John and Esther - Tiptree, England - 5/27/08
"We just wanted to say a very big thank you for everything you did for us Joanie and making our wedding day so special. We were a little worried about setting the whole thing up from over in the UK but it was so simple and the day was perfect, and you were so helpful. The service was great with our kids being involved in the sand ceremony, which is something they loved, and the location behind your office was ideal with the beach being so quiet. Mike also took some great photographs with our friends and parents involved as well and it all went so smoothly so thanks once again. Next time we're in Cocoa Beach we will come and see you, it would be nice to be there to celebrate every wedding anniversary!!"
Cody and Ruth - Fort Campbell, KY - 5/1/08
"You did such a wonderful job. My husband and I especially appreciate your
flexibility in working around his R&R dates and all the last minute changes you did to make our
special day stress free for us. Our R&R was so amazing and memorable. My husband is back in
Iraq now but has this memory and all the pictures to keep him going until he can be back home again.
And all the guys love his pictures too. Many of them never had a wedding either and want to do this
for their wives when they get back also. So don't be surprised if you get lots of 101st Soldiers
coming your way!"
**Jennifer and Chad - Melbourne, FL - 4/5/08
"I just wanted to thank you for the beautiful wedding ceremony you performed for
my daughter and her husband. The setting was so beautiful and you were a joy to work with. Everyone
loved the ceremony. It was so easy and stress free.Thank you so much. Linda"
** Edie and Joe - Winter Springs, FL - 3/7/08
"We would like to thank you for making our wedding day perfect through your
planning and follow-through. Even with the same day wind problems, you were able to create a
beautiful ceremony and setting. As it turns out, we had the best of both worlds, a non-problem
ceremony, and great wedding pictures of us on the beach. We wouldn't have changed a thing.
We have recommended others who are looking to do a beach wedding to you, and we will continue to
do so. Thank you again for alleviating the stress of our wedding day, and making it a day we will
always remember."
**April and Jody - Ontario, Canada - 3/6/08
"Jody and I just want to say thank you for everything you have done for us
to make our wedding day perfect. Living so far away, I was a little uneasy about doing it all
online and meeting later but after I met Joanie I was asking myself what I was so worried for.
She found us a great spot on the beach (Lori Wilson park) It was a small private ceremony with
4 of our 6 kids, because 2 were unable to make it Joanie still incorporated them in the sand
ceremony. It was a wonderful experience and would recommend Joanie to all who dream of beach
weddings and even to those who don't. You made our dreams come true and could not thank you enough."
Cynthia and Derrick - Kissimmee, FL - 2/29/08
"Derrick and I wanted to thank you so much for the awesome job that you did
on our wedding ceremony, on February 29,2008. Everything came together very smoothly. There is
a lot of beach ceremony companies out there but I'm glad that we decided on yours. I was very
stressed out with the planning but felt at ease once we were on the beach and at the hands of
such professionalism. Also the photographer did a great job making sure everyone felt included
in the picture taking. We can't wait to see the pictures! Thanks, and hey maybe we'll see you
next leap year for a vow renewal!"
Lourdes and Christian - Titusville, FL - 2/14/08
"I just wanted to thank you very much for the beautiful beach ceremony you

on how intimate and special the ceremony was. Some have even said it was the prettiest ceremony
they have ever witnessed. My wedding day was absolutely perfect. I was extremely impressed by
your services. It was an absolute pleasure to work with you. I was very happy to meet you on my
wedding day. You were easy and great to work with and the location was spectacular.
Chris and I feel very blessed that things went so well. We had to let you know how truly grateful we
are for everything you did."

wedding day perfect! Your service, professionalism, attention to detail, demeanor
and spirit, were more than we ever could have hoped for when we picked "a stranger"
off the internet and put the fate of our wedding in her very capable hands. From our
moment of first contact, through all of the decision making, and until the final pictures
were taken, you were an absolute angel. Your willingness to accommodate any last
minute changes that came up and your thoroughness, made our wedding day stress-free
and beautiful. We were also very impressed and pleased with the photographer,
videographer and bakery that you contracted for us. We would highly recommend you
and your services to anyone interested in a Florida beach wedding!"

