About
On WeddingWire since 2012
Welcome! I am so glad you found me. Congratulations on this wonderful new chapter in your lives!
Events by Pamela Joy offers officiating and wedding planning. I am from Pelham, Massachusetts. Whether you are planning a small intimate wedding or a grandiose one, my wedding planning team is ready to assist couples and make their dreams come true. All weddings are approached with love and energy to ensure each couple’s day is personal and stress free. You're here because you are planning your dream wedding and want it to be delightful, personal and memorable. Or perhaps you are here because you want to renew your wedding vows. Maybe even bless your new little one with a special ceremony that is designed especially for the new addition to your family.
If this describes you, you are in the right place.
I have been a wedding planner for over 35 years. I began officiating during Covid, it was “my covid pivot.” I was missing my couples and the wedding celebrations, so I got ordained! I was delighted to marry four of my couples during Covid. It was magnificent. There is nothing better than joining a couple, with the ceremony script we’ve developed together, and standing in front of their friends and family. People always ask me why I officiate weddings. It’s very simple, because I love it! My goal is to provide you with a memorable and romantic ceremony that you and your guests will always remember, which is why I accept only a limited number of weddings each year.
You choose between a Religious, Non-Religious, Spiritual, Interfaith or Themed style ceremony. However you label it, right now you are at a significant moment in your life's journey.
No matter what type of ceremony you desire, I will work with you to make it memorable and meaningful.
Wherever your ceremony is taking place, I’m happy to travel to that location.

Professional Network & Endorsements
7 EndorsementsThe wedding celebration planned by Pam was one of the most beautifully coordinated events we've played music for! Held on an orchard, special touches included red accents (inc. bridesmaids' gowns) echoing the ripe apples on the trees. Pam had TWO coordinators overseeing everything, including the ceremony's processionals, which proceeded in perfect timing.
I have done many weddings with Pam over the years and she truly knows what she's doing. She works with the other vendors rather than telling the other vendors what to do and ensures everything goes according to plan. You simply cannot go wrong with Pam at your wedding!
The best in the business. I had the pleasure of working with Pam at a backyard wedding in Amherst, Ma. Her expertise and attention to detail is top notch. I recommend her to anyone getting married as she knows what looks great and will give you outstanding quality service. She is very easy to work alongside and will make your vision for your day come to life. Hire her for your event and wedding as you will not be disappointed in her above and beyond approach.
