Looking for a 30,000 ft overview of how your wedding day is going to roll out? Let’s create a solid wedding day timeline. Need a full-blown floor plan for your ceremony and reception? Let’s flush that out together so you can get a visual. These hangouts are based strictly on whatever challenge it is that you’re currently facing so you’ll walk into my office with a said challenge(s) and walk out feeling PUMPED to get home, crack open your laptop and get that wedding planning machine up and running again.
  • Setup & Take Down: When it comes to decor, stationery, florals and backdrops it can come as a surprise as to how much time, effort and manpower it takes to get everything completely set up just the way you envisioned it! We’ll set up a hangout with you one week before the wedding to go over all of your decors and ensure we’re on the exact same page! After that, all that’s left to do is for you to relax and enjoy your wedding day!! Once it’s all set up, the next thought is, well who’s going to take it all down?! We will arrive at 12:00AM to take your reception decor down which gives you and your guests the opportunity to continue dancing and celebrating instead of wondering where to start! We will box up your personal decor items and the majority of your rentals (excluding chairs, roof treatments and perimeter draping) and store them in an agreed-upon space so that you are able to easily pick everything up the day after!
  • Pop The Question: You’ve spent so much time thinking through this moment and it is finally at your doorstep. You are ready to ask that special someone to spend the REST OF THEIR LIFE loving you and you couldn’t be more excited! If you’re reading this, you want to kick that proposal up a notch! You want this moment to be extra special and completely unforgettable. We will think through the location, setting, decor, florals, having a photographer or videographer capture it from start to finish with you and any other important details you would like to include to create the most epic proposal setting this worlds ever seen!
  • Special & Corporate Event Planning: We love a good party, and, let’s be honest, who doesn’t?? Our team travels wherever we need to be and we’re happy to customize each client's needs specific to the event they’re hosting. There’s always something to celebrate and we’re definitely the type of people who think outside the box and thrive on breathing a breath of fresh into an otherwise stale, “been there done that” type of event. We’re happy to handle any event needs such as design + decor to guest list management, setup + takedown, management of contracts, production and everything in-between. Let us know what you need and we will make sure that all t’s are crossed and i’s are dotted.

  • The Badass Bride Revolution: Are you getting ready to tie the knot?? Do you wish you had a pro to bounce questions off of when it comes to décor, traditions, or ideas you have to make your big day special?? Are your bridesmaids, moms and best friends not getting your wedding day vision and are less than helpful when it comes to brainstorming super rad ideas? I figured that might be the case….so I went ahead and created the BADASS BRIDE REVOLUTION!! Is this starting to sound like your saving grace? Keeping reading my love because here’s what goes down:
    • 4 unbelievable months of bride-to-be support!
    • Full access to my Wedding Planning Template that I’ve used for the past 6 years of being a wedding planner.
    • A private Facebook group where all you Badass Bride’s can hang, bounce ideas off each other and most importantly…talk with others who actually get it!
    • The juiciest part? Two LIVE Q+A Calls with me each month to answer any and all of your wedding questions that you are dying to ask!

    You’ll go from “what the hell do I do with _____? (insert everything your currently struggling with) ” to becoming a bride who knows exactly what she wants because, in my personal opinion, bridezilla’s don’t exist when they are well informed, have a solid game plan and know the in’s and outs of all things wedding related. See you there girlfriend

Dream Wedding Day Come to Life!

We purchased the VIP Wedding Day Management with Joelle Tripp and I cannot speak more highly of our experience with her. There are some things we knew we could take on ourselves, but there are other things (like an event floorplan) that it's best to have a professional weigh in on. She made sure our vision came to life in the thoughtful and beautiful way, and she took care of all of the details on the day-of that I promise you don't want to be thinking about on your wedding day. We thoroughly loved working with Joelle and we couldn't have done it without her.

Absolutely incredible!

Joelle is PURE MAGIC!

On the fence of hiring a wedding planner? Don’t think, just book Joelle! Seriously, our wedding day would not have been the same and Joelle LITERALLY saved the day.

I’ve known Joelle from also being in the wedding industry and as soon as we started planning our wedding, I knew I had to have Joelle as our planner. Not only is her personality and energy so much fun and contagious, but her dedication also to making your day the absolute best is OFF THE CHARTS!

We postponed our wedding from 2021 to 2022 and the transition was so easy with her. From the initial conversation, I knew we were in good hands.

I had a long piece of peach (my fav colour) fabric that I’ve had for years and knew I wanted to use it somehow. I completely trusted Joelle with her creativity and she used it on our arch to create the most beautiful backdrop for our ceremony. We were blown away. Then, she magically transformed our archway flowers to be on our head table and it was so INCREDIBLE!

