Joy Boudreau was always a planner, but planning dances and trips with friends eventually evolved into something more concrete.
Boudreau, founder of Joy of Events Group in Camp Hill, says she earned a bachelor’s degree in hospitality and tourism from New York University, working with various high-profile companies in the process. “I eventually took a break from the biz to pursue my second love, sports,” she says. “I returned back to the industry in 2018 and started the business in 2019 with my husband following the planning of our own wedding.”
Joy of Events Group offers consultations, day-of coordination, and customizable event planning of any scope. With all these services, Boudreau’s style of planning makes the business stand out. She says, “My clients often thank me for making them feel sane and just listening during our calls, so I kind of take on their stressors for them and attempt to put their mind at ease ahead of their big event.”
Looking back at her collegiate track career, Boudreau found a picture of herself, under which said her long-time goal of planning events for celebrities. In a way, she’s doing just that. “All of my clients are celebrities to the important people in their lives,” says Boudreau. And to hear people say “I feel so much better” after Boudreau’s help makes it all that much more worthwhile.
