    simply the best

    Jo & Taylor helped make our event so memorable and stress-free. We are so thankful and we had the best time on our special day. Thanks so much for all the support during the month leading up + going above and beyond. Cheers!

    Incredibly satisfied and highly recommend!

    The Square Mile Events team was amazing at every step of our wedding journey! A key differentiator when choosing a wedding planner for us was how experienced they were and the quality of service we’d get since our event was at a private residence and we needed partial planning and day of coordination. After meeting with many wedding planners, Jo stood out as someone who was professional, kind and knew what to do in any circumstance. She was extremely organized and provided helpful documents and input all along the way.

    Just before our wedding date, we had to push it out due to COVID-19. She was extremely flexible and solution-oriented, helping us move our wedding out just...

    Coming from a type A bride who wanted to be as hands on as she possibly could (and probably would've driven to the venue on the day of just to be reallyREALLY sure), our wedding could not have been in better hands. We hired them as day-of coordinators but Joanna was there for in the months beforehand when I needed feedback on design choices or just needed someone to vent to. On our wedding day itself, all the little design details that I had driven myself crazy over were executed beautifully and the party ran smoothly all thanks to the efforts of Faye and Mallory. They kept me sane, calm, and hydrated so I really didn't have to worry...

    5 Star Service & Excellent Communication

    I used Jo and the Square Mile Events team for my October 22, 2022 wedding and could not have been happier with the five star service provided.

    I opted for the month of planning package, and quite honestly, if I had found her earlier, I would have gone for the full planning package.

    We had a very difficult venue that was basically non-responsive to phone calls and emails which caused a good amount of stress in the month before the wedding. Jo went above and beyond to get our tasting scheduled utilizing her local contacts, ensured everything we were promised was put into writing, and kept us on task with reminders, and check-ins leading up to the...

    Best planner ever!

    Jo was the best planner we could possibly hope for! She kept us sane and on track throughout the entire planning process and brought our wedding vision to life the day of.

    She had modern planning tools (we loved her Trello board) and went above and beyond to help us find vendors that met our expectations. We had weekly check ins where we would discuss the week's tasks and she would always follow up promptly on any outstanding items. She was always patient and helped us manage our anxiety during the most stressful times.

    On our wedding day, she handled everything and allowed us to be fully present and enjoy our day. We couldn't be happier with how our wedding turned out and we couldn't have done it without Jo!

    A joy to work with, highly recommend


    We worked with Joanna for day of coordination and partial wedding planning services throughout — and had a great experience every step of the way.

    For Day-of coordination:
    With almost the entire guest list traveling from out of town to get to our wedding, I knew we’d need the help of a wedding planner. I’ve been to so many weddings where members of the family or bridal party were responsible for a lot of the clean up (either at rehearsal dinner or after reception) -- making sure center pieces, gifts, display/decor items got home safely. Our goal was to make sure our families didn’t have to worry about anything other than getting back to their...

    Custom Planning Service

    Having spoken to friends that have gotten married before us and doing tons of research on my own, I knew we absolutely needed professional help if we wanted to pull off the wedding of our dreams. Joanna is a true expert and professional when it comes to planning and coordinating a wedding. From the first day we hired her, she gave us great advice and tools to keep us on track and recommended amazing vendors that executed our vision perfectly. She's an incredible listener, and an even better problem-solver. As part of the custom package she created for us, we had countless email exchanges and in-person meetings for over a year before our wedding, and she helped ease our...

    Finding Joanna was like finding my Fairy Godmother! I was traveling out of state every week for work and didn't know how I was ever going to plan a wedding too! The tools that Joanna provided to ensure that not a single detail was overlooked and nothing was forgotten in the months leading up to our wedding was absolutely perfect. She was so incredibly easy to work with -- my meetings with her felt like catching up with a friend! She was the perfect buffer and go-to person for all of my last minute needs the week of the wedding and Joanna did such an incredible job on the day of my wedding making sure that everything ran smoothly...

    Hiring Joanna as our month-of coordinator was one of our best wedding planning decisions. Even though our venue had a coordinator, I knew I wanted to have an outside source to go to for my specific wedding vision, as well as someone to watch over the venue coordinator/employees and the wedding day logistics. Joanna went above and beyond our month-of package. She attended tastings with us, offered countless suggestions from transportation vendors to aisle runners, and made sure each vendor was where they needed to be promptly on wedding day. She was always responsive via email/text. Joanna's spreadsheets, timelines and checklists were essential as we got closer to the wedding day, making sure we didn't miss a thing. I...

    I don't even know how to put into words how amazing Joanna and the Square Mile Events team is. I hired her for partial planning services and she kept me organized and focused throughout the planning process -- but in a fun, completely low-key and non-judgmental way. She was the most amazing presence throughout the entire process as well as on the day of our wedding -- I felt that I had an incredible new friend, as well as the most organized person in the NYC area! Please hire her and the team. I cannot recommend them enough.

