Joyful Journey Engagements
We empower multicultural couples with a bespoke wedding planning experience, crafting highly intentional weddings across the Americas.
The JJE Mission
Our Personalized Wedding Planning Approach
We know every love story is unique, so your wedding should be too.
Seamlessly weave together traditions and never-seen-before details that honor both your backgrounds, creating a celebration that is fully yours. Our focus on personalized service ensures every detail reflects your vision.
Our home base may be Phoenix, Arizona (Danielle’s hometown), but our hearts are always ready for adventure. Living and working abroad sparked our love for exploring new cultures, languages, and cuisines... and we pour that same passion into every wedding we touch, whether it unfolds in sunny Arizona or abroad.

Danielle treats your wedding as she would her own. She made me feel as if I was her one and only bride. Danielle made the biggest day of our lives the most remarkable one. I 100% recommend her to every couple and hope every couple has the opportunity to work with her so their dream wedding can come true.
"Investing in [JJE] was our best move."

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!