Joelle really went above & beyond. When our bartenders really fell short, Joelle stepped in and saved the day. She was ready to bartend and take over to compensate for their lack of professionalism. This is what Joelle does. She really cares and will help with whatever she can.

Joelle & her team have an unwavering passion for their work and I wish we could have another wedding, just so we could hire her all over again.

Brandon & I thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We admire you and your talents so much. Words can’t express how grateful we are.

We will recommend Joy by Joelle over and over again. She’s amazing, her team is amazing. BOOK THEM!

She’s amazing

Joelle is really excellent to work with. We got her day of package and setup/take down service; but we were still in contact with her the entire time. Joelle gives you access to this great wedding planning software, which is really helpful. She also gives you recommendations to other vendors and is always available for questions. She’s very fun to work with and you can also trust her to take care of your big day. It was really nice on the day to have someone to run our event so we could just have fun. Joelle has different packages that can work for everyone. She also make wedding planning fun and less stressful. Would highly recommend.

Hire This Girl. Have No Regrets.

Joelle Tripp. What word can we use to describe our life once Joelle found her way into it? BOMB-FRIGGIN-TASTIC.
We initially met with Joelle after joining up for her Bad Ass Brides membership, but it was far before that when I fell in love with this radiant lover of life and all things wedding.
Every time we worked with Joelle, whether it was through the Bad Ass Brides group, our consult, our first “Hitched Hangout” as it was formerly called, or our actual full on wedding planning, we felt completely at ease with how our big day would all come together.
Myself, I’m a planner. I organize bitchin’ parties and events socially and at my job, so I know what I like. That, coupled with the fact that my future husband is a chef, we had pretty high standards. But I also wanted to just sit back and enjoy the ride, so we handed complete creative control over to Joelle and her kick-ass team. Was I a little scared to just hand it all over? Uh, friggin’ yes. But let me tell you how absolutely AMAZING that all turned out to be for us.
Stress? What stress? I was drinking White Claws and smokin’ Prime Times with my girls all week before the wedding, with absolutely not a care in the world because Joelle and Katelyn were absolute frigging rock stars. From the second they arrived, everyone was in love with these cool wedding planner cats!
To be honest, when people asked me before the wedding what our décor was going to look like, all I could do really was shrug and brag about how I kept 80 cacti alive for 2 months. I had no idea what they were going to be for or what else was going to be going on top of or beside anything, but Joelle had this vision created, which I just let her run with, and she ABSOLUTELY FUCKING NAILED it.
Did she create a cigar lounge? Yup. Did she help plant two 8 foot cacti in my mothers yard? Sure did. Did she touch base with every single vendor and build them a timeline? Yes she did my dudes. Did she pickup leaves and branches in 100km/h winds, and turn on the song that makes my husband cry like a baby for our first look, and bring me jello shots and build the absolute best wedding ever in history? Fuck yes she did.
Joelle is a rockstar. She’s elbow grease and a paralyzer gettin’ shit done, and made for quite literally, the most memorable wedding our little town maybe has ever seen. “You’ve set a new standard for weddings in this town,” said one guest. “I don’t know what you paid her, but we would have paid her double,” said my dad. Have it be known, that I think if given the chance, my parents would trade me straight across for Joelle. They love her that much now.
Hopefully the photos do all of this some justice, because this girl and her fabulous team, put every ounce of their souls into our day to make sure that every ounce of our souls were in complete bliss.
Thank you, Joelle. Thank you for the time you put in and the thousands of texts and Voxxer messages you replied to at all hours, and the random video calls. And most importantly, thank you for letting our wedding day just be the best day we could have ever imagined, and complete perfection.

And whether she likes it or not, Joelle has to now stay friends with me forever because she's that awesome.

The easiest 5 stars I've ever given!

If you are wanting someone to guide you through years of wedding planning, or just to manage things the day-of, look no further guys. Seriously. I can't speak highly enough of our girl Joelle. She is a ray of sunshine with the energy to match! Her creativity, passion and willingness to go the extra mile was everything we were looking for and more in a planner.

Absolutely Magical Team!

Joelle and her team were absolutely incredible to work with! As we had postponed our weeding from 2020 to 2021, we had many hurdles to jump over in terms of changes to the guest list, venues, vendors, etc. Joelle and Katelyn took every curveball with grace and were absolute rockstars for our day. I would recommend Joy by Joelle to anyone and everyone planning an event.

Amazing to work with!

