"Janel is an amazing event planner!"
We hired her for our wedding which took place on September 18! I heard about Janel's services through a friend of mine and she did not disappoint. Planning a wedding through the pandemic was a lot of work and I am so glad Janel was there to make sure our day was what we hoped for! She made sure all the vendors were on the same page, our details were together, and was extremely professional throughout.

Janel helped us have our fairytale wedding!
I found Janel from a colleague who worked with Janel for her pop-up wedding. I knew Janel was our wedding planner because she was very personable, organized, detail oriented, and an industry expert!
We started our wedding planning a few weeks before COVID shut the world down. Our original wedding date was 10/3/20. Janel was an absolute blessing! She made sure we were all set with every vendor for the reschedule.
It was the happiest day of our lives! Everything was perfect! And that allowed us time to have an amazing PARTY! It was so much fun!
I HIGHLY recommend Janel! I worked with her for full planning. I am a busy professional who travels a lot for work and she made wedding planning a fun stress free experience AND she DELIVERED! Our wedding was EVERYTHING!!! Do yourself a favor and choose Creating Joy!

Words cannot express how amazing Janel and her team are!
She is the consummate professional and went above and beyond to ensure that my wedding was all that my husband and I envisioned.
Things just “clicked” with us from the very beginning, and she checked off all the boxes that I was looking for in a person to plan the biggest and best event in my life!
From the beginning, Janel was attentive to all my needs, and she made herself available to me even during days/hours that most planners would have restricted. I heavily relied on her expertise to secure industry-leading vendors, create design elements that would be unique to our wedding, and execute our day-of-wedding coordination.
On the day of the wedding, I was so calm because I knew that Janel and her team had everything under control, and I knew that our ceremony and reception were going to be beautiful…and it was absolutely perfect! If you are looking for a planner in Atlanta, I recommend Janel 1000%, you will not have any regrets!
