You know you want to have a fabulous, stress free wedding. So, why does thinking about it sometimes send you into liiiiittle bit of a tailspin?

Maybe you’re feeling like:

  1. There’s just not enough time to get everything done
  2. Pinterest and magazines keep adding piles of “to dos” to your never ending list
  3. Everybody’s offering advice but no one is actually helping you

It’s officially time to bring a little bit of joy back into planning the “best day of your life”!

Hey, I’m Emily Decloux!

I’m a Toronto-based wedding planner, and I get it – sometimes making your vision come to life can be challenging, but I 100% believe that there is joy in every moment of creating your perfect wedding day! That’s why I created The Joy Factor, to bring the joy BACK to wedding planning. With our over 10 years of event planning and catering expertise, we’ve got all of your wedding planning needs covered – and we’re going to have so much fun while we do it!
