Meet the Owners: Felipe & Danielle
When Felipe's not taking us to try new cuisine, you’ll mostly find him working on backend operations, popping into a planning session with our couples, or helping me direct our team on wedding days.
operations manager • coffee snob
Felipe
When I'm not working on event design and logistics, you can find me exploring our world (hopefully abroad) with my husband Felipe and our dog, Bubba. I'm a proud dog mom, though some call him spoiled.
senior planner • cookie dough lover
Danielle
Hello! I’m Danielle, the heart behind Joyful Journey Engagements. A Phoenix native with a degree in Hospitality Management from Northern Arizona University, I have spent a decade working in events and hospitality. My journey began back in my school days, where I fell in love with the thrill of coordinating everything from intimate dinners to grand celebrations and theatrical events.
Witnessing friends navigate the overwhelming wedding planning process inspired me to create Joyful Journey Engagements. I had been helping loved ones plan their wedding on the side for years, when my best friend's groom's aunt pulled me aside at the farewell breakfast to insist I HAD to turn my experience into a business. I envision a world where couples can enjoy their engagement without the stress planning can bring, allowing them to focus on what truly matters: each other and their future marriage. I can't wait to meet you and chat about your wedding vision!
