Refined planning. Thoughtful design. Seamless execution.
At The Joys of June, wedding planning is approached as both an art form and a discipline.
A beautifully planned wedding is never accidental. It is the result of discernment, experience, and a deep understanding of how each detail contributes to the whole.
Our work is rooted in a tailored, highly considered approach. No two celebrations should feel the same, and we guide each couple through a planning process that is both structured and seamless—allowing space for creativity while ensuring every element is thoughtfully managed.
With a calm, assured presence, we oversee the details that define an exceptional event. From orchestrating complex logistics to collaborating with a trusted network of vendors, every decision is approached with clarity and intention. The result is a planning experience that feels refined, organized, and entirely effortless.
True luxury is not only how something looks—it is how it feels.
Throughout the process, every element is handled behind the scenes so you can remain fully present. And on the wedding day, nothing feels rushed or uncertain. It simply unfolds—exactly as envisioned.
This approach is not by chance—it is shaped by experience, perspective, and a lifelong appreciation for meaningful gatherings.
These meaningful gatherings have long been a natural part of my world.
Raised in a military family, I grew up surrounded by gatherings that were both meaningful and meticulously executed—from formal ceremonies to thoughtfully hosted occasions at home. That early exposure shaped not only my appreciation for events, but my understanding of what makes them truly memorable.
My career began at James Madison University (Roll Dukes!), where an initial focus in public relations evolved into hands-on experience in event production. What began as an internship quickly became a defining direction.
Following graduation, I refined my experience through event roles with Kendra Scott and later Keswick Vineyards, where I served as the Special Events Manager and Planner. It was there that my work naturally evolved into a focus on weddings—where logistics, design, and emotion intersect in a way unlike any other event.
Today, as a wedding planner, my approach is grounded in understanding each couple—their story, their style, and how they want their wedding to feel. Because beyond the details, a wedding is something deeply personal—a moment that marks both a celebration and a beginning, one I am honored to help bring to life.
Bien à vous, Colleen

Why “The Joys of June?”
OUR STORY
The name carries both meaning and memory.
“The Joys of June,” or Les Joies de Juin, was inspired by my Thai grandmother, Juin—whose presence was defined by warmth, generosity, and an unmistakable sense of joy.
She was simply full of joy and warmth, bringing an effortless sense of lightness to every gathering and everyone around her—a presence that continues to shape how I approach celebrations today.
The name also holds a quieter significance. June is the month in which both my parents and grandparents were married, making it a time that has long symbolized celebration and new beginnings in my own life.
In many ways, The Joys of June reflects all of this: a sense of legacy, a love of gathering, and a belief that the most memorable celebrations are the ones that feel as beautiful as they look.
