Proud to share that CJES has won The Knot Best of Weddings 2023! This is our 4th win in a row and we couldn’t be more thankful for our clients!

I wanted to share some of the great things our 2022 couples had to say about us last year! It always warms my heart to hear about the positive experiences we create for our clients!

Looking for some wedding help in 2024, let’s talk! 💕

CJES has had a busy last couple of weeks and we’ve been able to watch these beautiful couples become husband and wife or celebrate their anniversary! Each wedding we’re blessed enough to be a part of is such an honor and we’re so glad we could play a role in each of these couples special days!

Please join us in wishing our clients a HUGE congratulations and a very happy marriage! 💕💕💕

5 more days until Taylor and Ryan tie the knot!! This has been such a fun couple to work with and I can’t wait to help their beautiful wedding be the day they always dreamed of!

Taylor and Ryan booked our Month of Coordination package, meaning we got to chat about their wedding every month leading up to their day and CJES communicated with all of their vendors and created their wedding day schedule! This is the perfect package for the couple who wants to handle the planning, but doesn’t want the stress of pulling all the details together that the end!

If that sounds like what you’re looking for, DM me! Let’s talk details!

Now, let’s get these two married! 💕

Hello everyone, Donna and Meredith here!

We hope you are having a lovely December and happy holiday season! With the new year approaching, we finally feel ready to announce some changes that are coming into play in 2022! Starting in January, Donna will be taking a small step back and Meredith will be taking over as owner of Creative Joy Event Solutions. We are so thankful that we were brought together 1.5 years ago and see this opportunity as a huge blessing for both of us. We can’t wait to see where CJES goes from here and we’re so excited to continue working with our clients and making their dreams a reality. So stick along for this ride and let’s all see where we go! 💕💒

We post a lot about weddings here because we REALLY love weddings! I'm not sure if that's a personality trait, but we certainly treat it like it is. Surpise!! CJES does other types of events too. 😄
We can bring our industry experience, work ethic, and design aesthetic to all the events in your life. Do you have to plan any bridal showers, rehearsal dinners, welcome parties, baby showers, family reunions, grand openings, business conferences, etc in the New Year?
Reach out for a free consultation to see the value and peace of mind having a professional on your side could bring. If you're still on the fence, head to the link in our bio for testimonials from previous clients who have worked with us for some of the event types listed above. We look forward to working with you! 👋

Hi everybody! As you may or may not know, my name is Meredith and I have been working with Donna over the last two years and we just realized we never formally introduced me to the instagram fam!

I live in Lynchburg (just like Donna) and I’m getting married in November to my fiancé Casey! I’ve lived several places over the years (North Carolina, Kansas, Missouri) and now I’m in Virginia for the long haul!

Some interesting facts about me is that I have two fur babies (Chili and Phoebe) and I am obsessed with vampire shows/movies and dystopian novels!

I’ve loved working with Donna during some of the wildest wedding seasons ever and I’m looking forward to continuing to work with our couples! Weddings are my passion and I love being able to help your vision come to life!

💕😽💒💕

We can’t believe that just two weeks ago we were rehearsing for this lovely couple’s wedding! It was such a beautiful day and such a beautiful couple. We’ll miss the monthly check-ins, long conversations, and navigating the crazy twists and turns the last year has brought us. We wish Kristin and Jake a long and happy marriage! 💖

Please don't forget about sunsets!!
Hopefully your photographer won't let you, but at CJES, we always build in a fifteen minute private time around sunset for photos. These are typically the most relaxed portraits and the magic captured during this session is unbeatable!
Let us know if you'd like help crafting your day-of schedule. This is one of our many strengths and it's SO IMPORTANT! Let an expert help you!

Some weddings end up feeling like a dream.
Every wedding takes a lot of work, but some take a special spot in the day dream carousel to draw inspiration from later on.
Thankful to all of the brides and grooms who trust us with their weddings! Contact us today if you'd like to talk about bringing your vision to life. We always offer free consultations and never pressure you to buy our services!

FLORALS!! 🌺🌸🌼🌹🌿
We love the beauty and freshness florals bring. They show our personality and adorn our brides, grooms, and VIPs.
But it’s hard sometimes, right? There can be so many unanswered questions: Who do you work with? What’s a fair market price? What if I want to DIY my florals? What happens to them after the event?
CJES offers full event design based on your vision, theming, venue specifics, and budget. We can transform that Pinterest-style inspiration into a practical vision. Event design if a part of our full planning package and can be selected as a service within our partial planning package. Reach out today to chat with us!!

Reminiscing on an amazing and intimate wedding we planned in September. 💕
Elizabeth and Alvin had to cut their guest list down substantially but we knew the intimate event would be the perfect way to begin their marriage. We are excited to celebrate with them now and in 2021 when we celebrate again with the entire guest list! 🍾🍾🍾

I couldn’t just select one pic, they were all so amazing!
