Weddings are a celebration of love, life, and the feeling you wish you could bottle forever - joy.
While planning a wedding can feel overwhelming, it doesn’t have to. With almost ten years of experience bringing unforgettable weddings to life, our mission is to make sure you actually enjoy the process. From the first planning meeting to the final dance, we’re here to take the pressure off - so you can focus on what matters most.
An Ode to Joy is more than a sentiment - it’s our philosophy. It’s the joy of feeling genuinely cared for from day one. The joy of thoughtful, creative details that reflect who you are as a couple. The joy of working with someone who just gets it - who listens, understands, and brings your vision to life with clarity and ease. And most importantly, it’s the joy of being fully present, soaking in every unforgettable second along the way.
Because a wedding isn’t just about one perfect moment- it’s about the feeling of joy before, during & long after your day.
Founded by Chloe
A natural creative, calm presence and trusted confidante - YDBC isn’t just about what gets done, but how it feels to work together.
With Chloe’s fun, thoughtful, and genuinely caring approach woven into every touchpoint, clients don’t just get an expert planner, they get a partner who just gets it. Someone who brings energy when it’s needed, calm when it counts, and a fresh, joy-filled perspective to the entire process.
Chloe’s personality is the brand, making YDBC not only a wedding planning service, but an experience couples can look forward to, trust deeply, and enjoy wholeheartedly.
TEAM YDBC
Since starting her business in 2020, Chloe has been supported by her husband Stephen and beautiful French Bulldog, Panda. Stephen has been an integral part of the YDBC team since the very beginning — whether it’s managing logistics, lifting the heavy items, driving us around the state or just being Chloe’s support system. In 2022, Stephen founded his own successful floristry business, The Abstract Florist, meaning they are often able to work together as a dynamic duo. In 2024 Panda was given a baby sister, Birdie, who made their little family complete — if you have a meeting with Chloe or Stephen, you are bound to have two little pointy-eared assistants joining at some point to say hello.
Chloe is supported by an incredible team of freelance stylists, who work tirelessly onsite to bring every YDBC wedding to life.
When working with YDBC, you will work directly with Chloe throughout the entire journey — from initial enquiry, all the way until the last dance. Because of the nature of our work, Chloe’s office days are limited, which is where her executive assistant Natalie will step in to ensure all emails are answered quickly and our couples are feeling 100% supported throughout their planning journey.
