A Charming Occasion is a boutique event planning and design company, located in Ventura, California. We service areas of Ventura, Santa Barbara, Los Angeles, and Orange counties.We position ourselves as a design-focused resource for the discriminating bride {or groom} through all steps in the wedding planning process, both as a consultant and as a coordinator. We assist individuals in creating unique and style-centric events through creative planning and professional execution.

We don’t believe that a wedding “should” be anything other than a reflection of the couple getting married. And to us, a wedding is more than just the big picture; it’s a collection of little details that bring together to create an event that is truly unique and memorable.

About Joelle:
In addition to being a wedding planner and member of the Association of Bridal Consultants, Joelle is a blogger, avid pinner, and lover of all things beautiful. She planned her very first event nearly five years ago, when her own mother walked down the aisle. Since then she’s coordinated events of all types, everything from corporate banquets to intimate dinner parties, bridal showers to rehearsal dinners, and even her own wedding. In her free time she loves wine tasting, window shopping at Anthropologie, and throwing her own cocktail parties, which often include mini cupcakes and handmade invitations.

Joelle launched A Charming Occasion in 2011 so that she could finally live her passion. As a self-professed hopeless romantic, she loves watching the brides and grooms that she works with live out their own love stories. It’s these stories that inspire her to creative beautiful events, so that their special day is remembered forever.

love from the clients

Joelle's passion for event planning is only surpassed by her professionalism. She is reliable, detail-oriented and quick on her feet. We had Joelle coordinate our wedding at the Four Seasons and she managed it masterfully. She communicated precisely with vendors, kept track of schedule, resolved any issues on the spot and made sure that our guests were well taken care of. Thanks to her, our wedding flowed particularly well. She is also an amazing calligrapher; she made our escort cards and they were a big hit. If the goal is to have a fabulous event and be in good hands, you want Joelle.
Linda and Steve:

My husband and I can't say enough amazing things about Joelle Duff. Her warmth and kindness is enviable, but best of all she is professional. She was absolutely a pleasure to work with, and was always responsive and comforting whenever we were in a panic. Joelle's customer service far exceeded my expectations. A great quality I admired in Joelle is she listened intently and could envision what I had in mind. She understood my personality, my taste and my expectations. She kept track of even the most minor of details, so I didn't have to worry about them. And with her charm, she did it with that bright and shiny smile! Under Joelle's watchful eye, the rehearsal and wedding day went off without a problem. She organized the wedding party during the rehearsal, and gave gentle instructions to everyone on what to do and where to go. On our wedding day, she was also at the reception site to oversee and coordinate the vendor's set-up, and to ensure that the room was set to perfection. Most importantly, Joelle was a friend during the whole wedding planning process. She kept calm, focused, centered, and most of all she kept us on schedule. I would highly recommend Joelle to any bride who is looking for "The Perfect Day." Anyone and everyone with a Southern California wedding should hire Joelle!

My husband and I were so lucky to have Joelle help us on our wedding day. We thought we had it all under control, but when the day finally came, she was able to help with things we never anticipated. Even with rain and missing appetizers, she was able to keep calm and do what needed to be done so that we could enjoy our day. It really was the most amazing day in our lives, and we both know it wouldn't have been that way without her.
