Planning events was a big part of JoAnn Gregoli’s life when she graduated from college. Once she had received her degree in public relations, she joined a PR firm where she planned events for many major corporations, as well as private events for corporate clients. Since, she has started her own event planning business and created so many unforgettable experiences, including New York City-based and destination weddings for delighted high profile couples and their guests. Among JoAnn’s extensive wedding planning experience, by far, one of her most memorable and touching projects was assisting brides who lost wedding venues following the attacks on New York City on 9/11. With the help of “The Knot” and “Brides” magazine, JoAnn was able to relocate over 200 brides to new venues around the city. She truly cares about bringing the big day to life just as her clients imagine it, focusing on all the intricate details, from the save the dates, to the food, service, music, and design choices. Full-service event planning is available, as well as month-of-event, and partial-event. Whether the client wants to embrace the spectacular backdrops of New York, Los Angeles or Rome, or they want to take their wedding abroad to Mexico, the Caribbean or Europe, Elegant Occasions by JoAnn Gregoli can make the dream happen. Over the years, destination weddings have grown immensely in popularity and they are more than just a trend, with JoAnn being a guru in this area. She is also known for creating magical tented weddings, a wonderful way to tie the knot. Each tent is an empty canvas waiting to be painted by the client’s ultimate wedding fantasy. As a result of all her hard work and excellent reputation, JoAnn has been awarded with a series of accolades, including being recognised by “Modern Bride” magazine as one of their Trendsetters of the Year. She has also been recently recognised as one of the Top 25 Most Influential Wedding Planners in the World!
