Backyard Wedding Planner for Private Estates & Weddings at Home
turning familiar spaces into unforgettable celebrations
At Joyful Journey Engagements, we specialize in transforming everyday spaces into the perfect wedding venue, making sure your celebration is as logistically sound as it is beautiful. And because at-home and private estate weddings come with unique challenges, we include a minimum of four experienced team members on your wedding day to ensure you don’t have to lift a finger!
Transforming everyday spaces into the perfect wedding venue.
There’s something truly magical about turning a cozy or familiar place into the backdrop for one of the most important days of your life. Whether it’s your own backyard, a family estate, or a private residence with unmatched charm, these weddings offer an intimacy and homeyness you simply can’t find at a traditional venue.
Extra logistics, handled with ease —
From AV, restrooms, weather contingencies, and rentals to parking, transportation, and local regulations, we plan ahead so you can relax and enjoy the day.
Creative layout & flow design —
We go the extra mile for whatever your wedding needs. JJE has you taken care of, whether that means crafting to-scale layouts that ensure guest comfort or bringing creative ideas to maximize aesthetic appeal and create a smooth flow for the day.
Protecting the property you love —
We take extra care before, during, and after the party to ensure your lawns, architectural features, and statement pieces stay in pristine condition.
Filling the venue coordinator role —
Because there’s no built-in venue team, we step in to cover those responsibilities and can assist with extras like heavy-lifting setup or white glove add-on services.

OUR LUXURY APPROACH

Emily & Dalton
Danielle gave our event undivided and careful attention. [JJE] was ON IT. Danielle asked all the questions I wasn’t thinking about. She was fantastic with timelines, logistics and details. She made sure things like DJ hook ups, set up logistics, food details were all sorted. She seamlessly took over communication with our vendors and tied up all final loose ends. Danielle gave me complete peace of mind and gave me the gift of relaxation of my wedding day.
"I tried to plan my wedding without help but ultimately realized I’d need support if I wanted to enjoy my day fully."
Signature Wedding Planning Packages
Bring Your Backyard or Private Estate Wedding to Life with Our
We believe in planning experiences that feel as personal as your vows, which is why we offer three distinct levels of service that can be personalized to best fit your planning needs:
A traditional venue is built to host weddings and already has the infrastructure in place. Think staffing, rentals, power, restrooms, and a built-in point of contact to oversee venue operations the day of. A backyard or private estate wedding means we build those elements from scratch, but it also means you have complete freedom to design your day exactly how you envision it!
It depends. While you save on venue rental fees, the need to rent and coordinate items like restrooms, tents, lighting, power, and additional staffing can often balance out the cost or even outweigh the venue savings.
The benefit? Those investments are fully customized to your event for an extra cozy and welcoming celebration.
We’ll guide you through every step, from assessing the space for guest comfort and vendor access to protecting landscaping and ensuring your property is wedding-ready.
It truly felt like I had a friend during this stressful time, and Danielle was super organized and checked everything off the list. She was reassuring that my event would be fun and beautifully decorated. I recommend having a wedding coordinator at your wedding, and I 100 percent recommend Danielle at yours.
