Love Notes

If you are looking for someone to put all your trust in and completely alleviate you from any stress during not only your wedding day but the whole experience LOOK NO FURTHER! Nancy (and her team) is absolutely incredible!!! My mom and I are very type A people and never thought we’d hire a wedding planner until COVID hit and we had to reschedule our wedding. Nancy truly saved us lots of stress and provided invaluable insight to helping create the wedding I’ve always dreamed of! Nancy came on after we rescheduled the wedding and about 10 months away from the new date. We “had” Nancy with us for monthly meetings several months out from the wedding, but as we got closer, we had more frequent and longer meetings. She and her team were with us for 3 days, coordinated numerous vendors, a pandemic, and several locations with ease. I’d gladly get married again if I knew I had Nancy in my corner! So happy we got the opportunity to work together, Nancy! Brides and MOBs, rest assured, you’re in the most capable hands!

Working on our destination wedding during Covid could have been a nerve-racking experience, however we were fortunate to have Nancy Jeffries-Dwyer recommended to us early in the planning stages. I can honestly say that I think I would've fallen apart without her. She handled ALL the details with such expertise and grace. She managed everything in a timely and efficient manner, leaving no detail left undone. Nancy dealt with the vendors, had fantastic suggestions, knew literally everyone and never once seemed tired!! From the very first phone conversation months ahead of the wedding to the night of the event I was confident in her abilities and experience. She never let us down. Not only is Nancy efficient and experienced, she's also a joy to work with. I wish everyone could have Nancy as their wedding planner. Mothers of the bride and brides would all be calm and happy just like we were!!

Working with Nancy took so much stress away from the wedding planning process, and day of she was irreplaceable. From the first time we met with her, Nancy showed she was extremely knowledgeable since she has a connection everywhere because of how often she works with other vendors in Vermont. Throughout the process she checked in and made sure we were thinking about every detail of the big weekend. On Friday of wedding weekend we had a welcome party and needed a lot of help setting up, and Nancy and her assistant showed up and literally made everything happen, keeping us calm and allowing us to have tons of fun that night. The day of the wedding Nancy was at the venue setting up before I even got there for hair and makeup, and truly made the day as magical as it possibly could have been. I would have been running around, stressed all day without her. She even brought my dress and all gifts back to the room for us so we didn't leave anything behind that night. Super appreciative of all of her help, she helped make our day stress-free, and absolutely perfect!

Nancy Jeffries-Dwyer of NJoy Weddings & Events did an amazing job planning (and managing) our destination wedding at the Edson Hill resort in Stowe, Vermont which took place this October. Our celebration was delayed a year due to Covid 19. Throughout the process, Nancy kept us well informed, gave us great advice and helped us make important decisions. Nancy has been planning weddings and events for a long time, so her recommendations on venue, vendors and theme were always perfect. In addition to having a warm and engaging personality, Nancy is extremely organized, detail oriented and focused. She's also quite the amateur meteorologist – her decision on the day of the wedding to move our ceremony up an hour prevented what would have been a very wet disaster! Pulling off a destination wedding isn't easy. Thanks to Nancy, our wedding was everything that we dreamed of. We will always be grateful to her for the memories she helped create.

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!

Nancy was our full wedding planner for our wedding at Trapp Family Lodge in summer 2021. My wife and I both work full time and didn't have time to fully manage our own planning. Nancy was highly responsive, an expert at managing our local vendor team, and a great partner to us. We loved working with Nancy and would highly recommend her for any wedding in Vermont.

I truly believe our coming together was meant to be. Working with you the past few months has been so much fun. I could not have done it without you – who knew so much went into planning a wedding!

Words cannot really express what an amazing wedding planner Nancy is! I had the wedding of my dreams and know that it was in large part due to Nancy’s organizational skills, wonderful aesthetic sense, and boundless energy! Nancy’s tireless efforts and professionalism exceeded all of my expectations. I could not have had my dream wedding without her.

Nancy walked us through every possible scenario to make sure we had the best wedding possible. She spent many hours getting to know us and discussing all our dreams, wishes and ideas. I didn’t think it was possible but I was able to relax and just enjoy our magical day under Nancy’s care.

Nancy is the best! She helped make all our wedding dreams come true! She is professional, easy to communicate with, and doesn’t miss a single detail. Nancy handled anything we threw at her, which was actually quite a bit due to COVID - from halting all planning, to deciding we were back on, to downsizing to 1/5 to original size, then downsizing even more, then adding people back in - she kept calm and worked out all of the details with our vendors so we could be relaxed and stress-free. She is respectful of the bride and grooms tastes and opinions, and worked with us to make sure our vision came to life. It was truly a pleasure to work with her!!! A fantastic woman who we couldn’t have planned such an incredible event without!

Nancy Jeffries-Dwyer has impressed us more than we could possibly imagine. Who would’ve guessed that there is SOOO much to consider when planning a wedding? We would’ve been completely lost without her! She had all of the answers to our hundreds of questions, and was so responsive that she actually answered most of them before we even thought to ask.

Nancy just makes things happen. She made a to-do list and a timeline and held us to the deadlines that we needed to make. She knew exactly what vendors would match our budgetary goals, and all of her recommendations were spot on.

She is also clearly a born leader. When the big day finally came, she was somehow everywhere all at once, ensuring that everything ran smoothly. Even when a last-minute rainstorm forced a change in venue, she kept us calm and was the ultimate “cat herder.” She got everyone indoors for a ceremony that was just as magical as the one that we had originally planned. All of our guests were truly wowed!

You won’t do better than Nancy Jeffries-Dwyer. She’s talented, highly experienced, and thinks of every possible consideration. Our big day was AMAZING, PERFECT, and FUN! Thank you, Nancy!!!!!

I can’t begin to thanks Nancy and her team for making our daughter’s wedding the most wonderful event possible. I considered planning the event myself but quickly learned how much I didn’t know. In steps Nancy. Her attention to detail, her knowledge of the vendors in the area and her ability to adjust to any crisis (like an unexpected rain cloud for our outdoor ceremony) are unparalleled. She transformed our barn welcome reception into a charming Vermont soirée complete with Adirondack chairs, fire pits with s’mores, twinkle lights and a whiskey barrel bar. Then she coordinated a last-minute switch from outdoor to indoor ceremony with barely a hiccup. And a ski base lodge was transformed into an elegant wonderland with dozens of small details. Most helpful was her knowledge of what needs to be arranged and when. We could not have pulled off such an exquisite event without her. She and her team truly outdid all of our expectations. What a special weekend we had. We are truly grateful!

Nancy was an unbelievable wedding coordinator. She was a delight to work with on our end, she had so many good ideas and kept us on track with our own preparations, and she made our wedding day entirely stress-free. I think one of the ways that her impact was most obvious, was in the response from vendors-- they all LOVED working with her. I think that speaks volumes. I would recommend Nancy to ANYONE planning a wedding-- it is obvious that she excels at anything from a small backyard wedding to the most lavish of celebrations. I look forward to seeing pictures of her future projects :)

I have one daughter, so I'd never done this before and really didn't know what to expect. Nancy did a great job of laying out all the things to think about up front. She made us aware of the need to reserve certain vendors quickly (as they can be booked up more than a year in advance). When changes had to be made, she was great at finding a middle ground. When the wedding weekend came around, Nancy and her team were always at hand but never in the way. If there was an issue, she'd tell me about it and then tell me how she planned to solve it. The result was one of the best weddings I've ever been to - and I got to enjoy it as if I were a guest! Because of Nancy and her team, a life event is now a lifetime of happy memories.
