Josy's Events

Josy was a heaven sent. Up until I hired Josy, I really was planning my wedding all by myself. My mother passed away several years ago, and in many ways Josy was there in the moments I needed my mom. I hired Josy as a day-of wedding planner, but the months leading up to my wedding, she was available whenever I needed her. On three occasions she made herself available to meet me after her working hours to accommodate my schedule. She provided me with a very helpful timeline for the months leading up to the wedding and followed up monthly to check in on my progress. She stepped in to help with contract issues with the venue, I always felt like Josy was on my side and all she ever wanted to do was make me happy. However, she is frank and honest, if there was something that was impossible, or couldn't be done, she would be honest and say so. I appreciated this so much.On my wedding day Josy was in her element! She ran my wedding from setup to take down. She packed all our gifts in our car, she made sure we actually ate by dodging guest who tried to come up to our sweet heart table, she made sure I was drinking water, and also fed me cake while I was too busy dancing. I was so happy not to be hungover the day after my wedding, I credit that to Josy, for making sure I ate and also drank water. You would think at 33 I would know how to do this on my own, but once the party started, all I wanted to do was dance and drink wine. I would recommend Josy to anyone getting married, she is affordable, friendly, professional, and you won't be disappointed. Thank you Josy for all your hard work! More...

Josy has been a long time family friend but when she does business she means business! She made sure my wedding went off without a snag.  We had a few vendors that were giving us some trouble and she contacted them and got them to commit to contracts... Everything in writing! If you want an event to go smoothly without any stress, the day of especially, please please give Josy a call.  She also was my florist for the big day and let me tell you, her floral designs were just gorgeous! If you want the entire package, talk to Josy. More...

I met Josy back in 2015 when she did my moms wedding. I got married since then and I knew exactly who to go to, she did a flower crown and medium size bouquet for me. The flowers were so fresh and vibrant. Next year when we have our reception and we will definitely go to Josy.Thank you Josy for a beautiful experience! More...

Josy is one of the most personable, knowledgeable and helpful florist/business woman I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. Josh's Events, staff are amazing and do a wonderful job. Josy personally helped my father pick out a beautiful arrangement for my recent birthday dinner. I've gone to many florist over the years and this one is by far the best. I look forward to doing more business with them. More...

I contracted josys events to help me throw my girlfriend a surprise party, surprisingly enough I got Josy herself, not an assistant or employee. She was very professional and helped me come up with a theme and ideas for food, she also helped me on deciding a budget. Day of the event I took my girlfriend to Disneyland all day and trusted josy to come through for me. This was all done at my house, in the back yard. I was worried because it had begun to rain but when I arrived with my girlfriend everything was done beautifully! With wine bottles on the tables with candles and she had even provided some tents to keep everyone dry. Absolutely fantastic planning and decor! I've recommended her to a few friends and she has done some great weddings for them as well. Super reasonable pricing, extremely friendly and creative! She worked with my small budget and through a huge party! She also has her own flower shop so she can help you with flowers and arrangements as well. Will definitely be calling her again when it's time to start planning my wedding! More...

Josy did great work as our halfway wedding planner and day off coordinator for our June 13, 2015 Wedding. During the early planning of my wedding i had decided i was not going to have a wedding planner because i thought i could do it all by myself but I was wrong. I started getting very stressed out and I felt that I had nothing done. Thats when my husband decided he would hire a wedding planner to help me with all the stress. We talked to a couple and he was mainly not convinced. Then we met with Josy and from the initial meeting my husband felt confident she would be the one to help me deal with everything. That same day we talked everything wedding related and I felt I got more stuff done in those 2 or 3 hours we spent with her that day than I had gotten done on my own in 3 months. Josy knows what she's doing and she gets things done. She replied promptly to my messages and returned my call right away when I would call her. For a bride that is very important, you will go crazy if people don't respond right away lol. I don't consider myself a bridezilla but i was definitely a procrasinator lol Josy helped keep me on track with everything i needed to get done. On the day of the wedding not once did i feel like things where not going to get done, she had everything ready to go and I never had to worry about anything related to the planning or the vendors that day. I totally recommend her as a planner and whenever i need a planner in the future I will definitely look for her. She is also a florist and I do regret not hiring her as my florist, although our florist did a good job Josy does some amazing arrangements. BTW her husband Tom helps her and he is the nicest person ever!!! They are both great and know what they are doing. Thanks Josy and Tom for helping us have an amazing  Wedding day!!! :) We will forever be grateful to you guys :) More...