    Joanna was a godsend. Even if your venue has a coordinator, you NEED her services. On your wedding day, do you want to be setting up decor, dealing with the inevitable hiccups and running down the street to pickup the forgotten decor item -- or do you want to be drinking champagne with your girls and celebrating with your husband? I am a type A, get it done kinda girl, but there is no level of bride that can execute her own wedding. We used Joanna for the month-of package (as I learned from her, there is no such thing as day-of coordinating really!) and I'm sure when my sister gets married we'll hire her for the whole planning...

    Michael and I are so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Joanna (and team) of Square Mile Events! We hired Joanna as a Day of Coordinator, but she and her team did much, much more than that! As I was planning my own wedding, I realized it was quickly approaching and I knew my vision would be complete if I had some help with scheduling the timing of events and coordinating with my vendors. Square Mile Events to the rescue! Joanna is professional, organized, enthusiastic, readily available in all forms of communication and extremely flexible. She goes above and beyond in providing recommendations, checklists, creative ideas and all things to make your wedding vision come to...

    You might be the most organized, type-A person on Earth, but no event will test your planning skills as much as your wedding will. The #1 reason why I hired Joanna at Square Mile Events is because I did not want those closest to me (i.e. my mom and dad) to do anything but enjoy themselves during my wedding weekend. Joanna reminds me of Olivia Pope from Scandal - “It’s handled!” No matter what crazy idea I threw at her (or hiccup that happened on the day of my wedding), Joanna handled it perfectly. Of all the wedding vendors I had, I am most thankful for her because of her astute sense of design, her responsibility, dependability, organizational skills,...

    I must say hiring Joanna and Square Mile Events was the best decision I made for my wedding. They were such a pleasure to work with and truly understood my vision. I couldn't have done it with out them! I was a bit overwhelmed with who was going to set up all the decor and be the point person throughout the day, until I met with Joanna. She immediately made my mind at ease. She was super organized, trustworthy, honest, reliable and her attention to detail was amazing. I had a 250 person wedding with a church ceremony and a tent reception. There were so many moving parts since the reception was on private property and we had to...

    After taking a hard look at our budget, we struggled with the decision to hire a wedding planner. We felt we had done a lot of planning and could get by on the day of with help from our family and friends. We. were. so. wrong.

    There are issues that will come up on the day of that you could not have remotely planned or prepared for (ex: we accidentally left all our vendor tips in the hotel room. Joanna and Christina saved us). We could list so many examples. Also, regardless of how much you prep, nothing compares to handing off the reins to someone you truly trust to make your dream wedding happen. Someone who...

    If you are wondering if you need a day of planner for your wedding you have come to the right place. Hiring Joanna and Square Mile Events was the best thing I could have done for my wedding and my overall stress level. Not only is Joanna a wonderful person but her attention to detail and organization is like no other. She has such a passion for events and will do whatever it takes to make sure all the pieces come together for your big day!

    As my now husband puts it... "I never could have gotten through the day without Joanna and team". Around the time I started thinking "there's no way this is all going to come together" a friend recommended reaching out to Joanna at Square Mile Events. We worked together in the weeks leading up to my wedding and it saved my sanity. Joanna helped get me organized. She coordinated with all my vendors and the venue. She handled EVERYTHING. I didn't have to do a thing! The whole night was absolutely perfect. I couldn't have dreamed it any better. I'd like to say that there wasn't a single issue... I have a feeling there were but Joanna handled everything! Which...

    I wish that there was a way to give more than five stars! Joanna was the most wonderful wedding planner and I can't imagine what I would have done without her! From start to finish, she was there with creative and unique ideas to make our wedding day perfect. Joanna has so much experience and she always knows what is up and coming in the wedding world. She had such wonderful ideas about the venue, flowers, vendors, music, menu, etc. and I never could have done it without her. Not only was she an amazing wedding planner, she was also always checking up on me and making sure that I was calm and ready for our big day. Joanna...

    Hiring a wedding planner, specifically Joanna and Mile Square Events was the best thing I did for my wedding and sanity. Part wedding planner, part therapist, person that is totally more into your wedding than you are Joanna fits the bill for all of these. Let's face it after a certain point no one wants to hear about your invitation font and paper weight...Joanna does!
    Planning a wedding no matter what the size is stressful and nerve wracking. Joanna expertly helped me in navigating the waters of wedding planning, from choosing a venue on down to checking invitation wording and fonts, over to looking through vendor contracts and letting me know what was expected and what was out...

    Where to begin....Joanna is as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside. She has a true passion for event planning as well as LOVE!

    She took time right from the beginning to make sure she had a clear vision of what we wanted for our day. From there on we got monthly check ins about our timeline and where we were. It was great. We knew each month leading up to the day what we should have accomplished etc.

    She came to every meeting/ was on every conference call. She helped us source a ton of stuff from Etsy as well as side vendors for things like an aisle runner and table runners. Always...

    To say that Joanna and the team at Square Mile Events are experts at wedding planning is an understatement! My fiancé (now husband) and I hired Joanna as a month of planner to help us make sure that all aspects of the wedding were on target and executed seamlessly since both our work/travel/personal schedules were going to be super hectic as the big day approached. As an events professional myself having done events for some of the best luxury brands in the industry, my expectations probably would have seemed unreasonable for some wedding planners - i.e.- every detail needed to be on point and flawless. Working with Joanna was a JOY - I would not hesitate to work with...
