WEDDINGS & EVENTS
The Ultimate Hosting Experience
It’s not enough to host an event — you want to host an experience. One that exhilarates your guests, encapsulates your personality, and ends the idea of “status quo.”
This is a House of Joy specialty. Our process is incredibly purposeful, centering each step — from planning, to design, to production and management of your event — on you. Each House of Joy event is as distinct as the people being celebrated. Our intentional focus on color, texture, personality, lighting, and all five senses will result in a bespoke event that will keep your guests talking for years to come.
“The executed design was stunningly beautiful and uniquely us.”

Corporate Event Planning
Our Process
1.Planning Every Detail — Planning begins with location scouting, event conceptualization, budget management, and vendor selection and communication. We handle the logistics of vendor management, contract review, meeting preparation, site visits, and create and manage the entirety of your distinct event process. This is the carefully crafted foundation on which we build your event design.
2. Designed For You — Your event design will be authentic, timeless, and cohesive, thanks to our unique process that infuses your personality and aesthetics into every detail. Our approach includes creating a mood board, design plan, sketches, floor plans, and selecting perfect vendor partners. You have a unique story and we are here to tell it!
3. We Take It From Here — Managing your event begins 2 – 3 months out in most cases, including finalizing the vendors, creating a detailed itinerary and timeline, organizing transportation, and installing your designs. Our team will be on-site throughout your wedding or event to produce the atmosphere we planned, oversee each detail, and see you through the end of the night.
