Creating Joyful Moments | Event Planning & Design

My husband and I had the privilege of working with Chloe Jackson and Jenna Bowen from Creating Joyful Moments to plan and coordinate our June 2025 wedding. I found Chloe through social media, and knew immediately I wanted to work with her. From our first zoom meeting, I could tell how professional and charismatic Chloe was. She immediately put us at ease, and ensured us she would guide us every step of the way through our wedding planning journey. And that she did! From providing advice on overall color schemes, to the wording on our invitations, she truly made the planning process so enjoyable and relaxing. She was there for every vendor meeting, asking the questions we probably would have never thought of. She was always there to answer any questions we had, and was very prompt in all her responses. She ensured that our vision was brought to life in every aspect, and if anything didn’t reflect that she advocated for us until it was exactly what we wanted. I would like to think I am a very type A, super organized person but with wedding planning there are so many little details we would not have thought of if it weren’t for Chloe. Florals were something super important to me from the beginning, and Chloe worked extremely close with our florist to ensure every detail and flower was perfect. On the day of our wedding, Jenna Bowen was our lead coordinator along with her two other team members. Jenna came in due to unforeseen circumstances, but you would have thought she had been planning with us for the year and a half that we were planning. Her adaptability and professionalism is admirable. Our first meeting with her, she knew every detail down to the silverware placement. We didn’t have to explain anything to her, she knew everything and was ready to lead. She was with us at rehearsal and all day/night of the wedding. She was there and ready to answer any question, and handle any blip that could’ve occurred. Our wedding day ran so smooth, it felt like a movie, it was perfect. She was extremely kind, calming, and we couldn’t have asked for a better person to lead/execute our wedding. Our wedding could not have been more perfect, and we have the Creating Joyful Moments team to thank for that. We truly feel so lucky to have had them through our journey and would recommend them to any and all couples looking for a wedding planner/coordinator.

Chloe was fantastic as our day of coordinator! She started meeting with us about 3 months out, but was available for any and all questions from the moment we hired her. Day of, her team was excellent! Everything went so smoothly and it is largely due to her team and the effort she puts into your day of timeline and working with all of the vendors. I cannot say enough about Chloe and her team - but the best part about hiring her is that SHE is awesome! It was important to me that our wedding planner around us day of was full of joy and had a great personality/energy. She was exactly that!!! My only regret with her? That we didn’t choose a bigger package to be able to work with her for even longer. We loved Chloe and she is right choice for your wedding planner needs!

Chloe was the very first decision we made in the wedding planning process, even before choosing a venue! After seeing her immaculate coordination and professionalism (not to mention that pristine timeline) at a close family member's wedding, we knew immediately that we needed Chloe and the CJM team for ours. Chloe was always available to talk through any questions we had or bounce ideas off on. She provided a sense of calm throughout stressful planning moments and made sure that every detail would be taken care of, which it was. The entire wedding day was absolute PERFECTION! It was THE BEST day! What stands out is how genuine Chloe and her team are. They took the time to truly prioritize us as a couple (& our families) on wedding day, allowing us to take a breath and soak in every moment. Chloe and CJM is by far the best decision you will make. We not only had the best wedding coordinator, but also gained a great friend!

CJM made wedding planning so much easier! Chloe started working with me about a year out from our wedding. She made everything smooth and had all of the right questions at the right time. As we approached the wedding date she worked with all of the vendor so the day would come together perfectly. CJM was one of the best decisions I made wedding planning and would recommend Chloe to everyone!

Okay, hear me out — you NEED a wedding planner/wedding day coordinator, and the CJM team IS IT! Let this be your sign!!! As someone who loves organization and detail, I found wedding planning exciting and fun at first. But as the process went on, it quickly became overwhelming: "How do I find the best vendors?" "What vendor package do I choose?" "Who’s going to coordinate the wedding day?" "Who’s going to cue me to walk down the aisle?" The list was endless! Then, I found Chloe through Instagram, and it was truly a gift from God. From our very first Zoom meeting, I knew I wanted to work with her and the CJM team. Chloe’s enthusiasm and kindness helped make our journey to the big day so special, offering not only guidance but also encouragement every step of the way. Her attention to detail and commitment to ensuring everything went smoothly on our wedding day was unmatched. This is the team you want by your side on your wedding day. I’ll forever cherish how perfect our wedding day was, all because of Chloe's dedication and expertise in making it possible. I could go on and on, but here’s the summary: choosing CJM was, without a doubt, one of the BEST decisions we made for our wedding. It’s worth every penny, and you will not regret it!

If you are looking for a planner or coordinator at any capacity I HIGHLY recommend Creating Joyful Moments. My husband and I worked with Chloe as our month of coordinator and she went above and beyond what we could have asked for (or known to ask for!!) She eliminated the stress of planning a big event and made me feel at ease knowing every detail was accounted for and everything was going to fall into place on the wedding day. As far as Chloe's service on our wedding day, we could not have been more pleased. She made sure everything was set up exactly how we wanted, made sure everything was happening on time, and checked in with us as the night went on. Her day of schedule was extremely helpful and in fact, kept our wedding day 30 minutes ahead of schedule. Chloe is a joy to work with, she is extremely kind, organized, and professional.

Future Brides and Grooms: If you read one review as you start the wedding planning process, LET IT BE THIS ONE. Before I got married, I used to think brides who said their wedding was the "best day of their lives" were full of it. I mean, even if it was an amazing day, don’t weddings always mean at least a little stress and craziness? Now that I’m married, I still think a lot of brides are full of it. However, when it comes to me and my husband, our wedding day was without a doubt THE BEST day of our lives by a long shot - and that is all because of Chloe and her team at Creating Joyful Moments (CJM). After we got engaged, we knew we wanted a full service wedding planner. We met with several great planners in the Indy area with great reviews - but from the first 2 minutes of our meeting with Chloe it was clear that she was the obvious choice. I vividly remember (almost 2 years ago from writing this review) her genuine passion and excitement for us and for our wedding. Her energy was palpable. If you are on the fence about a wedding planner…HIRE THE PLANNER. This will be the one time in your life that all of your favorite people will be in one place to celebrate you and your partner. It is absolutely worth it to have an expert plan and execute such a momentous event. But why Chloe? Why CJM? Chloe and her team take the time to get to know you. By wedding day, I’m pretty sure Chloe knew me better than I knew myself! She was able to take my broad ideas and turn them into something far beyond what I could have imagined. For example, my idea of ‘I want a colorful wedding’ became color blocked tables that had an ombre effect throughout the reception space and JAW DROPPING hanging florals above the dance floor. Chloe and her team are TRUE professionals. Here is just one of many examples: it rained the day of our wedding. It was cloudy, but dry, all day up until about 30 minutes before I was going to walk down the aisle. The aisle that was outside. Now, I am relaying this story as it has been told to me from guests and family members, because, on our wedding day, my husband and I were calmly ‘waiting out a little bit of rain’ in a private room. Our arriving guests were escorted into an indoor space to stay out of the rain. The ceremony musicians wouldn’t play in the rain, so as they were packing up their things, Chloe was getting our DJ (who was originally only supposed to be at our reception) set up at our ceremony space so that we would still be able to have music at the ceremony. To this day I truly do not understand how Chloe and her team did it, but at 4:30 PM on the dot, I was standing at the end of the aisle with my dad; music playing, chairs dry, guests in their seats, a gentle mist falling. And as guests rose and my dad and I started to walk, the rain stopped. Thanks to Chloe and her team, we can say it (and mean it): our wedding day was a dream come true. The best day of our lives. Chloe and her team were our sunshine on our rainy wedding day.
