Event planning in NYC and destinations
About
Calm & confident in the midst of magic
We’ll take care of the rest.
You want to remember
the way you felt. So simply be present.
When you look back at your event, you want to remember the dance floor, the ambiance, the food, and the people.
Your partner in planning
I’m Veronica Joy Gurl (but call me V).
Owner & Founder
With over a decade of producing weddings and social celebrations across the country, I’m known for executing each one with energy, humor, and impeccable organization.
I have a true love for logistics, creating connections, and making everlasting memories.
I also love the fast-paced nature of event planning. When things change (as they sometimes do), I respond with a level head, a game plan, and a smile—so you can focus on having a good time.
Anyone can follow a timeline or speak to a vendor but that’s not what makes a great event. It takes dedication and an intentional approach. Consider my team and I an extension of your family.
I’ve produced events for some of the biggest names in media.
From revenue-generating events for the New York Times and global brand activations for Discovery Inc. to curated dinner parties for The Oprah Winfrey Network and the massive launch for Warner Bros. Discovery, I made sure each event was as legendary as the brands themselves—which is the same approach I take with you.
Veronica Joy Events is a product of the blood, sweat, and laughs I’ve earned over the years. I channel all my experience to produce an event that captures you.

Driven by joy—from

Dianna & Herman
"From the moment I met her, I knew that she would be the best person to plan our wedding: She is organized, professional, communicative, calm, decisive... like I said, there aren't enough words in existence! She was truly the conductor of the orchestra that was our wedding. I cannot imagine doing it without her, and I'm glad I'll never have to!"

“Our wedding simply would not have been possible without VJE. I had the pleasure of working with Veronica as a full service planner for our September 2023 wedding in NYC and she went above and beyond to make our wedding so incredibly special. This woman is SO incredibly organized, you will truly be amazed. I truly cannot put into words how grateful I am for Veronica and her team."
She will truly bring your vision to life. I cannot recommend this team enough. This review simply doesn't do them justice.