I met Josy a few months ago, looking to secure an event planner for my husband's 60 Birthday party at our home.  Once I met Josy, I recognized that I had found an event planner with the eye for detail, passion, creativity and professionalism that was looking for.  Josy was/is amazing!! With enthusiasm and passion, Josy provided guidance and thoughtful suggestions that made the planning seamless and the actual event spectacular.  On the day of the event, everything showed up on time (tables, chairs, other rental equipment, flowers, attendants, etc...) and there were no surprises/substitutions. I was able to celebrate and enjoy the event with my husband, our family and friends with Josy supervising every detail of the preparation and actual event, keeping our home and guest as a priority.  We received so many complements on the event (culinary selection/presentation and the spectacular floral arrangements and personalized gift bags).  I'm still in awe at how perfect this memorable occasion was for us. With my unpredictable weekly travel schedule, I don't know what I would have done without Josy's insight, guidance, support, creativity, energy and passion to bring to life a few ideas and concepts that I started with.  The day after the event I had to travel, but went to bed with no worries/stress because Josy turned the house back to me, exactly as she said she would, in the same condition it was prior to the event.  Josy and her team were meticulous, considerate and professional.  She and her team blended into the event like family. Thank you again!! Josy and her team deserve a 5+ rating!! More...

Yes Indeed! Josy's Events (Josy Johnson) is definitely as good as it gets! I would give 10 starts if it is available. I am a newlywed not too long ago (April 23, 2011) and Josy was our wedding coordinator. So much things to say, I met Josy back in September 2010 when I decided that I would not be able to coordinate a decent wedding on my own, hahaha. I have spoken with 7 event coordinators in southern California before I met her and thank goodness the heaven have allowed her to fall in my arms. She has a great personality, have so many great ideas of her own but respectfully takes to heart what the client wants and is so ready to make an event the way the clients envision the event. She and her team which includes Mr. Tom are spectacular!!! They love what they do, love their work and gives more than 100% of their time and effort to enable a very successful event. In conclusion, we had a marvelous wedding one that was just once in my dream but now became a reality that can be seen through our wonderfu weddingl pictures. So when it comes to event planning, if you don't hire her, then you will be missing out!! More...

I have to give Josy 5 stars.   I met Josy last month when I was invited to my sisters 4 hour food menu tasting for her wedding.  Josy is such a small little thing but she has a HUGE personality and it is awesome to see her put all that energy into whoever her client is.As I helped my sister get ready for her wedding...she would have Josy on speed dial with any questions or concerns she had and Josy would take care of it right away!My sisters wedding day finally arrived and as I walked to the reception hall @ the hotel..I was amazed!  I saw Josy and her assistant running around making sure everything was set up and perfect for my sister.In the end...everything was like a fairy tale!  Josy did an amazing job with putting my sisters wedding together and making sure everything went according to plan! I would definitely hire Josy for any party planning event.....If you are looking for a wedding planner or someone to plan your next event....pick JOSY!! More...

Josy's coordinated out first ever annual corporate event. Being a small business she really took us to the next level. She played a key role and was pretty much like a member of our company. She even came to the event professionally dressed to match our company colors .It really made our company image attractive and professional. All our guests were so impressed they called it the event of the year and we are talking some high profile CEO's and Executives of large companies.  Her husband Tom also assisted and is such a pleasure to work with. With such success I hired her personally for my wedding this year and again has thus far exceeded my expectations. not very often do you find someone who is really genuine and cares about service and us as people. We shopped out about 6 other event coordinators who were recommended by friends and I must say i'm so glad we found Josy. More...

"I wasn't too keen on hiring a wedding coordinator for my big day, but Josy made me feel at ease with the idea, she pulled through 100%. The wedding came nothing short of spectacular, not even to mention how affordable it can be. Every detail in every moment was perfect. I'd highly recommend Josy Events to anyone planning a special event in their lives." - Ana B. More...

My biggest regret in wedding planning is not hiring Josy as my first vendor. I am a bride on a budget and didn't believe that I have the money to hire a wedding planner in my budget. Little that I know that the savings she has helped me with was more than her price. I was still blessed that I got the chance to work with her halfway through my wedding, by that point I had overpaid for my florist, didn't negotiate with the venue maximally and almost retain a DJ that I was not too crazy about. Josy is so generous with her time and smiles, she is so easy to work with and has found me vendors that is also easy to work with.Brides please do not do what I did, do not retain someone just because they are your family friend. Weddings are expensive and an unclear contract means you are at the mercy of your vendors. Finding the dress is the easiest and best part of wedding planning. Everything after that consist of the dull and scary chore of reading contracts and making sure you are not had by your vendors.Josy renegotiate the contract with my venue, found me a new florist at half the price, found a cheaper and nicer DJ, found me a lighting and decoration guys and got me all this extra stuff ; she drove to every meeting with vendors, read the contract and even negotiate with them. Not to mention she is generous with her time and hugs -trust me you need it after a while. She drove with me to downtown LA and came up with saving tips during my florist meeting. She also took me to the wholesaler and we found everything under the sun. she also stop me from buying certain things downtown since she could get it cheaper elsewhere.  I wished she could help organize my life too and read all of my other contracts =) .  I love Josy and I think she deserves 10 stars for saving me from unscrupulous vendors.