Joelle helped make my vision come to life through just an online consult! I was having trouble picturing everything we were planning and she went through it all and made it even better than we could have ever imagined. She has also been a huge factor in calming the anxieties around COVID and wedding planning during a pandemic. 100% recommend for any of her services! Personally I booked a Hitched Hangout and was part of her Badass Bride Group. The value from those 2 things alone were off the charts. She is an awesome human and is amazing at her job.

Hitched Hangout with Joelle

I came across Joelle at my cousin’s wedding that I was a bridesmaid of. She was coordinating the wedding and I can’t lie when I tell you, from the minute we met I could tell she was an absolute gem, and we connected right away. My wedding was coming up the following year and after learning about her services, I knew I had to sit down with Joelle for a Hitched Hangout. My worries regarding my wedding were mostly surrounded by my lack of creativity when trying to bring the décor all together, as well as the dreaded topic of dealing with COVID-19 at our wedding. Before talking anything wedding, she asked, “Well, what are we drinking!?” MY KIND OF GAL.

After my Hitched Hangout with Joelle, which really just felt like talking with an old friend, I felt like she had lifted much of the weight off my shoulders with her guidance and advice. She is truly a breath of fresh air!! I am a very Type A person, and I have been giving myself headache after headache trying to navigate the world of wedding planning during a global pandemic. However, after sitting down with Joelle, I feel confident in my ability to continue planning this wedding with a little “Joelle magic”. ;) She has given me so much clarity, and has helped me allow myself to claim this wedding as mine, along with my fiancé of course, (haha) and to not apologize for the decisions we make for our big day. I am extremely thankful to have had those couple hours with her to hash out every single worry/doubt/idea that I had in mind. Aside from being amazing at what she does, she is such an amazing person and makes every moment so much fun! I can’t thank Joelle enough for this service she provides and would highly highly recommend it to any Bride and Groom!

So incredibly grateful for Joelle!!

There really are so many things that we could say about Joelle and yet still not do justice to her amazing work!
By the time we reached out and asked for her help we had come through so many challenges and were left feeling exasperated with the whole wedding planning process. From our very first meeting – which was less than a couple of months out from our wedding date – Joelle brought so much calm and gave us a solid foundation for our wedding-weary feet; as well as reinvigorating the enthusiasm that became jaded in the face of changing venues, shifting Covid rules and flaky vendors.
We immediately felt so at ease with her, especially given her amazing sense of humor (colourful language, corny references and movie quotes included) and how she just undoubtedly loves “LOVE”.
We gave Joelle a rough idea of our vision and the direction we wanted to go in, and, with her incredible insight and professionalism, she was there every step of the way turning these into reality!! From her help with picking out decorations, to the layout of our tented reception, and to dealing so well with each and every one of our vendors, Joelle was instrumental in giving us an amazing wedding day – she probably even had something to do with the beautiful weather also. It’s incredibly difficult to put into words the feeling we had when we arrived at our reception and found that what Joelle had pulled together was perfectly ‘us’.
Aside from all this, however, probably her most important contribution was being the bulwark against accepting things as ‘good enough’; she was always in our corner, rooting us on to never settle for disappointment but to go for the most amazing and beautiful wedding we could possibly have. This speaks to the incredible standard to which she holds her own work, and both we and our guests cannot recommend Joelle more highly.
When the day itself finally arrived all we had to do was enjoy one of the most special moments of our lives, and we will be forever grateful to Joelle helping us start our marriage off in a truly wonderful way ♥.

Owner

I'm Joelle 🙋🏼‍♀️ The gritty entrepreneur, head of the creative shenanigans department and owner of Joy by Joelle! You'll always catch me 'thinking outside the box', in a backwards hat (or some kind of hat for that matter!), and in my garage building/working on my latest project! If you've made it to this page I'm guessing we're 'vibing' already, right? If there's one thing I know about myself it's that I do things differently and I don't like taking the beaten path. I truly believe I was put on this earth to flex my creative muscles and I consider myself incredibly lucky to do it via our client's weddings and events--the best!!

If you're looking for my credentials I've got a Bachelor of Management Degree and am with the WPIC. Though the framed certificates have been super helpful, I hit the ground full tilt in 2015 and the experience I've gained since starting up what you might remember as "Hitched by Joelle" back in 2015 is the juiciest part of said credentials. With 60+ weddings and some big profile corporate events under my belt...now that's what I'm talking about 🤘🏼

I believe in love wholeheartedly. I also believe there is no cap to the amount of joy we can blend into our lives. So my wish for you when you work with me, meet me, or interact with my company is that you find some snippet of JOY!