express my appreciation. I was hesitant to do a beach wedding since it's something so different
but I am so glad I did and wouldn't of wanted it any other way. It was perfect. All my
expectations were fulfilled and I am grateful for that. Michael is an awesome person to have
as a photographer and he also helped with the process before the wedding. Both of you promptly
answered my phone calls and emails and made me feel very comfortable. Even though the wedding
was simple it was classy and everyone enjoyed their self. There is no thinking or stressing

making it a cherished memory!"

done nothing but rave about my wedding day and how beautiful it was thanks to you. My guests were very
impressed with the set up and how beautifully it was done. You were there to greet my guests,
welcoming them with a big smile and your warm and charming personality. It is such a pleasure knowing
you. You became more to me than our wedding coordinator you became a friend and I thank you for the
time you diligently spent answering all my questions and setting up the most memorable day of my life!
You did nothing less than a spectacular job. "
Emily and Eric - Lake Mary, FL - 6/25/07

we know that is getting married. Everything was so relaxing and there was no stress!"
Peter and Ennis - Warrington Cheshire, England - 5/30/07
"Well Joanie, what a very professional woman you are. When we decided to get married in Florida we
thought this was going to be a real problem because we were not having guests, it was just going to be us just us and
our 10 year old daughter. We were just looking for a very simple ceremony and you said "that's not a problem, what you
want I will give you". So all we can say to you Joanie is a "very big thank you" lot's of love Peter+ Ennis XXXX"
** Adam and Jennifer - Apopka, FL - 5/12/07
"I would like to thank both you and Dustin for the wonderful set up of our
Wedding Ceremony. It was everything we had hoped it to be. The set up was exactly as it was on
the website and the microphone and amplifier was so crisp and clear, it was heard on the beach
ramp by a guest of our wedding who had a bad motorcycle accident weeks before the wedding and
could come down on the beach because of the wheelchair.
You came recommended by some of the leaders in the Brevard County Weddings Industry and I trusted their judgment but you definitely exceeded my expectations. Everything was seemless. I appreciated your time before the wedding and your impeccable follow-up to all my questions and concerns. You are great at 'Calming the Bride' a technique that everyone in this industry needs to learn. You have got it. Thanks for everything. It was great!!!"

Steven and Lisa - England - 5/15/07
"From Lisa's father Stephen...I really had to put in writing our most sincere
gratitude for the wonderful effort you put into Lisa and Steven's beach Wedding yesterday.
Although I, and I am sure others , verbally thanked you, the day was made so memorable by your
professional kind caring manner, making the day what it was. I am sure you saw a few tears shed
by us otherwise macho males, testimony to the atmosphere that you created. On behalf of all their
family and friends thank you from the bottom of our hearts."

married at since we didn't know anything about the area. And when we got in town and I
gave her a call she was the nicest woman ever. She gave us our dream wedding. I was
nervous at first, since everything was done "on line", but once we met Joanie e knew we
made the right choice. Thank for everything!"
**Caren and Marvin - Longwood, FL - 11/25/06
"Beach Weddings by Joanie.....Joanie, we cannot thank you enough for
making our wedding day more than special. The entire beach, sand ceremony was perfect for us.
You gave us many options to choose from and it could not have been any better, it was truly
amazing! The arch and palm trees were so professionally set up not to mention how beautiful
it truly looked. Better than we anticipated. Our guests so enjoyed the sand ceremony.
They thought that was an extremely special touch, and a great idea. Thank you for your
kindness and thoughtfulness even before the ceremony took place. We highly recommend Joanie,
she has that special touch and a caring heart!"
**Lori and Jonathan - Melbourne, FL - 11/25/06

dreamed of. All because of Joanie and the Unique beach Experience. I would highly
recommend Joanie to anyone who wants an amazing wedding experience on the beach!"
**Marie and Jonathan - Inman, SC - 11/18/06
"For "out of towners", whom knew really nothing of the real area,
except of our dreams; Ms. Arseneault was a tremendous help. From the first questions,
to the planning of the wedding, the wedding itself, through the follow up
after the wedding, it all went VERY smoothly. If we had thoughts that we
were not sure of, we ran them by Joanie. Her input about local, time of
day, etc. was invaluable to us. Remember, we are not from Florida, so she
was our eyes and ears. My family came from all over the United States and
were most impressed by the entire wedding ceremony itself. I/we would
highly suggest her group for your special day, as ours was truly special for
us."
**John and Laura - Oviedo, FL - 11/18/06

friends. It was a beautiful way to begin our new lives together and we thank you from the
bottom of our hearts."
