NJOY Event Planning

This may sound cliche, but the simple truth is, we couldn't have done it without Nancy! From start to finish, Nancy drove our wedding from a granular concept to a remarkable reality. She paid close attention to every last detail, and made sure we were informed and comfortable with every decision being made throughout the entire process. Moreover, when we were forced to postpone our wedding for a year due to the pandemic, Nancy took on the brunt of that stress, and made sure all the vendors were seamlessly aligned for the following year. All in all, she worked for two years on our wedding, and we couldn't be more grateful! Not only was the product she produced incredible, but her support throughout the process was invaluable. While our experience is limited when it comes to weddings, it's hard to imagine that there's a better wedding planner out there. We would recommend Nancy to anyone seeking a detail oriented, organized, creative, and passionate wedding planner who's capable of making your dreams come true!

All I can say is I wish we could give Nancy & NJOY events more than 5 stars for this review...!!!! Hiring Nancy for our Vermont wedding was hands down the best decision we made in the entire process. From her incredibly kind and caring spirit, to her SUPREME organization of every single detail, to knowing each and every vendor personally up and down the East Coast and everything in between - Nancy and her entire team are simply the best in the business. With our outdoor wedding all planned, we had to last minute move everything inside due to inclement weather and given all the changes, our wedding **would not have gone off as smoothly as it did without her right there with beside us every step of the way. We hired Nancy for the final 3-5 months of wedding planning, and my gosh do I wish we had hired her the second we got engaged!! From day one of meeting her she grasped our Fall in the Mountains" Vermont vision in seconds and from then on out took care of every outstanding item. to make sure we felt stress free and were able to sit back and soak in all the magic of our wedding day. I truly looked forward to every conversation with Nancy and now look back in "awe" of how much she took care of and executed on leading up and day of. We cannot thank Nancy enough for everything she did to help us in the entire wedding planning process and making our wedding the greatest day of our lives!!!"

We began the wedding planning process more than a year in advance and had already identified a venue, caterers, a band, a photographer, a transportation company and a flower designer. However, the number of moving parts,) seemed overwhelming. When about 9 months before the wedding, we felt we were having trouble communicating with the venue and managing multiple details, we started looking for help. Nancy’s reviews were uniformly wonderful, so we contacted her. She got back to us almost immediately and fortunately had the weekend available.Nancy was professional, organized and detail-oriented from the beginning to the end of this process. She was also easy to work with. Nancy helped us keep on schedule with all the necessary dates and fill in gaps we didn’t even know we had, (like the need to find a dessert caterer for the welcome party and hiring a separate bartender). She was always “can-do” and worked hard to make us feel as if we were her first priority.Nancy introduced us to a spectacular cake baker who creates masterpieces with sugar paste. When we casually floated the possibility of using a canoe for a giant ice bucket, Nancy pounced on the idea and brought it to life. Most of all, Nancy listens and helps develop any ideas you have and comes up with ideas of her own. If one of her ideas is rejected, she immediately drops it and does not perseverate. She moves on.Planning a wedding is stressful and Nancy managed to make the process as stress-free as it could have been. She remains calm, cool and collected (even when my husband accidentally backed into her car). We are very happy that we hired her. Oh yes, and she doesn’t disappear when the event is over. She and her small, professional team set up and took down every last thing.

Nancy was a complete pleasure to work planning our wedding! When working with Nancy, she was able to discuss all of the nitty gritty details of our wedding weekend vision that she, and her team, helped us bring to life! We didn’t have to worry about a thing the entire weekend because we knew that Nancy was on it. Nancy was extremely helpful in setting up the wedding and coordinating with all of our vendors and venue. With so much experience under her belt, she was able to provide us with expertise guidance for planning, in addition to get us to think through things we would’ve never imagined for planning a wedding. Nancy was able to lay out options and new ideas to help enhance the wedding weekend activities that we had planned. Nancy was a great planner for our wedding!

Nancy Jeffries-Dwyer was hired as our event coordinator for my son’s wedding on May 22, 2022. She was simply extraordinary! Her organizational skills, kind heart, no nonsense work ethic and aesthetic taste and sensibility were unmatched by anyone else I’ve ever worked with. She is honest, fun and as hard a worker as I’ve ever seen! Nancy is easily accessible and You would be lucky to get Nancy for any event you are doing. I can’t wait to use Nancy’s services again for our next event. Beth C.

Nancy is one of the best, if not the best, at she does!In the initial conceptualization of what our wedding would look like, she took our half-formed ideas, improved upon them with excellent suggestions, and crafted a beautiful vision of the wedding far beyond what we initially had hoped for. From there, Nancy took great care to arrange all the different vendors and running quarterback - a no small logistical feat, with the utmost attention to detail and executing flawlessly all the way through. On the day of our wedding, Nancy took great care of us, letting us enjoy the day for ourselves, while executing on a military precision. One of the greatest and most heartfelt moment for us is when Nancy lent her own precious wedding necklace for the bride (fulfilling the something borrowed")

Nancy created a beautiful and memorable wedding for my daughter. She offered suggestions for appropriate vendors and helped us work through a myriad of details for each. Flowers, cake, tents, table and chairs, resort location, music, goody bags, rehearsal dinner and welcomer party, day-of schedule... everything and every detail was considered, worked out and executed to our satisfaction (except the weather, she is not in charge of rain!). We could not have been happier nor more satisfied... and Stowe is actually beautiful in the rain!

Nancy Jeffries-Dwyer and her team listened to my daughter and her fiancé in order to produce an event that matched and exceeded their hopes and dreams. They transformed a ski lodge into a magical, woodland wonderland and provided an extended weekend of detailed merriment. Since this was a destination wedding planned remotely it was critical to have people involved who knew the area. Nancy opened doors that we would never had known existed.Forever thankful we had Nancy with us this past year. She amazed.

Nancy was an exceptional listener and truly helped to bring our vision to life. She was professional, highly organized, understanding, and well connected. She introduces us to vendors well in advance to ensure that we were able to get what we wanted during an extremely busy wedding season. She took care of everything behind the scenes and made a true effort to ensure that myself and my husband weren't stressed the day of the wedding. She is by far one of the best event planners I have ever worked with and was able to show up for us in the way we needed. I highly recommend her for your wedding. She is truly amazing at what she does!

We knew Nancy would be a great fit from the day we met. She came to our first Zoom meeting with a binder that already had a photo of us on it, and we were immediately impressed! Nancy has several decades of experience & expertise. As I like to call her my fairy-god-planner, Nancy truly cares about her clients and her life's passion is creating unforgettable, magical experiences. She is prompt, communicative, organized, and always eager to help with a can-do attitude. She is well-known & respected in both her industry & community, which made acquiring and working with vendors a seamless process.She supported our vision with helpful suggestions. We had the best day ever and definitely have Nancy to thank for that!On a more personal note, we developed a strong connection with Nancy, and even though our special day has come & gone, I know we'll keep in touch! Can't recommend Nancy enough!
