Today we’d like to introduce you to Rachel Robinson.
So, before we jump into specific questions about the business, why don’t you give us some details about you and your story.
Joyful Events and Weddings was born after my husband and I became engaged. I have always been a very organized, and detail-oriented person, so planning a wedding, to me, was one of the best parts about getting engaged (except, of course, than that it meant I was going to marry my wonderful husband!) I loved the hours it took researching vendors, picking colors, but I realized that not everyone is like that as I watched a few friends start planning their weddings. That is where Joyful Events and Weddings was born! First, it started as a hobby- helping friends and family here and there with various planning or design for their weddings. Then it kind if became almost a joke of ‘you should do this for real!’ that I just kind of laughed off. But it wasn’t until a venue offered to hire me and the thought of it made my heart skip a beat that I realized I really did want to do this! But I wanted to do it my way. Sure, it could have been easy to take more money to work for a big venue, but that meant doing things their way, for their price. I wanted to have the option to be flexible to each bride’s budget and needs.
Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
I have never regretted it! There was a small learning curve with making marketing decisions, business cards, the little things you don’t think of when you start a business. But I am extremely fortunate to have such a loving, supportive husband and family encouraging me along the way!
Joyful Events and Weddings – what should we know? What do you guys do best? What sets you apart from the competition?
So Joyful Events and Weddings specializes in customized planning and coordinating packages for each bride. I like to meet with each bride and hear about her vision for her wedding, what she needs help with, and also to make sure that I meet up to her expectations. Each relationship with each bride is special and unique and it is important that I am able to get to truly know her as I help walk with her through this incredible fun (and busy!) season of her life. I think that is one of the things I am most proud of, and that sets Joyful Events and Weddings apart. I truly take the time to customize each package and price to each bride, and that’s something I would not have been able to do working for someone else. My goal is to make sure that I am able to save each bride money, while helping to make her dreams a reality within her budget to the best of my ability. The time you spend planning your wedding, in reality, ends up going so fast, and so you want to make sure you are able to enjoy this season as well as invest in your upcoming marriage as well! That is where Joyful Events and Weddings comes in!
What is “success” or “successful” for you?
For me, to be successful is not a number, or a dollar amount. It is helping as many brides as I can to make this first day of the rest of her marriage as amazing as possible!
